Insane energy for a Zombie!
It’s a Friday night at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, and I’m finally to the headliner at Twins of Evil: Rob Zombie. After just seeing Marilyn Manson, I was excited for the main attraction to begin, and when Rob hit the stage in an explosion of movement you knew you were in for a great show!
Rob Zombie kicked it into gear on high with “Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown” from his Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor album. John 5 on lead guitar entered the stage with a strange light show in his teeth, and a telecaster loaded with LED lights. Great showmanship from a legendary guitarist, who I am glad to get to see again.
Heavy Metal Horror Show Theater
Piggy D. donned several great horror masks, looking like he just stepped out of a Heavy Metal Phantom of the Opera. His stage presence and bass skills were amazing, as he laid out the solid lines for Rob Zombie to go crazy to.
The show had a lot of great songs from throughout Zombie’s career, including great White Zombie hits “More Human than Human” and “Thunderkiss ’65”. Add to that a great cover of The Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop”, and a duet with Marilyn Manson doing The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” and you have an amazing show.
If you get a chance to see this tour, I highly recommend it. Rob Zombie has not lost a step, in fact he may have gained a few. \m/ \m/
