Well, what can I say? He is the man...behind all the passionate music. There is no equal in terms of someone's writing ability...It should not be messed with. He recently stated about World Coming Down that the rest of the band put in a lot of their own ideas into this album...He said that was the last time...I agree with him, perhaps because there was a lot of things that I thought would have made the album even better than the rest of them...BUT don't get me wrong...I love WCD!!! But as much as I love a group effort in writing, if one has a good idea, should it be tampered with by others? Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. But this is Peter we are talking about...so you decide.
He is the youngest of 6 siblings, the rest being all female. He was in a few bands prior to Type O Negative, the most recognized being Carnivore, however he was also in a band called Fallout, and before that: Aggression. The story is that Peter is left-handed. But why does he play his bass right-handed? Well, that would be because when he was trying to get into the band 'Aggression", they needed a bass player not a guitarist (because he played rhythm guitar at the time). So he went to trade his guitar in for a bass, but the left-handed bass was too much, so he bought the right-handed one, and rapidly learned how to play a right handed bass. Somehow, he turned out to be the most unique bass player of all time (in my opinion, of course, which is correct).
God? NO. Lord? No. Just a man. But as I stated before, no one matches Peter's ability to write a metal/gothic song with such passion. A true master at work. Despite rumours, he has NEVER fought Glenn Danzig...He is 6'6+", 38 years old as of this writing. You can tell that over the years, he has become less pissed off at the world, and more depressed at life for obvious reasons.
One woman once offered him $40,000 for his sperm, and he turned down the offer. And he also denies the rumour that he signed his RoadRunner contract in blood and sperm...just blood! -E.L. 8/00 |
