KNAC.com has issued an interview with guitarist JOHN 5 (ROB ZOMBIE), conducted by Deb Rao. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: Let's talk about the concept for The Devil Knows My Name. Would you say it has kind of a mystical or occult vibe to it? By the way, I really like the song titles.
A: "All of the titles to the record except for 'Welcome To The Jungle' and 'Young Thing' are all references to serial killers including 'The First Victim' and 'Werewolf Of Westeria'. '27 Needles', is about Albert Fish, who is a serial killer and he put 27 needles in his groin, when he went to jail they did an x-ray of him and they found these needles in his groin. So that is what that song is from. Everything means something on the record. It is not just a bunch of titles thrown together. If you put in a title and type it in the Internet and Google it, you will find out all these stories about it."
