It's strange seeing Wayne, casually talk about his sweet guitar, knowing he's long gone but never forgotten. Thanks for sharing your music, brother, been a fan since Highschool, and I doubt that will ever change.
I got to live a middle school dream by seeing static x with Edsel Dope wearing a mask molded after Wayne's face. And mudvayne. Man did Statix X deliver 🤩
I met him at NAMM the year he died, and he was a trippy dude. I told him my name, and he's like "like captain morgan? Dude, you should have captain with me, later". I wish more people were as free spirited as him
@Angel Messtanoffski taking hard drugs does not mean that he *wanted* to kill himself. People take drugs for a multitude of reasons but saying he "killed himself" implies intent. It was an *accidental* overdose. Most people wouldn't say he killed himself within the context of what happened as this implies suicide as the cause in some way.
I listened to S-x so much during my teens and I found about his death from a friend while hanging out at his house meetup to go to a rave but it ended up being canceled so we all stayed there and parties. So being all hopped up with Molly and alcohol, etc made the sadness so intense. Damn drug.. makes you open yourself up so much.. it took me a while to shake it off..
@@serenitysgaming24 Must have been a sad moment, he did not deserve to die like that, and so early. Im happy that Static X is still touring, but with a kind of "robocop" Wayne, and how they said that Wayne was not replaced, but lived through the soul and music of the band today. Sorry for my english
@@burntt999 I feel you, it is horrible to find out that one of your favorite artists have faded. I got pretty sad when i researched the band and found out that he was gone, after watching alot of videos of interviews with him, such a humble and nice guy who were happy to answer questions. And i hope you dont do those drugs anymore my brother, it is not worth it. Keep to the beers, but no tablets please brother. I hope you are okay today!
Such a cool and down to earth dude. Fuckin sucks he's dead. I've been really depressed since hearing of his death. A damn shame he will never make anymore music. A huge hit for industrial metal. You will be missed Wayne.
Ohh ye of little faith... Wayne's brothers have responded by creating a WCDT 20th anniversary tribute tour to Wayne. Then they went on to create a new album containing some of his last works called project regeneration vol1 Look for vol 2 this year possibly I think that's what they said.
I was 6 years old when I first heard Wisconsin death trip in 1999. My parents went to ozzfest that year for the first time ever and I believe static x was on the second stage at that time. They came home from the concert and my dad played Wisconsin death trip album on the stereo the very next day. My parents were cool, now here I am at 27 almost 28 and I’m going back to rediscover my past of metal and music. Thankyou Wayne you will never be forgotten
I met Wayne in a club, on the first Static X tour. My friend and I spoke with him, for at least a 1/2 hour. The guy in this video, is so different, from who I met. Its really sad to see him like that. He sounded and looked, so slow and burned out. The Wayne Static that I met, was completely on his game. He was smiling, quick thinking, and full of life. He was excited about everything and really straight forward asked our opinion, of what we thought about his band. He listened to us. He hung on every word that we said to him. Like he was fine tuning a machine. He cared what we as fans thought and that what we told him would actually have weight, in what he did next. It was really cool to talk to a down to earth musician, like him. He was a rare type of person. If I could go back, i would have talked to him a lot longer. I could have, but I let other people speak to him, so that I didnt come off as being rude to them. After seeing this, I really think the people around him, let him down, by not stepping in and helping him. He deserved better than what happened to him. RIP Wayne.
I sometimes wonder if his wife was a good influence or not. Because she seemed like a party type of girl. And if they both liked partying. That was a match made for disaster
We are happy that Wayne likes the Modifier. It was his choice to play it. If you like the guitar play it. It's doubtful that anyone will think less of you because Wayne Static plays one.
maybe if you guys bothered using decent pickups, instead of the same piece of trash EMG's that emg has been putting out since they became a company, or if your own pickups were any good. but thats not the case.
@@FingerinUrDaughter C`mon Man,you don`t like `em,Don`t use `em;Lots of us Like `em;I`ve got 5 EMG Powered guitars,and some passive pickuped guitars too but,I would`nt tell you Duncans were,...or Dimarzios,well you get the Idea,(the tiny guitar in the picture ? EMG 81/sa/sa/)
I don't get why anyone would wanna hate on Wayne just because he doesn't play masturbatory solos or widdly-diddly licks. That's just silly. As musicians, we all have our strengths and weaknesses and our own flavours. Also, try the guitar anyway, I'm sure it's as solid as the Deans I've been using since I found they suited my play style and sound. Who cares who else plays it as long as you do?
Is this another round of "youtube's recommendation almost 8 years after the video was uploaded"? Either way, I can always appreciate a video about Wayne Static.
My last job was a labor job with vary long shifts and an insane amount of paperwork at the end of the night, but I had a bluetooth headset because I was on call almost 24/7 as a supervisor and I could play my music. Static-X helped keep me sane working from 3pm to 7am for over a year. I'm a dad now, and I fully intend on introducing my son to Static-X and Wayne Static's awesomeness. Side fact: I grew up in WI and the first time I heard/seen Static-X was on local TV before they hit it big,
He was definitely under the influence the last few interviews and performances. He's an icon and another cautionary tale of sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
Wayne was such an awesome guy. I still listen to his music every day for the last 20ish years, since I discovered them when Wisconsin death trip was released. He will be missed!
Saw him at family values tour back in 01', and I know exactly what you mean. It was a privilege and an honor, and I'm lucky enough to have the video of the concert on RUclips.
Wayne was TRULY one of a kind. I still have fond memories of being a kid, my grandma telling me she'll pay for me to get my dad a gift for xmas, and I believe I had her buy the Shadow Zone album. She had no clue who they were, and would've probably passed sooner, had she ever listened to Static-X, lol. I'm so happy to hear their new front man sounds so similar to Wayne. Losing the X sound would've been the end of my enjoyment of the band.. But I think Wayne would be proud.
I really appreciate the way that when Wayne talked a out guitar stuff he'd explain it simple terms for the people who didn't play themselves, was a nice touch that
I remember seeing their 1st tour in the 90's, I loved this band because they sounded exactly like they did on the CD (Yeah we used CD's back then) . Rest in paradise Wayne!
I got to see wayne at his last concert in my town,I'm glad I went.been with static x since I was 9 years old,such a humble guy for sure...RIP he was to young
We all miss you Wayne. I got to see you live, and you had the whole crowd laughing and having a good time. Just wishing you were around to kick ass again.
yeah it's Tragic how it's happening A LOT in the metal rock world lately (Chester Bennington 2017) (Chris Cornell 2017) (Scott Weiland 2015) (Wayne Static 2014) (Dave Williams 2003) (Dimebag 2005)
Wayne was such a cool dude remember seeing them at the hippodrome theater/club downtown Springfield Ma they played with staind and lopro back in early 2000s
RIP Wayne. Dude was a riffer and made songs you can jam out to on the road. But his drugs and drinking got in the way of his life. He made claims that he had gone clean except for the occasional drinking. But that pinky nail is a sure sign to anyone who has dealt with that environment knows what I'm talking about. Wayne, I hope you and Tera are in a better place
Rest In peace man. Been a fan since I first got into metal with Death trip.changed my life. You proved that it didnt have to be about great guitar chops. But great heart and determination. RiP wayne
Wayne seems like such a nice dude. Wish I would have had a chance to see Static X live. Sadly, I never really checked out their music until Wanye had already passed away😔
RIP Wayne, thank you for all the amazing music. I'm sorry you lost the battle with drugs, and I hope you have finally found your peace and can rest. You may not have believed in God but I do, and I hope you are in heaven jamming with the greats. You'll be forever missed....
I am so pissed at Dean guitars for not making this. They let the project die when Wayne passed. I mean, they still sell loads of Dime guitars, which is awesome, but this needs to be made. I love how Tony, Ken, and Koichi are honoring Wayne with project regeneration. But why isn't Dean guitars doing the same??? People will buy this. I will buy this. Make it. Please.
It's strange seeing Wayne, casually talk about his sweet guitar, knowing he's long gone but never forgotten. Thanks for sharing your music, brother, been a fan since Highschool, and I doubt that will ever change.
Nope, still love.
Long blast horror disco 🤘🏻

Been a fan since elementary school!!!
@@frilledlizardowner20fr this new static x is cool
He looks like a tekken character
Ryan Fischer lol Paul Phoenix
Paul Phoenix ofcourse :D ... i ve always seen the amazing similiarity in them
Like a low budget goku with a homosexual twist

A cool tekken character

@@sharktooth2888 namm. It's a guitar/music trade convention.
@Angel Messtanoffski accidental drug overdose does not equal killing yourself, just say in bruv
@Angel Messtanoffski taking hard drugs does not mean that he *wanted* to kill himself. People take drugs for a multitude of reasons but saying he "killed himself" implies intent. It was an *accidental* overdose. Most people wouldn't say he killed himself within the context of what happened as this implies suicide as the cause in some way.
Committing suicide shows intent. Killing yourself is simply you dying because of your own actions.
He seemed like a wholehearted guy, and very humble. Im kind of sad that i found this band just 2 months ago. I love their music! R.I.P Wayne!
i found out about Static-X when i went to my first concert last year

Look for vol 2 this year possibly I think that's what they said.
I would say it's either alternative metal or nu metal
Fellow Static X enjoyer with a Guts pfp? I see you're a man of culture as well
Saw them at family values tour back in 2001. They were always my favorite growing up.
R.I.P Wayne Static
I would like to see him play an 8 string guitar
wayne static in f# would be some super heavy shit \m/
That would have been so bad ass! Crunchy chrunchy 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
Wayne would have some amazingly melodic sounding tones!
I wanna see him play a 20 string guitar
Me to... :(

Your parents were cool bro, be thankful.🤘🏽
The best metal show I've ever seen was Static X, Morbid Angel, Pantera, and Slayer!! It was back in 2000
Extreme Steel tour. I saw then in Vegas.
Didn't he slam the microphone down because of technical errors?
That sounds amazing. I love all those bands and I would kill to see them all share a stage.
Douglas Plaisance great tour
Was at the Hamilton, Ontario show and it was one of the best tours I've seen. Every band on the bill was top notch

@@nandoginkaku7610 she was a horrible influence on him. Tera is ultimately the reason Wayne is dead.
@@revivedfears God damn that's harsh
He seems fine here, don't be ridiculous.
Robbie T That's very true he made the choices
5 years since he left us. We miss you Wayne!
He sounds like a nice guy
Knew a woman who used to hang with him when he came to town. Said he was real down to earth. Almost like a regular Joe, but famous.
*sounded
It so sad we lost this genius cool dude 😎😎😎
My friend met him 3 times, they remembered his name every time and offered him beer.
Most metal guys are super nice and chill people.

Definitely. Well said mate 👍
its not because he dosent do fancy stuff, its because ALL he did was chug en open E all day long.
Sometimes simple stuff sounds the best ,hell even Mick from Slipknot says the same thing.
Their music was straight to the point, like you just pressed play and a fist suddenly hits you in the face outta nowhere.
It's an A# ya dingus. For your health!
Is this another round of "youtube's recommendation almost 8 years after the video was uploaded"?

not so much by me

Miss him so much there was something so magical about 2000s rock that will always remain in that era shame he passed away so soon
Same.
He was definitely under the influence the last few interviews and performances.
He's an icon and another cautionary tale of sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
Yes so true
I miss this guy, one of my favorites all time. I love that Static-X is going strong 🤘🤘
He does sound like he was a cool dude. I also think that metal needs more guys like him and bands like that.
Rev Wolf don’t worry.
Wayne was such an awesome guy.
I still listen to his music every day for the last 20ish years, since I discovered them when Wisconsin death trip was released.
He will be missed!
Same. I was privileged enough to see them in concert back in the day.
Wayne Static was a badass! Loved his passion, spirit and love for his instrument and music!
Static-X will live forever even though Wayne has passed, RIP Wayne.
So many legends have died.. I'm great full I got to see alot of them grow and get where they were.. RIP X
Seen Static-X so many times I can count them all...it was always a blast in the pit! Had so many great times at their shows. RIP Wayne...
lucky you!!!

RIP Wayne, thank you for all the amazing music. I'm sorry you lost the battle with drugs, and I hope you have finally found your peace and can rest. You may not have believed in God but I do, and I hope you are in heaven jamming with the greats. You'll be forever missed....
he didn't die because of drugs, sober since 2009 as far as i know, R.I.P.!
***** he passed of an OVERDOSE of prescription DRUGS mixed with alcohol poisoning!
+mikieb77 He wasn't abusing drugs like he used to.
He died because of old age that's rock n roll there are no ods in rock n roll
@Jackie O Sullivan
Keith Richards, Steven Tyler, Ozzy Osborne??? No old rockers huh.
Rest In Peace Idol Wayne Static.. Rock Heaven Dude! 👊 💀 🤘
I miss him
RIP Wayne ... You are my childhood idol
I really miss Static-X
Miss you dude
Very sad loss in the music industry... He's very much missed!!! We need him back!!!
I am so pissed at Dean guitars for not making this. They let the project die when Wayne passed. I mean, they still sell loads of Dime guitars, which is awesome, but this needs to be made. I love how Tony, Ken, and Koichi are honoring Wayne with project regeneration. But why isn't Dean guitars doing the same??? People will buy this. I will buy this. Make it. Please.
