Peter Steele
I want to offer my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Peter. He was a truly talented vocalist, and a great influence to the rock scene. His voice was something that just grabbed your attention when listening to his music. Type-O Negative’s cd, Bloody Kisses is one of my favorites, I can’t count the number of times that my copies have been lost or stolen, but it’s one of those CD’s that I just have to get again. I really don’t know what else to say about him, other than he was a true icon for his genre of music. I know it’s corny, but he will still live on in his music, and I hope that the music fans never forget him.
