Tony Iommi Shares Funny Socially Distanced Photo with Robert Plant

Tony Iommi and Robert Plant have both signed a guitar for an upcoming charity auction benefiting MusiCares, and they took a funny socially distanced photo together in an effort to help promote the auction.

Iommi’s Facebook shared the photo of the beautiful Gibson SG up for auction along with the caption, “Check out the guitar signed by Tony and Robert Plant, hopefully someone with deep pockets will want it!

What really makes the photo is a few things:

1. They’re both wearing masks and gloves, if you look closely.
2. They’re clearly (and a little awkwardly) six feet apart.
3. Plant’s wearing shorts and looking like the most normal man on Earth, but then you think to yourself, “He’s Robert Plant. He can do whatever he wants, and it’s still badass.”

If you do happen to have deep pockets and want to learn more about the auction, you can do so at JuliensAuctions.com. If you don’t have deep pockets, have a brief laugh at this funny photo. We all could use one, really.

11 Original Band Names We’re Glad Didn’t Stick

  • The Polka Tulk Blues Band (Black Sabbath)

    Share

    Black Sabbath's original name came from the brand name of a talcum powder Ozzy Osbourne’s mother used.  Yeah…definitely not as dark as Black Sabbath.

  • The New Yardbirds (Led Zeppelin)

    Share

    Fact:  Nearly every “new” version of a previously well-respected brand is always crap.  (Ex: “New” Coke.)  Definitely thankful for this name change.

  • Rat Salad (Van Halen)

    Share

    Awesome Black Sabbath song, but it’s not the best band name.  Plus, without the Van Halen band name, we wouldn’t have their classic band logo, which is easily one of the coolest logos to rock on a shirt ever.

  • Mookie Blaylock (Pearl Jam)

    Share

    One of the best athlete names of all time?  Of course!  A great band name?  Not exactly.  Eddie Vedder once said the band that would become Pearl Jam were too busy writing music to come up with a band name.  We’re thankful for the great music, but we’re equally as thankful for the name change, even if there are some sticky rumors behind that name's origin, too.

  • Rocket Baby Dolls (Muse)

    Share

    One of the biggest bands in the world was once named after a Japanese porno movie.  Smart change, lads!

  • Screaming Abdabs (Pink Floyd)

    Share

    “Screaming Abdabs” is apparently slang for “extreme anxiety or nervousness.”  We’re sure many record companies would’ve been nervous as to how to market a band with that name.

  • Sweet Children (Green Day)

    Share

    It’s not like Sweet Children is a bad name; the problem lies within when the band members age.  Think about pop groups like New Kids on the Block or Backstreet Boys.  When you’re old enough to qualify for an AARP membership, a name that signifies youth is just silly.

  • Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

    Share

    Good lord! There are no words. Why? The Chili Peppers seemingly used all of them in that terrible attempt at a band name.

  • Pud (Doobie Brothers)

    Share

    Out of all slang terms for male genitalia, this one is definitely the least sexy and whimsical. Way to opt for a weed-based name!

  • Cans of Piss (R.E.M.)

    Share

    For a moment, imagine “Shiny Happy People” by a band called Cans of Piss. Ugh...just awful!

  • Naked Toddler (Creed)

    Share

    Regardless of your feelings about Creed, imagine a song as poignant as “With Arms Wide Open” by a band named NAKED TODDLER!  Actually, never mind. Just don’t.
