EXCLUSIVE: A cornerstone of the very foundation of Heavy Metal, Geezer Butler's contribution to music cannot be overstated. With an unmistakable rumble that underpinned Black Sabbath's doomy dirge, the man born Terence Butler was also the band's key lyricist, penning countless classics, from 'War Pigs', to 'Paranoid', to 'Children of the Grave' and beyond. Away from the Brummie legends however, Geezer has made three albums with nephew Pedro Howse - now reissued under his own name. We caught up with the hand of doom for a chat about all things GZR, working with Ozzy Osbourne's solo band, and the final years of Black Sabbath. Nativity in black; Eamon O'Neill.

Snowy White has been described as; "the classic blues-oriented British electric guitar player”, and it's a mantle that fits him very well, as evidenced on latest album 'Something on Me". Beginning his career in the late '60s, the guitarist has been a member of Pink Floyd's extended touring line-up, Thin Lizzy, as well as a collaborator with Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green. We sat down with Snowy for a chat about the new album, touring 'The Wall' with Floyd and Roger Waters, and his tenure with Ireland's greatest rock band. Renegade; Eamon O’Neill.
