Absolutely Christine! Johnny & Kenny are such cool & down to earth genuine guys hands down. I’m 46yrs old now & the first song i heard by Type O was on the “Nativity In Black” Black Sabbath covers album by many metal musicians & Type O covered the “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” which suited Type O to a tea because it was such a slow dirgy song & with Peter Steele’s deep baritone voice it was such an amazingly done cover & so dark & haunting 🤘
No wonder they were completely overlooked and underrated. The music and poetry of this band is so beautiful. They were not presented right by their own representative,I feel like if they would have sold them better, they would have been even bigger.
I'm actually glad they did it the way they did. The more underground rock/metal scene has more heart and soul to it. If they ended up doing the Metallica thing, it would kind of ruin it for me, because that's not them. These are simply my opinions.
They had two platinum records. They did pretty good considering they didn't at all fit in with the times. They got as big as they possibly could have. If anything, Peter didn't stick with what made them famous after October Rust.
Fantastic interview! It's great hearing an interviewer who actually did his research beforehand and asked that simple, magical question so often: "Tell me more."
Agreed. This is probably the best interview with J & K that I've ever heard. All other interviewers should take note and raise their game. TON forever!!
@@randyreiser1692 I totally get where he's coming from and respect that he prioritizes his family, but it's still a bummer. The guys described it like getting out of the mob... once your in, you're typically in for life or until it kills you, and if you get out, you're lucky and never go back. 🤣 For a lot of us old school die hard fans though, it would be like sitting for an afternoon and catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in years and reminiscing about the gΘΘd Θl' days. 😔
@@randyreiser1692 I've been obsessing for the last couple of days about Type Θ, wathcing and reading a bunch of interviews, and I just had a random idea... We could put together an online open letter with signatures from a few thousand uber fans to Josh, politely asking him to reconsider, but also acknowledging respect and understanding for not wanting to do an interview, and just reminding him just how much he is respected, loved, and missed... Reading through the comments on the many videos I've been watching the last few days, I'm seeing that there are a LOT of us old schoolers, and even a strong showing of younger newer fans who would like to just hear from him and show our respect. Even if it didn't change his mind about doing an interview, it would be nice to simply send him that message.
Thanks Type O Negative. Back in 2001 my son committed suicide. Instead of turning into a garbage head doing lots of drugs and booze. I was able to grieve through your music. Everything Dies, Everyone I Love is Dead etc. I also loved the guitar tone. Overdriven and loud to where if take your hand off the strings it's going to feedback. I needed that kind of energy to balance the intensity inside me. I was proud of myself for not just doing the substance abuse route. I appreciate your humor. Then and now. Peter, died on my birthday. April is suppose to be a new start with mother nature. April showers bring May flowers. With his passing, it feels more like a golden shower brings thorns. Hope I don't sound like a prick. I had thought C.T. could/would replace the Green Man vocally. I know an Aussie had asked him to do vocals on a tribute album. The TON people know who I'm referencing. Stay negative brothers. Dont grow up. Like an overdose of Colon Blow. Your shit affected the world more than many understand. Be cool Klaus. That's not a German Wacken festival comment. Goot in Himel
Horrendous about your son, man.. nothing like someone you love doing away with themselves and rejecting the world. I know that well, it changes everything you thought about life for a while, always a scar that never heals... it's just there, to remind you how f... the world can be from time to time. Big condolences, keep safely in your heart😔
Can't believe I didn't come across this until now. I enjoyed this so much! Seeing Kenny and Johnny together again, their same old hilarious brotherhood the same as it always was, is so heartwarming. It seems like no time at all has passed. This is a treasure. Thank you so much.
47:30 - That's how I got my first copy of Bloody Kisses, ordered from Columbia House in the fall of 94 when I was only 17. I was receiving the Columbia House metal catalog every month and they had featured Type Θ on the cover like four times in the course of the year, so I thought I'd give them a shot. This was back when you had to fill out a card, send it in, then wait 3-4 weeks to get a package in the mail. Anyway, I off-handedly mentioned it to my buddy who turned me on to a bunch of metal bands, since he'd never talked about them and I wanted his opinion. At the time he wasn't into them yet, but his older brother was, and insisted I borrow their first album before listening to Bloody Kisses. Slow Deep and Hard changed my life. Gravitational Constant really resonated with me, as I was dealing with deep depression ar the time. The album was such an addiction for me that three weeks later, when Bloody Kisses arrived in the mail, I listened to it once right when it came, and went back to listening to SD&H 3-4 times a day - it sat gathering dust for about a month before really diving into it.🤣
I absolutely laugh so hard at Kenny and his impressions of Josh and Pete. I love Johnny I feel like he is the happiest of them all his laughter and smile is infectious.
Thirty years I’ve been into this band. I was about to graduate high school. The first time I heard Bloody Kisses I had started gettin the fizz with my HS girlfriend but told her to finish herself while I put my head in the speakers and turned it up. No lie.
Thanks for this interview guys... it's hard to explain but listening to you guys talk is just soothing... I guess it brings back memories of good times
Even J & K admitted this was a GREAT interview. This guy needs to go over their entire career(s), ALL albums (incl b-sides, alt versions, etc.) anecdotes, tours, rumors, etc. AND, ffs....GET JOSH (or, AT LEAST, Sal) on here too, so we can get some BRAND NEW perspective on all this shit. Damn...I'll throw in $100 cash to help make that happen.
Man I wish you could have gotten Josh on this interview. We all know he's probably busy still trying to take a poop though. Great interview, got a new sub!
I might have to get hurt in NY and maybe Josh can be my paramedic! LOL Nah, it would be nice if Josh would have done this interview also or any interview after Peter passing on.
I almost choked on my pizza while the interviewer is reading the first promo. Totally laughed out loud. Great interview. "Canada Day"?! Lolololololol!..... PT Barnum - I thought so , hahahaha! Thank you for validating the "OHHH- AUH" 's trademark.
They were supposed to play a place in Jax fl called Spike’s Doghouse but they had to cancel because the ceiling above the foot-tall stage was so low Peter wouldn’t have fit. Like at all. Lol. It was like 94. Maybe 95. I was so disappointed because the place was tiny and I was Type O OBSESSED. But then…. I got to see them open for Crüe. They played like 3 songs in 40 minutes and we left as soon as they were done. It was still light out. lol
One of the greatest interview with TON, its so nice that you invited Johnny and Kenny altogether. Plus you asked a very good questions. Great work brother, you did tremendous job.
I have their records in box set and just bought Kenny's chorus pedal by Jessup Amps. Definitely my favorite band of all time. Just above NIN and TOOL. They are so fucking unique. I miss these guys!!!
Incredible interview! Anything that's related to Type O Negative and the members' stories is always worth hearing. Sometimes, I kinda envy Johnny since it seems like he was such in a lucky position to know the band; know Peter on a very personal level in the very early days of the band.
Ya know what's great,... The brainchild of it all,got the best musicianship out of his buddies,and the amount of inspiration running rampart between them is pretty cool
@@templeofbleh2315 That's what she said!🤣 Some classic Type⊝ comedy right there! And that WAS me giving you credit, lol! I hope you Googled PT Barnum afterward... All that having been said, you did an excellent job with this interview!
Peter is pointing at Kenny, " Hey you fuck! What happened to continuing the band???? (Peter would have loved its continuance. Right before he died, he was writing new songs.)p
just swears, the 'slut, whore, cunt' lyrics on unsuccessfully coping, though im not sure what that promo thing from roadrunner said, something about being fucked slow deep and hard?
That's true about live sound. I've been at three TypeO' concerts, one of them was open air. Every time, i mean EVERY time it was annoying wall of unrecognizable noise. So it was definitely about just watch the show, not listen to music.
That was "Origin of the Feces", not "Slow Deep and Hard", and yes, it was originally released with that cover art (I own it on cassette, lol). A year later it was re-released with different art, and now there's a vinyl box set that has the original art.
I tried to meet them on side of Roseland ballroom..were people can sit n shit...it was dark and they were dressed like mad max type shit......that's a golden memory!
I've actually read someone on Allmusic describe "Angry Neurotic Catholics" as Grindcore/Black metal because of its blast beats (or at least compares it to those genres). Unrelated, but as a Catholic I find the lyrics to that song hilarious.
In modern times, when anyone says blackmetal, most people think of second wave and later, as in the Norweigan scene. Back in the 80s when the term black metal was first coined, it refered more to a certain ambiance created by a raw sound and less than amazing production values. At that time, there were even people calling Mercyful Fate and Manowar black metal, simply because of the ambiance of their record production.
Dude, you got lucky with an interview that landed you at least 13,000 more views than anything else, and you haven’t taken the time to like or reply to each of 60 or so comments? 🙄

Yep.... You got some great untold stories outta these guys!
Even Johnny at the end "This was great, I really enjoyed it!" They appreciated the fact that you knew your shit lol
i miss these guys so much! Be nice to see Josh sit in on one like this.
I invited him to do an interview one time and he politely but firmly declined, saying that part of his life is behind him.

"Bloody Kisses" will have this year its 30th birthday!
Damn, now i'm feel FFFFFFING old!
Same. I bought that album when I was 17... damn that time flew!

They still work together

Almost 30 years I been following TYPE Θ. Love you guys, thanks for everything.
I’m in the same boat lol (-) Love 💚it 🎸
As a TON fan who already discovered this channel, I recommend you to check the Denis Pauna channel, this guy is doing magic!
Yeah, me too. Their music totally change my life.
How did you get the Type O Negative symbol with the negative in the TYPE O ?

I love these two so much. What I'd give to hang out at the bar for a couple hours with Kenny and Johnny
Great interview! I wish all this would be thoroughly documented in a TON biography.
thank you for allowing Kenny and Johnny to respond so fully. Appreciated the chat about sound engineer re: mic, etc.
Thirty years I’ve been into this band. I was about to graduate high school. The first time I heard Bloody Kisses I had started gettin the fizz with my HS girlfriend but told her to finish herself while I put my head in the speakers and turned it up. No lie.

Any excuse to listen to those two talk, i'll take it.
they tell the best fkn stories
What did he bleeped out?
I think maybe the c word? the Cee U Next Tuesday one. I'm not entirely sure lol.
just swears, the 'slut, whore, cunt' lyrics on unsuccessfully coping, though im not sure what that promo thing from roadrunner said, something about being fucked slow deep and hard?
found the promo cd! it says "the musical equivalent of rape" and "penetrated" slow deep and hard. not sure why he had to beep out penetrated lol
That's true about live sound. I've been at three TypeO' concerts, one of them was open air. Every time, i mean EVERY time it was annoying wall of unrecognizable noise. So it was definitely about just watch the show, not listen to music.
That's why you're supposed to wear earplugs to a show. Loud enough to feel is too loud to hear.
Kenny is god
Did Type-o ever release "slow,deep and hard" with the I presume original cover design for album,hence "the puckered poop 💩 chute"?
That was "Origin of the Feces", not "Slow Deep and Hard", and yes, it was originally released with that cover art (I own it on cassette, lol). A year later it was re-released with different art, and now there's a vinyl box set that has the original art.

This is the first time I ever heard say Carnivore & black metal. Scifi...yes. Mad Max....yes, but black metal?😄
I've actually read someone on Allmusic describe "Angry Neurotic Catholics" as Grindcore/Black metal because of its blast beats (or at least compares it to those genres).
Unrelated, but as a Catholic I find the lyrics to that song hilarious.
Oh, I always laughed at the lyrics. Well, except World Coming Down which wasn't about humor at all. I love that record.
