January 2009 Rock 50 Preview
Posted on Jan.20, 2009 under Rock 50
H! Everyone.
Happy New Year.
The radio show is on Saturday, January 24th the first show of ¹09. I want to make it heavy from top to bottom. As you know, we play mostly Hardcore Metal from Celtic Frost to Gwar, and Metallica to Opeth. I¹m going to change the format slightly for the January and February shows. I¹m adding in some Classic Metal and Hard Rock. Check us out. If you have comments about the new format, please contact me at bward@billward.com. I would appreciate your feedback.
January¹s show will include Metallica, Slipknot, Dimmu Borgir, Dew Scented, Led Zeppelin, and many more great bands.
Stay strong,
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
