I think Wayne would be proud to see what Static x has done in last few years

[@sixdecibels]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@jamesadamgleason9471]

Hell yeah. This IS Static X. They are respecting the hell out of it!

[@mastercrumby8324]

This is the first time I'm listening to the band since he passed. I couldn't do it. Because I loved the music and his performance. This felt right in the chest like he is still alive on stage. ❤

[@vinnylashley7394]

Wayne came back as an undead biomechanical entity named Xero.

[@adamdecuir4195]

i couldnt be more happy with static x. xer0 is the best voice for the band. its almost like listening to static back in the day. i cant dwell on the loss of wayne. i feel like he would approve of 2.0. i feel excited to listen to the new and the old static x. wish theyd come to beaumont or houston.

[@michakomorowski948]

The "Xero situation" is one of the best tributes I have seen in music ever. I think Wayne would love how it turned out.

[@thekillerbunny]

Lol he's rolling in his grave. The band did not get along before his death. Basically Wayne got sucked into Tera and scripts at the end of 2000s, got himself killed, and now the band can keep the static-x brand alive for monetary purposes, and I guess some history... but I think they're just cashing in on the brand. Can't blame em, but let's not pretend this is a happy story. It's business.

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

@@thekillerbunnyWell if the majority of members are ok with continuing it's not really important what anyone else thinks about it. I think if the members honour Wayne then I don't see why they should be made to stop performing in this band.

[@trojan3896]

Usually when a member of a band dies (specially the frontman) the replacement just doesn't give the same feel and it fails a lot of the times, Static-X is a rare example of it being done really extremely on point and professionally

[@KruggKruscherp]

They have the added benefit of having a lot of old unused vocal tracks Wayne had stashed away

[@WandererNamedGuy]

@@KruggKruscherpyeah I agree this is a once in a long time thing. And then now knowing there’s all these lyrics that are being used to continue the legacy I think is even more of a once in a blue moon thing.

[@DiegoFernandez-lw4rt]

Another example Is Alice in chains

[@Jasonv078]

​​​@@DiegoFernandez-lw4rtYep. I mean, Fear Factory is doing the same with the new kid Milo, he not only sings similar to Burton, but he dresses, moves, stances, utters the same catchphrases as Burt, and even does his hair like Burt, i mean, he even dyed his hair blonde and the same half bald half hair haircut that Burt used. Its like: Dude, nice cosplay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@CheapSushi]

Yeah, it's done really well. But it just feels a bit weird considering the history between Wayne and the rest of the band. Would be different if they didn't have a falling out, bad history, legal issues between them, etc. But that's not how it happened. Wayne even wrote Machine album by himself and it just got worse between them. So for them to come up now to take it over and run with it with a pretty much copy of Wayne is kinda...i don't know... mixed feelings. Especially cuz this song and video is damn awesome.

I hate it just as much as I hated “new” Alice in chains. It misses the point of Wayne’s vision and I can tell by the song name. Wayne’s songs were simple accessible and to the point. That was the genius of them. What the hell is an otsego placebo? Everyone knows what push it means

My ex roommate, Scotty was the biggest metalhead I ever met in my life. He loved this band so much. And like me, and the rest of us, he missed Wayne so much.

[@jamesgliemann6186]

No one could do it better. his xero creation is such a perfect way to honor Wayne and keep his image as the front of the band.

[@LarryXLR]

Saw them last night. Edsel Dope does an amazing job singing Wayne's songs. The band does great work of letting it be known that they continued Static-X in Wayne Static's honor. Even the concept of replacing Wayne with a "robot AI character" that is trying to copy his movements seems like something Wayne would have loved. We all know Wayne was a sucker for sci-fi movies.

[@WandererNamedGuy]

Umbasa. I have a hard time listening to static-x and the prodigy nowadays, made my peace jus hard hearing your… not role models but… hard to explain. They were jus there. Whenever I needed them. Growing up wasn’t fun so had music, video games etc at least. I’m jus glad queen of the Stone Age signer got better cuz I don’t think I can handle having most my comfort music lead singers of been departed.

[@Jasonv078]

​​​@@WandererNamedGuyAgree. I'm all about consistency, and the thing with Static-X is that Wayne was the constant, the one who never left, the rest of the founding members were in and out several times and after Wayne's passing, they decided to reunite again on a permanent basis, so it feels like they were saying: Hey.. Wayne is gone... Lets get together again. Kinda messy if you ask me. At least in the case of The Prodigy theres still consistency, since Liam and Maxim are still there since day 1 and never left, so it doesnt feel out of place for them to continue after Keith's passing, which is the opposite case of Static-X. They have the right to continue legally speaking since Tony has full ownership of the brand, but in terms of legitimacy, it feels messy. Same with the whole Burt and Fear Factory situation.

[@CheapSushi]

Although I do enjoy it and it is cool in a way, it mostly feels like a money grab and money making endeavour rather than a true to what Wayne wanted type of thing considering the history with 2nd album and Wayne going off his own way and wishing he would have sooner. It's even weirder cuz the vocals & looks are a version of him, rather than just taking on a new persona/vocalist. But it's kinda respectful since it's Edsel from Dope. IDK, mixed feelings. Plus this song and video is damn awesome. @@Jasonv078

[@NothingNowhere-vu5oq]

I doubt that Wayne would be totally cool with this. I think that he would feel exploited. Unless his family is benefiting from it, that is. Why don't these guys do their own thing?

[@WandererNamedGuy]

@@NothingNowhere-vu5oq kinda was my thought at first. Kinda still? Like I’m sure there has been sit downs figuring out the logistics of this. Cuz it’s almost been a decade now, I think it’s ok.

[@carbonwolf6995]

Hopefully vol 2 is more like this than the cartoon zombie song.

[@ehill1536]

[@rayziegler682]

I was kind of skeptical when they said they were gonna carry on the Static X deal but when I heard Edsel the first time doing stuff I was absolutely blown away and he is doing Wayne super proud for sure... First time I ever saw Static X and Dope was with Seven dust way back when and now they are touring together again and I am over the moon

[@kernelpickle]

Yeah, I think his vocals fit really well. I also really dug the look of the mask and his whole getup, and until I scrolled down to the comments I hadn't even heard that Wayne passed away. Apparently, I completely missed that news and hadn't looked into the band in long enough, but I kinda dig the theatrics and the attempt to resurrect Wayne as a cyberpunk zombie. There are so few bands who could ever get away with something like that, because outside of Slipknot or Kiss--I can't actually think of another band where a different guy in a mask/costume replaced a former member. I saw Dope way back in the day when they opened for Kid Rock, because they were getting some radio play of their Dead or Alive cover. I recall them putting on a good show and enjoying myself at the time, but I never really got into them, because I personally felt they were making a mistake with the over application of distortion (along with flange/chorus effects) on the lead vocals. There were parts of the songs where it absolutely fit, but other times where it was a little to much and it just hurt the intelligibility of what they were saying lyrically. I don't know if they've eased up on that in subsequent years or deviated a bunch from that first album (might go check them out now) but I think that particular style of vocal production works extremely well in this context. It's aesthetically the right vibe for a synthetic looking robot guy to be more distorted.

[@ZilogandMoto]
