May Rock 50 Episode Preview
Posted on May.16, 2011 under Rock 50
H! Everyone.
The radio show airs on May 21, 2011, 11:00 AM Pacific Time. Because it’s my birthday month, I’m going to play some of my personal favorite songs of all time. I’ve been around for a while now, so be prepared to hear “really old stuff” and really new stuff.
If you like Hardcore Metal, Classic Rock & Metal, the Blues and songs that can lift the heart, check out the birthday show.
P.S. I may be in England at the time of the show. Mike will host in my absence.
That’s it. Stay strong. Stay safe.
–Bill Ward
P.P.S. Our “Great Rock and Metal Bands and Artists” will not be included in the May show. We’ll resume this segment in June, and the band we’re featuring is Rage Against the Machine.

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.
