Alright, I like Rob Zombie as much as the next guy but...what?!

his white trash style brought to the remake would have been epic

Hmmm...
I am a fan of Rob Zombie, and I am a fan of his remakes although I'll argue that even though the originals are better and always will be, I think that Rob just understands what he's putting on screen, and it kind of gave TDR and Halloween a sort of guilty-pleasure status. They're fun films, and nothing more.
As for A Nightmare On Elm Street, I think that for this type of remake, they really did want more of a commercial horror flick. I think that Rob would've understood what he wanted, and threw it on screen although the visual elements I think, would be the down part of the film. Rob loves his typical dehumanized, satanic imagery with a gritty texture over the top, which would've worked even with the original's aesthetic, but would've limited the visual range and probably would've just looked a bit tacky. Having said that, Rob is insidiously creative, and the nightmare and nightmare/reality blend sequences would've really been something. Plus, Rob does love his miserable endings.
Looking back, I can accept this idea just a tiny bit. I wouldn't want any cast members from his movies returning (maybe Scout) and I would ditch the white trash style but looking at Lords of Salem he would do the dream scenes justice. He is also great at misery and throwing grit in our faces which is what this remake needed more of.
