Rob Zombie Happy With Label Change
For the first time in years, Rob Zombie is a new artist on a new label. The vocalist joined Roadrunner's Loud & Proud after nearly two decades with Geffen Records. The singer tells Noisecreep.com, quote, "It reminds me of the early days of Geffen. Because in the early days, Geffen was a very hands-on label. Every time you went to a city, there was a label rep and knew everyone's names, and everybody was your friend and if you had a Christmas party, they'd come."
Zombie says he likes the approach of his new label, explaining, "It's not just about trying to get some big monster single and not work. Because rock music's different than pop music. You can have a big pop song and put it in a TV commercial, but that's not what we do." He adds, quote, "I think for some people, rock bands became too much work. But rock bands are the things that survive. Pop [acts] do not sell out arena when the guys are in their 60s like rock bands do, and are forgotten six months later." Zombie's first release with Roadrunner is his "Hellbilly Deluxe 2." |
