Geezer Butler

Like anyone who's just been through a trip to the hoosegow, Geezer Butler knows he probably shouldn't say too much about his case in public.

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has been arrested following an altercation at the Corkscrew Saloon on the Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley, Calif.

The bass-playing legend is booking pubs and hotel lounges throughout Europe in order to watch.

The bassist adds, however, that any follow up to '13' wouldn't be about the money.

A grisly mass cat slaying that recently occurred in Yonkers, N.Y. has left Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler searching for answers -- and willing to help foot the bill for a hefty reward offered to anyone who can help catch the killer.

Snap up those tickets where you can find them, Black Sabbath fans! If Geezer Butler's hunch is right, this is your last chance to see the band on tour.

He pretty much sketched the blueprints for the heavy metal bass players who followed him.

The headline of Spin's new interview with Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler promises that they "answer the hard questions." And the heavy metal duo approached the occasion with the proper spirit, pulling no punches with their responses.

We still haven't heard more than a single riff from Black Sabbath's upcoming '13' album, but nothing's keeping the band members from telling the press we should expect great things from the new songs.

Happy birthday to Terry Butler, the man known in the metal world as "Geezer." The bassist turns 63 on July 17. Geezer has been spending his summer playing dates on the 'Ozzy and Friends' tour, and, will be part of Black Sabbath's Lollapalooza set in early August.
