BLACK SABBATH Bassist Geezer Butler On Upcoming HEAVEN AND HELL Dates: "It Is Hard To Remember What You Played On A Lot Of These Songs"
February 2, 2007, 17 years ago
Classic Rock Revisited have issued a new interview with BLACK SABBATH/HEAVEN AND HELL bassist Geezer Butler, conducted by Jeb Wright. The following is an excerpt:
Q: You have not visited the Dio era Sabbath material for some time. Has it been easy for you to revisit those songs?
A: "No, it has been really hard. For this tour we are doing strictly Dio era songs. Apart from 'Neon Knights', 'Heaven And Hell' and 'Mob Rules' – which we have done live before – we have not done a lot of the others live. There are several songs we have never played live. We are playing a lot of stuff for the first time since we recorded it. It is hard to remember what you played on a lot of these songs."
Q: Now that you are relearning them, what do think of these songs?
A: "I think they are great. It is really surprising how good they are, musically."
