H! Everyone,

Our Rock 50 show airs on November 21st, 2015.  In keeping with November 11th, Veterans and Armistice Day, our show will be in two parts, starting at 11 AM Pacific, the first hour will be Metal wall to wall.  Our second hour, around noon time, will be songs to honor the fallen of all wars since 1914 and the Armistice of November 11th, 1918.  We say thank you to the men and women who have served and survived.   We will remember the homeland suffering, as well as the bitter loss that war is.  We hope to bring an honorable and reflective mood to our last hour, and if you like hard-core Metal we’ll pound you in our first hour.  No drum segue this month or on our Christmas show.  Drum segues come back on our January 2016 show.

Stay safe.  Stay strong.

On the Halloween episode of Rock 50, Bill paid tribute to several of his favorite drummers (Charlie Benante, Lars Ulrich, Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan and Johnny Kelly).  If you were unable to listen live, you should check out this video, which includes a playback of the segment!

Additionally, the full playlist from the show is available to download from the Rock 50 page here on this site.

H! Everyone,

Our radio show airs on Halloween, October 31^st, 11 AM to 1 PM Pacific.  It’ll rock from start to finish.  All our favorite Halloween bands.

Our drum segue will feature a “Best of” since January 2015. I’ll feature Dave Lombardo, Charlie Benante, Gene Hoglan, Johnny Kelly and Lars Ulrich – all heavy hitters.  If you like hard-core music and music period, our Halloween show will, I hope, satisfy your musical taste.

Stay safe, have fun and keep our kids safe this Halloween.

H! Everybody,

Our radio show airs on Saturday, September 12, 2015.  We’ll be playing great metal and new metal releases.  Our drum segue will feature Ian Paice of Deep Purple fame, a great and innovative rock drummer.

We’ll also be making a special dedication for those who died and those who still mourn and feel the effects of the devastating terrorist attacks on 9/11 2001.  We’ll play some Beatles, Foo Fighters, Cream and Jimi Hendrix as a way of paying our respects.  Although a solemn occasion, the show will rock.  Check us out if you can.

Stay safe and rock forever and ever,

Bill

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

H! Everyone,

The show will rock.  Our drum segue features a brilliant drummer from a great band – Stewart Copeland with The Police.  We’ll take a listen to his unique approach to rock drumming.  If you like Hard Rock, Rock, Metal or just plain good music, check out our show.

Stay very safe,

Bill Ward

H! Everybody,

Our radio show airs on Saturday, June 13, 2015. We’ll be making a dedication for BB King.  With his passing in May, we lost a giant in the Blues.  In our drum segue, we’ll be featuring Mike Bordin, a great drummer with Faith No More, and further a drummer with Ozzy.  If you like Rock/Metal, check us out.  If you like opera, we might play that too.

Stay extra safe,

Bill Ward

H! Everyone,

Our radio show airs on Saturday, May 2, 2015.  It’ s my birthday show, which means I’m playing all my favorite metal bands. That means Slipknot, Type O Negative, anything with Gene Hoglan; playing Philm featuring Dave Lombardo.  The show will be jammed with good stuff, and because it’s my birthday on May 5^th, for the first time, the drum segue will feature me playing drums.  Live Sabbath, and some my favorite Sabbath.  It’ll be cool.

If you like Metal, Hard Rock, or just good music, period, I hope you can check us out.

Stay safe and extra strong.
