Zombie: I remember seeing a television interview with Kiss mastermind Gene Simmons. He was asked who his favorite new band was, and without a moment's hesitation, he replied, "White Zombie". Amidst the maudlin rock music that was coming out at the time, White Zombie was such a relief to those who missed the campy shock rock of the likes of Alice Cooper, Kiss, W.A.S.P., and to a lesser extent, M?tley Cr?e. Here was some brutally heavy, yet incredibly catchy music that reveled in B-movie kitsch, embracing metal, industrial, and even disco, while referencing slasher movies and Russ Meyer flicks. It was like a twisted, unholy mix of The Misfits, Ministry, KC & the Sunshine Band, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Parliament, and The Carrie Nations (of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls notoriety), and as evidenced by such insipid choruses as "Devil man! Devil man!", the humor was always there in the music.
John Tempesta's brother Mike played for Powerman 5000. John currently drums for System of a Down.
For years the televised show ECW used the song Thunderkiss '65 as the opening music for the show.
