Type O Negative
Type O Negative was a gothic / doom metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York, US in 1990. They are well known for their dry, morbid and ironic sense of humor and their often slow and brooding music. "The Drab Four" (the nickname Type O Negative gave themselves) always succeeded in keeping their own unique style, mixing melodic, classic rock 'n' roll with slow, doom-like vibes, and down-tuned heavy metal guitar riffs with dark soundscapes.

They are well known for their dry, morbid and ironic sense of humor and their often slow and brooding music. "The Drab Four" (the nickname Type O Negative gave themselves) always succeeded in keeping their own unique style, mixing melodic, classic rock 'n' roll with slow, doom-like vibes, and down-tuned heavy metal guitar riffs with dark soundscapes. They were also known for doom metal riffs, deep bass lines, heavy but usually slow drums and bass-range vocals of gothic metal. Lead singer Peter Steele described their music as "bad songs written on a Tuesday night."

The two main influences on the band are the Beatles and Black Sabbath, and keyboardist Josh Silver has expressed a love of Pink Floyd--evidence of which can be heard in the atmospherics of his production techniques.

The band arose from the ashes of the band Carnivore and gained popularity with their songs "Black No. 1" and "Christian Woman" from the Bloody Kisses album. The album was the first in Roadrunner Records' catalog to go both gold and platinum. They have successfully toured with Pantera, Life of Agony, and dozens of other established and up-and-coming bands, as well as taking part in Ozzfest. The band had VHS and DVD documentary releases in addition to their CD releases and contributions to movie soundtracks and compilations.

Steele died of sepsis caused by diverticulitis (initially reported as heart failure) on April 14 2010 at the age of 48.

I Don't Wanna Be Me
Type O Negative Lyrics


Ever throwing at his home
Two glass houses, twenty stones
Fourteen yellow, six are blue
Could it be worse quite doubtful

Two steps forward, three steps back
Without warning, heart attack
He fell asleep in the snow
Never woke up, died alone

Please don't dress in black
When you're at his wake
Don't go there to mourn
But to celebrate

Ever throwing at his home
Two glass houses, twenty stones
Fourteen yellow, six are blue
Could it be worse quite doubtful

Two steps forward, three steps back
Without warning, heart attack
He fell asleep in the snow
Never woke up, died alone

Please don't dress in black
When you're at his wake
Don't go there to mourn
But to celebrate

I don't want to be me anymore

Idk what's better:

-A kick-ass and insightful song..
-The sexy, talented and immortal Peter..
-That lovable fellow who clearly is not afraid to make an ass outta himself (but dances like M Jackson just a little too well)..
-That Type O as a whole is comfortable with not taking themselves too seriously and has such good humor?
-The dog watching TV with Peter..

Tough call all around..

Legendary Voice of Peter Steele.

I used to see his crazy awesome car an 85’ Grand Prix and was like that is soooooooo Road Warrior.

When I am in Prospect Park , I try to visit his Memorial Tree and Dedicated Bench.

11 years have passed and Peter Steele’s Memory lives on .

Blessed Be Green Man.

This song is strangely comforting. It makes me feel like I'm not the only one wishing I could be someone else so I don't have to deal with everything in my life.
