Official Discussion Thread - 10/25 DLC: Rob Zombie, White Zombie, and The Darkness

[Der_Lex]

Fresh tracks from White Zombie are creeping towards the Rock Band Music Store on October 25th, kicking into overdrive with “Thunder Kiss ’65,” from the band’s 1992 major label debut, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1. White Zombie fans can also pick up “Super-Charger Heaven” – known to many as “Devilman” due to the song’s repeating, hard-driving chorus – from 1995’s Astro-Creep: 2000.

And for those who were trying to solve all the clues...

Ebony (black) and Ivory (white) = The Darkness and White Zombie

The Black Lantern ring is from the Blackest Night comic event (another Darkness reference) and brought many characters back as zombies (another White/Rob Zombie reference).

Lady Frankenstein: Living Dead Girl (my personal favorite song of the week) opens with a quote from the trailer for that movie. (watch it here, it's the second line)

Rooftop Storm is obviously a reference to White Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65 (it even mentions Zombies in the effect text).

The pirate costumes were for Halloween, of course. Something needs to balance out the zombies, and I've already done enough ninja posting in the thread.

Everything else was pretty much a red herring.

Congrats to Dog for randomly guessing a song right before I'd even started hinting.

I Believe In a Thing Called Love omgomg

[Plutarch]

I was under the impression we already had Thunder Kiss '65. Guess not. But man, I think the big news this week is The Darkness. That's going to be EPIC. Goodbye vocal chords.
