Zombie and Slayer are bringing Hell on Earth – or at least the Hell On Earth tour – to Canada. The musician and filmmaker recently spoke to QMI Agency about the tour and the friendly competition between the Slayer and Zombie camps.
"There's always that feeling [of competition]. Any band who walks onstage and doesn't care about that is... well, kind of weird", he said.
"
I don't know how you couldn't. You want to go out there and be the best you can. At the same time, it's nice when the bands aren't trying to do the same thing. Our show is more theatrical than theirs, and obviously we don’t play as fast and heavy as they do."
Zombie also talked about his former hobby of collecting movie memorabilia, an interest he shared with the late Johnny Ramone.
"I have more than I could ever display. But really, my friend Johnny Ramone was the collecting friend I had on that subject", he said.
"And after he died, I lost interest. One of the last things I got was a poster he sent me. He had bought this amazing, huge French Wolf Man poster just before he died. That was the last thing I ever got from him."
