Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:RobZombie_5216.jpg\|frame]] Robert Bartleh Cummings (born January 12, 1965), better known by his stage name, [[Rob Zombie]], is a Grammy-nominated American musician, film director, screenwriter and film producer. He first attracted attention as the frontman of the band White Zombie, whose members included: Line 16: * John Tempesta - drums (1994-1998) White Zombie (its name taken from a 1932 [[Bela Lugosi]] [[Hollywood Voodoo\|zombie flick]] ''[[White Zombie (~~Film~~film)\|White Zombie]]'') was initially a [[Noise Rock]] band signed to an independent label. In this incarnation, they released two EPs and two albums, ''Soul-Crusher'' and ''Make Them Die Slowly''. The latter album showed them moving away somewhat from their noise rock sound in favour of [[~~Heavy Metal (Music)\|~~Heavy Metal]]. Eventually, once [[The Nineties]] rolled around, the band signed with [[Geffen Records]], recruited a new guitarist named Jay Noel Yuenger and re-fashioned themselves as a [[Industrial]]-influenced [[Groove Metal]] band that used lots of [[Sampling\|samples]] from old B-movies and trashy, surreal horror-movie aesthetics. This incarnation put out two well-received albums, ''La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1'' and ''Astro Creep: 2000''. Line 29: * Riggs - guitar (1997-2003) He produced his most successful album, ''Hellbilly Deluxe'', in 1998. He followed it up in 2001 with ''The Sinister Urge''. Since then, Rob has divided his attention between a solo career and directing the sort of trashy, B-movie horror films that he loves so much. He recently attracted a lot of negative attention for his remake of ''[[Halloween (~~Film~~film)\|Halloween]]'' and its sequel. Riggs and Tempesta, tired of waiting around while Rob worked on films, left the band and started Scum of the Earth, a band whose sound is most similar to ''Hellbilly Deluxe'' era Rob Zombie. {{discography}} White Zombie discography: * ''Soul-Crusher'' (1987) Line 43 ⟶ 44: * ''Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool'' (2010) {{filmography\|Films directed:}} * ''[[House of 1000 Corpses]]'' (2003) * ''[[The ~~Devils~~Devil's Rejects]]'' (2005) * ''[[Grindhouse]]'' -- "trailer" for ''Werewolf Women of the SS'' * ''[[Halloween (~~Film~~film)\|Halloween]]'' (2007) * ''[[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto]]'' (2009) * ''[[Halloween (~~Film~~film)\|Halloween]] II'' (2009) {{creatortropes}} ~~Tropes that apply to Rob Zombie:~~ ~~----~~ * [[As Himself]]: Rob Zombie was a playable character in Twisted Metal 4 (a game he did most of the music for). * [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: On ''[[Cannibal Holocaust]]'' in response to the real animals killed making the film; "As far as showing gore and showing rape or whatever I don’t have a problem with that but when real things get involved – I mean, I’ll show all sorts of violence but I’d never hack up a turtle on screen. That crosses the line." Line 64: [[Category:Rob Zombie]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Pages with working Wikipedia tabs]]
