CONCERT REVIEWS:

"These guys rock, and they better be excellent in concert! I have been a fan af these Gothic Giants for about seven years now and they keep getting better and better! The concert I will be attending will be in Munich Germany in December so when I get my cherry broken I will respond with the details. Until then, I love these guys as artists and lets all thrash on listining to our favorite band!!! If not then listen to Danzig or something." Comments by pimp daddy from Munich, Germany.
"I just got back from the concert TON had in good ole' SF (Oct. 14th) and i must say that i am in total awe of Peter Steele. The concert was held at Maritime Hall and to give you an idea of how intimate the whole thing was, I'll describe the hall: it was the size of a highschool's basketball gym. I was standing only 20 feet from the infamous Steele. He made every nerve in my body stand at attention. My ears pounded from the loudness of the speakers but I didn't even notice that I was going deaf. There was roughly only about 250 poeple there so it was a very enjoyable expeirence. Not much moshing going on. Everyone was too into enjoying the music. The started out playing My Girlfriend's Girlfriend which got the crowd in the right mood. They played a little bit from each album. Peter made comments to the crowd in between songs to get the crowd into a humorus mood. He's the most charming creature alive. But I do have to give credit where credit is due, the other band members are right up there with Peter. Johnny can beat a rhythm on my heart any day. I wish that one day I can have the pleasure of shaking the world's most sexiest voiced man's hand. I'll never stop dreaming..." Reviewed by wsfarms from San Francisco, California, U.S.A.
"I went and saw Type O this Tuesday at the Roseland Theatre in Portland, OR. They jammed, this was my second concert with Type O, and I loved every second they were on. The only thing that sucked was we had to wait almost an hour between the opening band and Type O. The first time I saw them was in Mineapolis, they were touring with the Ozz Fest Black Sabbath Reunion. I was on the gate the entire set, I think I cracked a few ribs. After they were off stage the security guard tried to pull me off the gate and ended up flat on his *ss. I will probably go see them every time they are near, I just hope not so many d*mn kids don't show up. PS to all of you tall m#ther f$ck&rs out there, stand in back, short people want to see the show, not the back of your head!" Reviewed by Curious George from Portland, Oregan, U.S.A.
"Here's a review from the concert Type O played in Denver on Oct. 8, 1999 (last Friday) First off, this was the best concert i've ever been to. By far. Except when i almost got hit in the head by a full trash can thrown off the second level. But anyways, it was great. TON played some really cool covers of Black Sabbath's "N.I.B", and The Beatles "Living In The U.S.S.R". They also played their best songs, including: "My Girlfriends Girlfriend", "Wolf Moon", "Christian Woman", "Black No.1", "Love You To Death", "Kill All The White People" and many more. They also played some of the best off their new CD, World Coming Down, including: "World Coming Down", "Everything Dies", "Everyone I Love Is Dead", and "Pyretta Blaze". It was amazing. At the beggining of the show Peter came out and said, "Someone we saw earlier said we sounded like shit, so this is for whoever the fuck that was", and he threw a toilet plunger into the crowd, which i found amusing. And also when one fan managed to get past security and onto the stage, Pete stopped playing long enough to shake his hand before he was escourted off the stage. Overall it was a blast, and i would pay the $15 i did to see them again, probably more." Reviewed by Daniel Bock from Denver, Colorado, U.S.A.
"I just saw TON at club life in new york the place sucked so bad it ruined the show for me and my wife. Too small one drink 7.00$ sound was horrible pete could not be heard. ton is so beyond playing clubs this shitty well one club i will ever go to again even if buffy Pam lee heather loclier were there waiting for me to come and give them Sex. Thats how bad it was" Reviewed by Joseph from ???
"Hi... I'm from Germany (Yes, we also do know TYPE O NEGATIVE) I think they are they greatest band on earth. I've seen them at DYNAMO FESTIVAL on March 17th, 1997 at Eindhoven Airport, Netherlands and on July 7th, 1997 at LiveMusicHall in Cologne, Germany. Both concerts were absolutley awesome. But back to DYNAMO... Great day was the 17th..sunshine all the day and great bands did play. Definetly the best act at last...TYPE O NEGATIVE...I think 80.000 people had arrived when TON started their show. At the beginning the sound wasn't very good but within 3 or 4 songs it went better. When they played the cover song LIGHT MY FIRE the whole audience was singing with Peter. Another surprise was the special guest appearing at KILL ALL THE WHITE MEN.. The lead singer of STUCK MOJO (or was it MUCKY PUB..don't know) gave his best to this song (not my favourite)...My favourite is CINNAMON GIRL, which is also TON's latest single. Did you know that the video was taken at DYNAMO FESTIVAL?!?!? Perhaps you see me. :-)))) Then at summer-break i heard that Type O Negative will have a concert at LiveMusicHall in Cologne, Germany. So i took my car and drove to Cologne. I was one hour to early so i had to wait at the entrance. But then the band came outside and gave all the fans who were as early as me autographs. (the size of Peter is very impresive!!!) Then at 8pm the show started. I think they are better in smaller clubs. Very cool was the spuma at the song i don't remember...That's all folks...I hope my german-english is not so bad for understanding. So if anybody would like to send me E-Mail here's my address" Reviewed by Luke Skywalker from Germany
"good evening. my name is mike and my wife's name is kim. we are 22 & 21. we have been fortunate enough to see t.o.n. twice. both were at the same place, called the thunderdome (inside a bar called the brewery). first on there tour with, life of agony & manhole (now tura satana). second time they came down from ozzfest in indiana. it was supposed to be t.o.n., fear factory, drain s.t.h., and powerman 5000, but drain & powers equiptment bus broke down so it was just type-o and fear factory. we have met all but one (not counting sol) kenny. he waved then went in for a sound check. well what i'm getting at if anyone out there remembers or better yet attended these shows please e-mail. well gonna continue reading omega's t.o.n. web pg." Reviewed by Mike and Kim from ???

"I have some info on one of your comments, Dave and Kim saw TON in Louisville, KY. I to live in Louisville and have listened to TON for about six years. I have seen them four times, and I try to go to every show they do here in Lou. I think they are a kick ass band." Comments by Owen from Louisville, KY, U.S.A.
"My friend got me hooked on TON in sept. 96 and I haven't been able or willing to stop listening. We have been to 2 of their concerts. June 6th in toronto was fantastic. We got to meet everyone except for Pete. I had my chest signed by John and Josh. These guys are great and are super friendly. My friend and I talked with John for over an hour and 1/2. The other concert was in Kitchner on October 26th. It was also very good but the sound quality at The Lyric isn't very good. One of the opening bands was Coal Chamber. They were awful. We happened to be in the pit when they started to play and things got quite violent. I was so glad when they shut up and I saw the ever so sexy Mr. Steele take the stage. Whenever I see him, he takes my breath away." Reviewed by Charley from Barrie, Ontario, Canada
"I really don't understand these people saying they love this band so much, when they only heard about them in the past year or two off some stupid album, designed only to make money. Type O, is on of my favorite bands, but they put out an album that was very different from the raw, hard music I expected to hear. I remember every show I went from the first in 1993 to the last Oct 31, 1995, as well as the first time I heard any of their albums. When I met Peter in 1995, on tour with Queens Wrike, he came across as a cool guy, one of the nicest artist I have met. These reports of the "October Rust" tour have tarnish my opinion of Peter. Handing out roses?!? What the hell is that. You have lost your hard core edge, and traded it in for the adoration of easily impressed teen age children. Yes, you can say they have matured as artist, but I think they have already accomplished there best effort, with "Bloody Kisses". And you may ask why I have stopped going to Type O shows, the reason being is I don't like seeing them in large arena's. The sound sucks at arena's, they play for 45 minutes(4 songs), there are so many damn little children going into the mosh pit (if your under eighteen go play some where else kids, leave moshing to the adults) and its not a personal thing when a band is 200 feet away from you. As well as the price of tickets is ridiculous. I think Peter put it best at the begining of "Origin of the feces", "hey you paid $15, 15 american dollars to get in and we get paid to play this sh#&, now who is the real a%#hole!" He could now say he charge $30 or $40. Also at shows, no one chants "You suck, You suck", this is a Type O Staple at a show! The band has new fans, if you can call them that, and they can have them. They paid for them!" Reviewed by Gerard from ???
"ive got an interesting story from a type o show: i was 16 years old and this was going to be my first concert. i went to see type o negative, one of my all time favorite bands. i sat trough 7 or 8 bands that were ok, just to see type o. the deftones took the stage before type o and the crowd began to get a little out of hand...the next thing i knew, the auditorium seats were empty and the entire fucking crowd was up on the stage. the managment had pulled the plug on the deftones and type o negative would not be playing. the riot that followed caused tens of thousands of dollars to the auditorium and that was kinda fun. but i will never get over the fact that i could have see one of the worlds greatest bands for my first show and i missed it cuz of the fucking deftones!" Reviewed by Stinky from ???
"march 25, 1997 shreveport, la, the day before my birthday, i turned 21 at midnight with peter singing black no.1 under purple stage lights. i was standing in the pit looking directly into peter's eyes. definitely one of my most perfect moments in history. before the show, they had an autograph signing party. i got my cig pack, my limited edition bloody kisses cd cover, and 2 random pieces of paper i found in my pocket signed by the whole band. i also pulled down my leather top and got peter to sign my left breast. i got some dirty looks from the girls traveling with them for that one! hahahahaha! if the girls in texarkana who took the picture of peter signing me would get in touch with me, i'd greatly appreciate it." Reviewed by Carrie from Louisiana, U.S.A.
"I saw Type O on Feb 7th, 1997 in a small ballroom in central Minnesota. The show was a lot better than when they played in Minneapolis the previous November. The crowd was fairly small, but very into it. Drain and Sister Machine Gun opened. Drain kicked ass. They're really friendly and were excited to be on tour with Type O. Sister Machine Gun blew. I don't know why they were even on tour with TON. Chris Randall, the main guy of SMG told me before the show he doesn't like TON's music. He also said Black Sabbath was terrible. That's f*ck*d up. At least I didn't have to put up with Manhole again, not one of the more friendly bands I've ever met. Before the show, I had an interview with Peter, which went really well. It was the best interview I've ever done. I talked to him for about 30-40 minutes. (I might be able to get you the interview for your page. I also have interview with Josh.) After the interview, I got to stick around for soundcheck. After Pete messed around with his bass for a bit, the whole band went through Gravity, Bacchus, and the best version of Love You to Death I've ever heard. TON put on one of the better live shows that night I've seen. They sounded a lot better than in Minneapolis, and Peter was more personable. The set list was the same as the other October Rust tour shows. I asked PEter before the show if he's play Unsuccessfully Coping and he groaned and told me he couldn't believe he had written that. But, he said, maybe next tour. He said the rest of the band likes to play it live, but he doesn't. They played for about 70 minutes, finished with Black #1. Peter as usual tore the strings off his bass. I was in the front and tried to get a string. Wasn't successful, but I did get a pick. IT's pretty cool, has the logo on one side and Pete's signature on the other..." Reviewed by Matt Maurer from Collegeville, Minnesota, U.S.A.
"I saw TON on april 28, 1996 at Ozzy. They were very impressive in concert and I look forward that they will come to Tulsa on their October Rust tour. I feel that I am the only huge TON fan in this region of the country. But just like Peter I'm different...Shawna (my lovely girlfriend) would like to say, if Peter of TON reads this, PLEASE COME TO TULSA and SEE YOU THEN."... Reviewed by Dustin and Shawna from Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
"The first half of the concert in Toronto (September 22, 1996) suffered a little from poor sound. You could barely makeout Peter's lyrics. The second half of the concert the sound quality improved immensely, thus making the concert very enjoyable overall. The snow machine effect they used was a novel idea. It was extremely effective and of the calibre of a big stadium concert. Peter apologized for not giving his 100% as he had a cold, but the apology was not necessary as their performance was great and very well appreciated by the crowd. I do wish they would have played for more than just one hour." Reviewed by Omega from Toronto, Canada
"hi, i just wanted to say that i am not a big fan of type o negative, but i was looking around on the internet and found your web page. well, i wanted to say that i was also at the type o negative show on halloween just because my friend had free tickets and back stage passes. it was alright...but, i saw the opening band called "manhole" and didn't care for them at all. however, i heard they are from L.A. and wanted to know more about them. i went to philadelphia for the heck of it and saw them all again at electric city..." Reviewed by Arielle from ???, U.S.A.
"The show (November 2, 1996) was good enough to save my standing as a fan. After leaving the 9/11 show in RI, due to the violence (30 arrests), this one was going to make or break me. Just when you thought that they couldn't POSSIBLY squeeze anymore foliage on stage, a stage hand dragged 5 or 6 more shrubs on stage. The band opened with what I believe was Glass Walls; sound was a touch furry at first. 3 songs, and a few hits off his bottle, and Peter wouldn't shut up! He chatted up the audience with such 'schmoozability', I nearly fell off the balcony! Nearly every song was dedicated 'to the ladies', and he was talk-talk-talking between every 2nd song or so. Couldn't hear Josh for the majority of the show, sad to say, but when I did hear him, he was fab. Johnny's drumming really does need to be heard live to truly appreciate it. He was dead on solid. They barely touched on anything from October Rust, but played nearly every track from Bloody Kisses. My Girlfriend's Girlfriend, Cinnamon Girl, Love You To Death and that was about it for new stuff. I had my heart set on Haunted or Wolfmoon, but no go... Here's the fun part, the part that made me wish I'd snuck a vidcam in under my coat: during the lead in for Black No.1, Pete brought out a bucket of roses, and began flinging them 'to the ladies', warning them to 'watch out for the thorns', explaining that although the song was a Halloween song, 'with faces like ours, every day is Halloween'. When he ran out of roses, he weighed the bucket in his hand, then threw that too, 'for an audience that really loves pot'. The rest of the show was great; the snow was fun in the Avalon's laser show, and Kenny and Peter did this 'playing with my teeth thing' during an in-between-songs jam. Pete closed by telling the audience: 'If you're drinking and driving, hit someone you hate!' and that was just fine." Reviewed by Ginger McQuiggan from Boston, U.S.A.
"A review of the Saratoga Winners show (November 9, 1996) - Well, the music was wonderful, of course. They did a lot of old stuff and had a really cool snow effect, however, I was disappointed because the acoustics really weren't that great because Winners is so small. If anyone else went, tell me what you thought..." Reviewed by Kristine Martino from Loudonville, New York, U.S.A.
"...Well I went to the one on halloween in D.C. It rocked. A band called manhole opened for them. They were actually really good. Type O came on about 10:00. They did alot of smoke stuff and kept the audience fairly dark. Every now and then the lights would flash on. There was purple and other dark lights reflecting all over the place. It looked really cool. They sang stuff from the new album mostly. My friends finaly convinced me to go down in the mash pit with them, it was great. I only have a few bruses. :) On the last song my friends John, Rob and some guy named warlock lifted me up so I could surf the crowed. I was keeping myself as straight as possible and when the bodygaurd lifted me out of the crowed my torso and outstreached arms were over the stage and 3 feet from Peter's knee. He stoped playing, walked over to me and touched my hand. Then the bouncer put me on the ground. I shouted thank-you to Peter and went back to join my friends. (If anybody cares I was the 6'2 girl in the white dress). I'm still floating from the experience. It's the best concert I've ever been to..." Reviewed by Marianne McCabe from Washington D.C., U.S.A.
"Hello my name is Joe have been only listening to Type O for about a year now. My 15 year old daughter got me and my brother in law listening. Can't seem to listen to anything else now. They are great...I have been to see them twice. Once in a bar in CT. The other time in NY. Nassau Col. Both shows where excellent. Pete and the band were great.

"Type O Negative does it again they put on a great show! They came on just before 11:00 and left the stage at 12:00. They had two supporting acts. Drain and all female band from Sweden put on a good 1/2hr set. Good heavy act. Sister Machine Gun came on second. I did not care for them. Could not really hear the vocals and they did not seem to know where to take their songs. Type O came on to Glass Walls Of Limbo and went into Prelude To Agony. Muscially Type O sound great. Kenny did not seem into the show. Pete thanked the crowd for the great reception. He also talked in between each song. Before Christian Women he said if you believe in yourself there is no need for god. Explained the meaning of Wolf Moon. He also asked that when he throws his bottle of wine into the crowd not to stap someone with it because he already has enough law suits. Then he left. Song list: Glass Walls Of Limbo; Prelude To Agony; Love You To Death; Cinnamon Girl; Praise Of Bacchus; Christian Women; Kill All The White People; Light My Fire; My Girlfriends Girlfriend; Too Late Frozen; Wolf Moon; Black No. 1 (little miss scare all new tee shirt) (also vineland lberation tour tee shirt). Song list might not be in exact order but these are the song that Type O did. Hope you have a good time when you go see them.
P.S. Wish Type O Negative would do a solo tour so they could play longer. Show flys by to fast. None more negative!!!! Stay negative!!!!" ...Reviewed by Joe Jasinski from Wallingford, Connecticut, U.S.A.
"I promised you a review of the show at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park (January 24, 1997). Well-I have seen Type O so many times that I can say-it was not their best show. My husband and I were both a little disappointed. They did play Doors "Light My Fire" which was cool, and the snow machine effect during "Too Late Frozen" was enjoyable. All the songs were played faster than normal with no b*llsh*tt*ng around or riffing. It was as though they wanted to get off the stage. Drain from Sweden opened. They were phenomenal-I haven't been so initially blown away or impressed by a band that I've never heard prior to a show. Sister Machine Gun was second and they stunk. They were completely unenjoyable and excruciating to listen to. I think that it just so happened that the guys from Type O were worn out or tired-everyone is allowed to have a bad day-you know, we are all only human...
P.S. About 2 weeks ago, Howard Stern played a 20 second snippet of their new song with Ozzy that's going to be on his soundtrack-sounds HEAVY." ...Review by Cheryl Wankmueller from ???, U.S.A.
"My 14 year old teenage daughter, Jessica got me hooked on TON. Her girlfriend introduced her to the music. I don't have the opportunity to go to many concerts anymore but said I'd love to see TON in concert. My wonderful husband, who is very tolerant of my TON obsession happened to find an ad in our newspaper about the Nassau Coliseum concert. I squished 4 other teenagers in my car and took the trip. Great concert, however, the band seemed so far away because I wouldn't let the kids into the mosh pit. Too responsible for them-didn't want anyone to get hurt!! Then on Jan. 24, my husband and I went to Asbury Park to see them at the Stone Pony. Much smaller place. Packed (!), but felt closer to the band. Again, I thoroughly loved the show. Been reading and looking for all I can on the band. The Internet has been the best source!!!! Have my own copy of the 8/95 Playgirl - a magazine I'm not interested in before or after that issue. Have all the CD's and can't wait for more! Favorites-Bloody Kisses and October Rust - no complaints at all on either of them or any of the songs - love them all! Damn - want to meet the band - but that's a long shot. Plan to see them in Poughkeepsie in 4/14 - can't wait. Am I too old for this kind of band adoration? Guess not....." ...Review by Barb from Northwest NJ, U.S.A.
"...Another great Type O show! The Club El N Gee (12 March, 1997) is small and we were packed in there but that was fine. Drain took the stage about 9:00 with a powerful enthusiastic set. These girls are not only beautiful but also very talented. Enjoyed their set and Flavia Canel the guitarist surffed the crowed during the set. Stuck Mojo was the second act they where not my type of band but they played the audience well. Type O Negative came on at about 11:00. The band seemed to be in a good mood Pete was very talkitive. Josh was spitting on Johnny and Kenny. Who where spitting back Kenny got Josh in the face near the end of the set at that point Pete asked what the f*ck are you doing. It was good to see these guys having a good time and fooling around. The show started with Glass Walls Of Limbo: {it is time to change the opening} would like too see them start the show with a different intro my opinion. They played for about 90 min. of great music from begining to end. The song list is as follows: {not in order} Glass Walls Of Limbo, Pain, Love You To Death, {then Pete said we will play a death in the family} then played unsuccessfully coping!!! {I know your f*ck*ng someone else}, {I was glad have been waiting to hear this song live it was worth the wait} Cinnamon Girl, Too Late Frozen {with snow}, In Praise Of Bacchus, Wolf Moon, Kill All The White People, Light My Fire, My Girlfriends Girlfriend, Christian Women, and finished with Black Nu. One. Pete told the crowd as he was leaving that if it wasn't for people like you I would give up this rock and roll sh*t. Enjoyed another show and am looking forward to the Ozzy fest. To Barb from N.J. I am almost 37 and I don't think your ever to old. Type O Negative reach down into your heart and soul and rip them out and make you examine them. There are no other bands I have heard who are willing to cover issues in there songs like Type O Negative doing it in the negative way. Whether it is a cover or an oringinal Type O Negative song the emotion delivered in the music and lyrics moves the listener to think and feel. "Dying god man full of pain" "built myself a cage with walls of anger and a lock of rage" Stay negative!!!!! None more negative!!!!! Too Late Frozen." ...Review by Joe Jasinski from Wallingford, Connecticut, U.S.A.
"...I saw them last year at donnington and I am looking forward to mosshin down again soon...they deserve a better set than they got, lot of people missed them cos korn (sh*t) got the headline on the kerrang stage set the last minute." Reviewed by ??? from the United Kingdom
"...I drove 90 miles on April 14, 1997 to see Type O Negative in Poughkeepsie NY. It was a great show. I was able to meet some of the women from the band Drain S.T.H. If you get a chance to see them they put a good show on. Type O Negative, Stuck Mojo, and Drain S.T.H. played the show. Was the last show on that leg of the tour. Band was soild Pete did not feel good he was coughing and apologized for his voice. Pete had the singer from Stuck Mojo (he is black) come out and sing "Kill All The White People" with them. Josh and Kenny seemed to try and get Pete into the show but he just did not feel good. Josh and Kenny where going crazy, Kenny smashed his gutiar and threw it into the audience (what a fight over that) and Josh tipped his keyboards over at the end of the show. John's druming as usual was right on. I was able to get one of Pete's bass stings after black No. 1. Type O Negative played for about 90 min. again basically same song list except they played Gravity instead of I Know Your F*ck*ng Someone Else. Type O Negative on a bad night are still better than most other bands at thier best. Looking forward to the next show!!! Ozzy Fest! Mansfield MA. Greatwoods 6/14/97 already have my tickets..." ...Reviewed by Joe Jasinski from Wallingford, Connecticut, U.S.A.
"Well Ozz fest was great!!!!!! All the bands sets where to short though I think Type O did only five or six songs. They had Phil from Pantera Come out and sing Kill All The White People. He did a good job. Ozzy was great did all his hits. Then took a 20 MIn. break and came back with Black Sabbath. Again a great set." Reviewed by Joe Jasinski from Wallingford, Connecticut, U.S.A.

OCTOBER RUST CD REVIEWS: "I found the way they start the October Rust CD to be quiet novel and I liked it. I will not get into what they did in case you have not heard the CD yet yourself. I did not care for the way they began the 4th track 'Be My Druidess' as it makes you think there is something wrong with the CD player and therefore you lose your gothic frame of mine for a few seconds into the song thinking about it. My favourite tracks are #13 'Wolf Moon' and #14 'Haunted' as they convey the spirit and gothicism of Type O Negative that I have come to expect and love. My next favourite tracks are #11 Cinnamon Girl and #7 'My Girlfriend's Girlfriend' as both these songs remained in my head after they finished and I find myself repeating the lyrics. The other tracks are O.K. and I can honestly say there are no songs on this CD that I dislike. Is it better than 'Bloody Kisses'? I would have to say no. But, if you liked 'Bloody Kisses', I believe you will like this CD... Reviewed by Omega from Toronto, Canada "Type O Negative have done it again! October Rust is a wonderful compilation of dark gothic slices of life and death exemplified through the unique voices and sounds of one of the most exciting groups of today"...

I've been searching for their albums for the last 2 years and was fortunate enough to get a copy of "bloody kisses" from a friend overseas today (finnaly broke through imagration). And I have to say... IT ROCKS!! I don't know why it's banned, or if I'll ever be able to see another cover with "Type O Negative" on it. But it was worth it..." Reviewed by ??? from Malaysia

"This is to anyone who is a fan of Type O Negative. If you are, you should be aware that the group is getting screwed over by their record label, Roadrunner Records. I just saw them perform at the Palace in Hollywood last night, and its a shame that such a talented group is still forced to play in little mickey mouse clubs 10+ years into their career. Sucks, doesn't it? If you think so, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Request tracks off of their new album, World Coming Down, at your local radio station. Email your favorite rock/guitar mags requesting coverage of their new album and a retrospective of their career, which over the last decade has been out and out ignored by mainstream publications. Has your favorite magazine or radio station even so much as mentioned the fact that they have a new album out or that they're on tour? Didn't think so. If you like this band, and want to continue seeing them live and listening to their records, take five minutes out of your day and pester that annoying M.F. disc jockey at your local rock station to play "Everything Dies" or "Pyretta Blaze". If you're reading this, you're obviously online and can email Guitar World, Rolling Stone, Bass Player-whatever rag you read. Take a minute before you go looking up blonde porno or whatever and bother the hell out of these people. Are you tired of hearing Smash Mouth on the radio instead of something you're into? Open your mouth and be heard. You know why Britney Spears and Rickey Martin are all over radio and MTV? Because their record label pushes the crap out of their records and their fans are constantly requesting them. Well, Type O's record company obviously isn't even trying to help promote them in any way, shape or form, so its up to us, the fans, if we want to hear what WE want to hear on the radio and read about OUR favorite bands and artists when we pick up a magazine. This goes for all of the bands we don't think get enough coverage, not just Type O Negative. While you're at it, email Peter, Kenny, Josh, & Johnny and tell them what you think at CasketCrew@aol.com. If you want to keep bands like this alive, remember, its up to you, and no one else. Later, Longtime Fan." ...comments by Dan from Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

"Type O Negative rules! I live in South Dakota, the wasteland of all music. I discovered Type O when I caught their video for Christian Woman on Head Bangers Ball. I thought it their music was a bit slow for my tastes, seeing as though I was a thrash fan at that time. But my tastes have expanded since then and I now realize what an excellent sonic experience Type O puts on their discs. October Rust is in my opinion the zenith of their sound. It's as if some cosmic force took Venom, Black Sabbath, and The Beatles and put them in a blender. The result is the wonderfully depressing, yet so beautifully melodic music of Type O. When Pete sings "Am I good enough, for you?" I can feel the emotion. Very few bands have that effect on me. Like Tom Waits, Miles Davis, or Pink Floyd, Type O is able to make their listeners feel their music. Well, that's all for now, but if Type O ever plays near South Dakota please let me know. I haven't been to a good moshing since the Melvins and NIN played Souix Falls four or so years ago..." ...comments by Bryan from South Dakota, U.S.A.

Let's see...what can I tell you about the character... His name is Wulfgang. (yes, he's a very cliche vampire, but he likes it that way) He has a very interesting background that I will have to send to you. I have a partner that writes with me and he wrote most of his life story, I just continue it. I created him however, after seeing Mr. Steele on television. I had seen their first video on MTV and remembered him from that. I have to admit I thought they were kind of silly, but he certainly makes an attractive character for my novel. I have an extremely detailed character that has had many stories written for her. Her name is Gypsy Black. Right now she is in a relationship with Wulfgang..." ...I would like to thank Raven from ??? for a glimpse into her novel.

Peter on that not everyone gets what the band is about: "I think that we're such a bizarre band that a lot of people don't know what to make of us and I think that may be a hindrance, that we're not so easily categorized and sometimes we say things, truthful things, that a lot of people don't want to hear because we have big mouths, because that's the way we were raised, and sometimes honesty is not the best policy."
