Geezer Butler Talks Black Sabbath, Catholicism, Veganism, His Memoir + More

Not very many of the old rockers have aged this gracefully.

Geezer helped me learn to play bass. Play, Stop, Rewind repeat 20 times lol. N.I.B. was my first Black Sabbath lesson.

Love Geezer!! Lookin' good, man.

The lyrics to War Pigs were the most epic and a very accurate description of politicians in this century and currently in 2024!

"...Ian told me what to play, and nobody tells me what to play." Good man, Tony, thanks to that great attitude we have Black Sabbath.

Geezer you are a gentleman and a scholar!! Been a Black Sabbath fan since 1969!!!

Geezer looks great!... He will be 75 next month (July 17,1949)

He is one hell of a bassist

I read it. It was great. I have ready Tony's and Ozzy's. I hope Bill writes one too.

I got sent home from Catholic grade school back in the late 70’s,for wearing a Black Sabbath shirt, my Mom bought me. Awesome interview!

Both john entwistle and geezer butler are the reasons I play bass

Geezer aging gracefully here. Looking better than most 60 70 and 80 something year old rockers. Grey hair looks great.

Great interview with Geezer!

Wonderful interview with a true gentleman,and a great bassist.

Oddly a friend of mine who was in Tony Iommi and Albert Chapman's class at school - and also in Tony's Iron Man Bio - was also at the shooting of that Beatles performance and my mom also worked at those studios which were the Alpha television studios in Aston where they shot shows like "Thank your Lucky Stars" which is the show Geezer refers to, and also shows like Lunchbox. A lot of the kids in Birmingham - and Geezer is referring to a show shot in Feb 1963 - were allowed into these two shows for free if they queued up outside. I travelled to Poland with my old friend a couple of months ago and we had a long chat about this show and I recounted Geezer's story but although being at the same school as Ozzy he didn't recall him being there but there were hundreds of kids there so could have missed him. It was actually the first TV show the Beatles appeared on that went out to the whole country as much TV in the UK was regional back then so not every show ran in every region. My friend saw the Beatles at their first show here in Birmingham in 1962 and he helped them carry their gear in. Oddly my friend never saw Black Sabbath live but recounts that in the last weeks in school when they left in I think 1963 Tony brought a guitar into school and played Apache. Up to that point having been in the same class as Tony for years, he had no idea he even played a guitar.

Geezer is a beast! Saw them on their last 3 tours and he was all over the place.

Iconic personality. I wonder GB, and others like him of the era truly understand how profound their contributions were/are to music. In 1978, I was on the bus from high school discussing with a fellow classmate this "sound" I was looking for in music . That sound was guitar distortion. He said to me. : I think the band you are looking for is Black Sabbath" ... Boy was he right.

Geezer is The Man.

I've got that book, autographed, , read up till the 1st meet up with the Tony, bill, and ozzy..greetings from Detroit

Geezer, please come back. The Mass is everything we need.
