Type O Negative - All Hallows Eve

[@runeghost4264]

Pete, the Green Man , trades his soul to bring back his long lost love. Type O Negative for ever. Miss you Pete.

[@vladtheinhaler93]

If Peter Steele is the Green Man, does that make Peter Green the Man of Steel?!

[@chuckycheezburger3313]

Yep,pretty much this.Creepy Green Light is also about his love rising from the grave...Its darkly iromantic.A love worth selling your soul for...A love so strong that Death herself cannot end it...

[@rodrigorocha7282]

This song is absolutely amazing. The guitar riff, the drum tempo, the bass line, the lyrics.... Maybe one of my TON's top 10. Despite of any Vin and Sori's opinions about their songs, I'm really glad to see a lot of TON songs on their channel. It's not what happen on the others. Thank you very much for this. This band deserves more.

[@rockerfella8122]

Peter cast Sori under his spell early on so that helped 😅😅

[@liminal_entity1331]

Green was Pete's favourite colour. That's why everything Type O is green.

[@thecentralscrutinizer5730]

Peter we miss you brother!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤 An ode to Peters favorite holiday 🎃🎃🎃🎃

[@guitarchugs9191]

I noticed you guys always refer to the story in the lyrics as who Pete actually was. Most of my friends and family knew him, he was a funny, sarcastic, enjoyable asshole straight outa Brooklyn. He didn’t take most of his “romantic” songs seriously, they were satirical. He just wanted to get laid lol. But the music was still fucking sick and heavy

[@rodrigorocha7282]

Yeah. Exactly. Even if you just watch him on interviews it's possible understand his true personality.

[@alghul66]

@@rodrigorocha7282 and in those interviewes he was romantic after all, despite all of those sarcasm.

[@MainelyW212]

Laid... and pay the phone bill... 💚😎😂

[@ajx117]

He wasn't an asshole, he was a lover of all living things.

[@Threegreentails]

Actually if you read or listen to his interwiews you could tell that he was a pretty romantic person. Its tricky to say which one of Type o negative songs are satire and which are serious but its safe to assume that more serious and poetic sounding lyrics like anesthesia, all hallows even and love you to death are all pretty serious and dumb hilarious shit like wolf moon, kill all the white people, unsecesfully coping with the natural beauty of infidelity and i like goils are satire

[@gregpolo5229]

He's not killing her. The first verse is about the context: it's basically the concept of a Hallows Eve. There's fire, there's smoke, there's rituals and fests everywhere. In the middle of that, there's the guy (could be a girl too) making a sacrifice, offering HIS OWN blood. As the song goes on, we realize that the person singing is very used to this particular ritual, because he does that same thing every year. His offerings are a way to bring her back for one more night, on all Hallows Eve.

[@E.J.Vulgary]

The purpose of the green was because Peter Steele (RIP) worked for the parks department in NYC in the late 80s, early 90s. He loved that job, and the color suited what type of negative was going for as a theme in there beginnings. It suited them very well and the parks department used that type of green for there workers.

[@stevemiller1047]

3:56 that look when you know your girl has gone goth..

[@rafaelgoncalves2308]

It's called the "Peter Steele Effect"

[@mikeabney2527]

She looked absolutely gorgeous right there

[@syntheticsleep]

I don't think he's killing her in the song, I think she's being burned as a witch and he sells his soul to bring her back using witchcraft. Happy Halloween!

[@Ooofaa-Maa]

“Creepy Green Light” is a good Type O Halloween song too!

[@ClickToPreview]

Both off the "World Coming Down" album!

[@joshalan5125]

Dude, that is my favorite Type O song; its what got me into them. I love the riffing in the verses; absolutely sick!

[@samantharobinson3108]

"St Lucifer hear me praying to thee," ... Vin: "NOPE." Lmao Idk why but that cracked me tf up

[@Buffalodan66]

Said forever... SORI is a closet Goth. Love it. Accept it, embrace it.

[@dr.phibesinred6066]

She seems quite taken by that song... mesmerized... aroused... Or maybe it's Peter Steele. Vin is right, TON do have a certain influence on women. Not just artistically, but sexually. Watch her during the video, she's almost... well, you know what I mean. I like TON musically, but as a man I don't get these special vibes. There must be something going on with the female psyche. They used to say Rasputin had that effect on women. And TON have an album with him on the cover, so there's a strange connection.

[@DethronerX]

Why every Typo song is great? It's not a question, it's a statement : D

[@koolkat2867]

Right?! haters goin hate lol

[@intergalacticmedium3125]

Don't be jealous vin ... It's unbecoming 😂

[@geoffboultwood7566]

Wolfmoon : October Rust

[@mattykotz7219]

Green was Peter's favorite color. It's prominent in all of Type O's artwork.

[@koolkat2867]

I wasn't sure if he said Green or Great lol. Took three time I heard Green.

[@realBlakeX]

lol, just started listening to this song tonight after reacting to it last year. It's always really enjoyable to watch you guys react to something I've heard, since having the channel means I can't always watch every one of your videos. Good stuff.

[@steev11]

On a side note, you guys might not realize but Peter often shares lead singing duties with the guitar player Kenny. This song is a good example. Kenny sings the higher parts. Peter does sing higher in songs but often times the higher raspier parts are Kenny. Most people don’t realize that and think it is all Peter. Peter still wrote everything but Kenny sang some of it.

[@ClickToPreview]

Yep I just posted about this. Kenny Hickey is highly underrated.

[@rickkline8627]

This information is incorrect. Pete sang everything in the studio. Even the high stuff. Even the high stuff...

[@philipjobe2883]

This entire album is totally worth reactions. This is hands down my favorite song of theirs

[@mattykotz7219]

I have to add. His lyrics on this song are based upon the different perspectives of Halloween. From the pagan/druid versions of sacrifice appeasing the gods to ensure survival during the harsh winter to the Christian version of it being about the night that the Devil walks the earth. The change in season and the coming winter has always been a influence on ancient civilizations. Especially in northern climates like Europe where his heritage lays. He also compiled it with the loss of loves past as well as the loss, in death, of his family members. It's a multifaceted approach to the change in season and life itself. Just my take. 🤘😋

[@karebearkorner]

Vin is straight up Jelly lol. Peter could have tapped into this female psyche... yep.

[@rickkline8627]

I met Pete a few times in his prime, everyone was in awe of his presence. It’s like he wasn’t real or he was some titan from Greek mythology.

[@koolkat2867]

lol Ikr, his wifey seems to be enjoying it...

[@bryanvanhorn6218]

Pantone 369 to be exact. It was Peter's favorite color.

[@jaydespirited]

He is basically sacrificing himself to bring back someone he loved. Basically hes willing to kill himself at her grave to bring her back to life. Just sayin😜

[@realBlakeX]

This is legit the song that made me a fan of Type O.

[@steev11]

Peter Steele was a trash truck driver in Brooklyn. The trash trucks were that weird green color and he always loved it and tried to use it in the artwork and themes. He wrote Black No 1 in his trash truck sitting under the Brooklyn bridge in line at the Hamilton Transfer Station while he was waiting to empty his full truck. Peter was a mad genius. I got to meet him and the band a few times. He was always so nice and funny as hell. I am glad you guys did this song .

[@AaronScutt]

One of my favorites! First song I ever learned on Bass...DO NOT SLEEP ON THE BASS PARTS. That goes without saying for Pete though.

[@soundlimit]

R.i.p. Peter, what a band it was. Still is...... thx guys for another great upload \m/

[@handsomestik]

Sori loves Peter

[@alghul66]

Not necessary on sexual context. I am a Man and I love Peter without any sexual context. IT is some kind od adoration, but not blind. He had beautiful voice and poet spirit which I simply adore because IT hits hard almost all of my feelings. Nothing more... Nothing less. His voice makes me more maskuline potential, I am not hot at him, I am more hot myself with his voice because it resembles me that I can be received similar by women. Because I have similar spirit to Peter. That's all of my love for him🙂. I can travestate his lyrics in Christian Woman: Peter steele looks like me😁 that's my mechanism

[@electronicweasel9083]

Yep

[@MannaMusicOfficial]

Analyzing Type O songs will send you down infinite rabbit holes. Take it for what it is and love it.

[@mishukk78]

LOL how could you get it so wrong? He's not killing her, he is sacrificing himself to bring her back.

[@hershadowdomain5603]

Both my husband and myself have been fans of Type O since around 1993. Their fan base is largely female, I suppose, but that's with any band that has attractive male band members. However, both of my sons (who are now adults) are avid fans of the band as well. We all went to see them in concert together in 2007. I think a lot of people miss the tongue in cheek attitude and humor in their songs. They laughed at themselves and at the world, in general. They had serious music as well, but this is not one of those songs. It's meant to be spooky fun...and he's not talking about killing and sacrificing a girl. He's sacrificing himself to bring her back to life. :)

[@katpocalypsemeow4554]

Samhain, pronounced "sow-win", was a festival for welcoming in the harvest and the dark half of the year. It was also a time when the veil that seperates the physical world from the spiritual was thought to be particularly thin, potentially allowing you a glimpse in the realm of the gods or to be able to contact loved ones who had passed. In 609 CE Pope Boniface IV invented All Saints Day which was a day to honor christian saints and martyrs and was celebrated on May 13. In the mid eigth century Pope Gregory III moved it to November 1st to appropriate the festival as part of the church's recruitment campaign. They found it was fairly effective to recruit by letting people keep their traditions but reapropriate them to chirstian themes. The day was most commonly known as All Hallows Day. As such the day before became known as All Hallows Evening (which was over time shortened to Halloween), the evening before All Hallows Day and became a time to honor everyone else who had passed. It was said that if the dead got enough prayers they could be leave purgatory or even hell and go to heaven. Oh and Samhain does in fact translate to "Summers End"

[@TroubledTurnip]

Sori's face when Vin is talking about Peter tapping into the female psyche had me rolling 😂

[@fookinjitterz]

lmao had to go back to see that for myself.

[@rockerfella8122]

Was glad to see you did this one, didn't expect it overnight. Peter splits the vocals with the guitarist, Kenny Hickey,on this one. A heavy Beatles influence in the arrangement I feel. Type O's "Halloween In Heaven" next year!!

[@nicholasframpton2983]

Kinda has a similar sound to "she's so heavy" .

[@calebjosefy1498]

This was one of my dads fav bands growing up. Pretty cool to be reminded of this. Been watching yalls channel for awhile. Thank you for reviving the memory’s I had with my pops.

YES! My favorite Type O song! 💚🖤🔥

Happy Halloween Vin, Sori and Family!!!

[@guitarchugs9191]

FUCK YESSSS! This is my favorite Type O song, and the first one I heard when I was just a little kid, been in love since

[@morning_staar]

please do more type o negative reactions they have so many good songs !!!

[@alghul66]

12:06 that Sori's look🤭😁😁😁 hhahahaaah, Vin saw it all throuh😉🤭 "probably"🤣🤣🤣🤣 and Sori's look several seconds later😁😁😁 12:40 and 12:45 lol

[@Shockster151]

I literally woke up singing this song. And then I see this reaction.

[@ClickToPreview]

'Tis the season!

[@MainelyW212]

RIP PETER!!!!!! 💚

[@Krispy-y4u]

Peter was a poet in my opinion. He definitely had his on writing style. I could listen to him read the phone book lol

[@Devilbunnieluz]

She's already dead. He's digging her up and sacrificing himself and soul for her to come back.

[@WarMachine550]

The sacrifice is not the girl, it's Pete himself. His love is dead and he's selling his soul to bring her back. One of my absolute favorite type o songs.

[@soconfused8031]

Ultimate classic halloween song

[@mikeabney2527]

How am I 4 weeks late for this? This is my all-time favorite type of negative song. It's the most beautiful love song ever written.

[@williamsavage]

Vin, you goofed my dude. All saints was a co-opt of existing pagan holidays.

[@petesteele4720]

Vin and sori you guys are really great keep up the good work

[@paulietheterrible]

Cool you did this one

[@alexanderhalter6741]

Amazing Song, Beautiful Album, thank you Pete! We miss you.

[@CLTCMNDR]

"Cruel be the wind as it quells my words " Gnar....

[@happyburial]

Great video! After abstaining from reaction videos for a while, I am currently on a binge, and I keep returning to your channel. The sincere discussion after the reaction itself is just something I really enjoy.

[@nathan4919]

He's the Green Man Vin

[@dangerx7697]

As the song implies... Peter Steele was the Green Man. He wore all kinds of green, he made up the Vinland flag which is basically the Norway flag but green and that was their symbol and backdrop on stage oh, and of course he insisted everything on every album cover... shall be green, and not just any green... All album covers are the same tone green

[@mikeabney2527]

And yeah the whole song is about him bringing her back to life not killing her or sacrificing her

[@chris22121]

Love this song!!!!

[@dangerx7697]

He's the goth metal Barry White... a lot of chicks dig it, and he is greatly missed for sure

[@sanderinNZ78]

He offers his own blood and his soul to get her back. He didn't kill her.

[@itakeeee22225]

Amazing

[@HammeredReactions]

Yes!! 🎃🤘🏼

[@fookinjitterz]

It's funny watching Vin writhing in his seat knowing peter is making his woman moist from the beyond and there's nothing he can do. You can tell every TON reaction he seems profoundly uncomfortable lmao

[@aaronnichols8159]

Day stripper. The Type O Beatles cover. It was awesome

[@malakasquad2214]

Happy Halloween, baby! 🎃 🎃 🎃

[@MrHotrodz69]

It’s all about the voice and his height

[@MrHotrodz69]

And his hair

[@moridin462]

[@bryandaniel2281]

Vin is just envious of Peter's dark power.

[@panagiotiszygouras6441]

This is a classic gothic song : temple of love by Sisters Of Mercy (1992)

[@wolverine669]

According to Pete Steele, one of the the logo colors was chosen to be green instead of red is because green is the opposite of red, thus it is his favorite color and call him the Green Man.

[@edupiqueras1518]

KING DIAMOND - WELCOME HOME

[@maatias.herrera]

You have to reat to these type o songs: Too Late: Frozen and Wolf Moon

[@ClickToPreview]

Too late for apologies UHH!

[@helmuthsorellana]

Thx

[@kalerug]

Your next Type O Negative reaction should be An Ode To Locksmiths. It's a very interesting song lyrically, and it's off of Dead Again, which I feel is their most underrated album.

[@derekmarshman6154]

I don't think he sacrificed her. I think she died. He's sacrificing HIMSELF to bring her back.

[@TheMetalMender]

I think you missed this one big time. This entire album as a whole is about depression and death. This is the last song on the original album. I've always understood this as Pete dragged his girl down with him (metaphorically speaking) and its the only one he feels bad about and wants to reverse. The hallows eve part is tongue and cheek making fun of goth chicks. You gotta understand, the songs on this album were very seldom performed live due to the emotions they re-evoked in Peter.

[@paganofthenorth448]

This song always sounded liked from the beginning that this was a ritual to bring her back.

[@ccc0909]

You'll have to do the song 'green man' to find out why it's all green.

[@twimine]

Its the whole Gorh scene - girls love that genre

[@twimine]

And vampire imagery

[@michaelray6482]

Peters favorite color was green

[@droiduser9633]

Seen Type o Negative live 8 times, met them twice, hung out once! I have 2 ex girlfriends with that damn 1995 Playgirl! Carnivore was Peter's previous band (RIP Peter!). If possible... "World wars III and IV" by Carnivore!

[@gregpolo5229]

There's an interview where Peter explains why everything is black and green on the band colors. The reason is, obviously, a joke. He says that the green is there to show the people that there's nothing obvious to expect from Type O Negative. In his words, being goth and with all that vampiresque stuff, red would be main choice, but they decided to go in a different direction. Besides that, there's the fact that Peter liked the green color, and speaking specifically about the visual branding of the band it was a sucessful decision. Even now, more than ten years after their split, Type O is known for the attitude, the music and the colors.

[@alghul66]

All is green in ton because of pete's fascination of vinland flag invented by him🙂: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinland_flag, vinland was called america's northcoast discovered by vikings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinland. And of course, the most loved pete's color was.... Green😉 as somebody commented below

[@45banshee]

One of my favorite songs from the World Coming Down album. I'm not sure what the significance of all the green color is, it might be just cause it was someone's or more favorite color in the band. Theres a song called The Green Man off October Rust record. Yes Type does have quite a large female fanbase. Only band who might have a larger female fanbase is H.I.M.

[@vladtheimpaler7214]

Jealous boyfriend review. 😂

[@RJD491]

Type o was just not Peter. Kenny shared a lot of the vocal parts. You guys should look into Kenny's other band SEVENTH VOID and SILVER TOMB.

[@matthewbarstow2173]

Did y'all do type o negative gravitational constant?

[@miker7301]

Vin's comment about having a large female fanbase, it's funny because I don't know one female in person who likes Type O, it's all my guy friends and I who love Type O.

[@Krispy-y4u]

🙋🙋🙋🙋my favorite band🙋🙋🙋🙋

[@DScin13]

Thanks for this one guys! I literally laughed out loud at ya'lls different facial reactions during the song. Sorry to say, but Vin you absolutely were considered a "Goth" if you were in NYC wearing fingernail polish and black trench coats (I suspect, eyeliner also) in the 90's. If you enjoyed the guitar aspect of the song I recommend "Burnt Flowers Fallen" off of October Rust. Lastly, I live in Brooklyn. My profile pic was taken at Pete's favorite bar (I think he may have been there the night it was taken) and have dabbled in the NYC rock scene. I have had a few coworkers and friends of Pete theorize Type O's green color was initially due to being a Jets fan. Happy Halloween! \,,/

If only for a short time, to dance with those who art gone, once a year.

[@koolkat2867]

Watch some of Type O/Peter Steele interviews . Peter is actually really funny, smart loved nature and quite a gentleman not the typical "goth" stereotype you speak of . I know a lot of goth since the 80s act angsty but Peter really did have Mental Health issues but I read he didn't take meds because it would effect his writing music. Been a Typo fan since the 90s love and miss Peter

[@JDutton13]

Anyone who says goth women are depressed never had a sleepover with one. No depression whatsoever

[@christopherluvsaidan67]

This song is about a girl who's dead that he desires and that he uses black magic to resurrect her from the dead.

[@timothyhoughton2511]

You should do a Halloween reaction of the full album of King Diamonds THEM or ABIGAIL
