JOHN 5 - ROB ZOMBIE'S NEW GUITAR SPEED DEMON
John 5 has made a permanent home with Rob Zombie as his lead-guitar Speed Demon. It all started when John 5 and Zombie came together last year at the Arrowhead Pond Arena for a benefit. They played Thunder Kiss 65 and Zombie knew John 5 was the right shredder to complete his merry band of monsters. "I'm totally stoked about this because this guy is a fucking shredder," explains Zombie. "I played Thunder Kiss 65 with him at The Arrowhead Pond Arena for a benefit last year and it never sounded so fucking good."
Fresh off the major success of his latest feature film, "The Devil's Rejects," Rob Zombie is returning this spring to his first passion - music - playing it live and loud. Zombie has finished recording his third solo studio CD, "Educated Horses" (Geffen Records).
Zombie is now on the last leg of The "Educated Horses Tour". The tour started March 17th in Jacksonville, Florida and is crossing the United States to conclude in Mesa, Arizona on April 27th. Joining Rob on this tour will be guitarist John 5 (ex-Marilyn Manson), longtime bassist Blasko and drummer Tommy Clufetos (ex-Alice Cooper & Ted Nugent). Supporting act for the tour will be Goth metal band Lacuna Coil.
"Educated Horses" was produced by Zombie and long time producer Scott Humphrey (Metallica, Motley Crue), who together also produced the platinum hits Hellbilly Deluxe and The Sinister Urge. Other musicians contributing to the CD are Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle, Vandals) and Tommy Lee. The album's debut single, the anthemic "Foxy Foxy, " will begin play on Modern Rock and Active Rock radio on February 13th.
