Peter Steele of Type O Negative interview 1997

[ladycplum]

His accent...sometimes it sounds like a little hint of British seeps in, even though he's a New Yawker....

[Temaile]

Am I the only one that finds it both hilarious and rude that the interviewer is completely ignoring Josh all the time?

[Lazzle22]

His way of speaking reminds me of Devin Townsend

[trex6321]

He was a prick didnt like him much as a person but the music is awesome and thats what matters the most type o wont be forgottten

[VooDooXII]

WHAT A VOICE

[Tintamar5678]

I was 19 when this interview happened, started listening to these guys a few years before this. I'm 33 now and still listening. When I'm 50 I will still be listening. When I'm dead... I will still be listening. Type O Negative is a Legend and has a place in my life, memories, and was during one of the best times in my life. I need a tattoo of the type o negative symbol. Definitely worthy enough to wear.

[psikochick2]

We miss you pete. P.S. am i the only one who thinks he looks like Nathan Explosion from Metalacolypse's Dethklok?

[FocuSzUzumaki]

@psikochick2 Correction : Nathan Explosion looks like him .. The Creator of the show was a huge fan of type o negative and peter steele ... so it could be possible lol

[DiegoRmolano]

I asked Jon Scnepp, (character designer for Metalocalypse) and he said "Nope, not based on any one dude, i just came up with them from my head from a total mix of ideas" - I work at titmouse (Metalocalypse's animation studio)

[reminiscentofrose]

What a sincere, smart, beautiful man

[VredesStall]

Is that really Pete's sister at 03:00 - 03:00?? Also... what is that into music they are playing at the same time they are both walking up the stairs?? One last thing... I know this might sound cheesey as hell... but I almost thought that was Ville Vallo (or H.I.M) singing at 04:15... though I guess that's not all that far-fetched... considering Ville Vallo has sited Type O- as one of his/ their influences.

[WriterMan79]

@VredesStall The song in the background, playing when they're walking up the stairs, is a track from their 1991 debut album, "Slow, Deep, and Hard." It's entitled "Glass Walls of Limbo (Dance Mix)." A "sort-of" instrumental, if you will. And, I think that may be one of Peter's sisters walking with him there, since his girlfriend at that time had red hair. She's with Peter on their home video/DVD, "After Dark."

[luisaheavymetal]

Josh Silver remembers my poodle!

[XXALEXX2626]

I love you peter steele<3 youre soo sexy! AHH I miss you! I want you :D

[1978deus]

@frostgiant13 It just after this time that he got into heavy drugs. Before that though, he was obviously taking care of his body.

[mellodge]

I saw them on that tour in the UK. Same set, back drop and snow :)

[GiantSlayer276]

Is the performance from that night up online?? Looks like it was a good one, especially Black No. 1

[2redaces]

R.I.P. Peter Steele. Life killed you too soon.

Please don't dress in black

When you're at his wake

Don't go there to mourn

But to celebrate

[RandyLeeSnyderJr]

God.. I miss Peter ):

[chickinshock]

Josh Silver is wrecked!!!lol

[bretzagar]

He's cool.

[aqswize]

HOLY SHIT ITS NATHAN EXPLOSION

[SuicideNation]

@aqswize :facepalm: Oh you kids... Nathan Explosion is Peter Steele.

[cartmammainia]

@SuicideNation yeah. he kinda looks like George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher from cannibal corpse too.

[00inthistwilight00]

Josh looks off chops

[andrewkenworthy]

keyboardist looks like he just got a shot of heroine..probably did..

[Scrubsfanatic90]

"I don't try to look mean, it just comes naturally" Hahaha ^.^ R.I.P Pete Steele

[MrHideyoursheep]

God he was sooo fucking funny!

[TheLydia666]

love you :'(

[DarkWolfen]

And Type O Negative never became a 'dead horse'.

[asukax]

And Im still thinking to myself, Why I didnt marry him. damn...

[burtonchalmers]

when a viking is born in a musical age...:)

[6669996660001]

That girl on 3:18 wants his dick so bad LMAO

[BrittMonkey]

Such a smart, well spoken guy. RIP Pete, you are missed.

[thunderscratch66]

good god, why did this guy have to go? i just don't get it. plus alot the words of his music and then his death....its almost creepy, the way he would have wanted it. man....i hope when i die, peter steele and randy rhoads wound up wherever i do.

[British0Pixie]

W-O-W!

I'm not a 'fan' of Type O Negative, but was looking this guy up because my friend Natalie had posted a photo on her FB page of her photography in remembrance of this guy 'Peter Steele' and I thought he was a bloody porn star. I was like 'Natalie, what are you doing love? She was like 'Wiki him ya daft Brit', so I did and here I am. But looking at this guy here and his last interview in 2007 is like night and day! His addictions REALLY did him something awful.

KIDS, DON'T DO DRUGS! = /

[n2trippin73]

Peter made his mark and split. God Bless You Pete, my hero is dead again

[itsmyreligion]

RIP PETER STEELE. 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH TODAY. YOU ARE MISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MikkaelXII]

Peter Steel simply a great person! R.I.P.

[SanguineAddiction62]

Lol "that's my sister"

[BlackMarketBakesale]

Type O was never "beating a dead horse" their music was always interesting album to album.

[leonakita]

The blonde, pierced to shit, TWEEN @ 3:18 is meth'd out !.... gee, look at daddy's little girl now :>\

[flamingaxe791]

Omfg Peter is very briliant, a new breed of metal singer, respect and all. A sad loss

[ASHLEYDEALUX]

IS THAT WHO NATHAN EXPLOSION SUPOSED TO BE

[leonakita]

See?... this is why one must choose words carefully when they are young. Pete became a parody of the fat, out of shape guys with flabby tits and guts hangin all over, that he critisizes here. Sadly, eating steroids like PEZ, washing them down with Jagar and red wine by the bottle, and sucking up COKE in a fashion that would even impress Charlie Sheen made him a living , breathing TRAINWRECK( up until APRIL 10, 2010 anyways).

[FuckYouAndFuckOff]

..."out of shape guys, up on stage" *gag*

XD! He was amazing.

[MrScott28409]

R.I.P we will all miss u Peter Aka: the beast

[Fraustt]

This is fantastic!! Thanks for posting this

[KCKruel]

You'll always be in my CD player no matter the era, my age, or the economy. Type O Negative forever in my headphones

[killsaus]

This interview shows the beauty of the band, and here at youtube we can see that all fans are loyal! 182 likes 0 dislikes!

[MickeyLove01]

He could have played Jaws's son in the Bond movies

[StyrbjornStarke]

sound mind, sound body. good philosophy right there

[COCFAN1985]

Paul Mccartney is terrible now

[ruteparedes]

"It's my sister" which one Peter?! LOL freaking hilarious you were damn it. you are missed.

[RedEmeraldMoon]

rip you handsome beast :'( we all miss you

[69crafty]

"is it because your more happy than you were before?"

"certainly not!"

hahaha classic.

[Antiprax]

LOL that guy talks weird

[Nem33]

October Rust is my one of my favorite albums of all time, 2nd to Master of Puppets. Those 2 albums combined basically created my own music style. :)

[mikeborja1]

he was a very smart person, rip Peter

[xtwwrestling123]

Is it just me, or does Pete look different here?

[MichaelaxSays]

@Antiprax i think he asked "do you do any martial arts?" or something...

[Antiprax]

Dude why does the reporter asks ..''Di I need some macho and some lacta? or somthing like that?wtf

[ruteparedes]

@Antiprax I believe the reporter says something along the lines iof "You do some martial art or something like that?" hence Peter's comment about wanting to get into kick-boxing.

[MsGypsyhawk]

I MISS PETER STEELE SO MUCH :-( ITS HARD TO WATCH HIS MUSIC VIDEOS WITH OUT TEARS !! GOSH IT HURTS MY HEART. SADLY THE WORLD WE LIVE IN PETER IS PROBABLY BETTER OFF WHERE HE IS THAN WHERE WE ARE ALL STILL STUCK WITH OUT HIM :-(

[verushka00]

Seeing this just makes me even more so proud of bearing a forever marking on my wrist of a beautiful mind. Peter you will forever b e a part of me. I love you to death.

[Gresavio]

Beautiful and talented, with a touching voice and a bad face that leaves too sexy. I missed a beat, even not knowing. My boyfriend looks a lot like him, lucky me!

[bzagar1]

Their personalities always cheer me up. I can watch Pete's interviews all day,

[ruteparedes]

thanks for sharing.

[mushrmhd6661]

if Peter did kick boxing i wouldnt wanna mess with him even MORE

[mypeacelily]

He was so beautiful.

[soleshifter]

If any one miss's Peter like I do, then check out a band called "The 69 eyes" watch the video "Gothic Girl" he sings like Peter & that is help'g to fill the void for me. The band has been around for awhile.... Also in the Goth Metal world is a band called "The End of You" ck them out ! Lastly, another band is Nosferatu they do a song called "Close" If it is easier just jump thru here & go to my channel page & watch the videos.

[ValimoVouti]

Its been 6 months today, when He sang His last song.

Rest in calm Down there.

-Ville, Finland-

[uGUYsRdumb]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha 'their bellies are hanging out and their tits are all flabby" hahahahahahahhahahahah

[megamanthehitman]

type o negative,nirvana,tool,smashing pumpkins,hendrix led zepplin, guns n roses,sound garden, rage agianst the machine and red hot chili peppers forever

[Zactra73]

but I don`t try to look mean, I think that comes naturally. hahahaha legendairy!

[soleshifter]

Yes... We respected your body too !!!!

[Danzigadoo666]

This video is so great! I've never had the pleasure of seeing Type O Negative live. The scientists need to get working on those time machines, dammit.

[sessionmessiah]

Peter is an incredibly Honest artist, and that manifests through his lyrics&songs. Type O' Negative 's music is to be listened to at night, by candle light i think. Really makes you fly ! This footage is a GIFT to recent fans like me Thank You Sooo Much whoever posted this !!!!

[hechaenamerica]

R.I.P. dear Peter thkx 4 that music

[oscartedmiles]

Terrific footage. It's incredible to know that he still had so many songs to create over the ensuing 12 years. One mourns for the songs he still had left to write

[Matthew77]

My favorite Band of all time. I miss Pete everyday.

[bustercrescent]

I love peter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zachtblauw]

"Is it because you're more happy now than before?"

"Certainly not "

Hehe

[AnaraneSeragone]

Watching Peter back then makes my heart ache...if only he would have stayed strong and taken care of himself. We lost such a talented artist and a amazing, funny, lovable man.

[dusadusa]

wow, pete looks really HOT in this interview. josh seems to be sleeping, was he drunk already? =D miss you, big green man. <3 RIP

[janiceyt]

I love Peter but I can't stand how he says here to keep your body well, sound body sound mind but yet he's killed himself on years of drugs and drinking. Too bad he didn't practice what he just preached and we'd still have him with us.

[joelaka3pac123]

@janiceyt well u got to concider times were happier then

[SlayeCohen]

@janiceyt Its like he say, "I don't base my life upon fear, about what happens tomorrow, i live today". So, he lived happy i think.

[67675656565655656565]

josh looks like a chimp

[frederickbabyyeah]

id love to say i respect and enjoy Peters music and find him atractive but i havent fallen into hero worship or anything like that. but I HAVE. he lives on a golden pedestal in my mind.

[JusOrdinary]

this interview he's hot, and he's so damn intelligent...wish I could have met him and had a conversation with him

[bricemathieu]

hahaha no wonder he "imagines" paul mccartney in bed

[JAVIER7864]

"that's my sister"

that's more like the bitch who fucked you and back stabbed you

[DreadedEd]

Josh looks baked

[JAVIER7864]

@DreadedEd he's always baked, and if not, he's a pretty chill dude

[GuiltyInnocenceX]

An angel on earth is now our angel in death. Watch over us all, Peter. We miss and love you!

[IntwatPapsmir]

Observations: 3:03 that's Elizabeth before she crushed him; Mike A. (tour mgr) right behind them; the audio/video for all the live segments here is sped WAAAAY up; and last but not least, I miss Peter from back then when we were both halfway sane...

[21love4ever]

Peter is freakin gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[burtonboxrider]

i love how at the very end security was clapping too

[aNegativ]

13 years ago. on my birthday.

and i had tickets for a show two month later and couldn't go there.

ach scheiße.

mens sana in corpore sano.

sozusagen...

[hauntedheart7]

Thank you for this great video. I agree this was TON in their prime. Peter you are sadly missed. I was shocked by the depth of my sorrow for his passing.

[frederickbabyyeah]

"looking out into the audience and wandering if any of these kids are my kids" AHAHAH XD.

thats gotta be one of the best qoutes.

[poisonoir]

a gentle giant indeed...Love you Peter..forever missed

[AndyWitmyer]

This was amazing. Peter Steele and Type O Negative in its absolute prime. God were they good - its sad that it took Peter to die for so many people to realize it.

[stdelcambre]

@AndyWitmyer dude u sound like a total fanboy u aren't a tru fan

[Anacinc]

@stdelcambre First of all who are you to decide if someone is a ' true' fan or not and second, what's your definition of a 'true' fan?

[Bleepbloopd]

@stdelcambre ...? what would be the difference between the two? Waitletmeguessyoure12yearsold

[Wolfmammy]

Peter thinks about what Paul McCartney's like in bed! LOL

[4SomeGuy20]

If anyone has the actual show, I'd like to see it. It looks blistering!!!

[SeanFlaharty]

This is one of the best Type O interviews I have seen. Thanks for posting. I know what Peter means when he says "We're just as left as we are right" but that phrase could mean two different things as one half of the band is left handed (Peter and Josh), the other right. Pretty cool.

[DottyLomax]

@SeanFlaharty I'm sure that thought didn't even cross his mind. Don't really understand the need to throw that comment in... Regardless, Peter plays bass right-handed, correct?

[SeanFlaharty]

@DottyLomax - I am sure it didn't cross his mind either. I was just pointing out a fact about the band that was somewhat rare. The reason I mentioned it was because Peter told me half the band was left handed and I thought I would share it. Yes, Peter does play bass right handed but does everything else left handed.

[GuiltyInnocenceX]

He looked incredible in this video. <3 I had the priveledge of meeting him back in October of 2009. I'm a big, big fan and there have been only a couple of days since Peter's passing that I have not cried. That's how devastated I am by his loss. I'll miss him forever.

[CameronDubzWTF]

Peter was really a great man!

[SaschaS01]

Peter, after re-watching all the TON footage, interviews and hearing your often well-thought and considerate answers, I have to say you were probably a) one of the most underrated singers/composers of today's music scene b) certainly one of the most honest and nicest "rockstars", a person of integrity, which is rare! I didn't know I would miss you and your band's stuff so much now that you're gone! Hope you are @a better place now.

[peartisgod]

@SaschaS01 Not to mention one of the funniest.

[thunderscratch66]

@SaschaS01 man, he most certainly is. 

[MrBubbles0o0o]

@SaschaS01 i met him at Wacken 2007

what you said fits him exactly

he's honest, and really nice towards his fans

[thefacelessmonster]

Man, I missed the snow machines in the later years. That tour was Type O Negative at their absolute prime.

[reneeray0915]

This is awesome, I loved him, always will, RIP Pete
