Happy birthday to Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi!

Black Sabbath's own guitar god, Tony Iommi is 75! Johnnie celebrates with another chance to hear Tony reveal his own Rock God.

Plus, it's Quo v Radio 1 for This Week in Rock!

Let's face it: Tony Iommi pretty much invented what we know today as heavy metal.

Tony's guitar wizardry and drop D tuning for Black Sabbath's doom-laden signature sound ignited generations of wannabe metalheads.

To celebrate Tony's milestone 75th birthday, Johnnie's giving you another chance to hear Tony tell all about his OWN Rock God. Clue: it's his best friend!

Elsewhere on the show, This Week in Rock shines a light on the thorny fall-out between Radio 1 and Status Quo in the '90s. At the time, the Quo were still in their 40s but their 25 year career wasn't cool for Radio 1 anymore. Safe to say, the Quo were not pleased - and took a stand!
