Hi! Everyone.
Here’s an amendment to the radio announcement of 7/21/10 in which I stated Celtic Frost and Exodus would be played on the show. I couldn’t fit them in for this Saturday – I will play them in August for sure.
Rock forever,
Bill

May Rock 50 Preview
by Joe on May.20, 2010, under Rock 50
Hi Everyone,
Because of the recent news of Ronnie James Dio’s death, our normal radio show format will be somewhat limited this month. I intend to start the show with a presentation of some of the great songs Ronnie sang on. We will honour what he brought to hard rock and metal music as a vocalist, songwriter and performer.
This month’s show was already dedicated in the second hour to Type O Negative and the recent loss of Peter Steele. We will play Type O’s music as planned.
Thanks,
Bill Ward

Radio Show March 2010
by Joe on Mar.22, 2010, under Rock 50
Dear Friends,
The radio show airs on Saturday, March 27th this month. Bands you can expect to hear will be Dew Scented, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Old Man’s Child and newly released bands. In our series titled “Great Rock and Metal Bands and Artists,” this month’s featured band will be Traffic. Primarily a Midlands-based band in England, UK, Traffic represented a completely original and outspoken musical message to listeners throughout the world. Dynamic and everlasting, Traffic have come before us, played, and have attached their influence to rock’s finest moments.
Check us out. I think it’ll be a very good show.

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
January Rock 50 Preview
by Joe on Jan.25, 2010, under Rock 50
H! Everyone.
Happy 2010.
Our first radio show of the year will have a new format included. Instead of the “show within a show,” which played classic/hardcore metal, we¹ll be playing a featured artist or band. This new segment takes place after the noon break, as did the “show within a show.” We’ll be playing artists from the 60¹s through to today. Please let us know if you like the new segment. Featured band this month is Cream. Also appearing on the show: Arch Enemy, Skeletonwitch, Type O Negative and Slipknot.
The show airs 11:00AM Pacific Time, Saturday, January 30th. I hope you can join us.
