New Site Online
Posted on Feb.20, 1999 under About the site
As you can see, the new look for Bill’s site is now online. Bill’s site has been online for some time now without an upgrade, and we felt it was high time for one. 🙂
Let us know what you think of the new look!
The picture shown here was taken from the article Bill was interviewed for in Modern Drummer magazine. This magazine is on the stands now!
Bill’s article is entitled “Bill Ward: From Iron Man to Gentle Giant”. Scroll down for a snapshot of the magazine cover.

Hi Everybody.
It’s Bill here. First off, I want to thank you all for the support you’ve given me throughout the years. I love to play– whether it’s playing drums in Black Sabbath, making music with my own band or working with other musicians, period. Being able to do what I love for my whole life, pretty much, has been an honour and privilege.
When I started playing in Sabbath, there was an energy of truth about us. We believed in what we were saying, the music we were making and the lives we were living. As time has moved on, I’ve nurtured and tried to save a lot of what I learnt playing in Sabbath. During the more recent years at the Ozzfest concerts, I’ve found myself immersed in the musical rewards of playing in such a unique and devastatingly, powerfully effective Metal band. Sabbath have been, and are, my greatest teachers, and I am forever grateful for the musical journey so far.
Today, I love what’s happening in music. I’ve been given the rare opportunity to play bands I like – Classic and newer Metal – on our Rock 50 radio show. These bands energize me.
I am humbled to know many of you. Music lives and brings and maintains life. Music has always brought me through.
Stay strong, safe and live. Enjoy the site.
Long Live Metal.
--Bill Ward
