Zombie: 'I don't care when movies use my music'

Rob Zombie has admitted that he doesn't care when other films use his music.

The 44-year-old filmmaker and rock musician has insisted that he is only concerned with the music highlighted in his films and no-one else's.

Zombie told Billboard: "I've had a philosophy with my music being in movies for a long time: I don't care. I say yes to everything, it doesn't matter to me. Some of the movies are great, and it's cool. Some of the movies are crap - who cares?

"I worry about the music in my movies. But at one point it was becoming so ridiculous, I would watch TV and there would be a couple of different trailers running, and they were all using the same song at the same time. Remember when you'd go see any movie, and James Brown's 'I Feel Good' would come on? That's what 'More Human Than Human' became. I was like, 'Oh my God, it's become a f**king cliché!'

"So, whatever. I like that it pops up unexpectedly. Like, I was watching Entourage, and I had a song in that, and I didn't even realise it. I was like, 'Oh, that's cool'."
