Rob Zombie biografia

Rob Zombie is an American musician, film director, screenwriter and film producer best known as a founding member of White Zombie.

Rob grew up in Haverhill, Massachusetts and had an obsession with horror films from a young age and stated that he always "wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Bela Lugosi, and Stan Lee". His parents worked in the carnival trade, so Rob had a taste of the eccentric from the very beginning however they decided to leave after a riot broke out in the tents one evening. Rob co-founded the band that would become known as White Zombie with his girlfriend at the time Sean Yseult. Zombie's music heavily draws influence from classic horror films and suspense films. He has listed Alice Cooper, KISS, Queen, and Elton John as some of his influences growing up.

White Zombie self released their first LP 'Soul-Crusher' in 1987 and followed this in 1989 with 'Make Them Die Slowly', neither release earned the band any commercial success. Undeterred, the band continued to record material and their first hit single came in the form of 'Thunder Kiss '65' which was featured on popular MTV show 'Beavis & Butt-head'. Their next album 'La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol.1' was a commercial success in both the US and Canada and has now sold over two million copies. White Zombie ended on a high with their final album 'Astro-Creep: 2000 – Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head' which charted within the top 10 of the US album charts.

Rob had already begun writing solo material before the band's break up and his LP 'Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales Of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside The Spookshow International' was released in 1998. It was a commercial hit, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 121,000 overshadowing any of White Zombie's previous releases. All five of Rob's solo efforts have charted top 10 in the States and three are certified gold selling. Rob has pursued a number of other media outlets over his career, he has done voice over work in films including 'Slither', 'Super' and 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' and has directed 'Halloween' and 'The Lord Of Salem'.

Marilyn Manson biografia

Brian Hugh Warner, better known as Marliyn Manson is an American musician, songwriter and multimedia artist from Ohio who has worked in fields including music, film and art.

Manson's first exposure to the music industry came whilst he was studying a journalism degree at Broward Community College in Florida, to gain experience he got a job working for 25th Parallel Magazine. He met several musicians including Nine Inch Nails, The Perfect and Trent Reznor who went on to inspire his own musical stylings in the future. Manson began to make music with guitarist Scott Putesky under the name Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids, they later shortened it to just Marilyn Manson and continued to create demos and play small gigs.

In 1993, the band won the attention of Trent Reznor who agreed to release their first album on his label 'Portrait Of An American Family', it was not a commercial success at the time but has now sold over 600,000 copies in the US. This album gained the band a cult following when they toured it around the States. The follow up EP Smells Like Children and their first MTV hit in the form of a cover of Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' increased their fan base dramatically ahead of their second album release. 'Antichrist Superstar' has sold over seven million copies worldwide to date and became the turning point in the band's career, the combination of Manson as an eccentric frontman and the warped lyrics found in their discography turned their live shows into a cult phenomena which toured all over the world.

Manson has also worked within the film industry, making his debut in 1997 'Lost Highway' that was directed by David Lynch and has had minor roles in a number of films during his career. He is known as a controversial figure in the mainstream media due to his gothic appearance and demonic lyrics which are said to have a negative effect on his young listeners.

Orgy biografia

ORGY emerged in the Goth music scene in 1998 with their incredible remake of ‘Blue Monday’. The track sold over 1 million copies and is still selling 20 years later.

Orgy has built a worldwide audience for the brand. In late 2005, after the release of the D1 Music and Associates Punk Statik Paranoia PSP and their D1 Music /DLC Records Independent “TRANS GLOBAL SPECTACLE” DVD promotional tour the band went on a hiatus to work on their side projects. In 2011, after seven years of demand from fans for new music and a tour, founding member Jay Gordon (vocals) decided it was time to kick things back up and begin recording and touring again in support of ORGY’s fans.

Born in San Francisco, CA, Jay Gordon was heavily influenced by music from a young age. After playing bass for several years and working as a producer and engineer on several albums (including Coal Chamber’s self-titled album and others), Jay was introduced to four other musicians who, with him, would eventually form ORGY. After establishing themselves in the scene, the band was noticed by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis and signed to Elementree/Reprise records. Jay did an incredible remix of the Linkin Park song Points of Authority, which was the first video and single off of The Reanimation album and sold an incredible 7.1 million upon release. Jay went on producing and working in the studio with multiple artists. After many unsuccessful attempts to reconnect with each other, they decided to go their separate ways.

A Rob Zombie concert isn’t just about the music, it’s about the presentation! RZ puts on a SHOW! In the past there have been pyrotechnics and giant video monitors.

I’ve seen RZ 10 times total and no show has ever disappointed. He is just as awesome outdoors at Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH in front of 30,000 as indoors in Sioux City, IA at a much smaller indoor venue. Shows vary, depending on RZ’s current album.

Obviously the songs changed from MARS NEEDS WOMEN when VENOMOUS RAT came out. I loved the JESUS FRANKENSTEIN opening a couple years ago, but TEENAGED NOSFERATU explodes when RZ has opened his shows in 2013. The only downside is RZ can’t play ALL of the songs you love. Hits like SUPERBEAST, DRAGULA, LIVING DEAD GIRL, MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN, PUSSY LIQUOR, THUNDER KISS ’65, NEVER GONNA STOP, MEET THE CREEPER and SICK BUBBLEGUM are played at every concert. Most recently TEENAGED NOSFERATU, WE’RE AN AMERICAN BAND, and DEAD CITY RADIO have been making the cut.

The showmanship is awesome to behold. RZ dances around, taunts his robots, shoots fire bursts into the air and enters the audience. Even if you know he’s coming RZ manages to just appear among his fans. Just try and keep up and snap his picture. Guitarist JOHN 5 and Bassist PIGGY D are electrifying in their makeup and costumes and are two of the sweetest guys in metal. I saw them interact with fans at the RZ tent in Chicago last year and you could not ask for more fan friendly band members.

I got the chance to meet RZ and the band and have my photo taken with them at the Sioux City show last November. SO worth it if you get the opportunity. RZ concerts are always high energy. I love RZ! My absolute favorite show was the TWINS OF EVIL tour he did with MARYLIN MANSON. I wish they would do that again. You need to experience ROB ZOMBIE!

Marilyn Manson still rocking cultness and creativity. Though Marilyn Manson's concerts seem best fitted for a small to medium size venue, he nonetheless continues to deliver the goods. I have seen him multiple times in multiple venues and sizes of such, from GA/standing room only in the lobby of another theatre, to midway back in a moderate-sized arena and in the pit almost as close as the stage itself at a summer festival. Theatricality continues to be a vital and integral part of any given set. Not only that, but with something always in the bag of tricks and a campy wardrobe, Manson is never the same man twice. Depending on the theme of the album he tours in support of, he rocks duds to pair with the music in question and also utilises matching stage props. Still, Manson sings a healthy cross section of songs old and new, always with a dark ambiance as is evident in the instrumentation. His backup band has included numerous members coming and going along the way such as Madonna Wayne Gacy aka Pogo on keyboards, drummer Ginger Fish and guitarist John 5, the latter two of whom have also worked with Rob Zombie, and Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna. Regardless, Manson has always handpicked, toured and recorded with a truly star studded cast. Wailing, intricate guitar solos combine with electronics and thumping bass and drum beats, resulting in a satisfying performance!

Synth rock is an extremely exciting genre of music for me, and Orgy’s adaptation of the style to what they have coined ‘death pop’ is an innovative manipulation and fusion of genres. Their catchy tunes and choruses reminiscent of mainstream pop music encourage the audience to dance and sing along, which has the band in an ideal position for putting on great shows.
Although the line up has changed since their hiatus, Jay Gordon has held together the roots of the band, and along with their new member, their authenticity hasn’t been lost at all, and their shows are as strong as they ever were. To remind everyone of this, they opened the show with the track Blue Monday, from way back in 1998. The crowd was full predominantly of long time fans, so we were all singing along to the famous song.
Their talents on their respective instruments are incredible, and the guitar solo battles had everyone screaming for more. When they played their tracks from Punk Statik Paranoia, they encouraged everyone to sing along, and taught us some lines of the chorus, and held out the microphone when we got to them. The performance was like nothing I’d seen before, band members jumping off the stage, guitar solos with epic dancing, and s really tight and competent band.
