Rob Zombie is on tour with Marilyn Manson
In an interview with Canadian radio station Chom , Rob Zombie Slayer 's retirement , as they are currently on their farewell tour.
“No rock guy retires…they just die, that’s why they retire. When I hear ‘Slayer is retiring’ I say ‘No way!’. They think they want to be home and have a life. After two years they’ll be back on the road. That’s what we were made for – we’re crazy and we need to do this. I don’t know why. And I don’t see any retirement, ever. We’ll keep going until we can’t anymore.”
“I was watching some footage of Mick Jagger from a recent [ Rolling Stones ] show. He’s 74, and he’s amazing. Sure, he looks old. Who cares? And you look at Ron Wood – he looks the same guy, except he looks like an older version [of himself]. It’s pretty cool. And Iggy Pop .” According to Rob, people are surprised to see so many older musicians still playing because “nobody’s ever seen it happen before.” He added, “We think, ‘Oh, rock stars are young and cute, and then they die at 27.’ But there’s something cool about it… They look like they’ve been through war – these war-scarred maniacs on stage; there’s something cool about that.”
