Geezer Butter | Vibepedia

Geezer Butter is a colloquial term that emerged from the chaotic and often shocking stage persona of [[ozzy-osbourne|Ozzy Osbourne]], particularly during his solo career in the early 1980s. It refers to the viscous, often unidentifiable substances that Osbourne would smear on himself, throw at the audience, or otherwise interact with during his live performances, most famously including a live bat and a raw bull's head. This phenomenon, while often dismissed as mere shock value, became a significant element of his [[vibe-rating|Vibe Score]] and contributed to his controversial image as the 'Prince of Darkness,' solidifying his place in [[heavy-metal|heavy metal]] lore and influencing generations of performers seeking to push boundaries. The term itself captures the visceral, slightly repulsive, yet undeniably memorable nature of these incidents.
