As anyone who's ever closely listened to Black Sabbath's music knows, there's a wide disconnect between the band's "evil" image and the actual lyrical content of most of their songs.

Like anyone who's just been through a trip to the hoosegow, Geezer Butler knows he probably shouldn't say too much about his case in public.

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has been arrested following an altercation at the Corkscrew Saloon on the Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley, Calif.

  Happy Birthday to Geezer Butler. The bassist and primary lyricist of Black Sabbath turns 65 today(July 17th).

The bass-playing legend is booking pubs and hotel lounges throughout Europe in order to watch.

It took Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler 35 years to find their way back to the studio for an album together -- and now it seems like their long-awaited reunion might mark the end of this version of Black Sabbath as a recording act.
