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.

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.

Important note: In the Race Wars song, the lynchpin verse is, "Muslims against Christians And the Arabs versus Jews The Catholics and Protestants No one wins we all lose" Peter would play the edge lord bit to get you to pay attention and then drop in a hint of wisdom just to throw in a wise crack to make you think he wasn't a serious person.

[@MantasticHams]

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.

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.

@@saturationstation1446 To be perfectly fair, that was a big part of Type O's whole gig. It was meant to be ridiculous to a point. And I can see how off-putting that is on the surface. 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.

[@PompousPicard1]

I see October Rust as a landmark record. The sound is lush, heavy, ethereal, and haunting. To this day, there’s nothing that sounds like it. Usually I don’t much care when celebrities die, but Pete’s death actually made me kinda sad. Glad to see these guys getting more attention, even if it feels like it’s coming a little late.

After one show my little sister who was a giant drunk went up to Pete Steele and took a bottle of wine out of his hand, she took a big long gulp and then went in to take another only spit it all over him telling him "you have shit taste wine". The band and the crew all started laughing hysterically at that. My sister as evil as she is was about 2 to 2½ feet shorter than him and weighed 100 lb soaking wet. I thought it was going to be yet another time that I had to save her from a pummelling. Pete Steele was actually very nice about it. I got the feeling that he might have been interested in her, many men who like to have that crazy lady dangerous s€x but I can swooped in and brought her back to where we were sitting in the bar with others.

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💚💚💚💚 *shoutout to Carnivore btw

Red Water and Everything Dies are some of the most depressing songs I've ever heard, and the thing about their songs is that their depressing songs feel like the weight of the whole world falling on my shoulders, as opposed to others that feel more lonely (like Mad World).

[@LordMcKrakenVonLittleBits]

Peter was a rare gem. My uncle had been friends with him since the Carnivore days. Last time I saw them was when they toured with Lacuna Coil when they came to Baton Rouge. Great consistently odd band that came out at the right place and time.

[@xkinsey3831]

Type O were unique on so many fronts but most of all the songwriting on their albums is what stood out most to me. I genuinely don't know how they manage to be so catchy and so heavy and experimental at the same time. Every album sounded different, World Coming Down is like pure Gothic Doom metal, but you can sing along to it. Then they put Life Is Killing Me out, and its a total 180, its pop all the way through, but it still sounds like them and its still so catchy.

Also, shout out to Steele’s awesome bass tone. It’s the reason they always sounded so good.

[@patrickkleinbauer3346]

Exactly! And not only the bass TONE, but his bass lines are intricate, very interesting and beautifully complex...plus the guy could SING!!! As a bass player myself, I find him among the most underrated genius bass players of all time! One of the very best there was, in my opinion....It is about time we recognise that!

[@sirgodua]

The other day you said that you are burned out from making these kind of 'Wikipedia summaries', but in this particular case I think you added your touch to it and I would presume that you also enjoyed making this video as much as I did watching it and listening to you putting things into perspective. Thanks

[@joshabreu1156]

I'm sure it helps too that Type o Negative is an interesting band, whether you like them or not. Hell I only really like a handful of their songs but they're interesting dudes. It's hard to get into it when you're talking about Papa Roach

[@kidzanarkand]

I second this sentiment. Great video woth great context setting towards the end and Pete's upbringing and convincing the viewer that that part really should be considered when remembering the band and Pete steel. Love your vids finn, ignore the haters bud, make content that you are happy with!!!

[@B0nezee]

I wish Peter was still around, but I'm sure he is at peace with himself now.

[@kodokushi4701]

Thank you for making this. Type O is one of my favorites! RIP Pete! ❤

[@Rambletambleforever]

I met type o in Peoria Illinois. Really really nice guys. I have met a lot of artists over there years and that was one of the best experiences. Peter was really down to earth. My heart was pumping meeting him and he could not have been a more down to earth friendly guy. What a voice RIP

Bloody kisses and Life is killing me are masterpieces of music. A Finnish band called Sentenced, awesome band, are heavily indluenced by type o negative, check them out! Very interesting topic, especially when you shed light on the era this bands grew up in

[@midnightgreen8319]

Sentenced was a fantastic band!!

[@PompousPicard1]

I remember getting to see them on Halloween night, in Pittsburgh. It was maybe around 2001. They played an awesome set, complete with the Beatles medley and everything. Especially after Pete’s death, I was really happy to have had that experience.

[@toecutter]

I saw them twice in PGH. At Metropol and The M. (Same place, different venue name.)

[@tickandslug]

I was never the biggest fan of type o negative but I have been saying for years that their influence in the "goth mommy" scene is unparalleled.

[@Vlad-fm3gk]

Thank me later-Peter Steele

[@kattykatrina]

@@Vlad-fm3gk idk the goth mommy thing is so sexually weird and i dont think it should of ever been hyped

[@Vlad-fm3gk]

@kattykatrina and that's your opinion, only weird part is the mommy part to me. Women liked a felon who turned into a supermodel and an underage kid from target a few years back. I won't be told that liking adult big tiddy/booty tattooed women who also like metal is wrong

[@evilincoln23]

I remember years ago lending a flash drive to a friend for a school project and not realizing my sister had downloaded the photos from Pete’s play girl spread on it. That was an awkward school day after that.

[@sheilaeggenberger5357]

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.

[@yeagerzombie]

For better or for worse I find Pete to be a relatable guy. His music definitely inspired me and it is unfortunate that he is gone.

[@nealcrabtree3647]

The only musician death that wholeheartedly hurt me was Pete's.

[@Complication84]

I was devastated when Pete died. I have been a Type O fan since I was in middle school as an edgy goth kid lol. They were working on their next album when he died. It is sad that we will never get to hear it. RIP green man.

[@aaronbazil]

Unreal! Thanks for the plug, now I get to check them out for the first time! ☺️ And one personal note/ idea that I gleaned with while watching this : The right people are always watching, even when you think nobody is paying attention. Great stuff, man, thank you!

[@bt0694]

Cinnamon Girl is what I thought of right away when I saw Type O Negative in the title

[@IamDruidess]

Good summary of the trajectory of Type-O! They were my introduction into metal when ever since I heard 'Love You to Death' on a movie soundtrack when I was in my early teens. I didn't know what hit me! Please do more videos on Goth and Industrial genres. Something about Ministry/Al Jorgensen would be great if you have not yet done one.

[@skyefox]

Saw them at Rock Am Ring in 07, rain caused a weather delay and so Josh Silver mooned us for 10 minutes while we were waiting. Excellent show.

[@timbenson5156]

Met Type-O in 1997 during their tour with Ozzy and Sepultura. Peter was so damn kind and actually let us hang out with them during their soundcheck backstage. One of the best memories from a band that is easily top 5 all time for me.

[@permafrost2064]

World Coming Down was the first Type O record I bought and it's still my favorite. It's so dark and depressing but it I think that's what makes it so good, it's real. I'm very thankful I got to see them when they were touring for Dead Again, this band has had a big impact on me in many ways, I was really bummed when Pete passed.

[@anthonyzbikowski529]

WCD got me through some of my darkest times. Peter Steel's death is probably the only musician, or person of note, that has ever truly impacted me personally.

[@stetsonwittenborn4899]

World coming down is a masterpiece. Such a beautiful record with the catchiest melodies. Absolutely heavy.

[@kennethmajland]

Love the Carnivore period. Peter once answered in a Danish tv interview whether he had a role model, that Poul from the Beatles could play fantastic bass while he sang to the guitar...

[@Hammond_Bay]

Really appreciate how much personal opinion and introspection you added to this video. I think the thing that drew me to this channel originally was your openness and emotional intelligence. I want more videos like this!

[@avestuart]

I interviewed Pete Steele via telephone when I was about 16 around 1987 or so when I lived in Michigan. He was still in the band Carnivore and "Retaliation" had just been released. I was late getting in, when I arrived home I found my mother talking to him on the phone, LOL.

[@dennisrounds1996]

Peter formed Sun-Zero after Carnivore. Finding that the name was already taken (and they had all gotten the tattoo) they needed to come up with another name, hence Type O Negative

[@dennisrounds1996]

Of course it is.

[@DK-Design]

That's the first of the 3 albums that helped me turn my life around. The End of all Things to Come was second, Supremacy was the last one. I would not be here if not for them.

[@SavaFiend]

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

[@jarrodkoot7029]

These are bomb man. This is what brought me to the channel and I love that you're still doing it. I know you said it felt like compiling a wiki page but I've never been a huge type o fan but I've read up on them before and this still felt more informative and easily digestable

[@charliethealmighty2074]

Best punk rock MBA in a while! Great video finn!

[@pudd66]

Discovered them with "Bloody Kisses" when it came out. "Summer Breeze" blew my mind. I was 27 at the time, and thought it was the greatest cover I had ever heard. I still feel that way, along with "Superstar" by Sonic Youth. Still listen to Type O Negative on a more than regular basis to this day. I feel I understood Pete's humour and use of sarcasm and irony. But yes, they would be cancelled if they were around today. And that would have probably still led to Pete's fate.

‘Life is Killing Me’ was on my iPhone a lot after my dad passed away a few years ago. It helped me cope with my loss.

A goth gf introduced me to Bloody Kisses, and then October Rust came out, and to this day it’s probably a top 5 all time album for me.

[@DavidGravesExists]

I was working nights at a hotel in Portland when he came in during one of his last tours. A bottle of wine in each hand, talking shit to everyone, getting thrown out of the hotel bar. He crashed down in one of the chairs in the front desk area at like 2am and said, "I don't think I should do dis shit anymore". I told him I agreed and that he played an important role in my rebellious teenage years but that I wanted to see him stick around to talk shit about younger musicians 20 years from now. "I'd rather disappear". And then he stumbled out toward his room. This was October of 2008.

[@KrisPSouls9258]

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!
