Rob Zombie

In 1998, Rob Zombie formed his own solo band. John Tempesta (drums) came directly from White Zombie, with Mike Riggs on guitar and Blasko (Rob Nicholson) on bass. In 1998, they recorded and released Rob's debut solo album, Hellbilly Deluxe, which was produced by Scott Humphrey. The album was a huge hit, selling three million copies nationally. This album comprised of the hit singles "Dracula", "Living Dead Girl" and "Superbeast". After the release of Hellbilly Deluxe, White Zombie broke up. Rob Zombie toured extensively to promote the debut album, releasing American Made Music to Strip By in 1999, an album of remixes from Hellbilly Deluxe.

From style point of view, Educated Horses is Rob's most tentative release. In contradiction of the heavy metal sound of his first 2 albums, this one has a more alternative metal sound to it. The single "Foxy, Foxy" can be portrayed as his most "party-going" song. The other 2 singles, "Let It All Bleed Out" and "American Witch", featured his signature heavy sound. It was also his 1st album to not contain heavy amounts of horror - either in the artwork, songs, or even his physical appearance where Rob Zombie is dressed in regular clothes on the album cover, and his dreadlocks are gone. On the other hand, the songs "Seventeen Year Locust" and "The Scorpion Sleeps" featured song topics of creepy-crawlies.

In 2006 The Best of Rob Zombie was also released by his label, Geffen Records. It contains songs akin to his 1st greatest-hits album, but there are also songs on this release from Educated Horses. Sometime in 2007, Rob Zombie plans on releasing a White Zombie box-set and a Live CD/DVD, perhaps containing footage from his most recent tour in 2006.

Blasko, Rob's bass player, departed after the Educated Horses Tour, right before the American Witch Tour (The 2nd leg of the tour), to play bass with Ozzy Osbourne. To fill in the position, Rob appointed Piggy D. of Wednesday 13. After Ozzy finished touring, Blasko returned with Zombie.

On May 31st, 2006, Zombie was joined by guitarist Slash – ex member of Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver; and Gilby Clarke, previously of Guns N' Roses, on rhythm guitar; Scott Ian of Anthrax on bass; Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe on drums and special guest Ace Frehley of Kiss also on lead guitar. The occasion was an instant super group tribute to Kiss for the first annual VH1 Rock Honors Award Show. They played one song, "God of Thunder," before handing it off to the honoree. Rob Zombie is now on tour with Ozzy Osbourne.

House of 1000 Corpses was Rob Zombie's administrative debut and his first horror film. Zombie wrote the script in addition to directed the film. It took four years to make (1999-2003), and was finally released by Lion's Gate Films in 2003, after Stacy Snider, then-head of Universal Pictures, sold the film to them, as she did not wish for Universal to release the film. Afterwards it was expressed that Snider is not a fan of horror films. It featured a dreadful amount of bloodshed and gore, a hark back to Rob's exploitation-film influences. It told the story of a group of unlucky teenagers who stagger upon the Firefly Family, a family of aggressive and ferocious murderers. The film was shot in a unreal and gloomy style that varied between dark and campy wit.
