I sure miss Type O Negative
Go listen to Hickey's new band Silvertomb.
Me too
Same.
We miss the man of Steele dearly
@@TheGabrielberki don't forget A Pale Horse Named Death too :)
Kenny is criminally underrated.
I would agree with you
Ok
@@pdk213 ok? ..
It doesn't show in this video. Basic beginner stuff. Just a bunch of power cords
RB he’s not really that good tbh, he’s not even top 100 😂 all these riffs were literally beginner stuff plus type o isn’t know for this intricacies. Coming from a fan
I know a lot of people always talk about peter Steele when it comes to the band but honestly, I don't think it would have been successful without any of them. Peter, Josh, Kenny, and Johnny each brought something to the band that truly was greater then the sum of their parts.
walkia lyon There was a guy named Sal. Without him, the band literally would never have existed. You might want to look him up.
yeah men, I can't imagine Type O without that keyboard sound
@@igiveuponhumanity9238 Was also going to mention Sal Abruscato. My understanding was, he did the drumming on "Bloody Kisses," but Johnny got credited. I believe that's Sal in the "Black No. 1" video...
@@maximusmax4557 yeah Sal is on Black No. 1 video. I still have no idea who was in the Christian Woman video on drums.
@@RSKindred If you are referring to the one where the drummer is in a turtleneck wearing shades, that is Johnny.
Type O Negative is one of the most unique and best metal bands out there. There will never be another band like them
My favorite band of all time!
Too true
Agreed. A Pale Horse Named Death is probably the closest in having that type o negative vibe.
@@dethcrimsonx agreed. Saw A Pale Horse a month ago - they kicked MAJOR ASS! I missed Type O , since I was too young but still love the hell out of them!
Try some October Noir. You'll be amazed!
I saw Kenny on a NYC subway and shook his hand.
Did he just say hello?
lucky guy
Good to see him sitting around instead of lying on the sidewalk.
Whenever he was talking, I think I could hear devil music from the house next door.
Peter poking fun didn't help, his face is red. He never stopped with sidewalk thing.
Wtf is the ‘sidewalk thing’
@@Southbound_Buff Kenny Hickey lying on the sidewalk...Devil music from the house next door.

He Sings Like The Great/Late - Mr. Chris Cornell. Rock Point - M2.H.B. 2023!
1:40 lord of this world
Their version of Summer Breeze, genius.
Yes!
I think their version of Cinnamon Girl is better than Neil Youngs.
Greatest cover song ever
@@WVXL64 John Entwistle of the who has a good cover as well
The best! Also love Cinnamon girl.
Watching Type O Negative on stage with Pantera was magical. The best time ever. Seeing Peter ripping off his bass strings with his hands was badass. I miss those times so much. Now at 42 yrs I can say they were my best times.
Wow man ! You are so lucky to ave seen two of my favorite metal band ever in same night !
I caught them with seppultura and Ozzy..... definitely one of my favorite bands of all time.
Ok Boomer
Was at that same tour. 94 or 95. Type o negative surprised the hell out of my young self. Came for Pantera, but type o stole the show
I seen them on them same tour SLC... I'm also 42' lol. By the way we gen- x. Dum ass
Now I desperately want to hear a full version of Cold Beer.
Randy Howells me too!😂
You already heard it
I think that's all😂😂😂
At least we need the tabs for it 😉
@@skilllmatic you can literally learn it from this video
Kenny looks a bit like Chris Cornell, and even when he sings those high notes, he sounds like Chris.
lol FR #Cheers
I saw his band Seventh Void. He was the double of Chris Cornell. In voice and appearance!
i thought the same
Always made that comparison back in the day but very few agreed with lol
Yes absolutely!!!
Seeing him makes me sad. But happy. But still sad. I miss Pete. I miss him more in the Fall months. It's always good seeing Kenny. Reminds me of good times.
We all do, especially this season. If ANYTHING, the "October Rust" album has changed EVERYTHING for those of us that love Autumn. And these guys were just FOUR DICKS FROM BROOKLYN lol!
@@ClickToPreview The Drab 4
Am I the only one seeing that this is a mock J.Mascis account?
@@AD1978leo EVERY SEASON is TON time!!
I miss him in the fall as well... when perfume smells like burning leaves...
Kenny has one of those sounds where you know its him..like David Gilmour...
Fucking exactly right. Until you listen to the guitarwork on their albums, you have NO idea. Kenny Hickey IS the guitar work on these albums.
Great comparison. GREAT.
Exactly. In my mind Peter's voice is what defines Type-O's songs, but I'm hearing these riffs and I'm like: "Goddammit, that IS the song!"
I wish i knew what gear he used for that sound and tone man its fucking sick as hell
8:30 reminded me of Chris Cornell
You can really feel a sense of brotherhood in the way he speaks of Peter.
Imagine a world without Tony Iommi: we would never have had bands like Type O. Kenny is a riff master and a real cool dude! RIP Peter, dearly missed!
Philippe Van Doren and without Type O, Toni Iommi never would have married the lead singer from Drain Sth (the band that was your supporting Type O in '96 and got picked up for Ozzfest '97)
Imagine the sound Tommy Iommi MIGHT have come up had he not been involved in an industrial accident that crippled his hand. Doubtful that it would have sounded anything like what he later created.
Gosh I miss Type O! There are a few bands that I would put on my "resurrection list" and Type O negative is right up near the top. How I wish Peter was still alive! He was so cool; he fronted a goth-metal band, yet the lyrics were satirical and tongue in cheek. The songs were all so catchy, yet heavy as all hell. There was so much left for them to do; it makes me so sad that so much potential died with Steele. :(
And the best thing about it, he didn't like the goth stigma.
nothing to add, dude: exactly what I planned to write. Just to add a personal note: I remember keenly an epic interview of Peter by Vanessa Warwick in the good ole time of Headbangers' Ball on MTV sometimes in 92 or 93... and of course, TON's gig at Brixton Academy in London and later at Eysée Montmartre in Paris...
@@jeanbonnefoy1377 I've seen a few interviews with him, and I can't help but think how cool he was as a person. In one he talked about how he always tried to stay in shape so the audience wouldn't have to watch some out of shape dude wheeze his way through a song on stage. I mean, he always had a certain pride in everything he did; something not too many people have anymore. His interviews on Springer and Howard Stern were flat out hilarious! And I love how he never took himself too seriously. People say how depressing his music sounded, but those people obviously don't pay attention to the lyrics. I mean, didn't he say at one point that the title track of Bloody Kisses was about his cat?
@@TH3F4LC0Nx Wolf Moon is also about a woman's menstrual cycle (keep that in mind when Pete sings "Yourself in my mouth, woman will you leave me with your taste?). There's so much going on with TON lyrically that it's its own brand of humor and irony.
@@Astrodude55 And White Slavery is about his cocaine addiction, although the title strongly suggests it's another political theme of the band. Strangly funny.
Not only a riff master but also a great singer, story teller and overall awesome guy
I miss Peter. Honestly, the music of Type O Negative got me through some really hard times. Thanks you for the memories Kenny.
Got me through some hard times as well.
Josh silver molested me when I was a kid. Your heroes are monsters. The all helped to ruin my life and steal my childhood.
Man, the minute he started playing the TON riff, it went through my earballs straight to my spine! I can almost hear Peter's bass in it! No other band has THAT sound!
Endlessly talented and I could listen to him talk about music for hours
Life is Killing Me and Dead Again are two of the most underrated albums in history. Perfect front to back
All of their albums are underrated.
World coming down!
The only band...literally the ONLY band I've ever followed where every album was better than their last. Dead Again was them going out on top.
@@turbocoma totally agree. If I could hear one last album from any band its them. A close second is Soundgarden
Preach
He got so emotional up talking about Type O it was so beautiful! Peter may be gone but is never forgotten!
Yup. That choke when he first starts talking about TON and Pete, or how his eyes are glassy and tear filled the entire time he's talking about TON and Silvertomb, or the happiness in his playing when he's playing TON riffs.
I already wondered whether it was just me thinking that...
"Kennyyy!"
Enter: guitar solo 😂
Absolutely heard this in my head
Ahaha yeeeesssssss
Corey do you remember which song Peter shouted “Kenny!” in?
Fasooliful unsuccessfully coping with the natural beauty of infidelity
Why did I get a Chris Cornell flash with that bit before the last?!! Truly underrated talent.
I thought the same!
Holy crap!! I’m so glad to see these comments!! I literally had Chris Cornell vides and was like, “nah, it’s just me being ridiculous”
But man doesn’t he kind of a tad sound and look a tiny bit like Chris Cornell? And isn’t he a super nice guy just like Chris Cornell? Or is it just me being ridiculous 🤣🤣
How does Kenny look so young still.... 😂 Proper true legend
@@mikeolithory898 I know right. Still one of the best X
Getting hit by cars apparently!
@@dransdell101 lol...
Beer!
Must be all of that clean livin' 😄😄😄😄
Love Kenny Hickey. Never thought he got enough credit. Damn I miss TON
The tone out of that amp is spectacular!
I absolutely love his guitar tone
God Kenny still has that sludgy sound...Is it just me or can you hear Pete singing every time he plays a riff?
I was just thinking that.
Jesus Christ looks like me!
Sounds like fucking Crowbar
Its the low tuning 😉
@@rubinmiller8868 what tuning is?
Cool to hear that Peter’s favorite Black Sabbath riff is from Into The Void (if I’m hearing correctly). One of my favorite Black Sabbath songs. But yeah, Type O Negative is a band I wish I could have gotten into earlier in my life. Such a great band. R.I.P. Peter
That was from Lord Of This World, but yeah, Into The Void has probably my favourite Sabbath riff, still heavy as fuck today.
@@gechuzhao2178 nope. Go give it another listen. Its Into The Void.
@@DanielDanger420 Man if you are referring to the riff at 1:40 then it's definitely Lord Of This World
@@DanielDanger420 Oh sorry I missed the Peter's favorite part... My bad LOL😅.
1:40 he plays Lord of this world
5:08 he plays the intro to "into the void"
Both off of master of reality.
Wish the Type O guys nothing but the best. They were so unique and the lyrics to their songs so cool/funny/tragic. Miss them and still listen to them all the time. "Anesthesia" is my all time favorite.
Type O is one of the greatest bands of all time.
I agree
One of the most underrated guitarist of all time... And Type O is so massively underrated... Fuck I miss them, and the Green Man
Kenny is a great dude!!! Miss Peter a lot tho.... Miss whole Type O Negative actually... Wish I had the chance to talk to peter. Such a cool dude
Just to give you a real life idea... I met Peter at Duff's Brooklyn during the Dead Again release party. He was sitting outside drinking and chatting with fans, signing albums and such. Me an 2 friends walk up (after scrambling back to the car desperately searching for scrap paper) and are greeted by the big man. He goes "where you guys from", "Long Island" we say. "You guys must be Jewish or Italian". He was spot on about both 😁.
@@KillSwitchNY Haha awesome!! Yeah i've heard so many good/cool things about him. Wish he was still with us.. It's almost 10 years ago.. At least we still have lots of interviews :)
The clean interlude section in Christian Woman and the entirety of In Praise of Bacchus are masterwork. And everything else Type O did too. Obviously.
Type O Negative without a doubt one of the most underrated bands of all time their music was so far ahead of its time amazing band r i p Pete Steele
Criminally underrated guitarist, and sounds like a really nice dude. Love this vid 🤘
He is. I had backstage passes during the October Rust tour. Kenny was hilarious and kept feeding me Heineken. Peter was on his "I hope it wasn't too disappointing trip", and their opener (Drain STH) helped Kenny in keeping me sauced. One of the coolest memories of my youth. I mean 21st birthday I swear
LottoFergie so talented he is ! Miss type o negative 😥
@@jasonjenkins6374 Awesome!!
8:20 reminds me of chris cornell singing a heavy blues tune
Look closely and he is playing with the Pick of Destiny
No matter how much I listen, I cannot get sick of Type O Negative. Everything about their sound is astonishing, particularly from the albums Bloody Kisses, October Rust and World Coming Down. Of course their other albums were great also. How I miss you, Peter! 💚
One of my favorite guitarists, a complete riff machine. Also, Rest In Peace Peter Steele
Damn "COLD BEER!" is gonna be stuck in my head all damn day now haha...
I'm playing it as soon as the video is over! "Cold Beer" is an overnight sensation!
COLD BEER!!!🍻
I'm totally covering that song!
yeah that was opposite of terrible
He was destined for Type O 'cause that riff sounded like it could've been a hidden track on one of their albums.
He was able to go out cause his roots weren't showing
This needs to be longer...
Yes way longer
Absolutely
This needs to last DAYS, I would gladly pay hundreds of hard-earned dollars to watch him play Type O stuff in this setting and tell stories...
Yah, like biopic scale - longer! I didn't even know his name was Kenny until now! I feel like a fucktard
@@ClickToPreview Yup! Concurred - let's start a petition or gofundme or something to whack that weed! He's sooooo down to Earth!
I swear..when Kenny was singing towards the end, he sounded just like Chris Cornell from both Soundgarden and Audioslave.
God bless him, Josh, Johnny, and most all Peter (RIP).
My introduction to Type O was Bloody Kisses on cassette, and I listened to it so much that I wore out 3 copies before finally upgrading to CD's for my music collection. Still one of my favorite bands and albums of all time. RIP Peter.
Pete was an underrated bass player, the way he lays a foundation under a riff is quite unique and innovative. His tone was otherworldly to me, the stuff he does on the World Coming Down album will haunt my psyche forever. The chorus to God is Dead from Carnivore gave me nightmares as a kid back in the day before Type O came out. Bottom line, Pete had a unique musical voice and his genius cannot be denied.
Finally a musician honest about his riff inspiration!!! What an awesome dude
Best Gear Factor Video of all time! Type O Negative was ahead of their time. Luckily to have been able to witness them live several times. This makes my day every time I watch it.
I'm literally devastated that I never got to see you guys live. My favorite band forever and always 💚
Kenny has really been doing the rounds lately. And I love it. Can't get enough of Kenny and Type O
Kenny is a such a good dude. Not the flashiest but would always come up with poignant note selection, powerful chords, and huge tone. Type O is surely missed.
You never got the full recognition you deserve. I did see your bad ass playing one time live. Will never forget it!
Kenny has been around so fucking long. Love and respect him forever
Kennys got the chops and the voice. He doesnt get enough recognition
The heavy-as-fuck riff from Peter that Kenny's playing at 3:40 is from the song Prelude to Agony
This was a freaking treat to watch.
I could listen to him play, sing and speak for days. Such a talent!
One of my favorite guitarists
I know I will forever do my part to keep Type O Negative alive. One of the most underrated bands ever. I will cherish our time together always.
I like his dark style way of playing guitar. Type O Negative was an incredible band that accompanied me through much of my youth, and inspired me to continue playing guitar where I'd given up with other bands.
Just listening to these riffs...I'm back in high school blasting Bloody Kisses :)
When he started singing insomnia my jaw dropped. He’s so talented and underrated dammit, I hope this new album gives him the recognition he deserves 🤘🏼
Dude I could watch a couple hours of Kenny doing this, telln stories while riffn out. Cold Beer! 🤘🎸🤘🍻
I had a half sister who was 9 years older than me in the 1970s.
I was seven when she bought me the first Sabbath record.
I remember being scared to pieces when I saw the cover & heard the opening riff, but it changed
my little 7 year old girl brain forever.
In a way that I'm eternally grateful for.
My favourite Type O riff is in Everything dies.
I had an MRI and I swear it sounded like the darkest riff from it.
It made me so happy while I was in the machine.
I told the tech to check it out & wrote it down for him since he heard the machine every day.
I don't know if he just thought I was nuts or if he listened & was enlightened & thrilled, but it sure
made the experience better.
I had another one a year later (horse accidents to back) and the machine was new.
It sounded like cheap synth tones and I was pretty disappointed:))
Saw them live in Glasgow, Scotland, World class, Peters voice didn't falter, They spoke away to the crowd, Played all the favourites, Amazing band!
It's pretty cool how the Type O riff's on their own-- without the keyboards, overall production and the gravitas of Pete's voice are just very classic rock and roll.
Silvertomb's album is pretty awesome too. Waiting is probably my favorite track, even though it's about as far from Type O or Seventh Void as it gets.
LOVE this guy's playing, and he was the perfect guy for Type O!
I always thought that his tone on type o albums was 10-gain 0-mids but it sounds super thicc here
I think a lot of it is that Peters bass was scooped to fuck 😂
I don't think all of that chorus did his tone much of a favor either
that guitar has super heavy syrings
Most of the tone was Peter honestly lol
Looks like he's plugged into an ampeg bass amp. Lots of bottom end, sounds like a lot of gain and some mid, too.
Kenny is gifted! I love his style!
Kenny is and always will be one of my favorite guitar players. Guy was a genius in the key of W. His phrasing was amazing. When Peter died, its like Kenny's spark went with him. Its like it starts to come back when he plays here. I'd love to sit down with him and just listen to him jam.
Teach me your guitar ways Kenny? This was an awesome look at his riffs. I miss Type O Negative like everyone else here. RIP Peter Steele.
4:55 a great song writing lesson for the beginners
1: Take any riff you love
2: Twist it around a little bit
Loved the video I wish it was longer and that his playing wasn’t cut off! We need more content with him
I think this is one of the best guitar tones I’ve heard in a while. Bass heavy which I love, mids are tight and not too nasally on the trebs. Kenny is way underrated.
Great musician!!!!
I miss The Green Man, Peter Steele!!!💚🖤🤘
Well, it’s worth remembering Peter is still with us in spirit. Type O forever 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤🤘
@@MichaelD8393 Yeah!!!🤘🖤💚
Green man... love that song..
@@MIZORAM_mafaka_hnamte One of Type O's best.
Or as Peter would put it: "One of our least worst." 😂
@@MIZORAM_mafaka_hnamte Me too!!!🙂💚🖤🤘
Man Type O Negative hits me hard when listen to them! It never gets old!
Fucking fantastic guitarist, And not to mention vocalist. Type o negative had such a beautiful, dark and unique sound. It’s such a shame that their genius doesn’t get the recognition they deserve...
My boyfriend at the time, 1990, loved Type O and introduced me to their music. Actually, speaking of introductions, I did meet Peter Steele in the early 90s, I believe it was at Studio One in Newark, here in New Jersey. Anyway, I too became a fan and saw them play twice. I also was lucky enough to see Carnivore in the city too, probably around 1990. I didn't want to like the song, "Carnivore" because of the lyrics but couldn't help it, although I couldn't sing along out loud. My favorite Type O album has always been "Slow Deep and Hard". "Gravitational Constant" and "Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity" were my favorites. Who else could come up with such lyrics... "Practicing freelance gynecology/ Where there's a womb there's a way / With you it's for free" You've also gotta love the sing-along type section with the repeating backing vocals:: "I know you're f#*king someone else-----/ He knows you're f#*king someone else / I know--- / He knows! / I said I know---! / He said he knows! Ah, memories...
U foocking whoa, WHOA!
@@julianblake8385 Kills me every time I hear YA FUCKIN' HOO-AH!
"The profits preach to forgive and forget, I'm sorry but I'm unable."
He plays with so much feeling and emotion. It's beautiful to watch.
Love watching Kenny. Him and Johnny Kelly are hysterical together. The banter is the best. Never taken too seriously.
Love hearing the older TON riffs!
Saw them with Ozzy and instantly became a hard core fan. Sure miss them.
I wish one of the major companies would try and reach out to Josh Silver. I know he's done with music but it'd be a unique interview and good to hear from him again.
If Kenny and Johnny and get him to do it, no one will. I wish it would happen too❤
A couple of months ago he was in Kenny's house singing "Happy Birthday" to Megan, daughter of Kenny... I think they still are good friends but Josh doesn't have the interest of get in back into music, not even talking about it... Such a shame. Sorry for my bad english, hi from Argentina.
Josh is done with the music business. Period.
Are the forums still open on their website? Where do people in the internet go to talk about Type O these days?
@@stanpillis is it because the death of Steele
Still listen to this band on a consistent basis. Such great music.
Fucking love Kenny. Typo is amazing..... So glad i was able to meet them.
Of course he'd play with a green pick lol

I love Kenny's Tone
Pete was a huge part of the band and his voice and lyrics were pretty incredible, but all four of those dudes made the band whole. Hickey is so underrated!
Had the pleasure to see them May 31, 1997 Ozzfest: Santonio. Peter came down this long stairway. Damn, they were tight and sounded great. Miss this band.
....and suddenly Kiss sounds like Type O Negative....
Whem you tune down that far, everything sounds like Type O 💚🖤💚🖤
Fuck Kiss.
@Joseph Nickell they're a bunch of money hungry makeup wearing pricks. Try this one on for size, Rush used to open for them back in the day and Kiss would never let them have soundcheck before a gig.
@@thenumberofthebeast2 I hate kiss as well but is that really true? No sound check? If so that's a whole new low.
@@thenumberofthebeast2 Um, they got along very well with RUSH. Plenty of photographic evidence, and Alex and Geddy still talk about how much fun it was touring with them.

Type O Negative Forever 💚
🖤🤘🔥🍻
Losing Peter was devastating, but losing all of Type O Negative was utterly heart-breaking. Just hearing this sent chills through my entire being, Keep that magic alive, Kenny!
Best band ever!! Best ideas, arrangements, feeling.. Kenny is the best.. I love them all to death..
I've never, ever missed a band more than I miss Type O. Kenny was as perfect for their sound as Peter. RIP.
This is the best "Favorite Riffs" video Loudwire has ever put out.
