Rob Zombie will release his sixth album The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser on April 29th.
Zombie says, “This album is the best thing we’ve done to date, and we can’t wait to share it with you. We mean it. It’s the most f–ked-up thing we’ve ever done. We spent so much time putting this monster together and it’s been worth it because this thing is about to explode. And if you don’t believe how f–ked up this album is, take a look at the tracklist. Shit gets weird.”
The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser is available for pre-order through the band’s PledgeMusic page.
Zombie, guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D and drummer Ginger Fish will play several US festivals later this year, including a set at the Northern Invasion Festival, Wisconsin, on May 14th-15th at the Somerset Amphitheatre.

With almost 300,000 watching on YouTube, Manager Todd Singerman led the ceremony, “Man, I hate using these words in past tense.”
He proceeded to pass the mic to Lemmy’s son Paul, “He had a feeling something was wrong in August. We will know the pain he was in … all of his years he was a stage warrior. Having moved mount everest, the show would go on. He wasn’t just a musician and songwriter … he was a figurehead. He set the bar. It was about keeping it real. Performing was everything to him. He was Lemmy all the time. He wasn’t a poseur. He paid his his dues. Motörhead’s last album was a struggle … it never revealed his frailed health. Born to lose, live to win. He wasn’t religious, but he was profoundly spiritual. He never tolerated anybody talking over music … especially his! Music wasn’t a background to him. Nobody on this earth posed his brand of humor. He was 100% real. I won the lottery when I got Lemmy. You were perfect. You are on the road to the great great gig in the sky.”
Then, the musicians spoke:
Guns N’ Roses Slash said, “Lemmy was somebody that I feel blessed to be friends with. He was such a a f–king great example of what my peers wanted to be. More integrity than anybody. 100 loyal. All these fine attributes. When I got sober he was so disappointed when I didn’t greet him with a flask of Jack Daniels.”
Judas Priest’s Rob Halford stated, “Over the years we’ve had some amazing times. We always looked forward to seeing the lads. When I was in the the presence of lord Lemmy. I was overwhelmed. As we know, the music lives forever.”
Anthrax’ Scott Ian commented, “Elvis you taught us how to dress, how to look. It was Carl Perkins and Little Richard how to sound. And it was The Beatles who taught us we could to write our own songs. And Lemmy it was you who taught us that we could be f–king real.”
Metallica’s Lars Ulrich declared, “I lived and breathed every note they sang. Lemmy was so hospitable and the ultimate party host. I’ve always cited Motorhead and Lemmy as in the inspiration and the primary reason Metallica exists musically and attitude wise. So thank you Lemmy for shaping who I am today.
Foo Fighter’s Dave Grohl revealed, “There is not enough time to tell you what Lemmy meant to me. He’s my person … he’s the one that bridged my love of ACDC and Sabbath and Zeppelin … and my love with GBH, the Ramones and Black Flag.
Lemmy Kilmister died on December 28th at the age of 70 following a brief battle with an aggressive cancer.
Well, it looks like our very own Eddie Trunk was correct, and ahead of the curve, Guitar Player reports that joining Guns N’ Roses members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan onstage at Coachella, will be: keyboardist Dizzy Reed, multi-instrumentalist Chris Pitman, guitarist Richard Fortus and drummer Frank Ferrer.
According to Guitar Player, there is still no confirmation on the participation of Dave Kushner, the Velvet Revolver guitarist, who is rumored to be in the lineup. Nor have we heard confirmation that original drummer Steven Adler will be getting behind the set. Adler is reportedly in negotiations with the band.
The Coachella Music & Arts Festival is scheduled for April 15th-17th & April 22nd-24th in Indio, California. For more information about this event, please visit gunsnroses.com..
