Scranton is an absolute scum hole. Peter was a rockstar worth millions. Why would he live in this shitty area? Scranton and the surrounding area of the Poconos is absolutely infested with New Yorkers. I think he got bad advice. If somebody recommended Northeast Pennsylvania to get away from New York, They were wrong because Northeast PA is infested with New Yorkers. It’s all transplanted in New Yorkers.

I have an interesting story about Peter Steele. My friend and I were walking back to the parking lot after their concert and saw a small group of people crowding around a park bench. We stopped to see what the commotion was. Peter was signing autographs and chatting with fans. When we walked up, he looked at us and asked, "Could you two beauties do me a favor? Can you go to the tour bus, just tell the guy I said to let you on ... there's a tray of cold cuts and a jug of red wine, can you grab those for me, and bring them here?" My friend and I look at each other and agree to this request. We get on the tour bus, and we're like freaking out, saying to each other, "is this really happening?" I see the tray of cold cut subs and grab it and my friend grabs this huge jug of red wine. We go back to the park bench and he says, "beautiful, just beautiful, thank you!" Then asks me to pass the cold cuts around for the rest of the fans. The wine was for him. We all then sat around eating subs, listening to him tell stories as he chugged from the wine jug. Got a picture with him and he signed my T- Shirt I bought earlier. He was a super chill guy that loved his fans! Anyways, just wanted to share my odd, cold cut sandwich story with Peter Steele 🖤

I met him outside a show in Philly in 1994, me and 2 random girls. I knocked on the bus door and asked the big bouncer guy if Pete was around. A minute later he came off the bus and hung with us in the cold for about 20 minutes. Such a nice guy. That was my first if 10 times seeing them live.

Omg that’s amazing!!!! I have a strangely similar but different story with Iron Maiden. Ran in to blayze Bailey coming out of the bathroom at the hotel next to the venue. He recognized me from the front row (I’m a super fan and know every lyric to every song). I got to meet the rest of the band, got back stage passes to their next show and then got to hang out with all of them for a whole night. It was freaking insanely amazing. Awesome to know that Pete was just as amazing of a human!!!!

Dude, I was just reading through his wiki [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter\_Steele](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Steele) and found this >Steele stood 6 ft 8 in (203 cm) tall,[^(\[7\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Steele#cite_note-Starpulse-7) giving him a menacing stage appearance. Despite that perception, Steele admitted to suffering from [stage fright](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_fright), which he overcame by drinking alcohol before shows, and by drinking red wine when on stage Perhaps he needed the red wine because he was nervous but wanted to talk to you guys.

That’s a great story! I saw them at CBGB’s when I was doing an internship in NYC at a metal magazine, went back stage and met him; I was with a group of three women, and they all wanted to take a picture sitting in his lap. When it came to my turn, as a 6’, 250lb guy, I told him “don’t worry, I won’t sit in your lap,” to which he replied “ah it’s cool, just don’t fart” 😂 It was the one picture of the set where he was smiling lol Such a kind, generous and hilarious guy - and his hand felt like a catcher’s mitt on my shoulder. We miss you Pete 🖤💚

I got to see Type O in Wichita, Kansas around 1998 at a bingo hall... It was snowing so bad. We thought they were going to cancel the show. We're out front waiting. Somebody comes out and looks and goes back inside. Yeah there's like 25 people out here in the parking lot. Shortly after they open the doors and it was an awesome show. The stage was about 2' and his head is scraping drop ceiling.

When I met my wife we had so many similarities. Music was probably the number one. After we had been hanging out and dating we got into each other's shit. Past experiences, favorite concerts, kinks, all the shit that leads up to a healthy relationship. She found it very very sexy that I was way into Type-O, I found it cool that she was too. She later confided in me that she had a Pete Steele dildo (which is a real thing) and was nervous. Now I am no Pete Steele. But when she told me that I was like... "Well I can't fucking blame ya." So she decided to marry me and my dick is adequate. RIP dude who plays a cello like a fuckin base. You are missed my man.

My bestie and I bought tickets not realizing where they were playing and when - we lived in Toronto and the show was on a Sunday night (school night). Parents were cool with the mistake and let us take the Greyhound and stay with friends’ aunt overnight to return the next day. Show was awesome, secondary school teachers went on strike for 2 weeks starting that Monday morning, so it all worked out

View on Reddit #73390514

Sweet_Deeznuts@reddit

IKR!? That’s how we wound up buying the tickets - we just assumed it was in Toronto. It was 1997, found out from a concert listing in the back of some random magazine (no internet at home yet) and had to travel downtown to buy the tickets. Now to get downtown it used to cost $1.35, and back then nickels had pictures of beavers on them. Give me 5 beavers for a moose, you’d say! Now where was I…oh right! We had no clue until we had tickets in hand and it listed the venue on the tickets. I’m guessing maybe a booking fell through for some reason and the Waterloo location worked for the tour schedule 🤷‍♀️ wasn’t a bad venue, a bit smaller than the Opera House (if you’re familiar)

Nice; yeah I love the Opera House, Type O in a venue that size sounds like it would’ve been a good show. I didn’t start going to concerts until 1998 and didn’t get really into Type O until the early 2000s, so this one wouldn’t have been on my radar. Never saw them and I regret it now.

They did not take themselves seriously at all, and I loved that so much about them. I remember seeing Type O at some place in Brooklyn - not sure of the venue, would have to pull out my scrapbook of stubs - anyway, right after the show, they loaded some equipment into a big old car, Pete got behind the wheel and used a bullhorn to yell at everyone that was still hanging out haha Was able to catch Silvertomb at St Vitus right before COVID shut the world down, they were pretty great.

Almost didn’t go, but ended up seeing them in 2007 in Worcester, MA. What a show! The guy was like 6’8” and just enormous in real life. They sounded so good live, and then just a few years later he died. Really glad I went and still talk about that night with my friends

I rip through that baby at least a dozen times from the end of Sept and aaaalllll through October. All Hallow's EP by AFI (as well as Art of Drowning and Black Sails), Earth AD/Walk Among Us, anything by Blitzkid, Phantasmagoria by The Damned, the dorky Nekromantix stuff, Koffin Kats... man, I got a nice solid 6-7 weeks of non-stop old school spook tunes. October Rust *always* kicks it off.

I was a recording artist in a past life, and Peter was an industry friend. Incredibly kind human being, and he always understood that fans were keeping a roof over his head. He was an appreciative and engaging guy. Had a huge influence on me as a young guy making his own career, and I took to heart his views on fans and what they mean to the artist.

I would do heinous things to see this band live now.

I rocked out to Life is Killing Me like 77 times this year according to Spotify. RIP Steele 🖤

Saw them open for Pantera in 1995. My boyfriend (now husband) and I were at the very front, only the security pit between us and the stage. Peter was such a massive presence. He had a barstool next to him with a huge bottle of red wine that he’d take long pulls from. At one point he made eye contact with me, bit his lower lip and grabbed his crotch. My boyfriend yelled “Fuck yeah, that’s my girlfriend!” all proud. Such a cool night.

I saw Type O three times back in the day. I had all access at one of the shows and got to hang out with the band for a bit. Peter was the most physically intimidating human I've ever met. According to Google, he was 6'8", but he genuinely seemed MUCH larger than that. I saw him kneel down to take a picture with a dude in a wheelchair, and even on one knee, he dwarfed the guy. I have a picture of us together at that show, which I will not share, cause I look cringe as hell, but anyway... To this day, I will still get on a TON kick every once in a while and spin October Rust on repeat for a few weeks. Flawless album.

I saw his side band cover Beatles tunes all night at a tiny little club on NYE somewhere near Brighton beach back around 98-99 I think.

As a fan of metal, industrial, post punk i never got in to Typo. Their whole sound is a place I don't want to visit. I can totally understand people being into them though. I too like miserable sounding music. But not them. I can admit I bought a ticket for Typo show. But went to see the opener Puya and left after they played. Had loads of acquaintances into them, and they were floored when they found out he was living in our town of Scranton, Pa when he passed. No one had any idea he was living amongst us.
