Christmas Rock 50 Preview
Posted on Dec.08, 2016 under Rock 50
H! Everyone,
Our Rock 50 Christmas show will air on 12/10/16, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Pacific Time. The Christmas show at Rock 50 respectfully highlights songs that are heartfelt, and we recognize that the holidays can be stressful and depressing for many. It’s not a “ho ho ho” show. We’ll play mostly softer rock songs with a Metal segue. Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Type O Negative, Yes, U2 and more great bands. For this show, it’s melancholy, sad, uplifting, and I hope you’ll hear something you like.
We start back in January 2017 with our Metal shows.
Stay safe stay strong. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
Rock forever and ever,
Bill

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
