There are many names for Tony Iommi: Riffmaster, Riffgod, Father of Heavy Metal, Godfather of Heavy Metal and so on. I think its fair to say, that Tony is the most important person for the development of Metal as such for, well, just inventing it singlehandedly as main songwriter of Black Sabbath (responsible for 90% of all Black Sabbath songs even back in the Ozzy era). I grew up with Black Sabbath, listened to it when I was in elementary school, so their music had a definitive and huge impact on me. Especially Tonys riffs, when I started to learn playing guitar. Still, Tony will always be one in the top 3 of my favourite guitarists. Thinking, how hes capable to create terrific riffs and also melodies with such an ease, that I can just admire it. All that even though he lacks two finger tips on his gripper hand (middle and ring finger), what was the reason that Sabbath tuned down their instruments, so that the (banjo)strings were more loose and Tony had it easier to play with the (first selfmade) plastic finger tips. That Tony is a songwriting genius states a ton of rock and metal classics, that dont have to be named, because they are frequently known. Even though, their are pearls in Tonys discography, that are often overlooked. The whole Fused album, especially this song, would be one of them. Together with Glenn Hughes (Trapeze, Deep Purple, Gary Moore, HTP, Black Country Communion, California Breed, Solo and yeah, Black Sabbath [though Seventh Star should became the first Iommi solo album]), who sang and played bass on this album and is a rock legend himself (also called the voice of Rock by some), he created this little masterpiece in the year 2005. I Go Insane has everything you want, dramatic twists, heavy riffs, beautiful melodies and a catchy, epic and slightly bluesy overall tune. So I think, that also many Prog lovers will love this song! ~Thornchild Lyrics: I just wanna live forever But you just made other plans Theres a changing of the weather And my life is in your hands I saw you in the garden And you turned and walked away I dont think I can take it Can you hear me when I say? It dont feel the same as before I wont take the blame anymore When you leave I go insane I cant breathe, I go insane And you know inside my head I go insane I want you to forgive Cos I dont really want to live To live Now Im standing on the platform But it must have been a dream And I fall into a chasm Then you pulled me from a stream I am lifted by your spirit And it haunts me to this day I dont think I can take it Can you hear me when I say? It dont feel the same as before I wont take the blame anymore When you leave I go insane I cant breathe, I go insane And you know inside my head I go insane I want you to forgive Cos I dont really want to live Every time you leave, every time I go I dont wanna breathe, you dont wanna know Every time I leave, every time you go I dont wanna breathe, you dont wanna know When you leave I go insane I cant breathe, I go insane And you know inside my head I go insane I want you to forgive Cos I dont want to live Youve gone against the grain and I will surely go insane I want you to forgive Cos I dont wanna live Youve gone again the grain and I just go insane Insane Insane https://youtube/watch?v=bqWcycpatDs
