Rock 50 April Preview
Posted on Apr.18, 2014 under Rock 50
H! Everyone,
Our Rock 50 show featuring hard rock and very heavy metal will air this Saturday, April 19th.
For our focus on drummers/percussionists segment, this month we’ll focus on Johnny Kelly. Johnny has played in a number of bands, the most well known would probably be Type O Negative. Recently Johnny joined “Kill Devil Hill,” and I had an opportunity to see him play and meet with him. I’ll talk more about our get together on the show.
Also we’ll be playing some of the greatest metal bands on earth. Check us out if you like metal and great drummers.
Stay safe, stay strong.

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
