Every day in November, we’re revisiting choice metal moments from That Metal Show. Today, we’ve got a rollicking twofer of shock rock royalty from Season 5 with Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie.
First up, Cooper debates TMS co-hosts Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine, and Don Jamieson as to who towers mightiest among his two top theatrical metal offspring: Rob Zombie or Marilyn Manson?
Alice and Jim vote one way; Eddie and Jim go the other. The one definitive answer is revealed with a sudden appearance from a surprise superstar that is not to be missed.
Second up, Rob Zombie joins the boys for a Lightning Round of questions in which he reveals the best prank he’s pulled on the road, the golden rule of his tour bus (besides “Don’t take a number two”), and, if he had a choice, what one time period Rob would most want to live in (hint: it’s not the square 1950s).
After taking all that in, don’t forget to come back tomorrow for another trip to That Metal Show’s video vaults.
