Geezer Butler

Many of metal and rock's badasses are just big softies when it comes to puppies and kittens.

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.

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

The bassist adds, however, that any follow up to '13' wouldn't be about the money.

A grisly mass cat slaying that recently occurred in Yonkers, N.Y. has left Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler searching for answers -- and willing to help foot the bill for a hefty reward offered to anyone who can help catch the killer.

Good news, Black Sabbath fans: Your long wait for new material from the band is just about over.
