[edit] My Bloody Valentine
OK, I know there's not supposed to be original research, but can someone back me up on the fact that Type O' Negative contains some elements that seem to be influenced by My Bloody Valentine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by KenFehling (talk • contribs) 11:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Objectivity?
Reading through many of the descriptions, parts of this page almost sound more like a fan's review of the band than an encyclopedic entry. I think some of the descriptions used should be cleaned up, as the descriptions shouldn't be either praising nor condemning, just objective.

I agree with that, this article is ridiculous, especially the opening paragraph, it's calling uncharted songs hits and the writer seems confused about the term goth. 58.106.200.164 04:10, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Might be worth adding:
- Various Brooklyn lyric refences to trivia.
- Some of the covers such as Pictures of Matchstick Men with Ozzy Ozbourne?
- Track listings for the albumns?

[edit] Howdy.
It might be worth mentioning who recorded those covers that are incorrectly attributed to Type O Negative. Those wishing to find them (or at least correct what they have listed in their playlists) would find such information helpful. - Riggermantis 01:47, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
For anyone that sees fit to incorporate the names of the groups/bands that recorded the incorrectly attributed covers, I have done a smidgeon of research and found that the song Angel was done by a group called theAstralSleep. This is the only page I could find about them. - Riggermantis 02:50, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Yeah. about that: is it true they made a cover of Monty Python's "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"? I heard a doom version of it once and it sounded al lot like Type O. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.251.58.153 (talk) 00:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I heard TON was on SPV now? but i'm not sure... i don't keep up with them anymore... Naufana 00:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- This is true, you can read about it at SPV's website. Avador 02:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Type O Negative are Gothic Metal. Sources:
They may have been described as "gothic doom", but that doesn't mean it's their genre. Just like gore metal = death metal, gothic doom = gothic metal. --Danteferno 22:33, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Problem with official web site.
If you visit http://www.typeonegative.net/ you get a splash screen that instead of redirecting to the web site home page, directs to the forum. There are no links on the page to direct to any other parts of the web page besides the forum. This can cause problems for unfamilar users who think Type O Negatives web site is just a forum. I didn't find any "home" page to link to. What should we do about this? Should we change the link, add a notice or do nothing? --Arm 01:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Actually it's just a forum, there is no home page.--84.189.1.87 09:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, it is not just a forum. For example, http://www.typeonegative.net/bio_peter.html And if you navigate around that page youll find links to other pages on the official Type O Negative site. --Arm 05:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Me again. Sure, I know - that's what is left over from the original homepage (ah, can't recall how it was before, need to check webarchives). Their Web administrator is rather being lazy these days than hiding bio- and discographies. Ordinary users are not meant to find these pages you dug unless they followed foreign referencing links, which are in fact outdated. Afaik a new homepage is going to appear someday (again). --84.189.60.95 20:04, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Angel
Stop crediting the song "Angel" to some German band called Astral Sleep. The song Angel is from a band called "Tears of Passion", the song is on the album "Experience", released in 1995 by Paradise Rising. I got the album, so if you don't believe me you can get in touch: oskorei at web dot de
[edit] Gothic Doom Metal???
I don't agree with this description of the band - it certainly can't be called objective. Thay are hard to categorise so how about "a rock band"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.7.20.133 (talk) 23:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC).
- "a rock band" I don't think so, this band is defiantly Gothic/Doom Metal, they aren't that hard to categorize. Although I would make an argument for just "Gothic Metal"But "a rock band" would be a little vague, seeing as they aren't a rock act. CatLikeThief 18:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Todd: At this point in your career, do you feel it’s fair that the group is considered by many to be a Gothic or Doom band?
Josh: “I don’t know how Gothic we ever really were, to tell you the truth…besides Peter’s tooth implants, which are what I think made us the most Gothic. I mean…what the hell is Gothic anymore? I’m not even sure. Is it pipe organs or harpsichords? Is it putting on black eyeliner? I’ve always just considered us Rock or a Rock and Metal mix. I’ve never had a particular label for us, ya know? I guess it was the Bloody Kisses era and the vampire spoof stuff…“Black No. 1” was like a spoof. We had an interesting thing happen and part of the reason why it was commercially successful was because the Goth kids thought we were really cool because we were doing “Black No. 1” and it was about being Gothic and the people who weren’t Gothic thought it was cool because we were spoofing people who were Gothic. So we got two audiences out of it and I think that made it a more widely accepted piece of work. I think it was a big contributor to it’s success.”

Sorry guys, but Type O Negative is definitely not doom metal. I can never uderstand why people allways insist, says that, about them, that they are doom.
[edit] playgirl controversy
"Frontman Peter Steele has appeared naked in Playgirl. The band's bio states that the rest of the band "laugh[ed] themselves into seizures after Hickey [found] out through his publishing world contacts that [only] 23% of the magazine's subscribers are female". [1] Steele was reportedly "very disheartened" when he found out about the magazine's demographics, this resulted in the track 'I Like Goils' (Life is Killing Me) to underline his purely straight stance on his sexuality"
i dont know how correct this is since theres a clip of him saying the reason he did it so he could have more female and gay fans coming to there concert.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Curefreak (talk • contribs) 20:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC). (Curefreak)
[edit] new template?
Hi, I have already changed the template a little.. making it green and all.
Any thoughts on a change to reflect the Dead Again scripture?

It's slightly confusing. My thoughts. Master of Metal (Have a chat!) 07:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
