H! Everyone.
The hardcore radio show is this Saturday, February 27th. We’re featuring Judas Priest in our new format “Great Rock and Metal Bands and Artists.” Last month, we featured Cream and some of their greatest work. I thought the new segment worked rather well, and I think it’s important to feature bands that have helped to influence and shape the sounds we listen to today.
Also this Saturday, we’ll be playing more Mnemic and Scar Symmetry. I hope to get some Behemoth, Celtic Frost, Exodus and brand new Zombie lined up also.
OK, so for all you Metal music lovers out there, I think it’ll be a very good show, but you’ll have to take a listen to find out if you agree with me or not.
Stay strong and 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.
--Bill Ward
