Peter Steele is now sober; into God and shit

Posted on November 3rd, 2009

Peter Steele, frontman of TYPE O NEGATIVE and founder of my favorite thrash band evaaar CARNIVORE was for a while, quite the trainwreck. I remember seeing a Carnivore reunion a few years ago, and noticed he did not look well. Recently though, TYPE-O started touring again and its clear by the interview below that Peter Steele is clean, looks relatively healthy and still has that dry witty sarcasm that he is known for. The interview was pretty fun at first but then slowly it started taking a turn for the worse…

Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Steele has found God. Does this mean hell has really frozen over? Not only has he found God, he thinks you should have God in your life too. OMFG WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU??? He literally says "We are all part of God's plan." To that I ask Pete, was this part of God's plan?. All the God talk starts at about 15 minutes in.

i see nothing different here. its peter as hes always been. dry humor, politics, religion and poop. anyone who is surprised by this must have not listened to Dead Again, quite a bit more about religion in that album than there is in this interview. im not surprised and neither should anyone else that has known about this band and/or peter for the years that i have

It's unreal how hidebound you are for knocking his belief in God, the flying spaghetti monster or whatever. Just because he doesn't revile in his addiction doesn't make him ignorant or stupid. If anything I give him massive props for being to able pull himself out of arguably the depths of addiction. And so what if he's proselytizing, if Jesus help him & turned his life around I don't blame him for making a case.

^He just traded one addiction for another. I'm happy for him because he picked an addiction that is better for his physical health but he should shouldn't be less happy for me because I don't believe in his stupid trite.

He was a couple blocks from Death Street… Ya can't write tunes six feet under… maybe this will give us hope for future Type O releases.

Hopefully he stays healthy!
