Why Geezer Butler Will Never Release His Jazz Songs
Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler revealed why he’ll never release the jazz songs he’s written.
He recently acquired a seven-string bass, which he told Kerrang! allows him to “play guitar and bass pretty much at the same time,” and, as a result, he was writing new music.
Addressing a 2005 rumor that he might work on a jazz album, Butler said, “I’ve got loads [of] jazz tracks already written, but if I put a Geezer Butler jazz album out, who would want that? There’s [a] jazz bass thing I’ve written that’s so complicated, I can’t remember how I did it. I can’t reproduce it. I must’ve been pissed at the time! I had a go at it, but you play it to people and they go, ‘What is that?’”
