In a new interview with Scott Penfold of Loaded Radio, ex-TYPE O NEGATIVE guitarist Kenny Hickey was asked if there has been any talk about teaming up with the other surviving members of TYPE O NEGATIVE to stage a Peter Steele tribute concert with various guest musicians. He said: “There has, yes. A lot of people are approaching us. There are a lot of agents (contacting us). There’s money in it, so the more the value goes up, the more they’re gonna hound us.”

According to Hickey, former TYPE O NEGATIVE keyboardist Josh Silver, who is married to Kenny‘s wife’s sister, is still unwilling to commit to a Peter Steele tribute project, having spent “a long time” working for New York City as a paramedic.

“Josh is really, at this point, he’s very resistant,” Kenny told Loaded Radio. “But we’ll see. We don’t know what’s gonna happen. Josh is about to retire (from his job as a paramedic) soon, so we don’t know what’s gonna happen. It all depends on how much money it’s worth and how much is waved(in front of us.”

Asked if he has a particular singer, or several vocalists, in mind as far as whom he would want to front TYPE O NEGATIVE for such a concert or tour, Kenny said: “No, no. It’s a very hard thing to get my head around. If something really gets concrete, then I’ll really start thinking about it and painting over it, because there’s (also) the issue of the bass playing. Peter‘s bass playing was more unique than his vocals. Deep, baritone vocals — a lot of people with a deep voice could do that shit and roll your Rs… But his bass plan was very, very unique.”
