Peter Steele Died - RIP

Whew!

For a second there I thought this guy was gone

He needs to turn that frown upside down.

*Insert Playgirl joke here*

Damn, that sucks. Serious angry band that I have enjoyed many tunes in dark times. RIP.

At least we still have Justin Bieber

"As cute as a bunny sniffing a little flower."

Totally true story: My old band (they still exist, I retired) To Hell and Back were opening for Carnivore a couple of years ago. We're doing sound check and I start playing "Into the Void" by Sabbath. Steele is sitting at the bar, eating a pile of fried chicken. He gets up on his bar stool and yells, "NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO PLAY BASS BETTER THAN ME!" Chicken spittle flies everywhere as he yells. He jumps up on stage and demands that we play 'Paranoid' "RIGHT NOW!". We look at each other and I can sense that everyone is a bit scared - I mean, the guy looks like Teeth from those James Bond movies meets the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla from Road Warrior, for crying out loud! In the end we obliged, though poorly. He is singing along, chicken spittle flying every where still, I mean it is coating the mic at this point...he finishes, doesn't beat us up, gets off the stage and finishes his dinner at the bar...

did themontashu or psp write that article?

Dude's name is Steele and the keyboard player is Josh Silver.

Awesome

Those eastern Europeans really love their downer music.

Why can't they be more like this:

Good god that is some ****ty writing.

This is my first reply that I can remember to a RIP thread. I'm a huge Type O Negative fan. Truely bummed. They're one of the few bands that never made an album I didn't like start to finish.

Damn. Not their biggest fan, but I really liked Type O-...they seemed to have something that not many bands have, but is hard to express.

48 is too young to go

RIP

Toured with them back in '97. Cool guys.

RIP.

I visualized you saying that right after taking a last haul off a cigarette, dropping it on the ground, then saying the words through a cloud of second hand smoke.

It's like I was there.

That's how I think of Steele. How many people also know that he wrote most of the lyrics (which are pretty bad, actually) for Agnostic Front's "Cause For Alarm"?
