Iconic Metal Singer, 60, Scolds Concert Goers in Frustrated Display
One of the most prominent members of the shock-rock genre has been Rob Zombie. The singer came to prominence with the band White Zombie, before splitting off to pursue a solo career. His first solo album debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200.
Zombie went on to release more successful music, and venture into filmmaking, directing House of 1,000 Corpses, and the two Halloween remakes. He has made himself a place in the horror genre, whether that's music or film. Zombie has always branded himself with his distinct voice, which has now been used in some other ways.
At a recent headlining appearance at the Boardwalk Rock festival, Zombie got pretty frustrated with his crowd. Watch this.
Zombie's frustration around the phones is made pretty clear in the video. His comments sparked a lot of discourse over the issue, with fans taking sides.
"I agree, put the phones away and enjoy the moment," one fan commented, while another took the opposite stance, remarking, "Ok, roll those ticket prices back too since we're being all nostalgic."The arguments on either side continued, one fan in favor saying, "Agreed. You can find the performance on YouTube in every which way. Take 1-2 pics. A quick video if you must and just enjoy the show." Another fan showed their displeasure with Zombie's comments, arguing, "Concerts are too expensive. Let the people do what they want. Just play the damn song."
People seem to have really strong opinions on either side of this issue. Regardless, Rob Zombie is still selling tickets, and giving it his all on stage.
