(Rock News Desk) Fan of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin who have spent years anticipating the uncovering of tapes the bands recorded together are waiting in vain – because they never existed, says Bill Ward.But the two giants of British heavy rock did jam in a studio, just once; and the Sabbath drummer says watching his Led Zep counterpart John Bonham play with two bass drums was unforgettable.
The pair were close friends; and Ward admits he felt Bonham's death in 1980 as a result of heavy drinking was a wake-up call. He tells Back Page Magazine: "Zeppelin and Sabbath were in the studio at one time, and it only happened on one occasion. I don't remember what album we were working on, but we were in sessions and it all started when Bonzo came into the studio and sat down at my kit." more on this story
