    I'm 31 now, but when I was 16 I loved Type O Negative. I saw Type O in 1995 open up for Pantera. There are a few moments in ones life where things change. That night was one for me. It was the first real concert I had ever been to. It set off a chain of events that is still going today. From that night on I became a concert junkie. Hundreds and hundreds of concerts since but it all started that night. Saw them one more time after that. Have been listening to Type O this morning. Just sucks.

    this is very sad, my brother is a huge type o fan, i saw them live with him a couple years back and it was a great show. Lots of great music, and a sound of their own. Type o Negative will truly be missed.

    Wow...if this is true, it is av ery sad day. I love Type O Negative and I am fortunate enough to have seen them in 2007. The last concert I saw with my sister before she died.

    R.I.P. Pete...

    Big time bummer. I really appreciated their unique sound. Not to mention they were Brooklyn boys done proud. I saw them in NYC a few months ago and Pete didn't look good. Perhaps he's in a better place now. They were always their own band, no bullshit and some great songs. Wishing Peter the great peace.

    This is some sad shit right here. I'm listening to "World Coming Down" right now, and I'll be listening to other albums later. Too bad that it's true.

    ah...this is still just really bumming me out. :(

    I just can't believe this... I read the official statement this morning, still hoping it was another joke... I've loved Type O for over a decade. I wasn't lucky enough to see them and now I never will... :cry:

    RIP Peter, you were a true metal/goth legend.
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    One final bump for the late Great Peter Steele !!

    Lily Munster ain't got nothing on you .

    Uh, this sucks big time. I'm listening to Type O repeatedly, and I'm playing all the songs I know on guitar. It's the end of an era. I can only hope that Pete is at peace.

    Type O Negative was/is one of the best metal bands ever. Peter Steele may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten.

    Listening to "World Coming Down" right now. :cry:

    Today is one year since we lost the great Peter Steele. It really isn't fair, but such is life. There's a great tribute about him here if you guys are interested:

    Part 1: http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/04/12/me ... last-days/

    Part 2: http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/04/13/me ... last-days/

    It's a long read, but it's phenomenal. Cheers. RIP Peter.
