A lot of his tales of his time with Black Sabbath I had read about in Iommi's book Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath, but it was great to hear these stories from a different perspective, and there were also a lot of things that an had not heard about before! Ozzy enters the story in a chaotic manner but becomes a great asset who makes you laugh at almost everything he does. As a massive Sabbath fan, and a massive Villa fan, I grew up in the same area of Birmingham as the band, and the references to places and times i know bought back so many memories. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. Touching the Void is the heart-stopping account of Joe Simpson's terrifying adventure in the Peruvian Andes.He therefore had to save himself but he found it impossible to climb up to the entrance of the crevasse, because of the overhanging ice and his broken leg. Getting to hear Geezer’s story first hand of how Sabbath came to be, their journey through constant criticism to their eventual global success, was a great read for any metal music lover! You might ask yourself, but I’ve already read Ozzy and Iommi’s books, why do I need yet another tome to the metal progenitors’ life and times? I guess even if you haven't seen or read, you will at least know the outline of the story: Two men climbing a remote mountain, one falls, injures himself badly, other man must decide whether to risk his own life to help him or leave him to his outcome; then once he has decided to assist, it goes even more wrong and the rescuer must decide whether to cut the rope (sending the injured man to almost certain death) and prevent himself from being dragged down the mountain.

There are very few words to articulate to the feelings in which one human can relate to this scenario. From there, Simpson spent three days without food and with almost no water, crawling and hopping five miles (8 km) back to their base camp.They were tired of their climbs in the Alps with all the traffic and thought a secluded climb in a beautiful setting would be a welcome change.

Getting to learn the history of how he learned to play was amazing, starting as a guitarist learning with strings on a broom to switching to bass and bands before he found the one he fit into. Geezer explains how each bump came and went as he progressed from a boy with a dream to a superstar of rock 'n' roll. They began descending via the peak's North Ridge which the pair found unexpectedly challenging with Yates falling through a cornice down the face they had just climbed but he was held by the rope which prevented him falling 4500 ft to his death. Some ink work is also lovely, though we don’t recommend it for super juicy inks as the paper is not treated for wet media). Simon tahu pasti cepat atau lambat ia tak akan kuat menahan beban tubuh Joe yang tergantung dibibir jurang.The thing is, it seems impossible that either one, especially the author, could survive what happened to them. The wildly hysterical and often irreverent tales he spins have left me chortling into my sleeves - I'll confess I am amongst those guilty of such responses. I liked all of the background info on how Geezer cam up with the lyrics of songs on their early albums and how the band came together.

Therefore, his only choice was to abseil deeper into the crevasse and hope that there was another way out. After there popularity had skyrocketed and they got record deal after record deal they toured America in 1975. On the one hand I felt infuriated with these 2 men for taking such huge risks, but their story is unbelievably riveting and well told and I appreciated the honesty with which it was told as well. How Simpson survived his fall into the abyss, freed himself from the crevasse, and dragged himself over miles of glacier and moraine back to camp, just as Yates was preparing to leave, has become a story of almost mythic proportions.He named the group, provided the bass behind their distinctive sound and wrote the lyrics that resonated so powerfully with fans around the world. Butler has a lot of ground to cover in his memoir and he hits the highlights and chooses short, fascinating stories to emphasize events and to color situations. As the primary lyricist for Black Sabbath it isn’t too surprising that Geezer was able to put together a well crafted autobiography.
