Rock Band Weekly: Rob Zombie, White Zombie, The Darkness
Rob Zombie and, by extension, White Zombie scare us. It's not a Slipknot kind of visceral scare, but more of a brooding terror. So, we'll be using a picture of a bulldog puppy in a pumpkin this week. Next week's Rock Band DLC features the aforementioned Zombies and a track from The Darkness.
