That was a pivotal point in the relationship between Roadrunner and Type O Negative. There's nothing I can add to this." We also got word back from other producers that the album was great the way it was, so we let the band do it. As I recall, we actually reached out and sent the demo to Jim Steinman or to his representatives and the word we got back was, "Why do you need me? It's all there. We were like, "No, we've got to get a producer" and the only name they would give us was Jim Steinman, who had worked on Bat Out of Hell. So we had a little bit of a battle with them. They felt like they could make it great on their own. Josh and Peter were a very insulated unit and didn't think they needed a producer. They objected because they were very DIY. We were so excited by the demos that we actually said to the band, "Let's go in and get a real producer, spend money and really go to town on this." We were ready to roll up our sleeves and invest in the band to make a masterpiece. 1" and "Christian Woman." We freaked out and realized, "Wow, we've got something here that could take the band further than anyone could have imagined."ĭID YOU EVER CONSIDER USING AN OUTSIDE PRODUCER INSTEAD OF HAVING THE BAND PRODUCE THE ALBUM? When they presented us with that, we got very excited right off the bat because the demo started off with "Black No. Everything was pretty much the way it wound up on the album. After they finished demoing these songs, they sent them to us and it was about 80 percent of the record done in a professional-quality recording. He had his own home studio and Type O Negative did these extensive pre-production demos there. We did, and the reason is because Josh was the producer and engineer - the main knob twiddler. WHEN TYPE O STARTING RECORDING BLOODY KISSES, DID YOU KNOW THEY WERE PLANNING THIS SONIC TRANSFORMATION? So the redone Bloody Kisses basically eliminated the past entirely to make the record cohesive and establish this new direction. It had all the interludes removed and a song called "Suspended in Dusk" was added, which was more of a goth track. The reason I mention that is because after Bloody Kisses came out we put out a digipak version with a different cover. Origin of the Feces was his way of fixing that album to the way he heard it in his head. Basically, when Slow, Deep and Hard came out and Peter started touring for that record, in his mind he had already moved ahead and he had revised and changed the songs. The songs they played from Slow, Deep and Hard have different titles and they're arranged differently. He always wanted to redo things and that's why the record Origin of the Feces is the way it is. He was one of these guys that didn't want to put anything to bed. I mean, if Peter was alive, he'd be in right now, today remixing Bloody Kisses.
Peter was the kind of guy that was never happy with the final result. WHY DO FANS ARGUE THAT OCTOBER RUST IS THE BETTER RECORD?īecause Bloody Kisses has a few feet left back in the Slow, Deep and Hard days.
