Johnny Kelly: New Type O Negative Live Album & The Legacy of Peter Steele
In this landmark episode of Sh!t Talk Reviews, we are joined by the legendary Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative, Danzig, Quiet Riot) and Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Patriarchs In Black). While we dig into their new project, the real "Drab Four" magic happens as Johnny gives us the inside track on the latest Type O Negative news.
Type O Negative Signs with Nuclear Blast
Johnny breaks the news about Type O Negative signing with Nuclear Blast and discusses the upcoming release of a new live album. We talk about the resurgence of the band in 2025/2026, the influx of younger fans discovering Bloody Kisses and October Rust, and the emotional weight of keeping the Vinnland flag flying.
The Future of the Drab Four
We ask the questions every Type O fan wants to know: Is there a return of Type O Negative in some form on the horizon? Johnny reflects on what he would say to Peter Steele today and discusses the current status of Josh Silver and Kenny Hickey. We also dive into rare video footage from the "Slow, Deep and Hard" days and take listener questions about Johnny's drumming techniques and the gear that defined the gothic metal sound.
