Ever since they came on the scene in 1989, Type O Negative has been considered by many fans to be the one of the best metal bands. They would go on to release many well-known songs such as "Christian Woman", "Black No. 1" and "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend", score some gold/platinum records and earned the name "The Drab Four" as the result of their lyrical emphasis on themes of romance, depression, and death. Type O Negative remained together until their singer/bassist Peter Steele died in 2010.

We, the fans, would like to see its surviving members Kenny Hickey, Josh Silver and Johnny Kelly (or Sal Abruscato) get together once again for a Type O Negative reunion with a new singer/bassist in memory of Peter. Yes, I understand the band won't be the same without Peter, and that no one can replace him, but the idea of the surviving members resurrecting Type O Negative in his memory would give younger fans the opportunity to experience what the band was all about, including the devotion to their live performances and its history-making lifestyle and culture. Many bands have reunited or continued with a replacement in honor/memory of their deceased member(s) (including AC/DC, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Savatage, Slayer, Exodus and many others) and I can see Type O Negative follow that pattern.

Thank you for showing your support! We love you to death, and Peter will be proud of his bandmates doing this in his memory.

I started this because I missed the music and I truly never thought so many others would feel the same way. It is humbling to see how much Peter Steele still means to all of you after all these years. This whole thing belongs to the fanbase now and I am just doing my best to keep up with the conversation.

Seeing the momentum behind this idea leaves me honestly stunned. This movement belongs entirely to the fans who keep the memory of the music alive.

I'm not sure if Johnny Kelly, Kenny Hickey, Josh Silver and Sal Abruscato would ever see this, but here it goes- I know what it is to feel loss, as many here have, when it comes to family and friends dying. Peter CANNOT be replaced, period....I get that. But this should be more than you three coming together to tour for the memory of Peter 'for' the fans, but to come together for the memory of what you three shared as band members 'with' Peter AND with each other. If not a tour, at least one more album, as a tribute and as a final goodbye, as it would be that last album Peter never had a chance to finish. Thank you for your consideration for this fan request.

He is irreplaceable. But i recently went to Death DTA (RIP Chuck) and found it really strong to keep the memory alive. And, yes, I would just like to hear the music on stage. But the band should do as they judge best.
