@@bartclam hmm I've heard mixed things about a plant based diet and looking young. Suppose if someone eats loads of veg and almonds and stuff it's different to eating loads of pot noodles.

@@dominicaaaaa5547 a healthy plant based diet is the best diet , noodles are not great for sure , some whole wheat noodles once in a while is fine though . What I particularly like about a plant based diet is that no animals have to be bred for me , all beings should be born free , live and die being free , there is far too much cruelty in the farming world and the poor dairy cows have a horrible life ,just like slaves , I want no part of it .
@@bartclam well good on you Bart I have a lot of respect for vegans I tried a vegan diet a couple of times and it just wasn't for me but I do realise that eating dairy means animals suffer just like they for meat so I will hopefully be able to stick with it one day. Hopefully more people are eating less meat and less dairy food these days.
Ozzy's Idea was, They make Scary Movies? Why not Scary Music 🎶. In the beginning, The Band was so naive. Some spiritual folks gave them crucifix ✝️ to wear! Geezer asked, "why do we need these?" & The spiritual folks just said. "Best wear them for Protection!" 👹 & They all Did! 🤔
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.
Goodness , Geezer looks and sounds great !! It s cool to actually hear him .... yrs ago they were like invisible , naturally there wasn,t the media there is now
I'm honestly blown away so often when I read articles on a metal news site or something that has a link to the actual (like this one) UA-cam video and see such a low view count for some major, major legends. It doesn't affect how much I enjoy the music, obviously; it's just hugely surprising.
It’s because he has given an interview to such a no-mark UA-cam channel. If he’d given an interview to Rick Beato or even Sea of Tranquility it would have loads more views.
Terry "Geezer" Butler is a great bassist, he speaks kindly of his peers and never spoke harshly of anybody else (not that I am aware of), a quality which contrasts other rock stars.
After so many years of listening to the classic Sabbath albums, I used to tune out Tony's guitar and just listen to Geezers riffs. And holy shit this guy is insane. He came up with some of the best bass licks ever!
Geezer Butler is an absolute icon! Great bass player. I read his biography recently and am a huge Black Sabbath, I was fortunate to have seen the original lineup live- it was a religious experience, for me. Thanks for the video.
I enjoy listening to Geezer give interviews, partly because of his accent but even more so because of his humor. He is by far the most interesting member of Black Sabbath, IMO. And he's written the best autobiography.
Bought "Into the Void" and "Iron Man" at the same time. Have read "Into the Void", and it is a great read. Honest, straight to the point and down to earth - Just like Mr Butler in this interview. Love Geezer's accent. He looks well preserved for 75.
Its just a divine experience to hear this gentleman speaking with a noble British accent, everything so well spoken and interesting. You just can't stop listening to him!
@@sandrider1406 You're right, I should say English, but still there is no one English accent - I mean you hear he's not an American which is a good thing
And the guys from Sabbath were also friends with Robert Plant and John Bonham, both also being from Birmingham. Bonzo was Tony Iommi’s best man at the latter’s wedding, by the way.
Black Sabbath is my favorite band of all time, but I've never seen them live. Long story from my mis-spent youth. In 1980 I was 12 years old and had a Milwaukee Journal paper route. I was at our "shack" getting my papers and was bragging to anyone that would listen that I going to the "Black and Blue" concert that night, Blue Oyster Cult opening for Black Sabbath on the "Heaven and Hell" tour, Geezer's book cover. Being only 12, my parents said there was no way in hell I was going to the concert, despite me begging like a dog. I was more than disappointed at the time, but in retrospect, it was probably a good thing! By all accounts, BOC took the stage and opened as scheduled. Sabbath, on the other hand, flew into Chicago and the flight was delayed, then they hit traffic enroute to Milwaukee. By the time they took the stage, they were an hour and a half late. The first song into their set some idiot threw a beer bottle and hit Geezer in the head. Sabbath abruptly left the stage and their manager came out and announced, "That's it! Show's over!" The crowd supposedly chanted, "We want Sabbath! We want Sabbath!" When it was apparent that Black Sabbath wasn't coming back, they ripped the Arena apart and practically started a riot in downtown Milwaukee. To this day, Black Sabbath is banned for life from ever playing Milwaukee again.
Buy the Book. Into the void by Geezer Butler. An enormous Human Being, a true Catholic!. You must be to have a point of view about life in a sad world and never loose faith. All four to me a Black Sabbath fan, are the inventors of heavy rock ( metal) they are the real deal. The four horsemen of Heavy Metal. And yes pray for them because we love them. All original four members. Thank you Mr Butler for writing those masterful literary masterpieces.
This is the father of moving basslines within a hard rock or heavy metal environment. There is something very organic between Geezer and Bill Ward. It's almost like they're both behind the beat for a nanosecond. Geezer fingers just above the neck. It's insane and it gives him a totally unique sound. This guy is more influential than many people think. His tone was perfect alongside Tony and a little like Entwistle, he held down the melody during the guitar solos. I could think of people like Cliff Burton and Steve Harris who had to be influenced by Butler. One of the top bassists ever.
Geezer Butler would look like he was in his late, 50's if he were to dye his hair. He has aged amazingly. Butler and John Paul Jones from Zeppelin are my two, favorite Bass players of all time. Thanks for sharing this treasure of a video. Terry, if you're reading this "Thank You" for all your killer tunes. Your writing is just as important as Tony's guitar playing. You & Bill Ward created a tight bottom end that carried the band. I hope all of you are still getting along. Peace.. Joe
Lovely Geezer interview . Love Sabbath right back from the 1970s,,, Geezer was the lyrics as well as bass …Lovely historical stories and insights,,, lovely memories, and lovely CATS 🐈 sporadically striding past in the background….lol 😊. (Paul)
My most replayed bass line is Geezer in ‘Time Machine’ (Live Neon Nights)Heaven & Hell also lyrics ‘ Pain is just a way to excercise your mind ‘………with old Ronnie singing bless him.
I don’t know why, but I’ve always found the brummy accent endearing. Tony, Ozzy, Bill & Geezer are always great to listen to, but I am a lifelong Sabbath fan🤘🏻
I'll tell you about that cover. Geezer is playing a B.C. Rich Eagle. Because of Geezer, that was my first and favorite bass (Mine was an N.J. Series -- don't knock it, it was a good bass). Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. . .
His bass sound with the B.C. Rich Eagle on Live Evil is, in my opinion, the best bass sound that he has had. Surely my favorite, together with his bass sound on Dehumanizer. Greetings!
Back from Spain and finished Geezers book . Brilliant read and hard to put down . On shelf now next to Tonys Iron Man and I Am Ozzy. Space left for Billys book
I'm really glad they reference the Beatles as they should, because of their impact and influence. Never knew Geezer was a vegan like Paul. Geezer wrote some great lyrics! Looks great too, like Tony. I think Ozzy and Keith Moon were kindred spirits. I really loved the original band the best. They weren't trying to fit in some sub genre at that time and were free to explore and be their TRUE selves as a band!
Legend. Great bassist and him and Gloria are great friends to the animals. Going Vegan was one of the best things I ever did. So eat plants, turn up the bass and UP THE VILLA. Supplemental comment - "Computer God" predicted exactly how social media would cause the havoc it does to the world. And the only reason I loved communion was because I could get a sip of wine.
The problem with vegans are THOSE who always says: "So eat plants" or in that style, as to tell others to do. Meat AND plant eaters never says "eat meat".
@@rabarebraThat is because there is a victim involved. If you care about victims you speak up on their behalf. I have no idea why that is so difficult to understand. Is it because you disassociate yourself from the impact of your violent lifestyle? Of course (The Internet is loaded with people saying eat meat and most ads push flesh eating.)
Like them or not, If it wasn't for the Beatles I don't think we would have had all the great bands/music of the 1970s. The Beatles are the most influential band of all time. There will never be a more influential band on so many musicians ever again.
Such a dude is Geezer. I don't live far from Aston ( also a Villa fan) where it all began. I think I read his biography in about 3 weeks, such a great read. Tony's book was also brilliant.
Not very many of the old rockers have aged this gracefully.
Veganism is good for the animals, the mind, the body, and the planet. As such, be like Geezer and go vegan.
@@julianlawrence1648 People are free. Pack up your propaganda.
@@julianlawrence1648Provably false.
I don't doubt that vegan/plant eating is a healthy lifestyle. Geezer is obviously fortunate to have healthy genes too as he looks great.

Both john entwistle and geezer butler are the reasons I play bass
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!
I read it. It was great. I have ready Tony's and Ozzy's. I hope Bill writes one too.
Same, had the same thought about Bill writing his own

Out of all these Guys Geezer has always had a Great sense of humor about it all
Seems like he doesn't take things too seriously therefore probably doesn't worry too much, which is one of the biggest killers.

It's a great time to be a Villan.UTV.

19:37 what a way to play the bass, it s all right is a great song; in the end i don t understand which was the particular movie that he would watch…
I grew up in HB CA and in the punk days my band mate's dad was in rehab with Bill Ward. He def lived in HB at that time.
I have the Gospels of Ozzy and Tony Iommi. Can't wait to read this one.

You aren't as smart as you think you are. You probably couldn't read any proper philosophy to save your life.
