In 2003 he made his directorial debut with the release of the film 'House of 1000 Corpses' to a lukewarm reception, though it garnered quite a cult-following. Its sequel, 'The Devil's Rejects,' was released in 2005. It was received much better than the first film, even getting the 'thumbs up' from well-known film critic Roger Ebert. Also in his films is his wife Sheri Moon Zombie.
In March 2006, he released his newest album, entitled "Educated Horses". The album was a more stripped down, raw rock record, and quite a departure from the techno-industrial feel of the old Zombie albums. While this change, along with Zombie's change of appearance (he lost the dreadlocks and went back to his natural hair color, blonde), upset many of his fans, it allowed Rob to experiment with his style without deviating from his core fan base.
The new album also featured two new band members. John 5, of Marilyn Manson fame, and Tommy Clufetos, the former drummer for Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper, replaced Mike Riggs and John Tempesta, who had left the band in 2003 to work on other projects.
Hellbilly Deluxe 2, released in February 2010, is the first release where Rob Zombie worked with his full touring band. Previous albums were written and recorded by Rob Zombie himself and a rotating set of musicians. Commenting on the change, Zombie stated, "I've always had a revolving roster of studio and touring musicians, but the three guys in my band now have been on tour with me for years. So we're making it as a band. It's called Rob Zombie, but we're treating it like a band.
His half-brother, Michael Cummings is the lead singer of Powerman 5000.

Rob Zombie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Convulsing together sing violently
Move the jaw, cry aloud
Bound up the dead triumphantly
Ragged they come and the ragged they kill
You pray so hard on bloody knees
Ragged they come and the ragged they kill
Hey yeah, I'm the one that you wanted
Hey yeah, I'm your superbeast
Hey yeah, I'm the one that you wanted
Hey yeah, I'm the superbeast
Stir the limbs across the wrist
Full possession of a memory
Bury me oh, as a dog
Or icy hands surrounding me
Ragged they come and the ragged they kill
You pray so hard on bloody knees
Ragged they come and the ragged they kill
Down in the cool air I can see
Hey yeah, I'm the one that you wanted
Hey yeah, I'm your superbeast
Hey yeah, I'm the one that you wanted
Hey yeah, I'm the superbeast
Shriek the lips, across a ragged tongue
Convulsing together sing violently
Move the jaw, cry aloud
Bound up the dead triumphantly
Ragged they come and the ragged they kill
You pray so hard on bloody knees
Ragged they come and the ragged they kill
Down in the cool air I can see
Hey yeah, I'm the one that you wanted
Hey yeah, I'm your superbeast
Hey yeah, I'm the one that you wanted
Hey yeah, I'm your superbeast
The lyrics of Rob Zombie's song "Superbeast" are intense and heavy. The lyrics depict a scene of violence and chaos, where the "ragged" come and kill. The singer of the song seems to be the "superbeast" that the listener desires. The repetition of "Hey yeah, I'm the one that you wanted, Hey yeah, I'm your superbeast" suggests a sense of ownership and control.
The first stanza describes the violent scene with "shriek[ing] lips," "ragged tongue," "convulsing," and "bound up the dead triumphantly." The second stanza has lines about "possess[ing] a memory," being buried "as a dog," and having "icy hands surrounding" the singer. The repetition of "Ragged they come and the ragged they kill" emphasizes the violence and chaos of the scene.
The chorus again emphasizes the singer's idea of ownership and desire, with the repeated declaration of being the "one that you wanted" and the "superbeast." Overall, the lyrics create a dark and brutal image that fits with Rob Zombie's style and themes in his music.

@tostig549
Rob zombie managed to pull off the elusive art of never ageing. He adopted the unorthodox strategy of making himself look like a 65 year old when he wasn’t even close to middle aged
@a-1455
True genius right there, look elderly when young so when you’re actually elderly you don’t look a single day older
@gerryfromthevoid8986
God-tier strategy
@greenbeans12
Either that or he's immortal
@jessicawagers2321
He is HOT in Real Life!! He has a SEXY Wife as well!!!
@gerryfromthevoid8986
@Jessica Wagers HELL YEAH!!!

The producer: "So, how many effects do I add to this?"

@desicatz
