Geezer Butler's Legacy and Why Ashdown Gear is Flying Off the Shelves - Pre-Order Now!
The Legend Behind the Bass
Geezer Butler is the bassist and primary lyricist of heavy metal band Black Sabbath, who formed in Birmingham in 1968, with fellow band members guitarist Tony Iommi, singer Ozzy Osbourne and drummer Bill Ward. As one of the founding fathers of heavy metal, Geezer's thunderous bass lines and dark, powerful lyrics helped define a genre that would influence countless musicians for decades to come.
The End of an Era
On 3 September 2015, it was announced that Black Sabbath would embark on their final tour, titled 'The End' from January to July 2016. This farewell tour marked the conclusion of nearly 50 years of groundbreaking music that changed the landscape of rock and metal forever.
The Sound That Defined Heavy Metal
