WAYNE STATIC SEEMS TO KNOW THAT STATIC-X SUCKS

 Monday, July 9th, 2007 at 1:45pm by

Wayne StaticIn the recent “Warped 2007″ issue of Metal Edge magazine (I needed reading material for an airplane trip, ok?) a feature on Static-X frontman and founder Wayne Static proves what we all already know to be true: his band sucks.

He of the rubber-banded beard has a few interesting things to say. To start things off, he admits that his band’s success had more than a little bit to do with luck: “We were at the right place at the right time with the right video for the right song and everything just clicked.” Good to know you have confidence in your band’s ability, Wayne!

Mr. Static goes on to talk about the success of the band’s first record Wisconsin Death Trip and trying to get back to that sound with the new material. “Look at our first record. It’s very much one guitar riff and one drum beat songs.” Way to inspire anticipation in your readers, Wayne! That sounds AWESOME! I’m dying to relive the shitfest that was your early music.

To cap it off, Static equates his band’s longevity with Slayer; “We’re starting to get into that Slayer category. We’ve been around for so long that bands that are getting signed now Wisconsin Death Trip was the first record they ever bought when they were nine years old.” Really? These must be the shit-tards who post on Blabbermouth.

    Static says, “It’s very much one guitar riff and one drum beat songs”. The problem is that same one riff (chord) is played on every f**king song! Dude, playing the same open C or B or whatever isn’t really playing guitar.

    I really liked the first album. Good energy – driving simple nu metal. It’s when he got into the gothic crap and batman clothes after the first album that I tuned out.

    I saw nothing in that interview that said he thought his band sucked. You’re just being an asshole. The music doesn’t suck, it’s completely different then anything else, thats why he said it took some luck. Don’t talk shit about things you know nothing about.

    Its not about complexity, its about delivery. You can write a good song without technical prowess. He said it takes luck because there are so many bands out there that getting noticed is a little bit of chance. I love Dream Theater and Static X. They both have good songs. If you can explain how they have bad songs without the simple excuse of “its all power chords” or something else about the simplicity and without inserting your skewed opinion, then i will listen

    at least he has a band. and they are more recognized than u im afraid..they are awesome

  • jim

    Seen them in concert in 98 or 99 something like that… they were good then, and then I realized I am 18 and I am bored of all this music already. I grew up… everything changes. So cut your hair and cut your beard and buy non electric guitar and write some music…. Bye Oh yea Dope was there and Fear Factory and the lead singer of Dope held my hand! now Bye

    I agree with Tardi Noir up there. Everyone sucks and I hate your face.
