Rob Zombie Slams His Own Fans Hating On Babymetal

Crown prince of metal theatrics, Rob Zombie, has shut down a slew of his own fans who were hating on bubblegum metal band, Babymetal, after the musician/film director shared a photo of himself meeting the trio.

As Loudwire writes, a number of his fans wrote that Zombie should be ashamed of himself and that the girls were "a shameful embarrassment to anything metal", to which Zombie retorted, "These three girls had more energy than 90 percent of the bands we play with" and "they roll harder than you". 

In answer to another fan who wrote, "I'm a grown man and this makes me want to cry … Their (alleged) music makes me want to kill things", Zombie replied, "Hey they are nice kids out on the road touring. What are you doing besides being a grumpy old fuck?"

Babymetal themselves commented on the post with thanks to the metal legend. "Thank you Rob! The Spirit of HEAVY METAL traversed across the World, rose above language barriers, went beyond generations and created countless legends. See you again at Northern Invasion!" they wrote.
