    Yes, and you can see Iommi in Tull miming away in the Stones'
Rock & Roll Circus film.  Never recorded with them, and that's
the closest he came to an appearance with them.  Not surprisingly,
there was not room for both Iommi's and Ian's egos in there ;)

    I have, however, heard that Iommi had some connection to Martin
Barre--encouraged him to try out for the spot or something.

Cheers,
Carl
