Not to defend Rob doing that but he probably didn’t anticipate breaking up with Sean which was probably the reason for the deterioration in band chemistry.
Ivan did, this was just before he left the band, Rob drove him out with his bullshit, it destroyed their friendship, Ivan actually shined a little light on it recently in the 30th anniversary interview he, Sean and Jay did.
He's a genius on finding out very talented musicians and assembling them in bands with creative and unique sounds for sure. But he's very bad on keeping it up. At some point, he needs to change the musicians even in his solo career. As per shown in this interview, he gets sick of the same ppl around quite fast.
White Zombie broke up because of Rob, and they haven't reformed because of him. During their tour to support La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1, he isolated himself and grew increasingly hostile to the other members of the band. Ivan de Prume called Rob to discuss the determination within the band. Rob told him, "If you don't like it, you can quit the band." Ivan replied, "Oh, is that what you want?", and Rob replied, "F*ck you. Quit." Then he hung up.
This was so refreshing for us 80s metal kids after 3 straight years of 'serious' 'political' alternative rock; college rock, Seattle rock. Ominous visual sexual and heavy. WZ and Pantera tie for best of 90s
White Zombie musicians could have gone on as a band without Rob Zombie if they had wanted to. All they needed was a better front man who was a better musician who could play instruments. Think of Iron Maiden. So many talented front men left that band but none were as good as Bruce.
You get the feeling rob thought the other three were boring dolts…n once he was done with Sean…well that’s it bye guys…does he think John 5 is an idiot as well? Don’t know but woukd not be surprised…ya he’s not much of a singer to carry on like he does but he’s sees himself as a brilliant director…I’ve never seen a film of his I never even liked the promos so …maybe one day he will make something cool…the Munsters? I’m betting that’s maybe worth checking out on Netflix on a Tuesday nite at 11pm
It's actually the other way around lmao. Without Jay's focused groovy metal riffs rob would still be in a noise band making whiney hyena noises. Without ivan stepping up his drumming to match, it'd still just be a noise band. Rob couldn't even perform live. Sean also contributed to the artwork, so...they really could have made it with a different vocalist if they absolutely had to. White zombie really was only white zombie because of the band. As evidenced by the fact that when Rob took over too much, the band had to end and he had to put out that silly techno remix album to fulfill the contract. It's also the reason why sexorcisto is usually regarded as the best album, maybe tied with astro creep. Because of the band. When he had no band,...he had a shit album.
@@liloni444 actually just listened to an interview with Sean. They merely didn't want to keep going with a new vocalist. That option was on the table since they controlled 3/4 of the band. They were all ready to move on after having dealt with rob's bullshit for years and years. They felt that it had run its course, and that trying to force it with a new vocalist wouldn't work. I personally would have moved forward with a new vocalist. Sean said both her and Jay already had a bunch of new riffs for the next album, but Rob wanted his techno sound and was done with having to do white zombie as a band. They were supposed to be on a break for a year and get back together to resume talks about the next album, but then all of the sudden his solo album was released that year. So just because they made a decision to move on from white zombie, and leave it as it was,...doesn't mean that they weren't to primary reason white zombie kicked ass as a groove metal band.
@@liloni444 I wish they would have voted Rob completely out of the band and moved on with a new vocalist. Jay said the writing was really on the wall as early as astrocreep 2000, because they would come into the studio ready to record like a band would,...and Rob just kept saying "oh no no, we can just sample that and repeat it" and stuff like that. Jay said "well then why are we even showing up?". They all knew it was going to end soon, because Rob just didn't want to be in a true band anymore. Hell as recently as like 10 years ago, ivan was asking Jay and Sean to consider voting Rob out of the band, they all still are a part of the corporation that is W.Z., and getting this vocalist from a W.Z. tribute band out of Las Vegas who can actually sing the shit live, and does a way better job than Rob ever did, and doing stuff that way. He showed me Sean's texts back saying that everyone is just done with white zombie, it's over and they never want to revisit the material again, or do anything new. So, oh well. All we get is what we got.
"When we get big enough, I'll be just like Axl, have my own tour bus and want associate with the rest of the band." Rob wasn't joking lol
Not to defend Rob doing that but he probably didn’t anticipate breaking up with Sean which was probably the reason for the deterioration in band chemistry.
Omg I saw this when it was a brand new interview! That aged nicely, didn't it. And they laughed!!
yea just ask king buzzo lol
Got the best of him
Rob was such a selfish ass, all he wanted was some piece of ass like sheri moon, once her got it, he went solo and became a recluse.
If I would have to make a decission between my White Zombie or Rob Zombie records I would decide to keep the White Zombie ones.
If my Rob Zombie records were still around I too would be making that decision…
Oh God yeah, no debate at all, really. I wouldn't have to think about it. I'd say White Zombie before they even finished the question.
Hell no, I love Astro creep but no.
I can relate what Rob was saying, finding more enjoyment out of TV then dealing with real people.
Yeah I agree too. Characters in movies and tv shows are way more interesting.
The guy on the far right looks like he hates Rob the whole time 😂
He did.
Ivan did, this was just before he left the band, Rob drove him out with his bullshit, it destroyed their friendship, Ivan actually shined a little light on it recently in the 30th anniversary interview he, Sean and Jay did.
@@rickyrendon9822 what minute in the interview was this plz
Curly musketeer Hetfield?
Rob zombie was a 🍆 to everyone and ruined the band.. even tho Sean was the driving force.
Rob is a genius. I wish WZ would do a few reunion shows tho.
He's a genius on finding out very talented musicians and assembling them in bands with creative and unique sounds for sure. But he's very bad on keeping it up. At some point, he needs to change the musicians even in his solo career. As per shown in this interview, he gets sick of the same ppl around quite fast.
What have you done lately? 🤣🤣🤣!!!!

Won't happen. Let sleeping g corpses lie says it all in the title.
Rob is not a genius.
best lineup of WZ
I think I liked John Tempesta on drums better...But Jay and Sean? Hell yeah.
@@scottisitt jay and sean rock it hard! and yea astro creep rulez !
@@stevenimeson902 🤘
Rob ruined a good thing
Sad part of it is he'd never admit it. He's too busy sniffing his own farts from a wine glass to notice or care.
Grunge was cool and all, but this band here is one of the funnest things to come out of the 90s
Wow the irony
KnottieBoy what do you mean?
@@nastylittlecritter I think hes referring to that 'lead singer disease' comment Rob made.
@@tonyp1376 lol thought of that right away
Definitely can relate to being the one weird guy in school that everyone hated.
Agree with Rob, people are boring and usually suck. I don't need 'em
Que joven para mí este es un pedazo de artista
This was so refreshing for us 80s metal kids after 3 straight years of 'serious' 'political' alternative rock; college rock, Seattle rock. Ominous visual sexual and heavy. WZ and Pantera tie for best of 90s
Ps still carry a grudge against Rob for breaking up the band

*"...fiiiiiiiiiiive...yeah....WOW!"*
Damn good track. The guitars are really great on this album, same for Astro, maybe it's not essential but Jay does add something special.
Shame they didn't stay together longer.
Makes it more special man. 1 in a million band!
they were together for 7 years
6:06 they laugh about it, but that's exactly what happened...
Madre mía rob zombie
Please add subtitles

No, he and John 5 are best friends. He's also friends with the rest of his current members.
@5:32, tool bag.
Sean likes the word like like so liking muchlike. Like totally like vacuous like stereotype like manlike.
Like Rob with yeah
Primus. Primus is/was untouchable
People love to hate on Rob Zombie but the band would be nothing without him

@@morsteen is that why the band completely collapsed and permanently disappeared without him?
