Last night a reader known simply as “Tim” e-mailed us to say that Glenn Danzig played drums on Hollywood Undead’s Swan Songs.
Needless to say, I was flabbergasted. Was this true? How come no one had said anything ’til now? So I investigated…
As a part of goth metal OGs Type O Negative, drummer Johnny Kelley’s talents are often overshadowed by the low end sultriness and antics of bassist/frontman/nude model Peter Steele. But his graceful stickwork has been holding the band together since 1995’s October Rust, and the string of Type O albums that have come out since have stood shoulder to shoulder with the band’s prior material. Along with being Danzig’s drummer, Kelly plays in Seventh Void, a stoner/trad metal outfit with Type O Negative guitarist Kenny Hickey. The latter band released their debut on Vinnie Paul’s Big Vin Records in April. In an interview with MetalSucks, Kelly discusses Type O Negative’s future, working with Glenn Danzig, and his thoughts on modern drummers.
I mean, there’s no way this is actually Glenn Danzig, but good God, whoever is running @DANZIG deserves a major fucking pat on the back for coming up with gems like these:

The intrepid reporters over at Metal Inquisition have done some gumshoe style investigating to take a look at the homes of some of the leading figures in the metal world. For example, Dave Mustaine: big home, lots of land. Glenn Danzig: not so much.
The report (complete with aerial shots!) is both shocking and hilarious. Check out Part 1 and Part 2, with a promise that Part 3 is on the way.
