Talk:Peter Steele

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think it is importaint to say that Peter Steele is bipolar, or officially: manic depressed. This is a condition that you are born with. So in the text it is stated that he is chronically depressed. But in an interview peter has stated to be bipolar. And not just depressed. he appeared to have had a psychose also at one time due to this in which he thought he was jesus. Look up manic depression if you want to know what that is. Many artists have this condition and it is uncurable but can be treated with lithium. It might also explain why he gained weight during one time, because in those days they did not have the right medicine, and later he lost the weight again due to invention of a new medicine. Also his former cocaine addiction is in a different light if you understand that it has a different effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.87.139.107 (talk) 22:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Steele Not Dead

According to this page Peter Steel is not dead:

[edit] I don't know

It seems odd that is the only page that has a retraction. Unless it is a weird scam for the new album. At the same time the forums of the official site have been erased, and all other sites Yahoo have him listed as dead. Also the crappyness of the plaque makes it look less like aplanned joke and more like a real thing. Hopfully the mystery will be solved soon.

Removed mention about him holding Paul McCartney as a hero; not relevant or encyclopedic. Also removed the following:

"He has been described as a possible Raven from Snow Crash."

What exactly does that mean? Pacian 10:51, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Genitalia

"He also has an extremely large penis."--this sounds like it written by the man himself, or at least a female admirer. --84.71.189.135 17:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Peter's not dead...at least not yet. He keeps living his life like he does he will be soon. And, If you knew him at all you would know that he would never brag about the size of his penis. On the contrary, he is a very modest man.

Rubbish! he's a braggart if ever there was one. i'm only a casual observer of his music, but i recall many instances of him talking about having a big knob in interviews.. here's a recent link http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=67303 220.233.174.111 07:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)alexwank

[edit] Icelandic-American

Why is this tagged as Icelandic-American? Is there any verification for this or is it just based of his constant usage of the Vinnland logo? Sammayel 00:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed the tag. Although he apparently has Icelandic heritige, it would be better to find a good source before putting it back up. --Teddypommpomm 08:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Former bands

I could swear that I've seen Peter Steele in a band called Repulsion at Zone DK, NYC....October of 1990, I think. Is there any confirmation of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.25.57.235 (talk) 00:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

You did. Repulsion was a name Type O Negative used before settling on Type O. Obviously they could not use the name as there was already a Death Metal band called Repulsion. They also used Sub Zero as a name & even were tattooed with the logo (the O with a negative symbol inside it) before finding out that there was already a hardcore band from NY with the name.[2][3]--Hndsmepete (talk) 23:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
