I could never get over Kenny's actual speaking voice to his singing. He's an amazing singer

[@arthurbishop3173]

He's a FANTASTIC storyteller too, isn't he??

[@danielbaugher826]

His backing vocals on Black no 1 and Christian Woman are my favorite , All Hallows’ Eve is cool but he tends to scream or project a little to much and Seventh Void as well , in my opinion, but who cares ? 😂

Right. His speaking voice is Columbo

I'm sorry in advance to make this statement, but I'm pretty sure that knowing that Josh is actually working as a EMT in NY, a lot of TON fans imagined putting themselves in danger on purpose in order to be picked up by him. :'3 But despite Kenny claims, he hasn't drawn a line with his previous activity. I remember him clearly commenting on demo tapes videos by Type O and giving a little backstory about them. But he could had been upset by Kenny's phonecall considering that his ex-wife didn't passed away in a peaceful context.

[@sabrinarosario7795]

I didn't know the story about his ex wife, is there a place I can read about it?

[@NarquelieNarmo]

​@@sabrinarosario7795 "These tracks were recorded onto a Maxell Studio MS-60 cassette tape by Peter in his home in Brooklyn. The tape was made not for Elizabeth as stated somewhere here as a response to a question, but for me to give as a Christmas present to my dying wife. She and I were friends of Peter's, and we thanked (and blamed) him, and the band, for our marriage. This tape (and some other rarities which shall with me to my grave), was made to try and bring a bit of peace and happiness to her sad heart in the Christmas season of 1997, as both Peter and I knew it would certainly be her last. This is the same reason he had provided me with the pre-production un-edited VHS tape (and artwork) of the material which would end up being After Dark. Those videos are available for viewing here on KZbin as well now." by JoshNotSilver here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2XYmK2Ag8-AiJI

Samuel Gillespie Der Untermensch by Type O Negative

[@adamarguin2172]

Der untermesch is a song dedicated to inner city useless unemployed scum who sell drugs, live on welfare and choose not to work. The chrois of the song: your a waste of life. And : social parasite. If progressive left wingers listen to the song it will instantly trigger them. I love it since I have no respect for people who CHOOSE not to work because of laziness or a victimhood mentality. Anyway it's a great song on the slow deep and hard album.

Peter didn't like too much change in his reality.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

I almost never listen to their older stuff. Which was pretty hard at first, especially around fall. It was very occult. Praise god that Peter found the path in the end and began walking with Christ. I don't care if this is a popular comment. I don't care if it's deleted. Iv'e been a fan since the 90's but i woke up to the evil behind the industry. Pete was trying to warn everyone with their latest album and people gave him crap for it. Kenny pretty much spells it out, you either were on board or you weren't even considered. You give your praises to Satan or you don't even get a foot in the door. I'm sure that's not a guarantee, but you don't move beyond a certain level without giving your praises to Satan and or the Occult. Dead Again was a warning, a confession, and a plea. 10 years after that album came out, i finally began to understand it and went on my own journey from Atheism to Christian. I pray others do the same as well, because we are most assuredly in the last days. God bless. P.S. No i didn't leave the one dislike lol. I still love Kenny and Johnny.

[@arthurbishop3173]

I started calling myself a Christian in 2010 after I had what I can only call a 'vision of Christ' after having surgery and then, while I was recovering from it, got food poisoning, and was coughing so much, that I dislodged a rib. I was at my chiropractor's waiting to be adjusted when the vision occurred (I still remember the date-1.22.10). Now BEFORE anyone reading starts (figuratively speaking here) throwing shit at me, let me finish: Over the ensuing years, I was going to church every week, reading some of the Bible, etc. However, as time went on, I found myself amazed at how judgmental some Christians were, others used Christianity to inflate their egos and become demigods (my wife's stepmother, for one), others were clique-ish and made their circle of friends (all Christians) seem like it was the only thing that existed, others were the first to dole out (Christian) advice WITHOUT ANY life experience...people half my age telling me how to live, like they were 50 or 60 years old and had lived 3 times longer than they really did...Christians correcting/admonishing me for being negative (realistic) about something yet didn't care an iota about the environment, throwing glass and aluminum into the garbage (I'm a recycle nazi, so that shit ALWAYS bothers me) without a care in the world, as if Christ is going to jump into the garbage and recycle it for them, or talking on cell phones the entire time as someone (me) waited on them at the store, and on and on. At this point, Christ's overall message of sacrifice (learn/force yourself to put others' needs first sometimes, WITHOUT expecting anything in return-it's good for your soul and your growth) is what I focus on, but it gets murky after that, esp when one is dealing with people on Earth. I've met non-Christians that were BETTER people than a lot of Christians I knew, so I'm always quick to remind MYSELF that the world is full of all kinds of people. HOW you treat them is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than what you think of them or what you think of their beliefs and life choices. ANYONE can have a great conversation with someone who has the same belief system/spiritual outlook. BUT...try treating someone with the COMPLETE OPPOSITE outlook on life and death (as you) with love and respect. Now that's something Christ would look highly upon imo.
