White Zombie - August 10th 1993 - Norwalk, CT (Full Show)

Some old white zombie back before Rob went solo. Great stuff, someone else recorded this from the back of the stage, but its still pretty good quality and worth the watch!

[@BadApple4Life]

I still hate myself for going to this show and letting the guy I was 👀 talk me into leaving to see a friend's band in Hartford 😢We never even went in. I heard the music 🎶 start as I pulled away. I will never forgive myself for letting a guy who clearly didn't know good music, even when I shoved it in his face, convince me to leave 😂 I shoulda just gone by myself 😂

I can tell you from first hand experience, Pantera and White Zombie was one of the best shows ever!

[@BrimstoneBimbo]

SEAN!!!!!! FUCKING BAD ASS. \m/ No chick rocks as hard and as badass as she does, I'm mesmerized.

[@jessicaturner7196]

totally agree. I straight up loved her aura. Her stage performance was phenomenal. I saw them open for Pantera in 94 and she was one of the best things about the whole show. To this day only 2 other bands surpassed that performance and I've seen some bad ass fucking shows, TOOL and Sevendust are in that top 3. Love her ass hard fucking core man.

[@jaysonlee4394]

Check out Jo Bench from Bolt Thrower..she is a badass too..

[@TheIndustrialRetrospective]

It's a shame Rob can't put the past behind him and celebrate this bands legacy. IMO it's probably got something to do with his wife...

[@aguilargabriel7]

I really miss this kick ass band. My best concert memory: White Zombie + Pantera @ LA Forum 1996. WHAT A RUSH!

[@hankatstricklandpropane]

Here's the thing that set White Zombie apart from everybody else: Every show they did was an experience, not just a linear set of loud noises. Jay and Sean's aggressive riffs combined with Rob's showmanship was an incredible mix, and (at least in my opinion) nothing has come close to their energy/groove ever since.

[@andyhartford5223]

A few people mentioned Ivan DePrume was on drums here but he actually left the band in 1992. If I'm correct, this was his replacement Phil Buerstatte. (RIP). IMO, Ivan was the driving force and one of the highlights of the awesome La Sexorcisto album!

[@stimpy2695]

This is Phil, you can totally tell when it's Ivan cause his drum kit sound. & I agree Ivan is a total highlight of the La Sexorcisto album!

[@steve_m2473]

Yep, Ivan's sound and cadence is such a big part of La Sexorcisto's sound. Nobody sounds quite like him and the songs really sound best with Ivan playing them (no offense to Phil or the others).

[@dakotawinston7677]

Sean stated that she felt when Ivan left that that was the beginning of the end of the band. I can hear why. Ivan fit the bands vibe better than anyone.

[@catladytrucker7608]

​@@dakotawinston7677Yeah, for me, Ivan/La Sexorcisto was the pinnacle. Sean had been in another band with Ivan and she brought him over to join her in Zombie. Yeah, I would have too! He's an exceptional drummer and a big part of what made La Sex so fucking good... even more so when you realize how young he was (just out of high school). Rob treated Ivan very poorly... so very poorly. What a damn shame.

[@johnjenson670]

I was at this show. This place was really small. A couple hundred at most. It was so loud, the music vibrated you. It was insane. Bodies on top of you every two minutes. Opening band was The Melvins who were equally as good if not better. I was 19.

I first saw White Zombie open for Danzig in 1992. I had seen the Thunder Kiss video and thought it was awful. I left the show in 1992 in love with White Zombie. Went out and bought the CD the next day. I saw them perform one more time during the Astro Creep tour. I still liked Rob's solo stuff, but I've never seen him in concert after White Zombie.

[@187Finch]

Sean Yseult just kills it i was there Wolverhampton civic centre back in the days🤘

[@WilliamShannonStamey]

Sean, you are so indescribably badass..

[@brainphreak]

I would love a new white zombie tour, but I figure Rob Zombie basically just took over where they left off. Many times he is playing the old white zombie music and even has guests which were involved at times.But would be great to see all the original line up for sure!

[@kingpenschoepke9758]

Sean can handle a bass pretty good.

[@jhinckley136]

There were two or three opening acts (WZ headlined). I can't recall who they were, but they weren't famous (even then). Anthrax wasn't one of the acts. The bassist was Sean Yseult and yes, she is a very beautiful, talented, intelligent and kind woman.

[@Vincere]

Thanks for posting. I was lucky to see them many times even before they had La Sexorcisto. I have so many good memories of this band.

[@pablojosegarciacounago7265]

Amazing performance and amazing stage performance by Rob. I don't understand some of the critics about the way he sounds live. It's true that on many live performances of WZ years that we can find online, he's constantly out of breath, and attending to things that have been said, his behaviour wasn't profesional during those years, but let's look at him here and the way he moves. Even the greatest singers would have breath problems moving like that, and if we add his asthma problem... His presence here shows an amazing energy and his vocals are correct during many moments of the show

[@mass627]

Did anyone notice the intro is the initial part of the song "Grease Paint and Monkey Brains" from astro creep 2000 album? Amazing!!!

[@polifkaklok]

The samples are really skillfully integrated into this performance. So glad they included them, they're my favorite parts of a bunch of their songs.

[@sykotik333]

finally a good preformance. rob still fails most of his lines but this is wayyy better than any of the astrocreep era live stuff around lol.

[@zogmorp]

In all his interviews about the White Zombie days he always talks about how everyone in the band hated each other. But I'm guessing that it was just Rob that couldn't get along with any of his bandmates.

[@chrisroyal1563]

I'm not pro Rob at all,...and I have my reasons that are very personal and ligit. But in his defense he isn't forgetting the lyrics or a studio artist and that's it. Its because his stage presence and the way he runs around so much he gets winded.

[@RealDrButcher]

@@chrisroyal1563 all the band members have always said he NEVER practiced with the band and it clearly shows. If he would’ve practiced with everyone else he wouldn’t get so winded so fast. WZ is an all time favorite, but I’ve always hated how bad Rob was live when watching old videos.

Thank you for replying a stupid amount of times to a question that has been answered equally as many. Your contribution is invaluable.

[@tilleyscottjustine]

Say what you will, and I agree White Zombie was a band but Rob was still the element that made it original and gave it that crazy vision. Few would say his solo stuff is better than White Zombie but his solo stuff is better than all the other member's solo stuff.

[@pablojosegarciacounago7265]

I think that La Sexorcisto and Astro Creep were the most original and influencial records that Rob has ever made. WZ was unique band with great musicians. It's my favourite period of his career. But I know people that prefer his solo stuff, and their have their own reasons too. His first two solo records are amazing. They are more comercial and "fm oriented" but with really good classic tunes too.

They really should put this kind of rare stuff on DVD. The DVD that comes with Sleeping Corpses box set has a few gems, but there are still a lot of unreleased live performances and demos lurking on KZbin, waiting to be remastered and released by the band itself...

[@andrewhigdon8346]

a rather eccentric, dark, quiet friend of mine called one day the summer of la sexorcisto tour. "We gotta go see this band, White Zombie, named after an old Bela Lugosi movie." just the fact that this wallflower dude went out of his way to get me to go to this caught my interest. i go to his house and he plays the video for Thunderkiss '65 and I'm floored. To me at the time they seemed to be the best of both worlds. Like Chili Peppers (Blood,Sugar,Sex,Magic had MAYBE just come out-I knew Mother'sMilk), bad brains (happened to read at the time that Dr. Know was a huge influence on J), Ministry, and Slayer(angular riffs). What more could you want?!?! We roll up to Myrtle Beach(Purple Gator was the club) from Charleston, wait on his friend to bring us tickets he bought for us(a local and way before etix), and we walk in to see Sean Yseult's beautiful locks leaving the stage. FUUUUUUUCKKKK! They were the opener for CofC(Blind Tour) and Testament(whatever-during one of their "ballads", about 150 dudes were mock jerking it because of how lame it was after the CofC show- which is a story unto itself. I'll try to do a short version of events. Corrosion gets going, and the singer stops the show after seeing an overzealous security guy punching a fan right in front. (Needle flys off record) he calls out the guy and the club and security in general. After what was probably 5 minutes but seemed an hour, singer comes out and asks crowd if they want asshole bouncers or none at all. crowd erupts with, "fuck security" chant. A few minutes later CofC comes back out and FULL BLOWN CHAOS ensues!! one of the craziest and most fun times of my life. I came to see White Zombie. Left wanting to buy the new CofC album. I've managed hundreds of mosh pits, but it was RAINING stage divers that evening. Nothing quite like running around in a counterclockwise whirlpool of brothers you've never met, while a knee, hip, skull, or whatever was landing on your head every few seconds, all the while laughing your ass off. shoes and shirts were flying everywhere. insanity for awhile then Testament. Kinda hard to follow a show like what CofC had just done. Testament obviously were "off" that night. When they did "Into the Pit", most of the crowd was like, "really, did you not see what just happened here?!" then the mock jerking and heckles about being pussies squashed any chances of a great show. poor Testament, how were they to know Myrtle Beach wasn't just mullets and neon? I mean, even as a progressive South Kackalackian, "don't front bitches, cause we'll fuck you up just for looking North." I tried to like Testament after that, but uhhhh, no. Blind was a great album, but La Sexorcisto seemed to have been written just for me and my tastes. Heavy, groovy, sexy, twisted, psychedelic, dark, out there, songs that defied meaning, fucking art!! still a fave album. and an unforgettable night And honestly that's just the beginning of the insanity........

[@eibmoz76]

I think Rob sounds pretty good here, the best i have found over the years. Maybe its the smaller stage, less space to move and run around, so he's not out of breath. Great performance, great band.

[@LPLives-l2y]

Rob is one of the luckiest "singers" out there. He got some of the grooviest musicians to play music with, because we all know ain't nobody there to watch a man who can barely sing live perform. Even his original solo stuff is all written by other musicians, he just does the lyrics and use studio magic on his voice. He has done good though, for a man who sings maybe 50% of his lyrics live.

[@brandedcfh420]

saw that tour in houston tx that year....great fkn night indeed!!

[@jhinckley136]

I was at that show and yes, it was a very small club.

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

I always see people complaining about how bad Rob sings in WZ, but honestly, with the type of music that WZ is, absolute perfect vocals are completely unneeded. The music is more about groov and feel. If you took out Robs vocals all together the songs would still be heavy and groovy as fuck. Rob doesn't need to sing like a fucking angel.

[@savegal2987]

+BIGxBOSSxx1 Let it go man, Rob sucks and J is a fucking machine with that robin guitar.

I disagree, completely. Being out of breath, constantly and shouting "yeah" at the end of every part, hurts the live aspect. On the WZ albums, he sounded great, but he sounds terrible live.

I watched an interview and they all arrived to the show separately, played, and then left seperately without so much as saying "hello". The last album, each sent their tracks in from all over the country and the studio mixed it. They couldn't even be in the same room with each other. And your hoping they get back together?
