My 15 year old daughter is at a Rob Zombie concert tonight. I admit to being ignorant of anything about him or his music. Mr B is much more in tune (pun intended) to the music my kids listen to and is only worried about her being at the concert venue, not at the concert. I half-jokingly asked her if he is a 'slash your mama' artist and was assured that he's relatively tame.
Just the same, I'm wondering if I should sleep with one eye open tonight. Any thoughts on this guy?
Nah.
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep little J_B.
I think he's spooky in the way my mom thought Alice Cooper was spooky.
Essentially he is a business man and entertainer and as such his job is to make moms worry.
Thanks, boomer.
She had a great time and I was so tired I went to sleep before she got home. My first thought this morning was to wonder if she'd gotten home (yes, per Mr B) and my second was that we all survived it just fine :wink:
I went to one of his concerts about 3 years ago.
His shows are REALLY shows.
Not like most of the music you hear.
He has a bunch of robots come out on stage and do some pretty neat stuff.
No ' slash your mamma, beat up the ho's " type of lyrics or attitude with him.
Go on to sleep, and be glad its only Zombie. ;-)
Let me break it down for you: Rob Zombie is nothing more than a hick in a scary costume, with nothing more than halfway decent music. That's it.
If you listne to his interviews, he's pretty intelligent. I've never heard his music however, so I suppose I am unbiased, and not well learned on the subject of good ol Rob
He's a pretty good slasher-film director, also. He directed "House of a Thousand Corpses," and "The Devil's Rejects." If you like slasher-films, you'll love these movies.

Just because I said he was a hick doesn't mean that I called him stupid. I know he's pretty smart, but that doesn't change the fact that his latest song sucks.
I like White Zombie a lot more than his solo stuff.
When I first heard the first WZ album, I though, "It's cool, kinda avarage."
But then when I saw them in concert, touring for their first album, I was blown away. They really made the music come alive live. It was hard and heavy, and also had a danceable groove. The whole place was roiling. I went back and reheard La Sexorcisto from an entirely new perspective. It rocked.
Stumble It!
