    1. Dude had serious problems, but he had a voice for metal. He needed a therapist, and a handler. Maybe his heart wouldn’t have given out under the weight of years of nigh suicidal drug use. The albums Bloody Kisses and October Rust both still have a place on my spotify playlist.

      Also, just wait for it, some elder millenial goth girl is gonna come in here breathlessly mentioning that he posed for Playgirl. Every single time.

      I Met Type O Negative backstage at Ozzfest 97. It was completely by accident and they were hilarious.

    3. I saw Type O live back in either 2000 or 2001 at a club in Boston. I had heard their songs before so I knew he had a deep voice, but I had never heard him in just speaking before so I wasn’t prepared for his heavy New York accent, lol. 

      In the introduction to one of their songs, he infored the audience that the song was about going down on a woman who’s having her period. When that prompted a rather disgusted groan from the audience, he responded with “Ayyyyy, what’s roast beef without the gravy, huh?” 🤣

      my favorite band of all time. I saw them probably 10 times between ’99 and his death.

      RIP Peter

    5. I eventually understood that “type 0 negative” is the name of the band. Before I did so, I was really confused as to why that information would be relevant to the photo.
