Bonus CD/DVD Highlights include the song and video DRAGULA, and DURANGO95, which pays tribute to A Clockwork Orange, shot on a set that resembles the Korova Milkbar from the film, and Rob dressed as Alex. This was worth checking out, you get Rob's greatest hits, so to speak on cd, and Rob's Videos on DVD. All in all, the package makes for good listening and viewing, if you are a fan of Rob Zombie.
Good Mix of Zombie's Work
A good first album for new Rob Zombie fans. A good mix of Zombie's older classics and some of his newer songs like "Dragula".
One of the best metal collections money can buy.
amazon. Watch Video Here: http://www. amazon. com/review/ROEG88M382SQC Consider the horror/rock torch passed. Alice Cooper ain't getting any younger and as many bands and artists have tried, there is only one who has proved he has what it takes to take up the mantle. I speak of course of former White Zombie frontman Rob Zombie: heavy metal hero, horror filmmaker, master performer, and all around great guy. Having effectively stolen the musical style and persona of Ministry leader Al Jourgensen and twisted it into a horror-loving metalhead's wet dream, I assumed that the breakup of his talented band would be the last I heard of his harsh untrained vocals. Turns out that he needed White Zombie like Cooper needed his original band. This better-than-impressive career retrospective packs some of his greatest and most popular songs with some lesser-known gems and two never-before-released tunes that are at least as good as anything Zombie has done. As an added bonus, you get 10 must-own music videos full of all the ghouls, crazy beats, robots, psychedelia, heavy guitar, and old-school horror love you crave. It doesn't get better than this for horror/rock fanatics.
With masterpieces like "Black Sunshine" (which features vocals from Iggy Pop), "Super Charger Heaven", and "Superbeast" under his belt, it's pretty much impossible to doubt this guy. With songs paying homage to cult classic cinema like A Clockwork Orange ("Never Gonna Stop") and throwing dialogue samples from classics like Faster Pussycat Kill!. . kill! ("Thunder Kiss '65"), The Haunting (Supercharger Heaven"), and Daughters of Darkness (Demonoid Phenomenon", here only in video form) and/or pornographic noises into nearly every song it's hard not to love him. Throw in some horror-fied versions of funk classic "I'm Your Boogeyman" and "Brick House" (a duet with Lionel Richie also featuring rapper Trina) and you've got yourself the perfect rockin' Halloween party album. There are mainstream hits like "Living Dead Girl" and "Dragula" (based on The Munsters car) and obscurities like his team-up with Howard Stern, "The Great American Nightmare", and the irresistably-titled "Pussy Liquor". This album is wall-to-wall quality and a perfect tribute to one of the best frontmen in metal.
The videos are an impressive bonus with only a few complaints. Complaint 1: why is "Demonoid Phenomenon" censored? BOOOOOOO! If you want to shoot a perverse live compilation video of girls flashing the stage: fine. But what is the point if we don't get to see? Complaint 2: the Clockwork Orangey mojo of "Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy)" is somewhat spoiled by the tie-in to the crummy remake of "Rollerball". Double boo! That's the end of the bad. The rest is pure gravy. The "Living Dead Girl" video is based on the film of the same name. Obvious, but cool.
So in spite of the fact that he really can't sing (thank Satan for studio effects!), Rob Zombie has risen to prominence as a legendary rock frontman. In spite of his uncompromising love of independent horror, he has succeeded in Hollywood not once, nor twice, but thrice. Not a bad resume for any career. A career that this set encompasses perfectly in a way that will give both hardcore and casual fans something to scream about. Zombie is arguably horror's first true renaissance man. Long may it continue.
