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.

The album will be available digitally on CD and vinyl plus a deluxe edition that includes vinyl, CD longbox, cassette and more, pre-order now. Today, the band released their first single, “Set You Free” – check out the absurdly ridiculous video for the first single, here. The 12-track album is both a tribute to the band’s “first to bleed, last to leave'' road crew and a salute to the legion whose support, stretching back to 1998, rivals that of the KISS Army. The stomping, heavy, bluesy, recklessly unhinged hard-rock-metal quartet are part invading horde, and part traveling carnival – summoning caffeine-fueled cacophony on records and the stage.Check out John on Facebook.Find all-things Mark Strigl here: MarkStrigl.netFollow Mark Strigl on Twitter: @talkingmetal Follow Mark Strigl on Instagram.Support this show by making a PayPal donation.Please consider sharing this episode on social media and leaving a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts.Get bonus content and support Mark on Patreon for as little as $2 a month: www.patreon.com/talkingmetal#ZakkWylde #OzzyOsbourne @Metallica #heavymetal #hardrock #talkingmetalSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
