Rob Zombie on The Lords of Salem, comedy specials, and directing laundry detergent commercials

Rob Zombie and his band of gothed-out musicians (John 5, Piggy D. and Ginger Fish) recently returned from Zombie’s first European tour in almost 12 years. They’ll soon embark on their 12-city “Hell on Earth” North American tour with Slayer. The commander of living dead girls, rotting flesh, and perverted and horrific films will grace us with his dark presence on Saturday, July 16, at Capitol Federal Park at Sandstone. We recently spoke with Zombie about his upcoming tour and film (The Lords of Salem), band members, and why he’s directing and creating un-Zombie-like commercials and comedy specials these days.
