Babymetal 'roll harder' than their haters, according to Rob Zombie.

Japanese metal idols / Super Mario stand-ins Babymetal aren’t exactly beloved by the metalhead community, who generally consider them about as legitimately metal as Mystic Triangle. Nevertheless, the trio of Su-metal, Yuimetal, and Moametal have their fans, and now they can count monster masher supreme Rob Zombie as one.

Zombie posted the following image to his Facebook page, in which makes his position re: the idol/metal group clear: He likes ’em!

Of course, certain elements of Zombie Nation couldn’t take Rob’s endorsement of the trio lying down, and just had to voice their disapproval to make sure everyone knows a group called Babymetal might not be 100% unironic. Thankfully, Zombie isn’t one to let his fans’ comments stay unchallenged, and so we get golden exchanges like the following:

To be fair to the Cashman, at this point in his career, it’s probably not hard to find bands that have more energy than the groups Rob Zombie regularly tours with.

Anyway, for their part, Babymetal are stoked:

The spirit of HEAVY METAL lives on, in cargo cult idol groups.
