Rob Zombie

Rob Zombie is a solo artist who started of with his original band White Zombie. The band was formed in 1985 this band was different then most since they didn't write about personal experience but instead wrote about horror movies. The name White Zombie came from the 1932 horror film White Zombie. After recording four albums and two EP's the band went in separate ways since the members could no longer work together as a band. After the break up Rob formed his solo band, and Rob Zombie kept the good music coming with his horror film influenced lyrics and awesome songs. With his first solo album coming out in 1998 named Hellbilly Deluxe i believe this to be his best music released ever with songs like "Meet The Creeper", "Living Dead Girl" and his most commonly known song "Dragula". The next album Zombie would release is in 2001 in my opinion Rob was still producing some great tunes to listen to. Then in 2006 after recruiting former Marlyn Manson guitarist John 5 they dropped a fairly decent album called Educated Hoarses but not as heavy as previews albums. With Rob also being a movie director he put his music career on hold for a bit then after four years he let out another album named Hellbilly Deluxe 2. This album was once again done with John 5 I found it to be a pretty good album with a little bit of a mix of his old and new stuff. At the age of 45 I'm not sure how much longer he can stay in the music world but as long as he keep putting out some good music I'll still listen to him.
