Bev Bevan
The world revolves around him and it is difficult to discover where he is going or what scene he is on. Bascically a warm nature, quiet and reserved. The James Dean of the present pop cult, this is more an assumed attitude than a state of mind.

If sabbath cant have bill ward bev bevan would be an awesome replacement if he was available. He was phenominal during the sabbath born again tour.
I suggested that exact move myself when I found out Bill wasn’t going to be there. Apparently Bev said in an interview around the time that he would be unable to put up with that kind of drumming for any length of time. He basically bowed out due to his age.
hell yea, bev is the man! but if cozy was still around….. ;)
I wonder if they called him Beverly once in while just to flip him some shi*?
