I really believe that Jay more than Rob is actually the biggest reason why people still love White Zombie, whether they're conscious of it or not. Jay's guitar work really made White Zombie what it was and I've never heard anyone else get that unique, absolutely crushing tone he had. Seriously underrated musician. I wish he continued after the band broke up.
I don't like a single thing Rob has done since WZ broke up. You're 100% correct.
Without a doubt you're right. Whether it's the beginning of I am Legend, or the main riff from Creature of the Wheel, his work is on heavy rotation in my mind at times.
I wouldn’t say “crushing” by no means.
@@GypsyDanger514 Just for the sake of respectful argument, who would you say does have a "crushing tone" by your definition?
Absolutely, I feel they could have been bigger than rob's solo career, which I don't really care for besides a hand full of songs
Sean, Ivan, and Jay; Please, please, PLEASE do a project together(without Rob). We miss you guys(as a collective)!!!
That would be dope!
I wish
I know I'm late, but yes please!
They should do a new album together without Rob. I'd buy it and I'm betting alot of people would buy it regardless of the singer
Fingers crossed! That would so bad ass!
Rob needs to put his differences aside and join them. But I doubt he's got the chops he used to have so it may not be the same anyways.
If not a new album, at least a reunion tour. You can tell these guys miss playing together and Rob really did hurt them.
J produced an ep or single for Sean’s band Star and Dagger, played a solo on one of the songs too. Definitely a band worth looking into, they rocked.
Yeah totally would.
Devil music vol 1 is a highly underrated album. White zombie was always better than robs solo work.
I love his solo work, but it’s a little too overboard. Got it, you’re into horror movies.
Absolutely 💯
It's one of those albums you can listen to from start to finish.
Jay is a very underrated Riff master
La Sexorcisto is a goddamn treasure trove of hooks and riffs on his guitar. I worship this album from the early 90's til this day. Hell, Sean's why I became a bassist in the first place!
Indeed
yes, he is a six string beast.
Soul Crusher was one of my faves but I Am Legend is just beautiful, too.
No kidding. I always dug Jay's riffage on this album. Always wondered what happened to him after WZ. I had just started playing bass not too long before I discovered them and I was infatuated with Sean at the time. The first nice bass I bought was an Iceman because of her!
I respect Rob Zombie's output as an artist in music and film. So I sincerely do say this with all due respect, but his solo career PALES in comparison to what the (imo) classic line-up of White Zombie achieved with just this one album. It's up there with Master of Puppets, Paranoid and countless other metal staples. Fucking timeless.
I agree 100% I can barely listen to his techno disco solo stuff with his faux high voice. I didn't like Astrocreep either because he changed the way he sang and the band changing from groove metal to industrial, and I use these terms loosely.
I concur. Never really got into Rob's solo stuff. Astrocreep was good, but nothing beats LaSexorcisto! I go back to this album all the time. There was nothing like it at the time and honestly, there still isn't.
Exactly....that album is a masterpiece, this generation have no idea of what WZ represented back in the day. The guitar tone, the bass, drums, everything sounded so perfect. I was lucky enough to watch them along with Pantera on the War of the Garguantas tour
100% facts.
I feel like Rob is probably a cool guy but I don't care for the majority of his music.
To open for Slayer and survive to play your whole 46 minutes being an opening act is a testament to the originality of White Zombie
Pfft. Everyone talks about slayer like they're something. Saw them in concert, and wasn't impressed. Pantera I saw ten times and I'm very surprised I survived 🤟
Slayer? Please 😂
Dude, you are the fucking man of the year for getting these 3 together ! I have listened to it twice already !!!
Frank did us all a great service!
Agreed \m/
Yes, I'm only halfway through this, and I'm having so much fun already. I'm going to definitely be sharing this with some friends.
I second that, thanks so much.
Repeat listener here as well.
They look so good together on screen. I hope they realize how important their presence together is.
I hope they do too
This is what I’m saying. It meant a lot for a lot of us and they don’t even know. I feel like I’m seeing my old best friends again that got me through the worst part of my life.
@@Peeziejizzle and they genuinely seemed to enjoy reconnecting. They have chemistry. They also have great musical chemistry. It's hard to know what you've got. They are also just people too. Ivan is a cool genuine dude. Sean and Jay seem that way as well. Hopefully they see some of the adoration that we have for them and it strikes a chord.
They have to - Sean was White Zombie.
This is the closest thing to a reunion we’ll ever get. Thank you.

Will never forget going to buy Astrocreep as a 15year old in 99, probably on the back of the whole Rob Zombie Dragula thing, and walking up to the counter and the cool chick that worked there asked me if I liked La Sexorcisto. I told her I only knew More Human Than Human and she MADE me put Astrocreep back and MADE me get La Sexorcisto. Pretty big watershed moment in my life 🤘
Wicked interview, i seriously wish it went for longer haha
That's such a cool moment. And good on her! If only we still had cashiers with that kind of drive. I'd like to think they're still out there.
That chick was marriage material right there...
Why did you wait until 99 to buy it? It came out in 95.
@@j.t.cooper2963 I was 15 and had a job. Bit hard to buy it at 10 years of age.
God damn it I miss the record store experience. It's just so depressing knowing we'll never have that again
I always thought Jay was seriously underrated. His licks on La Sexicisto were epic. Soooo many tempo changes from groove to thrash. The lyrics are complete mumbo jumbo and merely word play. I love it.
J is such an amazing god damn guitar player, he is one of the most underrated of the 90's, his sound was so important to white zombie.
For sure, I still want one of those Icemans with the stars haha
One of the only albums I own on every format it was released on, this album blew my 14 yr old mind when it came out, still one of my top records till this day
My older brother brought home 3 cds that blew my mind. Ministry, tool and white zombie💥💣💥 it was to much for 13 year old me too handle
I had it on 8track
@@markdesselles7737 really? That's crazy
Same here. My Discman always with me.
@@cajuncoonass5053 remember when the headphone jack would go bad and the music would cut out?
Sean was the prettiest and strongest female presence in the 90s. She was total inspiration for many females I knew at the time. As a male musician I think she is highly underrated.
Upvote farming via gender🤣.
You tried, you failed 🤦♂️
@@shannongerbeswtf? English, do you speak it
This!
And she could actually play. One of the best bass players in that genre. A lot of bass players in Thrash bands are barely audible. I could always hear her thundering away.
I remember being like 12 and seeing her on the cover of my brother's Astrocreep 2000 album and I was in awe of her. I wanted to be her.
Awesome to see them together and getting along, we'll minus the grumpy one. WZ will never go away. La Sexorcisto has some of the best groves in metal. Sean and Ivan really were the most underrated rhythm section in 90's metal.
This was totally heartbreaking. Totally opened my eyes to Rob Zombie’s character.The band was everything. Rob could barely even sing his vocals live.
He's a dick. He was good at hiding his shifty behavior. He has no musical talent but was able to convince the real musicians they needed him. When he thought he had something better, he kicked them all to the curb without a glance back. None had seen him in person since the year before, the day by phone he broke the band up. These were his friends to. Now he's trying to re-record White Zombie albums to screw them out of royalties. Three can play at that game. They should get a new singer and re-record all their albums without Rob.
"M'yeah"
yeah live rob is talented man in art too movies like or hate man shocked guy talkin didnt truth tell how they all had huge crush on her man made her feel great i bet sad rob just had the god complex n films of old art ideas in mind but ego pushed all away just like marilyn man ironic 2 huge guys in famous basnds i knew manson 1991 age 12 myt 13 n 14 12 16 25 year old friends can only hand if gave him oral n jerked him they moved on but ptsd from hearin mm band still legit as i was 12 early 1991 he was not sex symbol nor impressive was in mm and the spooky kids i love best n 1st main album he blew up man odd think of it kids adults im 44, i love am in black raw black metal bands! but since 2013 members died or were farce try hard nsbm nazis n i older them teens sheep losers cos i was not sheep i say be the wolf even lone wolf yet in our band suffer the pack man to do wtf we all invision
@glamsterscrypt2 No.
@glamsterscrypt2they could of just kicked her out. Rob just gets sick of people and thinks cause he's the front guy that he can move without him. His music has never been good without them. There's a few songs but it's weird how he left white zombie. And all three of these members are getting along great and seem happy to see each other but of course there's no Rob Zombie. He acts like he just stumbled through life and became famous. When you hear his interviews he says he got an offer from some record company and he didn't sign it and then Geffen gave them the deal I think. They have a lot of good songs before la sexorcisto. Where can you buy the older white zombie CD's like make them for slowly?
Classic interview, too bad for Rob, he missed out. Truth is WZ is by far better than anything else Rob has ever done.
Soul Crusher is still one of the nastiest metal song ever written. One of the best metal albums ever made. Legends.
Agreed!!! Soul Crusher is a killer riff!
Hellyea!
Right? When that verse riff drops. Every time I hear it I slap my shit in gear and floor it. Songs going to get me arrested one day lol
LOVE how Ivan's kick and high-hat fade in and then go straight into that 16th note thing. UGH! DIRT NASTY
The best band members in the world right here. I’ve been a Zombie since the age of 8. 30 years now. Happy anniversary to WZ and La Sexorcisto.
Sick.
39 here and yea White Zombie holds a special place for me… best in the world fuck no that goes to Panfuckingtera.
From the riffs to the drums Rob Zombie has not made an album even close to that since. Those 3 made the band. It's a masterpiece!
It's because White Zombie and Rob Zombie aren't even close to the same bands. That is why there are 2 bands. The 4 of them hated each other from the get go if you listen to older interviews from them.
@@adamvalerio1377 Exactly. It's not all because of Rob. The others wouldn't get along as a band, even without Rob. They recorded all of their parts on Astro-Creep at separate times, so none of them had to be in the studio at the same time with one another. They would reportedly go their own separate ways, without speaking, after playing a show. None of them could even get together in the same room to do this interview. So, the bottom line is, they may have sounded good together, but they still didn't get along no matter how successful they became. So, Rob said, "F*** it. I'm out." Whether you like his solo work as well or not, how can you blame him?
Hellbilly Deluxe while different than White Zombie is just as bad ass.
Great seeing them all together! Everyone trying to talk about tension with Rob without being disrespectful is classy and a little heartbreaking. Glad they're all staying busy.
Great to see these guys together again and so friendly. J is an Awesome guitarist.
All really down to earth..
Ad a teen I wanted to play like J. I got one of his guitar picks in 1996. I've seen them live 3 times and always the best shows I've ever seen.
This was such a great interview, kudos to the host and especially addressing the elephant in the room. White Zombie IS Jay’s riffs and the Sean/Ivan rhythm section. Anyone can sing like Rob. How cool would it be if they reunited with a new singer?
You mean anyone could sing better than Rob 😋
he only sounded good in the studio. I have yet to find a live White Zombie video where he didn't sound like complete shit. He was all show and zero substance while he had this amazing driving force behind him.
@@anthonyjordan830 Yeah, I like the parts where he breathes heavily into the mic and then sits on a PA the rest of the song.
The way he wrote for records really limited him live. At most he could get out every other line.
Meh. Let the past be the past. They're all in their fifties now. It wouldn't be the same. As the album goes... Let sleeping corpses lie.
I hope they see this but I grew up with you, watched you on headbangers ball, had a terrible terrible childhood and you guys really really helped me man. You guys and pantera and Type O and all that. I can’t thank you guys enough for giving me that music. It feels like long lost friends all getting together. I’m onLydia 42 man so it was just like yesterday.
I'm not any of them, but I feel ya Paul. La Sexorcisto was my hell nut butter and lava jam! Helped me put my hate where it belonged, into the sky and out of my soul... Mostly😁👊🤘
I love Tempesta but Ivan’s drumming grooves better for me personally
Both Devils music and Astro Creep were total different sounding albums so it's hard to compare Ivan and John's style.
@@trendmassacre8423 Not hard to compare. Devil music had more riffs, and Astro creep went more in a industrial direction.
Yeah, agreed
John was stiff
Jay is one of the most amazing metal guitarists ever. His work on Soul Crusher is absolutely mind blowing.
Make them die slowly, devil music vol 1, and ASTRO creep 2000 are master pieces
Hell yeah Let them die slowly doesn't get the love it deserves but it's a badass album. I still have the original CD and the review for it from a RIP magazine from 1989
@@Beelzebubba2823 the songs played live off that album sounds so incredible with J playing guitar especially the song godslayer it's a great album

@@Beelzebubba2823 there's a show on RUclips it's just the audio it's in 1989 in Texas the first song is disaster Blaster and the last song they play is godslayer I put a set list in the comments so you can see what songs they play
@@dylanbarnett6099 kool thanks man
I appreciate yalls time, white zombie is my all time favorite band, I names my son after J.

This interview cost me 130 bucks. I went and bought a couple vintage White Zombie shirts I used to own but no longer have. Lol.
I still own my zombie and pantera shirts

I seen WZ & Pantera in 96 sure wish I still had the Zombie shirt I bought that night the back glowed in the dark, so cool!
I would also love to see a reunion roundtable with the living members of Type O Negative
they could do some tribute shows with the Croatian guy who does all the type o covers on youtube.
@@joesmith9216 no!!! God no
That'd be awesome!
I think Josh doesn't have anything to do with music anymore, but that'd be great to see those 3 together
@@keithheames992 Yeah I forgot Josh is a paramedic, he'd never go back to music before he fully retires I bet, he's gotta be pushing 60 anyway.
Sean Yseult = first metal crush at 17.
Nabbed a Bass pick at Oak Mtn Amphitheater in Bham Alabama.
Good times. Thanks for the music.
I saw those shows there. There was that whole thing where local people were up in arms because they saw it all as Satanism and it made the local news.
Same. I had a major crush on Sean. She was so cool and cute all at once.😂
I was a teenager when la sexorcisto came out and I used to go the tower record store in Mexico city to listen to that cd, it blew my mind. I had to safe money to buy it, I was really obsessed. All the drawings, the colors their looks.
Ahuevo! El Tower de Altavista?
I met Sean in Dublin the day before they played at the Sunstroke festival in 96. She signed the tickets and was so nice to chat to. I was tying my shoes laces and noticed a head of bright green hair walk past and noticed it was her. Fantastic to meet one of the band. it was an epic gig.
Imagine that Sean Yseult has been standing next to strangers at Target, picking out a new shower curtain, and they had no idea who she was and the role she played in 1990's rock and roll.
I would shit myself
Brewed up a tall coffee, got cozy and just watched this start to finish, glued. Holy hell, man, this brought me a lot of joy. thank you for putting this together.
Thanks Frank for giving these 3 the opportunity to talk about their amazing time together! Much respect to all of you. I've been championing this conversation for almost a year and it's really awesome to see it happen! It would have been completely different if Rob had shown up. Even though J did most of the talking, this special event officially set the record straight for the fans that may have been wondering just what happened to these guys?
I can't overstate how much I love this band. I saw Thunderkiss '65 on Beavis and Butthead back in 1993 or '94 and bought the album the next day. All these years later it's still in my top 10 albums of all-time. Ivan's drumming is so groovy. Sean's bass performance (along with Paul D'Amour's on Undertow) is the standard by which I judge every rock and metal bass player I hear. Jay's riffs on this album are just non-stop one killer riff after another. If I want to make comparisons to his work on this album I have to call up names like James Hetfield, Dimebag and Toni Iommi but none of them are as groovy as Jay's playing. Dude's one of my great guitar heroes. I still dream of owning on of his crazy signature Iceman guitars some day. I was crushed when they broke up but their music is immortal.
Ivan brought thr funk then was replaced on Astro Creep
This interview has healed a decades-old wound to my soul. I loved White Zombie...they genuinely rocked, they made me feel good and made my life bearable. I remember when I heard/saw Rob solo, it was just so corny, weak & bogus...I felt deflated, crushed, like I'd been betrayed, scammed, ripped off. These guys all seem completely authentic. Thank you sincerely for this.
I saw White Zombie open for Anthrax back in the early 90s. Ivan took off his Rollins Band shirt and threw it into the crowd. I caught it and still have it!
Fuckin Cool! 🤘🔥
That's awesome!
It’s when John bush was singing for anthrax? Great show. I saw it at red rocks in Denver.
Sean's bass lines and tone is to die for!
I'm friends with Ivan since 2014. He's so nice and humble. Gives the best hugs. I lost all respect for Rob after I read what he did to the band. Ivan' never says bad word about anyone! I would have love to met Sean!
I've never followed them much just listened to their music what did he exactly do I'm curious ??
@@kylehunt9668 Ivan never said bad things but Rob is an asshole. They made the path for him and he has no respect for people who got him famous. Called them his shitty garage band. Ivan is one of kindest people I have ever met!! He's a cool guy!
@@disturbedbiatch9032 it's karma though, he shit all over the band that made him famous, and now he's destined to make shit music for the rest of his life.
I've never really heard the inside story as to why Ivan left. I suppose Rob Cummings was introducing more industrial sounding beats and movie samples etc? Ivan de Plume has a groovy swing beat and John Tempesta is a pretty solid thrash metal drummer. I guess the logical progression for Rob was to go industrial e.g. drum machine etc.? I think Astro Creep is great though. If "Make them die Slowly" had the same quality of production, I think that album would've blown up
@@martanoconghaile There's always more to the story. Ivan had good reason to leave.
I used to read Jay's column in Guitar World magazine all the time back in the mid 90s. He gave some great advice in those articles. Hugely underrated player.
Didn’t they do a series with him for I Am Legend or was that just one of his columns.
Not sure. Jay had a monthly column in Guitar World for awhile in the 90s. @@neplusultra4196
I whammy dived his guitar live at a small club in 1992 and heard it through the P.A I was front row small stage was Stellar he was cool with it 💫🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵📶📶📶📶📶🤘🏼
Recently, I mentioned seeing a White Zombie/Pantera gig back in the day to a couple of 20-somethings. They all gasped. I felt like Neil Armstrong.
i was there
If not for Rob, We'd possibly still have this awesome band.
Without Rob they would have never been a band.
They could have went on without Rob... But they didn't, just shows how important Rob to the band. White Zombie was Rob's band.
Rob helped the band and the band helped Rob. It was fate. Unfortunately they went too hard and fizzled out. Take your mental health seriously in a band, people. This is a classic example of what not to do.
If not for Rob, we'd have NEVER had this awesome band. Come on dude, think. LOL
@@grimmseti seems you and the others missed the point of my comment and it went right passed you. If not for Rob giving up the band to pursue his own career, we'd still have this band..
47:40 can we all give Ivan a hug? Means a lot to see these three get together and get along chatting about the good ol' days. I never got to experience White Zombie at their peak. Got to experience Robert and it was fine but was really there to hopefully hear the WZ songs which thankfully got played. Still though, these three cool guys are just so wholesome and down to earth, how can you not love em? Thank you for this Frank & Metal Injection! Saint.
I love White Zombie. The mix of raw metal with horror sound clips just made for an awesome vibe that just isn’t out there today.
Glenn Danzig and Rob Zombie convinced themselves that people listened to their bands because of them and not the awesome musicians playing there. Losing both classic lineups was such a tragedy
Not really.
@@billriddle9215 Really. Rob said on record that their fans only came to see him at concerts, and that's why he didn't need to pay his original band mates fairly.
Exactly!!!.....Rob Zombie Is a total trainwreck, and Danzig......pfff....not worth mentioning!!!......fak'em!!!
No, Not really, Jerry only was the um only guy who really had wanted to bring his band back around 1996 and he actually had to confront glenn to do it. But yeah, Jerry one and hes been legendary for it since then. Yes for so many years now Jerry has been the one and only voice of his band and everyone around has always sort of thanked him for it. When Jerry first got started he had hired a singer or two to do it but everything he has ever done since he was able to take over for them completly. The whole world would miss him if he wasnt here anymore and thats just fact. The sad thing to say about him is he is getting old now.
Danzig put out better solo records than Misfits I thought.
Grooviest metal band of the 90s. And that says a lot.
I was so excited to see this reunion! 👏🏿 Big shout out to the interviewer for allowing the dialogue to flow naturally. You rarely get to hear how the rest of the members contributed to their own band/sound. There will never be another White Zombie 🔥
J is a legend in the Metal World. To this day nobody has a sound like he had.
I can't like this enough!!!! I was lucky enough to see White Zombie 3 times and play with bands such as the Ramones, Deftones, Pantera, Reverend Horton Heat, the Melvins. Wow I miss those days!
You are my best friend now
Rev. HORTON Heat was another Badass!
This video both makes me smile, and makes me sad. These guys are such professionals, and they are the REAL White Zombie. You can really tell how much the band meant to them. "La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One", is one of my desett island albums. It's too bad that Rob thinks that he's a director because he's the only thing standing in the way of a reunion. Thanks for this, brother! This really takes me back.
I can't believe how young and healthy J looks lol... He looks so different, but its good to see all these folks well... One of my favorite bands. One of the best Concerts I ever saw was White Zombie, co-headlining with Pantera at Louisville Gardens in 1996.
Reminds me of when I watched some pictures of Jim Martin from FNM playing with Infectious Grooves some years ago, I couldn’t believe it was him
@@Malum09 Yeah that guy completely transformed too lol. Sure am glad to See J doing so well though.. He was always one of my favorite riff masters... That slide riff, and the rhythm guitar stuff in More Human than Human is some of my favorite guitar work ever.
Best guitar tone ever... A lot of people Talk about Dime's tone.. and it was great for sure.. but nothing beat the crunch and fullness of the guitars on Astro Creep
Same here
He cut his hair off and shaved… gained 50lbs of dad fat too lol
That album means so much to me, Thunderkiss was the song that got me into Metal and when I bought the album I was completely blown away at the entire thing as a whole... i love Rob, don't get me wrong, but damn was cool just to see these 3 getting to tell their side of the story...you can tell it was really cathartic for them, especially Ivan...
Great opportunity and a special interview
ASTRO creep 2000 was very relevant and avant-garde at the time. Loved this album.
That was a good interview, what an album that was. Rob blew it lol , his solo music never makes the rounds on any of my playlists. Sexorcisto is still just as awesome as it was in 92 when i forst heard it
Seen White Zombie outside of Pittsburgh around the late 90's,one of the best live acts ever. Lifelong fan here.
Glad to see that Sean still looks great 👍
I dug WZ so I bought Nativity in Black just for their Children of The Grave cover and then started really listening to Sabbath more. Fav concerts were WZ with Pantera. Also the B&B CD just cause of WZ. Bought the guitar tab book too for La Sexorcisto. Still one of my favorite albums of all time.
Can't leave out escape la and airheads soundtracks
Right, kinda like the ‘Masters of Misery’ Sabbath tribute had the GODFLESH cover of Zero the Hero.. good stuff
I don’t know what that had to do with WZ.. but oh well
Pantera was the first concert I ever went to and WZ was the second! Gawd those were great times. I was like 17 and 18…I think
Great interview with one of my fave bands, and the intervewer is perfect. Lets them talk without interrupting, and then moves it along with the perfect questions. Awesome job and great NYC memories.
I absolutely love White Zombie and still listen and I’m 59! Sean, Ivan and Jay are THE reason. I remember saying I was going to see them when in Chicago no matter what!!! Saw the WZ/Pantera show and was blown away by those three powerful musicians. I remember loving the show but thinking Rob wasn’t a very good live singer. Long Live WHITE ZOMBIE❤❤❤❤
Yes...awesome album saw WZ & Pantera on TGSTK tour in 96 Louisville!
I learned to play guitar off of the White Zombie albums, effin love these guys!
Man, Rob rrrrreeeeaaalllly doesn't come out of this looking well. Great interview, love these three!!!
I owned 2 copies of La Sexorcisto, one for home and one for my car.
I don’t race without it. It’s the greatest driving album of all time IMO.
Haha I have cd, cassette and now vinyl
These 3 need to grab a singer and make a new album under a different name asap, because we all know Rob won't do any reunion shows!
Rob always sucked live anyway. Like a Doom Metal Vince Neil: "sings" every other other word while gasping for air and trying not to collapse in between.
@@FortessofShred yet still tried to run all over the place. what a waste. they were so good.
He uses a lot of vocal effects anyway. I would totally listen to more of their riffs.
Thanks so much for doing this interview. It takes me back to the good times I had in the 1990s as a music fan and a musician. To me, that melding pot of the genres of heavy music that happened in the 1990s saved the music scene of that time. White Zombie was a huge part of that. Seriously, I distinctly remember at the latter end of the 1980s how heavy music was in a state of slow death by the commercialization of hard rock. The other option was the more extreme forms of Speed and Death Metal, which I couldn't get into at all. Then as the early 1990s started to take form, genres began to merge into a more alternative form of heavy music: Grunge, Alternative Rock, Industrial, Groove Metal, Goth Metal, SoCal Punk. It was a total mix of styles and for the first time it all seemed to fit under one umbrella. You could listen to NoFX and Rancid, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, Ministry, White Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Rosetta Stone and it was all cool. And you could play a gig as a band and have 3 bands with their own style of heavy music and it would all still work-- one band may be more Punk, another Noise Metal, another Power Pop. I doubt we will ever see a music scene like that again, though I really hope that we do. Listening to this reunion interview of Sean, Ivan, and J... it takes me right back to that time. Thank you for bringing these 3 together. I enjoyed every second of this interview.
This was/is my group favorite from riffs to everything. Miss you. Thank you for the great memories.
I'm glad you guys are doing well. Thanks for talking to us, and thanks for the tunes.
Sean Yseult is as equally underrated as a contributing part of the WZ sound as is Jay's guitar work. She also inspired me to take up bass 🎸
I am happy to admit to being a bit of an unapologetic Fan Boy, but those riffs are intense!! 😳🤪🥰
I started playing bass guitar because of her too
Great to hear about this great band I grew up with in NYC.
White zombie will forever stand out for me. Thanks to them I got deeper into metal and all other areas of metal.
They were one of those bands that broaden my metal experience when I was getting into metal just from hearing Metallica, Pantera and Megadeth. They showed me that there was more styles of metal. AstroCreep 2000 was the album for me until now that I jam to.
Pioneers! They are nothing less than pioneers, thanks for putting up with Rob for so many years 😂😂😂
"Devil music "LP is my favorite,J, Sean were excellent and Ivan's drumming was superb.
My favorite song is I am Legend. I saw Dimebag Darrell wearing a White Zombie T shirt on the video for Pantera "Walk". Best Wishes to the band and Thank You for all the great music.✌️
Jay's riffs single-handedly got me into metal in my early teens.
love seeing all the comments. This was an amazing interview...thanks to the band for doing it and thanks for asking them to do it!! :)
“La Sexorcisto” is honestly one of my favourite metal albums. Is just so fucking groovy. Ivan, J., and Sean were just so in the pocket with the jam! No room for peanut butter. Just wall to wall jam!
Unfortunately, I don’t like anything else White Zombie ever released. If they had done a couple more albums in that style, they’d be one of my favourite bands of all time.
FUCK I love that album!
Still play it loud!!! 30 years ... 😲i just cant believe it!!!!
Astro Creep is amazing though.
@@curtis8966 Personally, I didn’t like it.
Ivan is an incredible musician, excellent instructor, and a fine human being.
Can't say enough about him.
In 1993 or so I saw WZ in Vancouver and it was awesome... I remember they covered Helter Skelter... I actually snuck a small tape recording device into the show (just for my own memories... not a scalping situation) after the show I bumped into Sean and J outside their bus. My friend and I got hugs from Sean and I asked J for a pick.. he didn't have one on him so he ran on the bus and grabbed me one and gave it to me. They both signed my shirt and my friends bald head (who at the time I drew a Route 666 on it with a felt marker. I still have the pick, shirt and possibly the tape (which I even recorded talking to them) to this day. Def one of my all time favorite bands and albums. Thank you!
“I snuck a small tape recording device into the snow” - Those were the days weren’t they?
I gave it to one of my sisters friends to put down her pants to sneak it in lol.. it was basically a tape deck/walkman type thing that recorded. After she gave it back to me... I ran with it up to our seats and a security guard saw it.. he said WHOA! HOLD IT!... is that a camera? And I said... nah man it's my walkman! and he let me go. Ah well it's not like I was bootlegging it was just for fun. Would have sucked to lose it tho and not have the memory on tape!
La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1 to this day is a great Album/CD. As a fellow Manhattan NY'er musician who 63 yrs young know this to be so true and even know at a time where they rehearsed on 14th st as my band was in another room where we all rented . You'd come out of the elevator and the walls were covered in part with Rob's drawings on the walls. Next thing you knew they were White Zombie. Still that first La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1 is in my opinion a masterpiece of art work and cool songs as we all use to see them live several times at the Limelight my times right looking over the stage.
Iommi is the godfather of riffs, but there are a few guys who for a short while were right there who never got their due.The guitarist for Budgie was one. Jay is another of the all time greats
Fascinating interview! I learned a lot and had fun. Great to see these three -- the best lineup! -- back together again. La Sexorcisto is a masterpiece that only gets better with time.
White Zombie was so refreshing when they came on the scene, there is really nothing else like them. I remember seeing them on one of the late night talk shows and they killed it!
This was very emotional. Thank you for everything you three and even number four.
Sean, Jay and Ivan and this album mean so much to me, thank you!
I was in 6th grade when me and my friend started listening to white zombie. It was when astro creep first dropped and for anyone who was growing up back then white zombie was just such this crazy new monster and nothing sounded like it. Man I had at least 10 different white zombie shirts back then with all the cool rob drawings on them, like the creature of the wheel character and the grease paint and monkey brains character. Fucking epic shirts and I felt so bad ass wearing my white zombie shirt that said 666 real big in red on the back lol. I was sooooooo edgy!! Good times good times. I bought this album after Astro creep though bc I needed more. Back then I liked Astro way more and didn't listen to this album that much at all but it grew on me as I got older. I could never listen to Rob's solo stuff though. It's like using Hunt's spaghetti sauce and telling people it's grandma's homemade recipe. I don't even know what that means but yea.
lol Hunt's spaghetti sauce. Yeah White Zombie was real. I always loved them so much. I try to listen to Rob but it's like listening to a WCW wrestling character trying to make music. It just feels cheesy and corny.
This is awesome! Great seeing them all, I feel like we all aged and Sean didn’t.
Much love to them all. \m/
White Zombie > Rob Zombie
I know! I was just thinking "good god, she's still so hot..."
Hearing Jay say he wasn't confident being a lead guitarist blew my mind. The riffs on La Sexorcisto we in-fucking-sane. If Jay actually reads this... you were such an inspiration for me and my guitar playing, I don't think it would've been White Zombie without you. Much love and respect
I think he meant lead as in solos
This is awesome to see, I saw White Zombie live with Pantera in 96. Really wish you guys would do a live reunion show
Oh f*** yeah I seen them on that tour as well I believe it was Pantera's Great Southern trendkill tour they brought out eyehategod and Deftones along with white zombie killer show man
Same at starplex ( Smirnoff Amphitheater Dallas Tx )
First listening when they came out i instantly connected to the style of singing and music was just wow , still rocking today, would just let it replay over and over riding in my muscle car good old days
J and Sean are riff gods!
Back in 96-97 I did stage hand roadie stuff with White Zombie and Pantera at a venue … WZ was off the hook amazing live. I absolutely love Astro Creep.. being able to watch them live and load their show out will always be a surreal moment for me.. hanging with Pantera and all. That Astro Creep album is a top production album for me. Thanks so much for this interview
Bring it on!!!!! So wish Rob would do a reunion one day. Even though he doesn’t like them, most fans do.
@Ryan Levering he's sort of clueless in that respect. He underestimates how many metalheads would come out of the woodwork to go to a string of reunion shows. Hell, I'd even go to an instrumental show. Not like I ever really truly knew what Rob was saying anyways!
I like Rob zombie. I love white zombie .
A reunited White Zombie would get offered a headliner slot at any festival they wanted to play.
Rob has no problem revisiting and remaking movies…so why not White Zombie??? One can only hope🤟🏻😈🤟🏻
You guys didn't know? Rob hates all of them,there's a lot of bad blood between them and Rob.
Well let me rephrase: there's a lot of bad blood coming from Rob towards them.
These guys are the Heart and Soul of White Zombie.
So awesome
I hope this continues to bring them together.
Thank you to metal injection for this interview. LOVED IT! I absolutely love the part where Sean brings up the bone set and J's looks on in horror like "oh christ, RIGHT!" funny as hell
White zombie is better than any bullshit music rob zombie has done since.
especially la sexorcisto. Astro Creep represents the beginning of the Rob Zombie "less human" era, in my view.
Fuckin right
Hellbilly Deluxe was good enough and that tour was awesome but everything since has just been dogshit IMO - Including most of his movies.
@@negativeindustrial the only movie of his that's any good is devil's rejects...every other movie he's done are fucking terrible.
@@cr-cn4ky
I actually enjoyed the first act of his first Halloween remake. Didn’t really care for anything after the kid grew up. The last eight minutes of Devil’s Rejects is, also, worth repeated viewing, as it makes a good music video for “Free Bird”.
What a great interview..Thx Frank for getting these guys together again... I've seen White Zombie many times and still to this day play them on a weekly basis at work. It sucks not to be able to see them as, getting the band back together to hit the road. But I have a ton of great times in my memories. So glad they are all doing well. 😎✌🙏🤘🤘🤘♥️♥️♥️
