Geezer Butler posted this very short, but very meaty line over on the journal page of his website Monday night.

Back in early 2007, I conducted a quick interview with Lynn Curlee. Lynn is the artist behind one of the more famous pieces of art in Black Sabbath lore. That being “Smoking Angels”, that is the cover of the 1980 album, “Heaven & Hell”. It was also used extensively for the 2007 tour behind “The […]

Where I’ve been
