Geezer Butler really is the driving force of the band, quietly spoken but musically gifted he's been the main lyric writer for years working on a higher plane than most humans do alongside Tony Iommi, they both describe their relationship as more than just friends could ever be, it's a spiritual connection, something that can't be repeated with anyone else. Butler is also a mad Aston Villa fan, when asked what is his first true love "Villa or Sabbath?" he hesitates not, "Villa".
Iommi is the riff master, he's created some of the most memorable riffs in rock history, Paranoid, Iron Man, War Pigs, Dirty Women to name just a few. How in rocks name he has the "feel" that he does for his guitar when the finger tips on his right hand were lost in a sheet metal accident and replaced by some wax/plastic tips is amazing. Some of the close up footage of his work has to be seen to be believed.
Ozzy, hilarious in some parts of the interview, claims to be no good at singing but was born to be a front man. He's 100% correct. He's got one thing he'd like to fix, jet lag. Although when laying in a pool of his own urine in a hotel room he always thought "jet lag" was a good reason for being in such a state.
It's well worth the 2 and a bit hours of your life if you've got one metal bone in your body.
Sabbath bloody sabbath.
