Brian Charles Ebejer (born March 21, 1974), known professionally as Edsel Dope, is an American rock singer, songwriter and musician. He is best known as the lead singer and main songwriter for nu metal/industrial metal band Dope. Dope was founded in 1997 by Edsel and his brother, Simon Dope (keyboards), in New York City. Edsel co-produced all of Dope's albums. On Felons and Revolutionaries, Dope's first album (released in 1999), Edsel played and programmed most of the musical instruments. In 2019 he became the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for Static-X under the moniker Xer0. He performs wearing a mask resembling former vocalist Wayne Static.
Isn't calling Edsel "Xero" getting kinda cringe at this point? I get if it's at a concert or whatever but when just referring to him here out of respect, it seems like we could use his name.
@@dogg92 Man even have him look like W digital is fucked up..There is only one Wayne..And he is gone. I don't care much for this new "lead singer" stuff.. However that is prob simply bc I liked the original so much and just I don't know man...
@@billdancejrjr1070 It's ok but nowhere near as good as old Static X. It's just good shit to bop your head to or workout with. I don't really consider them to be the same band without Wayne. I'm not sure how anyone could tbh. It was the same way with AiC when Layne Staley died. Still a good band, but not the same band and nowhere near the same level. I like how they are honoring Wayne though instead of trying to replace him. I don't think the digital image of him was meant to be anything other than respectful, kind of like him singing from the afterlife.
Like most, I was extremely hesitant about the idea of anyone attempting to fill Wayne's shoes. But holy shit. This is beautiful. This isn't replacing him. This is his legacy carried forward honorably. Rest in peace, Wayne, and know we love and miss you and that your vision survives.
@@Mad_Maniac one of the first ones they did was a record that Wayne even said he didn't like before. My gf is a super fan and she's been digging up rather questionable things.
@@KIDhazama Deceased musicians get their music released pretty often. It is not uncommon. It is up to the rest of the band to move on and live up to the expectations of the fans and I believe they have done that with this release.
@@Mad_Maniac friend?!?! LMAOOO do you understand the relationship of Wayne and the rest of the band when he died? “Yeah. Ya know, we’re starting slow, and I don’t have the Static-X name anymore. I made a deal with Tonys the only legal Static-X member besides me. I paid him a bunch of money last year to use the name, and he’s just a greedy motherfucker, man. He just hates me to death. He’s trying to gouge the shit out of me. I made him an offer to give him 25 percent of my net profits and he refused it. He wants this outrageous number. [Laughs] He wants more money than I make in a year, and he’s just doing it on purpose because he hates me for whatever reason. But he doesn’t want to play in Static-X, though. I gave him the opportunity, like, “Do you want to tour with us?” He’s like, “No.” Okay, well, “Will you let me use the name?” “No.” [Laughs] He’s basically just telling me, like, “Fuck you.” Ya know? [Laughs] I’m like well, at least my name is Wayne Static and people know who I am. I’m not just some jack-off bass player that used to play in a band called Static-X. I’m like, “Fuck you,” ya know? I’m still playing in a band called Wayne Static. It’s a little bit smaller because not everyone knows the name Wayne Static, and everyone knows the name Static-X, but we’re gonna build it up. I basically made the choice that Static-X is done, unless Tony changes his mind at some point, which I doubt he will. We’re just going to build on Static-X. The funny thing is that it’s still the same guys that played with Static-X last year, the same songs basically…we just can’t call it Static-X.”
@@SawdustJunky so they can profit off of him when he’s dead, but he couldn’t profit off the static-X name when he was alive and there feud was going on? Got it. Yeah.

I literally cannot discern between Wayne and Xer0. Seriously. When they produced this, all I could hear was Wisconsin Death Trip vibes and thought all of these songs were B-Sides that Wayne already pre-recorded but hadn’t produced. Makes me tear up.. Wayne would absolutely be proud. Couldn’t have picked a better person to fill-in.
It’s beautiful and genius to put a guy who kinda sounds like Wayne in a cool mask. It lets the band live on with different singers but still be static x. Sorta like “Frankenstein” from death race.
On Monday it had been 7 years since Wayne was resting in peace, and today is his birthday, congratulations Wayne, thank you so much for your music, you are in a better place, greetings from a big fan of Brazil 🙏🙏🇧🇷
Ahh yes good point! That will be why my boyfriend is sad. He shares the same Birth date as Wayne 🌠 We're both huge fans too!!! My heart hurts, for all of the amazing artists lost in the past couple of decades. But especially Wayne Static 😢
As others have commented, Edsel isn't trying to replace Wayne, but rather continue the legacy of Static X. Saw them live recently and it was epic AF. He's doing a hell of a job at that! Thank you guys for continuing to make awesome music!
Terminator Oscillator is my favorite song of Project Regeneration. It stands on first place. I liked its tensioning, adrenaline. And I hoped for official video of song. And I got it! Still have a goosebumps listening it
Well done 👏 👏 Wayne would be proud... These guys are a class act... in preserving the true raw sound that's known as Wayne Static. My 15yr old will see them with FF, as this will be his very first concert ever. Absolutely loves this band.... It's gonna be a great night....
My first ever concert was headlined by Fear Factory (the very same March 1999 show that's in worcester MA on youtube). Static X was an opening act, I was 16. You're completing the loop brother
Wayne was a rock God... Everything you guys did as a group was why I am today.. Please Tony.. keep it alive.. can't wait for New tour... But please.... Keep Evil Disco Alive.. #loveWayne
I saw Static-X once in concert and it set the bar for all other concerts I've ever been to. So, tonight in my drunken state, I will seek out all Static-X videos and post this comment. Wayne Static, you brought joy to my life. I'm sorry you went the way you did. I'm here and I still love you. Jazz
I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first, but this has been handled with class and feels like honoring Wayne's spirit. If nothing of his was there, this would feel weird. You can tell how much they loved him so it doesn't come of as a rip off, it seems more like a tribute to the heart of the band's soul. Very well done, it sounds like Static X!
For me this album was something more. It was...something that we needed. Nobody liked how Static-X ended. They didn't get to go out on a Great album or a Farewell tour. The band just ended...cuz Wayne died. Things were left unsettled and I think even we as fans knew. So fast forward to this albums release and the reunion tour. People are loving it because...We got to say Goodbye, and Wayne got to go out on something Good.
I can hear and feel Wayne's presence . You couldn't of done any better honoring and keeping Wayne Static's legacy alive. From a long time fan from 99 I thank you and appreciate it more than you will ever know.
And get this, all the vocals? All Xer0, even the screaming in the chorus. It proves what an accomplished musician the guy truly is, and it allows the legacy of Evil Disco to continue on. The torch has been passed and its in very capable hands.
@@DesertRainReads Pretty sure the line "terminator oscillator" is wayne. Also pretty sure that "i am the senseless the vicious the wicked" is Tony Campos.
it helps that its actually Wayne on this album and not Edsel. Its all old recordings that never got finished when they were together and before his death
@@rottenpancakes nope, the chorus is all Xer0, I believe Wayne did have a hand in writing the lyrics though. You are correct that Tony is saying "I am the senseless, the vicious, the wicked" though, as evidenced by the concert footage I saw of these guys performing this song live. They sound incredible BTW.
Life long Static-X fan here and I’ve had the honor of meeting Wayne several times at the House of Blues in Orlando and I was devastated when he passed because Static fueled my teenage angst years and is a part of me! Very cool to see Edsel step in and give not only the band new life, but pay homage to Wayne and keep his style and sound alive! Wayne was and always will be STATIC X!
Love how you’ve kept the spirit of Wayne possessing the machine as the lead singer and always will be of Static-X! Chills and best concert ever I’ve just seen - Rise of the Machine 2023
Wow, can't believe how much Edsel sounds like Wayne. Love that Static X is preserving its legendary sound. What a great way to honor Wayne, keep it up guys I'll forever be a fan.
@@joshdekalb4564 mine to, I'm kinda bummed we probably won't get any new dope songs but it's cool seeing what he can do when he's not having to carry the whole band.
Love Edsel and static X but fuck really wish he didn’t just completely forget about dope been waiting for blood money vol 2 for coming up on 6 years next year
I just realized that Edsel is going to put it into overdrive and overtime touring with...Static-X, Fear Factory, Dope, and Twizitid so that means Edsel is going to not only do his set for Dope but then another round for Static-X. Much props and mad respect but I wonder how much that can take out of a person singing that long a night for 2 sets for the whole tour. Hope he eats his Corn Flakes and Wheaties everyday. Wish all of them the best and hope they stay healthy.
This whole album so far sounds like if the Machine & Shadow Zone albums fused into one... it's sooo good... it hurts us all that this is the end of an era.
Having been a Static X fan longer than Dope I have so much respect for Edsel keeping on the legacy of the band for Wayne as well as his own. Without replacing him outright.
1999, 9th grade math my friend told me about them and said about g2 their show in State College, PA.. I never listened to X, he said it was heavy so I was in.. we then asked our beautifully hot math teacher to go with us; she was into them and woulda gone, but ya know, laws n shit.. Me n him left school at lunch and burn cruised and jammed Wisconsin Death Trip Album at least 6 times.. I was hooked and ecstatic for the X show- holy fuck.. 25 years later and it’s like it was recently, fuckin fav band besides mushroom head, idk why I never went and saw em live again.. Fuckin eyes leaked when me and x wife learnt Wayne had passed.. Thank you Ken, Koichi, Tony, 0/Edsel for these regeneration albums, like fuck- y’all are like superheroes imo.. EVIL DISCO NEVER DIES X
This shit fucking sucks, and they’re profiting off a dead mans work. The same dead man that they refused to allow use his own band name when the feud was going on. “Yeah. Ya know, we’re starting slow, and I don’t have the Static-X name anymore. I made a deal with Tonys the only legal Static-X member besides me. I paid him a bunch of money last year to use the name, and he’s just a greedy motherfucker, man. He just hates me to death. He’s trying to gouge the shit out of me.

Bumped into Wayne at a show in the 90's in San Francisco. Playing with Stabbing Westward, Fear Factory, and Skinlab. I was thinking "who's this dude with the crazy tall hair?". Then I saw him on stage lol
I saw them in 2002.and was one of the most brutal concerts I have ever been. It really was something, well still is, thanks to this project. RIP Wayne, you're one of the greats, at least for me.
I've been to hundreds of concerts and out of all the bands I've seen i only consider 2 must see bands. After seeing you guys at 20 Monroe, i now have 3. Holy fucking shit!! That was one hell of a show!!!
It's all so poetic - "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him." Now I can find lyrics in old songs that connect so well to the whole story of Wayne's death and rebirth as a machine. It's like it was his plan all along.
I have never liked edm type music. when I was a kid Static-X came to my attention and convinced me to give the genre a chance. Static-X with xero has unlocked the same effect as when I was a kid. Can't wait to see them live
Reminiscent of the band. If I closed my eyes, I might believe it was an original song. Nothing & no1 can replace Wayne, but we can appreciate that they honored his memory.
It actually pretty much is, Xer0 wrote a majority of the lyrics apparently. Gotta give him credit, he nailed Wayne's lyrical style, attitude and voice down to a science.
I agree with you completely Wayne was a very cool dude luckly got to see him before he passed away but I got to drink a beer with him though he is really nice guy... He will be missed
Fun fact, Otsego is actually a town outside of where Wayne grew up, in Michigan. Why it is a thing with this band, who knows. Maybe Wayne lost his virginity there.
Saw them on the first Freaks on Parade when Mudvayne reunited and let me tell you as hesitant as i was, Static X couldve been the coheadliner. They were FANTASTIC live and even had the entire arena going! Definitely looking forward to more💀🖤🖤🖤
This is so fucking beyond perfect. Right down to the sample in the intro. Fuckin dude... edsel dope.. to pull up and carry on his buddies legacy. Nameless, faceless... sound exactly like him. It's soooooooo fuckin sick.
It's great that I can listen to the new stuff and go "yep. That's Static-X"
real & true
I love the expressions on everyone’s faces, it’s like a fun horror movie. Koichi went out the best with a selfie and a smile, lol
StaticX did it right.
They didn't replace Wayne, they turned him into an immortal character.
He sounds just like Wayne truly amazing.
Well fuckin said
I agree. I just hate it that an artist has to die before anyone really appreciates what they create.
@@hughcaires7434 this was a platinum selling band from the get go in 1999, hmmm....

What’s even better is that videos, music, etc credit vocals et al to Xer0, and they “produced by Edsel Dope”. Fucking epic how they played this.
I’m so glad Xero took the reins. This is how you honor a fallen brother by keep the music alive and making Wayne proud

Very cool to see Edsel step in and give not only the band new life, but pay homage to Wayne and keep his style and sound alive! Wayne was and always will be STATIC X!
Love how you’ve kept the spirit of Wayne possessing the machine as the lead singer and always will be of Static-X! Chills and best concert ever I’ve just seen - Rise of the Machine 2023
I'm going tmw can't wait
Yea they killed it in Orlando a few days ago! Best set I’ve ever seen, this direction with XerO is awesome, bringing back the WDT vibes.
Wow, can't believe how much Edsel sounds like Wayne. Love that Static X is preserving its legendary sound. What a great way to honor Wayne, keep it up guys I'll forever be a fan.
E.Dope doing an awesome job.
Such a beautiful transition. Loved Static-X since high school, still love them today. Thank you guys!
Been a fan most my life and I'm 34 now, thank you guys for your amazing music, no one else could do it like y'all do, very unique Metal sounds great
Edsel man, you're fucking amazing for doing all this for Static-X. Fucking love you man..
Edsel was my idol growing up....
@@joshdekalb4564 mine to, I'm kinda bummed we probably won't get any new dope songs but it's cool seeing what he can do when he's not having to carry the whole band.
Love Edsel and static X but fuck really wish he didn’t just completely forget about dope been waiting for blood money vol 2 for coming up on 6 years next year
I just realized that Edsel is going to put it into overdrive and overtime touring with...Static-X, Fear Factory, Dope, and Twizitid so that means Edsel is going to not only do his set for Dope but then another round for Static-X. Much props and mad respect but I wonder how much that can take out of a person singing that long a night for 2 sets for the whole tour. Hope he eats his Corn Flakes and Wheaties everyday. Wish all of them the best and hope they stay healthy.
I agree!
Best song on the album and can’t wait for more.
This whole album so far sounds like if the Machine & Shadow Zone albums fused into one... it's sooo good... it hurts us all that this is the end of an era.
Well hopefully there's a part 2
@@Tysandifer there is one, the band confirmed its coming soon.
Keeping a legend alive
Hardest song on the whole fucking album. Great choice for a single!
I’d say Otsego Placebo is the hardest song on the album. But this is a good second place.
@@joshuapyle6371 my thoughts exactly
@@joshuapyle6371 otsego placebo 100% but this comes close no doubt
Wayne, wayne, wayne!! A great frontman,, and a great great songwriter!!! A genious
Evil disco forever 🤘
I STILL HEAR WAYNE!
They got someone with a similar sound. They couldn't have made a better choice to fill Wayne's shoes
So fucking pumped for this 🤘"I am the senseless, the vicious, the wicked!!"🤘
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏👽
Did not disappoint! Wayne Static FOREVER!!🤘🤘
The album came out like last year
@@dannyclarke13 I know, I own it. My excitement is entirely for the Music Video and how Wayne is being Remembered/Honored.
I believe that was Xer0 belting that part out, Wayne's part was the chorus. The entire album is a masterpiece.
I love you. All static X family.
I missed out on seeing Wayne,
Back in 2010.
I regret that. Always.
But thank you Xero
I love all of you
Run
Run
Run
We miss you WAYNE ✖🔥🤘🖤
My heart...oh man. I almost cried listening to this.
Having been a Static X fan longer than Dope I have so much respect for Edsel keeping on the legacy of the band for Wayne as well as his own. Without replacing him outright.
1999, 9th grade math my friend told me about them and said about g2 their show in State College, PA.. I never listened to X, he said it was heavy so I was in.. we then asked our beautifully hot math teacher to go with us; she was into them and woulda gone, but ya know, laws n shit..
Me n him left school at lunch and burn cruised and jammed Wisconsin Death Trip Album at least 6 times.. I was hooked and ecstatic for the X show- holy fuck.. 25 years later and it’s like it was recently, fuckin fav band besides mushroom head, idk why I never went and saw em live again.. Fuckin eyes leaked when me and x wife learnt Wayne had passed..
Thank you Ken, Koichi, Tony, 0/Edsel for these regeneration albums, like fuck- y’all are like superheroes imo.. EVIL DISCO NEVER DIES X
Long live Static-X! Wayne is in our hearts.
Love/ miss u Wayne. Static forever!
Easily one of the best static-x songs ever written. Gets the adrenaline pumping beyond all imaginable realms.
Doesn't even come close to the old stuff
@@jcthe1-3 i agree
Hell yes, Joseph! Freaking badass and crazy music video. 🤘
This is a rip-off of dirt house
This shit fucking sucks, and they’re profiting off a dead mans work. The same dead man that they refused to allow use his own band name when the feud was going on.
“Yeah. Ya know, we’re starting slow, and I don’t have the Static-X name anymore. I made a deal with Tonys the only legal Static-X member besides me.
I paid him a bunch of money last year to use the name, and he’s just a greedy motherfucker, man. He just hates me to death. He’s trying to gouge the shit out of me. I made him an offer to give him 25 percent of my net profits and he refused it.
He wants this outrageous number. [Laughs] He wants more money than I make in a year, and he’s just doing it on purpose because he hates me for whatever reason.
But he doesn’t want to play in Static-X, though. I gave him the opportunity, like, “Do you want to tour with us?” He’s like, “No.” Okay, well, “Will you let me use the name?” “No.” [Laughs]
He’s basically just telling me, like, “Fuck you.” Ya know? [Laughs] I’m like well, at least my name is Wayne Static and people know who I am. I’m not just some jack-off bass player that used to play in a band called Static-X. I’m like, “Fuck you,” ya know?
I’m still playing in a band called Wayne Static. It’s a little bit smaller because not everyone knows the name Wayne Static, and everyone knows the name Static-X, but we’re gonna build it up.
I basically made the choice that Static-X is done, unless Tony changes his mind at some point, which I doubt he will. We’re just going to build on Static-X. The funny thing is that it’s still the same guys that played with Static-X last year, the same songs basically…we just can’t call it Static-X.”
Bro this band is so awesome
Run! Run! Run!
Thks...love this song, welcome to the world ...Again!!!!
Bumped into Wayne at a show in the 90's in San Francisco. Playing with Stabbing Westward, Fear Factory, and Skinlab. I was thinking "who's this dude with the crazy tall hair?". Then I saw him on stage lol
I keep hearing this story from a lot of people. I guess Static-X was something completely new in 1999 haha
I saw them in 2002.and was one of the most brutal concerts I have ever been. It really was something, well still is, thanks to this project.
RIP Wayne, you're one of the greats, at least for me.
What a great new/ continued sound
Absolutely the best album of 2020 and 2021. Love the song
I've been to hundreds of concerts and out of all the bands I've seen i only consider 2 must see bands. After seeing you guys at 20 Monroe, i now have 3.
Holy fucking shit!! That was one hell of a show!!!
lmao at Kenny runnin' 😂😂😂
I miss you your voice Wayne ☹️
It's all so poetic - "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him." Now I can find lyrics in old songs that connect so well to the whole story of Wayne's death and rebirth as a machine. It's like it was his plan all along.
Static-X & Wayne Static never die!
0:01 the intro sound is literally from emesis blue :)
It's almost like Wayne never left. And that's awesome!
I have never liked edm type music.
when I was a kid Static-X came to my attention and convinced me to give the genre a chance. Static-X with xero has unlocked the same effect as when I was a kid.
Can't wait to see them live
Seeing Wayne again. I don't think I've ever cried so much over a metal song.
Reminiscent of the band. If I closed my eyes, I might believe it was an original song. Nothing & no1 can replace Wayne, but we can appreciate that they honored his memory.
It actually pretty much is, Xer0 wrote a majority of the lyrics apparently. Gotta give him credit, he nailed Wayne's lyrical style, attitude and voice down to a science.
I agree with you completely Wayne was a very cool dude luckly got to see him before he passed away but I got to drink a beer with him though he is really nice guy... He will be missed
@@jdroman407 That's awesome! Seriously
Yes it is static x is a good band
Some people said Wayne was an a**hole but he was one of the nicest guys I've ever met and just really chill dude
Always been a fan seen them back in 2006 in Chicago. Rocked then and will always
Дело Уэйна живо! Спасибо.
There is Only one and only one is Static X: The Destroyer. Trully unique band. I am so glad i hear these guys.
This is AWESOME!! Thank you for staying with Wayne's sound!!!
Great job, Wayne lives!!
Rip Wayne your brothers are killin it!!!
He will never be replaced.
If you pause at 1.02 you see where the bus was headed haha. I think this is my favourite project regeneration video yet!
NEXT STOP OTSEGO
Fun fact, Otsego is actually a town outside of where Wayne grew up, in Michigan. Why it is a thing with this band, who knows. Maybe Wayne lost his virginity there.
@@soapy42 the story is that Wayne absolutely hated living in Otsego and felt like it was a dying place that was full of condescending people.
That Wayne looking front man is a total yes can’t help to feel nostalgic as well rip Wayne static for ever
The best band return
A person like Wayne never dies as long as people continue to honor his legacy and keep him in their memories like this
Yeah!! Static X and Dope.. what a amazing thing!
Wayne never dies while Static-X sounds On!! 🤘
Dope opened for Static-X back in 1999. Great show!
Love Static-X... thank you Wayne.... RIP Bro...
i dunno why but i'm obsessed with this song. hope i hear it live when i see them
Saw them on the first Freaks on Parade when Mudvayne reunited and let me tell you as hesitant as i was, Static X couldve been the coheadliner. They were FANTASTIC live and even had the entire arena going! Definitely looking forward to more💀🖤🖤🖤
This is weird, cool, uncanny, innovative, dark, a lesson about how to keep going. Long live Wayne! Long live the Static X.
This is so fucking beyond perfect. Right down to the sample in the intro. Fuckin dude... edsel dope.. to pull up and carry on his buddies legacy. Nameless, faceless... sound exactly like him. It's soooooooo fuckin sick.
Great music
Like the song "all these years" by them also
I'm so late discovering Static-X. I feel sad to know Wayne is no longer around. Now I'm enjoying all their hard work in music. More power Static-X
