From www.typeonegative.net

There is a new post on Type O's official website which consists of 10 questions with drummer Johnny Kelly in which he deals with issues regarding Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses, Peters health, and the next record.

1) Describe Johnny Kelly in three words.

JK) All things rock

2) Tell us something noone knows about the new type O Negatuve due out in 2005?

JK) If I told you, I'd have to kill you...

3) After the recent Damageplan shooting, has this made you reconider your own security at future concerts?

JK) I don't think that something like that is going to happen again but when someone comes on stage, I will definitely think twice as to why they're on the stage.

4) Are you vain?

JK) To an extent.

5) Are you kind to small mammals?

JK) I almost wrecked my truck trying to avoid a squirrel on I-80 this past Friday.

6) What is the latest on Pete Steele with regards to his health?

JK) Peter is still very much with us. If he does what his doctor told him to do, he'll be with us for a very long time.

7) You do alot of solo work with Dizzy Reed. Are you a fan of Guns n'roses?

JK) I am a huge GNR fan. Appetite For Destruction is one of the greatest albums of all time.

8) One of our editors, Teroz, is a Bon Jovi fan. Do you think this is healthy?

JK) I own two Bon Jovi cd's. Bon Jovi managed to survive a lot of trends throughout the years and I salute anyone that openly admits that they're a fan.

9) Is it true you are doing a charity gig in LA on January 20th with Dizzy Reed et al?

JK) Yes, it's at the Hard Rock Café in Los Angeles. There's going to be a lot of people participating and everyone should come out for a good cause. Go to www.happeninharry.com for details. I'm note sure if Dizzy is going to be a part of the show but I hope he is. I haven't seen him in a few months and playing with him is always a great time.

10) What are your plans for 2005?

JK) I hope to have a new Type O cd completed but I'm not sure when it's going to be finished and released. Getting Blackwater Rising's (a side project with Kenny from Type O) recordings completed and doing some gigs with that. More shows with my Led Zeppelin tribute band, Earls Court and maybe some more trips to Chicago with Happenin Harry.
