Rob Zombie Says Entitled Attitude Can Kill a Lot of Music Careers
Rob Zombie has a pretty solid grasp on the music industry at this point, having started with White Zombie and now spending over a decade as a solo artist, so he speaks from a place of knowledge and young rockers would be wise to be taking notes.
The singer tells Spin that attitude and believing your own hype has brought down many a performer over the years. He explains, “I remember when White Zombie got signed to Geffen. That’s when all the bands were getting signed to Geffen. There was this one mistake a lot of bands made, and they still make it. You’re still some unknown band nobody gives two s—ts about – you just happened to be signed by a label. Bands suddenly copped an attitude, and suddenly they were egotistical and annoying. They thought they were big shots, but they were still nobody.”
