September Rock 50 Preview
Posted on Sep.19, 2011 under Rock 50
H! Everyone.
Our radio show airs 11:00AM Pacific on Saturday, September 24. We’ll feature a special uninterrupted 10th Anniversary tribute for 9/11 in the second hour of the show. No Hardcore, guys – Pop masterpieces instead, leading off with “New York State of Mind.”
I’ll play about 30 minutes of Hardcore Metal in the first hour and 30 minutes of Classic Metal to take us up to noon. There won’t be a “Classic Rock and Metal Bands” segment this month. In October, we’ll be back with a Hardcore Metal show in time for Halloween.
Join us if you can.
Rock forever,
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.
