Count me in!
Too bad Peter Steele left us... RIP Pete.

I am more of a Slayer, Lamb of God type.....

Huge fan, I saw them 3 times. My dream is to retheme a pinball machine in tribute to them. "Don't be afraid, afraid to die....Dont be afraid...of Suicide."

Jeez I haven't listen to them since high school. Saw in concert in a small place in MA,can't remember..maybe lupo's? Had a band open with a female lead singer and heavy drums,wish I remembered the group cause they were really good. I should have bought one of their cd's they were selling at the show.

All that was back in 1993.
Chime in if you know the band with female lead singer. Viscous music that I really liked. Was and still am a Danzig nut. Like the evil music.
-Mike

I thought this was a club for universal blood donors as I am one. Haha.

Absolutely agree. Danzig can come off as a little 'try too hard' sometimes, but man those first 4 albums are head-smashers. Still dig Samhain and the Misfits too.

Type O I am hit or miss with - Bloody Kisses is amazing, IMO - some of their later albums ("World Coming Down", "Life is Killing Me") are just tooo.... damn... depressing... for....... me.

However, their last album before Peter passed - "Dead Again" - IS ON FIRE!! It's like he kicked the heroin (I think he did) and all of a sudden there's life again. Ugh, no pun intended.

I saw them on that same tour also, albeit on the east coast....my buddies band anger reign opened for the both of em.

Forgive her for she knows not what she does

A cross upon her bedroom wall - from grace she will fall
an image burning in her mind

I still do. I give double every time I go. Everyone can have my blood, I can only get O- Carry on everyone. Sorry for the derail. Haha

When I worked in the music business I once had to pick them up in their hotel room and bring them to an in-store appearance. Nice guys.

That was a good album. My buddy was a fan and played them all the time. It has been a couple of decades since I last listened to them though.

Blood...is a precious thing...in these times.

Saw Type O and Hatebreed along with other bands several years ago. The goth girls really turned out for it! Amazing show and to this day remains one of the very best concerts i've ever attended. The day afterward the radio mentioned the concert and they heard that Type O had totally trashed their hotel room Sadly Peter passed about 1 year after

It breaks my heart that Peter died. He was the most essential part of their sound and songwriting.
They are one of my all time favorite bands.

I love Christian Woman.

Some of my other Type O Negative faves

Black No. 1 (of course)

Love You To Death

My Girlfriend's Girlfriend

Love Type O Negative! If you like Type O you should give "The 69 Eyes" a listen. Awesome band as well! Very similar music and sound.

I have Love you to Death on my Met. Great song, October Rust is a great album/cd/download.

Seen them 4 times. Once at Disneylands House of Blues. Peter use paper plates as mouse ears during the show... Funny

Thanks, I'll have to check them out. Any other bands?

Yeah Poisonblack are great as well! Same dark gothic sound.

The 69 Eyes: Sister Of Charity

The 69 Eyes: The Chair

Poisonblack: Love Infernal

Now that I been digging at this I am pretty sure that "LYCIA" was the opening band when I went.Really cranking on my memory but I had a great time.
-Mike

they lost me a bit with World Coming Down and Life Is Killing Me, but holy shit did they bring my back with Dead Again, it should have been a bigger album for them. Always a fun band to see live, they never took themsleves too seriously

Saw them 2-3 times ... Good Times

Saw them on October Rust tour on a school night haha and in the early 2000s.

would you suffer eternally or internally

Haha.. i always loved Pete and the boys! They never took themselves too serious and the man played a stand up bass... around his neck! Wasnt he a city worker (garbageman) in new york right up until he passed?

I know Steve from Danzig and of course Johnny Kelly from Type O is their drummer now. A couple years ago I was backstage after their concert in Minneapolis and somehow the topic of pinball came up. I was listing off the games I own and when I mentioned the 79' KISS, Johnny goes, "You have a KISS pinball machine!!??! No f*cking way!!", like it was the greatest thing in the world. Well, it is.

That same night, my buddy who was with me, bummed a Corona beer out of Johnny's cooler. The club they were playing had only put 6 bottles of Corona in it and they were like gold to him, but he was nice to share. My buddy goes to pop the cap off the bottle by doing the hit it on the edge of a table thing. Only the table he tried to do it on was some flimsy card game type table and the Corona falls on the floor and beer shoots out the top like someone spraying champagne. We all laughed and made fun of him. My buddy goes to grab another beer from the cooler and Johnny looks all serious at him and goes "No mother f*cker. You finish that one first". There was like 2 inches of beer and the rest was foam. Pretty funny night.

hey minneapolispin, about time for another deadly story about Pete! or even a wicked backstage Danzig story! what was chuck biskits like on the road?!

I went looking for trouble, and I found her.

In school we used to give blood and go drinking. Extra messed up for less $.

Opps, back on topic -

I remembered Seals and Croft doing Summer Breeze from the early 70s. So when I heard the Type-O version I had to find out more about the band.

In tribute to Peter Steele IF I do a pinsound upgrade on my WWF Royal Rumble,
during the SLEEPER mode I'll be adding this song...

I saw them twice actually and really wish I had seen them 3 times!
