H! Everyone,
The radio show will air Saturday, April 30th, 11:00AM Pacific Time. If you like Metal and Hard Rock, then check us out.
Led Zeppelin are featured in our “Great Rock and Metal Bands and Artists” segment – it’ll be GOOD. Also, there will be a brief dedication to honor drummer Joe Morello. The song “Take Five” shows off Joe’s everlasting technique with the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
DevilDriver, Soilwork and Paradise Lost will devastate us. We’ve got lots of other Metal bands and new releases also.
All waiting for you.
Thanks.
–Bill

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE DRUMMER EVER!!!!

Happy Birthday Bill! =0). I just wanted to say to you how much I have LOVED your music since I was 12 years old, and I’m 47 today. Your unique style of drumming set an extremely high standard for me with other drummers that very very few have been able to live up to. I really can’t say how much I think you added to the Sabbath heritage that so many in rock and roll today consider the gospel of the advent of doom rock (or heavy metal). Hugs!!!
