Type O Negative: The Rise & Fall of the Band, Death of Peter Steele

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

This is truly one of the few bands which doesn't really have any peers. They sounded so unlike all other bands that they're basically a genre by themselves.

[@BeersBikesandTheFlag]

Good comment!!

[@clayyytonnn153]

It's hard to describe their sound without leaving some element out. The way they could inject sarcasm and dark humor into their music is unparalleled and added so much to the experience.

[@darkartsleather5586]

Totally. Like Tool or SOAD. Love them or hate them, they ARE their sound.

[@blkkde]

[@r.h.8537]

@@RighteousBrother ooh, Everyone talks about Bloody Kisses and don’t get me wrong it is an amazing album, but October Rust and World Coming Down are great!

I feel so badly for Peter because you know he was an empath and couldn't turn it off. When you're that massive, imposing, and beautiful people assume you're a winner-takes-all egomaniac but he just wanted to be Loved. At the very least he will be Remembered.

At first, Peter went along with the whole "getting girls" thing, at least as far as television appearances went. His appearance on Jerry Springer is iconic. Lol. After October Rust though, things definitely started to fall apart for him and the band, albeit very slowly. Very sad how singers like he and Prince died the way they did. *RIP 🖤💚💜*

[@PerrySkyePhoenix]

As an empath, we have to learn how to "turn it off" or protect ourselves. Peter Steele was a survivor. He was strong, and maybe too good for this world.

One of the things that made the Drab Four stand out from most other bands is that their covers of other artists' songs all sounded like original TON material rather than just being lazy copies. Their versions of Hey Joe, Paranoid, Black Sabbath, Summer Breeze, Cinnamon Girl, Light My Fire etc. are all masterpieces in my book.

[@cloudbloom]

Their Day Tripper Beatles medley is one of my favorites, and I can't stand the Beatles haha

[@Evil-Never-Dies]

Their Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath cover is the best cover of all time (in my opinion).

[@MithrilMagic]

@@cloudbloom I was looking for someone to mention that cover! It’s amazing! I loved their spin on it. I’m a huge Beatles fan and a huge TON fan. I know a lot of people who will listen to one or the other but refuse to expose themselves to all music. And I believe that is one of the things that makes for a great band. Even if you don’t want to play “covers”, listening to different types of artists gives you a broader spectrum for experimentation. That’s why some bands go stale. Sorry, I rambled there. Hahaha!

Great band! Saw them twice and they were amazing live. I was right up front for the show when they opened for Coal Chamber. Between songs, the stage would fade to black and they had a big McDonald's sign lit. I think half the people there didn't know, or understand them. Loved the Black Sabbath covers. I always thought they were one of the very few bands that could cover Sabbath and really pull it off. Peter was such a funny guy too, at least on stage. When I heard about his passing, I literally did not believe it for about a week. I really thought it was a hoax. RIP

Oh man, this brings up sweet memories... throughout my mid 90s teenage years I was completely and utterly OBSESSED with Type O Negative. I started listening to them in '94 when they had just released that absolute banger of an album called Bloody Kisses; and when they finally announced their third album October Rust, I literally counted the days leading up to the release... I've never been so goddamn stoked for an album release in my entire life, lol! It didn't dissapoint, to say the least. 😁- I felt kind of lukewarm about World Coming Down tbh... you could hear that they started getting tired at that point; it just didn't have that fresh spark anymore. But one thing's for sure, I will always be fond of their early stuff!

I think he gave off this whole “serious vampire” mood but he really didn’t take himself too seriously and I would have loved to just sat down and talked with him. The interviews of the band together make me laugh so hard! I wanted to go see them when I was around 16. My cousin worked for a radio station and he got 4 tickets including backstage passes. My dad would never ever stop me from experiencing live music. But I had a massive poster of Peter on my bedroom wall. My dad said “absolutely not. You’re not going to that concert. And absolutely not going backstage.” I would have 💯 ran away with him forever. 😂 “Anesthesia” is one of my favorite songs of all time.

One of the best bands to see live, met Pete many times over the years, such a nice guy, 'World Coming Down' is in my top 10 albums, luckily I got to see them one last time before Pete died (Bogarts, Cincinnati, Ohio, the second to last show they ever died before Steele passed, Josh was at paramedic school, so unfortunately, he was not present), seeing the entire venue along with all of the other bands on the bill sing Black No.1 was incredible, it was by far the best performance they ever gave in my experience, I don't think people realize to this day how many bands TON influenced or how technical those guys were, such a shame they are longer a thing and Pete is no longer with us.

ToN was a genre of their very own. Peter was not afraid to bear his soul. Such an underrated band in my opinion. 💚🍂🕯🥀

[@typedeaf]

ToN/Carnivore was the only band I felt I truly related to. All the tongue-in-cheek, cynicism, schizophrenia, angst, depression, longing, lusting, self-loathing, intolerance, and self-medication. Going from thrash-punk blasts of double kick to funeral march tempos with that warm fuzzy bass droning. Kenny starting every song with whailing feeback, and Josh adding the special touch to keep everything atmospheric. Trade offs between the Green Man and Wolf Boy on the vocals. There we nights where I thought Id lose my mind, if the Glass Walls of Limbo didnt reel me back. You are so missed.

@Talena Likewise, not sure who your profiler is but she's nice all the same.

I was at work (3rd shift) when I got the call about Peterov! I was "Noooooo!!! Did he finally do it? Oh man!" Thinking hed took his own life. Went that day and over withdrew my account for a handle of Gilby's Gin. Had to drink and rock TON that day. All alone in my apartment

[@williamsussman7343]

I just got into TON in the last couple years but they have become one of my absolute favorite bands of all time

[@johnchedsey1306]

Type O's sense of humor was greatly overlooked by so many. I think they managed a fine legacy and a sound that no one will ever quite duplicate. And now that I'm thinking about it, I can't believe it's been almost 30 years since I picked up a copy of Bloody Kisses (though my version didn't have kittens on the cover for some strange reason)

2:48 correction this was a fake live recording the hostile crowd was just added humor

[@andyjg13]

One of my favorite live acts. I took every opportunity to see them when they came around.

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

I listen to everything from Benny Goodman to Parliament Funkadelic to Knocked Loose to Type-O and. Type-O-Negative will always be one of my favorite bands, ever since the first time i heard the song "Haunted".

This big tall man had a heart of gold. He wasn't mean or a bully he was a shy empathetic man with God given talent. He needed drugs and alcohol to deal with his social life and the band playing live. Like many of us in life. Great band and original.

[@jeffbridges6110]

They were one-of-a-kind. I started listening to them back when I was 15 in 93. They wrote a lot of stuff people could relate to.

still miss Peter Steele, man i miss him

[@animalwillopus79]

None More Negative!!!!

[@pequenaframbuesa]

What I love the most about the band in overall is that their sound was not only unique but also so diverse! True talent.

I just looked up the lead singer I just found this group a few weeks ago I love them. Now I see he is dead. Wtf. I’m literally in tears right now. I wanted to see them play. Hoping too. I know they had a lot of music years ago but I found September Sun and had some hope. Well I guess not 😢

I was actually in Peter's Apartments here in Scranton the morning after he passed away. Apparently his cat was sick and he didn't want to go to the hospital because of this which led to his departure and the cat was still in the freezer the next day was very surprised at how small his place was and kind of blew my mind to have his Jeep parked in front of my house for a while.

The cat was "still in the freezer"?

[@shannonpatrick77]

@@aurorakarabua-stysiak6233 Thats the part that threw me

[@joeymorvant161]

Love Type O! Also, their logo was so simple: An o with a minus sign in the center!

[@sarahwegman4981]

Still my favorite band. RIP

[@BLuvsDesigns]

I still rock out to this band. They are still very much alive . Rip Peter. It was a pleasure to have met you.

Years ago I was seeing this girl. I had never really listen to type o negative before. Always a band that I’d see when I was younger in metal magazines but only knew the one song “my girlfriends girlfriend” I didn’t pay much attention to them. Until me and this girl started talking music. She put them on. It was like someone kicked in a door in my head. It was like discovering gold Or something? They quickly become one of my favorites, and still are to This day.
