- Geezer Butler talks about his book 'Into The Void: From Birth To Black Sabbath And Beyond', His Wife, Band Members, Money, Stonehenge and Touring.
Interviewed By: Clive Anderson
A great book - just finished on a plane from IAH to LAG... Geezer comes through as a very cool and decent man - I liked his, 'things that I cannot say due to the current PC culture' - we get it, Geezer. Loved how his philosophy is so similar to Maca's - make great music, have fun, love your woman, family, don't eat dead flesh. Kudos Geezer - thank you for the effort - a great job !!!!
I was a long time friend of Mark Forster, Sabbath's Tour director and personal manager in the mid 70s well into the 80s. I was able to tour as a guest of the band during some of that time after getting in a car accident in front of a hotel they were staying at just as their limos entered the parking lot. I was 19 and had been driving to each concert. Terry told me "that's what you get for following us around". Several years later, Mark told me that Terry was advocating for my suggestion to name their first official Live album "Legally Live" (Do you remember that Terry? - if you read this). as a suggestion from the numerous bootleg albums that were in existence at that time. "Live Evil" was chosen instead. Mark passed away in 1992 and I lost direct contact since. I am 68 years old now. I have a memoir myself with one chapter including this adventure with Sabbath.

The book is well worth reading!!
Geezer is great and an amazing lyricist and bass player.
Very grounded

Listening to the audio book, he reads it himself and its great.
BUTLER is a classic rock star. Those songs will live forever.
The book is great!
Clive Anderson is a super interterviewer and who doesn’t like Geezer?
Love geezer
Gotta get this book ASAP
Great book, a must read for Sabbath fans.
Im half way through the book, and it is fantastic!
Same here. I enjoy the stories that are specific to certain albums.
🤘🏼
Amazing talent. At 3:05 have to laugh😂
I shall be buying the book. My 1st ever gig in Adelaide was Sabbath in 1971. I was fascinated and mesmerised by Geezer (and Ozzy) who were manic in both playing and movement. Tony just stood like a rock and Bill was amazing. But I fell in love with Geezer on the spot! Well, almost🤣🤣
If you listen to ozzy in interviews he always says the backbone of the band was geezer and bill ward while tony iommi was to busy stopping his toupee from attacking the fans 😂😂😂
I saw them at Ngaruawahia Music festival, January 1973 in NZ and was surprised when they played Changes from Vol 4 their then current album. Halfway through the set a huge cross was set on fire at the back of the field.
@@stevesut2566 i would loved to have seen them back then but i was only 7 in 1973, i first saw ozzy in 1982 on the speak of the devil tour just after randy rhoads had died 🍀🍺♠️😜
@@ackerjawaka4742 You would have loved it mate. They were touring the Vol4 Album. On Changes Tony played piano and Geezer played Mellotron over on Tony's side stage. The set list was the same as the Live at Last album. Bill ward was an amazing drummer back then, he could Swing.
@@stevesut2566 i missed out on seeing acdc with bon scott and iron maiden with paul dianno coz i was just to young by about 3 years, saw maiden in 86 but the old songs didn't sound right with bruce on vocals 🍺🍀♠️😜😂
Just found the next book im gonna buy. Thanks for telling me about it.
nice 1 terry
Geezer a "strict vegan" 😲Bless him!
More steak for me fool!
@@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544 Indeed!
Since the 60,s too!
C# !! 🎸
Geezer is the bio we old, old Sabbath fans have been waiting for. I read Tony's, (Cruel, cruel man in some ways.) Ozzy? C'mon. He's getting worse with age. Anti-Jesus. Ugh. Sabbath rose from the ashes of a destitute town and Geezers lyrics were cognizant of the times. I heard the Paranoid album first in a blacklight basement in August of 1971 and it was simple and yet complicated, Vietnam and all of that. But above all it rocked hard and dark. But not evil. I loved Masters of Reality but Paranoid blew up some eggshells and gave us young men a view into reality that we could relate to.
You’re a fruit loop.

Interesting the GOAT of metal bass players has a book I got to read for sure. You guy's realized you were being ripped off and did something about it by Sabatoge record, the song "The Writ" powerful mind you, tell us you finally did something about it
Don't go on. Put it back, you're reading from the Bible Black. (2009)
Just finished Geezer’s remarkable book, the best autobiography I’ve read of ANYONE, whether musician or public figure. His memory for details is extraordinary. I especially love that Geezer has been vegan since he was a teen (I went vegan too during my teens). I’m convinced his razor-sharp memory and genuine warmth for those who come into his orbit are down to his not being an abuser of innocent animals. Once you’ve recognised the evils done to animals in the abhorrent meat and dairy industries your entire world view changes. It’s much easier to be empathic and ‘tune into’ others as there is no cruelty in your soul. Geezer also recounts some otherworldy experiences that happened to him in his early years, that would have made it easy for him to see the Divine in all Life and make that decision in his teens to go vegan. Being aware of the darkness within the souls of man’kind’ also explains his dark lyrics, perfect for Black Sabbath. This is a fully comprehensive story, told with warmth and humour. Put it this way, I couldn’t put it down and finished it in four days, and will read it again in a year or so. Thoroughly recommended ✨
There is definitely much truth to what you're saying about veganism. I wish more people could see the atrocities that the meat and dairy industries perpetuate against INNOCENT animals and reconsider their diets. It's not as difficult as you might think. Approaching my 2 year anniversary as a vegetarian. These days,there are so MANY options other than eating animals.
Peace on our earth.
ALL of OUR earth.
Geezer doesn't seem to have aged too badly, and hasn't had the health issues the others have either. Could be down to his diet?
That say we had no money,,but on the quiz show ,they had to name top ten richest droomers and bill ward was 5 th with a fortune over 50 million who's that possible
13 was a complete disapointment
Geezer writes exactly how he talks. Almost cockney. But that just makes the book better.
