    THE LAST WORD
    The ultimate questions on life, sex and body odour. This week, TYPE O
    NEGATIVE'S Pete Steele talks to Jason Arnopp.
    
    Last time you flew into a jealous rage?
    "Probably when I tried to kill myself, which was October 15, 1989. I was
    really fucking out of my mind back then, but I've learnt that no one is
    worth hurting yoursewlf for. And you can't base your happiness around
    someone else, because when he or she leaves, there goes your little world.
    So now I'm trying to be happy with myself, and when I meet someone I don't
    expect them to make me happy. I try to share my happiness with them."
    
    Last time you did something you regretted?
    "There are times during touring because the four of us are constantly
    trapped together, when I do say things that I don't really mean. I'm mad at
    myself, I'm mad at the world, and as a human being I take it out on people
    that I care about. Things that I'm not proud of."
    
    Last time you shared a "menage-a-trois" with two young ladies?
    "That would have been after one of our Carnivore shows, in new York. I
    happened to meet two nice young ladies, and one thing led to another. One
    above, and one below. A sandwich of love."
    
    Last time you masturbated in a public place?
    "I'm so into privacy that this would have to be about 15 years ago. I'd met
    some girl in a Brooklyn club, one thing would lead to the next, and
    genitals would be squirting shit all over the place, in the back of the
    car. So that would be my car, 15 years ago."
    
    Last time you dabbled with hard drugs?
    "Does cocaine qualify? I've done it maybe 10 times. The last time was well
    over a year ago. I got really drunk, and I guess I wanted to feel even
    better. Somebody had some, and I filled up one of my sinuses with it. I was
    wide-awake drunk for a day, which is always fuckin' fun. but nothing is as
    much fun as the headache that follows."
    
    Last time you drank so much red wine onstage that the show suffered?
    "You know, it's not so much when I drink too much red wine. It's when I run
    out of red wine, and start drinking beer. The two really don't mix. Years
    ago, during a gig in Brooklyn, I remember waking up on the floor of the
    stage entangled somehow in the strings of my bass. It was like a fucking
    medieval torture device. Everyone thought it was a great show, but I have
    no recollection of it. It's everything in moderation now."
    
    Last time you said, "That's the last time..."?
    "Probably every time I vomit through drinking too much. Also, there was a
    time about three years ago when I had sex with a woman without a condom.
    She was acting really hot and we didn't catch anything from each other, but
    after that I vowed to never do that again."
    
    Last person you'd like to be trapped in a lift with?
    "Anyone who doesn't wear deodorant. Body odour makes my eyes water."
    
    Last time you wanted to punch somebody?
    "I've been under a lot of pressure lately with this band, and there are
    certain people who work within this organisation who I'd love to beat to
    death. But I will try to deal with matters contractually, nto physically.
    Generally, only ignorant people have to resort to violence."
    
    Last time you heard great new music?
    "It's usually by accident. I'm in the car with the radio on and I hear
    something which passes before I can even get the name. It's usually not
    rock music. What I'm into right now is science fiction and horror
    soundtracks. Ultimately, after Type O Negative dissolves - all good things
    and bad things must come to an end - perhaps soundtracks are something I
    might want to get into."
    
    Last time you felt embarrassed?
    "Usually when I hurt someone that I love and care for, by speaking before I
    think. That happens all the time."
    
    Last time you cried laughing?
    "During the course of the last Carnivore shows. Me and Louie the drummer go
    back a long way, and it got really funny, talking about the old days over a
    few drinks. It was funny to the point where the liquor starts coming out of
    your nose."
    
    How long can you last?
    "I can last as long as there is a need for me to last."
