Great Josh Silver interview

Metal Israel has a great interview with Josh Silver of Type O Negative. It's probably the most detailed interview with a Jewish Metal musician that I've read. Aviva grills him pretty hard on his Jewish identity and his views on Israel. Apparently his great grandfather was a rabbi. Silver himself is an athesit but identifies pretty strongly (he has a mezuzah). On Israel, I had previously thought his views were similar to Aviva's (ie Kahanist) but he appears to be more conventionally right-wing with some ambivalent touches. The most interesting stuff is on his relationship to Pete Steele and his near-fascist leanings. Silver is maddeningly vague on the subject but kudos to Aviva for pushing him...
