Disco Death Rock<\/p><\/div>\n
The opening “act,” Disco Death Rock, was a DJ wearing a mask and running music off of a MacBook. The music played was a great selection of heavy metal hits, but this DJ added no performance that made this any better than a CD being played over the PA. Some DJs get really into it and move along to the music. While there was some occasional movement, I would have been surprised if he was actually browsing Facebook on his computer. I’m sure having a DJ instead of an opening band is to save costs for these smaller venues, but I say just let the music play without the underwhelming show. Soon enough, however, Zombie took the stage\u00a0in front of a\u00a0sold out Providence crowd. They kicked off the set with a cover of Grand Funk Railroad’s “We’re an American Band,” and then straight into “Superbeast,” off of Rob’s 1998 solo debut,\u00a0Hellbilly Deluxe<\/em>.<\/p>\n Rob Zombie<\/p><\/div>\n Setlist<\/span> A handful of songs off of Zombie’s most recent album,\u00a0Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor<\/em>, were mixed into the setlist, and while I wasn’t a huge fan of the album, they mixed seamlessly into the set. The set also included standard White Zombie hits “More Human than Human” and “Thunder Kiss ’65.” This was a great show to see at Lupo’s. All the other times I’ve seen Rob have been at the Tweeter\/Comcast\/Xfinity center. Due to the size of the venues on the tour, there’s much less stage production, (i.e. no pyrotechnics, giant robots, etc.), but they still put on a\u00a0large\u00a0show.<\/p>\n In recent years, I’ve heard\u00a0some live performances where vocally, Rob\u00a0has\u00a0left me disappointed. I was worried that without the big stage show, he’d have nothing to hide behind, but I was very impressed at how good he sounded. The band was\u00a0really tight… guitarist John 5, bass player Piggy D and drummer Ginger Fish all played great.<\/p>\n\n\t\t![\"\"](\"http:\/\/newenglandmusicblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSC_0509-WM-200x300.jpg\")
