"You probably noticed me playing bass one-handed there. Well, with a face as ugly as mine, you learn to do a lot of things one-handed..." - Peter Steele
But he WASN'T UGLY 😔 he WAS A BEAUTIFUL, LOST SOUL, that had more talent that any one person has in their pinky! I can empathise as to why he was so damn self-deprecating and having constant feelings of un-worthiness...I stand in AWE of this GIANT of a BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL MAN....I find myself becoming lost and wondering, what if, what if he was told, when it counted, that he had a life that would have purpose and meaning, what if, he was told when it counted, that he was going to be a heart-breaker, what if, he was told he was WORTHY.......what if
I disagree. This version is good but I think the production value on the albums is just incredible. In the album version for this song, Pete's voice is gentler in the beginning, deeper in the horse part, and Kenny's singing for the freezing part is chilling.
@@greggrozdanis5737 I agree-the album version is better, largely b/c the production (think: Josh) is better, making the sound(s) clearer. I like the slower version (on the album), and you can really appreciate how much Kenny's guitar and Peter's bass are exactly together. The level of distortion is so incredibly high, that TON can only truly be appreciated at slower speeds and max distortion, 2 of the things that separate them from everyone else. Plus, the little things Josh throws in (through his keyboard playing) are easily heard on the album whereas live, some of that stuff is completely lost in the sound.
1:35-1:46 that bass sound is Josh playing. 1:47 that buzzsaw like sound is Pete pick scraping back into playing. That's the secret weapon of Type O: they have essentially two basses & guitars in Josh. Josh is a massive part of the bands sound & all that low end they have. So awesome!
This is by far my favorite version of this song...I think Peter's singing is much more melodic and heartfelt than that of Kenny's version on the album. He sounds like he's really pleading.
They are criminally underrated. I love everything about Type O Negative. It's a band i wish i could have experienced live. Peter had a beautiful, haunted voice to him. When late September and October roll around, its 80% of what i listen to. Fall and TYpe O Negative just go together.
i love how josh has an idgaf attitude in all interviews but you can clearly see through that when he performs and his extreme passion for playing in TON. like hes always jamming
Here he is using a custom bass with an Alder body, FGI humbucker and bass sustainer system. HIs pedals are a boss ds1, boss chorus ensemble, and a boss dd3. In his rack he has a Furman Power condtioner(not sure what model), Korg tuner, Peavey Max Preamp which has a graphic eq on it as well as a parametric eq(his tone is just Bass and treble cranked with the mids scooped out), and discontinued Peavey power amps. He also uses Dean Markley round wound strings 50-110 gauge,and a a bass peizo system
Type O Negative was an American Gothic Metal band formed in New York City in 1989 by Peter Steele(Lead, Vocals, Bass), Kenny Hickey(Guitar, Backing Vocals), Josh Silver(Keyboards, Backing Vocals), and Sal Abruscato(Drums, Percussion) who was later replaced by Johnny Kelly. On April 14, 2010, Lead vocalist, bassist and principal songwriter Peter Steele died, reportedly from heart failure brought on by an aortic aneurysm. Members Kenny Hickey and Johnny Kelly stated in an interview with a French music magazine: Rock Hard "that the band would not continue." I know why, Peter Steele had an amazing voice and he sang like nobody else that I have ever heard. Type O Negative is awesome and Music never dies! Rock in Peace Peter Steele! 🤘🏻🖤🎸🖤😎
Its really interesting watching Peter play bass. It feels like he doesn't hold it as an instrument but more as a weapon. His hands are huge as well! Would love play a brand og bass like that someday.
Kenny sings a big part of this song on the album. Kenny is so awesome. Since Lord Petrus' decline, my appreciation for Kenny's abilities has increased.
Actually, Kenny only sings during the chanting parts of the song. The slow breakdown in the middle is sung by Peter with voices effects put on by Josh.
In response to Eyalbass, he used high output pickups into a moderately driven bass amp running with a number of horns in the cab, resulting in his rather unique raunchy tone. He often used a little chorus or flange, but the effect you are referring to is likely the Fernandes bass sustainer(like the guitar sustainer they make), as far as I know it it was a prototype and he had the only one, the little bass solo is running on the 5th harmonic mode.
In the shadow of the light from a black sun - Frigid statue standing icy blue and numb - Where are the frost giants I've begged for protection? - I'm freezing. Cold winter winds that chill my heart with sleet & snow - Not from the north come to this glacial abode - But from your dimension cryogenic limbo. I'm freezing.

There will never be another Peter Steele, such an inspiration. You never realise how great this band is unless you actually sit down and listen to their songs with a bit of patience and just immerse yourself
Isn't this part of TON at Bizarre 1999? They were and Pete was top of the game - consistently the best live performance if you watch as many of the clips as possible And you can work out the set list by the sweat on Pete's shirt - great live gig
Ive seen Many bands when i lived in Tallinn ive been to so many conserts turning the time like 20 and i can say this live preformance is absolutley insane ive seen cradle of filth and Batushka AS well live with thou Shell of death from Estonia ive listened to type o negative in mu Early years but well by all the not mainstream bands ive seen live they are probably the BEST and they have been to Tallinn aswell
They are gorgeous, talented, very complementary to each other - a real team. How did it happen? Why death cut off a piece of the whole? Terrible injustice.
Actually you are all wrong. Where as he did abuse cocaine for a long time, at the time of his death he was clean and had been for a good while. The coroner report was that he died from a ruptured colon which isn't usually a fatal condition but the toxins had made their way to his heart causing his big beautiful heart to stop beating in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Leaving us all here on earth with huge holes in our hearts. He really was too beautiful for this world. But we are all fortunate to have had him as long as we did. I know he is in a much much better place and I hope it's the one he always dreamed of.
Shay Carver, thank you for the answer. I'm agree with your opinion about better world for 100%! Sorry for my English. Hope, you will understand my words right.
@PeriodicTableware I don't know that you ever "get over it". Music is powerful, Type O's was and is so powerful because of the genuine emotion behind it. They aren't some artist to those who they moved. They fell more like friends than anything if that makes sense. I've found it to be true for myself that when you feel connected through music they feel like a part of you. Peter was an exceptional person, one I'm grateful for. Wishing you the best.
All hail the green man, the one who sounds like lemmy and plays like mcartney and sings so fine that i would like to drink a tea with him.There's no one like him and there will never be. Never. Love you Pete❤
@Buckyfanatic It makes perfect sense. They've been with me longer than anyone else, and they had a huge influence on me growing up. I don't think I'd be the same person I am without their "support" and that connection. I'm both overjoyed and saddened to find someone who feels the same way I do about Type O, because you feel the connection, but you also feel the loss.
@PeriodicTableware Music for me has been the medium in which I find balance in life. My memories have music attached to them instead of people. All I can say is don't let go of the connection, it's still as important today as it was when it started. I wish I could say I didn't feel the loss. It's been so hard these last few months, Pete had a big part in forming my love of music, like you I miss him dearly and constantly. I have lost a few hero's both musically and in my family. Hugs
Too late for apologies, uh It's too late It's too late It's too late One, two, three, four! So you've come to say you're very sorry "Won't happen again - forgive me?" Time will not heal these wounds And I'm bleeding, bleeding (Because of you) It's too late It's too late It's too late It's too late Too late for apologies, uh Was everything we had just a joke? I've run out of patience, tears and hope Love doesn't conquer all And I'm screaming, screaming (Because of you) It's too late It's too late It's too late It's too late Too late for apologies, uh -chanting- In the shadow of the light from a black sun Frigid statue standing icy blue and numb Where are the frost giants I've begged for protection? I'm freezing -chanting- Cold winter winds that chill my heart with sleet and snow Not from the north come to this glacial abode But from your dimension cryogenic limbo I'm freezing Frozen, frozen, frozen Frozen, frozen, frozen Frozen, frozen, frozen Frozen, frozen, frozen I'm freezing Too late for apologies, uh It's too late It's too late It's too late It's too late Five, six, seven, eight! It's too late (Too late) It's too late (Too late) It's too late (Too late, too late) It's too late (Too late, too late) Too late for apologies, uh, uh
@kmsmith1210 I know, terribly underrated. I've been listening to them for years, and they're actually my favorite band. I never really took seeing them live seriously because I just don't do concerts, and because I always thought I could, you know, see them some time in the future. Not anymore. I cried when he died.
i saw them at slims in san francisco, ca on 4-18-07 IT SWAS AWESOME. They played We Hate Everyone LIVE FINALLY, been trying to hear that song live foir years....wish someone would seel a bootleg of the 07 tour on ebay =/
@kmsmith1210 This is actually the first time I've had to deal with losing a... well, an idol. These guys were there for me more than my family ever was. I don't know how long it will be before I'm actually over it, or if that's even possible.
@anniebabeblues yes he was clean when he died, but the damage was done. Between Coke, alcohol and steroid abuse over the years, his cardiovascular system was wrecked. There was also an Anomaly in his heart that may have contributed to his death. you reap what you sow, it is sad but we all forge our own destiny as we go.
I've always wondered if steroids helped him bulk up in the 90s. Do you have any proof or references that he did in fact use steroids?? I haven't been able to find any info online about it, and I've never heard anyone say it in all the interviews I've heard about him/his life/death.
