ROB ZOMBIE
He is know to be a workoholic with different skills such as :
|
After more than 10 years of work in White Zombie ,
Rob Zombie as been also involved in some
production for other bands
(some under his own Label "A GoGo Records" )
One of its best prod is this halloween compilation
Mr.Zombie is known to do the vocals part of the song but did you know that he
uses somesort of a keyboard/synthesizer to get the general idea of the tune that He's writing or brainstorming on...then the other guys listen and take it from there ? (confirmations needed)
Rob directed most of his music videos.
He was the production assistant in "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" but he was uncredited, so don't expect the name ROB ZOMBIE to flash up at the end!
Tryed to wrote and produce the Crow 2037 (3rd Sequel) but it stopped so they got Chip Johannessen to write it and Bharat Nalluri to direct. It's called Crow: Salvation
He also was the assistant director (uncredited) for "Beavis & Butt-head Do America" aswell as drawing the cool hallucination scene
Who did all the drawings ? The answers takes only 3 letters : R.O.B.
When he was 15 years old he was "studing" in some art schools
(ie Parsons School of Design) but he left in 1985
He didnt published full book so far, beside issues of Zombie Zine and some of his drawing in commercials ads (guitar hardware, Vodka)
He contribuated to the film "beavis and butthead do america".
Also he was working on a comic book too
(which could be realised on Marvel comics)
His favorite comic book is the Fantastic 4 140-something,
the one where Hulk and Thing had the first confrontation
Other Illustrator drew some WZ posters ...
such as

Also He is responsible for his own tattoos.
Rob Zombie, vocalist of White
Zombie, is a straightforward person, and his philosophy on tattooing
is as solid and practical as a hammer:
"You want one, you get one. It
hurts. You like it or you don't."
Choosing an artist was easy for the
dreadlocked singer.
"I always liked the idea of them. The only reason
I never got one before was that I never saw one that was really great
until I saw Guy Aitchison's work.
The last thing you want is a bad tattoo."
Off-stage, Zombie is an accomplished artist. He designed most of the
tattoos on his body, and collaborated with Guy on the others. He spent
a short period of time in art school, but ditched it for good after
deciding it was "horseshit." Zombie's tattooing is confined to his
arms so far, but there's no real unifying theme behind his collection.
"I always come up with an idea at the last second and say to myself,
'Gee, I hope I like it tomorrow.'"
In the end, Rob plans on being
fully sleeved, and it will be Aitchison that does the work.
"Every
time I go to Chicago, I see Guy."
Straker said,
"People say, 'Check out so and so,
his work is just as good as Guy's.'
And I look and say, 'No it's not.'"

Is he into *any* religion ?
Who cares ?
Rob said in several interviews that they are not satanics.
[ Anyway I (IMHO) don't think WZ are satanics ...
if Insolence would be a religion then they will be religious :-)
]
In an interview done with rob
he was asked what the most satanic thing is that he has ever done....
he replied, watched babe....
He says that he believes that
"there is someone out there but
he doesn't think that he has to call him God...."
[ Why ? "To give you the short version, the band was together for 13 years and did a lot of stuff, and that was cool, but we ran out of steam. Rather than making crappy records, we just ended it. There's nothing worse than when a band stays together and you go, "God I wish they had split up! They suck!? "" -- Rob Zombie ]
Finnaly Rob announced in several interviews that the chances of a reformation of WZ is near to zero % .

I'm not asking you to believe me but here me out, because this is what I heard from someone who knows a Photographer of White Zombie. I heard that White Zombie might break up, but I think it might just be one person but I have no clue. Before you start saying how fucked up I am about posting a message like that, think if that was going to happen and how much it would suck..
