Legendary Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward is interviewed in the new issue of Classic Rock, in which he reflects on his eventful life, and looks back at his early days with the band.
"It was us against the world,” says Ward. “The camaraderie was amazing. We were always fucking around and cracking jokes and at each other’s expenses, but we respected each other’s abilities and the friendships we had. We were all from the same place, same background; we had a common language."
