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.
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
@@jwinnfield9192 Yes, the first half were the shit. Late 90's were showing signs of what would become the 2000's to now, and I hated it then, and really hate it now. People today are confused & don't even know who they are so they act like something they're not.. Sad really.
@@MichaelStBlackyeah it did decline towards the end although thankfully there have been regular diamonds in the rough. They are just a lot less frequent now
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.
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!
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....
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.
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
I agree if it’s gonna cut into your performance of the song, it’s doing too much. Don’t see too many Dave Mustaines and EVHs of the world jumping around while they are singing and soloing for good reason.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
This is a very generous edit… anyone who watched the broadcast will remember that the synth backing track was playing along… loudly… at the original tempo… which is considerably faster than the tempo the band is playing at. It was an absolute fucking trainwreck.
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): ruclips.net/video/JWM3BGQAKgQ/видео.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.
They seriously had an amazing sound, badass 👍🏽. I play this almost every morning and evening commuting from work and it sucks I was too young to see them perform live, born in '88.
Got to experience White Zombie a few times back in the day. Rob was ALWAYS like this. Running around and out of breath. However, when he went solo, I watched him open for Korn. He stood around and walked. Wasn't out of breath. He was pretty badass. I'd love to see a reunion tour!
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.
Adding J changed the trajectory of this group in 1989. His riffs were what they were needing. He never considered himself a star guitarist, just working and enjoyed working with Sean and John. .
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.
@@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.
I was a stage hand at the Stone Pony NJ during White Zombies early touring days. I totllay kissed Sean Yesault in the green room. I truly had a shot! Til my boss came looking for Me!!! I'll never forgive him for Fucking Up My Entire Life!!!!
My first concert was about a year after this Pantera/White Zombie, Deftones and Eye Hate God. August of 96' at the Minneapolis Target Center. They put on an amazing performance!
Eyehategod was killer back then. They still kill it but mikes vocals sound less.. uh.. how do i put it, pained? Yeah they sound less gross, still a killer live band though.
@@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.
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.
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.
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 saw Rob play this like 6 years ago. He moved around a bit to jam out but not nearly as much as this. It sounded awesome af. He eventually figured it out.
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.
@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 am the breathless man, runnin' round the stage with a mic in my hand yeah.."
lol
🤣👍🏼
Yeah, this was pretty bad lol
That's fucking great haha
Hahahahaha. Hilarious

It was definitely a unique moment in time when something like this could be considered popular music and receive a mainstream television broadcast.

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
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.
Here I am 41 today watching this knowing I used to listen to this #hit when I was younger.
Hey same
Same I’m 40.. my first CD ever was la sexorcisto haha spelling incorrect
Seems like yesterday. I remember watching this on tv back in the day.
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.
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.
I had such a huge crush on Sean.
What a song, what an album, what a band 🤘
I agree. I still think White Zombie is better than Rob Zombie.
@@ihcman9130 definitely: it was a whole other level of composition.
Sean Yseult was literally the only reason this was ever a band. Hot, and could bass hard.
hell, I saw one of her bands in 2005. A Horror rock band called "Rock CIty Morgue". Snappy little combo. She was super nice. still beautiful.
the truest comment on here!
Then, Rob tossed her out like a bag of moldy old tangerines. 😢
guitar man has some chops too
J. Yuenger was the best part of this band by far.
Hell yea..
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
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 was watched it for Sean... as always
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.
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 saw him live back in 2007 and he sounded just like this. By 30 mins in only 30% of the words were sung.
Sean is amazing but Rob is truly breathtaking
I see what you did there hahaha
Running took the breath of Rob not Rob....pot?
tee hee hee
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.
I jammed to this song while snowboarding, use to rip shit up ! Now I’m 53 ! Still listen to this song while I’m tearing up the golf course ! 😂🤘
Great song. I gotta say the drums really hold everything together very well. Great drumming.
Sean rocks! i'd LOVE to meet her!
Takes me back to such a better time. To the memories...🍻
Literally the first line of the song and he's already out of breath. A shining example of a great vocalist...
Beat me to it. He's like that every time. Needs to run his ass around the block a few times a week and build some stamina.
He went to the Vince Neil school of performing.
Drunken drug users who smoke goes to concerts, music best recordings
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?
This is a very generous edit… anyone who watched the broadcast will remember that the synth backing track was playing along… loudly… at the original tempo… which is considerably faster than the tempo the band is playing at. It was an absolute fucking trainwreck.
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): ruclips.net/video/JWM3BGQAKgQ/видео.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!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
They seriously had an amazing sound, badass 👍🏽. I play this almost every morning and evening commuting from work and it sucks I was too young to see them perform live, born in '88.
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!
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.
Man of good taste! Unless you're a chick and that's even hotter!
Dont care😂@@vapordreams983
@@vapordreams983 Neither did Billy.
Love his music, his studio work. He just cant cut it live.
MTV VMA in the 90s was something that made me learn how to program a VCR to record for.
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
The first compact disc I ever bought with my own money as a 14 year old. Still in my top 5.
I see the comments noticing but honestly who could growl like that and chant over and over AND move through the stage and not run out of breath???
Got to experience White Zombie a few times back in the day. Rob was ALWAYS like this. Running around and out of breath. However, when he went solo, I watched him open for Korn. He stood around and walked. Wasn't out of breath. He was pretty badass. I'd love to see a reunion tour!
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.
Adding J changed the trajectory of this group in 1989. His riffs were what they were needing. He never considered himself a star guitarist, just working and enjoyed working with Sean and John. .
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.
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.
Saw this line up may 25 in West Palm Beach. I will never forget that show
Two Halloween movies later,....And Sean is still hot.
Se nota que es un gran cantante por qué desde las primeras líneas lo entrega todo y con todo su aliento
I was a stage hand at the Stone Pony NJ during White Zombies early touring days. I totllay kissed Sean Yesault in the green room. I truly had a shot! Til my boss came looking for Me!!! I'll never forgive him for Fucking Up My Entire Life!!!!
I love when the bass is this prominent. Usually its turned too far down.
My first concert was about a year after this Pantera/White Zombie, Deftones and Eye Hate God. August of 96' at the Minneapolis Target Center. They put on an amazing performance!
i remember that tour
Eyehategod was killer back then. They still kill it but mikes vocals sound less.. uh.. how do i put it, pained? Yeah they sound less gross, still a killer live band though.
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..
When you're too worried about running around the stage and you can only sing 1/3 of your lines because of it.
Saw Theory of a Deadman open for him once and Theory absolutely destroyed his performance
@@playdiscgolf1546 But yet nobody remembers any of their songs 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.
Rob had Axl Rose Syndrome.
Zombie is still the best live performance ive ever seen, dudes a genius when it comes to stage shows
This band was 100 times more impacting than whatever monster movie wannabe version Rob Zombie came out with afterward. THIS was a real band.
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.
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.
God dude they’re holdin the groove down so good
I saw Rob play this like 6 years ago. He moved around a bit to jam out but not nearly as much as this. It sounded awesome af. He eventually figured it out.
Sean is so awesome 🤘
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.
Was not Sean Yseult the hottest woman on the planet with that bass in her hands?
She isn’t That Hot
@@josejones7025at that time she was.
No she wasn't . Not that talented either just ok
Yes!!
Good friend of a buddy of mine.
He was so hyped up and then precisely at the 1:00 minute mark he realized he's completely blown up 😂.
I was never a fan of these guys, but very refreshing that they are actually playing live and not faking it
lots of clunkers, yes, but Supercharger Heaven is KRANK IT material
If you weren't a fan of them, why are you even watching and commenting on the video?
Yeah. Too bad they sounded like crap. Did he tune the guitar?
Now 30 years afterwords your impressed by a video of a concert that they play live? Wtf? Why are you even here let alone commenting?
not faking about being out of breath either, while running around
The raw excitement. The dangerous feel of these days! Sure miss this Era.
Es como una criatura mitad pulpo mitad humano desde las oscuras profundidades del mar cantando......More human than human.....los 90s mi epoca📻
Killer bass line. Just growls.
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.
Saw these guys live with Korn in Anaheim back in the day. It was ……… epic
White Zombie was a bad-ass band, would be cool to see them live again some day. \m/
That Bass sounds heavy, Rob Zombie Rulez \m/
I love that bass woman
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!!
I once saw White Zombie and Korn open for Rage Against The Machine in Denver. Probably the best show I ever saw.
Too bad Rage ended up being hypocritical sellouts.
