Title: Type O Negative Post by: Izzy on October 08, 2005, 03:51:59 PM I was wondering if Peter Steele and co have any fans on this board?
Stumbled across them a few years back - absolutely awesome stuff. For those that don't know them they do goth-metal with considerable flair. Peter Steele is almost as crazy as Axl and they have a wicked sense of humour - the albums linear notes make for hilarious reading Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on October 08, 2005, 03:58:07 PM I was wondering if Peter Steele and co have any fans on this board?

Met the band a few times. They have fun poking fun at themselves and others. Actually know Kenny hickey the guitarist, he's given me some good guitar gear pointers. Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on October 08, 2005, 03:59:26 PM Oh yea, they only make albums about every 4 years. They just left Roadrunner records and went to SPV, so they have a new album coming out early next year. :beer:

They just left Roadrunner records and went to SPV, so they have a new album coming out early next year. :beer: Roadrunner seem the least evil of all the labels around - seems strange they'd leave. And they made 3 albums in the first 3 years of their life (u listening Axl?) Not a massive fan of their first album - kinda miss the Dracula vocals :'( Wots ur fav song/album? For me is would have to be the awesome October Rust, but BK, OR, WCD and LIKM are all sensational. Maybe they have a few too many filler/joke tracks or ''soundscapes'' as i heard theim described, but they always seem to manage some real classics. Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: mikegiuliana on October 08, 2005, 04:12:04 PM I've always liked Type o.. I loved christian woman and black number one.. Bloody kisses was my first album.. I need to get back into them it's been some years..

They take their time in the studio, Blood Kisses came out in which they got alot of success. ?Then they took their time with October Rust. ?My Favorite album is World Coming Down. ?My favorite song would either be In Praise of Baccus or the song "World Coming Down." ?It's no secret that they did not like Roadrunner. ?Roadrunner didn't promote them the way they needed to be promoted. ?It's good that TON signed a new deal with SPV, since Peters been griping for years about quitting. ?Petes in his mid -forties and getting a bit tired of touring. ?Check out the band "Carnivore" ?Petes pre-TON band. ?Awesome stuff, and real tongue-n-cheek lyrics. :beer: Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Izzy on October 08, 2005, 04:32:27 PM I would love to see them live
It seems World Coming down gets a bad press - but i think its stunning, incredibly intense - they weren't very happy when they wrote that album. Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on October 08, 2005, 04:45:54 PM Pete got out of a really long relationship which affected him and went through some addictions which are widely known during the WCD phase. They're the only band in which i would still travel to see. Them and Gov't Mule.
Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Izzy on October 09, 2005, 04:51:06 AM The last year Peter Steele has apparently disappeared from the lime light, I was reading interviews with the rest of the band they wouldn't say what was up but it looks like he's had massive problems with drugs again
Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Skeletor on October 09, 2005, 06:37:35 AM To me Type O Negative's pretty much just the album October Rust. Bloody Kisses is great, and I've even bought the latest one (Life is Killing Me), but I just don't find those albums that special.. it's good music, but that's it. October Rust on the other hand is something else, TON really reached their peak on that one. Classic stuff from start to finish, never gets old.

Well..if u miss out the three tracks where they talk or play distortion and the other tracks which aren't more than a min long..... :hihi: Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on October 10, 2005, 03:35:01 PM The last year Peter Steele has apparently disappeared from the lime light, I was reading interviews with the rest of the band they wouldn't say what was up but it looks like he's had massive problems with drugs again He's had some health problems. He actually was on the HBO show Oz awhile back playing an inmate. He is in an underground Vampire movie coming out soon. So he's been active, which is a good thing.

Lol - he's perfect for that, what with his Dracula vocals, i wouldn't be surprised if he drunk blood before a show either :hihi: Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Skeletor on October 11, 2005, 04:45:14 AM He actually was on the HBO show Oz awhile back playing an inmate. Awesome, I was wondering how I could've missed that, but after checking out IMDB it says he was only there for one show. Did he have any lines/did he do anything?

Awesome, I was wondering how I could've missed that, but after checking out IMDB it says he was only there for one show. Did he have any lines/did he do anything? It was kind of a quick shot of him and some other guys beating the shit out of someone. He says something along the lines of "Welcome to Oz bitch" or something like that. :rofl: Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on October 11, 2005, 11:53:51 AM I've only heard Christian woman and black number one, which I think are great songs, but once I heard a nirvana cover and that was really creepy and awful :no:, not that nirvana it's great but I think Type O' Negative could've done something better.
Anyway I haven't heard any record but I think I'm going to start now.

Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Skeletor on October 11, 2005, 01:10:32 PM Yeah I haven't heard of TON doing Nirvana either. Dick Purple, October Rust is a good Type O album to start with.
He says something along the lines of "Welcome to Oz bitch" or something like that. :rofl: Haha, brilliant! ;D I must get a hold of that episode..

Anyway I haven't heard any record but I think I'm going to start now. They haven't done any Nirvana covers.... The've done Smells Like Teen Spirit. Every show they do some covers. I was at one show they did Britney Spears "Hit Me Baby One More Time". It was awesome. They do some Sabbath, Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult Tons of different bands. "Hey Pete" is their version of Hendrix "Hey Joe", which is off of the album "Orgin of the Feces". they do a cover on every album as well. Hell, theres that Seals and Crofts song "Summer Breeze" on Bloody Kisses, Neil Youngs "Cinammon Girl" on Ocober Rust. they do a Beatles tune on World Coming Down.

I hope I haven't delete it though :-\ Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Izzy on March 25, 2007, 03:36:00 PM Well, we got a new album last week
Not impressed. Just seems to be a lot of noise - cant tell when one songs ends and another begins, their 'pop' sensibilities have abandoned them but who cares, they are touring and i got 2 tickets! Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: tim_m on March 25, 2007, 05:40:04 PM Its not too good? Thats a shame i really like them. I was hoping that it would be a good album.
Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Izzy on March 26, 2007, 01:49:39 PM Its not too good? Thats a shame i really like them. I was hoping that it would be a good album. indeed - there is nothing catchy about the album earlier offerings where so atmospheric, this is just loud noise....nothing memorable about it at all Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Skeletor on April 03, 2007, 01:01:39 PM this is just loud noise Listening to the album for the first time right now... I don't get your comment. I don't think it's that different to previous TON albums, so if you think this is noise, I'd expect you to think the same about the rest of their catalogue as well.

Its just an amazingly bland album, and the production struck me as really sub standard - what the hell is Peter saying half the time, i need the lyric booklet in hand.... Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Skeletor on April 03, 2007, 05:11:10 PM what the hell is Peter saying half the time, i need the lyric booklet in hand.... See that's what listening to death metal is good for - once you're able to make out what the guy from Cephalic Carnage is saying, Peter Steele is a piece of cake ;D Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Izzy on April 04, 2007, 03:41:15 PM what the hell is Peter saying half the time, i need the lyric booklet in hand....

Not their best ,but still good.
Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Skeletor on May 11, 2007, 10:20:46 AM Been listening to the new album a lot lately, I think it's a great record! I actually prefer it to Life Is Killing Me.
Maybe one of the reasons is kind of what Izzy was talking about there, the songs take a while to sink in, but than can also be a good thing. While Life Is Killing Me had some instant hits, it lacks in lasting value, in my opinion. A good effort by TON, again. edit: forgot to mention September Sun is an awesome song Title: Re: Type O Negative Post by: Izzy on May 11, 2007, 01:06:23 PM Been listening to the new album a lot lately, I think it's a great record!
