If you’d like to hear Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler talk about Count Basie’s influence on Sabbath, and some other stuff about ‘metal’, then you could do much worse than going round to their houses and asking listening to this documentary from Radio 4 - Metal at 40.

Link comes from the brill Speechification blog, who point out all the little speech-based gems you may have missed on the radio. They also have a MP3 of the programme to download.
