The entire "La Sexorcisto" album is the musical like a grade B horror flick in musical form. Just as Rob Zombie intended. Great soundtrack for the Halloween season.
No lie. We did a bachelors party in my buddies basement where I was spinning the tunes. Set list artists: White Zombie, Rob Zombie, Pantera and RATM. The dancers loved it and so did the victim who was getting married the following week.
This song I VAGUELY about the movie “Faster Pussycat KILL KILL!” But Howard stern once asked him about his lyrics and Rob said “It doesn’t matter if they make sense, as long as it SOUNDS cool!”
Think he has pretty much the same philosophy with his movies: doesn't matter if they make sense, as long as they look cool. Or something along those lines. ;)
The drummer on La Sexorcisto was Ivan de Prume; I LOVE his drumming on this album. He’s way groovier than John Tempesta, in my opinion. As far as I’m concerned, Ivan de Prume is the best drummer White Zombie ever had.
Y'all need to understand that a metric shit ton of Rock music has lyrics meant to be interpreted by YOU the listener. Lots of these songs don't have a word for word literal message.
I know it has become kind of your thing, but I assure you the lyric breakdown of every song will not always yield some manner of understanding. Most great songs are as much about a feel or vibe, maybe a catchy chorus, noting more. Don't get too caught up in the message. If you can show a performance, all the better. "Thunderkiss" is a personal favorite, one that I have listened to hundreds of times and I still have no idea what it is "about".
Same!! I don't think Rob Zombie ever really thinks or cares too much for lyrical content.... he's definitely more of a vibe. I am big on lyrics, but I absolutely love Rob Zombie and hie general vibe... sooo much energy, it's contagious
I mean, most Rob/ White Zombie songs are perfect for October, but you should definitely check out Living Dead Girl and Spookshow Baby before Halloween ;)
@@vinniedixon1140 ah okay. I agree then. Second album had a few good songs. But since those first 2 solo albums I've barely gotten into his stuff except the odd song here and there.
I've been a fan for almost 30 years and still don't know what the hell Rob is talking about, but it doesn't matter. It sounds good. Sometimes you've gotta get out of your own head and just celebrate being in the moment!
Yeah this is a good point, sometimes the lyrics are deep and thought provoking (which surprises non-metal lovers), and sometimes they're just there as some singing over the top of a killer groove or intricate playing.
I always interpreted this song as the yr he was born. 1-12-65. Listen to the lyrics with this thought in your head and his serious infatuation with old school horror. It is a game changer for the interpretation in my opinion
Man that song grooves heavy! Love it. One of my favs for about a year and played it on my college radio show in 1990s. Good workout song too. Thanks White Zombie and Brad & Lex.
Lexi is correct. A 65 Mustang. He also references the movie Faster Pussycat Kill Kill which influenced his movie making. Black Sunshine is also about his 65 Mustang and more apparent in the lyrics.
There is a moment, in almost all your metal/rock reactions, when Lex "gets it". She can't explain it, she can't describe it, but you see it on her face. She is a natural born metal head, and never knew it until you two started this channel. And that makes me smile. The moment when you "get it". AWESOME. LOVE Y'ALL
NAILED IT! I swear she was a goth/metalhead in a previous life, you can see she understands what the vibe is about. Brad usually seems a bit more skeptical of Metal songs.
Can't wait to see Brad's face trying to make sense of Rob Zombie's lyrics. It's almost always nonsense horror vocabulary. This album is killer as well, and White Zombie is much better than the stuff Rob has made solo.
@@maroonknightCC Yeah, me too. When I was 6 years old, my uncle played Cowboys from hell by Pantera, Bleach by Nirvana and La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One to me. And I was fucking blown away.
@@jimbodavis1944 Yeah the bass is busier on that one, but I'm referring more to the bess level in the mix. Very dominant, it's perfect, it drives the music.
From: DETROIT MICHIGAN I REMEMBER THE FIST DAY THIS CAME OUT!!! His, Demeanor, voice, sounds were on the NEXT Level at that time!!! I honestly could not sit down listening to that!!! It makes you want to jump, hit something, not negatively just posed so much RAW Energy!!! Loved, and still love it!!! The Original WHITE ZOMBIE!!! I remember Dimbag Darrel always wore his White zombie T back in THE DAY!!! ¡Love n RESPECT!
I too saw PanterA, White Zombie, and Eyehategod. I've also seen PanterA with Biohazard, and Neurosis. PanterA, Soulfly, Morbid Angel, and Nothingface. And PanterA, Clutch, and Soilent Green.
I remember going to this concert with four of my buddies in a 2 door sedan, head banging to this so much the car was jerking back and fourth. Got to the concert and fell in love with Sean head banging and jammin' that bass. She Rocks.
Their best album. I had this album and especially this song on repeat constantly back in the day. Also Rob Zombie at his best and back when his vocals we're great. Definitely do more songs from this album like Black Sunshine and Soul Crusher.
Thank you both for doing this, I know myself and others were recommending it, i just really enjoy the channel and wanted to share a song off an album that changed my life lol. Thank you again, it meant a lot to me to be able to check out White Zombie with some of my favorite reactors!
For all those who think the lyrics are random nonsense... It's actually a take on, a homage, you could say, to a 1965 movie titled "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!", in which three go-go dancers go on a killing/kidnapping/robbing spree in the desert. Lex wasn't far off about the car thing, since the girls like to drive fast. Won't tell you the plot in case someone here gets in a mood for a 60s cult film, but it's actually a bit more interesting than my quick summary makes it sound, inasmuch just about most characters (not just the girls) are their own kind of twisted and there's no "good guy", in the end. Definitely an antihero movie.
I used to love freaking out my non-metal friends in high school by just casually speaking a White Zombie lyric in the middle of a normal conversation. The look on their faces was priceless!
Underrepresented group. Rob's solo stuff is good, too, White Zombie definitely heavier. Rob has a collection of covers that surprises people (e.g. "We're An American Band," "Brick House," "Helter Skelter," "Sweet Home Alabama," etc.) and is known to use a lot of horns. And don't be surprised, but many songs are incomplete without a woman moaning at some point in them for no apparent reason...humorous after confusion settles.
Should check out White Zombie - More Human Than Human and or LA RATS - I’ve Been Everywhere. LA Rats is a metal supergroup (Rob Zombie along with Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, one of the drummers of Black Sabbath and the guitarist from Marilyn Manson)
I heard this on the radio a few days ago, I thought it sounded like Rob, then they said LARATS - glad u cleared that up for me, cool song, but I prefer the Hank Snow version(1962)
Yeah I love the original but there are some older songs that work really well as hard rock/metal covers if done properly. Godsmacks Come Together is one of them.
White Zombie is my favorite Rob Zombie project. I enjoy his solo stuff but there's something so raw about White Zombie I've never been able to put my finger on that just does it for me. I saw Rob in 1999 where he played this for the encore and just because doing that wasn't awesome enough he brought out Kerry King from Slayer on guitar to make this bone crunching riff even crunchier. But I'd be remiss if I didn't suggest White Zombie - I Am Hell!
Always love dancing to this song at the clubs!! I never could understand the words either but it was a great song to dance to. Now that I have read the words with you too, I would have guessed it was about his motorcycle with the old saying....cash, grass, or ass no free rides meeting up with a beautiful female motorcycle cop!! LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG I love you guys for doing this! I seen them live over 20 years ago with Pantera. They are amazing. Just brought back a lot of good memories. So cool you guys checked this out. Check out Black Sunshine. Same album Amazing song
I saw White Zombie around '98 at Arco Arena and Pantera was also playing. I got to go backstage and my friend and I took a picture with Dimebag. I'm so grateful for the Internet because I lost the picture but this girl that my friend knows still had it and sent it to my friend on Facebook, and then he sent it to me.
Rob Zombie's lyrics make a lot of sense ... to him! lmao! Generally he writes about doing something fast, crazy and/or dangerous so you can safely assume it's usually something to do with that. His thinking is on a very different level which is part of his appeal.
Rob Zombie is very unique as an artist. His little brother's band Powerman 5000 had a very similar sound and "bombshell" is still on my playlist. Good one to react to Brad & Lex 👍
The entire album La Sexorcisto is about classic horror movies from the 60's and campy movies, like Barbarella. All of the female lines in this song are from Barbarella, a crazy movie starting Jane Fonda. This song is a tribute to a cult classic move from 1965 called Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! Kill!
The lead singer, Rob Zombie, worked on the set of Pee Wee Herman Show, now he writes and directs his own horror movies as well as the 2007 remake of Halloween.
The lead singer of Powerman 5000 is also Rob Zombie's brother 😊 check em out. They are also pretty awesome. I've seen both bands live, and I was impressed by both.
While you are checking out 90's industrial metal you should check out Ministry. Thieves, Just One Fix, Stigmata or Jesus Built My Hotrod are all good tracks.
Live this man has so much energy he does not stop and always goes out into the audience. Love the movies he has made, course I'm a big Horror fan as he is. Can't wait for his Munsters Movie to come out.
yeah always goes out into the audience, i saw him several times, and one of those times we were up front and he came up close to us and a bunch of people went over close as did i, and i didnt realize how close i actually was and i threw up the devil horns and accidentally stuck my index finger in his armpit lol and he imediately grabbed my hand and threw it away without breaking a note. if rob reads this i wasnt intentionally trying to tickle your pits.
They came through Austin 3 times for La Sexercisto, nobody 1st show and 3/4 full for the 2nd one, and more people than should have been in a space that size for the last one. They blew up as quick as GNR, but that only lasted a couple of years before it leveled off.
I always thought "the demon warp is coming alive" part meant that he or someone else was opening a portal to let demons cross over to earth and take over or something of that nature. Maybe that's just silly. I've always been a big fan though
the demon warp is comin alive in 1965,5,5. la sexorcisto has been one of my favorite metal albums since first release \m/ fun fact- check out pm5k(powerman 5000) when worlds collide. vox(vocals) spider one is rob zombie's brother
Rob Zombie is also a horror movie director. Go figure. House of a Thousand Corpses and Devils Rejects. And remade Halloween. Dude is talented. Maybe do a Rob Zombie movie reviews. I think we'd all like to see your reactions. Be ready. They are twisted but good movies. 🤘
Brad by October do you mean Halloween like? Ironically because he has made many amazing horror films starring his wife, including a remake of Halloween. House of 1000 corpses is my personal favorite. Not to mention he’s a beast on stage. Iconic science the 90s. One of my heroes
