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.

Steele’s voice is so amazing. That low deep voice with the music always reminds me of halloween. “Its all hallow’s eve, the moon is full.”
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.

When I worked at concerts, I met just about everyone and Peter Steele was one of the nicest people. I loved their music! RIP Peter!

Missing you still after 12 years Pete, still feels like you left just yesterday. you know there's a great band in Heaven.
I viewed them as a novelty when they first hit the scene and was reminded of them by an article in a guitar magazine about Life is Killing Me.

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!

October Rust is an absolute banger of an album. Great song after great song after great song. I remember immediately buying it after hearing My Girlfriend's Girlfriend on Q101 shortly after its release.
I love Type O. LOVE THEM. Peter Steele was amazing. Their sound was awesome. I will forever listen to them. Pete was so funny! His interviews are bonkers. He was goofy and witty and clever. 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.
None More Negative!!!!
My favorite band of all time. Thanks for making a video on them, the Casket Crew lives on even if the green man has passed🙏
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.

Their music always found a way to really hit the mark. Anesthesia off Life is killing me still hits. RIP Peter
October Rust is a masterpiece of musicianship. Tossing the first 2 tracks (for being comedic relief), this album is one of the few that requires no skipping, nor searching for a good song. I bought it the day it came out, and I still listen to it on the regular. Thank you, Drab Four, for this magnum opus. R.I.P. Peter.

The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.
A friend introduced me to ToN when Bloody Kisses came out. He'd already introduced me to The Black Crowes and Marilyn Manson, but ToN blew me away. When October Rust came out, that album and Peter Steele became my muses. I wrote some of my best dark, gothic-like poetry during that time. I still listen to it whenever I am in a darkling mood to inspire poetry and short stories. RIP Peter, my eternal muse.

Peter Steele was one of a Kind R.I.P
In my top 5 band list. Huge influence on my song writing and vocals.
I’ll always love this band & Peter Steele was a really unique person - he looked like some kind of Nordic deity & such a great voice! A boyfriend of mine in the 90s introduced me to their music - those were great times, just hanging out, driving around listening to awesome rock bands 😎❤️🎶 I truly miss those days! I know how hard depression is having had battles with it my whole life & it still hurts that Pete struggled so much - he was very appreciated & missed! 💖
I’ve been wanting a recreation of Type O in some form ever since they’ve disbanded. Fortunately, back in ‘17, a new band came out called October Noir that replicates the closest sound to Type O. I highly recommend checking them out. Kenny’s band SilverTomb is also pretty good too, more of a doom metal sound though as opposed to the goth metal sound
I was lucky enough to see Type O 13 times. I saw them in CT, NY, Mass, and RI. I saw Carnivore when they had the reunion. When Pete died I mourned. Pete was the only musician I have ever mourned over. I knew a bouncer at Toads place in New Haven in CT. When Type O played there he got me in to meet Pete. I will never forget that. RIP Pete. The loss of his creative genius is a tragedy.
A gentle Giant and a God among men. Peter Steele paved the way, and created a beautifully executed genere of music, and the industry is nothing without him. Every song he created is unique in his personaity and personal life; to this day his voice is the only one I can play all day every day and never get tired of his melodies. I've met his friends, and they spoke nothing but kind words. A beautiful man and soul taken too soon. RIP Petrus, you are sorely missed.
TM - I'ma 65 yo Granny that loves type o! I was a RN/ paramedic since 84. I have mad respect for Josh! He has such a kind face and eyes, love his shaven look. Blessings to you from Texas.
The first time Type O played in my area, Albany, NY they played at the South Troy Community Center...lol...the next time they came upstate they played at an actual club. I believe it was 1993 or '94 and I met Peter that night. He politely said hello and shook my hand. I was dumbfounded and I don't think I said anything more than thank you. He was so intimidating because of his size!!! Unfortunately for me because I had a HUGE crush on him, he met my best friend and was smitten...she shook his hand too, but he leaned in and gave her a kiss...lucky bitch!!! I was crushed...

I say again-- The MOST underrated band in history
Oh Peter, the world is not the same without you. You truly were one of a kind.
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.
Sal Abruscato was Type O's original drummer, not Johnny Kelly. Sal left after Bloody Kisses and was replaced by Johnny Kelly during the October Rust album cycle who then became the band's permanent drummer. Sheesh, guy!
World Coming Down saw me through some dark years where my life was on ice. Nothing changed. Just a weird pause of two years where I would listen to this album and watch the moon. I felt an affinity with the bleak humour and intelligence of Pete's writing but I'm glad the crush subsided. I guess I would have drank myself to death a lot faster had I met a man like him. It's slower now. 💙
Peter Steele is a God. No man I've ever heard could quite sing rock and metal like he could. *RIP Green Man. 🖤💚*
This band and LOA all got me through those HARRRDDD deep and dark depression teen years. TON, LOA & Biohazard I link all together! My BFF introduced them all to me. Along with Agnostic Front, Orange 9mm and Dog eat Dog
I was fortunite enough to see Type O live at Harpo's in Detroit, what a great night. Loved Peter's sense of humor and his music is so underrated. Thank you so much for making this video. Cheers.

I got to meet Peter Steele and the members of Type O Negative at a 'record store meet & greet' (remember those??? -ha) back in Jan 1997 on the October Rust tour in Peoria, IL. Type O Negative was already a favorite band of mine but I was so young (14 years old) that my parents wouldn't let me go to the show the following night w/Drain STH and Sister Machine Gun. My mom was cool enough to let me, my younger brother, and my friend Todd go to the meet & greet to get our cds signed (Todd even brought a hand-held tape recorder and asked each member a random stupid question)...that tape has since been lost unfortunately (the house where it was stored was condemned and torn down -haha). Type O Negative will always be a one of the greatest to me and has influenced my own recording projects over the years...if anyone is interested, look up Somnolence 'Reverence' ('As Midgard Weeps' 2008 album) or Remnants of Industry 'The Last Of Autumn's Leaves' (2022) on KZread. -Devon
I remember seeing ToN alongside The Misfits and Megadeth on a Halloween night back in the 90's. I had not heard of the band at that time, but I became a fan in that instant. They uniqueness of that outfit, from the creepy green motif to the melodic yet heavy sounding tunes, then of course there was Peter's vocals, it was a fresh flavor to me and one that never got old. For those of you reading this who haven't heard Denis Pauna yet, go check out his channel. He has been keeping that unique ToN sound alive in very untraditional but astounding ways. If you close your eyes, it's like you're listening to a new Type O song.
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
Love your channel!!
Origin of the Feces wasn't a real live concert! It was a fake crowd! It was meant to be a joke!

Not to the record label it wasn't 🤣
One of the best bands to come out of the 90s. R.I.P Peter.

@Talena Likewise, not sure who your profiler is but she's nice all the same.
One of my favorite live acts. I took every opportunity to see them when they came around.
A Coworker introduced me to TO- last Halloween, and I was legitimately upset that I didn't hear about them sooner.
