Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath Calls The Beatles “a Massive Influence”
The Beatles aren’t a controversial topic amongst hard rock music fans, right? That never goes wrong when we bring that up. Nobody thinks the Beatles were overrated. Nobody is going to bring up that John Lennon was a wife beater. That’s definitely not all going to happen in the comments section, I’m sure of it. Anyway, apparently the Beatles were a massive influence on Black Sabbath bassist Geezer butler.
In a recent interview with Michigan rock station WRKR (that was transcribed by Blabbermouth) Butler explained how the Beatles were a major influence on him:
That makes sense. No mater how overrated you think The Beatles are, they caused such a monumental shift in music that it’s hard to find a band that can’t claim a direct or indirect Beatles influence. Even The Clash who sang “No Elvis, Beatles, and The Rolling Stones” can’t pretend The Beatles didn’t affect them. The Beatles obviously touched everyone.
