here we go shirtless bill ward hey bill did you watch any of the footage from
sabbath's last
show event the lineups are really good all i heard was it was f***ing
incredible that's all
i heard and it was a bunch of of like the most hardcore sabbaths fans ever
losing their minds
crying and all of that's like crying was totally acceptable because i just that's
all i saw was
people crying which is f***ing great though that people got to say goodbye and
like really how much
people love sabbath what they meant to so many musicians and and then also how
much everybody
f***ing loves aussie you know and watching him you know where he is right now
in his life it's
it's sad but god knows you know nobody had more fun than that guy um all right
the lineups were really
good and i think they did a great job of honoring the band the highlight for me
was seeing a 76 year
old shirtless bill ward sludge his way through 50 year old songs i don't hear
you talk about sabbath too
much but assuming you're a fan were you into aussie solo stuff during your hairband
heyday uh yeah i
gotta be honest with you i was afraid of that s*** like i was more like uh it
took me a minute like
aussie was a f***ing was he was in a crazy period
like i don't know because that was back then where like you know i was young i
was like 12 or 13 when
that s*** came out and it was kind of like wait are these guys really into the
devil am i gonna listen
to this f***ing album and something bad it was part of the the the thrill of
listening to it it's all
ridiculous now but like there was a lot of uh you know parents were disturbed
by it and that bark at
the moon cover it's kind of funny to look at now but it was disturbing back in
the day i was uh when i
finally got into aussie it was actually the ultimate sin album and then i went
backward and then i got into
uh bark at the moon and all of that's the randy road stuff um what did he play
on that one i know he made
like i always get confused with that i was more like acdc but i did love aussie
and i did love sabbath but for whatever
reason the the bigger kids in my neighborhood were more into like acdc and van
halen so i discovered
a lot of uh black sabbath and aussie stuff through jim norton and jim florentine
the two jersey gyms
they oh bro like jim florentine electric funeral i mean your kid made it it's
it's unbelievable
sounds like all right so they used to tell me about that and then i got like uh
a number of times i've
gotten really into randy roads and then i go on youtube and i try to like play
along to songs and
it's just like the stretching i have to do between the index and pinky finger i
get really frustrated
and i immediately go back to malcolm young you know
three chord riffs but um i am i don't know i am a a huge fan of all of that but
like as far as
like them being my go-to and always listening to them i i for some reason i
just never did but then
when i go back and listen to it i'm like this is unreal it's unreal music and i
but i just don't i
don't know why i always end up going back i was like ac dc aerosmith stevie ray
vaughn that was sort of like
music that i listened to and it never left me and then i got into zeppelin and
then i got into bonham
and that was it me just to make it to van halen and ac dc and that was just the
kids i was at school
you know with and i feel like sabbath and aussie was for like the really like
hardcore
burnout kids with the fucking jean jackets and they were doing drugs by like
sixth or seventh grade so
i think like that whole world aussie got and sabbath got lumped into all of
that and i just knew that
those kids were going down a road i didn't want to go down and i was more like
into sports so i think
after getting into van halen and ac dc and all that instead of making a left
into aussie and sabbath
i went right into like you know motley crew guns and roses cinderella tesla i
was doing that and um
i even missed out on metallica and slayer and all of that which i now love but
like i missed out on a
lot of uh i was more uh a sports person growing up so that's why i can talk in
depth about like
like anything 80s sports related um because that was mainly what i was doing so
yeah i didn't uh
i'm not gonna sit here now that they just retired and act like i was i mean i
know how important they
are and i know how amazing they are but like those formative years so you
always go back to that music
they were not on my playlist until like i said when i met florentine and jim norton
they're the ones that
got me into it there was one album that norton told me to get and it actually
scared me when i listened
to it that one where aussie's going to hell and he's going oh no god please
help me it was just like
what is this something oh my god it was just like what the all the years of
going to church
and the priest tried to scare me about living being on the straight and narrow
what they should
have done instead of given a homily is play whatever that song was because that
song really freaked me
out um but i will tell you over the years one of my favorite sabbath
performance i believe that they
are in paris or something like that speaking of bill ward um and they're
playing live and they sound
unbelievable and bill ward is absolutely beating the out of his drum kit he's
just beating the out of it
he's not even playing the drums it was like he was trying to break or destroy
the kit
it's one of the hardest i've ever seen anybody go um but anyway i'm happy for
all the sabbath fans
that got to watch that and send them off the right way
