Released in 2006, Educated Horses is a break from Zombie's usual style. Blasko and Humphrey remained, and the five began recording Educated Horses. In 2005, Zombie returned to the music world by recruiting former Marilyn Manson guitarist, John 5, and former Alice Cooper drummer, Tommy Clufetos. Since January 6, 1999, it has been the opening theme for Stern's radio show. In 1997, Zombie contributed a song entitled "The Great American Nightmare" for the Howard Stern movie, Private Parts. The song was nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance the same year. It was Zombie's first work outside of his band White Zombie. In 1996, Zombie collaborated with Alice Cooper on the song "Hands of Death (Burn Baby Burn)" for the X-Files tie-in CD Songs in the Key of X. His next film will be the upcoming Tyrannosaurus Rex. Zombie has also established a successful career as a film director, creating the movies House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, the 2007 remake of Halloween, its sequel, and The Haunted World of El Superbeasto. He founded the heavy metal band White Zombie and has been nominated three times as a solo artist for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.

In this day and age, I can think of far more diabolical things.Rob Zombie -2010- Hellbilly Deluxe 2 (Reissue) While recreating the infectious, fire-and-brimstone vibe of his genre-defining, solo debut may be next to impossible, Rob Zombie has put forth an effortlessly fun album to digest-one that thrives on the depraved escapism of monsters, movies and mini-skirts. (Check out the Music Machine's 1966 burner, "Trouble" for the genuine article.) About three-quarters of the way "Burn" and "Death And Destiny Inside The Dream Factory" tend to get a tad tedious in the quasi-industrial haze, but Zombie pulls a surly little demon-rabbit out of his tattered hat in the marvelously mad "Werewolf Women of the SS," another throwback to his '60s punk influences.
"What?" is one of the strongest numbers in the set with a raw, wiry '60s garage feel, complete with swirling organ riffs and drag-strip flair. "Sick Bubblegum" is a chugging mover that's similar in feel to the original Hellbilly's "Living Dead Girl," sans the ghoulish charm. "Jesus Frankenstein" opens the proceedings as a stomping, sinister-glam prelude that struts along to vintage Van Halen riffery and a call-to-arms chorus. And while it's true that there's still a disaffected, tongue-in-cheek aspect to be had, he's struck gold with a consistent band lineup that includes his musical soul mate of sorts, ex-Manson guitarist John 5, whose swaggering chops bring a colorful musicality to the mix. It's easy to look at Zombie's musical career as pastiche, an aural vehicle for his vast knowledge of pop culture. But beyond the ghastly headshot, it's by far his best work since the original, released over a decade ago. Despite his success making major motion pictures, Rob Zombie has not joined Hollywood's glitterati-the cover of his new disc Hellbilly Deluxe 2 is ample proof of that.
