Have you heard TON's version of Paranoid/Black Sabbath? I promise you gooselumps pluss pluss :-) Don't remember what record they do Paranoid, but he sings like a god
Nope, I disagree, As much as I love the guy, it's fair to say Kenny is messy with the rhythm and the tone, he goes too fast and his bands try to compensate...But he does not keep the tempo right on Are you afraid. It's cool to have energy and stage presence, I give you that, but not at the expense of the musicality.
Pete’s voice shines throughout here. The low B or C at the start, the melody, then his deep banshee screams in Gravity, rolling his Rs..all while beatin the shit out of a bass. Legendary
He reaches a A1 in this live version, and being a bass baritone, just like Peter, I can confirm that its not a register that we can achieve all the time with this awesome quality.
Saw these guys on tour with Cradle of Filth in the early 2000's in OKC. Pete was drinking red wine on stage while performing, playing bass one-handed. Everyone was wearing prison jumpsuits and bandannas. Kenny had a cage around his keyboard rig that he kept pulling and ripping at while screaming and generally throwing a tantrum. In hearing/reading about the period after the fact, I realize how little of it was an act, how rough things were with Pete at this point. The thing is, though, they fucking KILLED. I'm not letting my fanboy opinion in here: they didn't miss a note, and while Pete might have been drunk, high, and bored, he sure as shit didn't sound like it. He ripped the tunes with feeling. Made the up-tempo theatrics of Cradle seem like a high school play. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had a chance to see them.
I was at that show too, man! 2004 I believe it was, at the Coca Cola center. Great fucking show and I too count myself lucky to have seen these guys. Did they do two sets that night? I remember seeing them play and then leaving and the security guard asking "dont you guys wanna see Type O negative play?". Anyway, perfect fucking band.
I saw them around same time(2001-2002) at a club in Iowa call the Pig Pen; It was fucking awesome. I was surprised at the smaller size of the venue because I saw them at a much larger venue in Indianapolis. But the club in Iowa is a fan's dream. They were accessible after the show. My friends and I got our cd cases autographed. The band was so kind and down to earth. They sat at the bar and drank with us(after the bar closed). I was blown away... I didn't have any trouble talking to Josh, Johnny and Kenny, but I couldn't seem to squeak out a word to Peter whom I was dying to talk to. If only I could have a do over with part of that night.
On a further note, i managed to get to the second row at the concert in Ludwigsburg that time. First row was impossible, because the most beautiful girls of germany where banging there. RIP Pete
I'm just a fireball. At Christmas! I'm just a fireball. I'm just a fireball. At Christmas! I'm just a fireball. At Christmas! - Spoken like a true poet. Lyrical genius he was.
I got a problem, A problem with hate. I can't go on raving this way. A cold steel hand that won't let go. Acid filled thoughts, out of control. I built myself a nice little cage, with bars of anger and a lock of rage. I can't help askin', "Who's got the key?" when I know damn well, IT'S ME!
I wish I could've meet Peter at least once in my life...so sad I discovered ToN 5 years ago and he helped me through hard times... RIP gentle giant, you are dead but not forgotten.
My favorite band of all time and one of my favorite two tunes of all time. Not a day goes by that I don't think about Peter. RIP Green Man . .you are gone but never, ever forgotten.
I remember the first time I saw em live was at The Odeon in Cleveland with Static X and Dope in '98...Man there was so much bass when they played that the rafters were literally visibly oscillating and my nads had that peculiar feeling one gets on a roller coaster. I expected a vampire to come out, and I was suprised that Pete sounded more like Sly Stone than Dracula, it was just epic. That show also got me into Static X. Only comparable show I saw was Pantera/anthrax. Man those were the days.
RIP my man, you made me laugh so much in my misery, there were times when I could only listen to Type - O because only they understood...I will really miss you guys, you were the soundtrack to my survival.
This is one of the best Type o live performances on tape, and also a great live song for them. It really uses the best live-dynamics in Peters voice. More of these please!
Who here was at this concert!!?? Never got to see them live. But met Pete breifly... Always wanted to see them live. 🖤💚💔 Never will get too. You guys are so lucky!!
found them on MTv when I was a kid. I will forever be sad I never got to see them live. Alll of my friends have seen their favorite band live, and it saddens me that I never will. R.I.P Peter.
hell yeah still shivers my skin . miss type o negative so much. never got to see them due to an evil controlling partner this band helped me survive that.x
Now this is a Type O video. Just them kicking ass! They were an experience to see live and I consider myself quite lucky. He threw a pumpkin in the crowd.
well, he doesn't wanna be there. He's just there for you, it's great you are thankful, the green man coping with stage fright is a present for all of us.
Saw them after October Rust came out. Got to meet Peter before the show. Got to meet Josh during the Manhole set. Type O is a once in a lifetime band. Miss you terribly Green Man.
+Jaw the Loyal ME TOOO :) In Long Beach CA. 1996 Twas my first Type O experience. Saw them 2xs later with Celtic Frost in Hollywierd (both times pregnant) ...my son drumming along to the double bass in womb (from the balcony) and is now a drummer - go figure :) He loves Type O too @ 8 yrs old. Still and forever will be my all time Favorite band. RIP Peter
Me too. State college. I don’t even think 500 were there. It was so cool. My first beverage I ever had was red wine with Peter Steele and I got to see drain and Peter said they always have their stuff out.
I managed to see every tour from Bloody Kisses to Dead Again. They played Florida pretty heavily. Saw them in night clubs in Fort Myers (with Life Of Agony and God Lives Under Water), Ozzfest, St. Petersburg, Orlando, but the best shows were ALWAYS at Masquerade in downtown Tampa (Ybor).
Type O Negative is more than just a band.They STILL ARE a voice of both bullies and the bullied,lovers and haters,of joy and remorse. Fuck death,Peter is in Valhalla,drinking and fucking,never to end.
One year later and there still is nothing for us to replace what we lost in Pete's death. I miss him, I miss the anticipation of the next Type O masterpiece, I miss the autumn shows on the East Coast.......thanks for everything Pete. RIP
@SuicideSelfExpress Actually, he's doing a tour of the universe with Ronnie James Dio. They'll be back to save us metal heads when the apocalypse happens.
now im not afraid, someone paranoid like me is already over there thank pete for help us in cruel times whith your sarcasm and that kind of musik we loved since that time we heard u the first time, rest in peace
Greatest band ever. Just saw them this week in Buffalo. They played a bunch of stuff from Origin & SDH as well as getting a bunch of Rust in there, fucking awsome set. It started snowing onstage for Too Late : Frozen. I'm still not over it.
many thanx angelique...! 4 your letter! He s my Idol, he take me to heal my wrong way with his Music and his style... He speak my soulbeat with his e-bass. I begin learning e-bass right now 4 tribute to him !!!
why do people click on the 'thumb down' ? i dont understand it. if u dont like Type O negative, why are you watching this in the first place? and if you DO like them .... why give a thumb down? it has to be trolls
I started to listen o Type O Negative in a time when most of the new metal bands were trying to sound the same. Is one of the best times of my life, when I was able to escape reality thanks to peter Steele and company, I will always miss Pete, because people so honest like him are so hard to find. God bless You Pete!.
