Kelly reflected on Type O Negative’s history, how he originally got the gig, his time in Quiet Riot, performing with Kill Devil Hill, and more.During the discussion, Kelly was asked about the long-rumored, unreleased song recorded by the surviving members of Type O Negative with legendary Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward. Here’s what Johnny had to say:“I wanna say, at this point, it was eight years ago, something like that. The foundation of it is, when Peter had passed away, Bill had written a song in tribute and he wanted to get the rest of us to play on it—Kenny, Josh and myself. So Kenny and I went out to California, played and did the drum tracks, the guitar tracks. I think Kenny is singing on it a little bit. I think Dewey is singing on it. Through that friendship of Bill and I, Dewey became friends with Bill Ward, and then Bill would have Dewey sing a lot of the stuff. Bill is always working on music… he is always writing and recording and stuff like that, and he grabbed Dewey.So we did the song. Josh actually did a keyboard track on it in New York and that was it. We recorded the song, and I’m not sure—for a long time I wasn’t sure what was going on. But the last time we spoke to Bill, he was talking about getting the song finished. That was this year after Back to the Beginning, he said he was gonna start working on it and get it wrapped up.”More content from Mark Strigl can be found exclusively on his Patreon page for subscribers and supporters.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
