November Rock 50 Preview
Posted on Nov.19, 2014 under Rock 50
H! Everyone,
Our Rock 50 Metal show airs on Saturday, November 22. To honour Veteran’s/Armistice Day, 11/11/14, we’ll present a brief remembrance acknowledgment with songs that echo the heartbreak and triumph of past wars.
We’ve got lots of Metal –Exodus, new stuff – all kickass. Our drum segue features Chris Fehn, one of Slipknot’s percussionists. His extraordinary performance live as the character #3, is a must to watch. Equally, his percussion skills, accurate and unique, hinge very nicely onto Slipknot’s musical surface. It’ll be a great segment, including new music from Slipknot.
Check us out if you like Metal and Hard Rock and music, period.
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
