With the recent, and tragic, death of Wayne Static, I went back to the archives to pull this interview with him out for Throwback Thursday. Little did I know that this would be my last interview with the man who fronted Static-X for so many years.
Like many figures in the rock and metal world, Jacoby Shaddix was quick to react to the shocking news that Wayne Statichad passed away over the weekend.
The rock world is still reeling from the passing of Static X singer Wayne Static. His wife, Tera Wray, released a statement on the departed musician's Facebook page Monday night to thank people for their support.
I have often wondered why the industrial metal sound of Static-X and their contemporaries didn't take over the world. To me it just seemed to be the logical place for metal to go. I loved Static-X, The Union Underground, and even lighter fare like Stabbing Westward. Now the man who truly put his heart and soul into this type of sound is gone leaving us with some stories and a lot of great music.
