Mark Evans-former bass player of the Australian rock band AC/DC-spoke in a recently published interview about past tensions that once ruled between the legendary rock musicians and the metal band Black Sabbath. In the podcast “Let there be talk” confirmed Mark Evans that the late AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young and the Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler got their hair in the mid-1970s on the “Technical Ecstasy Tour”. AC/DC accompanied Black Sabbath at the time as a opening act.
Malcom Young supposedly hit the ground
Evans, who played for AC/DC Bass from 1975 to 1977 and thus contributed to hits like “TNT”, “High Voltage”, “Dirty Deeds Done Cheap” and “Let There be rock”, said in the conversation: “For some reason, Malcolm got into a conflict with Geez’s butler. At some point he hit the ground. ” Which is why the two arguments no longer reminded the musician. As far as he seemed to know, it was about “that someone had a gun or someone a knife.” When AC/DC left the next city the next day, Young is said to have said: “I have to go to the hotel again.”
This is how Butler reminds the dispute
Angus Young also remembered in an interview “Talk is Jericho” Last December to the conflict. He said, “I think they drank one night, and I think geezer had a knife or something, and he pulled it out from Malcolm.” Malcolm Young is said to have relieved the knife to him with the help of a trick. The next day he actually went to the hotel to Black Sabbath to apologize to Butler. But there Malcolm Young Ozzy Osbourne met, who was supposedly annoyed that Butler constantly carried a knife with him.
He should have advised him not to apologize. In one Interview in 2016Butler told his version of history. “We drank a bit together and I only played around with the knife. Then he came over and said: You think you are pretty cool to own a blow knife? ” Then Butler only replied: “What do you talk about?” According to Butler, this was the end of history.
