In buying the deluxe edition of "hellbilly deluxe" not only do you get the original cd, but a new sleeve with completely new artwork and a dvd with a video for every song on the cd and two bonus videos (for the living dead girl remix and another song that was remixed on "american made music to strip by"). It really is a great buy, especially if you don't already have this cd, in which you should definately consider purchasing this as it is one of the best rock cds of the 90's (in my humble opinion). But I must say that if you already have "hellbilly deluxe" then buy this only if you are a hardcore Rob Zombie fan (which was my case). There are no new songs, just videos that (from my understanding...) Rob Zombie shot himself. They are cool and entertaining, but since "past, present, & future" is available it has a dvd with all of his music videos and some unreleased videos as well. So, in short, a highly recommend this for those who do not already own "hellbilly deluxe" or are a huge fan of Rob Zombie. Otherwise, you should look at "past, present, & future" as it comes with more, for around the same price.

Whenever you buy a Rob Zombie album, movie, or t-shirt for that matter, he always makes sure you get your money's worth!
This CD/DVD package is not a deviation! Most of the time you see reissues of albums and it's just for more money because the "extra" stuff on it sucks. Not so here.
NEW ARTWORK THAT IS AWESOME, NEW PACKAGING WITH THE ART THAT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE, AND A DVD OF EVERY SONG ON THE ALBUM!
What's really cool about Rob Zombie's videos are that you know they are almost going to be like 5 minute B-Movies and not a video of a band playing a fake concert.
Probably one of the coolest things is that you can listen and watch the entire cd on your DVD player and it can be like 13 (or 15 with the remixed tracks) mini B horror movies while you hear the entire album! Awesome!!

Thanks again Rob!

Rob Zombie's first solo outing since disbanding White Zombie came in 1998 with "Hellbilly Deluxe"; a surprisingly pumping and enjoyable dirge that managed to overcome the repetitiveness that would plague Zombie's later releases. "Dragula" and "Living Dead Girl" became massive hits, and were soon enough overplayed and made tons of appearances on various movie soundtracks. This Deluxe Edition features the original album, plus a booklet of new artwork and a bonus DVD containing videos for every song directed by the man himself. What's really surprising here is that nearly eight years after it's original release, "Hellbilly Deluxe" is still worth headbanging to and still enjoyable, and it remains the best material that Rob Zombie has ever done solo (nothing will ever touch the magic he helped create in White Zombie). This is a great buy for fans who don't own the original copy of "Hellbilly Deluxe", but for those who already do, this isn't worth laying down the cash for unless you are an absolutely die hard fan.

Rob Zombie was the best thing to come out of the 1990's. His mix of industrial rock, horror, art and psychodelica really gave a kick in the ass to rock that was well needed during the GRUNGE decade. Rob Zombie is the new Alice Cooper for the millenium. White Zombie was great, but HELLBILLY DELUX is his musical masterpiece (Devil's Rejects being his movie masterpiece!)...This is a great, great release-musicly and now, visually with a DVD featurung a video clip for EVERY Hellbilly Delux song!!!! A bit pricey, but worth it!!! A great treat to us ZOmbie fans...Hopefully, he'll make a new cd and ALSO releases it with a DVD featuring a video for each song!!! Maybe he'll even do a rerelease like this for sinister urge!!!! What is missing is a dvd concert video, but till then, get this cd/dvd combo...

Too freaky, too demonic, too disturbing. I only ordered it so that I could watch Rob Zombie move. He must be the sexiest man alive. If I had been able to download a sample of this product, I would not of ordered it. Perhaps twenty years ago it would have appealed to me.

Many of the songs by Rob Zombie are included in the Twisted Metal Series games, such as Twisted Metal III and 4

For some unknown reason, Rob Zombie seems to revisit his old songs and then issue three slightly different versions of the same song and puts each re-mix on some movie soundtrack or compilation CD. Then he re-issues the original old album at twice the price with a few re-mixed songs added and Zombie hopes that he still has enough dumb fans out there to keep him making millions.

Most creative artists who have something left in the tank are busy making new music, but Rob Zombie just concentrates on doing re-mixes of all of his hits from the past. In this new re-mixed CD, apparently Rob Zombie completely ran out of any musical energy he had left and none of the songs are re-mixed. This time Zombie just re-shot some of the videos. This CD has two new videos of his old songs. From what I can see, four of the songs from the original CD were cut out to make room for all of the old videos and the video re-mixes. So if you never have seen all the videos, or if you really want to see them over and over again, then this steaming hot pile is for you. Otherwise, spend your money on something fresh and new by anybody who still has some creative integrity.
