We count down the greatest bassists in hard rock and metal history.

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has clarified his comments regarding a new Black Sabbath album, effectively not ruling out the possibility.

In a new interview, Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler says Bill Ward turned down an opportunity to perform at Sabbath's final show.

On November 9, in Los Angeles, Bass Player LIVE! hosted tribute to Geezer Butler that featured an all-star cast of musicians performing Black Sabbath tunes. Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor, guitarist Zakk Wylde, and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante joined Butler for "Fairies Wear Boots"...

The Bass Player Live! Concert & Awards Show honored musicians who too often get overlooked, though there was hardly any introduction needed for the night's top honoree -- Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler. Hartke helped line up some of metal's biggest names on Saturday night (Nov. 9) at Los Angeles' Fonda Theatre to salute the man who helped paved the way for their own careers.

Black Sabbath have been on a massive high this year, releasing the comeback album '13,' which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album charts, while embarking on an insanely anticipated North American tour. Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has performed phenomenally throughout the entire tour, but in a new interview, Butler reveals that the tour will likely be his last.

The long wait for the new Black Sabbath disc ‘13’ is almost over, with the release date just a few days away on June 11. There is a prevailing notion that this will mark the last time Black Sabbath release a new album, but according to a new interview with Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler, another Black Sabbath disc is not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

There's been a lot of anticipation for Device, the new project from Disturbed's David Draiman, over the past year. But now the biggest update yet comes with Draiman confirming an all-star lineup of guest musicians for the album, as well as details on the disc's first single and a tentative release date.

The death of legendary Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord has shaken the rock world through some of its most celebrated musicians. Among those who have tweeted their condolences are Slash, Mike Portnoy, Iron Maiden, Tom Morello and many more. Perhaps the most notable post however, comes from Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler.

Word of the original Black Sabbath lineup reuniting for an album and tour spread quickly Tuesday, and a clarification from guitarist Tony Iommi about the context of his words — and when he said them — came almost as fast that same day.
