Old enough to be a Sabbath fan from day 1, I clicked on the video thinking I'll spend 5 or 10 mins skimming the highlights. 36 minutes later I'm typing this.
Awesome! Geezer obviously on the best ever bassist list, but he is also on the best ever lyricist list. Geezer's lyrics were deep, insightful, and light years ahead of their time! I know a lot of people connected to Sabbath because of their lyrics.
Yep, I noted that too - obviously Geezer didn't fully express himself, ours being a PC controlled world - but, we read between the lines, Geezer. All is well
@Peterickenbacker1 h aha, Geezer make a politically incorrect statement, and some women will sue him for a 1969 Geezers attempt to kiss her while both were sky high
@@Ukraine_Rocks-OKMy guess is that it doesn't have anything to do with women. It might have to do with the way the band was treated by their former managers, and some of the record company decisions that were made.
I love the way he moves his body with the base,i get hints of Lemmy i do!!!...what amazes me the most is the chemistry in early Sabbath!!.. him and Iommi,Geezer dont play same riff in "same position", hes all over the neck,12th fret,3rd fret 7th fret,he got a great navigation of scales,a keen sense of the frerboard!!!😎🎸
A great book - I've read it to the end. Him is a great man, Geezer - his philosophy reminds me that of Maca's - make great music, love your woman/family, have fun, don't go crazy with Galaxy Rings, enjoy life.
I SEEN HIM AT CBGB's with Burton c Bell!!!..i was right infront watching him jam,man that memory alone is worth more than any" green paper" you could throw at me,......then again "every man has his price"....😎....🤗....
Got to see his solo band, "as a backup band" when they toured with Bruce Dickinson's solo band. Met him out in the parking lot (what a great humble guy) when the band was driven to the venue and were going into their tour bus, a small bar in New Westminster BC. He blew away Dickinson's band, imo. Dickinson was good also, I like his solo stuff way better than Maiden.
So, Geezers brothers generation had Elvis, his generation had the Beatles and his sister had Cliff Richard..... sounds like sis got the short end of the stick. Cool interview.
The great bands mentioned as heavy metal at 26:04 were not such at all; there were acid rock, light, hard, progressive. None of those bands were heavy metal as it didn't really even exist that far back either. What a misnomer.

Wow! To have seen Geezer at CBGB's is historic in and of itself! Black Sabbath is my favorite band, but I've never seen them, or any of Sabbath's members, live. I have seen Fear Factory with Burt Bell 6 times, just not very recently (obviously).

If I could go back in time and see a band live I’d choose sabbath any day
Great interview well done thanks to both ends. Cheers.
Very well done. Im in tears. Joyously. 56 NJ, just a commercial roofer is all. Peace😮
Imagine the book if he was allowed to say what he wanted....Im sorry its a pathetic time thease days unreal. But a outstanding interview thanks!!

I don’t think politics has anything to do with it. It’s not about censorship or anything else. It’s about lawsuits, which went down decades ago.

@@Ukraine_Rocks-OK Indeed...the woke freaks.

Getting to see Hendrix, Cream, Beatles and Zeppelin in real-time explains everything.
Wish I could read the original script!
Nice guy

Geezer IS the perfekt guitarist for Heavy Metal god bless Geezer
Geezer is not only a great bass player, but a great lyricist. It was Geezer, not Ozzy, who wrote the lyrics to their early classics.
where can we get the unedited version of the book
+-
I was hoping for a 35 min. supercut of Into the Void, one of my favorite Sabbath tunes
Nope.

"Don Arden hung Robert Stigwood out a window."
Shit,f'n phone!!
I would have brought the book, if it wasn't censored for the nancy boys.
Its really awful that authors can't say what they want. What happened to free speech?

book sounds a bit tame.interesting bits redacted

The Animals were from Newcastle. ELO was another huge Birmingham band who were also robbed & ripped off by Don Arden.
Martin Birch just died 3 years ago 🤔
I heard other people died that same year...
What a gifted producer he was. RIP.
Martin Birch & Chris Tsangarides, two of the very best - rest in peace.
