Rob Zombie is nothing if not theatrical, so he's in his element when unleashing his larger-than-life persona in front of an audience.

Accordingly, ZOMBIE LIVE provides an excellent way to soak up the Zombie experience to its fullest. Rampaging through a set-list of crowdpleasers, the king of horror rock gives his fans what they're bloodthirsty for, in no uncertain terms. The basic Zombie sound mixes thrash metal, punk, and a touch of industrial flavor with a spiritual debt to shock-rock O.G. Alice Cooper. The cumulative effect of all these demonic doings is akin to inviting Satan over for an air-guitar faceoff. Everybody wins.
