Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I was wondering what you people think of Rob Zombie/White Zombie I think they are really cool Rob is the man I love songs like Never Gonna Stop, Feel So Numb, Black Sunshine and the White Zombie material is quality More Human Than Human, Living Dead Girl any one else like Rob?????

I love white zombie. Almost every song they made is fucking good. But all of Rob's solo stuff has been really awful to me. I don't like a single song. They all sound cheesey. Astrocreep 2000 is one of my favorite albums, and that song 'feed the gods' from the airheads soundtrack is one of my favorite songs ever.

Not a huge fan but do like some of his music..Only heard a couple
White Zombie songs..something like Thunderkiss 65 but love lots of Rob's solo stuff..Never Gonna Stop Me,Feel So Numb,Dragula, Iron Head with Ozzy is great..Would have loved to see Rob and Ozzy on the Merry Mayhem Tour..By the way why did White break up?

I have Rob Zombie's "Past, present and future" and it fuckin rocks!!

I love Rob Zombie, and I love his brother too (Powerman 5K). 

I liked White Zombie's early stuff.

What's with the "White" threads Dave_Rose?.... Racist bastard!

Now that wasn't my intention there is already a black sabbath one

Rob Zombie's second project as a feature film director, "The Devil's Rejects", has had its release date moved up to July 22 from the previously announced August 12. The decision to change the release date was apparently made by Lion's Gate Entertainment after a "killer test screening" on February 10 that established the movie as "the highest-testing movie in the history of the company," according to Zombie. "After the [test screening] they picked a small group of about 20 to discuss the film. 18 of the 20 rated the film as excellent and the other two rated it as very good. Hey, what more can I ask for?" stated Zombie.

"The Devil's Rejects" is the sequel to Zombie's directorial debut, 2003's "House Of 1000 Corpses". The rocker-turned-filmmaker has said that this movie will be much darker and nastier than its predecessor.

"The Devil's Rejects" follows "House"'s evil Firefly family as they flee from a cop bent on revenge for the murder of his brother in the first movie, according to Launch Radio Networks.

In addition to returning cast members like Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, and Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, "The Devil's Rejects" boasts an assortment of actors long associated with the horror genre, including "Halloween"'s P.J. Soles, Ken Foree from the original "Dawn Of The Dead", Michael Berryman from "The Hills Have Eyes" and Steve Railsback of "Helter Skelter" and "Ed Gein" fame.

He's an idiot. The first film was banned just about everywhere for being too graphic, now a nastier offering?!?! Making a film no one will ever see - well done.

ROB ZOMBIE's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"Well, here some exciting news kids! Just in time for Christmas is something we call 'Hellbilly Super Deluxe'! What is it you ask? Well, it a new version of 'Hellbilly Deluxe' featuring a CD of the original album plus a DVD containing videos for every song on the album! That's right every song! Included in this are all the classics like 'Living Dead Girl', 'Dragula' and 'Superbeast', but also eight never-before-seen videos including 'Meet The Creeper', 'Channel X', 'How To Make A Monster' and many more. If that ain't enough it also comes with awesomely expanded deluxe artwork case and booklet that will blow you away. This is an amazing package that no Zombie fan will want to live without!"

In other news, Rob had the following to say about his group's recent appearance at Ozzfest and their future plans:

"Hey, I'm back! Ozzfest is over and it was a total blast! It was really great to get back out there on the road and see you all again. The new band is amazing and we are dying to get back into the studio and finish the new album. I am positive this this is going to be the most kick-ass record yet. Blasko [bassist Rob Nicholson], Five [guitarist John 5, ex-MARILYN MANSON] and Tommy [drummer Tommy Clufetos, ALICE COOPER] are ready to crush it and so am I. Stay tuned for lots of news coming your way."

Heres a photo of the ROB ZOMBIE band taken by Rob's wife Sheri Moon moments after the band finished their final Ozzfest show in West Palm Beach, Florida.

White Zombie was a lot better than Rob solo IMO

Im a fan of his solo stuff but i gotta agree that White Zombie was the shit : ok:  Astro Creep 2000 is killer man :beer:

Yeah, his solo stuff is pretty good, but the White Zombie stuff is better.  Actually his last solo album wasn't that good.  There were a few good songs on it, but it was still a dissapointment.

who is bass and drums on the right ???

white zombie  :love:  :love:  :love:
la sexorcisto  :love: :love: :love:
supersexy swingin sounds  :love: :love: :love:
astro creep 2000  :love: :love: :love:

rob zombie  :P

i think rob zombie would be a heeelllll of a lot cooler if he didn't focus all his energy on trying to be creepy all the time. he was so fuckin' cool in white zombie, he branches off on his own, goes for the i'm a creepy serial killer devil worshipper type thing goin' on and it just comes off lame. he'd be so much cooler if he was just, cool, man...
he's made some fuckin' awesome videos though.. with like, the robots.. and stuff  : ok:
he's made some good songs though.... living dead girl!

 According to MTV.com, ROB ZOMBIE's revamped, revisited "Hellbilly Deluxe" will now surface on November 22; the CD/DVD set will feature expanded artwork plus a DVD including a video for each and every song on the original "Hellbilly Deluxe" album.

In other news, Zombie's second movie as a writer and director, "The Devil's Rejects", will receive a DVD and UMD (universal media disc) release on November 8. DVD bonus features include: audio commentary with Zombie, actor commentary with Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon Zombie, blooper reel, "The Morris Green Show" ?

Exclusive to the unrated Director's Cut version is 6.1 DTS ES Digital Audio, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround EX and a two-hour, 24-minute documentary called "30 Days in Hell: The Making of The Devils Rejects".

The following is Zombie's description of some of the extra features that will be available on "The Devil's Rejects" DVD:

1. First off is the documentary entitled '30 Days In Hell'. This is a very detailed 'making of' doc that follows the complete journey of the film from early meeting to the last day of shooting. If you ever wondered how much work it is to make a movie, this will give you some idea.

2. 'The Morris Green Show' ? this is the local talk show that Gloria Sullivan is watching in the motel. Well, you get to see the entire 20-minute episode, featuring the very funny Daniel Roebuck as Morris Green and Dwayne Whitaker as Dr. Robert Bankhead as expert on occult crimes.

3. Deleted scenes ? there is about 20 minutes of cut scenes, featuring such scenes as 'The Pork Rind Scene' with Ken Foree and EG Daily, 'Dr. Satan' featuring Dr. Satan, William Forsthye, MC Gainey and Rosario Dawson, and several other scenes featuring Michael 'Clevon' Berryman, Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley and others.

4. Otis's Home Movies ? this will explain what happened to Valerie Green, one of the missing cheerleaders in the photo Wydell staples to Otis's chest.

5. Spaulding TV Commercials ? first is Mary the Monkey Girl as seen in the film, and Spaulding's X-Mas commercial for his Murder Ride Gift certificates.

6. Blooper reel ? highlights of things going wrong on set.

7. A tribute to Matt ? this is a video tribute to our beloved Tiny.

8. Director commentary and actor commentary Sid, Bill and Sheri.

9. Trailers and TV spots

10. And possibly more? we are still working on it.

"Rejects" will be available in both R-rated and unrated versions so pay attention when you buy it.

that movie kicks so much ass

MoviesOnline.com recently conducted an interview with musician/filmmaker Rob Zombie. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

Q: Do you find there has been a lot of resistance to your filmmaking career because of your musical background? I mean, sometimes filmmakers look down their noses at people who have been in other fields who suddenly feel that they can make a movie...

Rob Zombie: "Yeah, I know what you're saying. I think that it was the case definitely with the first film ('House of 1000 Corpses'), and maybe even with the second film ['The Devil's Rejects'] until people actually SAW the second film. But the response to 'Devil's Rejects' has been so positive, that vibe has now gone away. People responded to the creative aspects of 'Rejects' so strongly, that any kind of studio executive or even other filmmakers don't feel that I'm just 'dabbling' in their world."

Q: That's good. It IS an outstanding film. I felt that it was a lot more confident. you know what you want to show, how you want to tell your story.

Rob Zombie: "Yeah, I mean you can equate this stuff to anything else. Hopefully you get better each time you do it. You need the experience of doing it. The first film..it is what it is, the the second film improves on that. And I hope to make the third film far superior to the second one."

Q: A lot of studios these days are releasing remakes, like "The Fog" for example. All these PG-13 rated, watered down for the kids, full-of-these-theme-park-scares kind of films.

Rob Zombie: "My opinion on this is influenced by the fact that I never go see these movies. To me, they're the equivalent of old teen thrillers that should be starring Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. That's what these films seem like to me. They're just not that violent or that vicious or that horrible or that intense. They're horror movies for the Hilary Duff generation. They don't want to be offensive, they just want everybody to be good-looking. The scenes are mostly a loud noise where somebody jumps out. That's not scary, that's startling. Somebody said with 'Devil's Rejects', 'It wasn't scary, I didn't jump once.' What's with equating jumping to being scared? So, I don't see those movies. They don't interest me. They're Disney horror."

Q: Off topic now, I read in a previous interview that you were near the tail end of your music career and wanted to focus on movies. Is there any truth to that?

Rob Zombie: "Well, at that point in time with that interview, I had worked on 'Rejects' nonstop for almost a year, so that was all I could see. I'm actually just finishing up an album that should be out around March, and then I'll probably start another movie. For the moment, I'm still flip flopping between the two.

Q: That's good news.

Rob Zombie: "It's difficult to do both, but I continue to try."

first time the single for thunderkiss 65 came on I knew I wanted to own the album..

I have two White Zombie TAPES. I'm oldschool... ha ha

All the music sounds identical to me though. Can't say I listen very often these days. It was more of a young kid in the early 90s thing.
I hate Rob's solo stuff. But its cool to see he's still kicking around

Rob Zombie recently told Revolver magazine that he has returned to the recording studio to resume work on his new album, tentatively due in March 2006 via Geffen Records. What follows is a brief question-and-answer session with Zombie conducted by Revolver:

Revolver: Before Ozzfest, you worked on songs with LIMP BIZKIT guitarist Wes Borland, Tommy Lee, and A PERFECT CIRCLE drummer Josh Freese. Will that stuff be on the record?

Rob Zombie: "All that stuff is still there, but now I've also jammed with [ex-MARILYN MANSON guitarist] John 5, [my old bassist] Blasko, and Tommy Clufetos, the drummer I had on Ozzfest. We wrote over 25 songs, but when it gets whittled down to 12 songs, we'll see who's left standing."

Revolver: How will this compare to your other albums?

Rob Zombie: "It's not really industrial at all, but there wasn't much of that on the last record either. One of the songs is by far the heaviest song I've ever done, and there are others that are the mellowest I've ever done."

Revolver: It must be hard to switch your brain back and forth between movies and music.

Rob Zombie: "It's been a strange process, but it's also been great. The new guys I'm playing with are so cool and so easy to deal with. I've been doing this for 20 years, and this is the funnest and easiest it's ever been. And because of that, I feel like this will be some of my best stuff ever."

Geffen Records has set a March 28 release date for the new ROB ZOMBIE album, entitled "Educated Horses". The follow-up to 2001's "The Sinister Urge" was recorded at Los Angeles' Chop Shop Studios with co-producer Scott Humphrey and will include 11 tracks ? including an acoustic number called "Death of It All", "Seventeen Year Locusts" and the album's first single, "Foxy, Foxy".

"We were just very inspired this time," Zombie told MTV.com. "It's amazing how different things can be when you work with people who are excited and energetic and just so into it, that they just really inspire you to create things."

ZOMBIE's upcoming tour with LACUNA COIL and BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE will be his first outing since last summer's Ozzfest, where he headlined the second stage with a band that also included former MARILYN MANSON guitarist John 5, drummer Tommy Clufetos and bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson.

"Before Ozzfest, I didn't have any plans to tour again at all. I was sort of sick of it, truthfully. Everything with my last band started to turn ugly and it wasn't that fun," he explained to MTV.com. "With the new band, I just had such a good time that really, as corny as it sounds, it seemed like the old days ? we're having a band, we're playing and it's just fun. Once being in a band turns stressful, you go, 'What the f--- am I doing?' It was really fun, and we came off the tour and started making a record and it just clicked. The record ... we were like, 'These are the best songs ever. It would be stupid not to finish it.' "

ROB ZOMBIE have set the tentative track listing for his new album, entitled "Educated Horses". The follow-up to 2001's "The Sinister Urge" was recorded at Los Angeles' Chop Shop Studios with co-producer Scott Humphrey and will include 11 tracks ? including an acoustic number called "Death of It All", "Seventeen Year Locusts" and the album's first single, "Foxy, Foxy". A March 28 release via Geffen Records is expected.

"Educated Horses" track listing:

01. Sawdust in the Blood
02. American Witch
03. Foxy, Foxy
04. Seventeen Year Locust
05. The Scorpion Sleeps
06. 100 Ways

08. Death of it All
09. Ride
10. The Devil's Rejects
11. Lords of Salem

ROB ZOMBIE will direct the video for his new single, "Foxy, Foxy", in Los Angeles in mid-February. Zombie will re-team with "The Devil's Rejects" cinematographer Phil Parmet. Parmet has also worked on LED ZEPPELIN's  "The Song Remains the Same" and FRANK ZAPPA's "Baby Snakes".

"Foxy, Foxy" ? which will begin play on Modern Rock and Active Rock radio on February 13 ? is the first single from Zombie's new studio album, "Educated Horses", due on March 28 via Geffen Records. The follow-up to 2001's "The Sinister Urge" was recorded at Los Angeles' Chop Shop Studios with co-producer Scott Humphrey, who had previously worked with Rob on the platinum hits "Hellbilly Deluxe" and "The Sinister Urge". Other musicians contributing to the CD include Josh Freese (A PERFECT CIRCLE, VANDALS) and Tommy Lee (M?TLEY CR?E).

ROB ZOMBIE will be the featured musical guest on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Wednesday, March 15.


Launch Radio Networks reports: ROB ZOMBIE is known for his spectacular live shows, but he's scaling things back a bit on his upcoming spring tour. Zombie told Launch that he still wants to give fans their money's worth without taking the focus off the music. "What I want to do is make it a big rock show where the human element of the band never gets lost, because I feel like that's what happened before a little bit," he explained. "It was a huge rock show, but the band was getting lost. This time I want to strike that delicate balance where, you know, you're getting the big show, but not to a point where the band becomes secondary to explosions."

Zombie begins a headlining U.S. tour on March 17 in Jacksonville, Florida, with LACUNA COIL and BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE along as support.

The touring line-up for Zombie's band includes longtime bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson, ex-MARILYN MANSON guitarist John 5 and former ALICE COOPER drummer Tommy Clufetos.

Sweet deal. I'll catch that one. No one makes a better 2 and half so minute kick ass rockin song like Zombie. Should be a great album.. I'll be picking it up when it drops.

Contrary to previously published reports, ROB ZOMBIE will NOT be performing his new single "Foxy Foxy" on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno". Instead, he will be debuting a new song from his upcoming "Educated Horses" album, entitled "The American Witch". "Since you've all heard 'Foxy Foxy' I thought a new song would be cool," Zombie explained.

Did that show air already?

god rob zombies solo albums are absolutly class.

i love industrial and stuff like that and i know everyone loves hellbilly but i love the sinister urge, its a perfect mix of heavy metal and dance and funk.

cant wait to hear educated horses album, the single foxy foxy is great, different sound to his other stuff but i still like it,  john 5 rocks.


as for white zombie, they aint really industrial so i dunno why they get that classification, they are ok but robz vocals annoy me when hes with them.

I don't know about the rest of the album, but Foxy Foxy really sucks.  He either needs to get back with White Zombie or just stick to movies.  What a crappy song.

Foxy,Foxy is prolly my least fav song on the album...American Witch is amazing though

i dont see whats so bad about it, if you compare it to white zombie because you love them then yeah i can see why. but if you look at it from my point of view preffering his stuff over white zombie i think its a great track, its funky and i like his vocals on it.

If you prefer the solo stuff then there's a better shot at you likeing that song.  But I like a decent amount of his solo stuff too, I just thin Foxy is a bad song.  I can't say anything about the rest of the album though since I haven't heard it.

I ADORE both Rob and White Zombie. Brilliant.

The first dates have been released for ROB ZOMBIE's summer tour, featuring ANTHRAX in the support slot. Prior to the "American Witch Across America" trek, which is scheduled to kick off late June, Zombie will play a couple of dates in California and Nevada. The details are as follows:

Zombie is also rumored to be joining GODSMACK on tour as a co-headliner this fall.

Armed with his first album of all-new material in five years, Rob Zombie  will tackle a run on the North American amphitheater circuit this summer, and will bring reunited rockers Anthrax along for the ride.

The metal mavens launch the run at the end of June, and dates are piled up through early August, with more shows expected. Details are shown below.

Backing Zombie on stage will be guitarist John 5, bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson and drummer Tommy Clufetos, a lineup Zombie assembled for last year's Ozzfest tour.

The latest incarnation of Anthrax, meanwhile, features the group's classic lineup--Joey Belladonna (vocals), Frankie Bello (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Scott Ian (bass) and Danny Spitz (guitar)--which reunited last year for their first live performances in 13 years.

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET first reported on April 26, GODSMACK's rumored North American co-headlining tour with ROB ZOMBIE is becoming a reality, with Ticketmater currently listing the trek in their system and on their web site. At this point in time, no dates have been announced, but it is expected that more details will be made available during the next couple of weeks.

In an April 24, 2006 interview with Cutter of the Appleton, Wisconsin radio station Razor 94.7, GODSMACK drummer Shannon Larkin said of the band's upcoming touring plans, "We're going to Canada [in June], then we're gonna hit Alaska, then we're gonna move over to Japan, come back around the world, do Mexico, South America? Unfortunately, it's not gonna be until September that we come to America, but on the positive tip, when we do come to America, it will be our biggest show we've ever brought out, and we have a wonderful, wonderful co-headliner. And guess who it is? I can't tell you. I know, it's such a teaser. I guess the deal's 99 percent done, not a hundred, so? But it's gonna happen. I've talked to the man in question even, so I can say we're bringing a kick-ass show ? two kick-ass bands plus an opening band ? and like I said, we're not sparing any account on the people's expense this time ? it's gonna be full-blown pyro, video, midgets? just kidding, no midgets. [Laughs]"

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET first reported on April 26, GODSMACK have now officially confirmed that they will be teaming up with ROB ZOMBIE for a North American co-headlining tour beginning in late August.

According to MTV.com, GODSMACK drummer Shannon Larkin said this fall tour is the band's way of thanking its fans for being so loyal ? and generous with their dough.

"Debuting at #1 [with GODSMACK's new album, 'IV'] was a testament to our fanbase," he said. "They ran out and bought the album the first week and made us #1, which, you know, we will give back to them this fall when we come back on tour. We'll give back to crowd for going out and buying our record and making us #1. We're bringing the biggest show we've ever brought to America, and we're going to be bringing ROB ZOMBIE out with us. So, it's going to be an amazing thing. Hopefully, we can return the love to our rabid fanbase, and so we have to bring a great show to these people."

In a statement, GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna said that the band's "fans should expect the biggest GODSMACK spectacle yet. This tour will be a virtual, visual, and aural circus. Expect the unexpected when we hit your town." According to a press release, ZOMBIE will be setting the stage during each stop on the tour, turning the venue "into a funhouse of mystery and madness as creatures walk the stage of pyrotechnics, smoke, and mirrors. This is a no-holds barred show so hold on for the ride."

Mike Daniel of The Dallas Morning News recently conducted an interview with Rob Zombie. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

On his co-headlining tour with GODSMACK:

"I think it's a perfect bill, really. It gets harder and harder to do these things, to match up two bands whose fans are similar, but not so similar to where there's too much crossover."

On his new stage show:

"We've got so many things to coordinate: lights, pyrotechnics, dancing girls. We want to make sure no one gets killed, you know?"

On what GODSMACK has planned for their show:

"I kind of didn't want to know, honestly. I want to be surprised as much as the fans do."

On performing at Ozzfest 2005 in Dallas for nearly an hour at the full mercy of the sun as the second-stage headliner on one of last year's hottest days;

"Oh, yeah, I remember that show. It was so hot you start to hallucinate. And it's true; my shoes really were melting! ... Being in the shade this time will help. But to make up for the fact that we won't have the sun, we're planning a bunch of pyrotechnics and other sources of heat."

On his active filmmaking and publishing activities, which include an animated feature film this fall ("The Haunted World of El Superbeasto", featuring the voices of Paul Giamatti and Danny Trejo); his remake of the horror classic "Halloween" (to be shot into 2007 and released late that year); and hosting a new Turner Classic Movies cult-flick showcase, "TCM Underground", which will premiere in October:

"At most it'll be a year break from music. We're already writing songs for the new record, and there'll be a live record that comes out soon ? that'll be a first for me ? and a tour-documentary DVD sometime next year.

"I'm not planning on slowing down at all. It's just not in my nature."

Launch Radio Networks reports: ROB ZOMBIE and GODSMACK kick off their co-headlining tour tonight (Friday, August 25) in Dallas, Texas, with the tour slated to run through October 1 in Concord, California. While Zombie kept his stage show to a minimum on his last two U.S. treks, the singer told Launch that he's pulling out all the stops on this one. "The GODSMACK tour is me getting back to doing completely insane, retarded production. It'll be sick. Huge. Gigantic. I wanna do the biggest thing I've ever done, basically."

Does anyone know how many copies Educates Horses has sold thus far? I'd really like to know.

I love his songs, I love his movies and his wife too lol? :hihi:, "American Witch":

Cool, that witch was sexy :hihi: , thanks for posting

Rob Zombie is putting together a WHITE ZOMBIE box set containing "everything we ever recorded," according to the singer. "I am currently transferring all the early shit from the original tapes," he said. "No remixing going on here ? everything will be as it was originally recorded. Don't know when this box set will be available, but it is slowly moving forward. This will be the final word on WHITE ZOMBIE."

Zombie recently mixed a new ROB ZOMBIE live album with producer Scott Humphrey for a tentative early 2007 release.

Rob Zombie's remake of the classic horror film "Halloween" is scheduled to hit theatres in August 2007. Shooting is scheduled to begin this month.

According to a posting on the Sheri Moon Zombie (Rob Zombie's wife and star of Rob's movies) fan site Sheri Moon Zombie Net, Rob Zombie will officially start filming his upcoming remake of the 1978 horror classic "Halloween" tomorrow (Monday, January 29) at sunrise. "Rob has been rehearsing with the actors all week, and says this movie is going to kick total ass come August 31st, which is still the official release date for 'Halloween' as of right now," says the web site.

Rumors spread across the web earlier in the month that Rob Zombie was going to rewrite the script for "Halloween" after a negative review of a leaked draft of the screenplay surfaced on movie news site Ain't It Cool News. Just days after that review appeared, Fangoria.com published an opposing piece praising the script.

The Ain't It Cool reviewer was disappointed in Zombie's attempt to flesh out and add a human dimension to the character of serial killer Michael Myers, who is released from an asylum years after slaughtering his sister and begins a new killing spree. Zombie himself told Launch earlier this year that he wanted to further explore the masked murderer's motivations. "The biggest difference is I wanna make Michael Myers two things," he said. "I wanna make him a lead character who you sort of know about, 'cause I think that's what it'll take to make that character then again truly terrifying. So in order, in my mind, to pump the life back into him, to make that figure terrifying when he appears onscreen, is you need to know what is happening in his brain."

Zombie posted an apparent response to the Aint It Cool review at the "Halloween" MySpace page, writing in part, "I notice that so many people get crazy when someone you don't even know posts an opinion about what they think "Halloween" will or won't be. This is crazy."

Zombie's version of the 1978 horror classic is his third feature film as a director after 2003's "House of 1000 Corpses" and 2005's "The Devil's Rejects".

Zombie is also working on a boxed set for his previous band, WHITE ZOMBIE, as well as a solo live album.

Rob Zombie's first-ever live album is scheduled for release on September 18 via Geffen. The CD was recorded over several nights during the band's "Educated Horses" tour and will include a 36-page super-deluxe book of never-before-seen live pictures and a DVD of live footage and animated videos. It was mixed by Zombie and producer Scott Humphrey. The track listing is as follows:

01. Sawdust in the Blood
02. American Witch
03. Demon Speeding
04. Living Dead Girl
05. More Human than Human
06. Dead Girl Superstar
07. House of 1000 Corpses
08. Let It All Bleed Out
09. Creature of the Wheel
10. Demoniod Phenomenon
11. Supercharger Heaven
12. Never Gonna Stop
13. Black Sunshine
14. Superbeast
15. The Devil's Rejects
16. Lords of Salem
17. Thunder Kiss
18. Dragula

As previously reported, Zombie is putting together a WHITE ZOMBIE box set containing "everything we ever recorded," according to the singer. "I am currently transferring all the early shit from the original tapes," he previously said. "No remixing going on here ? everything will be as it was originally recorded. Don't know when this box set will be available, but it is slowly moving forward. This will be the final word on WHITE ZOMBIE."

Zombie's remake of the classic horror film "Halloween" is scheduled to hit theatres on August 31. His previous credits as a screenwriter and director are 2003's "House of 1000 Corpses" and 2005's "The Devil's Rejects".

Excellent! John 5 does a badass fucking version of "Demon Speeding." It went from one of my less favorite tracks off The Sinister Urge to being just a killer live track and this is something I'm really looking forward to. Long live the Zombie :peace:

The Pulse of Radio (formerly Launch Radio Networks) reports: Now that Rob Zombie has completed work on his third film as a writer and director, a remake of the horror classic "Halloween", the rocker-turned-filmmaker is setting his sights on the road. Zombie told The Pulse of Radio that he'll go on tour in October and stay out for a couple of months before turning to his next project. "Me and the guys have been talking, and we're, like, you know, gonna start rehearsing soon and, you know, we'll be back on the road in October," he said. "We'll probably quit right around Christmas time, take a break for that, and then who knows what ? maybe make a new record or start another movie or something, I don't know."

Zombie says he'll hit the road with at least one other major act (rumored to be OZZY OSBOURNE), whose name he couldn't reveal. Dates and venues are also yet to be announced.

Huge White Zombie fan since I was about ten years old. Rob's solo stuff is very hit or miss with me tho. Real happy with the track list here tho from what I know. Those are 5 GREAT WZ songs, especially excited for Black Sunshine. Those are alot of his solo songs I like too, except I never heard demonoid Phenomenon or demon speeding.

Rob Zombie confirmed in an interview with the Los Angeles TV station KTLA this morning (Thursday, August 23) that he will hit the road in October as the support act for OZZY OSBOURNE. According to Zombie, the trek is expected to run through December. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.

The singer was originally in the running to open some fall dates for BLACK SABBATH offshoot band HEAVEN AND HELL, but couldn't commit to that because it was too close to the opening of his remake of the horror classic "Halloween".

Thats an awesome package...I hope they come to Toronto

i really dig white zombie.

obviously the heavy riffs are great, but i love the use of horror movie samples to give this sense of insanity to the songs.

Happy Halloween : ok:

Rob Zombie has issued the following update;

"Well, yesterday I started work on my next full-length studio album. We wrote a ton of stuff on the last tour and are finally putting it down. I don't have a release date yet. I'll keep you all posted as things progress. That's it."

Rob Zombie called the record labels "dinosaurs waiting to die" in an interview in the March issue of Metal Edge magazine. Zombie said that the labels "all have a defeatist attitude. And that's why in another couple of years, they won't exist...They're just overpaid and lazy, and it's all crumbled around them. But the art is not going anywhere. You go out there, and there's more tours than ever, the shows are bigger than ever, the crowds are crazier than ever, the fans are younger than ever; there's no lack of demand for the music or the bands or anything. It's just that the record labels are these overstuffed, overpaid dinosaurs. They're gonna die. The music's not going anywhere."

Zombie said in a recent conference call that he's not sure what future music distribution will look like. "There's got to be something else you can do because CDs, we know that's done," he said. "That's just done. And a download is just not that exciting. There's something missing when you ? you can't walk up to someone and go, 'Oh, can you autograph my download?' There's got to be something else that can then happen. I just don't know. I mean, we're certainly trying to figure out what it is, because I want to figure out something special for the next musical release, whatever it will be."

Zombie, who is also a feature film director, also told Metal Edge, "The problem with the record industry is that they've tried to emulate the film business. The film business is very much about the opening weekend...But with a record, it used to be that you'd work it." He added that with his recent concert CD, "Zombie Live", "They put it out there, they put, like, five minutes of work into it, and they're, like, 'We're done'...They say 'No one buys CDs,'so they don't bother to sell them."

Zombie recently confirmed last week that his next live-action feature film will be called "Tyrannosaurus Rex". Reportedly a biker flick and not about dinosaurs, the film is set for release on August 28, 2009. It will follow his hit 2007 remake of the horror classic "Halloween" and his upcoming animated film, "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto".

ive really come to love White Zombie.

especially Astro Creep, that albums just amazing due to the mix of heavy ass riffs with john tempestas awesome dance drumming.

I cant wait to get this box set robs releasing of loads of white zombie stuff remastered!

i hope its not too expensive...

Astro Creep 2000 was a great CD. I wore that out back in the day ( mid 1990's)

I've seen Rob solo a Few Times, Once with Korn back in the day, and twice as a solo Headliner. He gives a hell of a live performance, if you like his music you have to catch a show, the experience of his music and him live is awesome.

Rob Zombie has selected the song "What?" as the first single from his fourth solo album, "Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool". The track heads to rock radio this week. Meanwhile, Zombie hinted in an online post that his new CD ? which is due on November 17 via Geffen ? could be his last, saying, "Well, pretty soon the CD will be dead. All you will have left is digital downloads. So before we say goodbye to the almighty CD, I thought I would give it a big send-off. I love being able to get great artists involved on my CD artwork and this time is the best yet. Since this may be the last true CD I make, I thought I would gather three of the top artists around to contribute some killer new Zombie art for the booklet."

The artists contributing work to the CD's booklet are Nocturnals comic book creator Dan Brereton, animation and storyboard artist David Hartman and Italian artist Alex Horley, who has worked for Image Comics and DC Comics.

"Hellbilly Deluxe 2" track listing:

01. Jesus Frankenstein
02. Sick Bubble-Gun
03. What?
04. Mars Needs Women
05. Werewolf, Baby
06. Virgin Witch
07. Dream Factory
08. Burn
09. Cease to Exist
10. Werewolf Women of the SS
11. The Man Who Laughs

Check out the cover artwork below.

Rob Zombie will kick off his upcoming North American tour on October 29 in Phoenix, Arizona, according to a press release. he will hit the road with the same band that toured behind his 2006 CD, "Educated Horses", consisting of guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D. and drummer Tommy Clufetos. Although Zombie is also busy these days directing movies, he told The Pulse of Radio he can always count on his current bandmates to return. "Whenever I'm making a movie they go off and do whatever they want, but they're all part of this band," he said. "We just did all of our photos for the tour and stuff. It's the same band, it's just that I know those guys get itchy to play."

Support on the tour will come from NEKROMANTIX and CAPTAIN CLEGG & THE NIGHT CREATURES. The latter band appeared in Zombie's latest film, "Halloween II".

The trek will include a very special Halloween event on October 31 in Hollywood, California hosted by Uncle Seymour Coffins, also seen in "Halloween II".

The "Hellbilly Deluxe 2" tour will mark Zombie's return to the road after moderate box office success as the writer and director of "Halloween II" (Dimension). His R-rated, animated feature, "The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto", was made available everywhere on DVD and Blu-ray September 22.

Zombie will return to the stage on October 18, when he co-headlines Loud Park festival in Japan with SLAYER that will also feature PAPA ROACH.

"Halloween II", the follow-up to Zombie's successful 2007 remake of the original 1978 horror classic, came in at No. 3 in its opening weekend, earning $17 million at the box office. That's far less than the $31 million his first "Halloween" flick did two years ago.

Zombie's next film will be a remake of "The Blob", which he is slated to begin shooting in the spring of 2010.

What? is the album's first single and has been released to radio stations. I have it, it's got that heavy hook and riff to it. John5 did a great job and reviving the life of old Zombie sound. Don't take this as me disliking Educated Horses because that is not the case, I fucking love that album.

Also,

Another new track Sick Bubble-Gum has been released to a website for onle streaming. Heavy shit that one is. It's my favorite thus far.

I especially can't wait to hear this. Alongside the Skinny Puppy album slated for release at the end of this month, HB2 is the only other album I'm looking forward to getting before the end of 2009.

I am also additionally stoked to listen to Werewolf Women of the SS.

Rob Zombie's fourth solo studio album, "Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool", has been pushed back to " an undetermined 2010 date" from the previously announced November 17 (via Geffen Records). No reason was given for the delay.

"Hellbilly Deluxe" was the name of Zombie's first and most successful solo outing, issued back in 1998.

"The plan was always to make this kind of like the sequel to 'Hellbilly Deluxe', but I didn't want to force it," Zombie recently told AOL's Noisecreep. "I always figure records dictate their own journey. You might say, 'Oh, we're going to write the heaviest thing ever.' But you get in there and, you know, you might write things that aren't heavy that are great, so you kind of go with it. But this one seems like a great follow-up to that record."

"The record's really varied, just like the first one," Zombie says of the new CD. "There are huge, epic songs with 100-piece orchestras. And then there's something like 'What,' which is just the four of us in a garage literally playing live together and making a big noise."

Prior to the decision to move the release date back to 2010, "Hellbilly Deluxe 2" was supposed to contain the following track listing:

01. Jesus Frankenstein
02. Sick Bubblegum
03. What?
04. Mars Needs Women
05. Werewolf, Baby!
06. Virgin Witch
07. Death and Destiny Inside The Dream Factory
08. Burn
09. Cease to Exist
10. Werewolf Women of the SS
11. The Man Who Laughs

"Sick Bubblegum" and "What?" are available for streaming at YouTube

Rob Zombie will kick off his upcoming North American tour on October 29 in Phoenix, Arizona, according to a press release. He will hit the road with the same band that toured behind his 2006 CD, "Educated Horses", consisting of guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D. and drummer Tommy Clufetos.

It's the same band, it's just that I know those guys get itchy to play."

I LOVE HELLBILLY DELUXE. I have to play the shit out of it every Halloween, this year is no exception. Its one of my favorite things. How fucking cool this news is!

I'm goin to see him the day before halloween....he's playin on halloween in LA I beleive.

I am jealous. I would love to see Zombie in LA. Just wish it wasn't Halloween night (I am a family man and gots to go trick or treating, and pass out candy), even though I know it is an awesome thing to do on Samhein.

I am really really wanting Hellbilly Deluxe 2. The new song on youtube and shit is fucking great in my opinion. I can't believe this album won't be out for Halloween. I am actually hoping it will leak or something so I can have it and play it on Halloween. Rob will get my money regardless as I will for sure buy the album. I really love the fucking first Hellbilly. Its Zombie's best album, with only Astro Creep coming close. I can see why people might prefer Astro Creep but, Hellbilly just feels like Halloween, which is far and away the greatest Holiday by a fucking lightyear.

Im probably going to see him in Louisville : ok:

Lucky bastard. Rob puts on great shows. Robots Aliens, tripped out colors and film scenes playing, effects galore. Very immersive show. I love him live.

Rob Zombie Tour Goes On Despite "Hellbilly 2' Album Delay

Rob Zombie decided to push back the release date of his "Hellbilly Deluxe 2" album because "everything was turning into a chaotic mess."

Zombie's fourth solo studio album -- and the sequel to his 1998 solo debut -- was originally slated to come out on Nov. 17. But he told Billboard.com during a conference call for his upcoming concert tour that he felt "the basic structure of releasing a record" was not adequately in place for the project.

"Basically the label (Geffen) wasn't really in a position to promote it or deal with it," Zombie explained. "It was basically everything, from getting advance copies to the press to...There wasn't even time to make a video (for the first single, 'What?') and we were leaving for the tour. There was the sense that every little thing about the record was rushed -- not the music, 'cause that was done for a long time, and that was the thing that was so annoying. We spent so much time crafting the record, we didn't want it to be something that was so chaotic that it became, 'Oh, that's done and gone' two weeks later."

Zombie has not set a new release date for the album but promised the announcement would come soon, possibly even this week.

Meanwhile, he and his band are still gearing up for the tour, which kicks off Thursday in Phoenix. He said fans can expect a return to the lavish stage production he'd abandoned in supporting 2006's "Educated Horses."

"It's pretty awesome," Zombie noted. "I have the stage set from the first 'Hellbilly' tour in storage; I toyed with the idea of pulling it out...and using the actual set. But it felt so tired and contrived to do that. It seemed fake. So we've sort of gone back and created what seems like the new version of that...the modernized update of that. There have been some incredible advancements in digital technology. It's pretty high-tech stage show going on. The stage feels very fresh, very modern, very high-tech. It has the spirit of that first show."

Zombie is also planning an "extra special" version of the show for his Halloween night performance at the Palladium in Los Angeles, re-creating the concert scene from his latest film, "Halloween 2," complete with a performance by Capt. Clegg & the Night Creatures and more pyrotechnics than he'll be using during other stops on the tour.

"I hate the idea of going to a concert on Halloween and they don't really make it a Halloween event," Zombie says. "We went to great lengths...It's the concert but also a giant Halloween party."

Zombie will be including some "Hellbilly Deluxe 2" songs -- including "What?" and "Werewolf Women of the S.S." -- in his concerts, even before the album is released, and he plans to be on the road until the fall of 2010. He has more movie work in his crosshairs, too: he just completed work on a director's cut of "Halloween 2" that should be out on DVD in time for the holidays; a rumored remake of "The Blob" is likely but unscheduled: and another film is lined up that will take him out of the horror and gore realm. "If (that's) the next movie," Zombie said, "people will be shocked."

In a sudden and unexpected move, multi-platinum hard rock artist Rob Zombie has inked has a new worldwide deal with leading rock label Roadrunner Records through its Loud & Proud imprint.

This shocking announcement comes as Zombie exits his former label and of eighteen years, where he sold fifteen million records as a solo artist and with his former band WHITE ZOMBIE. Zombie's new album, "Hellbilly Deluxe 2", previously set for release on 11/17 will now be released by Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records in early 2010.

"It certainly wasn't an easy decision to make after all this time, but it had to be done," states Zombie. "I love this new record and wanted to surround myself with an excited new group of people who can reignite my enthusiasm for working within a hard rock record label. Roadrunner seems to be the perfect place."

"Roadrunner is thrilled to be involved with Rob Zombie on a worldwide basis as he is a multiple-threat artist whom we've admired for many years," said Roadrunner president Jonas Nachsin.

Tom Lipsky, founder and president of Loud & Proud echoed Nachsin's sentiment, "Rob Zombie hits hard on 'Hellbilly Deluxe 2' and the fans expect nothing less. We are excited about the monster mayhem that he is certain to create!"

The first single from the new album, "What?", recently launched at all rock radio formats and is quickly climbing the charts. This latest album marks the follow-up to 1998's triple platinum "Hellbilly Deluxe".

The track listing is as follows:

01. Jesus Frankenstein
02. Sick Bubblegum
03. What?
04. Mars Needs Women
05. Werewolf, Baby!
06. Virgin Witch
07. Death and Destiny Inside The Dream Factory
08. Burn
09. Cease to Exist
10. Werewolf Women of the SS
11. The Man Who Laughs

Zombie hinted in an online post that his new CD could be his last, saying, "Well, pretty soon the CD will be dead. All you will have left is digital downloads.

Went to see Rob Zombie at Brixton acad, London UK last night - GREAT show!  Made brilliant use of all sorts of crazy props, robots, ghouls, shitloads of screens with typical old school horror footage (very well put together), smoke n' fire...  John 5 on guitar, and joey jordison on drums were great. I loved the stage show and the sound was excellent.  Rob interacted really well with the audience, his first gig here for 12 years I think - he outdid himself.  I last saw White Zombie in 95 (at a festival in day light - so not really the best "atmos" but they still rocked the fk out), so it was great to hear a couple of WZ tracks too
set list:

Jesus Frankenstein
Superbeast
Scum of the Earth
Living Dead Girl
More Human Than Human (white zombie
Drum Solo
Sick Bubble-Gum
Demon Speeding
Mars Needs Women
Pussy Liquor
Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy)
Thunder Kiss '65 (white zombie) with Sweet dreams teaser from John 5
