It's truly about hair dye. Type O is so tragically underrated, they were such a good band. RIP Peter.

[@craigcassidy6078]

I always thought it was about certain type of girls who used the hair dye

[@chueysmama2622]

@@craigcassidy6078 It is, I just meant Black #1 IS hair dye.

Absolutely they didn't get the kudos they deserved...nice, grind to their music.

[@ricchansan]

My mom so badly wanted to see them live but the 4 times she tried fate intervened. And by fate i don`t mean "oops sold out" or "dang concert cancelled" i mean almost dying in a car crash, mother in law actually dying of cancer, getting stranded in 5ft of snow from a freak snow storm nobody predicted in the middle of nowhere and the one time she actually got as far as buying tickets she gets robbed and stabbed on the way to her car to drive to the concert. She was not meant to see them live.

[@FrethKindheart]

Goth metal is typically creepy, atmospheric and dark; horror themed. Type-O never took themselves too seriously, but they made the best goth album ever-October Rust.

[@gc5054]

October Rust is a Must Have Album! 🙌 🤘🔥

[@amygoodson-catlady]

October Rust is in my top 5 best albums ever...every song is so beautiful and moody. You should listen to Love You To Death...yes, it's gothy, but also romantic and sexy. And not heavy. Cuz TON can get heavy and gritty, too. And just a personal note, I always hung out w the guys when they played the west coast, and Peter Steele was a very sweet, funny guy. I miss him all the time.

Type O Negative's remake of Summer Breeze is one of the best crossover covers in history.

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

"Lurch" was one of his official nicknames (along with Green Giant, I think) on the After Dark DVD. So Lex called that one perfectly. :)

[@artbycarlgookins]

Type O is one of those bands that doesn't take themselves that seriously. The lead man is/was Peter Steele. He was known to be a hopeless romantic. Much of their music is borderline satirical. Black #1 is the hair dye. Goth girls won't leave the house with the roots of their hair showing. "Dye is black...black #1" I highly recommend "Christian Woman" and "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend". You will have a feel of what the drab four were about. 🤘😎

[@bruno3833]

[@DUDERMANx]

Sadly the music video cuts out so much of the song. The full song is over 11 minutes long

[@scottblinn]

So happy you two finally got to Type O Negative! RIP Peter Steele. A lot of great goth metal songs here to check out. Love You To Death, My Girlfriend's Girlfriend, Cinnamon Girl, Be My Druidess, are all great listens. Another band in the genre (and there are many great ones!) to check out is Sisters of Mercy. Temple of Love and More are good places to start.

[@joepaskowski9091]

The full version is definitely better but you guys got the gist of it-goth metal equal people dressed in black with black hair dye, giving off vampire vibes.

[@nomadluiz]

That was i thought

[@namegoeshereorhere5020]

It's about loving a Goth girl, who often dye their hair black. Type O are probably more satirical metal than anything else, they didn't mind making fun of themselves along with everything else.

[@Nightwalk444]

More like making fun of goth girls who are posers.

[@anastasia-fr1gn]

@@Nightwalk444 I always thought it was just poking some fun at the stereotypes of goth girls and the “hot goth” girl who would be completely into how they look.

gothic is an era in history with twisted architecture

[@user-zt1gl6px7i]

😂

[@vanhattfield8292]

Carnivore - "Retaliatiion" is one of my all time favorite albums and was where I was introduced to Peter Steele. The brief guitar solo at 3:53 in "Ground Zero Brooklyn" is one of my favorite from any band and any song, it grabbed me the first time I heard it and it has never let go. One of the band members of Type O Negative was asked why Steele changed his style and the music and he replied that it was 100% because of women, lol. He said that the chicks loved the style and look and that was the motivation for Type O Negative, lol.

[@Erock-bs9ur]

The thing that gets lost on people with this band is their sense of humor. They're not so much goth metal as they are a piss-take on goth.

[@mothygryphon9111]

These guys had the best senses of humor. Never thought of themselves as great artists but they defined goth metal in the late 90's and early 2000's. Peter Steele had an incredible voice. A natural bass with a 2 1/2 octave range and the music is the epitome of what goth metal should be. Atmospheric, personal, achy, dark, and beautiful. The melodies and harmonies Peter Steele wrote are insanely good. A few songs off of Bloody Kisses, the entire October Rust album, and many more after are just musical gems. I have such great memories surrounding listening to them and going to see them. They were a part of who I was in my 20s. I proposed to my wife on the El on the way to see them play with Cradle of Filth and Moonspell at the Riv in Chicago. Peter Steele gave darkness to the world when alive and a noticeable diminishment to it in his passing. I will never forget him. RIP Peter.

[@jody9721]

Gothic has origins in the medieval “dark ages” and refers to the Germanic Goths. In the early 80’s there was a goth movement in music with bands like Bauhaus. In the 90’s there was a big vampire fad and goth culture sort of erupted from that. This song, literally about hair dye. Most goths died their hair black and would not go it if their roots were showing. Type O are a super clever band and have a dark sense of humour. My fave song of theirs is Love You to Death.

[@tomaswallmur7616]

”You wanna go out cause its raining and blowing, You cant go out cause your Rooths are Showing. Dye em black.” Its about hair colour. Would love to see you react to Skinny Puppy - Killing game. Definately outside your comfort zone.

[@elliottwesterman7704]

You guys crack me up. That ending was great.

[@ext93]

You have to react to some death metal now that Lex brought it up. Start with the kings themselves: DEATH - "Zero Tolerance" or "Crystal Mountain" or "Empty Words." I think Brad will really enjoy breaking down their lyrics. DEATH will ease you into DM. It's not super heavy (it's still heavy) or with gorey lyrics, and the musicianship is master level 😈

[@deamonbear]

you should also give a listen to " I don't wanna be Me "

[@avestuart]

I interviewed Pete Steele in 1988 when he was in a hardcore band called Carnivore. I was 16, LOL. The record label gave me his phone number and when I initially called it went to his answering machine. The greeting was the sound of a symphony followed by Pete's booming, deep voice, "I'm not here right now, but if you leave your name and numba, i'll call you soon...." ".....REEEeeeeeaaaaaaaal sooooooon". He called back an hour later and talked with my mom for a while, LOL.

[@Zundfolge]

"Lovin' you is like lovin' the dead" ... I think she just laid there. I could swear I've heard a version of this song (maybe a live version) where one time he says the "it's like loving the dead" right before a break down, he says "its like f-ing the dead". I think its a post-breakup song because early in the song he's talking about how they're all about to go out on the town but her roots were showing so she called off their plans to re-dye her hair. So I think he's kinda sick of her.

[@vanhattfield8292]

"It's like fucking the dead" is what he says on the CD.

Long live Peter Steele. He was a legend. This is one of the best Halloween songs ever imo. Glad you guys got around to them. It’s interesting you say they’re “kinda chill” cuz this song and record is where they made their transition from doom thrash to this more romanticized goth hard rock. Much of their earlier stuff was a bit faster and darker, and very controversial. Everything after this was a bit lighter. They were truly unique tho. Their music completely represents my personality. Happy Halloween you two 🤘🏼

The absolute most blisteringly loud concert I have ever heard was Type O Negative at Austin City Limits on the World Coming Down tour. I had to put cigarette butts in my ears to tolerate it... it didn't help much. There's a good chance my hearing loss at 49 was from this concert way back when. BUT, I got Pete, Johnny, and Kenny's autographs on my cd liner and got to shake the BIG MAN'S hand in person and sit down with Kenny and shoot the shit backstage after the concert (that I craftily snuck in to). Josh had retired for the night, so I didn't get his signature :( Still, absolutely still one the best experiences of my life. RIP Greenman!
