ROB ZOMBIE Looking Forward To Touring Again
September 8, 2009The Pulse of Radio reports: Fresh off last week's release of his latest directorial effort, "Halloween II", Rob Zombie is getting back to his music career. He's set November 10 as the release date for his yet-to-be-titled fourth solo album, with a North American tour to start roughly around the same time. But Zombie will return to the stage on October 18, when he co-headlines Loud Park festival in Japan with SLAYER that will also feature PAPA ROACH. Zombie says that touring is always a nice change of pace from making a movie. "Touring is awesome, because making a movie is very, like, meticulous and it's totally, you know, it's, like, very time-consuming," he says. "You're, when you're the director, you're on seven days a week, all day long — it's this meticulous type of process. So to go on tour, where all we have to do is hold it together for an hour onstage and whatever we do the rest of the time doesn't matter — you can be a complete mental patient — so yeah, touring is the great way to break free from that."
Zombie's third solo album, "Educated Horses", came out in 2006.
"Halloween II", the follow-up to Zombie's successful 2007 remake of the original 1978 horror classic, came in at No. 3 in its opening weekend last week, earning $17 million at the box office. That's far less than the $31 million his first "Halloween" flick did two years ago.
Zombie's next film will be a remake of "The Blob", which he is slated to begin shooting in the spring of 2010.
His adult-oriented animated movie, "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto", will hit DVD and cable next month.
