Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath Diagnosed with Lymphoma

According to a statement from Black Sabbath, guitarist Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma. The statement asks fans to send good vibes to the guitiarist, who is currently working with doctors to determine the best treatment plan and remains “upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery.” This news comes just months after the group announced their plans to record their first album in 33 years with producer Rick Rubin and tour behind it in 2012. The band’s statement does not say whether or not the tour will be affected by Iommi’s condition, but does mention that the band will travel to the UK to continue to work with Iommi. We would like to send good vibes and a speedy recovery to Mr. Iommi.

Line 6 desont suck Line 6 desont suck if u know how to set it up correctly. First dont even put the drive halfway, just a little bit more below the halfway mark. Use the hi gain channel instead of the insane channel if u wanna play rock or hard rock with the drive a little below the halfway mark because Line 6 desont have any numbers on the knobs. The crunch channel is for playing softer music like folk or reggae or whatever. I have a Line 6 spider 4 and I know how to make it sound like a Fender amp or a Marshall
