Black Sabbath was named after the 1930's Boris Karlof movie. In 1979 Butler left the Black Sabbath for a short while, because the band seemed to be falling apart. He rejoined them shortly afterwards, when Ronnie James Dio had already joined the band , too. Ronnie James Dio left Black Sabbath in 1982 and after that Black Sabbath line-ups came and go all through the 1980s. However, Ronnie rejoined Black Sabbath in early 1991. Geezer Butler had got together with Black Sabbath and Tony Iommi a little bit before he appeared on stage with Dio in 1990. After Ronnie James Dio left Black Sabbath again, Butler continued in Black Sabbath with Tony Iommi. However, he quit them in the fall of 1994, saying that the band didn't deserve the name 'Black Sabbath' any more. He joined with Ozzy Osbourne in February 1995. In early Summer, 1995, he was also doing some kind of solo project with a band called G//Z/R. Apart from that he has released one other solo album.
