H! Everyone,
-
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

Hi Bill,
I’m a Brazilian drummer and I think what Sabbath without you is not Sabbath. Simply. I grow up listen you and I will be your fan forever.
Stay alive, Stay strong.

i give you no support ,you are letting everyone down. i must remind you as a B.S. fan ,if it wasn’t for use you would be nobody .i don’t see your executes is good ,and with all the money you made over your lifetime ,by use the fans you should be making this album for free no bloody contract .i think all that money has gone to your head and you call yourself a musician.i’m sure however the band picks to take your place will do the job better then you .loser

Show was great as usual, being in a different format other than the usual WMP link, I did experience quite a few audio drops, and even an Adobe Flash player Crash, not sure if it was just my machine or what but I hope that gets cleared up, Love the oldies , blues or rock it’s great to hear the stuff that influenced you back in those days. personally I prefer it over the “scream metal” but as a musician we all love and live the music.
since the latest outcome with the Sabs has seemed to fade the hopes I am still hoping you are working on and or releasing your new stuff. Rock’n’Shine Bill.. Love you !
