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.

H! Everyone,

The Halloween show airs Saturday, October 30. I’ve put a little bit of Halloween in the show with some of the songs. There’s an almost “Best of Metal” kicking ass in the first hour, and we have an eerie segue with Celtic Frost, Behemoth, and Arch Enemy in the second hour. “Sympathy for the Devil” wears its crown, and the Murder Dolls and The Used give their all.

If you like Metal and Halloween, then check us out – hell awaits you.

Stay safe,
Bill Ward

Bill has recently completed filming his appearance on the VH1 Classic show, “That Metal Show”, hosted by Eddie Trunk.

Bill’s episode will air on November 20th, 2010 at 11PM Eastern Time here in the US.

Also appearing on that episode will be Danzig, as well as Richie Kotzen. Bill will have a lot to say, and when we have a more specific content preview, we’ll bring it to you. But we wanted to alert you to the airdate of Bill’s episode as soon as we knew it!

H! Everyone,

Our Rock 50 hardcore radio show airs on 9/11/10. In keeping with the day, we will dedicate the second hour of the show to 9/11, with such artists at The Who, Elbow, Annie Lennox, Pavarotti, Pink Floyd and many more.

Our first hour will be all hardcore metal which is the norm for our show. We’ll be playing new stuff, as well as Mastodon, In Flames and Slayer.

We will NOT feature our segment “Great Hard Rock and Metal Bands and Artists” this month. Also, because of the way we program our Halloween, Armistice and Christmas shows, I may suspend the “Great Hard Rock and Metal Bands and Artists” segment until January 2011.

OK. That¹s it for now. Check us out.

Stay strong. Stay safe.

H! Everyone,

Our radio show for August is set to go Saturday, August 21st. Our segment “Great Hard Rock and Metal Bands” will feature Metallica – current and classic songs. Also, we’re playing Celtic Frost, Exodus, Nile, Rob Zombie, Mnemic, and Ozzy’s “Latimer’s Mercy.” Check us out. If your musical taste is Metal, then the Rock 50 hardcore show will be a good choice.

Stay strong,
Bill

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

To celebrate the launch of Bill’s new Twitter feed and his new Facebook fan page, we’ve decided to give away some autographed copies of Bill’s 1997 album, “When the Bough Breaks”.  This is a pretty simple contest, all you have to do is either be following Bill on Twitter, or have “liked” his Facebook page.

We will pick five random folks from each service, and they will win the autographed CD.   We will contact you on those services for details afterwards.   Additionally, Bill will personalize the autographs to you, so it won’t be just him signing his name.

To make sure you’re eligible, sign up for these services and like/follow Bill.   If you want to double your chances, hook up with both of them!  Please note you can’t win on both services, so if for some reason you’d get randomly picked on both, you’d only win one.  🙂   The contest will run for one week, and will close next week June 18th.

Here are the details in case you need them:
