The Betrayal That Shook Rock: Geezer Butler Exposes Roger Waters’ Sabotage
In a revelation that has left the music world reeling, Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler has broken a decades-long silence to accuse Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters of deliberately betraying a secret alliance formed in the 1970s to protect rock musicians from record label exploitation.
According to Butler, Waters infiltrated a coalition of bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Uriah Heep—posing as an ally—only to leak confidential strategies to record executives. These leaks helped Waters secure major deals for Pink Floyd while undermining heavy metal’s credibility in the press and industry.
Butler has presented evidence ranging from signed agreements and secret recordings to financial documents and witness testimonies. The allegations have prompted outrage from rock legends and journalists alike, sparking a widespread re-evaluation of Waters’ role in rock history.
This betrayal, Butler claims, wasn’t just personal—it was cultural warfare. Waters allegedly manipulated narratives to position progressive rock as intellectually superior while marginalizing heavy metal for decades.
The music world now faces a reckoning. Artists once silenced are speaking out, and the heavy metal legacy is being reclaimed. As Geezer Butler concluded, “For 50 years, we were denied our rightful place. That ends now.”
