I agree, and I'm still sad he's no longer with us. I believe he had so much songwriting potential, but those demons called him in early.

You know, I always thought that besides his talent as a bassist, the actual magic on Pete was the effects he used... Boy his tone is quite unique!!

Love that tone!

As a kid I always thought to be in a band that you had to be "the best" at your particular instrument. It wasn't until I was about 1994 that I discovered TON & started watching VHS bootlegs (back in 1994) of them playing live at Lamour. When I saw Pete doing things like tuning during a song, stopping an entire song because they're out of tune, seeing the end of his strings not wound on the tuning post &.all cragly looking, saying things like "Does it sound terrible? This is as good as it's going to get (after stopping a song to tune) etc. - after all of that I thought "I can do that.". I started playing bass in 1991 but never dreamed I'd have the nerve/skill to play in a good band with gigs at large clubs, domes etc. So I ended up in a band in Seattle & instantly had gigs in locally & in Las Vegas, Denver, California + more. And this is an entire different story but ironically my brother had to work for TON & called me one night & put Peter on the phone with me. Pete gave me his cell phone number & said when the tour hits Seattle for me to call him and he'll get me & my wife in. Which he did and we sat in the green room talking to him (really, him telling stories making us laugh) & letting me work the fog machine during Black No. 1. Then we hung out after the show. When TON came back he did the same thing, called me, told me who to get the passes from & did the entire thing over again. I've played bass just about every day since 1991 but Pete was the one who gave me the nerve to join a band & not worrying about having to be perfect on stage with equipment mishaps, hitting a wrong note, being out of tune etc. Thank you P.S. & RIP.

I think he is way more underrated and his playing is much more technical than people give him credit for.

Good video. My older brother introduced me to Type O with Christian Woman and it totally grabbed me. I had the pleasure of seeing them a handful of times since 1999 when I was a young teen. The last time was in 2007 with Celtic Frost. I met Pete a couple of times and he gave me his pick, which I still have. Was really bummed when he died. Every October I go on a Type O binge cuz that's what Halloween month calls for. They were such a unique band with a distinct sound, as you demonstrated.

That huge down tuned wall of fuzz and chorus is easily duplicated, at least mechanically, but you'd have to have Petuh's hands, heart, and brain to truly duplicate it, which can't be done. With that having been said, this was an interesting and informative breakdown of one of the best and most unique bands of the 90s, for sure--their first album didn't leave my Walkman for *6 months straight*. What does that tell you?

One of the greats of heavy music.

Im a little bummed you didn't mention Carnivore but it was still a great video. I'd love to see Danny Lilker, DD Verni, or Les Claypool soon

They were active in a very bass oriented time. Lots of great bassists from that time. And goth metal was big too! Worked out well for them. Great band!

I've heard some of the biggest bands out the live...my all time favourite live experience was with TON in 1997. Unbelievable live band.

No body ever has any thing bad to say about Peter Steele 💚

Rest easy, Big Pete! Gone wayyyyyyyyyyyy too soon!

Trio's make some of the best bands ever !!!! #Dobermann

Eric Avery of Jane's Addicition is worth taking a peek

Bruce Foxton of the Jam while not a household name in the U.S deserve a Bass Habit video. Guitarist Paul Weller sometimes had trouble singing and playing early in his career so Bruce Foxton's almost lead like melodic playing became the bands secret weapon. Plus their is a huge Paul Mccartney influence to his playing and since someone referenced trio's The Jam were a Trio! Paul Weller Guitar Voc Bruce Foxton Bass Rick Buckler Drums.

If anyone has been trying to get the Peter Steele sound using plug-ins, I FINALLY found a way to do it! TH-U can actually pull it off!! They have the option to activate a Tweeter in their Bass Cab IRs. That is the missing ingredient for his sound. I tried Fractal, Helix and a few others to no avail but TH-U came through. Their DS-1 and CH-1 pedals sound killer too! If you add a second DS-1 with just a touch of Drive you can get the October Rust sound.

I love this series so much been super helpful bro. Could you do a queen's of the stone age episode!? One on Nick Oliveri or Mikey Shoes!

@Paul Del Bello • That was a very well done & very informative video explaining Peter (Ratajczyk) Steele’s bass tone & rig set up. As a long time bassist myself in which i’ve been playing for 31yrs now & i’m 46yrs old now & when i just thought about how long i’ve been playing bass for which as i just mentioned made my eyebrows raise a little & scratch my head lol😂 & thinking🤔by God does time ever fly & even more so when you get older but anyways Peter Steele is one of the reasons why i picked up the bass guitar. I remember back in high school a friend of mine had a bass guitar, a cheap one at that in which i think was a “Samick” & i remember the action on it was so high that you really had to work hard in pressing down the strings lol.

Very cool

Great breakdown as usual. Would love to see Geddy Lee, John McVie, Or Mike Inez soon!

Do you need a longer scale bass with thicker strings to play that low?

@johnbehan1526

3 жыл бұрын

I don't think you could go that low without thicker strings. Scale length is less important. I think Steele was partly going for playability; staying with 4 strings and down-tuning meant he could play some of those "thumb over" riffs easily. Longer-scale instruments would be presumably be harder to play, due to larger fret distances and a high action, sort of defeating the point. Honestly, if I were to go in this direction, I would just get a 5-string and put in the woodshed time to learn to play it. Far less trouble than completely setting up a 4-string (nut, truss rod, maybe a new bridge, maybe even hotter pickups...) and it's ultimately more versatile.
