This past Saturday was the most recent episode of “Rock 50″ with Bill Ward. Rock 50 is a show on college radio station WPMD in Cerritos, CA. Once a month, Bill comes in and is the DJ, picks the tunes, and occasionally dispenses some nuggets from his past. Most of the tunes he plays are… [Continue Reading]
Generally, I don’t go off on stupid things people say, but sometimes it just irritates the heck out of me. Take this for example. About half an hour ago or so, I posted the story about Sabbath playing a lone gig in the US in August. Given the state of Tony Iommi’s health, one would… [Continue Reading]
The “will he or won’t he” saga with Bill Ward carries on. Tony Iommi’s cancer treatments carry on.. Yet the business of Black Sabbath doesn’t. Word popped up today that Black Sabbath might be playing a lone date in the US in August. Where? Who knows? Who’s on drums? Who knows? But a… [Continue Reading]
Well, today’s been an interesting day. Earlier this morning, we got another statement from Bill Ward about his drumming situation with Black Sabbath. Which appeared to be good news, that they’re still talking.

Today, the XM Satellite radio re-branded their “Boneyard” metal channel to be called “Ozzy’s Boneyard“. As part of the initial launch, there was an interview with Ozzy where he talks about the Black Sabbath reunion now, as well as Tony Iommi’s cancer. While I was unable to listen due to a personal comittment, a friend was… [Continue Reading]
A week or so ago when Bill Ward dropped that bombshell online about his contract situation and the Black Sabbath reunion, I was privy to it about 5 minutes before it was put online. As you probably remember, I handle Bill’s website, and his manager sent me that, asked me to put it on his… [Continue Reading]
Bill Ward just posted a short followup on his site to the how shall we say, fracas online of the last two days or so. Here’s what he said. Dear Sabbath Fans, This is Bill. I just wanted to humbly thank you all. Your support from across the world has given me further strength… [Continue Reading]
While I was out running errands today, the server tanked again. I should have guessed something happened, because the other Sabs (Ozzy, Tony, & Geezer) issued a statement today on the official Black Sabbath Website. It said: We were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath… [Continue Reading]
