Everything Dies

Seems that Pete Steele of Type O Negative has passed away. Truly sad for me being a huge fan. Got to see them open for Pantera several years back. While I have been to countless concerts and seen truly legendary frontmen, none could compare. Steele truly captivated his audience with his dark lyrics, sarcastic humor and deep baritone voice. Being 6' 7" didn't hurt either. Never saw so many female undergarments hitting a stage in all my life. Their music was realy bonecrushing, not for the faint hearted. They also did remakes which became cult classics. "Summer Breeze" and "Cinnamon Girl" have to rank among the best. While their music reflected the suffering of Pete on a personal level he always seemed to have that nasty sense of humor. Truly a sad day for me, he was one of a kind.
