This morning, a mere hours before the O2 gig, Geezer Butler posted something on his own site entitled “Heavy Heart“. It’s his thoughts on Black Sabbath, the O2 gig, Bill Ward, Tommy Clufetos, & charity concerts. You don’t want to read me talking about it, I’ll get straight to the statement:
Black Sabbath Responds to Ward – Sorta
May 17, 2012 by 41 Comments
Black Sabbath issued a non-response late on Thursday night to Bill Ward’s statement from the other day. It reads: We have decided not to make any detailed comment on Bill’s latest statement. There are two sides to every story. We have been working hard at rehearsals making excellent progress after Tony’s treatments and we […]
Bill Ward is out of 2012 Live Shows
May 15, 2012 by 104 Comments
Bill Ward just issued a lengthy statement on his situation with Black Sabbath. The short of it is that he’s not playing the three announced live dates. No mention was made about the new album, but if he’s not playing any of the live dates, I can’t imagine he’s working with them on the […]

Happy Birthday to the founding (and hopefully still future) drummer in Black Sabbath.
Children Killing Children
May 4, 2012 by 9 Comments
Wanted to point out a criminally under appreciated song in the Black Sabbath family. It’s the song “Children Killing Children” from Bill Ward’s 1997 solo album, “When the Bough Breaks“. The album was quite good when new, and has held up well, I think. As today is Bill’s birthday, I thought I’d throw something […]
A Non Update Update
March 22, 2012 by 10 Comments
I’ve seen a lot of posts and messages asking for some sort of update on Tony Iommi. Some of them beliggerant – that he “owes” Sabbath fans an update. Bah. I wanted to post this in response to all of that. There is no update. If you know anyone who has ever gone through […]
Bill Ward’s Tribute to Tony Iommi
February 27, 2012 by 33 Comments
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 […]
A Message from Bill Ward
February 17, 2012 by 19 Comments
Bill posted another update today over on his site regarding his contract situation with Black Sabbath. I’ll get right to the point – here’s what he had to say. In case the server is down when you go to look at it, here’s the text. I particularly like the bit where he calls out the […]
Thoughts about Current Events [ UPDATED 2 ]
February 8, 2012 by 62 Comments
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 […]

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 […]
