Then again, he might be laughing at us right now.

At one moment, we had our laughs with and at Peter the next moment, as he was dying far from his home and his family, we knew to expect no further fun and games from him. At one moment, his family was awaiting his return from Pennsylvania the next, so began life in a world filled with little reminders of their special big man. Consider it: At one moment, Peter was poised to relocate to Staten Island to commence work on new Type O music the next moment, he had gone and his surviving bandmates were left to contemplate a future without him. In our conclusion, recurrent themes include the painful timing of his death and the future that could have been. In the first installment of our salute to Peter Steele, his friends, family, and bandmates talked to MetalSucks about their relationships with Peter, his modesty and talents, his genuine respect for fans, and his new commitment to a healthy life. He inadvertently made it so that his bandmates would forever be asked to autograph pictures of his nude body. At the final stop of Type O Negative’s tour with Pantera, he instigated a multiple body pile-up on stage during a song. Once he, like, totally frenched an admirer on stage at The Ricki Lake Show. Or maybe he drops a bad pun or a hoary old uncle joke, causing you to mingle groans with guffaws. His remark might disregard standards of good taste or social sensitivity you choke down tee-hees while scanning your proximity for aghast eavesdroppers. His joke might be brutally self-deprecating, but you laugh with a knitted brow. I get the same feeling watching his interviews. It seems like he invariably got the chuckling started himself his companions merely could wait and watch, then break into laughter whether they wanted to or not.

As far as I can tell, it was easy to laugh with Peter Steele.
