Trunk conducted
an interview with bassistGeezer
Butler for Hartke at
this year's NAMM. You can now watch the chat below. A
few excerpts from the chat follow.
On the new Black Sabbath album:
Geezer: "We've finished recording it. Tony's back in England putting down a couple of solos. Then we start mixing it in Febraury and it will be out in June.
"The provisional title is '13' - unless we can come up with something more constructive."
On Black Sabbath's touring plans:
Geezer: "We start at the end of April in New Zealand, then we go to Australia, then Japan. June, we'll be promoting the album, then July and August [is] USA. Then October is South America and Europe in November and December."
On how it feels to be back working with Ozzy Osbourne again:
Geezer: "It's great. We just have a lot of laughs and lot of fun."
On whether he has contributed lyrics to the new album, like he has in the past:
Geezer: "Yeah, I've written most of the lyrics. Ozzy comes up with the titles and then gives me an inspiration to write the lyrics. I think we've got 16 songs and I've written 14 sets of lyrics."
On his plans to release another solo album:
Geezer: "When I finish this cycle for the Sabbath touring and album and everything else, we'll start work on the next GZR album. There's a lot of material written. It's just getting the time to record it. It'll probably be sometime next year."
