I think satan's day just got a little better (and I mean that in the nicest way possible)

Quote:
(CBS) CBS News has confirmed that Peter Steele, front man for Type O Negative, has died.

In an email, Mike Renault, the band's manager said, "Peter passed away last night. As of now it appears to have been heart failure. That's all the details we have right now."

Type O Negative's Web site left a message to their fans this morning around 5:15 AM. It read, "The forums have been re-opened. Please play nice and expect statements from the band and family later today. Thank you for your understanding and support."

Upset fans have been writing on Type O Negative's MySpace page mourning the death of the singer. Some posts said, "RIP Peter, you will be missed" and "I just heard the news and I can't even function."

Steele, whose real name is Petrus T. Ratajczyk and hailed from Brooklyn, N.Y., was known as a bassist, singer, and as the band's website said, a "control freak." The 6'7'' composer of gothic metal was also known for his dark humor and low heavy voice.

Before joining Type O Negative, he was in the metal group Fallout and the band Carnivore.

I wonder if he had Marfan's syndrome, his arms look out of proportion to his body.

From everything I ever heard about this guy, he seemed to be a decent fellow. RIP

He may have had Marfan Syndrome, but he doesn't look near as long limbed as Bradford Cox or Joey Ramone.

I have met/hung out with him probably two-three dozen times over the years. I wouldn't say we were friends, but he knew my name and always went out of his way to greet me nicely. Everyone has their demons, including him (no pun intended), but yeah, he was a decent fellow...
