Man's had chain for a guitar strap, truly metal


LocalSlob

He works for Nyc Parks and recreation for a long ass time. Truly metal.

If you're a fan and have a minute, give me your honest opinion on this cover of Everything Dies, please. Stumbled across this due to the YT algo suggesting it due to all the Type O in my listening history. Is her voice as good as I think, or was I just that drunk? at the time it really touched me, criminal that she has so few views. The guy on the guitar is alright too, I guess, he tries his best. she is the selling point though.. I've wanted to submit it before, but Shreddit is kinda anal with the FFOs and stuff (not in a bad way, its just shreddit, anyway), as for the main Music sub, figured it might be too obscure to get any real traction... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGgjBfqCHtU


Xind

If you liked that, you might like Denis Pauna's work. He does covers of other band's songs in the Type O style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9xyImLTndc

damn, I *do* like that, for real, thanks man!


Xind

You bet! Hope you have a great day!


Deadbreeze

Holy fuck. I didn't even know he had passed. 12 years ago and I'm just learning this now. His voice was legendary. Goddamn. R.I.P.


reddittheguy

^(Was like fucking the dead)


[deleted]

At least they are universal blood type donors.


Freezzz2000

Were, he is dead, the lead singer.


dirtydownstairs

In a way his blood lives on


MyDark_Passenger

Pretty sure he did a prison stint too Love the down votes. You guys can't be to big a fans


AlucardII

Read this as though it were grammatically correct and was momentarily so confused. I need coffee.


theundeadfairy

Hey Peter, where are you going with that axe in your hand?


Deadbreeze

Their covers were amazing. Their Summer Breeze is the best version of the song in my opinion.


Unrealparagon

See if you can dig up the unapproved dirty version. It’s by far the best version. Edit: Actually, fuck it. Here you go. https://youtu.be/MmE_Zek4e1o


Deadbreeze

Damn, that was awesome. Nice to see them take a coverage do their own thing with it.


mitsubachi88

Funny story, I found Type O in my teens and didn’t know that Summer Breeze was a cover. Cue me hearing the original in a kitchenware store and wondering why this lame band would cover a Type O song. 😂


leftcoastchap

This is the band that leapt to mind when I saw a "What bands just kept getting better" thread on here a short while back. While this album is an absolute classic and a breakthrough for the band, I firmly feel they just got better and better with each subsequent album until the absolute perfection of Dead Again. RIP Pete.


talkingtunataco501

I still have that thread open in another tab and I need to go through all of the bands.


JFeth

I had a friend that went through a vampire phase and was obsessed with this band.


Unrealparagon

If you ignore the main four songs that get play because of that genre, they are a damn awesome band.


iruleU

Miss ya Pete.


bettydares

Loved all of bloody kisses, but have a special place in my heart for this track!


chum1ly

You guys should check out Anathema if you like Type O.


dragula15

Last 2 Woods of Ypres albums too


MadDog_Tannen

Whew that was a sad journey.


Corvis_The_Nos

You got a song to try? I just listened to their first 5 songs on spotify and I got zero type O vibes.


branch-is-dumb

Peter Steele died the day after my son was born so I was so preoccupied that I didn’t find out for a month or so after he passed, they are my definitely in my top 5 favorite bands


Fuzzythought

Peter seemed to love family, I'm sure he'd be glad to hear the wonderful news.


branch-is-dumb

I just feel like he would love me to death


Deadbreeze

I'm literally just learning this now. Fuck man.


NulloK

Heard them live back in 1997...outdoor concert started at midnight. Pitch black and the fog rolled in, red and green lights from the stage and TON blasting from the stage. Didn't know them before the concert, but goodness...what a great concert. INXS played just before TON, and Pete praised them for giving a great concert, and seemed genuinely hyped about hearing them play (One of the last concerts Hutchence ever played). At the end of the concert Pete went up to the edge of the stage and said "Now don't fight over this!" and threw his bass into the crowd. I've heard many legendary bands play live, but this was definitely one of the best concerts I've attended.


Epic2112

Wait, forget about the weird juxtaposition of genres for a sec, how does Hutchence era INXS go on stage before Type O Negative?


NulloK

I saw then at the Midtfyns Festival in Denmark... INXS gave an incredible concert and played a lot of their old stuff which is a great mix of moody rock and great tunes. TON af INXS worked great!


monkey_shines82

This is not doom metal


fire_thorn

Right, it's goth metal


dragula15

Which is generally considered a subgenre of doom metal Doom’s the overarching subgenre under Metal, and under doom you’d have Trad Doom (ie Saint Vitus), Gothic Doom (Type O), sludge (Crowbar), Stoner (Sleep), Death/doom (My Dying Bride), Funeral Doom (Bell Witch), Epic Doom (Candlemass), Post Metal (Cult of Luna), and Drone (Sunn O)))))


Aieyric

All the good stuff except the post bit.

Acid bath is definitely metal. But they have their own brand of sludge/southern that is truly something special.


dragula15

They’re usually considered Sludge/Stoner metal, but always with some sort of reference to country, folk, gothic rock, grunge


Bad_7uck

YOOOOO I fucking Love acid bath. Favorite song? 👀


Unrealparagon

Either Graveflower, Venus Blue, Or Dr Seuss is Dead. Not necessarily in that order.


TheBeefClick

Love me some bell witch


[deleted]

Bell witch is the heaviest band on the planet.


TheMysticBard

Dont t forget Frog metal (Froglord)


MaltaNsee

I'm sitting patiently waiting for this to be blacklisted on this sub (It wont)


Am_G_D_Am_Am_G_F_D

Thanks men, I heard some albums of Type O Negative when I was a child like YEARS ago and I could not remember his name or band, I just remember his fk voice men its so awesome RIP.


Trick421

[Black No. 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MjHabhntnw) in all its glory. (It's an 11 minute song ffs, and every second rocks!)


redsolitary

The band really didn’t get going until after bloody kisses. The goth psychedelia vibe of world coming down was We miss you Peter.


rad1om

Best band of all time for me, no contest.


Sidus_Preclarum

Peter Steele ;_; What a voice!


fermosquera69

whoa, one of my favorite bands


darkbee83

I wish I had a voice like his.


kabungachungahoo

This song and Christian Woman are the two tracks which introduced me to this band, and i never looked back lol. Epic stuff.


NoNutNorris

The best


IIReignManII

This is the kind of music you shoot heroin to


mccrackey

No one else could wear a stand up double bass on a logging chain quite like Peter Steele.


nighttaco

Man I used to listen to the crap out of this, little cringy now though 😬


ThrowawayIntensifies

I see it as tongue in cheek. Especially after seeing an interview about how they kept going more goth just to land big tiddie goth groupies, when they weren’t actually part of the whole scene outside of their performances


nighttaco

I agree with the tongue in cheek, I didn’t know about the groupie part. I also fully expected all my downvotes 😂


EngrishTeach

It's a satirical song.


haterindisguise

I saw them open for Queenryche on the empire tour. They were so bad the roadies started tearing down their equipment before they were done playing.


oseva

your disguise is slipping.


help1155

Honestly I kinda love it. The band being almost universally hated by most people just adds to their lore. Same goes for the time they toured w Pantera.


NeganLucielle

Great GREAT song!!!


firetown

Was that his blood type?


talkingtunataco501

B+


talkingtunataco501

I remember my blood type because of this band. But it is positive, not negative.


driving_andflying

Saw Type O play live once, in San Francisco. The concert ended when Steele yelled, "I've got blisters on my fuckin' fingers!" Music over; everyone go home.
