A gentlemen, a lyrical genius who wrote most of Sabbath's greatest tracks of all time and one of history's most talented and under-rated bassists. An icon.
He's my bass hero, not because of his skill, but because of his humbleness. He wrote lyrics (Wheels of Confusion, specifically) that resonated with me in my formative years. Thank you for being you, Geezer.
How did Geezer Butler get surrounded by a group of pretty ladies? Butler is a master lyricist and has taken bass playing to a complete new level of sound. Check his live performance of Sign of the Southern Cross. Never heard a bass make those types of sounds before.
Underrated only by those who don't know music. An Icon to the rest of us. Geezer is one hell of a musician and person. May you find piece and happiness for many, many , many more years.
There is not enough I could say to describe the impact of Geezer on my life as a writer, bassist, and fan of music. Good day to you all. #UpTheVilla #Vegan
Geezer is straight up BADASS..a legend...I first heard him play at 4 years old... another bass playing monster was born..... Paranoid... number one favorite album of all time 🤘❤️
Awesome! Geezer Butler..Black Sabbath forever..I have been a Black Sabbath fanatic since I was eight in 1980. I have seen the band 26 times live and met the original band with Geezer, Tony, Ozzy and Bill in 1998 and Ozzy again in 2001. My favorite band ever. I have roomfuls of memorablia of Black Sabbath and KISS, my other favorite band.
The guys in Metallica before a gig, as a prank told Cliff Burton that Geezer Butler was in the crowd. Probably the only time Cliff freaked out and lost his cool
I ended up here because of a link that appeared when I found a video about Geezer’s N.I.B. bass solo (sheet music) from their first LP. Funny to see Geezer with women. Back in 1970 when I was 11 years old and learned that song I thought Geezer is such a badass dude he would never even talk to girls, which are so terrible, giggle all the time, and think they are so smart. What a disappointment then that he even got married. But he has survived and ended up with four lovely ladies on a podcast, who would've believed.
Really enjoyed the interview! To say Geezer (Terry) is influential is a huge understatement. Seeing another side is always interesting. Best wishes to Terry and Gloria.
I'm thinking Geezer was somewhat of an oddity, being a vegetarian in 1950s-60s working class Birmingham. Thank you, Terry for making all that beautiful, game-changing music!
Thanks folks! I love Geezer and his music has been the soundtrack to my life since I discovered Black Sabbath when I was 12. It’s so nice to see a little more of him as a human and husband and not just a heavy metal god 😊 You’re all lovely, thank you for having him on ❤️
If if wasnt for Geezer I would never of became a bassplayer myself. 35 years ago a friend wanted me to learn bass but I thought it was a boring instrument that just rode the root notes. A couple days later my friend brought me a cassette of the very first Black Sabbath album and I was blown away and hooked on bass from that day on. I eventually learned all his bass lines and i now have a Black Sabbath tribute band.
It always puzzled me why people thought Sabbath were satanic. Most of Geezers early lyrics were about god and the evil that people do, not satan. 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe because the upside down cross inside the gatefold of their first album🤨don’t get me wrong, love the Sabs, one of the greatest bands ever. Just suffered (and benefitted) from their marketing
Another great interview! I'm a HUGE Sabbath fan. Geezer's lyrics are unmatched and quite prophetic. Feels like we're living War Pigs now. Lord Have Mercy! 🙏 Watching you ladies is a respite from the tumultuous times we're living in 🙌💕
I met geezer in Detroit back in the early 80’s, I believe it was the Mob Rules tour. Had a full length fur coat on. Nicest guy, didn’t have a problem signing autographs for us
@@mmaskery That beautiful for coat that Geezer Butler appears in the photo from the remastered Mob Rules booklet (1996)???You still have the autograph,luck man!!!? Hugs from Brazil!
I know right?!? It's really amazing how good he got, in only like 18 months after switching from guitar to bass.By the time they recorded their debut album, he had become a friggin Samurai on bass !!! RESPECT.......

I dont have much talent. But, i redeeme myself throught my music. And Geezer Buttler is my inspiration I was 12 learning guitar without really feeling it. My teacher gave me the Black Sabbath first album, hearing NIB. Bright me. It was like a reborn. Since then I play bass And my teacher
One of my favourite rock Doc clips ever is Geezer talking about how the song Iron Man came about on the Classic Album series, must watch if you've never seen it...suffice to say the song could have been called Big Iron Bloke!
Geezer, the time is now to do a REAL "THE END" album and a one off show with the ORIGINAL 4. Today's technology, it can be done. Tony said he's up for it, & Ozzy & Bill. It would be the proper way to bow out. Thank you again for the meet & greet at Ozzfest in Pittsburgh, PA. 2007! Still have my autographed T-shirt you signed there! Remember, you said I was the ONLY fan to ever make a shirt with your pic & to ask you to autograph 😁 Please Geezer, think about what I asked you. It would mean alot to not only me, but the whole lot of US diehard fans!
Biggest takeaway: THE Prototypical Hardest of Hard Rock Bass Players is no fan of Rap “Music” and has the Courage to say so, albeit whimsically, as to maintain his composure as a Gentleman and to not offend any delicate psyche’s….. TY GB
I was at the show in Milwaukee when Geezer got hit in the head with a beer bottle. The band refused to keep playing and a riot started. That was the Black and Blue tour ( with BOC in 1980 ).
Geezer is great other than supporting Villa haha. My family came from Aston but we were always Blues fans. I wonder if Geezer ever comes back to Birmingham. The last time I saw him wandering around here - other than at shows - was probably 20 odd years ago.
Front of the mob in 1977, rowdy show and somebody tried to climb over the barrier and stage security guy kicked him in the head. I watched Geezer take that security dude off stage right and beat his ass while hitting open notes on his bass!
saw deadland ritual at download i thought they were brilliant, did seem wrong that they were on the second stage during the afternoon when die antwort get main stage playing just before slipknot

Geezer Butler was a great guest on your show, good to see he is doing well, and didnt know this side of him, greetings from a life time fan of Geezer and Black Sabbath all the way from Metal, Monterrey, México....
Oh Mr Butler Tony was just on and they asked him a question will there ever be another Sabbath and he said you never know look how many people came and left and came back again but he would never tour I was hoping you would feel that way to now that they have zoom four of you could just write music and I would love to see all four of you just put out some simple songs just so the four of you would get together and I really mean that it it's just the one thing has not happened but if not thank you very much for all that you did and that you do
btw Grealish transfer was $140 million, he doesn't make all that. His base salary is about $17million per year, exc bonuses and sponsors etc. he's not the biggest transfer either that belongs to Neymar(grealish is sixth on list) at $275 million. sorry to be pedantic haha
Geezer is the heart of Sabbath.
He and Bill.
A gentlemen, a lyrical genius who wrote most of Sabbath's greatest tracks of all time and one of history's most talented and under-rated bassists. An icon.
Mr Butler in my opinion is one of the greatest Lyricists of all time ever.
He was responsible the majority of the lyrics for most of Sabbath's iconic song's. He gets over shadowed by Tony and Ozzy though....
Geezer's dad wrote lyrics, too?? That's where he gets it from!..
@@mikeg.9238 - Ronnie wrote his own lyrics when he fronted Sabbath.
@@RHINOSAUR Yeah i know , i'm talking about Ozzy era Sabbath...
No kidding ... that inane dungeons and dragons stuff
Geezer and Tony are metal legends 🤘🤘
Geezer’s words and bass playing has meant the world to me for a long time. Thanks for this interview.
Gezzer is why I played bass! A Total Insperation!!
A very humble man. A class act and a legend!
How could you not love Geezer? Such a nice, humble man and one of the true living legends in rock music.
They HAd their problems Ronnie talked about this but it's all water under the Bridge.
He's my bass hero, not because of his skill, but because of his humbleness. He wrote lyrics (Wheels of Confusion, specifically) that resonated with me in my formative years. Thank you for being you, Geezer.

What he said about BS ending on top. He was absolutely correct. That performance was so outstanding. Love BS.

"We were better off when I was the accountant"...... hysterical
i can't say thank you enough for everything. my entire life sabbath has and will forever be the best.

Excellent! Seeing Geezer in a whole new light. Just wonderful.
I like how he lovingly treats his dog
If if wasnt for Geezer I would never of became a bassplayer myself. 35 years ago a friend wanted me to learn bass but I thought it was a boring instrument that just rode the root notes.

Terry is such a great Gezzer ...and talent. Great interview.
One of The Best BASSISTS OF ALL TIME!!! AND AN AMAZING LYRICIST!! THE OMIGHTY BUTLER!!!👍🤘🤘👍👍
Geezer really is a good geezer no doubt , just a level headed likable guy .
His lyrics are my Bible. If ignorant people would listen, not hear, what he and Sabbath were saying, the world would be a better place.
It always puzzled me why people thought Sabbath were satanic. Most of Geezers early lyrics were about god and the evil that people do, not satan. 🤷🏻♂️
A lot of Butler’s lyrics in Black Sabbath. Were about people who give religion a bad name.
He (along with Venom and Coven) laid the foundation for the best metal genre ever: Black Metal
He and Tony are devout Catholics. The evil he wrote about stemmed from humankind, not👹
Maybe because the upside down cross inside the gatefold of their first album🤨don’t get me wrong, love the Sabs, one of the greatest bands ever. Just suffered (and benefitted) from their marketing
its the first album and its marketing, the marketing team put a inverted cross on it

Geezer musta learned fast, 'cause his playing on the first album is ABSOLUTLEY MASTERFUL.

One of Metal’s Greatest Bass Players 🤘🤘
It's fun to see him surrounded by these lovely ladies, very sweet
Geezer is such a wonderful person, he is still one of the most influential bass players.
This interview was so entertaining. Geezer is one hell of a rock bass player. Looks like i will have to listen to some Sabbath now !
Geezer’s Lyrics and bass compositions are top notch.
Thankyou great interview guys, Geezer is just fantastic- so cool
I dont have much talent.
But, i redeeme myself throught my music.
And Geezer Buttler is my inspiration
I was 12 learning guitar without really feeling it.
My teacher gave me the Black Sabbath first album, hearing NIB. Bright me.
It was like a reborn.
Since then I play bass
And my teacher
My hats off ! Respect.
Getting through it. Good man GB. He the best in so many ways
Great episode, I love Geezer Butler!
The fact that Geezer heard WAP at some point in his life is literally the funniest thing to me 😂
If you really want to live, go sing it at karaoke!
Most excellent interview ladies..made me smile...I love that guy
Women and Geezer Butler, and back to the Studio!
Geezer's fills are #1
One of my favourite rock Doc clips ever is Geezer talking about how the song Iron Man came about on the Classic Album series, must watch if you've never seen it...suffice to say the song could have been called Big Iron Bloke!
Need more geezer on podcasts
Nice interview, cool to hear some different questions .......
Geezer, your a star and your wife is lovely and obviously loves you. Your a lucky man.
Nice interview! love it! greetings from Costa Rica.
Mr Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi , to trzon muzyki metalowej , to najlepsza kapela swiata
I love this guy, so cool.
Oh my. Just found u guys. Love it!!!!
Man I want to go to the UK, especially Scotland, my motherland, the photos I've seen of the countryside looks beautiful.
i just found out I'm 40% Scottish!
Great interview. Thanks.
A legend Mr Butter thank you for all the great music.
Mr Butters 😂😂😂😂
he is definitely one of the world's premier bass players. i love him as a bass player and writing the lyrics for my favorite band in the world!!!!!
Geezer, McCartney, Entwistle, Flea, John Paul Jones...5 of the greatest rock bassists in history... all started out on other instruments.
The windows as I came to understand them: Sloan, Gloria, (Geezer,) then Amy, and Risa
I love the lady in white who asked him about the line ups change, but sadly he skipped 92-95 :(
The blood came out part, lol. That's what made love meats when I was kid. Fortunately, I still love most meats after all these many decades.
I loooove the brummie accent!!!
GEEZER! Forever!
Great questions ladies.
Geezer Butler is my favourite bass guitar player ever even tho I am a Judas Priest fan (sry Ian, I luva ya man, but Geezer...)
How was it interviewing God? We love you Geezer!
I love the band 'GEEZER', or 'GzR', burnt c Bell did vocals on one album
Burton*
Burton fit perfectly in those songs. Geezer is straight up bass gangster
Geezer, the time is now to do a REAL "THE END" album and a one off show with the ORIGINAL 4. Today's technology, it can be done.
Tony said he's up for it, & Ozzy & Bill. It would be the proper way to bow out.

This is actually quite nice.
yeah Geez!
I was at the show in Milwaukee when Geezer got hit in the head with a

Woah, didn't know Mr Geezer would be updated with today's football players. But then again, he's British, so ofcourse he will

When God swears he uses Geezer's name in Vain, but of course God is dead. Geezer is an all time A leaguer
The lyrics are God is dead? Questionmark!!!
I can hear children of the grave in the background
Who are the who are the girls what's the name of the show
The doors and then we have the rooms
Oh Mr Butler Tony was just on and they asked him a question will there ever be another Sabbath and he said you never know look how many people came and left and came back again but he would never tour I was hoping you would feel that way to now that they have zoom four of you could just write music and I would love to see all four of you just put out some simple songs just so the four of you would get together and I really mean that it it's just the one thing has not happened but if not thank you very much for all that you did and that you do
is the little brunette an actress? i swear i have seen her before
Amy?
I’d wish that i’ve see her more often ............ like every morning 😁👌
Correct me if I’m wrong being a non native English speaker. But doesn’t “on the rag” mean that a woman is having her period?
👍
These ladies don't look like black sabbath fans.....
What a flex lol being all slick and suave with a puppy with a bunch of milfs lol no biggie for him tho he knows what's up obv
Naughty bleeder😅😅😅
God Bless Geezer…for tolerating another vapid interview
btw Grealish transfer was $140 million, he doesn't make all that. His base salary is about $17million per year, exc bonuses and sponsors etc. he's not the biggest transfer either that belongs to Neymar(grealish is sixth on list) at $275 million. sorry to be pedantic haha
Jack Grealish is the largest transfer in British/ U.K history. I think that’s what they meant.
I hate to tell you this girls, but " on the rag " where I was brought up meant girls menstruating,
