The Chickens Concert Series #7:Rob Zombie and Ozzy

Oh Man! How much awesomeness was that all in one place?! A lot! That's how much. This might have to encompass concert series #8 too! Rob Zombie put on a highly entertaining show. It had everything you'd want: the drums were set up on top of a giant devil head, movies were playing on big screens, and halfway through superbeast, a giant zombie robot thing, came out and danced (I'm pretty sure it was the two dancing girls inside that suit, they're multitalented). Anyway, excellent show, and Ozzy? Well, Ozzy is Ozzy isn't he!? His show started with a hilarious video with Ozzy in various TV shows (including such shows as Lost and The Office) and ended with fireworks on the stage. Definitely awesome sauce! He was a little unintelligable when he talked but he sung the songs very well and he jumped around and danced and was generally kickass. Anyway, I found a few clips of the concert on YouTube, see below.


Fun Facts: Rob Zombie (aka Rob Cummings born in 1965), went to college but dropped out to follow music. He worked as a Technician on PeeWee's Playhouse (Ha!)! He was in the band White Zombie (named after a 1932 Bela Lugosi movie) from 1985 to 1995 after which he began persuing his solo career. Of course he's made movies and things but also, he made a comic book called "The Adventures of El Superbeasto" which is supposed to become a cartoon later. You can learn other stuff from Wikipedia (just like I did), I just thought those things were neat.

Ozzy (born John Michael Osbourne in 1948) plays the harmonica. Ummm...upon further research there is very little other information available on this relatively unknown musician - I believe he sings mostly dance-funk fusion, likes rainbows and kittens and his pet peeves are swearing and mean people. And once he did a Christmas duet with Jessica Simpson.

An unexpected (to me but not to people who knew what to expect) highlight of the concert was Zakk Wylde's (born Jeffrey Phillip Wiedlandt in 1967, founder of the band Black Label Society) guitar solo. You gotta love this guy! He has this long blond hair and through a lot of the concert he would stand in front of this large fan and play these amazing metal solos, just picture it! Haha! Classic! Here is some of his solo:

p.s. That Jessica Simpson thing is actually true.
