As a fan of his for over 20 years, this news is hitting me pretty hard.
Literally 1 hr before I got the text message from my bassist Hank that he had died, I was in a diner in Brooklyn with a friend and were talking about
Carnivore and Type O Negative. My friend and I were talking about how glad we were that Pete had got sober and that a new Type O record and tour were
on the horizon.
I used to keep a record of all of the shows I went to starting from the very first in May of 1988 to around late 2000 and I had recently noticed that
the 20 yr anniversary of Type O's first show had passed, March 23rd 1990 @ L'amour in Brooklyn and that the ICEMEN and AMERICAN EAGLE were the
openers. I was there and I was 16 yrs old, checking out Pete from CARNIVORE's new band and I loved them from that day on. They were called REPLULSION
then and were selling the green colored demo that I bought that night and still own to this day. They went from NEW MINORITY, to REPULSION, to SUB
ZERO to finally TYPE O NEGATIVE.
Pete meant a lot to me, and he meant a lot to Brooklyn.
I would say that he was without a doubt the most successful Brooklynite to ever come out of the HC/Metal scene and a true "Brooklyn Bastard" if there
ever was one.
CARNIVORE and TYPE O NEGATIVE have had a tremendous impact on my life and I am really beside myself right now.
Rest in Peace my brother.
You will be forever missed.

they just did a little tribute to Pete on Howard Stern.
They played the Type O cover of 'Cinnamon Girl' by Neil Young and they talked about how he was on the Private Parts soundtrack and how he whipped out
his cock for Robin when he was on the show.

Goddamnit, man this sucks. I just heard the guy finally defeated his personal demons. Now this.
^^^^^^ What was his demons?
Cocaine, alcohol and depression. I have read some interviews with him and after fighting them for years, he finally got it under control. I don't know
for sure but it sounds like he got cleaned up but the damage to his body was already done.
While I'm not much a fan of stuff Pete did post slow deep and hard, i must say the man did what he did well and I'm sad to hear he's gone.
here's my personal Pete Steele moment:
Philadelphia 1992 or so: Merch booth @ troc
some girl to Pete: You Rule my world!
Pete:you're doomed....sips soda ....leaves
Diablo: 17 and aplauding in head
I remember my sister and I laughing our asses off at a Type O show because of the line of women at the side of the stage lined up hoping to meet Peter
Steele. It was all leather, latex, and lace.
‘Do you know what a love letter is? It’s a bullet from a fucking gun. Straight through your heart.’
