Micah Electric, drummer of Hollywood-based industrial rockers 9ELECTRIC, has posted the following message on Facebook:

"My friend Wayne Static has passed away.

"So glad to have known him, recorded with him, toured with him, partied with him and had MANY real conversations with him. He was a good soul who chose the wrong path.

"He will be missed."

STATIC-X released six studio albums between 1999 and 2009 before disbanding. Static then launched a solo career and released his debut solo album, "Pighammer", in 2011.

Wayne was scheduled to take his solo band back on the road for a co-headlining tour with POWERMAN 5000 starting on November 6 in Waterloo, Iowa.

Wayne married former porn star Tera Wray in January 2008.

These late 80s to 90s rockers need to learn how not to die when guys like Ozzy, Cru

was he in Wisconsin...

 

[Guestx]

Damn, RIP.

Shadow Zone was a very important album to me when I was in my early 20s. As I recently mentioned in another thread, when I was younger I was a delivery driver for Domino's and during that time I got exposed to a lot of new bands since I was in my car all the time. I listened to Shadow Zone (which had just come out) a LOT during that period of my life.

I may actually still have that CD lying around here somewhere. I think it may even be one of those late 90s/early 00s Enhanced CDs that has a documentary on it about the making of the album.

was he in Wisconsin...

"Get up off this Wisconsin death trip", no need to be "a loserrrr". "Yeah you push it"

[Thrawn33]

To be fair alot of the hard partying guys from that era died young as well. Not sure how Ozzy is still alive though.

Which is why today's rockers should take lessons from the dudes I mentioned.

 

[Street Level]

RIP. Always thought his music was bad but he was talented nonetheless.

 

[TheFirstEMP]

Wayne was my hero growing up. Loved Wisconsin Death Trip and still even have the VHS of the first tours. WTF man.
