![]() ![]() The slow, acoustic portion in the middle of the song is actually fairly pretty, and a nice change from the usual grinding guitars… especially seeing as the song is nearly nine minutes long. With a refrain of “Jesus Christ looks like me,” how can you go wrong? Okay, so perhaps it’s a little bit vulgar, but that is part of the fun of Type O Negative. But even in all of its typicality, this song still sticks out in my memory in a positive way, and thus makes the top ten list. This song features plenty of instrumental sections, extending the song out to more than eight minutes, but that, too, is typical of Type O Negative’s music. The only new track on the greatest hits CD, “Least Worst Of” (2000), “Stay Out of My Dreams” begins with Peter Steele’s traditional deep vocals, and continues on with the bands signature loud guitar sound. It does, however, clock in at a surprisingly short six and a half minutes. Though the song begins slowly, when the guitars kick in, it is clear that this is, musically, a typical Type O Negative song. Peter Steele’s lyrics criticize the medical profession heavily, while acknowledging, in the end, that life is what is killing him. Type O Negative has a great many songs about death and dying, but the title of this song probably is the most appropriate interpretation of the subject. Nonetheless, it is a fairly amusing song, in a wry sort of way. “Life is Killing Me,” the title track from Type O Negative’s most recent album (2003), barely squeezes onto this list. Though the band is known for some of their cover songs, which include “Day Tripper,” “Cinnamon Girl,” and “Summer Breeze,” I think that their ten best songs can all be found among their original pieces. The song’s video is shot in a shipyard, similar to where his father worked as a shipyard supervisor.Type O Negative, a goth metal band, formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 1990. According to Peter Steele, the track is quite personal, and he always has a hard time performing it since he has to disassociate himself. And what a great song “Everything Dies” is. Everything DiesĮven after his death more than ten years ago, Peter Steele would be glad knowing that although he died and the band disbanded, their music still lives. Here are the top 10 Type O Negative songs. We have come up with a list of the band’s top 10 tracks, which is guaranteed to send blood rushing through your ears. Until Peter Steele’s death in 2010, which signified the death of the band, they had released seven albums and done several tours across the globe. Although the album was not quite as successful as Bloody Kisses, it was certified gold and made its debut on the Billboard Top 200 at position 42, making it their first album to achieve that feat. ![]() Another album dubbed October Rust, which explored the themes of sexuality and nature, followed. The album also became the first for their record label (Roadrunner Records) to be certified platinum by the RIAA. ![]() Nevertheless, the album was unique, and the way the music flowed with little hidden messages proved that the guys were geniuses. Some songs like “Christian Woman,” ran for over seven minutes, although the track was later edited. Although the songs were incredibly catchy, they were somehow multifaceted and a bit elliptical. The album featured tracks that had a blend of Black Sabbath with a sprinkle of Beatles-inspired pop. Although most of their fans expected more abrasive punk songs from the album dubbed Bloody Kisses, they got something totally different. However, their breakthrough album would come two years later, in 1993. The band’s first album, Slow, Deep, and Hard, which was released in 1991, was a continuation of where their former band had left off. In addition, Peter Steele’s love and adoration for women make them sound like they worship a goddess of female sexuality. The band also changed their style of music from a ragtag hardcore act to a blend of goth metal, psychedelia, and gothic rock. The band added Kenny Hickey and Sal Abruscato to create Repulsion, which later changed its name to Type O Negative. After the break up of Carnivore, a New York-based crossover band, Peter Steele and Josh Silver joined up to form, Fallout, a short-lived band. There are bands that produce lustful music, bands whose music is overly sensual, and then there is Type O Negative.
