R.I.P. Peter Steele

After the infamous ''2005 Fake-Death Scare'' where the band had put a tombstone on their website claiming he'd died, Type O Negative's Peter Steele (né Petrus T. Ratajczyk) has really passed away this week, at age 48.

To get the ''Playgirl nudes'' episode out of the way, click here for NSFW pics; if you are unimpressed with the size of his manliness, as was I before I remembered this very important fact: keep in mind he was over 2 meters tall, 6'7''... so add a couple of inches to what you thought he had packing.

They say he might have died of heart failure, which isn't too much of a surprise considering he was jailed and treated for substance abuse in recent years, a situation that had left him estranged from his sisters, which led him to write the song 'Tripping A Blind Man'.

It's a true Monster Of Rock we lost, this time around.
