I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.
This is truly one of the few bands which doesn't really have any peers. They sounded so unlike all other bands that they're basically a genre by themselves.
Good comment!!
It's hard to describe their sound without leaving some element out. The way they could inject sarcasm and dark humor into their music is unparalleled and added so much to the experience.
Totally. Like Tool or SOAD. Love them or hate them, they ARE their sound.
true
Paradise lost and My dying bride def have some TON vibes, but Type certainly had their own style
Whenever I'm feeling down.. or even pissed off.. just put on summer breeze! or "we hate everyone" badass jam..
Peter Steele is a fuckin god in human clothing. Look at this handsome beast. I don't care that he's actually a 700 year old vampire.
They never fell .... RIP Pete
dead again is a great album. september sun is a beautiful end cap to his writing.
So there I was...
Smoking a joint with VIO-LENCE backstage at the international ballroom in the ATL back in 1992ish.... when this beast of a man walked in I'd never seen before.
😉
One of the most iconic, unique sounding bands I had fortune of discovering in my late teens and watch them grow and gain some traction, till the sad end.. 😢 RIP Peter.
Peter would have wanted you to say "Misfortune of discovering". 😃
I only heard a few tracks and didn't like them. Got any recommendations I'll give it a go!
@@RighteousBrother ooh, Everyone talks about Bloody Kisses and don’t get me wrong it is an amazing album, but October Rust and World Coming Down are great! Oozing with moods and emotions, much like settling into a good Cure track or album! Peter, like Robert Smith, knows/knew how to set a mood and just take you along for the ride.
@@GiggityinFreddy thanks friend. I'll give them a go!
@@RighteousBrother cheers dude! You won’t regret it. No other band sounds like them.
October Rust is a magical, atmospheric, powerhouse of an album. Love You to Death is beyond words.
Definitely my most favorite album by them.
My wife secretly had the DJ play Love You To Death at our wedding. Awesome memory.
Agreed, it has the full range of human emotion and experience. My favorite album of all time
Damn straight. One of the greatest albums I have ever heard. 100s of listens and it keeps getting better.
Wolf Moon is one of my favorite songs ever written, so damn good, yet so damn funny and that was Type O. They'll never be another one like them.
I feel so badly for Peter because you know he was an empath and couldn't turn it off. When you're that massive, imposing, and beautiful people assume you're a winner-takes-all egomaniac but he just wanted to be Loved. At the very least he will be Remembered.
Exactly! Still it blows my mind that he wasn’t lucky with girls.. like what?! WHAT?!🥴🤣
@@cotevallejos7230It’s something we will never understand… lol.
At first, Peter went along with the whole "getting girls" thing, at least as far as television appearances went. His appearance on Jerry Springer is iconic. Lol. After October Rust though, things definitely started to fall apart for him and the band, albeit very slowly. Very sad how singers like he and Prince died the way they did. *RIP 🖤💚💜*
As an empath, we have to learn how to "turn it off" or protect ourselves. Peter Steele was a survivor. He was strong, and maybe too good for this world.
@@PerrySkyePhoenix i think he wasn’t able to, which i relate to exactly. just too damn sensitive
I discovered Type O Negative in Dec. 2022 at the ripe old age of 53. What a great band. October Rust in particular is a masterpiece.
I heard them b4...but wasnt i to them until the HowardStern interview/singing
I discovered them later on in life too!! ❤
I saw a Peter Steel "short reel" on FB recently, where he was interviewed by Jerry Springer. I've been a massive Goth fan since the 80s, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission...
Had heard of these before but never checked them out sooner. I wish I had!! By the way, I'm 57. Never too late/old to get into new bands 😊
@@sue5488- There's a longer clip of that here on RUclips if you haven't seen it yet.
@@motorheadforlife9431 I'd like to see that 🙂
I've been listening to ToN for 23 years now, which is crazy to even think. I'm 37 years old. I remember coming home from work and my best friend telling me about Peter's death. It crushed me mentally. I cried for days, because ToN's music has saved my own life, but then I realized that I should appreciate what they've already put out. Still, (or Steele ^^) you're so missed Green Man
💚🖤
BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK
NUMBER ONE....(Just like your last name)
Damn … you look FKN GOOD at 37!!
I've lstened to them for almost 30 years now... holy f*** I'm old 😝
Just tell her you look good... Drop mentioning her age ..
Type O Negative did not rise and fall.
Type O Negative arose upon the scene and left an unparalleled musical legacy to which every single band within their specific genre owes their existence.
**R.I.P. PETER STEELE 🪦**
I got to meet Peter at a convention he was playing maybe a few months before he died. Was so surreal, dude towered over every booth and attraction and the whole crowd.
@AlbertaStrength he made hiss bass look like a toy. Rip you legendary giant.
Superrb. None of that's true though is it?
They don't make them like that anymore :(
@@horzathirteen It is but ok? Dont think he did horror conventions? He specifically loved those, then headlined after.
@@nwerd7584 Sorry mate. Was really just a very unnecessary and obnoxious late night comment by me after a few beers and reading a lot of very fanciful tales in the comments section. Glad you had the experience.
Steele’s voice is so amazing. That low deep voice with the music always reminds me of halloween. “Its all hallow’s eve, the moon is full.”
What yall missed is that Steele converted back to Catholicism towards the end of his life, he talked about his faith in an unreleased interview, his story did not have a tragic ending for that reason, may he be in the presence of Christ
Riposi in pace 🙏❤
reminds me of one of the greatest lines i have heard in my life " The pitch of Peter Steele's voice is lower than my self-esteem. "
First time I’ve seen Bloody Kisses with two kittens on the cover instead of the two girls.
I'll never forget when Peter was on an episode of Jerry Springer in '95 titled "Sexy groupie girls tell all" lol, it was one of the most rockstar things I've ever seen. 🤘
I remember I saw that in its original broadcast. It is a must watch!
Never clicked on a video this fast! RIP Peter Steele
"Everything dies...."
as a new yorker all i can do is be thankful how awesome they made my late teens.
Yo Brooklyn
@ShadowAmongstTheMasses A dying Godman full of pain...👌
Pete is probably the most unreplaceable front man there could be
Stop the cap
When I worked at concerts, I met just about everyone and Peter Steele was one of the nicest people. I loved their music! RIP Peter!
Lmao "we may suck,but it's not blood" I miss Peter.R.i.p🤘😎👍
I viewed them as a novelty when they first hit the scene and was reminded of them by an article in a guitar magazine about Life is Killing Me. I really discovered their depth and have been a listener since. I threw on Dead Again while handing out Halloween candy this year haha - perfect! Love the last two albums musically and lyrically - worth a listen if you haven't.
i always have world coming down playing on hallows' eve! i even have a creepy green light for my doorway!
One of the things that made the Drab Four stand out from most other bands is that their covers of other artists' songs all sounded like original TON material rather than just being lazy copies. Their versions of Hey Joe, Paranoid, Black Sabbath, Summer Breeze, Cinnamon Girl, Light My Fire etc. are all masterpieces in my book.
Their Day Tripper Beatles medley is one of my favorites, and I can't stand the Beatles haha
Their Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath cover is the best cover of all time (in my opinion).
@@cloudbloom I was looking for someone to mention that cover! It’s amazing! I loved their spin on it. I’m a huge Beatles fan and a huge TON fan. I know a lot of people who will listen to one or the other but refuse to expose themselves to all music. And I believe that is one of the things that makes for a great band. Even if you don’t want to play “covers”, listening to different types of artists gives you a broader spectrum for experimentation. That’s why some bands go stale. Sorry, I rambled there. Hahaha!
@@Evil-Never-Dies I suppose you mean their Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath cover (band, album, song) ;o)
...and yes, it is fucking EPIC.
@@GoldfingerXXX 🤘
I love Type O. Easily in my top 10 favorite bands
Missing you still after 12 years Pete, still feels like you left just yesterday. you know there's a great band in Heaven.
I last saw them at Ozzfest. Peter was singing and Marilyn Manson came out and jumped on his back.
Peter was walking around piggybacking Marilyn as they both sang together, it was fantastic.
Wow never knew they crossed paths. I could see how they got along lol
Silly rabbit, there was no "fall of".
Great band! Saw them twice and they were amazing live. I was right up front for the show when they opened for Coal Chamber. Between songs, the stage would fade to black and they had a big McDonald's sign lit. I think half the people there didn't know, or understand them.
Loved the Black Sabbath covers. I always thought they were one of the very few bands that could cover Sabbath and really pull it off.
Peter was such a funny guy too, at least on stage. When I heard about his passing, I literally did not believe it for about a week. I really thought it was a hoax. RIP
I'm always gutted by the fact I missed their concert at the Astoria in London, 1996, was so sick that I really couldn't go, gave my ticket to a friend. Feel like I missed a band in it's prime.
@@brainmolko Same thing happened to me with Marilyn Manson on the Antichrist Superstar tour. I couldn't make it and all I heard about for months from my friends was, "Man, you should have went to see Manson."
@@scottbubb2946 "Man, you should have went to see Manson"
@@blacksunshine7485 😂
Peter had faked his death during his jail/rehab/psychiatric stay, so yeah, it took seeing it on a few news sources for me to believe he was gone.
A fucking chain guitar-strap.
Pretty sure ‘Origin’ was a studio album, not a live album; the hostile crowd reaction was added as a joke
You are correct.
A joke the record company wasn't too happy about. "You suck! You suck!" 😆
r
@The Progressing Drummer - spot on -
Ha - I had it on 1.5 and heard it as 'faux-live' album, but on reply not.
And that's not the only thing this guy got wrong in this video...
Origin of the Feces wasn't a real live concert! It was a fake crowd! It was meant to be a joke!
Not to the record label it wasn't 🤣
Peter Steele was a true artist. He did music his way with no apologies 💀. He is greatly missed
There was no rise and fall. It was rising until Peter's death.
I regret never getting to see them live. Bloody Kisses, October Rust, and World Coming Down are peak Type O and must listens for anyone. RIP Green Man.
Saw them during their October Rust tour... definitely one of my favorite shows that I've seen in my time 🤟
Their cover of "Summer Breeze" is awesome on Kisses album. :-) I liked his voice and to me their was no one who sounded like them.
Search for "Summer Girl" if you havent heard it. It's the same cover but different lyrics. I personally like it better.
@@KillSwitchNY Yeah... too bad that Seals & Crofts dissaproved of Peter's raunchy lyrics 😁
@Ricky F I think they were just worried it would have overshadowed their original lol.
What a stupid title for your video but I still enjoyed watching it. Type O Negative fell. More like we the fans fell when Peter Steele passed away. Nobody will ever sound or play like Type O Negative again. He was a God.
The first time Type O played in my area, Albany, NY they played at the South Troy Community Center...lol...the next time they came upstate they played at an actual club. I believe it was 1993 or '94 and I met Peter that night. He politely said hello and shook my hand. I was dumbfounded and I don't think I said anything more than thank you. He was so intimidating because of his size!!! Unfortunately for me because I had a HUGE crush on him, he met my best friend and was smitten...she shook his hand too, but he leaned in and gave her a kiss...lucky bitch!!! I was crushed...
This just made me laugh, sorry about your luck.
That's brutal.
They only would have “fallen”, if they stayed together after Peter’s death and put out a bunch of crappy albums. Which they didn’t.
Fair to say there was no fall. There was just an end.
R.I.P Pete 🖤
My first album of them was World Coming Down. I was in a dark place myself and the album made me feel less one on one with my feelings. RIP Peter and thanks for everything.
The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.
Im not the fan of metal but Type O Negative is something else. It hits differently, really unique sound and distinctive songs and the Peters voice and the presence. great songwriting...love it.
None More Negative!!!!
Not be ‘that guy’ but jail and prison are 2 different things, and can’t he used interchangeably.
Jail: Inmates awaiting court/sentencing or serving a year or less operated by Sheriff/County
Prison: Convicted felons with 1+ year operated by State or Feds
"Who doesn't like the Beatles?" *Raises hand*
2:48 correction this was a fake live recording the hostile crowd was just added humor
October Rust is an absolute banger of an album. Great song after great song after great song. I remember immediately buying it after hearing My Girlfriend's Girlfriend on Q101 shortly after its release.
Jesus Christ looks like me👌
I love Type O. LOVE THEM. Peter Steele was amazing. Their sound was awesome. I will forever listen to them. Pete was so funny! His interviews are bonkers. He was goofy and witty and clever. I think he gave off this whole “serious vampire” mood but he really didn’t take himself too seriously and I would have loved to just sat down and talked with him. The interviews of the band together make me laugh so hard! I wanted to go see them when I was around 16. My cousin worked for a radio station and he got 4 tickets including backstage passes. My dad would never ever stop me from experiencing live music. But I had a massive poster of Peter on my bedroom wall. My dad said “absolutely not. You’re not going to that concert. And absolutely not going backstage.” I would have 💯 ran away with him forever. 😂 “Anesthesia” is one of my favorite songs of all time.
“Unsuccessfully Coping…” is an incredible track.
I love the "public safe" cover of bloody kisses lmfao 🤣
There was no fall. Peter Steele was Type O Negative and he died. So the band split. That's all.
Even with Peter's death there has never been a fall of type of negative.
Just putting that out there.
Type o negative!!!!!!! R.I.P Peter Steele
Black no 1 is a bizarrely sexy song. Peter was a god!
I saw them a couple of times and actually met him when they were here opening for Motley Crue. I hate Motley Crue, but I was there for Type O. He was just wandering around before they played largely unnoticed. He was really nice and friendly.
ToN/Carnivore was the only band I felt I truly related to. All the tongue-in-cheek, cynicism, schizophrenia, angst, depression, longing, lusting, self-loathing, intolerance, and self-medication. Going from thrash-punk blasts of double kick to funeral march tempos with that warm fuzzy bass droning. Kenny starting every song with whailing feeback, and Josh adding the special touch to keep everything atmospheric. Trade offs between the Green Man and Wolf Boy on the vocals. There we nights where I thought Id lose my mind, if the Glass Walls of Limbo didnt reel me back. You are so missed.
Fake live album with a hostile audience. That album was recorded in a studio (which honestly, makes it all that much better). That record is easily type o negatives best
Sal Abruscato was Type O's original drummer, not Johnny Kelly. Sal left after Bloody Kisses and was replaced by Johnny Kelly during the October Rust album cycle who then became the band's permanent drummer. Sheesh, guy!
My favorite band of all time. Thanks for making a video on them, the Casket Crew lives on even if the green man has passed🙏
Miss Type O Negative…
Got to see them in 1995 with Pantera. RIP to Peter.
Sal Abruscato played drums on Bloody Kisses.......
Exactly
Technically,.. nobody played drums on Bloody Kisses,.. or any of the following ones until Dead Again. They used a drum machine in studio,.... and I really wish I could learn more about which one,.. or if they were samples. The drums sounded phenomenal and would love to have some high quality samples to play with
@@visisydandthevoid Are you shitting me? No way that's a freaking drum machine on those albums... where on earth did you get that from?
One of the best bands to see live, met Pete many times over the years, such a nice guy, 'World Coming Down' is in my top 10 albums, luckily I got to see them one last time before Pete died (Bogarts, Cincinnati, Ohio, the second to last show they ever died before Steele passed, Josh was at paramedic school, so unfortunately, he was not present), seeing the entire venue along with all of the other bands on the bill sing Black No.1 was incredible, it was by far the best performance they ever gave in my experience, I don't think people realize to this day how many bands TON influenced or how technical those guys were, such a shame they are longer a thing and Pete is no longer with us.
It's like Pantera man.. they were meant to leave their mark in music and it's music history. they "type O" and so many others are still very important for music. it's inspiration! and music is powerful! it heals some people.. if you let it. it's used for many things.
Their cover of "Summer Breeze" is fucking amazing! 🤘
Even with the harsh reality of some of their records, the music was still amazing. Type O is an incredibly raw, and talented band. I praise it all. 💚
They never fell. Bad title
I just looked up the lead singer I just found this group a few weeks ago
I love them. Now I see he is dead. Wtf. I’m literally in tears right now. I wanted to see them play. Hoping too. I know they had a lot of music years ago but I found September Sun and had some hope. Well I guess not 😢
I remember Peter's 2010 demise. What REALLY sucked was the fact that Dio checked out only a month later...!
Stay Negative!
Their music always found a way to really hit the mark. Anesthesia off Life is killing me still hits. RIP Peter
Pete died a block away from where I lived at the time
didn't you make this video 2 years ago? pretty sure i just watched it
I’ve been wanting a recreation of Type O in some form ever since they’ve disbanded. Fortunately, back in ‘17, a new band came out called October Noir that replicates the closest sound to Type O. I highly recommend checking them out. Kenny’s band SilverTomb is also pretty good too, more of a doom metal sound though as opposed to the goth metal sound
I say again--
The MOST underrated band in history
Their Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath cover is the best cover of all time (in my opinion).
Still listen to them regularly 🤘always will.
All hail Type O Negative
Johnny didn't join the band until 1994.
Seriously where’s the fall? Yes the scene might’ve changed but they didn’t! Last time I saw Peter was that a club in New Jersey and we were watching brides of destruction together he looked great we had a great time and next thing you know I heard he passed!
Peter Steele was one of a Kind R.I.P
My cousin used to beg me to listen to them in 93. Instead, I only gave them any attention after Peter's death. I wish I just listened to my cousin.
Lol yeah, when I first heard their music at around the same time, I thought "uh, okay, that is some weird ass shit..." - Took me repeated listening until I got absolutely f***ing addicted to it. 😁
People don’t realize how huge TON was
Was using the fake Bloody Kisses album cover with the cats a joke or did you actually mess up there?
What's the deal with the cats on the bloody kisses cover? That's NOT the cover!
My favorite band 💚
10:12 Molly who?
really appreciate the fact you credit the pics you use, havent seen anyone take the time to do that
October Rust is a masterpiece of musicianship. Tossing the first 2 tracks (for being comedic relief), this album is one of the few that requires no skipping, nor searching for a good song. I bought it the day it came out, and I still listen to it on the regular. Thank you, Drab Four, for this magnum opus.
R.I.P. Peter.
I was at work (3rd shift) when I got the call about Peterov!
I was "Noooooo!!! Did he finally do it? Oh man!" Thinking hed took his own life.
Went that day and over withdrew my account for a handle of Gilby's Gin.
Had to drink and rock TON that day.
All alone in my apartment
I was lucky enough to see Type O 13 times. I saw them in CT, NY, Mass, and RI. I saw Carnivore when they had the reunion. When Pete died I mourned. Pete was the only musician I have ever mourned over. I knew a bouncer at Toads place in New Haven in CT. When Type O played there he got me in to meet Pete. I will never forget that. RIP Pete. The loss of his creative genius is a tragedy.
My fav band of all time.
I rather be dead and cool than alive and un-cool.
I was cracking up at 5:11 cause my favorite album is October Rust and I'm a Woman. Lol their marketing strategy worked! 💀
Type O never fell, or even plateued. Dead Again is a brutal dark poetic masterpiece
Less than 1 minute in the narrator saidRoad Runner Records was a small label GTFOOH
Gothic Gaston
Steele always seemed to be very sad and alone to me. My feeling about him is that he wanted to be loved above all things. But, by his way of life was difficult to keep relationships I suppose. Anyways, I miss Type O' Negative! I had a really good time listening them when I was young! And listen them is a pleasure even nowadays.
