January 20th Radio Show Preview
Posted on Jan.18, 2007 under Rock 50
H! Everybody. It’s Bill.
Just checking in with you to announce some details of the radio show (New Year show) for this Saturday, January 20th.
I don’t know yet, if I’ll be at the show, however, Mike Stark and Liese will be there to make sure you get the best of today’s metal hardcore music and more. We’re featuring some new cuts, including new Deftones. We’ll be continuing to play recently new Strapping Young Lad and Lamb of God cuts also – both great albums.
The biggest feature will be an entire segment devoted to Type O Negative. They’re here in Southern California and playing live at the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA on January 21st and 22nd. I’ve selected the most played Type O music on our radio show from over the years. I hope you’ll enjoy what I’ve chosen.
We’ll also step out of our normal format to play a James Brown song and send our condolences to his family.
OK – I have to leave. Check us out. It’s a good show if you enjoy kick ass metal.

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
