If he had his way, exiled Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward says he'd be back behind the kit for the band when they record what's being billed as their last album and head out on their allegedly final tour.
Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi has come up with a number of truly majestic metal riffs over the years, but it appears that in at least one case, someone else might have gotten there first.
As anyone who's ever closely listened to Black Sabbath's music knows, there's a wide disconnect between the band's "evil" image and the actual lyrical content of most of their songs.
For all the public squabbling between Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward over the past few years, the former Black Sabbath drummer maintains that he holds no grudges toward anybody.
Whatever the final outcome of Bill Ward's sad public feud with his Black Sabbath bandmates, the veteran drummer definitely isn't wasting his time away from the group.
