The song was a hit in the United States, and appeared on the singles chart in the United Kingdom. The album was preceded by the release of Zombie's debut single, " Dragula". Since its release, the album has garnered the title of a "shock rock classic" by numerous publications. The project appeared on multiple charts worldwide, though failed to duplicate the success it had in North America. Hellbilly Deluxe outsold all of Zombie's releases with his former band, and established him as a successful solo artist. The album proved to be a commercial success, reaching the top five of the Billboard 200 and selling over three million copies in the United States. Hellbilly Deluxe was released to a generally positive critical reception, with the album's production being praised. The majority of Hellbilly Deluxe was recorded in California, and was produced by both Zombie and Scott Humphrey Zombie is credited as the sole writer on all of the songs. The album's lyrics speak of murder, chaos, and supernatural forces. Musically, the project portrays Zombie's love for classic horror films with heavy metal and electronic music. Hellbilly Deluxe was released on Augthrough Geffen Records. The album serves as his first release outside of the band White Zombie, with whom he released two multi-platinum studio albums. If I could give even half the credit to John I totally would because whatever John touches turns to gold in my mind, but at least I have recognized my biased condition and I will be seeking help with your support of one dollar.Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International is the debut solo studio album by American musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie. I have never seen John as happy as he is onstage with Rob than with any other group of dead guys. The current lineup consists of Piggy D, Tommy C, and (be still my beating heart) John 5. There’s nothing fun about a guy by himself in a studio.” Well said Rob, well said. I just did that because White Zombie became an unworkable situation. When interviewed by Rolling Stone back in Nov 2008, Zombie paid it forward, “I never liked being solo. These certainly won’t be singles, but at least when they get played in the mainstream they won’t have to block out half the song like with “Sick Bubblegum”.ĭespite the first impression of the band name, this album was a collaborative effort among many fine musicians.
The almost 10 minute trip of “The Man Who Laughs” features a delicious drum solo, and the racy cartoons that accompanied “Werewolf Women of the SS” on the last tour made the song memorable (John 5’s pelvic gyrations during this single were enough to get the front row pregnant). Other favorites include “The Man Who Laughs” and “Werewolf Women of the SS”.
#ROB ZOMBIE HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 REISSUE RAR FREE#
Hmmm… can’t quite recall, feel free to remind me. The chorus almost sounds like a rip-off of that one song, by those guys…. This is rarely seen music-wise, but “Werewolf, Baby!” was much more Lynyrd Skynyrd – esk with old rock melodies. Zombie has repeatedly shown us with his cinema passions, he was certainly a child of the 70’s. Zombie gives listeners several toys to choose from.Īlthough most of the album starts with a eulogy with occasional creepy commentary from Sheri Moon Zombie, there was one song that seemed to get back to the roots of Rob’s inspiration. You don’t listen to a good rock album, you have fun with it, and Mr. The album starts off with a very quiet introduction, “Jesus Frankenstein”, before heading off into fast paced rock workout with “Sick Bubblegum” and my personal favorite, “What?” These two songs alone are what makes most Zombie fans quiver: fun rock candy with lyrics unconventional enough to forgive the guilt of your living room prancing. Why such a long delay Rob? Although I must say the album was worth the extra three month wait, such a long delay was almost like burying the grave before putting in the coffin. Back in November, I got a sneak peak of Zombie’s delayed production during his Hellbilly tour. BUT, for those of you who are expecting this album to be a sequel of the first Hellbilly, you will probably be disappointed. I guess that’s why Rob appropriately named his newest album “Hellbilly Deluxe” part deuce.
