Ex-Type O Negative guitarist Kenny Hickey has revealed new details about staging Peter Steele tribute concerts with the band’s surviving members. In a recent interview, Hickey discussed the challenges of moving forward with the project, particularly regarding keyboardist Josh Silver’s involvement.

“He [Josh Silver] doesn’t wanna do it. So maybe it’ll take some convincing… He would have to answer that question. He was always the kind of guy who’s 150% guy. If he’s not 150%, then he’s not gonna do it. He’s got other things going on,” Hickey explained.

Despite Silver’s hesitation, Hickey remains optimistic about the tribute’s potential. “So, we’ll see. We’ll see how things pan out. Maybe he won’t have other things going on in the near future. We would be into doing it in a tribute fashion, yeah. Yes. It would be cool to do maybe a dozen shows or something like that. Have some great stand-in singer — [or] singers — it would be a cool thing to do. Absolutely,” he added.

The comments reveal that while interest in honoring the late Type O Negative frontman continues to grow, the logistics of reuniting the surviving members remain complicated. Hickey’s remarks suggest that Silver’s busy schedule and perfectionist approach are the primary obstacles to making these tribute shows a reality.

The push for Peter Steele tribute concerts extends beyond the band members themselves. Promoters and agents have been actively approaching Type O Negative’s surviving members about staging these shows, as Sonic Perspectives reports. This increased interest reflects the band’s enduring popularity and the financial incentives surrounding potential tribute events. Hickey has acknowledged that “a lot of people” are actively pursuing the idea, demonstrating the commercial viability of such a project.

The surge in interest underscores how Type O Negative’s legacy continues to resonate with both longtime fans and new generations of metal enthusiasts. Louder Sound notes that the more the band’s cultural value increases, the more aggressively promoters pursue the surviving members about potential reunion projects. This dynamic has created ongoing pressure on Hickey and his bandmates to consider the tribute concept seriously.

Keyboardist Josh Silver’s resistance to the tribute project remains a significant hurdle. Silver’s reluctance stems from his characteristic “all or nothing” approach to music, as Blabbermouth reports. Hickey’s comments about Silver being “150% guy” reflect the keyboardist’s perfectionist standards. If he cannot fully commit to a project with complete dedication, he prefers not to participate at all.
