My favorite keyboard player in the history of Sabbath.I like- Don Airey,Rick Wakeman,Adam Wakeman,and Jezz Woodruffe as well.It is too bad they didn’t become full time members and had to be on stage behind a curtain.That is no way to treat a band member and co-songwriter.He came up with the bass lines to-“Heaven And Hell”.I am glad to see Tony Martin doesn’t do this with him in his band.Geoff Nichols is one of the best composers ever.
He was in the video to-“The Shining”.He was a full time band member during the era of “Seventh Star”.It should have stayed that way.He deserves all the credit that is due to him.When they were in between bassists,Geoff was there on stage playing in view.He was with Sabbath from 1980 to 2004,right?Somebody correct me if I am incorrect.
