Peter Steele has passed away passed away. I really enjoy your reviews I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan and teachings about how the voice works. You do great work.

[@michaelclarke4009]

doesnt understand how goth and romance can co-exist, is aware of vampires lol. i know you put it together, but i lol'd. try she wants revenge with "tear you apart" for a similar vibe. sexy but haunting and kind of dangerous.

[@TheLynneee]

I looove you!!!!. I am in my 60's and was soul,northern soul, motown girl growing up. Raised on Top of the Pops (TOTP) in UK. I got into opera in my 20's as my mum loved opera. Now I am getting older my musical tastes are changing. I watched couple of voice teachers reacting, but I love your channel as you are teaching me about music as well the voice. I am getting to understand and appreciate metal for what it is, and not just a lot of noise as I felt when I was younger. I have watched a couple of video's on your performances. I was surprised at you voice (good surprise. Your voice is amazing).

[@SteveDoesEverything]

From What I understand about Pete, is he was a hopeless romantic. He literally smothered girls with his love and compassion which ended up with them leaving him. So this song is actually bearing his soul of being desperate for the affection of a woman and to actually love him back.

[@waterhorse5199]

Yes. Johnny said when he fell, he fell hard. Some women find that to be a turn off (the dumb young ones, of course!).😂 He needed someone who fell in love with his soul, not his persona. He never found that. Not to mention I think he was kind of a firecracker to handle, which is typical for artists. The right brain dominance makes them eccentric and unpredictable.

[@_msthings_]

Apparently Peter had a really intense relationship end badly. I think (I could be wrong.) this is the woman who was sort of flirting with some guy and Peter assaulted him and got himself sent to Rikers. Again, I'm not entirely sure if this was the reason, but I know he had a relationship end badly and it affected him for a long time. She is actually in the dvd video with the band's commentary. They don't speak kindly of her.

[@waterhorse5199]

@@_msthings_ He cheated on her. And she cheated on him. Both were at fault. Peter couldn’t take it that she left him for another guy. That’s why he assaulted him.

Kenny and Johnny said when Peter was struggling with substance abuse and depression, they literally were going to the studio and putting songs together as they went along. It was like pulling teeth because Peter was not in a good head space.

Every song on the October Rust album is a banger. I still listen to it at least weekly, despite the fact that it’s almost 26 years old. I was fortunate enough to have gotten to see Type O live in ‘97 and even caught Josh and Johnny (keyboards, drums) at a local pool hall and played several games with them. Type O is just one of those bands whose members compliment one another so perfectly, it could never work if you replaced even one of them. Pete’s sound, using the distortion on the bass guitar, is so unique that you can identify it in almost any mix. Pete left this world far too soon and although they have a large and loyal fan base, I don’t feel that they ever reached the heights that they could have or got the critical recognition they deserve.

[@nickwallette6201]

It's true. My favorite is Bad Ground. haha Seriously, this album won me over. A friend of mine played their earlier stuff a LOT. I would give in and let him play it in my car while we drove around, but I just didn't get it. Then this album came out, and he knew it was something special, so he talked it up with that "just listen to it... trust me... you're going to like this." I .. didn't hate it. Quite a few years later, I had a strong urge to listen to it, so I bought my own copy and was hit with that 1000 lb hammer of nostalgia. I really love how bands in the late 90s would pull from the saccharine sweet melodic sensibilities of the 80s, and the rough edges of metal and grunge from that time. It's a fantastic blend. And I'm a huge sucker for 90s ROMplers, so the MIDI piano drenched in atmospheric reverb... * mwah * Nothing sounds like this anymore, and I miss it so so much.

I have a friend that's a local rock station DJ, and back in the 90's she gave me the October Rust CD. I threw it on my stack of CD's and forgot about until I was bored and gave it a listen. I was completely struck by the sound of the band, their uniqueness. 'Love You to Death' wasn't even my favorite song off the CD, but I grew to love it over the years. I'm sorry I never got to see the band live, but I'm sorry that I didn't see a lot of bands live. For some reason I thought that youth would last forever...8\

Despite all that moody, dark atmosphere in their songs, Peter was one of the funniest guys you could imagine, he could make everyone around laughing with tears. He was a rascal, with a very dark sense of humor, but a big, big heart for his friends, band mates and fans. He battled with addictions a lot and tragically after he was sober, he died. Not of drugs, but very big guys like Peter are always prone to various health problems. RIP Green Man, I still miss you.

[@missyjoy4798]

He died of sepsis after he had diverticulitis. It was initially reported he died of a heart issue, I forget exactly. But years later, his family released a statement it was actually sepsis from diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is pretty common. I had it last year. But if it isn't caught and treated in time, it can lead to abscess, perforation, fistula, sepsis. So sad in his case it got that bad.

Which goes to show, we're all kind of a wonderfully messy blend of strong and weak, bold and timid, powerful and fragile -- but most of us are too scared to show it.

Also his keyboard player, and co-songwriter, said that a lot of effort went into writing songs to a "specific type of girl" that Peter had fallen for more than once. They were skilled musicians that were very aware of the use of major and minor keys while trying to set very specific mood changes. This band set the hook for me on first listen (somewhere around 1995) while I was in the Marine Corps. They will always be somewhere in my playlist.
