YEREVAN, MARCH 11, ARMENPRESS: Black Sabbath legendary guitarist Tony
Iommi - whose song was selected as Armenia's Eurovision Song Contest
entry - last night admitted: "I've plenty more where that one came
from." As Armenpress reports citing British Birmingham Mail, Iommi
said he was gobsmacked when the Armenians chose Lonely Planet - a song
he wrote more than five years ago - as their Eurovision contender,
but now he has high hopes for the track. Among other things he noted:
"I was as shocked as anybody when they came knocking. They got in
touch with me because of the charity work we've been doing out there,
building a new music school to replace one wrecked by an earthquake.
They asked if I'd got any spare songs.
Well, I write loads of songs and they just get put away. They lie
on a shelf because either they're not suitable for Sabbath or for
another project, and never see the light of day.
I searched out Lonely Planet - it's a bit of a power ballad - and
sent it off.
The legendary guitarist posted in his official web site on March 3:
"Well here's something different, one of my demo ideas has been chosen
as the Armenian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest." The lyrics
is by Vardan Zadoyan. The song will be introduced in the semi-final
on May 16th in Malmo, Sweden.
