TYPE O BIO

PETER STEELE (NOT HIS REAL LAST NAME, BUT I’M NOT TELLING YOU) HE WAS BORN ON THE FOURTH DAY OF JANUARY 1962, AS THE YOUNGEST OF SIX CHILDREN, THE OTHER FIVE SISTERS. HE WAS NAMED AFTER HIS FATHER. HIS FATHER DIED A FEW DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS IN 1995, AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT RED WATER WAS WRITTEN AT LEAST IN PART ABOUT HIM.

KENNY HICKEY, PROBABLY MY FAVORITE IN THE BAND, WAS BORN ON MAY 22, 1966, THE SAME DAY AS MOM, JUST A FEW YEARS LATER. HE AND GIRLFRIEND BONNIED HAD A CHILD AT THE BEGINNING OF 1997, AND THEY NAMED HER MEGHAN. ACCORDING TO SOME REPORTS, HE WAS A PLUMBER.

JOSH SILVER WAS BORN ON NOVEMBER 14, 1962. HE BEGAN PLAYNG THE PIANO AT AGE EIGHT. "MY MOTHER SAID, 'TAKE THESE LESSONS, IT WILL BE GOOD FOR YOU", THAT TYPICAL JEWISH MOTHER THING" HE SAID ABOUT HIS BEGINNINGS IN METAL EDGE. HE SPENT MUCH OF HIS YOUNGER DAYS BETWEEN BANDS, MANY TIMES WITH PETER. HE OWNS SYSTEMS TWO STUDIOS IN BROOKLYN, WHERE TYPE O DOES ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS. HE WAS MARRIED THIS LAST SUMMER, TO A LONGTIME FRIEND FROM BROOKLYN. THIS IS HIS SECOND MARRIAGE

JOHNNY KELLY, THE BANDS SECOND DRUMMER, WAS BORN ON MARCH 9, 1968. HE WAS THE BANDS DRUM TECH BEFORE HE TOOK OVER FOR SAL AFTER BLOODY KISSES WAS RELEASED. NOT MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT HIS EARLY LIFE, BUT IT IS KNOWN THAT HE WAS TRAINED AS A DIESEL MECHANIC. HE WAS MARRIED JUST BEFORE NEW YEARS TO HIS GIRLFRIEND ANITA. CONGRATS TO THEM! I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY LEARNED THAT HE WAS A POSTMAN AS WELL, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE TRUE, AS IT IS QUOTED FROM METAL EDGE.
