Dean Mason has updated his The Lonely Ghost Project website (www.lonelyghost.com) with an interview with TYPE O NEGATIVE drummer Johnny Kelly. The followign is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: I remember you saying somewhere that one of your favorite concert experiences as a teen was KISS and that you thought GENE SIMMONS was "underrated"? Would PETER CRISS have been one of your "inspirations"? Actually, Peter Criss is also a really excellent singer ('Nothing To Lose'!!! 'Black Diamond'!!!).
A: If it wasn’t for Peter Criss, I probably wouldn’t have taken an interest in playing drums. I was completely consumed by KISS when I was a kid. I definitely feel that Gene Simmons is an underrated bass player. I agree with you, Peter Criss does have a great voice."
