Absolutely not.
There are a lot of people who think I'm into
magic and Satanism and all this paranormal stuff
but I don't believe in anything.
I believe I'm 240 lbs. of chemicals and that's it."
-- PETER STEELE, Type O Negative




"This motorcycle jacket I've had
for the last 15 years.
I got it by making a deal with my
parents to paint the back porch.
I've been wearing it ever since.
I've gotten stabbed in it.
I've had great times, bad times.
That jacket is as much my skin as my own"
PETER STEELE, Type O Negative



Does Type O Negative have anything to do with Gothic music, or is it in a class by itself?
Do you mean, an ASS by itself? Do I think we’re Goth? Honestly, the classification was bestowed upon us by the mediacs because we’re all kind of tall and thin due to lack of protein and too much cocaine. If you’re the lead singer, meaning ME (holds out hands in mock holiness)... if you’re six foot, fuckin’ nineteen inches tall, got fangs and long black hair, and your band is called Type O Negative, and you have songs like Blood and Fire, yeah - I guess it’s Goth ‘n Roll.

How do you feel about women?
On Type O’s first album, Slow, Deep, and Hard, o had used words - and please forgive me - as slut, cunt, whore... which was not directed to the entire female populus. It was just directed towards one person. I’m pretty angry that there are some people who say that I hate women. I find that extremely offensive. Number one, there is no better person in this world than my mother. I would never disresepct her. And you know what? If you want to cal me a mamma’s boy, well I’m YOUR mamma’s boy too.

In your lyrics you talk about being hurt by women. Is that true, or are you using that as a way to get more women?
Well it is true, but people have called me “masagonist”, “woman-hater”. No, I don’t hate women. I think that women are actually much better than men. I hate all people equally. I mean, shit comes in all colors. Black, brown, yellow, green, purple. We all fuckin; equally. I consider myself a specist. I hate the human species because we are the only ones, in fact, who shit where we eat... and also laughs. And do you know why? Because we know we’re gonna die. That’s why I keep laughing.

Has a guy ever given you a problem because you’re really big - to start with you to prove manliness?
Absolutely. And this is honestly a fight that I have to walk away from because I cannot win. If I kick his fuckin’ head in, then I’m a bully. If he wins, I’m a pussy.

When it comes to women, would you rather date a fan or a girl who has no idea who you are?
I would rather date someone who has no idea who I am because, at that point, we have something in common because I have no fuckin’ idea who I am. If it’s somebody I meet at a show, it’s only because of the lighting that I look really good on stage. I’m 461 years old. My face is falling off. My colostomy bag is leaking. I fell outside. I broke my hip. I have an ingrown toe nail. My cable company shut the service off. And nobody can help me.

What kind of condoms do you prefer?
Well, I’m a virgin, so I have no idea what I would use. I would think like a ziplock bag of some sort because I’m getting old and they have this, like, buffet at restaurants. Older people call them buff-its. I love that. They always bring ziplock bags. Why? because when they thin nobody’s looking, all the shrimp that’s been laying there for three years - they’re not even fuckin’ shrimp, they’re mutated pubic lice - and they’re fuckin’ bringing them home. I don’t want to be part of this crowd!

What are your sexual turn-ons?
Women who are femine. I like long hair, make-up, high heels, no testicles because that turns me off right away... I think women who smoke are attractive, actually. There’s something Freudian about that, but than may be a phallusy.
