Zitat des Tages von Geezer Butler:
Jack Bruce, as soon as I saw him, it changed me. I didn't even know what bass players did until I saw Cream.
If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.
Black Sabbath was written on bass: I just walked into the studio and went, bah, bah, bah, and everybody joined in and we just did it.
Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I've ever met. Son of Sam is a close second.
I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.
The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work.
I would not want to write something about something I do not think about.
It's totally produced now. It's almost like a conveyor belt of what metal's supposed to be like these days. It's not music to me.
Lately, I've been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!
I never picked a bass up before Sabbath started.
I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.
It doesn't matter who you vote for. It's still the same billionaires that run the world.
However long the song is was how long it took us to write it.
Ozzy wanted to get us back together. It's been 20 years. We did a couple of songs during his farewell in 1992 and that got the ball rolling.
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.
We were into Hendrix and Cream, who were like the heaviest bands around at that time. We just wanted to be heavier than everybody else!
I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in.
To me, Sabbath was always JUSt a really heavy blues band. That s all we were. We just took those blues roots and made them heavier.
I love soccer. That's all I ever watch. I'll watch it all day if I can. But I'm too bloody old to play now.
I never try and sound like Sabbath.
It seems like the older bands are bigger than ever. We get a mixed crowd where you have kids and old blokes like me.
When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant.
