Black Sabbath’s guitarist Tony Iommi who wroted the “Lonely Planet” - an Armenian entry, gave an interview to Eurovision.tv.

 

- Dorians manager admitted that he hesitated a lot before asking you with to provide a song for the Armenian entry. “It was really weird - to ask for a Eurovision song from the Godfather of heavy music”, he said. So what was your first reaction to the proposal?

 

- I was really pleased to be asked and it didn't take long to agree.  I had a quick think and felt that one of my ideas would be suitable.

 

- Are you happy with the lyrics of the Lonely Planet and the way that Dorians arranged and performed the song?

 

- I think they're really good it's a something that should concern us all. The Dorians perform really well, they largely followed the demo that I had done at home so there wasn't a surprise.

 

- Isn’t it strange for you - to listen to your music performed by others, especially - the guitar riffs and solo?

 

- Over the years I've got used to so many other people performing Sabbath material I don't find it strange now.

 

- What you think - is there a chance that people who normally don’t watch the Eurovision Song Contest will change their minds this year because of your involvement?

 

- I hope so!

 

- What is your message to Dorians ahead of their semifinal on May 16?

 

- Best of luck, you deserve to do well, sorry I can't be there in person.
