Rob Zombie - Punks and Demons - Video Reaction
In a STR first, Derek brought the new Rob Zombie track Punks And Demons to John for a first-watch reaction. Did John's testies perk up?
00:00:00.160 What's up? Rob Zombie has a new track
00:00:02.480 out. I have not heard it. I have not
00:00:04.400 seen the video, but my friend Derek has.
00:00:06.799 So, we're going to step out on a limb
00:00:08.160 and try something different today.
00:00:14.799 Uh, we have never done a proper reaction
00:00:17.440 video, but so this will be our first.
00:00:20.160 So, we're going to play this here in a
00:00:22.640 second. And, uh, Derek knows the song, I
00:00:24.640 do not. Uh, so we'll see how this goes.
00:00:27.599 But before we get to that, we've had a
00:00:30.320 uh a an influx of new subscribers on
00:00:33.120 YouTube. We are grateful for uh you all
00:00:35.280 subscribing to the channel. Uh a lot of
00:00:37.680 comments uh and all that, likes and and
00:00:40.640 shares, and we appreciate that. Helps
00:00:42.640 the channel grow. Uh so, thank you and
00:00:44.960 welcome to [ __ ] Talk Reviews. Derek,
00:00:49.120 what do I need to know about uh this
00:00:51.039 zombie track before we before we fire it
00:00:53.120 off? So Rob Zombie's high watermark, you
00:00:56.320 know, you go into Spotify, Apple Music.
00:00:59.280 The Hellbilly Deluxe from 1998 is the
00:01:02.640 high watermark for them. It is
00:01:05.199 considered the album. And then the
00:01:07.920 Sinister urge after that was really
00:01:10.000 good. And then it steadily declined. And
00:01:13.040 I believe I believe and this is going to
00:01:15.680 be a love fest for one Rob Blasco
00:01:18.080 Nicholson and Mike Riggs who are Mike
00:01:20.880 Riggs is the guitarist and bass and then
00:01:23.680 Rob is the basist on those records and
00:01:26.640 then they left and then all of a sudden
00:01:29.680 you know we had John Five come in and
00:01:32.240 John five is with Mly Crew and
00:01:36.320 I don't want to piss Rob off because I
00:01:38.240 don't want him to zombify me or or kill
00:01:40.479 me or do anything like that and esecally
00:01:42.640 cuz I lived in his hometown of Haveril,
00:01:44.479 Mass for a while, but
00:01:47.360 he turned into he turned out he turned
00:01:50.240 into Jungle Boogie. He was not the
00:01:52.399 demonoid phenomenon that he was on
00:01:54.320 Hellbilly Deluxe and with White Zombie.
00:01:57.680 So now that Rob Blasco is back in the
00:02:00.960 band along with Mike Riggs, who is a
00:02:04.320 riff driven guitarist, not
00:02:08.239 in playing a banjo like John Five. Um,
00:02:12.879 there's a chance that they went back to
00:02:15.440 their White Zombie Hellbilly Deluxe
00:02:18.160 roots and we're going to hear a song
00:02:19.840 that's a little bit more like Demonoid
00:02:22.080 Phenomenon and Dragula and so on and so
00:02:25.440 forth. So, with that,
00:02:27.520 let's do this.
00:02:28.160 Let's do this.
00:02:31.840 Okay.
00:02:36.560 Oh.
00:02:43.440 Satan
00:02:44.400 right off the bat. Yeah.
00:02:49.770 [Applause]
00:02:54.160 Okay. This this right off the top is
00:02:56.800 very much old school white zombie
00:02:59.200 compared to, as you were saying, the
00:03:00.400 John 5 era. Absolutely.
00:03:07.200 Now, how's your testicles?
00:03:09.920 They're starting to tingle. They're
00:03:11.120 starting to tingle.
00:03:12.159 We always know it's good if that
00:03:13.360 happens.
00:03:14.080 Exactly. Yeah.
00:03:15.680 Yeah. Well, anytime you can mention
00:03:17.680 Satan and then they've got all kinds of
00:03:20.080 studded leather and stuff on, you know,
00:03:23.920 it's like, h, you know what? They're
00:03:25.200 kind of saying, "Hey, we're back."
00:03:27.360 Yeah. Welcome, welcome back to the uh to
00:03:29.440 the old metal era.
00:03:32.959 And let's be honest, it was good stuff.
00:03:36.319 It's the good zombie era. It is. Yeah.
00:03:39.360 Uh
00:03:41.120 it's just it's driving, it's edge, you
00:03:43.840 know, it's got a ton of edge to it. Um
00:03:47.760 Yeah. Like you said, it's very riff
00:03:49.200 driven.
00:03:50.239 Industrial,
00:03:51.040 you know.
00:03:51.680 Yeah.
00:03:52.080 But but not not abandoning metal with
00:03:56.159 with industrial pieces. It's it's it's
00:03:58.560 it's power.
00:04:01.360 Yeah. It's not It's not indust uh
00:04:03.760 ministry level industrial, but it's got
00:04:06.159 it's got a it's got just a little taste
00:04:08.400 of that.
00:04:10.060 [Applause]
00:04:13.680 Mhm. Mhm. I love the spooky vibe.
00:04:17.519 Yeah.
00:04:18.720 It's very Halloweeny.
00:04:21.199 Bring the dissonance all day long and
00:04:22.880 I'm a happy guy.
00:04:27.000 [Applause]
00:04:29.199 Oh, Rob is so good. So good. Rob is so
00:04:32.960 good.
00:04:34.400 I love the guitar with the with the
00:04:36.639 devil on it that
00:04:39.040 it just ah god the imagery is right. The
00:04:42.400 music's right. It's It's really great.
00:04:44.639 I'm really glad that Rob Zombie is
00:04:48.160 Yeah.
00:04:48.800 I hope this is indicative of of what
00:04:50.960 else is going to come out. Well, a few
00:04:52.960 years ago, Rob Zombie was the theme at
00:04:55.680 Halloween Horror Nights at Universal
00:04:57.440 Studios. And what they played was all
00:05:00.240 their earlier stuff and White Zombie.
00:05:02.560 They didn't play anything from the last,
00:05:04.639 you know, 15 years.
00:05:06.479 Yep.
00:05:07.120 And so, if that's not a telltale sign to
00:05:09.680 him where he needed to go, I don't know
00:05:11.759 what is.
00:05:12.800 Yeah. Well, that is great. I enjoy that
00:05:16.400 uh quite a bit. And uh yeah, I'm going
00:05:19.440 to have to spool that up again. uh
00:05:21.919 sooner than later because that that that
00:05:24.000 makes me feel good. That takes me back
00:05:25.759 to Thunder Kiss.
00:05:27.120 That's right. And and that and again,
00:05:29.759 it's fresh enough. It's it's new. It's
00:05:31.840 it's produced right. Um they look great.
00:05:35.360 They look young and they still look like
00:05:38.000 vibrant zombies, which is wonderful.
00:05:41.039 Well, that was fun. And we may have to
00:05:42.560 do uh we may have to do another reaction
00:05:44.479 or two down the road.
00:05:46.240 Yeah, I'll I'll react to one. You know,
00:05:48.160 you pick something for me to react to
00:05:49.680 and I'll react to it. Ooh. Okay. All
00:05:51.520 right. I like the challenge. This will
00:05:53.120 be good. This will be good. All right.
00:05:54.720 Good stuff. Well done, Rob Zombie and
00:05:57.280 crew.
