Rob Zombie is holding back from debuting too much new material off Hellbilly Deluxe 2 on his current tour. However, he tells MTV News that the new songs he is playing "are connecting in an amazing way, considering that most of the audience doesn't know the songs. There are certain songs — 'Sick Bubble-Gum' in particular — that if you didn't know anything about us and you just came to the show, from the crowd reaction you would assume that was an old favorite we were playing. Sometimes you play new songs and people think, 'Maybe I'll like it later,' but people are digging it now, which is nice." He added, "One song that we've been doing at sound check is 'Mars Needs Women.' I'm really looking forward to playing it because it's got such a great groove. We would already play it if everybody didn't bootleg every little thing you do. The whole album would be online if we played any more." Hellbilly Deluxe 2 will be out via Zombie's new label home of Roadrunner Records on February 2.
