MTV.com talked to Rob Zombie about the upcoming album Educated Horses…

“Before Ozzfest, I didn’t have any plans to tour again at all. I was sort of sick of it, truthfully. Everything with my last band started to turn ugly and it wasn’t that fun,” he explained. “With the new band, I just had such a good time that really, as corny as it sounds, it seemed like the old days, we’re having a band, we’re playing and it’s just fun. Once being in a band turns stressful, you go, ‘What the f— am I doing?’ It was really fun, and we came off the tour and started making a record and it just clicked. The record … we were like, ‘These are the best songs ever. It would be stupid not to finish it.”

 

Back in October, Zombie and the band entered Los Angeles’ Chop Shop Studios to write and record the follow-up to 2001’s The Sinister Urge; Zombie co-produced the album with Scott Humphrey. On Friday, the guys put the finishing touches on the LP, called Educated Horses. Zombie said the disc will include 11 tracks including an acoustic number called “Death of It All,” “Seventeen Year Locusts” and the album’s first single, “Foxy, Foxy” and should land in stores on March 28.
