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.

My Girlfriend's Girlfriend
Type O Negative Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Say, "Ah")
It's no secret we're close
As sweaty velcro
Like latex, fur and feathers
Stuck together, now
Sharing one cigarette
In a black light trance then
Go go dance
Then
Go go trance
Then
They keep me warm on cold nights
We must be quite a sight
In our meat triangle
All tangled, wow
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She looks like you
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She's my girl too
Her and me and her and she and me
An uncrowded couple, are we three
Hey, we don't care what people say
When walking hand in hand down Kings Highway
Two for one today
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She looks like you
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She's my girl too
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She looks like you
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She's my girl
The lyrics of Type O Negative's My Girlfriend's Girlfriend talk about a love triangle between Peter Steele (the lead singer), his girlfriend, and her girlfriend. The opening line, "It's no secret we're close," implies that the three people involved in the love triangle are intimate with one another. This is further emphasized in the metaphorical comparison to "sweaty velcro, like latex, fur, and feathers" which suggests that the three people fit together perfectly. The "62 'Vette" refers to a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette, a classic American sports car, where the three people share a cigarette in a black light trance, then go-go dance.
The chorus of the song is about the singer's girlfriend's girlfriend who looks like the singer's girlfriend and is also his girl. The lyrics, "An uncrowded couple; are we three, hey we don't care what people say" suggests they don't care about the societal norms or the public opinion about their relationship. They mention a "Meat Triangle" which means two women and one man in a relationship that creates an intimate bond between them. The line, "Two for one today" refers to the idea of having two girlfriends for the price of one.
The lyrics might be shocking to some listeners because of their openness towards a non-traditional relationship. Still, it's important to note that Peter Steele once referred to Type O Negative as a non-political band and said that their music was more about creating a mood and evoking emotions than pushing an agenda.

The 60s grooviness + 90s goth combination is 200% my vibe and I will be here for it until I dieeeeee
@elaynaterrell3576
Agreed! It's a total vibe and I love it. Makes me wanna open a 60s goth bar with dancing girls in cages and goth gogo boots🤣
@jikannoyuusha9978

@dantasticmania8728
It's kind of weird but interesting at the same time how the 90s had a lot of similarities to that of the 60s. Both were very interestingly creative periods ,both had were pushing the envelope when it came to sexual flair while keeping a level of class at the same time.
