I saw Rob Zombie perform once, it was at Ozzfest 1999. The lineup that year was positively insane, with bands the likes of Deftones, Slayer, Primus featuring Buckethead, System of a Down, Slipknot, Godsmack, Drain STH, Fear Factory, and Black Sabbath all throwing up the horns for one hell of an afternoon worth of loud, pulse-pounding rock n roll.
This morning, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 director James Gunn posted a photo to his Instagram account, which revealed that the theatrical goth rocker and filmmaker, Rob Zombie, stopped by the recording studio to lend his vocals to a character in the film. Alongside the photo, James posted the following comment:
"There are two things you can be sure of in my films: 1) There will be a character named Fitzgibbon. And 2) There will be a @robzombieofficial voice cameo. Yesterday Rob came by to lend his voice to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Now it'll be up to you guys to find it. #GotGVol2 #robzombie"
It's up to us to find it, eh James? I'm fairly certain that I'll be able to figure it out. The news of Zombie's involvement in the making of the hotly-anticipated Marvel sequel comes on the wings of just about every other tidbit of information that has dropped over the past few weeks, with fans foaming at the mouth just to get a taste of more intergalactic adventures featuring Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and of course, Baby Groot.
Will you be able to pick Zombie's unique voice out of the crowd? What's your favorite White Zombie or Rob Zombie song? And hey, while we're at it, if it was announced that Rob Zombie was set to direct a major film for Marvel, which character or team would you like to see him take on? Let us know in the comments section below!
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 lands in theaters on May 5, 2017!
