Bill Ward talks about "Black Zeppelin"

[jb412]

hi, I'm a writer for Back Page Magazine and we just conducted a sweet interview with Bill Ward.

We sat down with Bill to discuss the infamous/legendary "Black Zeppelin" session...and he revealed some pretty awesome details about that fabled event!

This has been a rumor for decades, as I'm sure you all know, but we got some firsthand reports from Ward himself about Sabbath's studio session with Led Zeppelin...the stuff of legend!

Feel free to share the link around we're pretty excited about the interview.

Looks like a great day but no recording to release but still a nice piece of rock journalism,

I remember reading something about this Zeppelin and Sabbath meeting before. According to the other version (and I don't remember the source so I'm not saying I believe it) Jimmy Page was involved, the session was recorded, but the next morning the tapes had disappeared. Like I said, I don't remember now where I heard that, nor do I necessarily believe it.

Nonetheless, thanks for the interview with Ward. Very interesting.

Great interview. It's good to have this rumor finally straightened out.

My foggy memory seems to recall that Bill talked about this in one of the Sabbath books out there (maybe the first Martin Popoff one) and that this interview doesn't give much new information about it. I don't know, when Bill can't remember what album they were working on at the time it makes me question the other details. Cool interview anyway, thanks for sharing it, always good to hear what Mr. Ward has to say.

I just wanted to add one more thing here, actually a message to Mr. Ward: complete and release the solo album(s) you've been working on for the last decade! Your fans await in eager anticipation!
