Wouldn't his music entitled "Rob Zombie" as in Hellbilly Delux and The Sinister Urge be considered Nu-metal partially? I mean I can rarly hear guitar solos and there are many electronic sounds. Even on the nu-metal page he's there.

no, Rob Zombie isn't related to Johnny Ramone. That would be cool though.

Al Jourgensen

Should something be included in this article about Rob "borrowing" some of his style and look from Jourgensen? Has Rob ever commented on this in interviews? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.43.208.76 (talk) 10:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Any cited sources or is this just your opinion?--CyberGhostface 17:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References

I was looking through the list that goes into detail which of his songs borrow lines from films and all that other esoteric fanwankery and noticed that a lot of them don't seem very valid, especially not in the tone that they are written in. Some are fairly made, given that it takes a pair of working ears to connect a line from a film to that of one of his songs but other times it seems like whoever came up with that section was fishing in a dry well of knowledge that seems to make a threadbare connection to things in question. Bottom line to all of this, I believe it could use some trimming. 4.224.249.38 14:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Matheson reference?

I'm reading Richard Matheson's "Now You See It..." and at the end of chapter 1 the last two sentences say, "A chronicle of greed and cruelty, horror and rapacity, sadism and murder. Love, American style." Those same words (Love, American style) are in the White Zombie song "More Human than Human" (near the end) which is based on the movie "Blade Runner". Just thought it might be more than coincidence since two of Rob Zombie's songs (Creature of the Wheel and I am Legend) are about Matheson's novel "I am Legend". - Frank

Interesting point. I always thought that the WZ lyric related to Love, American Style (a late-1960s/early-1970s television show), though. Hmm. --Myles Long 23:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew McRory is Dead

If McRory is dead, how can Zombie be planning to put him in a sequel?

What are you talking about? Before he died, he appeared in the Devil's Rejects (a sequel to 100 Corpses). This is the last movie; Zombie said he's not doing anymore sequels. --CyberGhostface 18:45, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Educated Horses "Punk?"

As a very longtime fan, I see a much bigger significance in Rob's career with Educated Horses than this article implies. Although he had stated in various interviews that his intention was to essentially "strip down" from the latex, make-up, and "video game" performances, this latest release is not only an abandonment of his past image, it is completely devoid of his fusional mastery and trademark sensuality. When I think of 'punk,' I think of Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, or The Exploited. These acts had passion and attitude, which "Horses" has none. Reviews have varied from the "best thing he's ever done" to the downright cruel and scathing, which I will not repeat here. It feels more like a demo than a major release, which makes me wonder if the band shouldn't be performing under a formal name.

This "strip down" has also dramatically affected his visual work as well. "Foxy, Foxy" is an amateurish effort to appeal to pubescent 12 year old boys with the visual stimulation of an onion -- if you could see anything past the sun-glare in the cameras. Now, if this is a taste of his visual work yet to come, we've got a whole new artist. And in that case, maybe he should deliberate changing his name.

PS - I understood that Sean had passed away about 6 years ago. I just saw her entry in the pedia that she was working with a new project...

I know the post from Ray was from a while ago, but that is not what the talk page is for. It is for discussing the article not posting your opinions on an album. HorseApples 05:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Something that could be added to his page

Zombie's page mentions that he and his brother were heavily into the B-movies and classic monsters and stuff like that, which inspired Rob's music, but it doesn't say that the reason they were so interested in those things was because their parents were carnies, and they went with their parents around the carnival circuit.

I can site this information from Metal Heroes Magazine. I was just wondering about it, if it seems like relevant information to you guys, and if someone had the time, maybe they could stick that in there.

I wouldn't know really how to word it to make it flow with the rest of the page.

if you can source it, add it. let other people worry about editing it so that it will "flow with the rest of the page". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.43.208.76 (talk) 10:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Rob Dirt Straker?

Why is he credited as such on Soul-Crusher?

Rob Staker was his stage name in the early White Zombie days. ~~Tallman

Where is his discography?

I don't see a section clearly indicated to be his solo discography. -Iopq 02:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2 Articles?

Wouldn't it be better if there were two articles - Rob Zombie (person) and Rob Zombie (band) rather than just the one? Other artists that share their name with their band include Marilyn Manson, and there is a page for both himself and the group.

The red shirts

The article currently metions Rob Zombie was the lead singer of the "Capella group, The red shirts", but I can't find any reference to that band anywhere. Can anyone verify that? -Carlif 20:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it until someone else verifies it.--CyberGhostface 23:19, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
