each of them defined their own genre and was a pioneer in it, each is going to be missed a lot =[

Just wondering, from what did they die?

RIP

Pete is from sudden heart failure.

and Dio is from stomache cancer

this is before it happened.

and this is Pete saying everything dies

Note : Type O Negative lyrics are all Black Humor and not serious.

Peter Steele, too? Jesus.

True story: I saw a lady who was a dead ringer for Ronnie James Dio just the other day. Same complexion, same build, same hairline even... except she had huge titties. I'm glad I was in my car at the time, because laughing in her face would have been pretty awkward.

Fucking hell, what a bummer. It's just like 2004 all over again.

Holy dier

Not familiar with many bands but I do love what I know of the genre. That song Holy Diver posted early on was excellent. Hope these guys rest in peace.

May they rest in peace.
