Geezer Butler Bass Line on The Solo of Children of The Sea - 15/04/2009 Sao Paulo, Brazil

[riff88m]

Geezer Butler, my hero . . .

[IClooky]

GEEEEEZEEEER!

[alguemvj]

EU TAVA LA.. MELHOR SHOW DA MINHA VIDA... EM FRENTE AO TONY... FOI FODA..

[Epidemiax19]

Omg , this guy , really , its my fucknig inspiration , his style....its awesome

[DarkWolf5250]

Best bass player. (In my opinion) He may not be the most technical player, but the stuff he plays is always awesome.

[shaboobo1988]

don't forget Steve Harris

[mikexlong]

Geezer is the metal master, but we would not have our Geezer Butler if it were not for Jack Bruce.

[cursedswordsman]

...Wow. This is nothing compared to what Cliff could do, seriously.

[zeppelin1996]

@cursedswordsman Agreed! Geezer is the master!

[megatallica999]

...muderface

[Scannatovivo]

That's a Bass player...not Flea, I mean, he's good too, but Butler is a god!

[kokos100195]

Heey, Steve Harris rocks too!

[Andrewoid95]

Geddy Lee, John Entwistle, Steve Harris, Cliff Burton, then GEEZER BUTLER!

My bass heroes!!

[macseinchin]

Mike Watt! Another amazing bassist to add to the list and someone who I (being a metal- and prog-head of many years) had not heard of until recently....never too late to know about another great alongside Entwistle, Bruce, and Butler...

[yurismir1]

@macseinchin You mean the bassist from Minutemen? I've heard of him and yeah he's a badass.

[GrungeMetalRocker]

guys dont forget Jack Bruce from Cream !

[IommiSG69]

Who the hell are those 2 shitbrains who dislike this?

[MJM153]

There's many different ways to judge talent and i think geezer fits into the "best at making a complicated bassline that perfectly fits a song" category.

[Epidemiax19]

His style is..FUCKING EPIC

[chickencrowe]

and les claypool

[benb023]

Don't forget John Entwhistle from THE WHO! I am a huge Sabbath fan, but John dominates Geezer.. Either way, they are both AMAZING, and better than I.

[sonicdeath10]

@benb023 Geezer is an Entwistle disciple, much like Chris Squire.

[TheSellersm1]

And geddy lee



[9doma9]

He is good but not the best. There is always a better bassist you probably never heard of, jamming in his garage or something...

[XxleandraXX01]

hell yeahh!!!! all hail geezer! legend!!!!

[NightmareSnake]

Steve Harris.

[MaglorTheMinstrel]

Jaco Pastorius !

[garfield798]

My favorite bass line ever!!! \m/

[vantallicarmy]

he looks like the guy from deathlock

[giraffegivingbirth]

@vantallicarmy read up on it and apparently murderface's character was based off geezer butler :D

[TheAlias789]

@vantallicarmy do you mean william murderface? :D

[74jailbreaker]

The fuckin bass master!!!

[nilton16tube]

i was there!!

[Nuudles12]

Geezer is the bass master.

[pedrohjn96]

the best bass players in my opinion: 1°: Geezer Butler 2°: Les Claypool 3°: Cliff Burton 4°: Steve Harris.

[MrOzzyIommi]

Awesome lick by Geezer.

[MrOzzyIommi]

I meant "I like it".

[jakeelee904]

Steve Harris, Geezer Butler, Geddy Lee, John Entwistle...Bass Guitar Gods. 

[AceInTheWhole94]

@jakeelee904 Yea this list's better...i personally dont think cliff burton was all that good..he wasnt..all distortion...but was a great song writer and metallica's awesome nevertheless..was at least

[10laughungtears]

@jakeelee904 Cliff Burton :)

[fautivista]

@10laughungtears is overrated

[DarthEcoli]

@fautivista overrated you say??? if anything geezer was underrated. hes fucking brilliant!!

[fautivista]

@DarthEcoli NO GEZZER , cliff was , gezzer is fucking awesome

[xxleandraxx1]

Geezer is one bad ass geezer! kicks ass!

[muckyducky70]

I took up bass after hearing geezer play. ...that was over 20 years ago now ...im still playing and lovin it. great musicians will always inspire people to get off their arses and see how good they can get. hats off to mr butler!!!

[tommyz86]

powerful ballad, one of the best songs by Black Sabbath with Dio, I think. bass line is great, Geezer rulezz :)

[headbanger623]

Why are you guys so impressed with a bass line largely consisting of the root and the 5th?

[topraman519]

@headbanger623: Because it's a great lick, that's why.

[XXXkLeCiIj69XXX]

@headbanger623 yeah your right, but anyway geez is a beezt

[MrOzzyIommi]

@headbanger623 I'm pretty sure you have no soul and can't understand it

[headbanger623]

@MrOzzyIommi Why are you talking about soul, this is "metal." This is where guitar players play fast, largely arpeggiated lines without giving the music time to "breathe." You are obviously not a musician, so I'll explain. Giving the music time to breathe means giving a slight pause after a musical phrase. This originated with horn players in jazz and soon spread to many solo instruments due to its aural appeal. How can you defend the music with a contention that it has soul, and I don't?

[Phil3975]

@headbanger623 Maybe you should check the whole song before saying there isn't a "pause after a musical phrase" /watch?v=t8cAdMLvF_A

[headbanger623]

@MrOzzyIommi This isn't what you think of, when you think of soul. Soul isn't a white man from England. Soul is music akin to blacks in America. That's where the entire connotation came from. Jazz, blues, soul, funk, gospel, and bebop have a soul quality, not metal, thrash, white rock, or screamo. I play guitar, piano, cornet, bass, drums, saxophone, vibes, and harmonica. I know what this "soul" quality is. He is an above average bass player, but nowhere in the realm of

[MrOzzyIommi]

@headbanger623 man, I fucking hate screamo and how you dare mentioning it in the same sentence of all those genres... I love Jazz and Blues as hell, I fucking love Rock and I love Metal too... so I don't think you're doing the "oh watch me I'm so cool guy" with the right guy... I didn't say this is Soul, I said YOU have no soul.. I perfectly know what is soul and I can say this is pure SOUL (meant as "with soul") playing... I'm sorry for you if you don't know shit about music [continue]

[headbanger623]

@MrOzzyIommi I took AP Music Theory this year and got a 5 on my college exam. From 6th-8th grade I was obsessed with the history of Rock, from 9th-10th grade Jazz and blues history. Now I'm starting to get into classical, flamenco, bossa nova, motown, and other music. What background do you have in music? Yeah, that organist was good. Listen to Joey Defrancesco, he will blow your mind. I don't think I'm cool. People who listen to good music aren't "cool."

[TheBigDickInYourAss]

@headbanger623 you are both gay little kids shut the fuck up

[headbanger623]

@MrOzzyIommi People that listen to shit from the corporate music world are "cool." This is very confusing to anyone who enjoys music for the sake of the music, not its sappy lyrics, controversies, or popularity. I occasionally find musical qualities in "music" today. For example: American Boy by Estelle, Ms. Officer by Lil' wayne - get a loop station and play all the parts on top of each other.its pretty amazing, and Turn my Swag on by Soulja Boy uses an unorthodox iv-IV-V-iii harmonic progress

[headbanger623]

@MrOzzyIommi  Harmonic Progression.*

[MrOzzyIommi]

and there's no need to do any fucking list of bassists to show how cool you are, we're talking about GEEZER BUTLER, so, stick to the argument please. You said it's just a rooth and is fifth... yes, it is... but I like ok? uh? oh, maybe you passed too much time trying to look cool and more skilled than the others and didn't listen to enough music.

If you want to listen to some Soul funky Jazz I suggest you to listen to Jimmy McGriff... an awesome musician... just an advice.

[MrOzzyIommi]

PS: Yes, I AM a musician, how can you judge if I'm a musician or not? because I know what is good? THIS sir, is called being musicians and playing with soul.

Also: I won't respond to your stupid comments again.

[headbanger623]

@MrOzzyIommi Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorius, Ray Brown, Norm Stockton, Stanley Clarke, Charles Mingus, and Marcus Miller.

[SuperVerst]

I absolutely love Geezer's bass playing. I think he is the most solid bass player ever.

[mikexlong]

the geezer is the god of the bass.

[stanmarshpwnz]

@mikexlong black sabbath is the god of music

[mikexlong]

@stanmarshpwnz I hear that!

[Ivansson92]

[JoeCapeta]

[luismiguelavellaneda]

Este bajista no le llega ni a los talones a Michael balzary el popular *flea* de los red hot chili peppers

[carlito899]

que hablada de mierda . sabbath OWNS red hot chili peppers

[dieyoung80]

JAJA eres un pobre pendejo, q pendejadas dices pinche idiota, Geezer Butler no es el mejor bajista del mundo pero su estilo es único, dices q michael balzary es mejor porque eres un pobre tonto q se va a lo comercial y no a lo artístico.

[LadyDarknnes]

@dieyoung80 Tonto é você , pra falar mal tem que fazer melhor.. você faz melhor ???

[twoo57]

[twoo57]

Any REAL Sabbath/Heaven & Hell fan recognizes Vinny on drums here... NOT Bill.

[doublejj58]

@iDrum37 you know Geezer started out as a guitarist. Ozzy was looking for a band and Tony and Bill came to him. Then Ozzy asked Geezer if he wanted to be a bassist for their band. Geezer agreed, learned bass and they became the most kickass band until Ozzy got fired. R.I.P Randy Rhoads
