August Rock 50 Preview
Posted on Aug.09, 2016 under Rock 50
H! Everyone,
Our next Rock 50 radio show airs Saturday, August 13th, 2016 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. In keeping with the Rock 50 July summer show theme, we’ll play one hour of Metal and Hard Rock dedicated to the fans at the summer Rock shows and the bands out there touring.
In the final hour of our show, equally dedicated to lovers of great music, we’ll play classic, everlasting songs that have prevailed through the best and worst of times: Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, bands that got us through the Sixties and beyond, who are still relevant today.
Check us out. The show will kick ass.
Stay safe. Stay strong forever and ever.

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
