When Peter died I could not bear to hear anything by Type O Negative for at least 3 months. Sometimes it still breaks my heart to hear their music. Farewell to an artist who was true to himself and what he believed in. My heart goes to the rest of the band who still mourn him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-21392539812165835412011-06-17T08:20:56.363-04:002011-06-17T08:20:56.363-04:00i love reading about peter's musical roots and...i love reading about peter's musical roots and I've always found a truly symphonic quality to his compositions, which develop and unravel in a way that has always reminded me of classical music.

His music was more than just simple songs, they were so complex and thats why his music was unique and left deep marks in my soul. I`m shure there will be no substitute for the music of Type O for me. Thank you so much for posting so many stuff about him - it keeps him alive.

I can understand how Peter would be a 'dictator.' Sometimes when you get that vision in your head of how you want something to be/look/sound it can be annoying to have someone try to change that. Peter's composing was a lot more involved than people give him credit for; it was genius. And if there were no Mozart (or Bach, or any other classical composer) Peter might not have been<br />the composer HE was.<br />Thanks again for another insightful and interesting post.<br />Love & Gratitude--Patty P., Stamford, CTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-82175407771236745512011-06-11T06:07:41.139-04:002011-06-11T06:07:41.139-04:00I always hated school, good memories are rare.

I brought the short version of "Black No. 1". <br />After that song my music teacher said that was the best song someone brought in his class ever. He was nothing but absolutely amazed.recordsellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735401783895021617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-33114042143038958532011-06-11T00:17:19.640-04:002011-06-11T00:17:19.640-04:00This interview is refreshing to read.

It must've been quite an experience.<br />The woman who introduced me to Type O years ago is an orchestra instructor and accomplished classical violinist, and I play classical piano at a reasonable level. Breaking the news about Pete to her in was so, so hard.<br />We used to travel to one another's cities to attend shows each Type O tour to hear it all twice. Two of many thousands blending in with our pale skin & black boots, we were seated toward the back intently raising an eyebrow or nodding when we picked up flatted descending 6ths and shifts between Lochrian and Midlothian scales. We were no less thankful for the experience than the rest of the crowd. It was consistently amazing.dunebuggy4https://www.blogger.com/profile/04432182163223893256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-21507262160525322562011-06-10T22:44:59.566-04:002011-06-10T22:44:59.566-04:00I remember an interview with Kenny and Peter (the ...I remember an interview with Kenny and Peter (the interviewer was asian and didnt speak english) and Peter was talking about how many backing tracks there were on October Rust. When you listen to TON songs there are so many "background things" going on. Peter was the master of adding extra bits to songs and it always worked. Everything from the pigeon/dove calls in Black No 1 to the trucks in Green Man, he could use anything and make it sound good and fit into a song.He deserves way more recognition than he has got. Whether people liked him or not they would have to admit he was a genius. I could image him being a dictator when it came to the songs but it was because he had a vision about what the song was going to be. <br />Fu#k Mozart we have Peter Steele :)Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16944339146648736549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-24760803982221131402011-06-10T22:00:10.341-04:002011-06-10T22:00:10.341-04:00A Pale Horse Named Death is a great band, and I...A Pale Horse Named Death is a great band, and I'm so glad a part of Type O Negative, and Peter, are living on in the musical venue.Lisahttp://www.thepooper.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-52019316583012851292011-06-10T21:35:07.377-04:002011-06-10T21:35:07.377-04:00awesome post. i especially liked when Sal said &qu...awesome post. i especially liked when Sal said "I did nothing but analyze him." wouldn't we all be so lucky?!!
