I got into Type O Negative the same day i found Dev's music. both have been a big influence in my life.
it is terrible news to know we have lost another talented soul

Glad to see some love for Steele from my fellow Dev fans.
I lost a musical hero today. In my very humble opinion, Peter is up there with legends of metal: Devin, Mikael Akerfeldt, Steve Harris, James Hetfield, Tony Iommi et-al. He was such an original songwriter. The whole reason I started listening to Devin was because of October Rust. I loved that record so much that I wanted to find other "lush sounding" records... and that's how I stumbled on Ocean Machine.
I truly miss him.

Yeah me too, like seriously obsessed to the point where they were all that I listened to for like 4 years. Pretty much wore a Type O shirt to school every day to the point that people just started calling me "type o".
I can't say that I've actually stuck with a band for as long as I did with them. From getting the Bloody Kisses album at 13 I was totally hooked. Other bands I've grown in and out of, but they were just always there. I've always wanted a Type O tattoo, I think now's a good a time as any.
RIP Pete.

Me either.....however, Carnivore is a different story.
The band posted statements on the official website. Josh's is heartbreaking.

Some very poignant words from those who knew him best.

Type O and SYL were the two bands that helped me survive the High School bullshit.
The first song I heard from them was Everything Dies. I didn't know what the hell I was listening to but I loved it. Oh man.... More memories of the music. I use to get picked on the school bus often, just dicked around by a bunch of total pricks. I kept my CD player with me at all times and that was the album (World Coming Down) I would listen to the most to block out the harassment. A lot of my "to hell with the trends and corporate crap" stems from that album. I never dressed dark or was ever troubled, just incredibly backwards and shy-- made for an easy target. It's amazing and frightening what music can do to an individual.
If I had a beer in my hand I would raise it to no more bad news. Because this is just awful.

You have already grasped that Sisyphus is the absurd hero. He is, as much through his passions as through his torture. His scorn of the gods, his hatred of death, and his passion for life won him that unspeakable penalty in which the whole being is exerted toward accomplishing nothing. This is the price that must be paid for the passions of this earth.- Camus
As I already posted in the "UN-awesome" thread, I'm a big fan of Type O.
RIP Pete.
