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.

Long ago in a place called Lake Hellsummore Calif… You and Linda made an incredible impact in my life… As well as your son Aron, I can still remember us all dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller Album in our livingroom at Christmas time. As well I still have the picture of this on my wall in my room… As for my mother “Tappy” She sends her love and regards.. So Bill… How the hell is life treating yah? If you can remember this little girl named Vikki that calls you Unkle Bill, know that I am out here in the world with 3 boys of my own, and a new husband, and we think and speak of you often… If you haven’t forgotten, know that I would love to hear your voice. “Peace” Tory
