I’m like, ‘Yeah, cool man!’ just saying anything so I could play with the guy!” He nods, saying he’s always wanted to have a band with electronica – keyboards, samples and things like that. I asked if he wanted to hang out and jam, have some fun. “His father answered the door and let me down, and there’s Peter sitting in bed watching TV, having just cut all his hair off! He had just took the New York Police Department test he didn’t want to play music anymore. “I heard the news and figured I’d go over unannounced and see how he was doing,” says Sal. Peter may not have wanted to be a star, but fate had other plans in mind and it wasn’t long before it came knocking (literally). Peter was happy doing that – he was still making music, but he wasn’t so interested in becoming a star.”
“Peter was working at the Parks Department and Louie became a bus driver. “When Carnivore eventually broke up, the guys got regular jobs,” Richard Termini says. Before I started, Louie and Peter worked there too, so the boss suggested I go to Louie to take drum lessons and we became buddies.”Įven in the glory days of 80s music industry excess, a hardcore/thrash crossover band had their work cut out if they wanted to succeed, and Carnivore’s lack of touring ensured they’d never pull in big bucks. “I was apprenticing at this Latino blacksmith shop that made cowbells they’d sell to lots of big Latin American musical stars. “Louie and Peter lived just up the neighbourhood from me,” remembers Type O Negative founding member Sal Abruscato. As with most local scenes, 80s/90s Brooklyn was a somewhat incestuous entity, members of various bands intermingling and connecting along the road – which is how Louie Beato eventually came to tutor his successor.
