Robert Bartleh Cummings better known as Rob Zombie, is an American heavy metal, groove metal, and industrial rock musician, filmmaker, and writer. His dreadlocks, gruff vocal style, and fascination with horror movies have helped him become a distinctive element in American heavy metal. He is best known as founder, lead singer and songwriter for White Zombie. In recent years he has also established himself as a solo artist and branched into directing films. His directorial career began with the horror exploitation feature, House of 1000 Corpses, and its sequel, The Devil's Rejects, released July 22, 2005. The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, an animated film based on his comic book series of the same name, is due for release in 2007. Also slated for a 2007 release is a reworking of the 1978 horror classic Halloween. His longtime girlfriend (now wife), Sheri Moon Zombie, has appeared in many of Rob's music videos and in all of his films. Cummings is the older brother of Michael Cummings, the lead singer of Powerman 5000.
Rob and his brother Michael Cummings were born to parents who worked in a carnival. They grew up on the road, and both shared an interest in 1960s counterculture, B horror movies, Western movies and fantasy comics. This probably helped to shape the brothers' tastes in music later on in life. Rob Zombie has been a longtime fan of The Ramones, shock-rocker Alice Cooper, British heavy-metal pioneers Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and many more. Styles of these musicians continue to be a strong influence on him to this day. Both brothers went to college, but Rob dropped out to pursue different ideas. Rob got his start by working as a technician for Pee Wee's Playhouse. It was also during this point that he met future White Zombie band-mate Sean Yseult.

Voor de tweede keer dit jaar een Rob Zombie concert bezocht en dit keer in eigen land. Ik had er erg veel zin in en wist al dat Rob Zombie een hele goede performer is op het podium. Toen de deuren van de Paradiso open gingen en ik naar binnen liep dacht ik al bij mezelf "wat is dit gebouw fucking...
