TO: All Peter Steele, Type O Negative & Carnivore fans & supporters:
Please join me in keeping this man's incredible music & memory alive. I would like to say that I am incredibly moved by your continued expressions of sympathy & kind words of support, especially those posted well after Peter's passing on to a better place. I still talk to Peter all the time. His spirit is everywhere, all around us. Listen, look & experience his incredible legacy.
TO: All Peter Steele, Type O Negative & Carnivore fans & supporters:
It has taken me a very long time to address this issue: The tragically premature demise of my dear friend, Petrus Thomas Ratajczyk. As much as you believe that you knew about this man & his music, TRUST ME, you only know a FRACTION of his genius & his benevolence to humanity. This man cared for his mother like a saint. He fed stray animals & he gave away money until he had none left.
@MrMarcCarnivore Despite the agressive style of His music, I have always noticed something Very spiritual and peacefull about Pete's demeanor. I have to believe that He was at peace with God. Thank's for Your insight and God Bless.
I ain't ur fuggin brother! Actually, the song Race War caused Earl Root and Disturbed some angst because they had a black bass player and the band thought it was a bigoted song, I felt it was not the case, and still do
Whoever started the thread dissing the short hair: WTF is up? Didn't you ever hear SOD - another NYC crossover band - before: "It doesn't matter how you wear your hair. It's what's inside your head."
I have hair down to my ass practically and a nasty beard filled with lice, but I don't give a fuck about how some other guy grooms himself. How gay can you get?
he had short hair here because he was ready to give up the band at this point and become a nyc police officer, but ended up doing type o negative insted and then let his hair grow back.
@bigfuckingdaddy interesting. i spotted pete in a cro mags video. i'm pretty sure its him as the cro mags video is from the same year as this, and pete said he used to go see the cro mags :)
@bigfuckingdaddy wow i never knew he comdidered the PD!!! i know he loved working for the Sanitation Dpt. and often said he wanted to quit music and go back to that.....thanks
@msnikish I think his home life was messed up and music kept him mostly sane, however, he did have some issues with his family wanting to commit him to an institution, that hurt him as I recall. He was at odds with members of his own family. RIP, Pete. And everyone else, Bin Laden is dead and remember, you don't fuck with the EAGLE!
@msnikish - Mr. Marc from Carnivore here, yes, the real, actual, Mr. Marc (playing guitar, on the left side of the screen). Thank you very much for your kind and supportive interest in my dear departed friend & our old band. FYI: Although Peter often wore an NYC Sanitation Dept. t-shirt, & although Louie's father was a Sanitation Dept. employee, Peter himself never worked for the Sanitation Dept., he worked for the NYC Parks & Recreation Dept., which also collects refuse in NYC public parks.
@bigfuckingdaddy I read he worked for his regular job as a city worker in the park, perhaps sanitation worker, I believe, but he was not going to give up that job and tour, so one example he might have cut his hair was for that day job
@bigfuckingdaddy - Mr. Marc from Carnivore here, yes, the real, actual, Mr. Marc (playing guitar, on the left side of the screen). Pete did not have short hair here because he was "ready to give up the band at this point and become a NYC Police Officer". His hair was short at this show because it was just growing back in, after he had recently shaved his head completely, just a month or two before this particular L'amours show.
@bigfuckingdaddy - The reason Pete had shaved his head was twofold: 1) For shock value: At the time Peter shaved his head, we (Carnivore) were scheduled to perform at a CBGB's "Hardcore Matinee" show on the L.E.S. in NYC, & Peter thought it would shock & humor everyone if he appeared at a hardcore show (attended by mostly skinheads & punk rockers - no metalheads) w/o his trademark long hair.; 2) Pete was just getting into Hardcore & immediately embraced its culture: including shaved heads.
@bigfuckingdaddy - Pete was not, "...ready to give up the band at this point and become a nyc police officer..." Quite the opposite. This show took place almost an entire year before our (Carnivore's) 2nd record, "Retaliation", was even released. If you listen closely to, "Race War", you'll notice that the lyrics & song arrangement are completely different than the recorded version (on "Retaliation"). Pete was still working on the song but was excited to "test it" before a live audience.
@bigfuckingdaddy - Pete was not, "...ready to... become a nyc police officer...". I have no recollection of Peter ever applying to the NYC Police Academy. Peter worked for the NYC Parks & Recreation Dept. (both during the descent of Carnivore & during the rise of Type O Negative), & was assigned to various duties in Brooklyn & Manhattan public parks, including; Sanitation, driving trucks, caring for grounds & even maintenance at a public pool. He loved nature & animals. He was not destructive.
wow, this great , that dont even look like pete, never saw him with short hair , great footage , brings me back to ole days , seeing bands at L Amours
