![]() ![]() Or when you watch some backstage stuff, they were always pulling pranks on each other (is that how the cover of Steel O Dick came to be? (btw don’t look it up if you don’t wanna see „Steele‘s Steel)). They also included a new song, Are You Afraid, aswell as a cover of Sabbath‘s Paranoid and Hendrix‘s Hey Joe, retitled as Hey Pete. So what did they do? They went into a studio, re-recorded some songs and added crowd noise and interractions, such as the crowd chanting „You suck!“ or there being a bomb threat, with the latter being based on a real incident. But instead of doing that boring shit, they blew the money on booze and drugs. ![]() You see, after releasing their debut, 1991‘s Slow Deep And Hard, Roadrunner Records told them to release a Live album. Or the 1992 Live album Origin Of The Feces. On every album besides 1999‘s World Coming Down, there’s a joke track, such as Dark Side Of The Womb or October Rust/Untitled. But sonething else that comes to mind is their humor. When you think Type O Negative, what image comes to mind? Goth, dark, edgy, dressed in black (or green in this case). Often, with those quiet sections, you’d often have Pete whispering something about sex or something along with his bass aswell as Josh‘s keyboards, with the best example of this being the beautiful intros to both Love You To Death and Christian Woman. 1 or the „bridge“ in Bloody Kisses just as well as they could do really aggressive parts such as all of Kill All The White People or I Like Goils. ![]() They were able to do quiet parts, often with some whispering or intense moaning or something, such as the intro to Black No. I mean how the fuck did he write an 11 minute song about his dead cat. Be it about a dead cat with the 11 minute song Bloody Kisses (A Death In The Family), about an ex of Peter cheating on him with the 12 minute song Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity or about killing all the white people or hating everyone, Pete Steele was, in my opinion, an extremely underrated lyricist (and musician in general). 1 (Little Miss Scare-All) or Love You To Death, the Carnivore-inspired aggression on songs like Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity or Kill All The White People, or the Punk of I Like Goils or I Don’t Wanna Be Me, they’re incredibly versatile not only in the music but also in the lyrics. Be it their classic Doom/Goth sound on songs like Black No. ![]()
