May 17, 2011, 13 years ago
Rick Florino from Artist Direct interviewed ROB ZOMBIE recently about a number of topics including the upcoming Hell On Earth with SLAYER and new studio material. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Artist Direct: You and Slayer do very different things, but you speak to the same audience.
Zombie: "I think it's a good match because it's not unlike the tour with ALICE COOPER where both acts are very different, but there's a certain sensibility that crosses over in both audiences. Rather than two full sets of being pounded over the head with the same type of thing, musically we're so different and we complement each other well. It feels like it's going to be a really great tour."
Artist Direct: Have you begun working on any new music yet?
Zombie: "I was actually talking about it with John 5 the other day for a long time. We're very excited to get back to it. I feel like it's been a journey back. It's like the long way around. Educated Horses was sort of this weird reformation of the band. Hellbilly Deluxe 2 was edging back to the old days. Now, with the new band, we really want to take it back to the beginning in a weird way—just a dark, crazy Zombie record. It's almost exactly like what I think people would want us to do."
