Has everyone seen the site? The grave marker for Pete? Well in all Type O's dark humor since he has been sick they have decided to fight the illness with laughter. Apparently bringing alot of fans to their knees asking..OMG is peter dead? Too funny.

Sun, May 22, 2005 - 4:08 PMI don't know.....I think this might be serious. Why would somebody joke about "ETER STEELE" being "FREE AT LAST" after 43 years? -

Re: www.typeonegative.net
Mon, May 23, 2005 - 8:45 PMwhy would they? cuz it's sick and funny. the band, as a whole, has a very twisted sense of humor...mayhaps, pete lost one of his kidneys, which is sort of like becoming Free>>>free of Something, that's for sure.
i can't imagine the Rest of the Internet/Mass Media being oblivious to the "truth". ya know? it just seems weird...MTV/MTV2/FUSE would announce something like that. There'd be an ALL TYPE O ALL NIGHT on Headbanger's Ball, etc...
k, granted...it was YEARS before the free world knew that Pol Pot was dead...so who reallllly knows what's going on. -

Tue, May 24, 2005 - 8:00 PMI guess I should've posted that reply with the sarchasm font on. I'm well aware Peter isn't dead and this is the bands sense of humor (like covering the "P" and only saying "free at last").....another possibility in all of this maybe Peter just lost his "P"? -

Tue, May 24, 2005 - 6:04 AMDespite a message on the band's official web site that seems to suggest otherwise, TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele HAS NOT DIED.
The band, who are famous for their dark sense of humor, have spent much of the last few months preparing material for their SPV Records debut, which is expected to be recorded later in the year.
TYPE O NEGATIVE cancelled their U.S. tour last fall in order to allow Steele to undergo further tests after "undisclosed anomalies" were discovered during a medical exam. A February 11, 2005 update on Peter's condition from TYPE O NEGATIVE drummer Johnny Kelly stated, "There really isn't much to report other than he's doing fine and his health is improving daily."
TYPE O NEGATIVE, whose first album, "Slow, Deep and Hard", was issued in 1991, fulfilled their contractual obligations to longtime label Roadrunner with the release of 2003's "Life Is Killing Me". That album debuted on The Billboard 200 chart at No. 39 in June 2003 after registering a first-week sales tally of 27,023 copies. TYPE O NEGATIVE's best-selling album to date is 1994's "Bloody Kisses", which has shifted nearly a million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
