Baba booey everyone! What other topics do you want me to cover?
Baba booey, Baba booey, Baba booey! What about GOB?
Oh! Or DOA?
More Manson both Charles and Marilyn
do something about the band Lordi
15:40 Oh shit dude. That flashback to Metallica and that covers album "Garage Inc" just aggravated my PTSD. Totally forgot about that. I hated that CD. This is how out of touch Lars and the boys are from their fans.
Metallica announced a short tour for that covers album. They promised to book only small intimate shows booked at venues with a 5k max capacity. So I got an idea to try and get tickets at this grocery store chain called "Dominick's" in Chicago where I grew up. They used to have a ticket master at their service desk. It was at the Aragon Ballroom on a weekday night, so small venue, no traffic, just perfect conditions man all round. I took my best friend Tom with me.
So we get there like maybe 30 minutes early and we hear "Master of Puppets" playing as we're walking in. "We're like they started early? That's weird..." It took us about 10 minutes to realize that the band on stage playing all of Metallic's classics, wasn't Metallica. We're like WTF is going on here? This dude tella us, yeah so I guess Metallica is just going be playing Thin Lizzy covers from the new record and Lars thought it would be a good idea to have a Metallica cover band named "Creeping Death" open for them so the "fans" could hear the classics while the band gets on stage and only plays songs we never heard or don't like and don't want to hear. Mind you no one annouced this beforehand.
My jaw was on the floor. We we DUMBFOUNDED. To top it all off once Metallica did start playing we quickly realized that the venue was dangerously oversold. We were lucky no one died that night. It was so bad you could't put your arms down at your side and we were just slowly being crushed throughout. We were so dejected man we left halfway through and just wanted to get the hall out of there. When the Napster stuff happened it totally made sense. Lars is so out of touch with regular fans he thinks we want to pay $75 to come to watch a Metallica covers band. I'll never forgive him for that.
My favorite parts of any Rob Zombie song is when he sang "YEEEAAAHHH"
I once counted how many times he said "yeah" in "more human than human"... and I forget the actual number, but it's WAY more than one would think! Lol! Sik
@@sik7476 Now, count how many times Robert Plant says “BABY” as an ad lib, through their entire discography.
@bulkvanderhuge9006 🤣🤣
@bulkvanderhuge9006 I think he probably hits the 200 mark in a couple of songs alone! 😆😆 Sik
@@sik7476 LOL, definitely!
I always liked white zombie more than rob zombies solo stuff
Me too
100%
La sexorcisto is epic
I always liked both since it’s kinda petty and weird to not like one yet like the other
@mattmiller4821 you ain't kidding!!! I saw them on your for that and I saw Rob solo in 1999. The stage show was a lot more extravagant but I liked the vibe at the White Zombie show more
This channel is so much better with audio clips of the actual bands/artists being featured.
Agreed
@@rnrtruestories and it was probably the best channel already in its genre 😉
"Alright great session guys, Ive gotta head to jail now!" - Tommy Lee
White Zombie was absolutely iconic.
His solo stuff was just ok.
First couple albums were Fun! Anything after not so much..
💯
Yep. Ran out of inspiration
Exactly. How many songs about Frankenstein and skeletons can you make.
I thought HD was outstanding. I was amazed at how dull he got after that.
White Zombie was Heavy Metal with a little sampling. Rob Zombie is Sampling with a little instrumentation.
Rob Zombie is just Hot Topic Macho Man Randy Savage.
I don't want to hear Randy Savage sing, though
That is rather exactly a perfect analogy...
@@garysuarez9614It's also a 10 year old meme...
I never thought of it like that that is a good one I like that a hot topic version of macho Man Randy Savage that is awesome😅😂❤❤
White Zombie>Rob Zombie all day. I got a speeding ticket on the highway two years back as i was doing 85mph in a 60mph zone. It was a Sunday morning out in the boonies and no one was out there except me. I came to the top of a hill and a bike cop was sitting about 1/3rd of a mile down the road from me with one of those scopes they use to catch speeders. He turned his red and blues on so I started to slow down and pulled over about 30 feet in front of him. I already had my insurance, license and registration in my hand when he walked up to the car. i put the window down and i was listening to "Super Charger Heaven", though i had turned the volume down. He poked his head in my car thru the passenger window (no doubt smelling for weed and/or booze. I mean, it's his job, afterall) and he said "Hey! I can see how you got going so fast out here in the middle of nowhere listening to THAT!" and we laughed for a second. he was really cool. he was like, "well, i clocked you 25 over but i know how easy it is to drive that fast on an open road but I also do not want to reapond to an accident where you were driving at that speed.." and i said "i understand, sir." he handed me my ticket and said "here, i knocked it down to 66mph for you so your insurance shouldnt go up any." It was a cool situation considering the issue. If you made it this far, thank you for reading my new autobiography. 😎
Had a similar issue on my honda 929rr, 180mph on a 45mph.
Trying to catch up to the main group of riders. We got talking, he drag raced bikes.
He asked if I could keep it to 60mph, I said I could do that.
He said he had other cops on the route. I said thx and no ticket.
My first concert when I was 17 was August of 1996 at the Minneapolis Target Center. Pantera/White Zombie with opening bands Eye Hate God and Deftones. It was insanely awesome!
That's pretty epic! My first big show was the first Lollapalooza 91.
When you don't respect your bandmates and people they tend not to like you.
MY DRAGULAAA!!
This happens to every singer that leaves their band at the height of their fame, but eventually their solo stuff dies out.
Quick Correction: “Whiskey in the Jar” was “written”by The Dubliners and released in 1967. Thin Lizzy Covered it in 1972. Basically it’s an old folk song that had a melody added to it and reshaped to make a song out of it. That’s what “written” means.
But to be fair, the song is actually a folk song called “The highwayman and the captain”.
Whiskey in the jar was not written by the Dubliners. It’s an old folk song
Astro Creep 2000 is one of the best metal albums ever made IMO. Hillbilly Deluxe is right up there with it, to me. I don't think Rob will ever make another album as good as either of those. Not that I don't like his more recent work, but those 2 albums are just ...masterpieces.
Lasexorcisto will always be my favorite
Sinister urge is up there to
@@Thoughtsforwordspodcast You're not wrong. He has a TON of GREAT music.
White Zombie was better to me. Twas raw, unique.... When he split, turned super cringe to me. It was too much peanut butter, with strawberry jelly available, but not used, type shit.
Hillbilly deluxe suck the ass It was just a remix of all the songs off of Astro creep 2000.
You should check out the older white zombie from like the late '80s. In the '90s I was a big Pantera White zombie fan.
White Zombie was always better than Rob Zombie.
The music was very different though. More groove and feeling in WZ, I think.
I liked them both. I got to see Rob Zombie in concert, which was awesome.
@@jdnealious3124he never ever disappoints live!!
🤘🏴☠️🤘
No it wasn't. They had 2 decent songs
Never let someone in your band name themselves after the band.
He created the band
Cummings?
His music and movies have always been hit or miss for me but I've always loved his visual style. He definitely has an artists eye and does retro gothic with a modern lens like no other.
I enjoy even his crappy films, if you're a fan of b movies it makes sense.
The movies are alllllllllll garbage
@@andronomisneltron3231So bad it’s good
I saw Rob Zombie on that tour for Hellbilly Deluxe with Monster Magnet. It was the loudest concert till this day I have ever experienced, but It was so awesome, it feels like a dream now.
I worked stage crew for Korn & Rob Zombie in 1999. The loudest concert I've ever heard (BY FAR!!!) was WHITE ZOMBIE in 1995! Front Row, center stage. (And I've been to about 80 national acts and festivals (most of which I was front and center). I lost my hearing during White Zombie's encore's (specifically during the song "Blur The Technicolor" and it took 3 days to return. I was scared that it wouldn't.
i will never get over soul crusher. that song still raises my blood pressure. it's so fun to play on drum.
Yeah it is a great album. Kurdt Kobain loved that album.
Most jobs aren't fun, If you appreciate the fans and blessing you have being in a band for your job I would hope you would stick with it. Devils music vol.1 In my opinion is still one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Still gets heavy rotation in my car
@@stuartmorley6894 big facts. BIIG facts! My old punk band hauled our stuff in a big old Suburban that our roadie/sound guy bought from a police auction. We started the thing with a screwdriver 😂. We only broke the band up because we all left for college in different states. I only worked as a solo artist after that, however. being in a band that works well together is still hard. you absolutely must be good at making compromises to play songs you personally dislike if the other guys like it. And that's just one example. When it came to meeting girls, even harder lol
I loved how Dimebag used to terrorize and play pranks Rob to the brink of insanity 😂. On the PANTERA/White Zombie tour 1996
I love White Zombie, broke my heart when they broke up. La Sexorcisto is one of my all time favs, and God of Thunder EP too. Nobody ever talks about their albums before La Sexorcisto. I'm not a fan of Rob Zombie solo material at all but I'm obviously the odd man out on this.
Most peeps even back then didn't know it existed, pre internet nobody knew shit unless someone told them
@@therealnynetynyne360😆
Make them die slowly is one my favorite metal albums , god of thunder EP is killer too
I remember sitting in a greenhouse at my job after I got out of the coast guard on a rainy day listening to Hellbilly Deluxe not long after it came out. Ah, memories....
Having a band with an ex girlfriend won’t last long
White zombie made music with theatrics. Rob zombie makes theatrics with music.
White Zombie is infinitely superior to anything Rob Zombie has done solo.
I remember White Zombie being on the bill of just about every other metal show in Philly in the 90's - it was glorious.
I bought hellbilly like the first day it came out . Played it for my friend and he said “well that album isn’t going anywhere “…. Few months pass it’s one of the biggest albums of the year . I love when stuff like that happens.
Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good lol
Hillbilly deluxe sucked All it was was a bunch of remixes of White zombies past two albums.
White Zombie, Alice cooper group, Mercyful fate, wasp, crazy world of Arthur brown. The thing that all those shock rock groups have in common is that the frontman gradually takes over and either becomes a solo artist or it becomes a solo band
Arthur Brown had several other non-solo bands tho.
How could you leave Marilyn Manson out of that list? 😂
@ bc I don’t like his music lol
Their main influence was the kinks.If you had done your research about this band you say you love so much
@jessj.j.french7482 wow... Never did me say anything about their "influences" He was referring to other "shock rock" type acts, and their front men. If you had used your critical thinking/reading skills, instead of getting butt hurt just bc someone wasn't praising your silly idol like you do, then maybe you'd have understood that he wasn't even actually criticizing him . .. No wonder this world is being over run by idiots 🤦🏼♂️
J Yuenger carried Rob.. without his riffs Robs just a visual artist.
Rob I'm from Massachusetts I've seen Rob zombie White zombie a million times he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet
White Zombie was Iconic. Thank you
Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia
I never saw white zombie perform live unfortunately, but i saw rob 4 times. Always a fun show and great performance. I always loved his stage show.
Own the White Zombie Anthology, but only ever took in Bob Zombie singles from soundtracks, but WZ's sci-fi/horror themes were just always more fun for me!!
Was lucky enough to see them just after the Black Sabbath tribute album was released. One of the best shows I’ve seen. Didn’t hurt that The Ramones opened.
Regardless of how it felt for those involved, white zombie was 100Xs better than his solo shit. Yeah, i said it 🖕🏻
I liked White Zombie sound alot more than Rob Zombie.
His "yeaaah" is as annoying as it gets.
His songs were on the radio probably as much as Chili Peppers in late 90's/early 2000's.
Hate to pile on, but yeah White Zombie was waaaaay better than Rob Zombie's solo stuff.
White and Rob changed my views on metal. No longer was it the clean vocals and power guitars of Ozzy but the rusty nail voice of Rob and the guitars that sounded like they were about to explode literally any second. What a legend.
White Zombie > Rob Zombie. No question!
Let's face it, anyone who's seen Rob live can tell you, you don't go see Rob for his technical abilities as a musician. You go for the spectacle. I've also said it before for this channel and I'll say it again, white zombie doesn't need Rob to do a reunion and TAKE MY MONEY!
Last thing I EVER heard from Rob Zombie was Astro Creep 2000.
Breaking up White Zombie was the dumbest thing he could have ever done!
He was quite successful after that
@@bftvclips8925 And breaking up with the band opened him to many diverse projects. Boycotting a solo album is also bafflingly immature.
Awesome video! 🤘👹🤘
Thanks!!
Charlie Clouser's remix of "More Human Than Human" off of Super Sexy Swingin' Sounds is incredible. That's such an underrated album.
El Phantasmo and the chicken remix off of that one was my favorite song to spar to.
*ThePlayStation* Funded Album For "Twisted-Metal III".
La Sexorcisto is a classic and the best album Rob ever made.
I remember buying Helllbilly Deluxe at Walmart when it came out, then having to go to Oncue to buy the unedited version. It was a great album, but it was a one off in a world of better bands coming up.
Favorite Metal Band growing up
They came through my drive-thru when I worked at a Jack in the Box in Houston in 1993. Sean offered to put me on the list for the show that night, but I had no way to get there so I declined.
Hellbilly Deluxe is such a well crafted album. Just under 40 minutes, no excess fat, nothing but bangers all the way through.
White Zombie were amazing one of my fav bands of all time, Rob, well Rob is just cringe!
I feel like the White Zombie remix album "Super Sexy Swinging Sounds" proved the appetite for electronic metal was there and Rob decided to personally capitalize on it.
Edit: spelling
White Zombie was far superior over Zombies solo band.i mean the first album was good but that’s it
The Solo act Never appealed to me ….White Zombie does…La Sexorcisto 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Hellbilly Deluxe had 5 good songs on it with the rest being trash/filler. White Zombie was so much better.
Wrong on every level.
@@firemarshal2629 You are full of it. White Zombie was ALOT better than RZ solo crap. You must like electronica, which just proves you dont know shit, fool.
@@firemarshal2629yeah they were all trash lol
@@firemarshal2629😆😂
Nah OP; I agree, 100%! LaSexorsisto was really good imo. I had an underground CD back in the day as well. That track on B&B, I Am Hell was good too.
I could have superglued shut the CD tray of La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1 into my CD player, and been happy for years. That album and Black Sabbath's Master of Reality are my two favorite metal albums of all time.
White Zombie is the one band I wish never broke up
He sounds terrible live, but a least he puts on a good show. Astro Creep 2000 is still a great album
I disagree but such is music. I saw him while he was arguing with Johnny 5 a bit ago. It was painful. Worse than the first time I saw him and gave him a pass for not being able to sing and the band seemingly unsure of what was gonna happen next.
The pre-Geffen White Zombie stuff is nasty. Love those early albums.
I'd trade Educated Horses for a "3rd" White Zombie album!
I preferred White Zombie, I thought Hellbilly Deluxe was good, but I wish his solo stuff would've just been a side project.
I would've loved to see what WZ would've created after Astro Creep.
I think Rob's solo stuff would've been better as a side project. He could've let his better solo ideas build up while continuing WZ, so maybe he'd release an occasional awesome solo album rather than a bunch of mediocre solo albums.
Hillbilly Deluxe was good, I think, because it was probably being formed in Rob's mind for years.
Let’s not forget Rob Zombie called the cops on kids at a skate park because they were being too loud. True story.
Very metal
Haha I guess everyone gets older in their senior years
@ right, I know I’m not as heavy metal as I used to be. I’m more like easy, listening than jazz.
I heard that he would also lose his ish if the green room didn't have a bowl of GREEN-ONLY M&Ms. There's an article about it you could probably find if you googled "rob zombie m&Ms". he is absolutely a self entitled poser. I'll love White Zombie forever, though.
Idk what his motivation was but I have heard that the m&m thing is an old industry hack to make certain that the promoters actually read the entire rider....so that the artist can be assured for certain that all safety requirements backstage etc would have been met...t@@ghost_to_a_ghost
Shout out to the ONLY CHANNEL ON TH-cam OR ANYWHERE that counts .....real facts with teal live and passion for Rock n Roll and not one video about todays dog 💩 music...... unlistenable.. great narrator! Soothing and clear..another reason why 🇨🇦CANADA RULES🇨🇦
La sexorcisito and Astro creep 2000 are great albums !
I liked his first solo album best, and everything else after that has been hit or miss for me. I'm glad he's still around, though. Every so often, he drops a true banger, and that's good enough for me.
white zombie was awesome
White Zombie was awesome because everyone in the band played their part perfectly. Rob's solo stuff was just various hired guns coming and going and most weren't very good musicians. Maybe John 5 was. but the solo albums mostly suffered for it as most solo albums do.
White Zombie was amazing
Rob Zombie REALLY needs to play Frank Zappa in a Zappa biopic. He looks so much like him, and with also being a musician it's a very natural fit.
white zombie were so much better than rob zombie though. like i don't even need to ever hear any rob zombie, but i still listen to astro creep and la sexorcisto all the time.
White Zombie had two great albums. Rob’s solo stuff pales in comparison, and his movies? Please stop.
Sheri Moon Zombie is my generation’s Yoko Ono.
Love it!
Great breakdown.
It felt like Hillbilly Deluxe came out of nowhere. Heavily NIN influenced and as this video mentions members of NIN worked on it. Was basically Rob doing his best Downward Spiral impersonation and doing a great job. Never liked any of his other records.
White zombie was an awesome band and then rob zombie went solo. His solo stuff wasn't anywhere near it was good. It was mostly pop oriented schlock, and he kept making that right up until today
Never date the bass player
Just ask James Iha.
Chill, bro 😂
😂😂😂😂
Never date anyone in a band you are in.Don't shit where you eat or live
@@jessj.j.french7482Preach!
White Zombie better than solo
Don't forget Rob Zombie was a playable character in Twisted Metal 4
Don’t forget he directed the worst munsters project ever
Rob Zombie stole his stage look from Ministry’s Al Jourgenson
Al Jourgensen
Thankfully he didn’t steal Al’s heroin addiction too
Hellbilly Deluxe was a great album but Super Sexy Swinging Sounds was peak refinement of the sound IMO and stayed in my CD player for a long time.
White zombie was way better than his solo stuff.
I saw White Zombie at Harpos in Detroit wayyyy back in the 90s...such a good time.
I watched an interview a year or two ago with White Zombie minus Rob.
I think it was with Loudwire? It was interesting to hear their side of the story
Rob zombie sucks. White zombie was the shit.
100% White Zombie
Too bad his movies suck. Also that Munsters reboot or whatever that was supposed to be. I liked White Zombie though.
I enjoyed the Munsters movie, I'll never watch it again. But it had it's charm.
Thank you for the post! ✌🏼😊
My pleasure!
@rnrtruestories 👍🏻😊
I absolutely love White Zombie. I probably the biggest WZ audio collection. I even go God's on Voodoo Moon and Pig Heaven Test Press. I've never been able to find a GOVM tape tho
Nice. I have Soul-Crusher and MTDS on vinyl and cassette. I like that dirty garagey early sound the best.
Lyrics: wah ma yeah get down on it oooooh yeah wah mah eat a nah yeah
Almost always jibberish even with white zombie
Remember when they played on MTV and the click track was half a bar off…
Yep lol I re-watched that recently
@ I’m not even a fan, but I felt their pain😂
Rob did art on Mobys first band Vatican Commandos album credited under his real name in 1983
Im sorry, obviously have the unpopular opinion here, but I love Rob Zombies solo stuff. Its a brilliantly tongue in cheek campy mix of pop culture, horror, metal, and dance music. Its also fun. And he's the first concert my daughter and I went to together.
Great video!!! Thanx!!!
Boggy Depot has some great songs on it. I seen Jerry Cantrell open for Metallica in the early 2000's at the Gorge Amphitheater in WA state. Amazing concert.
Lead Singer Disease , but HE OWNED IT
So, I finally understand it!
The demon inside Roy Wood left him and entered its new host Rob Zombie!!!
Bravo!
I liked white zombie more than the solo stuff. BUt Im not talking crap. Love Rob. I'ma bigger fan of the movies lately.
Would love a part 2
White Zombie was much better than Rob solo. Hell IMO Sean Yseult is an amazing bass player and also a goddess.
White zombie is way more better than his solo albums.. they should have continued without him.
No he is the PRINCE of Horror Metal. ALICE will ALWAYS be the undisputed KING of HOrror Metal, the dude bloody invented it!
Loved anything White Zombie, loved HellBilly Deluxe and The Sinister Urge, after that, so and so.
monster magnet is rock itself.
Absofukknlutely.
14:00 I got to see them during that tour it was October 30th 1998 the day before Halloween at the Mid-Hudson Civic center and it was the best concert I've ever been to in My Life fear factory did a badass job with stripped down set that they had monster magnet not so much I might have had an off day that night but Rob zombie definitely blew the roof off that place
