I died when Kenny did his Peter impersonation when talking about Wolf Moon. Just pure gold.
:))))
Hilarious! That's how it should be when you look back on lost friends and family. Always try and keep the laughs coming.
Facccts😂😂😂
Bro me too 😂
Your comment is a when/when for all of us.
aww man kenny's laugh sounds exactly like the october rust intro
Haha I noticed that too.
I'll listen to Kenny and co tell stories all god damn day long.
Me too.
FK yea give me a bottle and we good to go
Fuck yeah. Good times.
Be a fucking treat! If there was a few unreleased studio songs in a lock box still to come. Im new to this youtube shit so anyway im posting up my shitty little cover songs twanga wanka lang and im listening back to them and im like where have i heard that tone of voice before im thinking on it... it hits i sound a bit like fucken Kenny from type o negitive. I had a crack at black no 1 screwed petes parts as to be expected but yeah im definitely hereing a shitty version of your voice in mine in certain songs.
theres a video on Loudwire of him playing and explaining his favorite riffs. go check it out
"It's about a man who turns into a werewolf while performing cunnilingus on a woman who's menstruating" 😂😂😂😂😂
Priceless.
i can listen to them tell stories literally all day
Rest in peace Peter. We only wish we could have had a few more years of the drab four. Also, their thick Brooklyn accents somehow always seem to make everything funnier.
I want a shirt that says “But Peter, these lyrics are retahded.”
It can have him storming angrily out of a house on the back.
There are websites that make custom shirts.
Wow, I did not know that! The internet is amazing! I also heard of a website where you can watch videos that other people post and sometimes you can write inane comments below the videos. Have you heard of this website?
@@doctordisturbo there are many sites like that.
You're incredible, man
@@doctordisturbo Thank you.
Peter Steele is the author of some of the most romantic and sensual lyrics in rock history.
Absolutely correct
Kenny's French accent was pure gold 😂😂😂
The distortion on “hey Pete” is so wicked ⚰️
I remember discovering Type O 8 years ago and thought about how much of a disservice I did to myself for not having listened to them earlier or sooner. Amazing band, everyone must listen to their music. Listen to "Red Water" on a very dark and dreary fall day and you will know, you will know exactly what the vibe was that Pete was giving out to the world. Hope Pete is happy wherever he may be...what a loss...
I've been listening to them since about 2000, but same thing with me. I didn't listen to them for the longest time, and I couldn't tell you why! Im mad that I didnt give them a chance sooner.
Don't beat yourself up over it. I got into TON 20 years ago. But a lot of bands I was never old enough to get access to or watch live. What's great about a band like TON is their fans are fans for life. This is what makes bands GREAT.
While it sucks feeling like u discovered a band "too late", what's important is that if a band's music is truely timeless, it will have lost none of it's potency so it still resonates as if it's new music. Long Live TON \m/
I mean.. "Be My Druidess" is a phenomenal song.
I'm so happy to hear from Kenny and Johnny, I've been such a huge fan of Type O for 10+ years. Sadly I never got to see them perform live. :/
They were awesome live. Seen them three times in - 95, - 96 and -01. First time I had never even heard of them. Was dragged there by a girl at a festival. Totally blew my mind.
I saw them several times in the ‘90’s. They used to have a Halloween show in Philadelphia every year at the Trocodaro. It was amazing. Everyone dressed up in costumes. They would toilet paper the entire theater. One year they bought 100 egg rolls from the Chinese restaurant next to the Troc and threw them out into the audience. Amazing shows.
You will ;kind of when Silvertomb tours
You will kind of when Silvertomb tours
They were fkn ungodly loud.I miss seeing them.
I know Pete is the obsession (totally agree) but I love all the guys in the band. Theyre amazing.
Type O was soooooo underrated. Their music has so many layers to it and there are parts in almost every song that ‘surprise’ you. Sooooo underrated!
Definitely far from underrated
They were a meme band who were only famous because of Peter's good looks!
@@Bawitdabadabangdadang
You are lost. Lol.
A song i wished they covered is Love will tear us apart by Joy division. Imagine Peter singing that!
@a n t i m a t e r i a I don't think Type O were that juvenile
@@Fireglo they literally called an album "the origin of the feces" and made the cover a close up of Peter's butthole
would have been fucking epic!!🖤
No
sitvisjes I always pictured them covering Head over Heels by tears for fears... I can picture it so clearly
If I could only listen to 1 band for the rest of my life its Type O Negative... Their entire catalog is amazing I couldnt imagine my life without their music in iy
NO OTHER possibility-yup.
This is so amazing. I just wish there were more interviews with Josh, but this is absolutely amazing. I'm now 34, and saw them play at blue cats in Knoxville, Tennessee October of 2008, when I was 22. I will never forget walking up, and seeing johnny sitting in the doorway, smoking a cigarette, and not wanting to be a bother, just watched him for a moment, and snapped a quick pic. I was even invited to come backstage, after the show ended, but ended up not going back, because my boyfriend at the time. I wish to god I had, but I was so nervous and shy. They'll always be in my top 5 favorite bands. I have so many pictures from that night, and will never forget it. Peter was brilliant, hilarious, and kind. Just wish I could have met him and spoke with him face to face before he passed. So again, thank you for this interview! It's amazing to hear them talk about their past records.
This interview had me smiling. Love Type o and hearing them talk about Pete and the band. Love their humour.
Kenny's impressions of Peter are so fun 🤣💕
I think I just peed myself a little laughing at Pete's description of Wolf Moon. 10/10 would do again.
I remember going to signing and josh looked up at my frend, pointed at him and said "HAH! MILLY VANILLY!!"
i originally had thought that 'cinnamon girl' was written by TON. in fact, the cover was so good i wished it was.
For real. I didn´t know the Song was from Neil Diamond as i was listening to Typos Version back in the 90´s.
@@peter10245 Neil Young.
Any cover they did was awesome. Summer Breeze? Cmon, that shit rules
@@peter10245 imagining Niel Diamond's version of Cinnamon Girl has me dying 😂
@@thegoonbats Nine Inch Neil's would be dying to hear this too 😂👍.
R.I.P. St. Petrus. The world lost a bit of green when Pete died.
Black Sabbath wrote in the studio too. It's great that they gave us this look into how they made this album and the demands that the label had on them at the time. Thank you for this
When asked what comes after the success of 'Bloody Kisses' Peter Steele told Metal Hammer magazine: "I intend on selling out. Financial success is the most important thing to me."
Out of that came 'October Rust', their best album.
TON couldn't sell out if they tried.
I'm sure Peter was being completely sarcastic in that remark. The music was all he cared about.
Sounds like Peter's sarcasm
that's his sarcasm, he NEVER was like 'that', he wanted 'their fans' to be happy & give it his all. a few times he forced himself bc of their producer, and it was upsetting to him, realise what u write
@@xJamesxKingx xactly:)
I love Kenny's impersonation of Peter's voice :-)
So funny. I love this band. I miss them so much.
These are great, I can never get enough of these guys.
Guys, thank you so much for this video!!! So nice to see something from these guys. I miss Peter and Type O so much 😭
So comforting seeing these again. Just in time for another winter! Love TON
ok im probably the only 1 that noticed. but, johnnys tapping along to christian woman on the chair lol
I'll never forget when I ruined my buddies day telling him what Wolf Moon was about!
Best band ever, I really miss Peter and Type O Negative
I was in 11th grade when October Rust hit the store shelves, still have the CD in my collection despite being able to access it any time I want on Spotify. A lot of good memories attached to that album, and hearing these funny stories about the songwriting process makes me feel better about my high school cover band struggling to get a good rendition of Black No. 1 and My Girlfriend's Girlfriend.
I love these inside peaks
Is it just me that notices Johnny Kelly doing his drum parts with his fingers in the beginning of the interview?!
I was very confused for a second. I’m just to see them together and tell stories. Miss mr Steele
these days there seems to be a full documentary about most bands, but type o would be a fantastic documentary. there is a solid fan base, and there was a lot of unknown about peter, and the dynamic of the way the band created music.
That was my question they answered about the song writing process!
Good question
Great question 🤘🏼
Gahhbage question!
They played 'light my fire' in London in 1995, was cool
The part about Wolf Moon...hahahahahaha
The Trocadero in Philly was always our favorite place to see you TON!💚💚💚
This was so interesting, thanks for a great interview!!
Forever love Type O🖤
Hey Pete is an AMAZING cover. The call and response between Kenny and Peter is just
6:27 I got to hear them play "Come on baby light my fire" in 1997, I thought it was great.
Loving you was like loving the dead. I miss Peter. R.I.P. I did see them in concert in Worcester MA.
This is so awesome!!! Thanx for posting!
As a NYer, those accents are like a warm hug to my ears.
These guys can over and over with stories, oh man! Pete we miss ya! I'm sure Kenny and Johnny do too!
TYPE O NEGATIVE music rings on forever!
I love when Peter throws it to Kenny
Great interview with Lieutenant Dan and Ron Jeremy
These interviews are so awesome. I bet there are so many more great stories they have to share. What an amazing band!
Look at the drummer drumming with his fingers. He's a real musician just like the whole band
Petah these lyrics are retahded
🤘🏻💚
R.I.P. Pete
They had your number on those lyrics hahhahahhaa
Johnny following the drum beats with his fingers 🖤
Need more interviews with them
I loved the layering in the music - there was beauty in that
Josh is now a paramedic
I love it when they do Peter's voice. HAHAHAHA
💕💎💕
Love this!!!!
Who’s that treasure chest of fun on the left???!! Give me that chair.
Lmfao 🤣
I need that Type O banner!!
Would love to hear the version of Light my Fire!
There’s some bootleg audio and footage of it on UA-cam :D
@@samuelwetz8378 Just checked youtube and I had heard the live version... Somehow forgot :D
@Henri the Horse yeah and I love how in the middle they put in a Gadda da vida
The Beatles medley is my fave cover as well. I had never heard the original songs before and I fell in love with the covers. It gave me something in common with a friend of mine who was a big fan of the Beatles.
Honestly he's a fuckin' siren. I have guy friends who also like Type Of Neg but they kind of make fun of my extreme, magnetic attraction to his voice.
Oh I miss HIM as well
Recognized that laugh straight from the beginning... the same one from the opening of October Rust
6:47 "they don't know any of these songs, we got to do a cover"! Thats hilarious!
Dudes Of "The Pit" Please Do a Documentary on Type O would be Awesome!
NIB back in the ussr and bad moon rising were the best type o covers i saw live
The impressions are just great :) I could listen talk all day
I really miss Peter.
Be my druidess is my favourite song of October Rust! 😅
ABSOLUTE LEGENDS
Fell over this Vid by accident sometimes the internet delivers - GOLD
THANK YOU SO MUCH SERIOUSLY MADE MY DAY
I discovered Type O not too long ago and was shattered to learn Peter (Lord Petrus Steele) had passed, talk about a conflict of emotions glad I found their music devastated at a young artist leaving too soon. Smiled throughout watching this in appreciation for Kenny and Johnny sharing, talking fondly about their mate. I’ve marked this Vid for watching again (14 April)
He wrote fearlessly…. (And that’s why we love him)
But Peter these lyrics are retarded…. (And that’s why we love him)
R.I.P
Love to Kenny, Johnny & Josh 🖤❤💜
Guys this is great, thanks so much for sharing, but can you please bring the music level down? It's really hard to hear everything being said in the interview with the music as loud as it is.
They opened up with magical mystery tour when I saw them in Milwaukee, Pete was dressed like Stallone from the first blood movie
Would have be great to listen that cover of door's light my fire done by Type O. Anyway, too bad i hadn't the opportunity to see them live.
Love you guys... and miss You all! 💚💚💚
🙏🏼 thank you the pit for making that happen
Nice Interview! 🤘
Kenny is hilarious.
Peter's idea of singles HA! I fucking love these guys
These guys were amazing.I thought that they were kind of pretentious, but when you get more close to their music you could actually appreciate how talented they really were as a band. They were fun to watch in live performances too.
Type O Negative
Legends never die!!!
So so missed 💚🖤💔
I will go to an acoustic concert with the remaining members of TON, anytime.
It's the best of their albums IMO
😔 I would like words from Josh too...
DEFINITELY...anything would suffice 6)
Get over it.
@@Cerberus1333 it would be interesting hearing from him and stories from the band. I know you would like to hear too
Josh would like to sincerely apologize to the following-
@@Concentrictech 😄
youngsters dring water, old schoolers drink beer haha fck yes
Daria Awaria well I mean the interviewers have to stay sober
So many beautiful gothic girls at Type O negative shows, I miss you all 💋 : (
I'm glad they are talking about him and type o. Seemed to me like when he died they walked away and didn't want to be associated with it anymore.
Nah, it just died with Mr. Steele. It would have been disrespectful to try and replace the soul of the band. They had to grieve and move on.
I swear to god kenny’s peter impression fucking kills me🤣🤣
One of my biggest regrets is not seeing them live
Great episode:)
They're still as funny as ever
ive only just started listening to this album closely classfilled
Is there a downloadable audio version of the full interview? id love to listen to it again
