Type O Negative- are my favourite band of all time. Peter Steele- the green man- was an absolute cat loving gentle giant. Wicked sense of humour too 💚🖤
It looks like Smokey was feeling this one HARD. There's NOTHING like driving around in the fall, with the smell of autum leaves in the cool air and the windows down, with Typo O blasting out of the Bose. There's something just magical about it. ps. Wolf Moon for the next one. You won't regret it if you listen deep to the lyrics.
So glad ya'll liked this. Type O is one of my favorite bands. Met Peter after a show back in 99. Super nice guy. Offered us left over pizza from the tour bus lol. RIP Peter!!
One of my favorite Type O songs. There will never be another group like them. Peter Steel was a force of nature, I miss that big man. (He was 6'8"). And I agree, the entirety of October Rust is PHENOMENAL.
From October rust, you have to react to red water, green man, and burnt flowers fallen. Realistically every song should be listened to but those 3 send chills
Peter was such a incredible artist and from his interviews seemed like he was the nicest guy. RIP Peter! He posed and was the centerfold in an issue of Playgirl!
These are some of the sexiest lines I have ever heard: "In her place one hundred candles burning, as salty sweat drips from her breast, her hips move and I can feel what they saying, swaying, they say the beast inside of me is gonna get ya, get ya, yeah!" Great picture painting with lyrics right there.
I'm SO GLAD people are STILL listening to this. I got to shake Peter Steele's hand backstage on the World Coming Down tour and I was just awestruck. Still my favorite Autumn album. Type O FOREVER.
7:59 "I love hot candle wax by the way" 😂 -- Thank you guys for doing this song. I'd love to see more Type O Negative! Long version of 'Christian Woman' is great.
What's considered the best band ever? Is it because they were all masters of there instruments? I'm jus curious not trying to be a smart ass... but the way I look at it is the best band ever would be guys who all can sing and swap instruments in a instant... jus saying
@@ninjavigilante5311 As The Dude says, "Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion, man." The best band is whatever I want it to be and you can feel free to have it be whatever you want it to be. Music has no rules.
I'm stoked that you both loved Type-O.. This song, still, after hundreds of times listening to it, still gives me chills up and down my legs. Without fail! I energetically feel the emotion and pain behind the song and the lyrical inspiration. Such a gem of a band. They were original and will never be forgotten or topped. That voice.... cannot be replaced..... ever. Just incredible. The track "Nettie" really shows the depth and ability of Peter's voice 👌👌
You're going to be hard pressed to find another songwriter who could bare their soul the way that Peter Steele could, yet without taking himself too seriously. He wrote some damned funny lines, too. Long time fan of Type O. Saw them in concert 3 times...once with the legendary Pantera. Thank you for this reaction! I'm so glad you both like it, but how could you not? Anesthesia would be a great song of theirs to check out. Or Creepy Green Light. Two of my favorites :)
I saw them live in 1995. Small venue and they rocked the place. He was this tall shadow that just waded onto the stage. The mic stand was as tall as it could go. He held this bass guitar like a toy because he was just massive. IT WAS AMAZING.
This track will stand the test of time. It’s an absolute art peace. There’s just those songs that blow your mind. This is one of them. Theatrical. Mesmerizing. Heart felt. Electric. Somber. Everlasting His voice. Like an angel
First proper gig was Type-O at Brixton Academy in '97. Each time they came back I was there. Epic live, amazing atmosphere, one of a kind band. So many great songs for many moods. October Rust is easily the most accessible album but Gravitational Constant from Slow, Deep and Hard is a favourite - if not entirely suited to the reaction format!
Type O was my favorite Band back in the 90’s early 2000’s and October Rust is to me the best Album indeed.. Wolf Moon check out wolf moon next from the October Rust album
I Don't Wanna Be Me, Christian Woman, My Girlfriend's Girlfriend, Set Me on Fire...those are some tracks by Type O Negative you should definitely check out.
Damn, Smokey. I'm impressed with your Type O knowledge. I wish I could double subscribe. Type O Negative is one of my all time favorites and you seem to get them as much as I do.
Right there wit ya Smoke. There’s just somethin about these guys. Now you guys should go back and do something off their first album: Slow, Deep and Hard. Maybe Prelude to Agony, Xero Tolerance or Der Untermunsch. That would be quite the contrast to this.
Absolutely LOVE this song. Pete had such an amazing and unique voice. I saw them back when they opened for Pantera on their far beyond driven tour and It was awesome. Type O Negative has and always will be one of my top ten bands ever since
Yeah same tour 🤘Also one of the many reasons that Pantera was great was the bands they would take on tour with them that otherwise might not have gotten the recognition they deserved
Peter died of sepsis caused by diverticulitis. Love your reaction video and the music video and longer album version are great. Every time I hear the long version I tell it LOVE YOU TO DEATH lol. Seriously that aside I first heard this song in 1998 when I bout the soundtrack to Bride Of Chucky. Track number six and second time I heard the song I fell in love with it and still do never get tired of it. Specially his vocals at the end the way he sings AM IIIIII that part always gets me. Like someone said on here, glad you both like this track. 🤛 🪽 Rest In Power Pete 🤛 🪽 04/14/2010
Excellent and informative reaction to this song! I've heard so many reactions to this one, and many are comments on Peter Steele's hair, mouth, teeth, size, etc. And while I think he's the epitome of handsome, I already know what he looks like. I wanted a real reaction to the song itself. I finally heard it here. RIP Green Man....we love you and miss you!
Hey guys! Type O started after the thrash band Pete was in called Carnivore broke up. He was still under a multi album contract with Roadrunner, and offered them Type O material, and the rest is history.
I saw type o negative back in the winter of 96. Don't remember to much of the concert but I do remember Peter Steele was a giant. I had to look up how tall he was, 6'8".
Petrus Thomas Ratajczyk, known professionally as Peter Steele, was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He was best known as the lead vocalist, bassist and composer of the gothic metal band Type O Negative. Used to be in a late 80s metal band: ' Carnivore ' ...

He's REALLY tall, (* 6' 8" ), Loves the country " Iceland " a.k.a. the " Gentle ' Jolly Green ' Giant ", had lots of medical problems, especially his heart condition b'cos he's so tall ...

Type o is my favorite band of all time , i will never forget hearing them once a year on Halloween on the radio as a kid and couldn't wait to get my heads on all their albums . R.I.P peter 🤘❤️🤘❤️
Greatest band ever. Missed so dearly. Enjoy the rabbit hole adventure. So many good songs. Also, one of the best cover song bands. This song also has a longer album version. This was cut down for the video and because it was released as a single.
Type O is one of my all time favorite bands, love that you both enjoyed it. My favorite songs off of October rust was my girlfriends girlfriend, be my druidress, and wolf moon.but you really can't go wrong with the rest of the album either.
I'm real late to this party, but I've been a fan since Carnivore. I was just a kid back then, but I got a bootleg cassette from family in NY. When "Origin of the Feces" hit (a play on Charles Darwin's "The origin of the species"), I almost immediately recognized the band despite not knowing anything about the end of Carnivore and the formation of Type-O. It was just "Holy fuck, I know that sound, it's different but familiar". It wasn't until "Christian Woman" came out that it got any airplay in my region, but they were an absolute hit in my home town. The accent is just his Brooklyn Accent. Most singers lose a lot of their accent when they sing because of vowel substitution, but he leaned into his a lot, to the point it became a bit of a joke. Their song "I like Goils" is really "I Like Girls" sung in a Brooklyn accent, but fit the whole goth theme, lol. He was also told by a critic what many singers are told, to avoid hard "R" sounds because they are considered "ugly" in a musical sense, so instead of following convention, he doubled down and would roll his Rs very dramatically, purely out of spite, just a passive-aggressive "Fuck you, don't tell me how to make music". But it worked. There are a lot of little spiteful quirks to his style like that, which gave him a very unique voice. He was also an absolute perfectionist at times, despite the "I don't give a fuck" persona. But that wasn't a contradiction to him, he didn't give a fuck what others thought about his music as long as he was satisfied with it, which he almost never was, as stated in nearly every interview he gave. The dude was a legend. I honestly didn't believe it when he passed. In part because they had faked his death before, lol. Several years prior, they had announced his death on the band's web page, just as a joke. There's so many dark jokes like that in their music, those guys had a great sense of humor. For what it's worth, Kenny Hickey of Type-O has a new project, "EYE AM". It's fucking awesome. It's got a definite Chris Cornell kind of vibe, but heavier. ua-cam.com/video/cvNCPbQJu5Y/v-deo.html
Perfect Timing for this song/record for the weather change over here in germany too as this album will be on heavy repeat all throughout autumn until vinter. all of Type O in fact, but October Rust mainly
IVE BEEN A MUSICIAN ..LOCALLY FOR 30 PLUS YEARS AND MY LAST BAND...NEGATIVE STEELE..WAS THE ONLY TYPE O TRIBUTE BAND IN PA. AND BEFORE MY HEALTH ISSUES ...THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG TO PLAY...AND STILL TILL THIS DAY...EVOKES SO MANY EMOTIONS FROM ME......
Another great band I was introduced to by my late great best friend. (Along with GNR Manson, and even Cooper). RIP Nathan Marshall, I can only imagine the music I'm missing without you
My absolute favorite band. Best choices are Anesthesia and Wolf Moon. Other killer tracks are Everyone Dies, My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend, Green Man, Creepy Green Light, Ode to Locksmiths. So many good tracks from them, I’m glad you’re covering them. They don’t get enough coverage for how great they were. RIP Peter. We all still miss you.
So happy you got around to checking these guys out again, I would recommend to listen to the studio albums rather then the videos as the videos chop a good 5 minutes of music out. In Praise of Bacchus, Green Man, September Sun and Everything Dies are other great songs to check out.
I was tickled to see that Smokey already knew the band and was a fan. He even knew the album it was on and back in the day before the internet of today, Type O was pretty niche. You had to be a goth or just hang with a very eclectic crowd really to ever stumble upon them. They were about as underground as you could be while still having an MTV music video. October Rust is still a tradition for me and my best friend. He loves Autumn and we load it up starting on my birthday and ending on Halloween as I treat all of October as a holiday. We'll sing along, lament that Peter is gone, and talk about our days as social misfits.
I had heard of the band's name for a long time, but I first heard this song on an alt rock station in Macon,GA a few years ago. I love how this song has such a blend of chunky, solo Ozzie sounding guitars and gothic keyboard soundscape with the melodies of a band like Pink Floyd. Type O is up there with Alice in Chains for favorite hard rock/metal harmonies.
PLEASE do The Green Man has been my “I’m stressed and need to chill out so I’m listening to this now” song for like, 15 years. There’s so many layers of sound happening and it’s so gorgeous. September Sun is AMAZING too!
Morning! Was looking forward to this reaction! Love type o neg! Fav songs of mine are "christian woman" and "black #1". ( Peter Steele was also a centerfold in playgirl magazine!)He was a Kool guy! RIP. Great reaction fellas!🤓👍❤️
I'd heard the name Type O Negative, but didn't check them out until about five years ago, around the time I met my now fiancé and this was the first song I heard. Takes me back to that wonderful time
I knew you would love that one brother. I’ve been a huge fan of Type O since ‘96 and friends with the drummer Johnny, so I’m gonna send this reaction to him. Peter passed in 2010. He was also 6’8. Long live the Green Man💚
I really Dig that shirt with the goat on it, I think I've seen yall wearing ACID BATH shirts too, I'm from Metairie, Louisiana, it's a suburb of New Orleans. I remember when ACID BATH was breaking out, they are from "DOWN THE BAYOU," from NOLA. GALIANO/ HOUMA area. they were really great, had huge potential. We all thought they were going to blow up. Unfortunately they never did. SAD STORY
His real name is Petrus Thomas Ratajczyk. His father was of Polish and Russian descent and his mother of Scottish-Irish, Norwegian, and Icelandic ancestry.
Creepy Green Light, Anesthesia (one of the most wide ranging in terms of vocals), Everyone I Love is Dead, WOLF MOON (read the lyrics to get in the mind of Peter's dark sense of humor). One of the great things about this band is they don't take themselves seriously. The songs are fun and dark, but they are super funny, nice guys in all their interviews.
Also I have this T-shirt that looks like the cover of a type o album cover except it’s a pic of wilford brimley and it says “type two diabeetus” one of my favorite shirts 😂❤
Guys. Absolutely love this reaction y’all chose to do. If you want suggestions from October Rust, you might as well just react to the whole entire album. That way you get the full experience the way it was intended. But some major stand outs are “Wolf Moon”, “Red Water”, and “Cinnamon Girl”
I was watching Type O Negative/Cradle of Filth in Milwaukee the night Dimebag got murdered. Peter stopped after a song, went backstage, came back out and ended the set short. The next day I heard the news and realized someone probably told him.
Hell yea, I’m just going through some favorite bands and seeing if you two have reacted to them. So glad to see Type O. Now do some of the Misfits, Sisters of Mercy and more Goth bands.
My two favorite bands are Slayer and Type O Negative. These are two very different bands but both feed my need for heavy music. A few October Rust songs you could check out are in Praise of Bacchus, Die with Me, or Wolf Moon, especially if you liked this one. Off of other albums there is Gravity, Chrisitan Woman, White Slavery, Anesthesia... there are just too many good ones to name them all. RIP Peter Steele.
Omg Type O Negative was amazing! Seeing the band live was always one of my favorite things- I used to ‘follow’ the band lol. Lots of shows ❤️ They have all their ‘radio hits’ -but their live shows where half their best ‘punk rock epics’. There gothic rock is bomb but their punk rock has so much character. My favorite they ALWAYS played was ‘We Hate Everyone’ - ‘Xero Tolerance’ is super fun too. They just had such an amazing range of talent. I love their whole catalog - these just remind me of what I loved to see live. The high energy stuff. Peter was truly a sweet deep soul. I still can’t believe he has been gone this long and so damn young.
I was a junior in high school when this came out I absolutely loved it then and still do after all these years. This is one of those bands as soon as I hear them I immediately think of my friends and high school and smile. I miss those days much.
Smoke Dog! Didn’t know you were a TON fan. Not hard to guess I’m a bit of a fan myself, lol. In all honesty, I really only know October Rust really well - I chose this name way back in the beginning of Internet stuff when I happened to be crushing on October Rust. RIP Pete You KNOW you gotta do In Praise Of Bacchus. ❤❤❤
The first album and mock live album were thrash metal because Peter's previous band Carnivore which later disbanded was a thrash band. Peter later formed Type O Negative and used songs he had written for Carnivore for Type O Negative's first album because waste not want not. Peter had said he formed Type O Negative because he wanted the chance to actually sing and not just scream and yell into the mic all the time. I could be wrong about this last statement but that is what I remember.
I met Peter Steele at record store in Phoenix called Zia Record's in the 90s. I was outside waiting on a friend and this dude walks up, Im 6'2 and he was at least 6'8 and goes hey brother can I bum a smoke. We started choppin it up and I can honestly say he was funny. Very nice dude and gave me tickets to his show. Got to party with him afterwards. He went hard in the paint, but around sun up he bid us fairwell. He left this world too soon. Christian Woman would be a good reaction vid. Dueces
Haven’t listened to them in a minute but Type O is a solid band,this is a short version to the original which is better. I would recommend checking out “green man” “Todd ship Gods ” and “I don’t wanna be me”
I’m not a big fan of Rap, I mainly grew up on Metal and Hard Rock, but I love that you guys feel the energy of music. Peter Steele, well The Green Man himself is one of my greatest influences that helped me progress playing the Bass and Guitar and helped me through my addictions. I have friends that have shown me some Rap music/artists and I do enjoy a lot of the beats. Music is universal, so i’m glad you guys enjoy my favorite band. I’ll keep an eye on certain Rap artists in honor of you guys! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Great videos guys!!!
Type O Negative- are my favourite band of all time. Peter Steele- the green man- was an absolute cat loving gentle giant. Wicked sense of humour too 💚🖤
He surely was a cat-lover. Their song "Bloody Kisses (A Death in the Family)" is written about his cat dying 😿
@@typhon78 such a great guy and mourning his pet through a song- there'll never be another like him
R.I.P green man
I met him once. He was cracking jokes constantly. Good dude.
@@profanepersonality I would have loved to have met him. It's awesome that you got to 🤘🖤💚🤘
Nothing beats the feeling when you see your friend's face light up when they enjoy a band you love.
It looks like Smokey was feeling this one HARD.
There's NOTHING like driving around in the fall, with the smell of autum leaves in the cool air and the windows down, with Typo O blasting out of the Bose. There's something just magical about it.
ps. Wolf Moon for the next one. You won't regret it if you listen deep to the lyrics.
Amen brother.
It's just about that time of year!
So I'm just now getting into Type O Negative and took your advice here on listening to Wolf Moon..Damn! That song is 🔥 .
So glad ya'll liked this. Type O is one of my favorite bands. Met Peter after a show back in 99. Super nice guy. Offered us left over pizza from the tour bus lol.
RIP Peter!!
One of my favorite Type O songs. There will never be another group like them. Peter Steel was a force of nature, I miss that big man. (He was 6'8").
And I agree, the entirety of October Rust is PHENOMENAL.
Check out the band October Noir, they are HEAVILY inspired by TON and sound like them, they wanted the legacy of TON to live on!!!
Guess what, dudes? The album version is longer and even more awesome.
From October rust, you have to react to red water, green man, and burnt flowers fallen. Realistically every song should be listened to but those 3 send chills
Peter was such a incredible artist and from his interviews seemed like he was the nicest guy. RIP Peter! He posed and was the centerfold in an issue of Playgirl!
I was just gonna say that he posted in playgirl lol!:)

@@eljefebridget this is true, it's one the best band's 4 sure not complaining. The dude oblides.
Their breakout hit was Christian Woman off Bloody Kisses and that song got me into them. It got radio play in my area.

October Rust was the peak of their song writing. It all came together on this album. Also one of the most underrated bands of all time.

they have a very distinctive and unique sound, a GOTH METAL and Darker subject matter that was what I liked so much
Such a great way to start my Friday. Thanks for reacting to this song. We lost Peter way too soon.........RIP.
Got see them twice in concert was great. I've had September Sun stuck in my head last few weeks, so was surprised to see a TON song on here.
First proper gig was Type-O at Brixton Academy in '97. Each time they came back I was there.
Epic live, amazing atmosphere, one of a kind band.
So many great songs for many moods. October Rust is easily the most accessible album but Gravitational Constant from Slow, Deep and Hard is a favourite - if not entirely suited to the reaction format!

Gotta do "All Hallows Eve" by Type O Negative for Halloween this year!
Type o is my favorite band of all time , i will never forget hearing them once a year on Halloween on the radio as a kid and couldn't wait to get my heads on all their albums . R.I.P peter 🤘❤️🤘❤️
Type O Negative was the first Road Runner artist to have a gold and platinum album (Bloody Kisses). Great reaction!
Greatest band ever. Missed so dearly. Enjoy the rabbit hole adventure. So many good songs. Also, one of the best cover song bands. This song also has a longer album version. This was cut down for the video and because it was released as a single.
Peter Steele was in a a heavier metal band named Carnivore. And before that, he was in a band named Fallout, a band that formed in 1979.
I've always loved TYPE O NEGATIVE, the lead singer passed away, very sad. He was on The Jerry Springer show once, funny episode
Type O is one of my all time favorite bands, love that you both enjoyed it. My favorite songs off of October rust was my girlfriends girlfriend, be my druidress, and wolf moon.but you really can't go wrong with the rest of the album either.

But that wasn't a contradiction to him, he didn't give a fuck what others thought about his music as long as he was satisfied with it, which he almost never was, as stated in nearly every interview he gave.
The dude was a legend. I honestly didn't believe it when he passed. In part because they had faked his death before, lol. Several years prior, they had announced his death on the band's web page, just as a joke. There's so many dark jokes like that in their music, those guys had a great sense of humor.
For what it's worth, Kenny Hickey of Type-O has a new project, "EYE AM". It's fucking awesome.
It's got a definite Chris Cornell kind of vibe, but heavier.

TON rules, RIP Pete. October rust/world coming down/life is killing me is a godly stretch of albums.
I met type o negative twice in Tampa, Peter Steele was a good man and loved his fans. He signed alot stuff for me, miss him R.I.P.
Perfect Timing for this song/record for the weather change over here in germany too as this album will be on heavy repeat all throughout autumn until vinter. all of Type O in fact, but October Rust mainly
Great Song. It was on Bride of Chucky soundtrack if I remember correctly
IVE BEEN A MUSICIAN ..LOCALLY FOR 30 PLUS YEARS AND MY LAST BAND...NEGATIVE STEELE..WAS THE ONLY TYPE O TRIBUTE BAND IN PA. AND BEFORE MY HEALTH ISSUES ...THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG TO PLAY...AND STILL TILL THIS DAY...EVOKES SO MANY EMOTIONS FROM ME......
Another great band I was introduced to by my late great best friend. (Along with GNR Manson, and even Cooper).
RIP Nathan Marshall, I can only imagine the music I'm missing without you
My absolute favorite band. Best choices are Anesthesia and Wolf Moon. Other killer tracks are Everyone Dies, My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend, Green Man, Creepy Green Light, Ode to Locksmiths. So many good tracks from them, I’m glad you’re covering them. They don’t get enough coverage for how great they were. RIP Peter. We all still miss you.
October Rust is an absolute masterpiece from beginning to end.
So happy you got around to checking these guys out again, I would recommend to listen to the studio albums rather then the videos as the videos chop a good 5 minutes of music out. In Praise of Bacchus, Green Man, September Sun and Everything Dies are other great songs to check out.
Wolf moon. Great song! Saw them twice live.. once with Sepultura and Ozzy, and once with Queensryche. Great band!
I was tickled to see that Smokey already knew the band and was a fan. He even knew the album it was on and back in the day before the internet of today, Type O was pretty niche. You had to be a goth or just hang with a very eclectic crowd really to ever stumble upon them. They were about as underground as you could be while still having an MTV music video. October Rust is still a tradition for me and my best friend. He loves Autumn and we load it up starting on my birthday and ending on Halloween as I treat all of October as a holiday. We'll sing along, lament that Peter is gone, and talk about our days as social misfits.
I was smiling the throughout the whole video watching Smoke groove! Lol Rock on brother!!!
Get in Smokey, a man of fine tastes! Such a great album! I'd love to hear 'Christian Woman' and 'IYDKMIGHTKY- Gimme That'.
Type O my favorite band ever Peter Steele was one of a kind
I had heard of the band's name for a long time, but I first heard this song on an alt rock station in Macon,GA a few years ago. I love how this song has such a blend of chunky, solo Ozzie sounding guitars and gothic keyboard soundscape with the melodies of a band like Pink Floyd. Type O is up there with Alice in Chains for favorite hard rock/metal harmonies.
PLEASE do The Green Man has been my “I’m stressed and need to chill out so I’m listening to this now” song for like, 15 years. There’s so many layers of sound happening and it’s so gorgeous. September Sun is AMAZING too!
Still my fave band too this day. Started listening to them around 96 97
Everything dies is my favorite Type O Negative Song
Morning! Was looking forward to this reaction! Love type o neg! Fav songs of mine are "christian woman" and "black #1". ( Peter Steele was also a centerfold in playgirl magazine!)He was a Kool guy! RIP. Great reaction fellas!🤓👍❤️
Thank you for being honest regardless of genres. What's good is good.
I think you guys need to do a double header of the Type - o negative song Christian Woman and Angry Inch
My first and favourite Type O Negative song. Check out the Live at Wacken performance. I recommend Be my Druidess. 💚💚
he had a fascination with VAMPIRES, he had cosmetic dental surgery and had pronounced fangs
I'd heard the name Type O Negative, but didn't check them out until about five years ago, around the time I met my now fiancé and this was the first song I heard. Takes me back to that wonderful time
Love to see how you're feeling it. I miss the Green Man 💚 Glad I saw them live for the first time in 94 and a few other times later.
"September Sun", the album version, from Type O needs to be on the list of future reactions.
I knew you would love that one brother. I’ve been a huge fan of Type O since ‘96 and friends with the drummer Johnny, so I’m gonna send this reaction to him. Peter passed in 2010. He was also 6’8. Long live the Green Man💚
Missed the opportunity to mention Peter appearing as the centerfold of Playgirl in 1995....
I really Dig that shirt with the goat on it, I think I've seen yall wearing ACID BATH shirts too, I'm from Metairie, Louisiana, it's a suburb of New Orleans. I remember when ACID BATH was breaking out, they are from "DOWN THE BAYOU," from NOLA. GALIANO/ HOUMA area. they were really great, had huge potential. We all thought they were going to blow up. Unfortunately they never did. SAD STORY
His real name is Petrus Thomas Ratajczyk. His father was of Polish and Russian descent and his mother of Scottish-Irish, Norwegian, and Icelandic ancestry.
Creepy Green Light, Anesthesia (one of the most wide ranging in terms of vocals), Everyone I Love is Dead, WOLF MOON (read the lyrics to get in the mind of Peter's dark sense of humor). One of the great things about this band is they don't take themselves seriously. The songs are fun and dark, but they are super funny, nice guys in all their interviews.
3:23 Pete was in a hardcore band called Carnivore before Type O Negative. Check them out too.
This video was filmed in Prospect Park(NYC), and "Peter's Tree" and "Peter's Bench" are there. In Memory of The Green Man! 💚
Also I have this T-shirt that looks like the cover of a type o album cover except it’s a pic of wilford brimley and it says “type two diabeetus” one of my favorite shirts 😂❤
Guys. Absolutely love this reaction y’all chose to do. If you want suggestions from October Rust, you might as well just react to the whole entire album. That way you get the full experience the way it was intended. But some major stand outs are “Wolf Moon”, “Red Water”, and “Cinnamon Girl”
Yeah Wolf Moon was actually the song that got me into them. Story of that song might be strange to some but I don’t give a fuck I love it lol
Dude Smokey is a TON fan?! Props for it!
I was watching Type O Negative/Cradle of Filth in Milwaukee the night Dimebag got murdered. Peter stopped after a song, went backstage, came back out and ended the set short. The next day I heard the news and realized someone probably told him.
My suggestions: Anesthesia, Wolf Moon, Haunted, All Hollows Eve, Everyone I Love Is Dead, Creepy Green Light, Red Water, To Late: Frozen…
Hell yea, I’m just going through some favorite bands and seeing if you two have reacted to them. So glad to see Type O. Now do some of the Misfits, Sisters of Mercy and more Goth bands.
Love this song... great lyrics, the rhythm and the keyboards atmospheres are great.
So many good ones, especially from that album. Die With Me, Burnt Flowers Fallen, In Praise of Bacchus, Haunted...
My two favorite bands are Slayer and Type O Negative. These are two very different bands but both feed my need for heavy music. A few October Rust songs you could check out are in Praise of Bacchus, Die with Me, or Wolf Moon, especially if you liked this one. Off of other albums there is Gravity, Chrisitan Woman, White Slavery, Anesthesia... there are just too many good ones to name them all. RIP Peter Steele.
Omg Type O Negative was amazing! Seeing the band live was always one of my favorite things- I used to ‘follow’ the band lol. Lots of shows ❤️ They have all their ‘radio hits’ -but their live shows where half their best ‘punk rock epics’. There gothic rock is bomb but their punk rock has so much character. My favorite they ALWAYS played was ‘We Hate Everyone’ - ‘Xero Tolerance’ is super fun too. They just had such an amazing range of talent. I love their whole catalog - these just remind me of what I loved to see live. The high energy stuff. Peter was truly a sweet deep soul. I still can’t believe he has been gone this long and so damn young.
Best songwriter.... ever! October Rust and world coming down to the best albums ever to myself and Peter will be greatly missed, rip Peter
just hearing the name Type O puts a smile on my face :) every time
I was a junior in high school when this came out I absolutely loved it then and still do after all these years. This is one of those bands as soon as I hear them I immediately think of my friends and high school and smile. I miss those days much.
happy Libra season ! perfect timing to get into October Rust. absolutely love Type O and this album is pure fire start to finish
honestly anything off October Rust would be good for reactions
Christian Woman, My Girlfriend's Girlfriend, I don't wanna be me and Life is Killing me are also great songs by them. 👍🏻
Smoke Dog!
Didn’t know you were a TON fan.
Not hard to guess I’m a bit of a fan myself, lol.
In all honesty, I really only know October Rust really well - I chose this name way back in the beginning of Internet stuff when I happened to be crushing on October Rust.
RIP Pete
You KNOW you gotta do In Praise Of Bacchus. ❤❤❤
The first album and mock live album were thrash metal because Peter's previous band Carnivore which later disbanded was a thrash band. Peter later formed Type O Negative and used songs he had written for Carnivore for Type O Negative's first album because waste not want not. Peter had said he formed Type O Negative because he wanted the chance to actually sing and not just scream and yell into the mic all the time. I could be wrong about this last statement but that is what I remember.
I met Peter Steele at record store in Phoenix called Zia Record's in the 90s. I was outside waiting on a friend and this dude walks up, Im 6'2 and he was at least 6'8 and goes hey brother can I bum a smoke. We started choppin it up and I can honestly say he was funny. Very nice dude and gave me tickets to his show. Got to party with him afterwards. He went hard in the paint, but around sun up he bid us fairwell. He left this world too soon. Christian Woman would be a good reaction vid. Dueces
Haven’t listened to them in a minute but Type O is a solid band,this is a short version to the original which is better. I would recommend checking out “green man” “Todd ship Gods ” and “I don’t wanna be me”
I’m not a big fan of Rap, I mainly grew up on Metal and Hard Rock, but I love that you guys feel the energy of music. Peter Steele, well The Green Man himself is one of my greatest influences that helped me progress playing the Bass and Guitar and helped me through my addictions. I have friends that have shown me some Rap music/artists and I do enjoy a lot of the beats. Music is universal, so i’m glad you guys enjoy my favorite band. I’ll keep an eye on certain Rap artists in honor of you guys! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Great videos guys!!!
