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

Bill I’m glad your still making tunes. You are hands down one of the greatest drummers of all time and to me there’s only one Black Sabbath and that’s the original. I heard you say the coolest thing and it made me feel real good man. I heard you say you consider Sabbath the first PUNK band and I think that’s so coool. I play guitar and frankly I’m awful. I listen to a lot of punk, blues, and country and metal heads always give me crap for listening to punk. So its nice to be able to shove that in their face. I consider Tony a jazz savant or something. The similarities between his style and Djangos is incredibly unique. Anyway your the man! Keep on making music brother!
