No one ever said Rob was a good vocalist. He is an entertaining front man though. Haha I remember seeing him when they were playing 2-3k capacity venues and he was in the crowd for at least 3 songs. He even climbed up to the balcony to join the people up there. I have only been to a handful of shows where there was that much crowd interaction.
Here's a quick rundown of how the comments go. She's great on the bass! He can hardly breathe! Awesome bassline! Jeez he's outta breath! She's a bass goddess! He....
Seeing Rob Zombie get all out of breath from just a few twists and turns really makes you respect Mick Jagger's stage presence and energy that much more!
Anthony Keidis of RHCP was energetic like that and never missed a beat when I saw them live in 1989. SA Martinez of 311 has more energy than any six people in the audience and he's always on-point, too. Not taking anything from Mick at all.
@@histochronos Right. As I said, I wasn't taking anything from Mick. Two different horses running two different types of races. I was just giving examples of energetic showmen who just don't gas out.
The 90’s were great, especially the first half, 1994 was perhaps the most unbelievably killer year of all. The releases of epic quality were relentless week after week
I’m 45 now and this song was part of the soundtrack of my youth. I’m still at risk for one hell of a speeding ticket if I’m driving and this song comes on. That slide with those drums…awesome!
In total agreement with you there brother. I think her bass line on El Phantasmo And The Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama from Supersexy Swinging Sounds is positively hypnotic. Her cut in at 2:18 gives me the chills.
A friend who worked for a record label had a pre-release advance of this and Supercharger Heaven. I and a few guys were renting a house and we had some huge parties...having the early release of these songs at our place that night was insane. Thanks again, Bob Morgano....wherever you are.
Hey, it's me! It's Bob! Bob Morgano! It's so good to hear from you, brother! Say, remember that time we were drinking, and I dared you to eat that baby kitten, and before I could finish my sentence, I look over at you and see just a fluffy tail sticking out of your mouth! Boy, oh boy, we had some great times, huh?
I still remember hearing this for the 1st time at a friends house. His older brother played it. I loved it and couldn't get enough. Still one of my favorites. Still makes my blood flow.
man he really doesnt need to be running around on stage like that, i promise you the crowd would be just as hype if he stood still and had enough breath to sing the whole song
it was a band alright, but so was the other band. it was a band. also did you a band happened? you would know if you where paying attention. im not angry, im just very disappointed.
He has kindof moved closer back to the White Zombie sound over the last few albums with John 5 IMHO. His last two in particular are wonderful! A little less uptempo, but WZ would have mellowed out a bit too.
When it comes to Rob it’s really not that rare. He’s always sucked ass live and needed a lot of studio help to sound good. Pretty much every live show with him shows the instruments outperforming the vocalist
That's just a standard WZ performance. Rob's cool on record and his aesthetic and artwork was awesome, but he was always terrible live. Great fucking band though.
Yeah, his shows are a blast. Some of my favorites I've ever been to. Would go again for sure. But yeah his live vocals haven't ever been very good. But he is entertaining as hell. And make up for it with John 5, Piggy-D, and Ginger Fish solos.
Heard this song while driving one day and thought "Any station that plays White Zombie can't be all bad" 😃 Cranked that radio UP!!!, and have ever since this song come on.
I remember seeing this performance on MTV and it BLEW me away. Made me a Zombie fan that night. Made me sweat just from watching these guys doing all that running and jumping on stage. Also made me want to bang my head in my living room just watching them. Made me believe the genre was not fading but getting stronger with this song. An awesome song that I still crank up full blast in my car banging my head as much as I can and still drive!
@@TheIndustrialRetrospective does pre broadcast mean it didnt air on original show?? Like it was a pre show?? And yea man Rob is legendary!!!! Good stuff here
Classic Bob zombie. Gets so tired so quick from the jumping around, the vocal performance always suffers for it. I was lucky enough to see White Zombie once, and a few years later I saw the solo act, both performances had the same problem.
With how bad his voice gets, you'd think he was a heavy smoker coupled with asthma. I've seen him a number of times and where the show is always great, his voice just sounds like trash. It gets worse every year imo.
@@bb-gc2tx I saw one trailer and said there's no way in hell I'm going to check that out. The original was fantastic and the new one was a sad and pale example. Why even try?
The popularity of this was based off of the studio version of the song. Have you noticed how bands don’t play live at music awards anymore? We collectively found out that Rob Zombie sucked at singing at this awards show. Nice job calling out a time in history.. compared to today? Ya we are totally inundated with great original artists at the moment 🙄
I never watched music or movie awards shows there so fake and to predictable. It's always the pop culture crap that wins some one hit wonder pop group or they make a big deal over Madonna or Jackson the people that should be winning are not like the rock bands but they put the pop or hip hop artists stars out there and have the camera in there face and really milk it as well when there preforming on stage very rare does a rock or metal band get to play most of the world listens to rock music but pop culture is pushed in your face I could carte less about Madonna Britney Spears or some hip hop guy.
Well he spent all his energy running around during the fucking intro. Though I thought it was known that he's a much better studio artist than a live one.
I remember seeing zombie opening for pantera. They had this graveyard stage set. When the intro started there were 3 coffins buried in dirt center stage. Than rob, sean & jay opened & crawled out of the coffins. They had dirt rolling off of them. When the music started & sean started head banging dust just started rolling everywhere. I've seen a lot of concerts over the years. That is by far the coolest intro I've ever seen. If you were lucky enough to see them with the graveyard stage set you know what I'm talking about. You cant explain it, yoy had to see it for yourself.
How was their sound? I ask because it seems every live performance I see, Rob completely fuckin blows it. I love White Zombie but goddam Rob sucks ass live..
Saw the same tour with Pantera. Rob had backing vocal tracks. Only time I ever saw that at a rock show. Zombie sucked but Pantera played the best show I’ve ever seen.
Yeah, honestly I can NOT/NEVER stand ANY Rob Zombie related music 😒 But I definitely agree, Sean was a BADazz along with Tempesta on drums. Just going to show that Zombie had some of the BEST mainstream METAL musicians (for the timing) and he wouldn't be shyt without em. ALWAYS blew me away..It obviously PAID well.... LOL
Saw them when they opened for Pantera in 94. Took the White Zombie stage 30 minutes to set up to play a 45 minute set. A very mediocre set at that. Rob isn’t great live. One person worse is Manson. That was 45 minutes of him basically screaming.
Jay never played any of his solos live, I was at the Pantera shows too, and for the astrocreep tour it sounded perfect all of a sudden, they totally milli vanilli'd that. I was surprised to see them not do it here
Rob Zombie has always had way better stage presence and imagery than vocals live. Can't beat the energy of the band as a whole though... freakin' awesome. Love Sean Yseult's green hair, she is rockin' it hard!
I saw them open for Ozzy in Toronto, Ont 08 Rob out on an excellent show and his singing was really good they played al the hits Rob even walked around the whole arena floor Ozzy total disapointment.
@@daviddoyle8956 honestly, I personally see nothing special about Ozzy, but that's me. Saw Ozzy at the Maple Leaf's Gardens in 84. It was a good show, but I'll take Zombie any day.
Rob has gotten *much* better over time. His endurance is world class now. I think we went vegan and got super into aerobic fitness. Dead serious. Look up recent live performances.
Watching this, all these years later, legit gave me chills, on more than one occasion! Every instrument, so clear and thumping! We had so much freakin' fun, in the 90's, being 20ish, wild 'n free 🤘😁
Agreed, I was wild n' free in San Francisco. Still pretty cheap to get by, music was everywhere and the internet hadn't taken over our lives with free AOL floppy discs in the mail. The time after when grunge had beaten down hair bands and had almost run it's course but a time before it all started to morph into suck.
@@Coover90210 "aRe YoU oN tHe SpEcTrUm!?" No more than you are as someone getting butthurt with such a knee-jerk, ad hominem response. There are people that seriously believe nu-metal is skilled. You see, internet sarcasm is typically displayed with what I just did, or extended ellipses: "....."
@@steveh7508 Probably because Rob started exercising and getting on a cardio regimen. That, and he doesn't run around as much. In all his early performances he can't catch his breath after running around so much on stage. He shouldn't sound gassed after 60 seconds.
We were just watching an old VHS of this Video Music Award show a few months back, and it was like all four of them were listening to an in-ear track that started at a different time.
Zombie is just one of those acts that relies on a considerable amount of post production to sound great. The arrangement, complexity, and sonic depth on his albums is second to none. But, just like hip-hop, you never actually want to see it live.
thank god for wireless audio systems, these guys can rock the whole stage in different directions. unlike today's metal rock bands,they just stand there without emotions
The difference is that a lot of bands today aren't just playing muted e5 or d5 on the downbeats with silence in between. Outside of running around, there's not a lot going on for the guitar in white zombie. Bands today are putting more technicality into their riffs. You aren't running around much with modern compositions.
Now I hear what’s missing (in addition to Rob’s breath). In the studio version, that synth part at the beginning plays throughout the verses. But for this live version, they either took it out because it was too hard to keep time with, or it got completely drowned out in the mix. And that leaves the mostly-one-note bass line to carry the verses. I remember looking forward to this performance as a 14 year-old, because White Zombie were pretty much the only metal band MTV would play during the daytime. For what it’s worth, I saw them live twice back in the day, and they were awesome both times.
@@MrParkerman6 there are foot pedals that can play samples, and their stage crew could also have set it up to play at a certain time, so they certainly COULD have used if, just like they got it to play during the intro. But if they tried that during the verse, they’d have probably fallen off time. It’s the pratfalls of having an extra sound come in and out throughout the song.
It turns out that White Zombie WAS able to include that synth part during the verses when they played live (and that Rob was able to forget the lyrics): ua-cam.com/video/JWM3BGQAKgQ/v-deo.html So during this MTV performance, the synth either got completely drowned out in the mix, or there was some other equipment issue. Or maybe someone forgot to bring something … like an invisible keyboardist (it happens to the best of us) 😎
I remember watching this air live and they had the synth part in the mix, the band got out of sync with it, and the whole thing sounded like a hot mess. Bad enough that I called friends after to make sure I heard it correctly. "Dude, was it me it did Zombie sound awful?" I think any future airings had things edited to take the out-of-sync backing track removed. And RZ being winded of course. I saw them once on the LA Sexorcisto tour (a young Pantera opened!) and it's still one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
I watched it live as stoked as you but I was 26! I haven't seen this vid since. In the first five seconds I was like - oh yeah this is when Rob ran around like an idiot and ruined all my hopes for White Zombie. La Sexorista / Devil Music Volume 1 is still a top 1o album for me.
I was just watching this filling my dogs water bowl up and completely forgot about it as the water was overflowing onto the floor...lol. I love Rob Zombie!!!
She inspired me to play bass besides Ryan from Mudvayne and Fieldy from KoRn, then just metal music instruments in general that was alt metal/groove metal like Astro Creep 2000, KoRn's Issues and Mudvayne's LD 50 and Staind's Dysfunctional when my step-dad at the time played hella mid to hella late 90s MTV metal on his old VHS tapes and my instant love for metalhead chicks and the culture grew from there lmao
My first crowd surfing experience was at a WZ show in Denver. As I was lifted over the barrier and on to the floor, I was within 3-4 feet of Sean on stage and I got a big smile from her. I was instantly in love.
I still play this song, my wife says too me "arent you too old for this kinda music" wtf ill never grow out of metal music its passed down threw generations i tell her
The people that say metal was a "fad" only believe that because THEY are trend followers. If you really feel the energy of the music, it is never a fad.
@tongkatable I've seen him live and he was 1000/10 one of the best live performances ever, Rockstar Mayhem Tour in Tulsa. Every other band either played only a couple of songs or censored themselves because every shit/fuck (at least on the main stage) was a $5000 fine cause Oklahoma is stupid. It was right after Five Finger Death Punch walked off stage after only playing like 2.5 songs in protest. Rob Zombie finally got on stage and he yelled Fuck 13 x in a row and the entire crowd went apeshit. It was amazing, he was better live than on record. He doesn't sound good on this show, he was probably fucked up, but when I saw him live he was totally phenomenal and I was front row. You can feel the heat off the pyrotechnics, it was outdoors. Shock rock is meant for live performances. The only band that I enjoyed more live was Gwar.
Rob is an example of a studio musician. Much like the studio rappers. They piece together decent takes to make it sound ok but as soon as they have to perform it, they flop. He was into samples and many many takes. Not a good idea for a metal band seeking to play live. And definitely not good if you plan on jumping around like a cheerleader.
I saw them in 1996 in Houston. They opened for Pantera at the Summit. They played the most mesmerizing show I've ever seen. 15,000 people tranced out watching them.
Saw that tour at Riverport. St. Louis. Took a 2.5 hour drive to get there. Dropped a sunshine and one of my buddys prescription lithium pills. 2.5 hours later and I never took one drink off my quart of Old Milwaukee. Man I was fried. Felt like a 10 minute drive.
@@tcw4731 I saw White Zombie at least 2-3 times between 94-97. With Pantera was by far the best. The other times they had different bands open for them- like one time they had The Toadies and The Supersuckers (punk band) open for them. With Pantera it was a packed house, and I got the wind knocked out of me, and a lot of bumps and bruises from surfing the pit- landed on my ass on the concrete floor, got stomped on by several people. Good times. I couldn't do that now in my upper 40's, I'd have to take the rest of the week off to recover, haha.
My first show on the road as a musician was a gigantic reality kick in the face when it came to realizing how much hard work had to be done by me in order to be in shape to play a bigger stage,run/jump/dance around and do backing vocals...let alone take lead vocals.
Absolutely!! I used to be very active while singing regularly but I cannot do that anymore. It’s no joke. I’d have to start a workout program to get ready for a big show now. It’s just not a skill you keep unless you do it frequently.

it was a band alright, but so was the other band. it was a band. also did you a band happened? you would know if you where paying attention. im not angry, im just very disappointed.
His first album was alright.
He has kindof moved closer back to the White Zombie sound over the last few albums with John 5 IMHO. His last two in particular are wonderful! A little less uptempo, but WZ would have mellowed out a bit too.
Rob developed LSS ... Lead Singer Sindrome.
For years I dreamed of a D'arcy Wretzky/Sean Yseult 3 way
Wretsky didn't age so well lol
LOL 90's token Blonde girl bass orgy fantasy!....add Kim Gordon & the girl from Coal Chamber.
This is a rare chance to see the instruments outperform the vocalist. Seriously, this is crazy good playing.
Rob's old band was on fire, he probably knew he was the weakest link...
When it comes to Rob it’s really not that rare. He’s always sucked ass live and needed a lot of studio help to sound good. Pretty much every live show with him shows the instruments outperforming the vocalist
Unfortunately pretty much standard issue whenever Rob performs live
That's just a standard WZ performance. Rob's cool on record and his aesthetic and artwork was awesome, but he was always terrible live.

Rob had Axl Rose Syndrome.

I'm always impressed with the highly complex bass line of this song.
Funny.😊
You have to be joking
What? It's not complex at all hahaha...It's just not finger walking single notes in the key.
Sometimes simple is what you need. In this case a complex bass line would have been weak. Same with guitar and drums.

Well he spent all his energy running around during the fucking intro. Though I thought it was known that he's a much better studio artist than a live one.
@@jounik8980 Did that make sense in your head?
I remember seeing zombie opening for pantera. They had this graveyard stage set. When the intro started there were 3 coffins buried in dirt center stage. Than rob, sean & jay opened & crawled out of the coffins. They had dirt rolling off of them. When the music started & sean started head banging dust just started rolling everywhere. I've seen a lot of concerts over the years. That is by far the coolest intro I've ever seen. If you were lucky enough to see them with the graveyard stage set you know what I'm talking about. You cant explain it, yoy had to see it for yourself.
Sounds pretty awesome. I miss the 90s.
Thats awesome wish i could have witnessed it.
How was their sound? I ask because it seems every live performance I see, Rob completely fuckin blows it. I love White Zombie but goddam Rob sucks ass live..
Saw the same tour with Pantera. Rob had backing vocal tracks. Only time I ever saw that at a rock show. Zombie sucked but Pantera played the best show I’ve ever seen.
Yeah, honestly I can NOT/NEVER stand ANY Rob Zombie related music 😒 But I definitely agree, Sean was a BADazz along with Tempesta on drums. Just going to show that Zombie had some of the BEST mainstream METAL musicians (for the timing) and he wouldn't be shyt without em. ALWAYS blew me away..It obviously PAID well.... LOL
Saw this line up may 25 in West Palm Beach. I will never forget that show
Rob does well in recordings, not live!
Sean, Jay, and Ivan were the live performers. saw them in the 90s
Saw them when they opened for Pantera in 94. Took the White Zombie stage 30 minutes to set up to play a 45 minute set. A very mediocre set at that. Rob isn’t great live. One person worse is Manson. That was 45 minutes of him basically screaming.
@@asskicknchickn manson was amazing live until the early 2000’s..: i will agree he sounds horrible these days though
I saw White Zombie open for Pantera in Cincinnati, they were great
He runs around too much and gets so winded he can finish a line.
Jay never played any of his solos live, I was at the Pantera shows too, and for the astrocreep tour it sounded perfect all of a sudden, they totally milli vanilli'd that. I was surprised to see them not do it here
I remember when the mtv awards show was actually watchable and rocked out. I miss those days
He sounds so tired after doing 30 seconds of his first song.
One of my favorite bands!
I love Sean 😍
Rob Zombie has always had way better stage presence and imagery than vocals live. Can't beat the energy of the band as a whole though... freakin' awesome. Love Sean Yseult's green hair, she is rockin' it hard!
I would rather him stand in one spot, without all the screams and grunts, and sing the song good. I'd rather listen to music, than watch music.
I so agree
I saw them open for Ozzy in Toronto, Ont 08 Rob out on an excellent show and his singing was really good they played al the hits Rob even walked around the whole arena floor Ozzy total disapointment.
@@daviddoyle8956 honestly, I personally see nothing special about Ozzy, but that's me. Saw Ozzy at the Maple Leaf's Gardens in 84. It was a good show, but I'll take Zombie any day.
Rob has gotten *much* better over time. His endurance is world class now. I think we went vegan and got super into aerobic fitness. Dead serious. Look up recent live performances.
Killer bass line. Just growls.
Saw them twice in 96 and twice when he was solo.... Never disappointed.
My 1st concert. 1995. I was 15. They are why I love metal to this day! 🤘
Me too..in 1995 with Prong..It was way more wild than this show..
Same brother, with Filter and Babes in Toyland
My brother was 11 and 40 now and still listens to Korn.
I'm 39. This was and is always gonna be one of my all time favorites
This song takes breaths away!
Watching this, all these years later, legit gave me chills, on more than one occasion! Every instrument, so clear and thumping! We had so much freakin' fun, in the 90's, being 20ish, wild 'n free 🤘😁
Agreed, I was wild n' free in San Francisco. Still pretty cheap to get by, music was everywhere and the internet hadn't taken over our lives with free AOL floppy discs in the mail. The time after when grunge had beaten down hair bands and had almost run it's course but a time before it all started to morph into suck.
Countless times I blasted that entire cd. We lived in the last great era of music. Come on flux capacitor!!
Hell yeah the 90s were great 🤣
Yes the 90's were awesome
I was partying at the American Pie in Atlanta. Gone now but it was thumpin
Two Halloween movies later,....And Sean is still hot.
Literally my favourite album of all time.
Yeaeaaaahhh!!!!!!!
This is such an extraordinary musical composition, and to hear it played by such talented musicians is a real treat for the ears.
Ha ha. Really
You need to listen to a LOT more rock/progressive/metal music if you consider this "such talent."
@jaredts3785 are you on the spectrum or something? Learn how to detect sarcasm dude.
@@Coover90210 "aRe YoU oN tHe SpEcTrUm!?" No more than you are as someone getting butthurt with such a knee-jerk, ad hominem response. There are people that seriously believe nu-metal is skilled. You see, internet sarcasm is typically displayed with what I just did, or extended ellipses: "....."
@jaredts3785. So like for example, if I was to respond "siCk bUrn, dude", then you would know I was being sarcastic? thaNKs fOr tHE valUaBLe tIp!
Takes me back to such a better time. To the memories...🍻
I've always wondered if Rob knows how bad he sounds, bad ass performance from everyone else as usual
i saw them in 96 they sounded like this then i say them in 2016 and there were solid as fuck, he actauly good now
@@steveh7508 Probably because Rob started exercising and getting on a cardio regimen. That, and he doesn't run around as much. In all his early performances he can't catch his breath after running around so much on stage. He shouldn't sound gassed after 60 seconds.
@@tomwisniewski8988 might have taken professional lessons too, i know alot of 90's band did after they got big
Pre gym rat era.
@@tomwisniewski8988 Especially to what he sings, it's not some complex lyrical mastery..
We were just watching an old VHS of this Video Music Award show a few months back, and it was like all four of them were listening to an in-ear track that started at a different time.
She is ..... ❤❤❤
Zombie is just one of those acts that relies on a considerable amount of post production to sound great. The arrangement, complexity, and sonic depth on his albums is second to none. But, just like hip-hop, you never actually want to see it live.
i can't imagine the hip hop acts you've seen, like 90 percent of the hip hop shows I've been to everyone performing was on point and delivered well.
I saw him last night and it sounded way better than this and it is 28 years later. Go figure. He has had a lot of time to practice.
This was kinda bad. Like someone trying to be Rob Zombie at a talent show.
This was White Zombie. I saw them a year earlier with Pantera and Ozzy. Sean killed the bass
Now that is an epic line up!
thank god for wireless audio systems, these guys can rock the whole stage in different directions. unlike today's metal rock bands,they just stand there without emotions
The difference is that a lot of bands today aren't just playing muted e5 or d5 on the downbeats with silence in between. Outside of running around, there's not a lot going on for the guitar in white zombie. Bands today are putting more technicality into their riffs. You aren't running around much with modern compositions.
Now I hear what’s missing (in addition to Rob’s breath). In the studio version, that synth part at the beginning plays throughout the verses. But for this live version, they either took it out because it was too hard to keep time with, or it got completely drowned out in the mix. And that leaves the mostly-one-note bass line to carry the verses.
I remember looking forward to this performance as a 14 year-old, because White Zombie were pretty much the only metal band MTV would play during the daytime. For what it’s worth, I saw them live twice back in the day, and they were awesome both times.
It got taken out cuz they have no one in the band to play it live, dumbass.
@@MrParkerman6 there are foot pedals that can play samples, and their stage crew could also have set it up to play at a certain time, so they certainly COULD have used if, just like they got it to play during the intro. But if they tried that during the verse, they’d have probably fallen off time. It’s the pratfalls of having an extra sound come in and out throughout the song.
It turns out that White Zombie WAS able to include that synth part during the verses when they played live (and that Rob was able to forget the lyrics): ua-cam.com/video/JWM3BGQAKgQ/v-deo.html
So during this MTV performance, the synth either got completely drowned out in the mix, or there was some other equipment issue. Or maybe someone forgot to bring something … like an invisible keyboardist (it happens to the best of us) 😎
I remember watching this air live and they had the synth part in the mix, the band got out of sync with it, and the whole thing sounded like a hot mess. Bad enough that I called friends after to make sure I heard it correctly. "Dude, was it me it did Zombie sound awful?" I think any future airings had things edited to take the out-of-sync backing track removed. And RZ being winded of course. I saw them once on the LA Sexorcisto tour (a young Pantera opened!) and it's still one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
I watched it live as stoked as you but I was 26! I haven't seen this vid since. In the first five seconds I was like - oh yeah this is when Rob ran around like an idiot and ruined all my hopes for White Zombie. La Sexorista / Devil Music Volume 1 is still a top 1o album for me.
What amazing music we Got in the 90s!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The whole band was the bass player!
thnx zombie crew yous hav taught me ha heaps of cool things from 1994,love yous no hugs tho amen!!!!
MTV VMA in the 90s was something that made me learn how to program a VCR to record for.
Darn. or the excellent trip down memory lane. God Bless. 🙏🏻🌎💙
I was just watching this filling my dogs water bowl up and completely forgot about it as the water was overflowing onto the floor...lol. I love Rob Zombie!!!
Saw WZ in LA in 95 and they killed it. Then Glen Danzig came out and they jammed on "Children of the Grave." It was insanely awesome.
A goddess on bass! Sean was one of my first 💘
she's delicious and nutritious
#metoo.
She slayed my teenage heart. I ended up marrying a metal gal, probably because Sean made me do it!
@@tmackn6592 I bet she smells like Lavender and Rose Pedals after a sweaty night of Rocking.
She inspired me to play bass besides Ryan from Mudvayne and Fieldy from KoRn, then just metal music instruments in general that was alt metal/groove metal like Astro Creep 2000, KoRn's Issues and Mudvayne's LD 50 and Staind's Dysfunctional when my step-dad at the time played hella mid to hella late 90s MTV metal on his old VHS tapes and my instant love for metalhead chicks and the culture grew from there lmao
She lives in New Orleans. Met her a couple of times. She’s very nice.
My first crowd surfing experience was at a WZ show in Denver. As I was lifted over the barrier and on to the floor, I was within 3-4 feet of Sean on stage and I got a big smile from her. I was instantly in love.
hard rock 🖤 🤘
I still play this song, my wife says too me "arent you too old for this kinda music" wtf ill never grow out of metal music its passed down threw generations i tell her
The people that say metal was a "fad" only believe that because THEY are trend followers. If you really feel the energy of the music, it is never a fad.
Great song. I gotta say the drums really hold everything together very well. Great drumming.
Rob Zombie is a great studio vocalist. He makes Vince Neil look good.
Ouch
aLL THE tHUMbS
@tongkatable I've seen him live and he was 1000/10 one of the best live performances ever, Rockstar Mayhem Tour in Tulsa. Every other band either played only a couple of songs or censored themselves because every shit/fuck (at least on the main stage) was a $5000 fine cause Oklahoma is stupid. It was right after Five Finger Death Punch walked off stage after only playing like 2.5 songs in protest. Rob Zombie finally got on stage and he yelled Fuck 13 x in a row and the entire crowd went apeshit. It was amazing, he was better live than on record. He doesn't sound good on this show, he was probably fucked up, but when I saw him live he was totally phenomenal and I was front row. You can feel the heat off the pyrotechnics, it was outdoors. Shock rock is meant for live performances. The only band that I enjoyed more live was Gwar.
Rob is an example of a studio musician. Much like the studio rappers. They piece together decent takes to make it sound ok but as soon as they have to perform it, they flop.
He was into samples and many many takes. Not a good idea for a metal band seeking to play live. And definitely not good if you plan on jumping around like a cheerleader.
I'm glad I grew up listening to 90s music, it definitely influenced my personal creative efforts.
same here
Miss White Zombie! Song still kicks ass ❤️🤘🍻🎤🎸🪕🥁
The first compact disc I ever bought with my own money as a 14 year old. Still in my top 5.
I saw them in 1996 in Houston. They opened for Pantera at the Summit. They played the most mesmerizing show I've ever seen. 15,000 people tranced out watching them.
I caught them just before that when they came with the Melvens. I was right against the stage looking up at Sean for a moment.
Saw that tour in Florida 🤘
Saw that tour at Riverport. St. Louis. Took a 2.5 hour drive to get there. Dropped a sunshine and one of my buddys prescription lithium pills. 2.5 hours later and I never took one drink off my quart of Old Milwaukee. Man I was fried. Felt like a 10 minute drive.
@@midwestmafia8391 Blue Sunshine?
I think White Zombie headlined that tour outside of Texas.
This guy, and his band too, are fun personified! ;D
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!!
This is the best looking and sounding version of this performance and I have seen many over the last 25 years. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks!
The version on Letterman blows this away!
Wow, this is the best live version? Thats sad
@@quadzmotooffroad2904 boy fans must have been thru SOO much!! 😳
@@lueysixty-six7300 critical brain damage and/or extremely shitty taste for instance
Saw these guys open for Pantera back in the day- one of the best metal shows I've ever been to (back then).
Saw that same concert!
It must have been pretty damn epic to see Pantera and White Zombie in the same venue. I would have been so psyched!!!
@@tcw4731 I saw White Zombie at least 2-3 times between 94-97. With Pantera was by far the best. The other times they had different bands open for them- like one time they had The Toadies and The Supersuckers (punk band) open for them. With Pantera it was a packed house, and I got the wind knocked out of me, and a lot of bumps and bruises from surfing the pit- landed on my ass on the concrete floor, got stomped on by several people. Good times. I couldn't do that now in my upper 40's, I'd have to take the rest of the week off to recover, haha.
@@djmurp2 yup, they did a whole tour. I was sooo glad I got to see Pantera looking back. Little did we know we'd lose Dimebag not long after😞
Saw the same show. Totally agree. Still one of my top metal concerts.
Forever ❤🔥
Wild that Rob is so much better vocalist today than back then!
My first show on the road as a musician was a gigantic reality kick in the face when it came to realizing how much hard work had to be done by me in order to be in shape to play a bigger stage,run/jump/dance around and do backing vocals...let alone take lead vocals.
Absolutely!! I used to be very active while singing regularly but I cannot do that anymore. It’s no joke. I’d have to start a workout program to get ready for a big show now. It’s just not a skill you keep unless you do it frequently.
Se nota que es un gran cantante por qué desde las primeras líneas lo entrega todo y con todo su aliento
Saw these guys live with Korn in Anaheim back in the day. It was ……… epic
omg she is absoutley beautful
I always regretted not seeing these guys live...
Until now.
