This video is a mix of horror, heavy metal and a dose of Pee Wee Herman humor. "The Life And Times Of A Teenage Rock God" is over-the-top — in the best of ways — bookended by the devil himself. Musician, film director and producer Rob Zombie emailed his description of his new music video to me. He wrote:
The song is from Rob Zombie's sixth album solo album since his days with his band White Zombie. The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser has been out a few months and there's lots of love for this one. The man has sold 15 million records, though these days is known more as a film director, including a remake of John Carpenter's Halloween in 2007. Give this little film a look and listen, it's more silly than scary and that was just fine for me.
