It looks good. I always like his stuff when I hear it on the radio or in various movies. I might have to pick this up since I have never picked up a whole disc by him.

For you Zombie experts out there...is this a pretty good representation of his stuff? It looks like all the radio hits are on there. Is it missing anything essential? I have never listened to a whole album by him so I really don't know if this is considered a good collection. I always hate greatest hits packages that leave out 2 or 3 big hits or great songs that should have been included.

This collection looks good to me.
The only songs that I can think of off the top of my head that I wish was on the CD are Spookshow Baby (but at least the video is here) and Meet the Creeper. But I guess this set can't have everything from Hellbilly Deluxe.

Yeah it's pretty good but I would include the whole album of Astro Creep: 2000 -- Songs of Love, Destruction, and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head and the remix album Supersexy Swingin Sounds.

How can you not like songs like this:

Electric Head Pt. 2 (Sexational After Dark Mix)

More Human Than Human (Meet Bambi In The King's Harem Mix)

I, Zombie (Europe In The Raw Mix)

Grease Paint And Monkey Brains (Sin Centers of Suburbia Mix)

Blur The Technicolor (Poker From Strip To Stud Mix)

Super-Charger Heaven (Adults Only Mix)

El Phantasmo and the Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama (Wine, Women, and Song Mix)

Blood, Milk and Sky (Miss September Mix)

Real Solution #9 (Mambo Mania Mix)

Electric Head Pt. 1 (Satan in High Heels Mix)

I'm Your Boogieman (Sex on the Rocks Mix)

There's only ONE song missing:

House of 1000 Corpses [Soundtrack version]

and for the DVD, is missing one or two videos, I believe... anyway I alredy have both WHITE ZOMBIE albums and Remix album... also both ROB albums and remix album... and 1000 corpses soundtrack. but it has like six rare songs that I don't have + videos, so I'll get.

CD with a DVD. Metallica did the same thing with St.Anger and so did a couple other groups.

Agreed. This was the best song on his newest album.

If there is one album to pick up this week, this one is it! For $11.99 at Best Buy this is a no brainer!

I'm very pleased with this one. DVD disc has 7 (i think) videos. Only 2 new songs, but it is still worth the price for the set.

The two new songs are pretty good (probably from his ending of WZ to pre-solo era). The video collection is a real nice accessory. I wish he threw on a few remixes like the Matrix's Dragula version. Maybe a bit too many "Sinister Urge" and House" songs, kinda ruins those albums. Really good; I'm glad.

I got this CD... I must say, I am quite happy with it. I DO wish that "Iron Head", "House of 1000 Corpses" was on it, and "Scum of the Earth"...those are two awesome songs. add those 3 tracks and it would be perfection. The DVD is cool... i havent had a chance to see it all yet, but what I have seen is excellent.

Might I add, I had never heard that "Brick House" version with Rob Zombie, I love that track!
