    His history and lyrics is exactly why I find it hilarious when people claim he's sexist. He was clearly pro woman. He constantly spoke about how much he loved his mom, sisters, and as a child his favorite part of the day was watching his sisters put on makeup. 🖕🏻 to those who try to defame him while he's resting in the earth. 💚🖤

      Exactly, Peter women and not just sexually (although he obviously had a deep appreciation for the female form and feminine energy)
      ToN had a lot of romantic lyrics and literally wax poetic about a sweaty boob (Love You To Death) without being vulgar; believe me most of us don't feel sexy with boob sweat in any context but he makes even the sweatiest-titted woman feel like a beauty with that lyric lol!
      The band also treated groupies well. That is the exception rather than the rule sadly, a GOOD portion of musicians are disrespectful or downright gross with groupies/women in general. I hate when people say Peter was misogynistic because they clearly don't have a fucking clue what misogyny looks like. It's certainly out there, but the extreme feminists often see problems where there are none.
      The world could benefit from more men who regard women in the way Peter did. He still could be masculine and enthrall a woman sexually without being a brute pig, which is apparently a difficult balance to strike for some guys lol.
      He isn't even my type physically but I was attracted to him as a person. There is a reason women have always loved him beyond being a famous frontman.

      @@StaticYonder I'm no expert, but the reason I know that term, "Basso Profundo", Is because I was a guitar major in college and every music major had to be in the chorus, and I was singled out for being the only one able to audibly sing a low D (the one immediately below guitar low E). They talked me into taking a voice minor course, and the prof told me I was a Basso Profundo. I have no idea if that is technically true, but I can tell you Peter could get way deeper than me with real projection.

    Something fun to note is that Josh Silver contributed alot to the low end of the band, sharing rhythm duties with Pete as well, in addition to his Snyth work. you can tell as Petes tone was more on the mid range side of things, while Josh filled out the rest of the low end playing chords of keyboard. It's a unique set up. The interesting (and cool thing) about Type O is that they have a whole band kind of sound. Though Pete was the primary composer, the music isnt focused on one instrument, but rather balanced between all the instruments. Keep up the great work! No suggestions, because, look at the comments!

    • @RockandrollNegro
      @RockandrollNegro 7 місяців тому +2

      Early on, the band decided that they didn't want any of their instruments to sound like they traditionally should. Pete's bass would sound like a guitar, Kenny's guitar would sound like a keyboard, and Josh's keyboard would sound like a bass and guitar. Of course, not every song followed this plan, but thematically, the music makes more "sense" when you know how they originally structured the sonic landscape of Type O.

      My fiancee asked me "Are you sad Peter died?" I thought about it and said yes. The man suffered with terrible depression and addiction. Went to jail for a while. Got out, found god, got clean, got a new house. Was finally getting his life back on track ... and died. It's a tragedy.

    Saw Type O Negative at Donington 1996, on the second stage, saw them a couple of times at the London Astoria. Didn't see them again until a festival I went to in the Netherlands around 2006(?), Last time I saw Pete Steel play was with Carnivore in a small club in London (2007 or 08 maybe). I was again at a festival in the Netherlands in 2010 when I heard the news that Pete had died... I was pretty gutted. RIP.

    Pretty cool videos and channel you have here. As a bass player myself of almost 30 yrs., I appreciate it when the spotlight is put on various bassists. Still, if I may make a suggestion here, it would be cool to also focus on awesome bass players from other genres of rock music (if you wish to remain mainly focused on rock music), not just the ones seen regularly (ad nauseam) in many other bass player videos.
    The rock bass playing community is made up of a *_LARGE_* pool of talent and yet sadly, the focus is almost always on the same handful of individuals (that do have and deserve their respective places in the spotlight, don't get me wrong) but, it begins to feel limiting and constricting to see the same small number of people over and over again, as if that is all the bass playing community has to offer. Here are some awesome bass players that rarely (if ever) get their due presence in the spotlight:
    Steve Severin - Siouxsie & The Banshees
    David J - Bauhaus
    Craig Adams/Patricia Morrison - The Sisters Of Mercy
    Mark Burgess - The Chameleons
    Peter Hook - Joy Division
    Benjamin Orr - The Cars
    Johnette Napolitano - Concrete Blonde
    Simon Gallup - The Cure
    Jerry Casale - Devo
    Dan K. Brown - The Fixx
    Frank Maudsley - A Flock Of Seagulls
    Carlos D. - Interpol
    Martin Glover/Paul Raven - Killing Joke
    Jamie Stewart - The Cult
    Jerry Only - The Misfits
    Anka Wolbert - Clan Of Xymox
    Pete Farndon - The Pretenders
    Tim Butler - The Psychedelic Furs
    Colin Greenwood - Radiohead
    Tina Weymouth - Talking Heads
    Derek Forbes - Simple Minds
    Curt Smith - Tears For Fears
    Aimee Mann - 'Til Tuesday
    Adam Clayton - U2
    And many, many more. The list is endless. Keep up the great work!...

    Pretty nice work my friend! Pete is my bass hero for a number of reasons! Late 2000s till he died, he most reliably used 2 Peavey Tour 750 heads with Peavey Max Bass preamps in front of each one. One to the wedge and one to the main cabs. You nailed the pedals...the signal chain is anyone's guess. I have this very set up, FINALLY. As far as signal chain, I use a Boss LS-2 in order to have a split signal with one being clean. Those boss guitar pedals clip all the lows, that's why people assume he had two chains. I combine them into a Peavey 410. If I had two cabs and two heads and preamps I'd run em separate I guess. Tour heads aren't that hard to find...but the preamps sure were!
