      nothing ever stopped him achieve it either. first of his 6,7, a respected celeb, seem to be a smart guy, not bad looking. He had every option and he likely knew this very well. theres a good chance if he had a family he likely be an afaul father figure consider that he wasnt known to be faithful, had a drug problem and lacked consistence. My guess is, he was selfless in that regards likely knowing if he had a family hed destroy it.

      ​@@dendrien he was his biggest saboteur that's for sure but there are worse men in the rock/metal scene that had stable family lives thanks to bagging one of their fans as a loyal devoted wife, Pete was just unlucky. Also, he might have been alive now if he had a wife by his side that relentlessly nagged him to go to the hospital on that damned day. It really is just fate sometimes.

    Part of the genius of Type O really comes down to how much of a bag of contradictions they were. For an example, Pete Steele was perhaps one of the coolest, smartest guys in music, yet he lived in his mom’s actual basement for the majority of his life.

      I saw him at a Laibach show in Manhattan in 1996 and I'll tell you this - I talked to a lot of musicians I liked when I was young and stupid, but I was literally too scared to go up and talk to him.
      He was also there with a date and it seemed like he couldn't say two sentences to her before some dork came over to interrupt him, so I probably made the right choice for once.

      Peter doubled down on most of his worst lyrical tendencies in interviews. WE all need to be re-assessing our "dude its a joke" attitudes towards these guys, its damaging to the culture. I used to do that shit, and then i realized if you dig, most guys who are willing to say, for example, they hate gay people, or they want to fvck K1ds, or they start fights for no reason, etc. almost without fail tend to actually want to do those things. There are situations where the parody is more clear, like say, GWAR, or... IDK you know the bands im talking about, where its a story, its more like a movie. "I like goils" is a song about how peter steele does not like gay people and hes proud of it, and it also includes a veiled reference to either r4ping l3sbians, or its bi-erasure whioch is still dumb. Its also a really bad song, and the jokes are objectively poorly written.

    Pete did not die of heart failure. He died of a case of untreated diverticulitis. He refused to go to the hospital because one of his cats was sick and he wouldn't leave him. After a week of flu like symptoms, his long time friend finally convinced him to go to the hospital. Pete was already septic and died from that. Pete and his cat died on the same day. If he would have just gone to the hospital sooner, Pete would be here enjoying his new found sobriety and possibly, we would have been given a new Typo album.

    An even better joke on October Rust than the outro was the intro joke. The first "song" was called Bad Ground and it was just the sound of buzzing for like 30 seconds or something and then the band came on laughing and invited you to enjoy the rest of the album. They got me with that one. I was checking all the cables on my old stereo trying to figure out why it was just buzzing.

      The first album had a similar, though more convoluted joke... The second to last track was called "The Misinterperetation of Silence and It's Disasterous Consequences". It was about a minute and a half of silence, the joke therein being that after a bit, the listener would assume the album was over and shut it off, with the "disasterous consequence" being you'd miss out on the last song.🤣

Dez was cool, but he seemed to be pre-occupied with the backstage party, he talked to us fans for a bit but didn't really respect me asking him about Sharon Osbourne haha (Sharon used to be Coal Chambers manager for you kids who don't know) then he quickly left the group of us fans backstage and returned back to partying and drinking backstage and I returned to the venue to watch Type O Negative!

But they could also play it straight - and the results were often quite amazing. October Rust and World Coming Down had that humor muted (but not gone.) and were gorgeous well-crafted albums. They may have saved their best album for last, though. Dead Again was a raging full-on return to their hardcore roots while retaining their penchant for Beatles-esque melodies and harmonies. Might be the best final album from *any* band. Lots of ways to get into Type O.

    Finn - thank you for this very even-handed and fair assessment of my all-time favorite band of all time. That began in early 1994 in Copenhagen when a very pregnant graphic designer for a CPH music venue (me) left the art department at the venue in search of coffee. And literally walked straight into Peter Steele. Type O Negative was to play at the punk/metal/alt bar Barbue that night, and Peter had gotten lost somewhere on his way to the green room. I'm 5'1 on a good day. So I looked up. I was used to that. And up. And up. Peter was horrified, empathetic and apologized profusely and most eloquently all the way back to the green room as I laughed it off. Of course I had to go to the show that night. They blew my mind. I met them several times since, and Peter never forgot. Ever since - these 30+ years and counting - Type O has been the band in my head and in my heart, and the soundtrack of my life. I've never stopped listening. When I wrote my debut novel 'Quantum Demonology', Peter gate-crashed as a major character - the literal Saint Peter. Which is one reason why it is also dedicated to him. The world is a lesser place without his music and that depth-of-Hades bass baritone, but at least we have that blacker-than-black music to console us.

      Really? If so, then damn. Interesting coincidence. It was a really surreal situation to say the absolute least, especially since I looked up to him in my teen years. Her and Pete never got super serious, IIRC, but the man was pretty crazy for her. She had seriously considered his proposals but she wanted to stay friends. They were still good friends up to his death. I never got to really meet Pete, unless you count seeing his band live, which I only did once, unfortunately.
      My life has been speckled with weird moments like that. I'd rather not give away too many details (already made that mistake once) out of respect for both her and Pete. I feel though it is important to say that I didn't leave with hard feelings towards him (or her,) quite the opposite. I wish I could have known him better. His music made the world an easier place to deal with during some lonely moments in my life, and I am thankful that he existed.

    I'm not the only one who thinks this because they were literally referred to as "The Drab Four", but Type O Negative were the Beatles of goth rock. Their chord structures and melodies have a classic feel to them (songs like Todd's Ship Gods, Be My Druidess, IYDKMIGTHTKY among many others) that's reminiscent of the Beatles and many other bands of that era. However the lyrics and sarcasm, cynicism, appreciation for nature, love & loss paint a unique picture i haven't quite found in any other group. Truly one of a kind and their music is my all time favorite. My first tattoo was their symbol on the upper arm and almost 30 years after first hearing them I'm still blown away by their sound and presence. Long live Type O💚💚💚💚

Had a vision and the drive and creativity to pull it off. Credit to his friends/bandmates for supporting him. They really were loyal as hell, staying committed to their friend's vision.

    Definitely a fan of Type O! A band I work for did a handful of shows with them! Which was awesome, They continuously offered us access to their dressing room for a place to chill and hang out because we were just in a van and trailer! It is awesome to do shots of Jager with Pete steel & and the band is a hole we’re just super nice guys! Great job on the video!

    I saw Type O with Pantera in Amarillo, TX in 95. Still my favorite show I've been to. RIP Peter Steele. 🤘

    I'm interested in what you'd have to say about sepultura... JS. You seem pretty accurate imo

    I'm grateful to have gotten the chance to see Type O live in concert back in the day. Great show!
