January Rock 50 Preview
Posted on Jan.25, 2010 under Rock 50
H! Everyone.
Happy 2010.
Our first radio show of the year will have a new format included. Instead of the “show within a show,” which played classic/hardcore metal, we¹ll be playing a featured artist or band. This new segment takes place after the noon break, as did the “show within a show.” We’ll be playing artists from the 60¹s through to today. Please let us know if you like the new segment. Featured band this month is Cream. Also appearing on the show: Arch Enemy, Skeletonwitch, Type O Negative and Slipknot.
The show airs 11:00AM Pacific Time, Saturday, January 30th. I hope you can join us.

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
