Journal Update
Mar 9, 2007
Hello Readers,

Well, it's almost here, time to get the hair dye out. We're all rehearsed and ready to go. Canada, and eventually the world, here we come! As you may have heard, the band is called "Heaven and Hell". We'll be playing a selection of songs from all 3 Dio- era albums (of Sabbath), and 3 new songs.

My GZR band is on hold for now, but songs will be written along the way, hopefully culminating as an album sometime in 2010, the Lord or Darwin or Richard Dawkins permitting.

I will endeavor to keep all informed along the rocky road, both highlights and lowlights, and my thoughts thereupon.

Soon, you all must rush out and buy [or stay in and download] Black Sabbath "The Dio Years" album, as offered by our gracious hosts Rhino Records.

So hope to see you all soon, and enjoy the show!

Peace, Geezer.
 
Journal Update
Sep 1, 2006
Hello Readers,

its been a year since i updated my "journal"; maybe I should call it an annual. Well the greatest tournament on Earth has finished, and I can now get back to normal life. i watched every match of the World Cup, and now I don't know what to do with myself. My congratulations to Italy, the world champs, and to Germany for organizing such an amazing event, and indeed to all the teams, for making life worth living. Football is the one true religion, hallelujah.

Well, since I last did my journal, so much has changed, and so much has stayed the same. The Ozzfest 2005 was enjoyable; it was great meeting everyone at the GZR signings- such marvelous people, so many budding bass players, and truly kind souls. Then just when I thought it was safe to go in the water, Sabbath were inducted into the British Music hall of Fame, and then the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, so it was a weird semi-busy 12 months. I thought Metallica did a great job , inducting us into the Hall and playing the Sabb songs, as did Brian May at the British HOF.

So far this year I have written about 50 ideas for the next GZR album, which is now in progress: I have criss crossed the USA in search of inspiration for my book, which keeps changing with every rewrite: and I have photographed a couple of ghosts, as well as some very interesting places. Photography (very amateur) has become my 3rd favourite hobby, and I hope to post some photos [yawn] on this site, starting with some of my bass/guitar collection [excuse the quality].

I have also visited some excellent vegan eating establishments, and enjoyed some excellent vegan wines and beers, but I am not sure if it's appropriate to mention them [alcohol concerns, blatant advertising], but if anyone needs to know, write in.

Good news! Since I started this update, the English football season has started and Aston Villa have acquired the greatest manager on the planet and so far have not lost a match!
 
Journal Update - On Tour with Sabbath and more!
 July 5, 2005
Stockholm, Sweden

Well the Sabbath European Tour is well underway- thanks to everyone who came to see us in the U.K., Germany, Austria, Greece, Czech Republic, Holland, Bulgaria; it has truly been a privilege to play our music for you. What a great bunch of people! Looking forward to Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. Rehearsals went extremely well down in Monmouth,Wales. i had a chance to visit a few castles and old churches while I was there. I'll include a few pictures i took while i was there.

Ohmwork is selling slowly but steadily- thanks from all in GZR to everyone who bought it. I'll be putting up a few songs from the first Geezer Butler Band album that was never officially released for anyone who wants to download them- apparently, two of the tracks have found their way onto a Japanese bootleg album, but are very poor quality, as they have been copied from cassette tapes. Also, people have been asking where they can buy the GZR wristbands I wear on stage, so we'll be selling them through this website, and any money from sales will be passed on to help homeless animals. Details will follow.

That's all for now. I'll be updating this journal more when I'm back in the USA, and I hope to have more time to spend doing it, especially on those long bus journeys!

Until then, take care everyone. Peace,
Geezer.
Journal Update - Various Topics
 May 11, 2005
Congratulations are in order this week. Firstly, I want to congratulate Tony Iommi for the best album I've heard in years. Sabbath fans, and Iommi fans, are going to be rejoicing when they hear this album. If you don't know by now, it's called "Fused." It's brilliant. Buy it!

Secondly, I'd like to congratulate Chelsea for winning the English Premier League, and Liverpool for reaching the Champions League final.
My wife, Gloria, and myself have added yet another cat to our growing zoo. She's a little grey kitten [named Gracie], who had hours to live before she would have been put down in the Los Angeles Animal Shelter. I'll post pictures for your perusal.

Meanwhile, on a more serious note, although I am a pacifist and hate the very idea of killing and war, I have been thinking of the troops out there in Iraq. I cannot imagine the situation that they are in. They deserve all our support, because they would lay down their lives to protect us no matter what the situation. Some of them have behaved in a bad way, but when you are caught up in the madness of war, I think anyone is capable of anything. It's easy to criticize while sitting at home, with our families, safe and secure. So to all our troops out in the field, a big thanks from me, and a safe and swift return for all, please God.

Anyway, onward and upward as they say. I'm off to England to start rehearsals for our (Sabbath] summer exploits. I'm particularly looking forward to playing in Greece and Bulgaria, as the original Sabbath lineup has never played there. So, I'll be seeing you somewhere in Europe or America.

Peace. Geezer.
Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site, its been a long time coming, but I haven't really had much to say except what's been on Joe Siegler's excellent Black -Sabbath .com site. it has been a long time since the last GZR/GEEZER album, and much of the time since has been taken up with Sabbath matters. In the last year I have rectified this situation by going into the studio and recording "Ohmwork" . This album reflects my true feelings of my life as of October 2004. We are all on this planet together, and every individual has the God given right to free speech, whether that God is spiritual or natural.  Happy Listening!
