Why couldn’t you have this original version come out the first time around? Did it have to do with you guys switching from Geffen to Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records? Probably some of the heaviest stuff he’s recorded ever. The new songs are really dark and really heavy.
The artwork plays a huge part of it because it’s all new and it’s really dark. Well what makes the “re-edits” different? Besides the artwork and new songs. No, we didn’t re-record it, but there’s edits and there’s new music on it in the context of the record that really makes it. This is Hellbilly Deluxe 2 “redo”/the way it should be. There’s new artwork, there’s a DVD, and there’s music that’s not on the version that’s out now. This is the way the record was supposed to be the first time. It’s a deluxe version, but it’s actually the original or ‘what it was supposed’ to be version. Wait, so it’s a deluxe version or a new album altogether? So there’s a new version of the record coming out with three new songs that are in the record.
You’re not going to be able to buy it anymore. The version that’s on the market now is going away. We just did it as a band and now we’ve redone it. The first studio record, yeah, as well as the live record. You’ve been in the band for a while now, but Hellbilly Deluxe 2 is your first record with Zombie. Well with all the crazy visuals I don’t think it’ll be easy to blink. It’s an hour of power, so don’t blink or you’ll miss something. We sort of try to cram everything into one hour. We get an hour every night to do what we do. Mayhem Fest has been going on for the past few weeks now. During the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival’s stop in Camden, NJ, the bassist/guitarist sat down with Metal Insider to discuss the new version of Hellbilly Deluxe 2 (which includes three new songs, re-edits and new artwork), his experience with working with Zombie, Cooper and Joey Jordison and how the art of the album is dying in a struggling industry. In addition to playing a heavy role in Rob Zombie’s stage show and new music, as well as his own solo material, Piggy has worked as both a musician and artwork designer with artists like Alice Cooper, Lita Ford and many more.
