Rock 50 – November Armistice Show Preview
Posted on Nov.11, 2010 under Rock 50
Hi Everyone!
Our next radio show will air November 20, 2010, and as usual, we’ll be dedicating the show to Veterans Day/Remembrance Day (Nov 11th).
In the first hour of the show, we’ll have some great Metal bands, including Anthrax, Soilwork and Ministry. We change out the Metal format in the second hour of the show, as we’ll be playing Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and Billy Joel’s pinnacle song “Goodnight Saigon.”
We dedicate the show to those who fell, to all the millions who have suffered from war, and to those who serve and protect.
At 11:00 AM, November 11, 1918, the big guns of World War I ceased firing, and a fragile peace was sought. The Armistice show will illuminate through the songs played, passion, experience, and thoughts and feelings towards the dire consequences of the most destructive act of mankind – total war.

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
