  • I just picked up the Dec 1996 issue of Metal Edge. There is an interview
    with Pete in it. I'm not going to type the whole thing, cause it's just your
    standard fare, 5 sisters, brought up Catholic, Pete is shy...etc... but
    there is one Q&A which I thought I'd quote:
    
    Q:" Are you aware of the America Online bulletin board for Type O?"
    
    Lord P: "No, I do not have a computer. I just don't have the time. I don't
    have that much of a use for one. I'm not one of those people who has the
    time to sit there and chat with the other _geeks_ about this and that, I
    have better things to do with my time. I'm not gonna sit on my ass and start
    rumors."
    ********************************************************************************
    
    Hmmmmmm. does he mean _WE_ are a bunch of geeks too? I was kind of offended
    by this, especially because I consider this list to be perhaps a collection
    of TON's most devoted fans. Later on at the end of the interview, Petes
    message to the fans is (in part) "We hope to gain some new fans and pay some
    bills through album sales"
    
    Well it doesn't help to alienate your best fans. So he has better things to
    do than sit on his ass and start rumors? Well, we can start the rumors for
    him, as we do, however, if he'd change the policy of "ignore the fans" and
    respond to some of our inquiries, maybe we could put some of those rumors to
    rest with some concrete info!
    
    I am steaming about this right now. Some of you are probably not bothered by
    this at all, but I thought you all would like to know what Pete _REALLY_
    thinks of us! :<
