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

I know that all sabs fans out there will be so excited about the rare out takes on the new 3 disc cd.Plus 1974’quadraphonic mix’ and EIGHT previously unreleased instrumentals and alternative versions.
It’s pure Sabbath Heaven for many of us who always knew that the stuff was out there,but we could not get hold of it.
I’ve heard over the years Tony has cupboards full of unreleased stuff,I just hope he does’nt sit on them,release the stuff before I go to old and deaf to appreciate it.Many die hards would just love to hear the old stuff,and when I say old I mean the 80’s as well as the 70s .
Can’t wait for the cd,another piece of classic music history unveiled.
Guys thanks for the last 40 years,hope you’ll be around for another 40 years because the music buisness needs you!!!
Just another country girl
