Rob Zombie wasted no time in asserting a alternative for bassist Piggy D., who revealed his exit earlier within the day. Rob “Blasko” Nicholson can be returning to the band, per Zombie.
In an Instagram put up, Zombie confirmed the information. He wrote, “After 18 years I am thrilled to announce that BLASKO has returned! The original 4 string Zombie monster is back. Get ready for a crazy summer of mayhem.” Zombie then shared a photograph of the present lineup that features Mike Riggs on guitar and Ginger Fish on drums. He hashtagged the put up: #freaksonparadetour #robzombie #blasko #riggs #gingerfish
Blasko’s History With Rob Zombie
As acknowledged, this can be a return engagement for Blasko, who first served as Zombie’s bassist between 1997 and 2006, final acting on Educated Horses. At the time, Blasko left Zombie’s band to play with Ozzy Osbourne. That was when Piggy D. was added to the lineup.
Fans of Zombie will be aware that the lineup now contains three fourths of the lineup from his first post-White Zombie solo album (John Tempesta was the unique drummer). Riggs, who exited after The Sinister Urge to give attention to his personal band Scum of the Earth, returned to the Zombie lineup in 2022 after John 5’s exit.
