Interview With Blacks Sabbath's Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler Will Help your Band Decide Where To Take Their Music Live And In The Studio
I decided to grab this 1992 interview with Tony and Geezer who talk mainly about Sabbath from 1980 and forward. They had their best singer since Ozzy, Ronnie James Dio who helped define Sabbath with a new textural range that seemed to be even heavier. As well, the interview talks about Dio's reluctance at first to go along with certain lyrical picks for new songs.
But where this interview helps you the players out there is where Geezer talks about the importance of producing when it comes to live material and what to focus on. But the tell tale little nugget of advice for players comes from Tony when he talks about why bands seem to focus on what a record label or your fans want. And why Tony said that's the wrong move.
I hope this interview with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler gives your band some advice that can help it move to the next level. And many respects to the recently passed on Ronnie James Dio.
