New Interview with Bill
Posted on Nov.09, 2013 under Bill Ward
There is a new interview online with Bill. It comes from Rock Cellar Magazine, and in it, Bill talks about many subjects. Some of them are the “Absence of Corners” art, the Ward One & When the Bough Breaks cover art, vegan cheese, new bands, and also talks about two new solo albums, and the status of his merchandise. Oh, and a little about Black Sabbath too.

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, you’re simply great. I’ve seen the Sabbath show in Amsterdam, without you. Was my first Sabbath show (unfortunately i start listening to Sabbath too late and i had not the opportunity to see the original BLACK SABBATH line up). So please, come together again, please, made it also for the young generations who are still listening to Sabbath after 40 years!!! You are the history, so please keep on making history for us.
Greetings from Italy,
Matt
