Eerie.

I didn't realise that the Spinal Tap 'Stone 'enge' track was a wee-wee take of this song.

Or the story behind the stage set at least.

Didn't they come out about the same time, and it was just coincidence? Or something even more evil.

Like the opening riff on this one! rock

The tour is most infamous, however, for the gigantic Stonehenge props the band used.

Iommi recalls in his autobiography that it was Butler's idea but the designers took his measurements the wrong way and thought it was meant to be life-size. Months later, while rehearsing for the tour at the Birmingham NEC, the stage set arrived. "We were in shock," writes Iommi. "This stuff was coming in and in and in.

It had all these huge columns in the back that were as wide as your average bedroom, the columns in front were about 13 feet high, and we had all the monitors and the side fills as well as all this rock. It was made of fiberglass and wood, and bloody heavy."

The set would be lampooned in Rob Reiner's 1984 rock music mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, with the band having the opposite problem of having to use miniature Stonehenge stage props.

Which song is it?

I forgot about Tommy Iommi. He was often on BBC Midlands Today. box
