EXCITER Frontman Pays Tribute To PETER STEELE

April 16, 2010

Vocalist Kenny Winter of Canadian thrash metal pioneers EXCITER has released the following statement regarding the passing of TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele:

"Kenny Winter and EXCITER would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends and fans of Peter Steele. I had the opportunity to meet him back in '93 at the famed Limelight in New York City. I don't have to elaborate how intimidated I was by his height but he had such calm demeanor and a soft spoken way about him that immediately put me at ease. Our conversation was short but he made such an impression that I became a fan. I saw his CARNIVORE reunion show at the Limelight as well, one of the most primal performances I have ever witnessed. Fan reaction was enviable. But, funny as it may seem, one of the things I remember the most is his car [see picture below]… it scared the hell out me.

"From CARNIVORE to TYPE O NEGATIVE, Pete Steele was an ass-kickin' performer.

"Forever immortal."
