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.

Hi Bill,
When you get a chance please provide an update for us all on the status of Beyond Aston. After first hearing the “The Dark Half Hour” awhile back I must admit I’ve been waiting with much anticipation to hear the entire effort.
P.S. Any chance Tony might play some guest guitar on one of your albums someday?

Hey Bill ward.
You are THE best drummer of all time and you got a voice on ya to. Worst thing when you left Sabbath, you have influenced me so much as a drummer. I can’t wait to get ahold of “When the Bough Breaks”. keep on rocking the drums and making music, your an inspiration.
