Absence of Corners
Posted on Aug.17, 2015 under Rock 50
A message for all those nice people who attended the Sunday show at Fathom Gallery in LA. I know I met quite a few of you, but I am saddened and have to say I’m sorry I didn’t meet all of you. Normally, I like to shake hands with everyone who attends. On Sunday, this handshake and hugs ritual didn’t fully transpire, and I regret that. I hope all of you had a good time, and I appreciate that you came to visit the art pieces and participate in the emotions that flowed between us. For those of you I didn’t say goodbye to, I’ll say it now – goodbye my friends, I wish you happiness and positive energy in your lives. Stay safe and strong. To my longtime friends who I also didn’t get to meet, I love you. And to all, perhaps we’ll meet again. Be good to yourselves.
Rock forever,
Bill Ward

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
