It wasnt just the cocaine and alcohol that killed him. What also played a huge role in his death was his steroid abuse. Infact if he just did lots of cocaine and drank and never touched any steroids he might have still been with us today. Because too much of them enlarges your heart. And a giant heart on a giant person mixed with constant alcohol and cocaine = death....
@neworder36 - Can't believe you didn't go just because Josh wasn't there. Who cares? Peter Steele was TON, without him they never would have existed. And, it's good they didn't wait a few more months, Pete passed away not long after this.
I can't believe they toured witthout Josh. One reason I didn't go to this tour... huge element missing... they could have waited a few months for Josh to finish school...
Peter Steele: “After my mother passed away last year and a couple of other things happened, I pretty much got back to my faith. I was born Roman Catholic. I go to church on Sunday and I do read the Bible. I went to confession for the first time in 30 years. And the priest was very happy that I had come back to church.I’ve always thought that the meaning of life was to try to find something to live for. Now I realize, all this time, it is finding something to die for. I will die for my faith.
wow.. his poor health and age are apparent in this clip!.. very sad..his nearby mainstay bottle of wine replaced with and energy drink.. he looks tired and makes several errors as he appears to struggle to recall this song. Its kinda heartbreaking seeing what his lifestyle did to him in just a decade. Big ppl already have the clock against them, the drug /alcohol abuse just sped it up... Still as creepy a guy as he was, he had a strange charm and realism about him. He will be sorely missed.
me and my finace seen them 2 days later in clifton park ,new york his last tour our first time seeing them live and our last ... peter we love you and miss you ...
type o is one of my favorite bands and always will be. their music is very special to me for reasons i'll not go into... sadly i never got to see them live.
that said, i hate to say it, but peter doesn't look or sound so good in this performance. was his health failing at this point?
@eyepatchinc His vocals sound pretty good here, actually. He does look pretty haggard, but he definitely doesn't look like he was about to die soon, here. And honestly, again, like has already been said, at least he's honest about reading the lyrics. Very casual about it. Still into the stage banter. Still puts on a good show. And it's a damn shame he's no longer here. :(
@Burnyoursins agreed with most of what you said. it's just that i've seen/heard other performances where he sounds far better. no reason to argue, we're on the same side here. i'm just saying he had a much better voice than is represented here.
WTF is he reading the words?That totally sucks,I know Ozzy reads the words,but never Peter.What a let down.I fuckin LOVE THIS BAND,and have NEVER seen him read the lyrics...and to make it so obvious,even Ozzy had them taped on the floor
@lorilynnful considering Peter's height, tapping the lyrics on the floor would not make for easy reading.
At least he's honest about it, not as some lame a*ss posers out there who have tv monitors disguised as speakers showing the lyrics, teleprompter style. I have huge respect for Peter Steele and for the fact that he was always and most of the times to his detriment, upfront and genuine and never tried to gloss anything over, be it good, bad or ugly.
WTF is he reading the words?That totally sucks,I know Ozzy reads the words,but never Peter.What a let down.I fuckin LOVE THIS BAND,and have NEVER seen him read the lyrics
@lorilynnful Well, he read the words because of the same reason as Ozzy does. That's what drugs do to you, as they have done to my 28-year old friend who barely remember me when he sees me. And bare in mind, this is only half a year before his death.
The best performance I've seen from this late in his life. He was still an amazingly talented performer, he just often drank too much on stage to be able to sing well.
@superbeefus actually he was sober here and doing ok for himself again, he sings and plays fucking great on this video. i have seen him in way worse circumstances then this.. gone too soon!!!
Poor Peter. He looks so sick and disgusting in this video, like an aged slob. Its a tragedy he died so young. I wish he quit the coke and the alcohol sooner, I wish he took care of his body. Then maybe he would still be here. Rest in Peace Peter, you will be missed. We know you had more to say. (BTW they sound amazing in this video!)
Watching these most recent videos it looks like Pete is really getting better, I saw them live in Poland in 2007 and he sounded terrible, also didn't care to sing/play parts of songs cause he was so wasted. The Carnivore 2007 tour was bad in that aspect as well judging by the videos I've seen. In this he's still not the Peter Steele he used to be vocally but it's so much better it's beyond comparision, I'm glad.
i think people should give pete a breck i mean he just stop doin drugs and drinkin,and when u stop after doin it for a lil while ur body and mind are not the same anymore and plus they sound better than in past years like in 08 07 06
He's in bad shape. he looks like a Heavy Metal MEATLOAF. sorry i love this band but im not blind...The guy is reading his own lyrics for god sake, he cant remember.
What the fuck? Is he looking at a lyric sheet? That is the first time I have every seen a "professional" metal band use a music stand live... They are like a cover band of themselves... Don't they practice there songs before they take them on tour??? Totally weak...
My favorite band of all time but i have to admit that it makes me very sad to see Peter in this shape, i hope he stops hiding behind chemicals Booze and excuses, he is 48 and theres moore in life than that..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Did you say metallica is starting to lose it? Go listen to death magnetic.. You call ur self a big metallica fan.... They are doing better now then they were before St. Anger.... Go change ur name to "guy who doesnt know shit about music" =)
Are you kidding me!!! DM is way better than St Anger... lol listen to that stupid ass snare drum that Lars uses!!!! My god it was terrible! and where the fuck are the solos in that album??? I mean if u watch metallica videos between st anger and DM you will see that as a band they are way more coordinated now! Sheese!!!
HAHA st anger was metallica gone emo lol, it was a sad excuse for an album, even metallica hated it haha go watch some interviews on it..... HAHAHA wow dude.
Peter went through some family issues and resorted to drug use if I'm not mistaken and that might be a reason he occasionally looks at the lyrics because the chemicals took a toll maybe. Either way he still kicks ass.
I noticed you were mentioning the songs in the description. The song between Come As You Are and Smoke On The Water is a song called "Aqualung", by Jethro Tull.
I don't want to remember him like this... he's free of this now. He's young and strong and beautiful again, and forever.
