Lamb of God‘s Randy Blythe performing Rob Zombie‘s “Dragula” on a rock cruise alongside alt-metal guitarist Sahaj Ticotin of the band Ra? What more could a metal fan want?!
Those aboard ShipRocked 2023 last week witnessed that unique live cover version and much more when the Lamb of God lead vocalist and Ticotin joined cruise house band The Stowaways onstage Thursday (Jan. 26) to play the 1998 Hellbilly Deluxe single, Zombie’s signature solo song, as Metal Injection reported.

Billed as the “ultimate rock cruise,” ShipRocked set sail from Florida Jan. 22 on the Carnival Magic ship. Last week, it departed the Dominican Republic as The Stowaways took the stage.
But the Rob Zombie cover wasn’t the only classic metal track Blythe performed with The Stowaways, who include guitarists Andy Wood and Benjamin Eller along with drummer James Campbell. During the very same set, former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson joined in to cover Metallica’s “One.”
Last year, Lamb of God released the album Omens. This summer, the Blythe-fronted act will join the reunited Pantera on the road for a stretch of North American tour dates.
