Bill Ward not participating in Heaven & Hell
Bill Ward today announced that he will not be recording new tracks for the "Black Sabbath: The Dio Years" CD or playing drums on the "Heaven & Hell" tour.
"I realize there has been some speculation as to whether or not I am participating in the Heaven & Hell project," said Ward. "I want to confirm that I will not be involved in either the recordings for the upcoming CD or the subsequent tour. I want to wish the guys Tony, Geezer, Ronnie, and Vinny - much success for the coming year."
No further statements are available at this time.

Bill speaks on November Rock 50 Show
Hi! Everybody. It's Bill.
The hardcore show for November falls on 11/11, Armistice Day/Veterans Day this year. The host of Rock 50, Mike Stark will be running this show. I'll be back in December for the Christmas Show, December 16th.
The 11/11 show will be a Best of Hardcore '06 and some '05. All the Greatest of the Great: Slipknot, In Flames, Lamb of God, Dimmu, Strapping Young Lad, Shadows Fall, Arch Enemy, The Haunted, Exodus, Ministry. It's endless, and it'll rock from top to bottom. However, one exception; there will be a tribute to those in harm's way, a reminder of those lost but not forgotten, in fitting with 11/11. Tracks in the tribute so far, Gung Ho/Anthrax and Recruit/Waterdown; possibly Pavarotti, I don't know yet.
Hey, Stay Strong. "And if it's in the dark, put it in the light." © Bill Ward.

From Joe Siegler, Bill's Web guy.. "Additionally, the song lists have been posted for the October shows. Please visit the Rock 50 page for a listing of all of them."
