15 years gone - still unbelievable that, on this April 14th, Pete Steele left this world. His legacy still lives one but it's morbid how time flies - and for everone having the chance to experience Type O Negative live, those impressions will last forever. If you haven't, you probably missed something great but the music of "The Drab Four" will last forever and lead us through many stages in life!

Still remembered, Petrus Thomas Ratajczyk “Peter Steele” (1962-2010) 🖤💚

I was lucky enough to meet Peter after a show. Cool guy, self-deprecating and funny on stage or off. My favourite live moment was Too Late: Frozen - they made it snow on stage.

Lucky one indeed. Saw them 1996 or 1997 in Eindhoven at the Dynamo but never met the guys in person. They never took themselves too serious but delivered unique music with a creepy green light that once changed a lot for me. Wish I‘d could travel back… 😌
