Never heard of Peter Steele, but the "Type O Negative" comment intrigued me, so I looked it up, expecting some bloody story to follow.
Turns out it's a story of intellectual property and trying to come up again and again with a unique band name only to find out somebody beat you to it. For those as ignorant as I am, his band was "Repulsion" first but had to change its name because there was already another "Repulsion." Then it was "Subzero" and he even got a tattoo with a zero containing a minus sign, when he found out there was already another "Subzero." He already was committed to the tattoo and "Type O Negative" also could be used to describe that ink, so he stuck with "Type O Negative." It appears there are no other "Type O Negatives."
