Sinossi
Peter Steele, all'anagrafe Peter Thomas Ratajczyk, è stato uno dei personaggi più particolari e talentuosi del panorama metal di tutti i tempi. Visionario, estroso, provocatore, amico leale e generoso, dotato di grande autoironia e di un senso dell'umorismo sarcastico e tagliente, con le sue band ha dato sfogo alla propria complessa personalità cesellando dischi osannati ancora oggi da moltissimi fan e caratterizzati dalla sua inconfondibile voce baritonale così come dal sound del suo basso. Dall'infanzia trascorsa frequentando scuole cattoliche, passando per la scena hardcore e thrash newyorchese degli anni '80 e l'apparizione sulle pagine di Playgirl nel 1995, dai giorni selvaggi dei Carnivore alla fama planetaria dei Type O Negative, Soul On Fire racconta ogni aspetto della vita e della carriera di Peter Steele, i trionfi e le difficoltà, sul palco come fuori, grazie a un numero impressionante di interviste inedite con amici, familiari e colleghi musicisti.

Fact or fiction I believe it captures the personality of Peter. I wish someone would say why the band and family have issues. Everything aside this is what I thought: An amazing testament to the gentle giant, Peter Steele...well mainly Peter Thomas Ratajczyk! Jeff Wagner vividly describes the world
i finished this book on the trip to patra. fittingly, it was raining almost all the day. i was so fortunate to see type o negative live once, in finland at tuska festival 2003. i remember that peter was very approachable, he was joking with the crowd, i believe the band asked the fans with the flag
This book is a poorly written compilation of articles and interviews previously published. The hack who wrote this seems to have little grasp of consistency and sequencing of events as the book skips ahead years, reverts to previously mentioned times,and repeats itself again and again. Example s of
* 5 Stars - Type O Negative & Peter Steele * 1 star deducted because pages 116-132 are completely missing and pages 133-148 are duplicated.

Before commenting about this book, I'd like to say a huge thank you to my friend Erleen for recommending me to hear Mr. Peter Ratajczyk's band (last name copied and pasted from elsewhere, because writing this string of consonants is asking me to misplace the letters), a.k.a.

A couple of things really bothered me about this book. Wagner writes like I do - he gets an idea he wants to portray and then repeats it over and over. The repetition makes it feel like it was written to be a series rather than a book. The word "insecure" in it's many forms is very likely on every o Leggi tutto
I thought this book was well-written, fascinating and introspective for a biography. It's a shame that it's such a limited printing (I'm pretty sure they had to order it from the author's website after I placed it on hold at the library) and so expensive because I feel like Peter Steele fans would r Leggi tutto
I must admit, I was a little bit disappointed. Of course, the theme of the book was interesting, but I didn't like the way it was written. It repeated things, explained and the author made too many own interpretations. However, I'm happy that I read this book and that it exists. Peter, we still miss Leggi tutto
I have to admit that I wasn’t a Type O Negative fan when I bought the book, although I did like Carnivore. I bought it because I am a fan of Mr Wagner’s writing, plus I was curious to find out why Peter Steele was always considered such a controversial figure. The book takes you on a very emotional r Leggi tutto
