Review of the Type O Negative show in Providence, RI

By: Jim Eden

Negophites,

Well I went to the Providence show last night and saw my first Type-O show. Manhole and Life of Agony opened up. LOA was cool, Manhole I thought sucked, some goth chic screaming her lungs out, all I could make out was the word "bitch" everyother word, but oh well. Seeing Peter Steele Live.....Holy Shit!!! That guy is HUGE! For all you who care it was a green tank this time. He wore a police(?) hat for the first few songs, but then let his hair down. Overall It was a kickin show. Spent a good deal of it protecting my girlfriend from the pit, which was pretty much the whole damn building!

Here is the set list the order may not be correct but hey...

I think thats it.

Some of Pete's quotes....
"If your drinking and driving........make sure you run over someone you hate."
"Feel free to sing along, it's still a free country.........til I'm elected."
He aslo dedicated Hey Bachus to some fan who's friend just died.

Well there it is kiddo.....
