Number one on the list is the €œMaster of Horror€ himself, Rob Zombie. His stage show has plenty of theatrics, including robots, zombies, smoke and fire balls. Guitarist John 5 breaks into solos throughout the set where he does things like play with his teeth. Zombie constantly talks to the crowd and the crowd responds to his prods to sing with an unbridled vigor. During his headlining tour last year, he even gave fans a glimpse of his film €œLords of Salem,€ which released in April. It€™s an all-encompassing experience that€™s closer to theater than a concert, but that€™s what makes it so awesome. It assaults viewers on multiple levels of entertainment and is a must see. His band recently released a new album, €œVenomous Rat Regeneration Vendor,€ and they are headlining Rockstar Mayhem Fest this summer.
