Favorite "Color" Bands #12 - White Zombie

Tweet

Do you even realize just how many bands out there have a color in their name? I like so many of them that, instead of my steadfast ten, I had to go with 15 in my countdown of my favorite bands with a color in the name. We are at #12: White Zombie. Led by vocalist Rob Zombie, White Zombie was formed by the singer and his then-girlfriend, bassist Sean Ysuelt (who has also played in The Cramps,) in New York City in 1985. Originally a noise rock band, White Zombie eventually left that behind in favor of a groove metal sound. The group managed just four studio albums and 12 singles before disbanding in 1998. But oh, were they a lot of fun! You could actually dance to these guys as easily as you could bang your head to them, and how can you not love a vocalist that treats the word "yeah" as the most important word in the English language? I once read an interview with Alice Cooper. When asked about the shock rockers that came after him, Cooper declared that he enjoyed Rob Zombie the most, because he was "the only one that seems like he's having a good time." Yep. White Zombie was a blast! (YEAH! info verified by Wikipedia)
