Dang, dude has not aged at all
"...and now Type O is gone and we're missing it."
We all are.
“How did you guys become the posterboys of goth rock?”
“(...) Pete designed the music to attract a certain type of woman.”
Incredible.
I mean, that's always been obvious, and they were always tongue in cheek about it.
I laughed pretty hard at that.

When Pigs Fly Type O Negative was basically hair metal for goth chicks lmao
Von_Nightmare_ Luciferian Cocteau Twins too
I wish Peter is still around.
So do I he was my favorite
Me, too. 💚
He is still around, he will live through the music forever. There was nothing like Type O Negative before and there will never be anything like them again.
+Peace Dweller what about when the Sun expands?
Peace Dweller absolutely....
This guy is the real deal...he's kind of nervous and edgy, but he's intense and wants to get it out. he's got a burning intelligence and sincerity.
Love the dry humour of Kenny and the guys and their unstoppable sarcastic remarks . That 90’s spirit
Fall is here. Time to pop in October Rust.

Can I pretend for like twenty-four hours that we went for delicious coffee once, and we had an awesome time? 😉🍵

Look at _you_ in those leaves... 😍🍁🍂
My Barfday is on the *Ides of 8CTOBA'.*🍬
🎃😬
🔼See- _I'm a pumpkin._ LOL
absolutely yes autumn=October Rust
Tribute for the GREEeeeennnn Man
October Rust is my fall and winter album. Even though it's my second favorite album ever, it doesn't feel fitting to play it other than quarter 4 of the year.
Damn right!
"His ghost was standing over my shoulder..." :( RIP Pete,fuckin a,that hits hard
I am touched he thought of Josh for keyboard parts but understood his new life and that he is proud of him. That was touching to hear.
Looney-Tick Productions I agree, that was so nice.
It’s good to hear Kenny. He still feels a deep belonging to Type O Negative. It’s good to hear him staying true to his colors.
I miss Type O so bad. I'm curious to hear this.
Nicholas Romig my heart hasn't been the same since Pete died and Type (-) is no more but thank God all the albums are timeless
Nicholas Romig saw them in Hampton NH last week w LOA it was awesome!!!
Daniel Baugher Well Said. I Agree 💯.
Nicholas Romig me too I miss these guys so much I will never go a day without listening to them 💚🖤that’s why it’s important to support their bands now Silvertomb & a pale horse named death 💀
Me too
I was lucky to meet Peter before he passed away.I met him in Allentown Pennsylvania. I saw the type o tour bus,so I ran over to the bus,seen Peter and said hello.He said to me- nice to meet you sir.I was like holy crap,he called me sir.Peter shook my hand and as I walked away from Peter,I felt so old.lol Peter was so nice to me.I will never forget him.RIP Peter.
Finally an interviewer who asks legitimate questions. Good vid.
"6dollars a minute!6dollars a minute!"
He sounds like George Costanza here,lol!
Fun fact: Jason Alexander was literally doing a Woody Allen imitation on the first few Seinfeld episodes. He stopped during filming one day and said "Nobody would ever act like this". Larry David went berserk and yelled at Jason "This happend to ME! and this is EXACTLY how I acted!". Jason said that from that day forward he was doing a Larry David imitation. So when you hear George, you're really hearing Larry David.
He has that east coast ny accent
😂
Makes sense. Kenny has that strong Brooklyn accent. George Castanza is a New Yorker.
My dad is from Brooklyn and has that same accent 😅
Thanks so much for interviewing Kenny. The nostalgia I feel when I hear him talk about Type O is amazing.
6 months before Peter passed away I traveled two and a half hours to see Type O on one of their Halloween shows in 2009, so literally just 6 months before Peter passed away. When the person that I was with and I got out of the car and stood in front of the venue we could hear sound-checking of "Wolf Moon" and Pete pouring himself into the microphone. The hair on my arms stood straight up. Later on that night after the show I met Pete, Kenny and Johnny and I still, to this day, cannot believe Pete is gone. I am truly glad that Johnny and Kenny perform music together and are still in this cohesive and inseparable brotherhood and bond and doing so well!
Rust in peace, Pete!
No joke, doll. It's crazy still. The night I finally saw Type I live was BY FAR one of the greatest nights of my life. (2007) Somewhat small venue packed with people (asshole to elbow) and their sound was GREAT! Everything I'd ever hoped for and had waited for. So glad you & I had the chance to see them before they were gone! Rust in peace indeed!
Chicago?
I was at that show and finally got to see them.
It was one of my favorite concerts I've ever attended.
I love hearing stories like these. Thanks for sharing! :)
You’re welcome. He was hilarious.
Bogart’s, Cincinnati, Ohio. ☺️
I love it how Kenny acknowledges a presence hanging over him when he was putting his tunes together. I truly believe Peter was their as guidance. I like to think Peter would be proud of Kenny,Josh and Johnny,doing what they love.
Even though Peter was at times filled with self hate I wondered if he knew how much TON had impacted so many people's lives,the music that they created together was just superb. Loved by so many,touched alot of people.
Such beautiful boys.
I can just hear Peter saying in that thick Brokln accent, "What?! You tink dat just cuz I'm dead you don't still have ta do what what I tells ya?"🤣
Always loved Kenny's vocals, and his new band rocks....but can't help but feel a wave of sadness remembering that Pete's gone.
Kenny is such a good story teller.
He’s a true New Yawker! 💪🏼😂
There’s not a single death of a musician that hurts me as much as Peter’s. There was never, nor will there ever be an artist like him. I bought Bloody Kisses when I was 15 and it blew my mind! Still one of the most nostalgic albums for me.
When I REALLY listen to TON I can hear how Josh was sooooo brilliant at orchestrating and producing it. From a fan standpoint it was really hard to catch that humble genius because you had two great front guys: Peter and Kenny. I'm glad Josh is happy in his quite honorable career as an EMT, but I hope someday he comes back to music. He was brilliant!
Yeah that Piano line in Death in The Family gets me everytime with chills. And he was a fucking cut up! Hope he stays safe saving lives on the streets!
Well said man. So many layers...
The keyboards during the last part of
"Wolf Moon" is genius.
(Lush keyboards that takes song to its last section.)
Whoever wrote that has amazing God given talent.
Dude yes especially world coming down with the drum sounds and production Josh silver is a producer god.
You guys are nuts...Peter did *ALL* of the songwriting in this band. These were his compositions, not Silver's. Josh was just the guy who ensured that everyone showed up to the studio and gave their utmost. At least this is what I've been told anyway...
Totally cried when he says it feels like Peter was standing over him. It’s crazy how you can feel so close to people you never knew, through music.
It’s very real shit music is an energy just like love. Frequency is the language of the universe RIP green man and thank you for your art💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Fucking love this new band. “The ghost of Peter was standing over my shoulder ...” Yes, he fucking is. Excellent work Kenny. I wish I could have seen your new band live. Fucking New York sold out before I could get my tickets.
I swear I LOVE this comment section almost as much as I love Kenny Hickey & Type O Negative! VERY awesome people here!! Rock on, brothers & sisters \m/ GREAT interview by the way!
This guy sounds like a real artist that takes time to get the sound he’s hearing in his head and capture it. Really anxious for the album. Sounds unique and what’s missing in today’s music.
Damn I miss Type O... Going to check out Silvertomb though.
hmetaljustin same here
Yeah, Silvertomb and APHND are planning to release a new album, too.
Bring back a Kenny please.
Pale horse named death and seventh void are better than silvertomb and are made from the remaining type o members
I absolutely loved Kenny's guitar sound.
Kenny is so flippin down to earth love him and will always be a fan of Type O Negative. This new Silvertomb stuff is bad ass.
Peter Steele I wish we could have meet in this life. Will have to see you in the next.
Damn. Nostalgic seeing Kenny again :/
JoyfulNonsense yes, and he really reminds me off Peter. Mannerisms and facial expressions. Have much Dvd footage of Type O-, before Peter passed. But for some reason, I see Peter speaking through him. WOW, he said it as I'm typing this...
He talks about 1993 like it's 10,000 years ago.

Michael Stephen yeah, back when I was 10,015 years old. I remember it well... the best year ever ! It’s been centuries and still haven’t met a year like 1993
May as well have been.
who the interviewer or kenny
in cultural and music industy terms. it was. back then no pro tools, voice modification, autotune garbage
So good that Kenny is keeping it close to Type O. HE should be proud and is!
"Tried to do the music justice..." That has to be the greatest understatement in musical history! What amazingly humble words from an incredibly talented musican! I can’t wait to hear the new record :-)
I just bought Silvertomb's album and I really love it. Glad Kenny is continuing with his awesome playing
Kenny is an awesome cat and provided great high end vocals to contrast Peter's deep baritone growl! Checking Silvertomb out for sure and hope to catch them live! Godspeed Kenny! R.I.P. Peter.
Always so honest in his interviews. What you see is what you get.
Much, much respect to Kenny and Johnny for keeping the spirit alive! I hope this album does very well. And Josh for haunting the takes of every Type-O record out there.
Miss this band, so much............................TON is one of the greatest American bands, ever !
Josh is the greatest rock keyboardist, ever....................why did he not make millions and still be playing ? Roadrunner really screwed this band.
I miss TON so much I still listen to them every day!
Oh Kenny you still got it! Love Type o after all these years keep on keeping on Kenny!!😀
I gotta say, the interviewer did a good job with his questions, they weren’t too much about the old days but still gave the interview some nostalgic feel. Good questions and he seems to have been either cool with Kenny or made him feel comfortable at least. Kenny is awesome too, humble as hell and a damn great musician.
If only Type O was still around.
Daniel Hernandez2 I’m glad I saw them live when I did. I miss them the most around the Halloween season.
I miss them a lot too. I did catch them on the Bloody Kisses tour. Outdoor gig, just as the sun set. Fog and green lighting on the stage. Spooky..........I peed a little
Awesome. Glad you didn't stay gone for long man. Type O is why I started playing the way I do. 🤘
@Jesse Williams I bet you're fun at parties
But u suck....sooo
Type O Negative is hands down the greatest band I've ever heard. Love them to death, RIP Peter Steele
This is the most honest thing I'Ve ever heard from a musician.
Thank you for this
Remember wanting to play Type O songs on guitar as a teen, but they were tuned soooo low that the strings would be out of tune after about 5 seconds.
Honestly, I haven't been able to listen to TON since Peter passed. It just bummed me out too much, in a bad way. I'm really jonesing for some October Rust right now though. Maybe it's time to try again. Also gonna check out Silvertomb!
The trick to downtuning that low is to have heavier gauge strings for your A & E strings. I use .049 for the E and .038 for the A.
Glad to see him back in music and love his attitude..
Go Kenny!!!! Forge onward!!! Feelin it
You look great! Man,, you and Johnny still got it! It's good to hear Josh is happy and doing great things. Its so wonderful to hear this music , I miss TON, and Pete. Thank you for this perfection.
"Face the music." Always excellent to hear Kenny talk about anything. Thanks, MI.
I've had the pleasure of meeting him after a show. Such a nice down to earth dude. I'm getting this new record.
great interview, glad to see Kenny has returned
o7
He never left
Will support anything these guys do. Johnny Kelly is truly one of the nicest guys in metal. Wish nothing but the best for these guys. Long live Type O!🤘🏻
It's been very rare few gems that pop up in my feed for me to watch that I'm completely excited for till the past 2 months. I love old 80's goth rock to my very core, it's what still keeps me going in my mid 30's. 90's goth rock kicked ass too, I remember buying all of the Type O CDs back then on their release dates. Sometimes I miss that thrilled as shit "holy fuck an album is coming out and I am going to love ALL of it and I gotta get it NOW" feeling. There is not many bands I can say that about other than Type O, Nine Inch Nails, and my current odd addiction of the bunch NSP.
KENNNNNY!!!! (insert sick guitar solo)
Cannot wait for this album! There's been a hole in my life since the end of TON.
Kennnnnnny!!( peter voice)
New stuff sounds great! Cant wait. 👊
I liked this interview. I'm really glad he's still doing stuff, I thought he had stopped completely after TON. What a killer tone this guy has on guitar.
I am going to my room now to play bloody kisses on cassette CD and vinyl, goodbye for now
Its soooooo good to him back!
He never left
I wished he could have gotten Josh on this record. He was such a brilliant key player and always set the mood for whatever he played on.
So glad to see this guy again! This guy is so fucking authentic! Rock on Kenny💀💀💀👍👍
Thank you so much for this interview. One of the biggest influences that caused me to pick up a guitar.
Great interview! It's a breath of fresh air to hear a musician embrace his past and biggest success like this. The ghost of Peter Steele as an influence, and a Beatles quote...come on! As a fan, how could I not have enjoyed this?
I fuckin’ love Kenny!
You dont know how much we love you Kenny!
Just came to this after listening to Silvertomb.
They encapsulated the Type O feel.
That Black Sabbath Doom n' Gloom feel is right where it needs to be.
One,of the most underrated guitarists and one my favorites in the top 3 🎸
Kenny is the reason I began playing schecter guitars. One of my favorites as well. Cheers! V
@@GetzGoth I'd kill to have a lefty green and black Schecter Kenny Hickey signature! Learning on a righty Bill Kelliher (Mastadon) ESP which IS green but not the same man. It's hard as Hell learning on a righty but I digress. Haha!
GetzGoth 3113 cheers stay negative (-) 🎸
Buttercuppy keep rocking 🎸
@@danielbaugher826 You do the same man! You have great tastes
love you and anyone apart of type O negative. will always be my favourite band !!
Adam Orlowski definitely one of the best bands ever.
Good to hear from him! I'm more into the Type O sound, but the new band seems pretty solid. Kennys vocals are very strong, always were. He makes a good frontman.
Kenny's tone and style awesome.
So nice to see Kenny & all the stuff he shared! Great interview. Really wanna hear the new music.
Wow what an amazing interview! Kenny still kenny!! Die hard Typo fan and so proud of him band silvertomb. One of the best guitarist around;☺☺
Kenny, we all are behind u bud....glad to see u moving forward.Glad to have some new music and personally look forward to the future with Silvertomb! From the dynamical looking glass u mentioned....it's everything I could expect from u bro! God bless-See ya on the road!!
Type O Negative. My fave. I wish Peter was still here.
I love his accent so much. Every man involved with Type O seems such a fun person to be around. Too bad I only found out about them now.
"6 dollars a minute!!!!" Kenny Hickey. He a legend! Him, Johnny Kelly, Josh Silver. RIP Pete.
Good to see Kenny doing well, just makes me think what would be happening now if Pete was still around 😢
I hung with The Drab Four for many years. Seen their shows over and over again. I have tons of pics and signed memorabilia from them all. I miss those Providence, Worcester and NY shows! I miss hanging around with them at Duffs! Type O for life \m/\m/
Scorpire Eric G Worcester palladium! Seen em there.
@@MidnightOwlOfficial Wicked! I've seen them there twice. Rock N Shock was the best there! I asked Pete in the parking lot to play Wolf Moon. It wasn't on their set and he played it that night, wicked cool! He gave us all candy at their bus after the show, he said it was from Glenn Danzig and if we died it wasn't his fault lol. I have photos of Josh and I picking each other's nose one of those nights lol. They were the best shows ever!!
Scorpire Eric G omg that’s so awesome! I love wolf moon. I wish I had met them. Never got the chance. I love in Massachusetts. Hit me up on Instagram @midnightowl16. Also I have a TH-cam channel.
I've been wondering about Josh. Kenny and Johnny too obviously but Josh stays out of the public eye. I'm glad he's doing good. Amazing people and great music
I think Josh is still living his life as a paramedic.
+Ian McCauley He took a haircut and shaved the beard, right?
As glad as I am he found his calling... I would be so fucking happy if he was the first responder with his hair and beard lmao, dude had a badass presence.
What an excellent interview, Kenny your an awesome musician and person I haven't heard an interview from the heart like that ever.
Kenny’s work in Type O was epic!!!
I meant him and Johnny Kelly at Duff's in Brooklyn NY.
Duffs!!!
Bellevue!!!
Jimmy & the Hearse!
I bet they were fucking cool.
@@docnasty74 not really. They look like they are... well. You know.
What?
@@unicron99999 drugs
It's odd that in a friends group it's not Kenny who always dies........
RIP Pete... I miss you.
i loved that south park joke. and rip pete :((
Really cool Kenny explaining the way albums were made the old skool way,and I hope that his vision of music and unique guitar style brings him and his new band lots of success and maybe some clean sleeping area(LOL)
This guy has played some of the baddest riffs ever. TON was unique and about 5 or 6 of their songs are some of the best things I've ever heard.
Type O'Negative it pure perfection,they dont know any limits how long their tunes should be!!!!One of most influencial and original bands ever
Wow great story and interview. Great to have him back. Loved Seventh Void which I saw in 2011.
So glad they will carry on. Can't wait to hear the album.
Bloody kisses the song is the greatest death dirge of all time
Peter wrote the lyrics after the death of one of his cats
oh shit kenny omega a fan of type o negative dam!!! mined blown lol
That and 'Suspended in Dusk', Mike m.
It is. I've never heard a song before or since that provokes the emotions of that song.
Gravital constant, more so. Gouls are nothing, compared to the crushing force of life.
thank you for that interview. i really miss Type O and all these guys. RIP Peter.
It's good to see some of the guys from Type O going back out and starting a new band, and the snippet sounds great, sounds like something I'd dig a lot :]
Kenny sounds awesome, he's always been pretty well spoken....
Type o Negative was my beloved band back then. Miss those old times...
Love this guy, been waiting for so long for their new album:-)
Стареет, но с годами становится лучше!
Помню его космические вокальные ставки в World Coming Down.
Great interview! Really loved this honesty from him - one of the few real guys out there that doesn't dress things up - tells it how it is.
This is a great interview. Kenny is one of my favorite musicians of all time. I love his commitment to his craft.
9:51 I really hope that Josh would reconsider his decision and reunite with Kenny and Johnny.
So great to have him back, one of my favourite guitarists & singers of all time.
Kenny's face just sez I miss the old days
Nice! Real excited about this new album coming out from Kenny!
Kenny!!!! 🥰💚🖤
What an awesome interview. Miss Type O so much. Been a fan for 25 or so years. Jeez forever right? Loved Seventh Void. Love the new song. Looks like Silvertomb is going to be a new favorite.
October 1st. Damn I miss Pete and Type O. Thanks for this interview, great to see Kenny and Johnny back at it, really looking forward to the new record.
25 years later...
And still coked out of his mind.
Beautiful.
