Type O Negative Interview with Gregor Mackintosh (Paradise Lost)

Gregor Mackintosh from Paradise Lost interviews Peter Steele and Josh Silver from Type O Negative, approx. 1993/1994.
Taken from an old VHS-Tape.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

I love the honesty people had back then, especially in the rock and metal scene. People didn't try to answer questions with witty, cliche, generic responses for social media attention. They just spoke their mind and answered with the way they truly felt. Peter Steele was such an interesting person who struggled all his life with depression and his confliction with his own personal beliefs in religion. I hope he finally found peace in his last moments on earth and if there is an afterlife, I hope he's happy. He is sorely missed.

[@superchuck3259]

He found Jesus and he was searching, you could here it in his words here. God can be in the Church, but God is not the Church, the Church is sinful people, it is hard to believe in sinful people!

[@xwing1977]

Glad I found this little gem of a video. Been a Paradise Lost fan for over 30 years, and they led me to discover Type O Negative. Amazing to see a young Greg interviewing 2 legends of Goth Rock - and now Greg is a legend himself, being a pioneer/creator of Gothic Metal. Great respect between these 3 - very humble guys. Sad that Pete passed away, but so happy with the legacy he left, inspiring other bands and artists to create their own great music in the Goth Rock/Metal scene.

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

They didn't originally consider themselves Goth, you know. Other people started calling them that. 💁

So, I want to thank to one who kept it for the fans through the years and share it with us! Thank you very much! I feel great!!!

+Irka Vampirka Well Peter never really changed too much, he did in lifestyle, but he was always the sarcastic but lovable asshole. So that's good, it's like the years didn't matter. When you saw Peter, you saw the same old Peter. Well I guess to those who met him.

Not like today.💚🌳😺🍷

[@andreaoliveira431]

Great Interview!!!!Really miss the old MTV!!!💚🤘

[@markusvampyre]

One of the reasons I became a Type O Negative fan was how Peter looked at religion, and as you can see, hated or just didn't believe in it. He believed more about nature and the world around him, than some organized business that uses guilt, fear and intimidation to believe in invisible people. Miss this band. Miss Peter, and will honor the opportunities I had to talk to Peter when he played live here in the AZ.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

Peter didn't hate religion, he had much confliction and struggled with his beliefs and his catholic mother. In the end Peter chose God and renounced his atheistic ways.

[@dookieshoe2905]

Just have to point out that homo sapians are _far_ from the only animal that hunts for sport and there are certain intelligent mammals that kill for emotional reasons. Just look at Dolphins, they have complex social and social behaviors that lead to not necessarily death in most cases but definitely they inflict pain and ostracize their fellow dolphins and other complex negative interactions that have nothing to do with immediate survival. How about our fellow primates, nothing more needs to be said really. Yeah I know, it's not really a big deal but I had to say something anyway. XD
