Peter Steele . . . Rest in Slack

By J. DeVoy

Peter Steele, singer/bassist for Type O Negative, is dead from heart failure at age 48.  His musical openness about death, lust, suicide, love and loss, was inimitable.

    I’ve thought your topics were ranging a bit far afield lately, Mr. Devoy, but Pete Steele on a law blawg…but since I am posting from Roadburn where Goatsnake, etc all dedicated songs to the guy I’m not in any position to bitch.

    Thanks for remembering Petrus. There will never be another like him. He was to me what The Beatles and Elvis were to normal people.

    I thought this much worse than Kurt Cobain dying — esp ’cause Kurt chose to die.
