Corey_Lazarus Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 I'll buy it. Why? Because Zombie fucking rules.
Steviekick Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Posted August 22, 2003 Rob Zombie is the most underrated guy in mainstream hard rock. It seems like he never gets any credit/respect from anyone.
Guest El Satanico Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 I'm interested in it, However, there's too much new stuff and not enough older stuff. I would've liked to have seen at least a few songs from White Zombies albums before they signed to a major label.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 I like White Zombie well enough, but his solo material just keeps beating the same horse...spooky monster horror show, look out. I'm convinced he just wanted to hear his stuff in strip clubs while he's lounging in one, and wrote appropriate tunes.
Corey_Lazarus Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 That would explain why the remix album of Dragula is entitled American Made Music To Strip By. Rob just doesn't have the heart to make good riff-heavy metal anymore, it seems. Sure, still fun hard rock, but where's the feeling that Astro-Creep 2000 gave? You don't hear songs like "Blood, Milk, And Sky" or "I, Zombie" or "Real Solution #9" anymore from Rob. Dammit, Rob needs to get rid of Blasko and Riggs and patch things up with J and Yseult ASA-FUCKING-P.
NoCalMike Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 Rob's Solo music is more arena BIG SOUND-sounding. Which means a lot of fluff to go easy on the ears and add in a spooky horror show, where as with White Zombie that is just how the music actually made you feel listening to the songs and the intro-soundbytes. I highly prefer White Zombie to Rob Zombie-solo.
Henry Spencer Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 I absolutely hate his solo material. The man has rewritten the same song so many times it's not even funny. He doesn't get any respect because he doesn't deserve any.
Steviekick Posted August 23, 2003 Author Report Posted August 23, 2003 Dammit, Rob needs to get rid of Blasko and Riggs and patch things up with J and Yseult ASA-FUCKING-P. I would crap myself for a White Zombie reunion. Rob's Solo music is more arena BIG SOUND-sounding. Which means a lot of fluff to go easy on the ears and add in a spooky horror show, where as with White Zombie that is just how the music actually made you feel listening to the songs and the intro-soundbytes. His new stuff is a lot more Alice Cooperish and performance oriented. It's different and not that bad, but we know he can do better.
NoCalMike Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 I don't mind the performance aspect of his solo-stuff, however I am just a fan of White Zombie MUSIC more.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 I am too, but it's really some pretty simplistic stuff. The guys in his band right now are more than capable of playing any old White Zombie tunes...garage bands are capable of playing White Zombie tunes. They basically still are, in many ways..same lyrical themes, same overall sound, maybe glossier. Simple chugging riffs and driving beats, etc..I just think he ran out of steam, and sounds more lackluster now.
Nevermortal Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 I don't like Dance music for the most part. And because of that, I hate Rob Zombie. Its dance-metal.
Corey_Lazarus Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 I love dancing to lyrics about zombies...
Guest El Satanico Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 Well, he's involved in so much other stuff that his focus isn't on music. So he's just making fun music that's easy to throw together in his spare time between work on other projects. Besides, he has always been more about the performance than the music. As long as he keeps the horror themes in his music, I'll like him.
Steviekick Posted August 23, 2003 Author Report Posted August 23, 2003 I don't like Dance music for the most part. And because of that, I hate Rob Zombie. Its dance-metal. Wouldn't KMFDM, Atari Teenage Riot, and the Kovenant be dance metal?
Corey_Lazarus Posted August 24, 2003 Report Posted August 24, 2003 I don't like Dance music for the most part. And because of that, I hate Rob Zombie. Its dance-metal. Wouldn't KMFDM, Atari Teenage Riot, and the Kovenant be dance metal? Not really. KMFDM is pretty straight-forward industrial metal, Atari Teenage Riot is "digital hardcore," and Kovenant is industrial metal. WHITE Zombie was industrial metal. ROB Zombie is industrial rock. I think "dance metal" is best used to describe Rammstein.
Guest Choken One Posted August 24, 2003 Report Posted August 24, 2003 Digital Hardcore... Wow. I don't think there can be an anymore outlandish sub-genre of music possible... unless Country Metal exists..
Steviekick Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Posted August 24, 2003 Digital hardcore rocks...great stuff there. Actually they call a lot of the industrial/electronic metal IDM for intelligent dance music. The last album Kovenant album S.E.T.I. is a perfect example of IDM
