I was working at Circle K down from a venue called the Mason Jar one night when I look up and see Wayne Static. This was before they were more well known. I shouted "TAKE THE HOLD!", and he looked at me with a big grin. He tried to convince me to lock up the store and come see the show (I wanted to so bad! Got called in that night before I learned they were playing there). A few hours later he came back and brought me a signed shirt and some other swag. Chatted with me for a while too. I was already a fan. His actions just made me love them more. About a year later I'm at Celebrity Theatre to see them and I hear, "Glad you could make this one" turned around and it was him! He remembered me. He even asked how life at circle k was going. He really made me feel special. Miss that legend.
That’s fucking awesome. It seems those of us with the most pain and afflictions are often the most empathic or empathetic…interesting. Anyway, sad Wayne couldn’t get a hold of the using stuff but, as a heroin addict with a few months clean now, I like to think I have this opportunity to live on to honor those who didn’t make it , and do my best to keep paying it all forward and bring some positivity in to this world that right now so desperately needs it!… Thanks for your sharing there!
@@mikeowens514 How exactly do you know it didn't happen? I used to live on Indian School near 15th Ave. in Phoenix, and the Mason Jar was on Indian School near a Circle K.
It's pretty cool the original members are still together honoring Wayne at every show. It has to be extremely difficult to replace the lead singer... especially the face of the band... ESPEECIALLY a character like Wayne Static. I'm sure he smiles down proudly.
It was probably really easy. Wayne and the band were estranged up to his death. After he died is when they finally decided to get back together and make money off his death.
Can we just take a min to admire how fucking good this video quality is?! First time watching a YT video that’s shot in HDR. Even in 1080p it looks stunning.
These guys were always mega live. I'm glad they found a vocalist and guitarist that could pull off Wayne's stuff. The guitar stuff is pretty straightforward in many respects but it's another thing to pull off the vocals as well as he does. I remember hearing them on their first record for the first time. Bought it when it came out not knowing a thing about them. Glad I made that choice. It was really refreshing at the time.
For sure. The new lead has some chops Wayne would be proud of. And their audio guys killed it with the mixing; every instrument and mic is dialed in. Finally the band knows how to play; they are surprisingly close to the studio track.
Everyone knows Edsel is Xero. That being said 1) he's doing a great job and 2) all of them are doing great on keeping Wayne's memory and music alive. I got the pleasure of seeing Static X before Wayne passed away and would love to see this version also.
Funny they all said they'd never play with him ever, but just like Elvis there is money to be made off the popular member you never wanted to play with again death
This is one of the rare bands that when a leading vocalist and front man passed, the guy who took over not only sounded FUCKING PERFECT but also was this respectful. I fell in love with static x in my teens and I was so sad when Wayne died. Then when I saw zero…god damn bro. I couldn’t of been more sad and happy at the same time. Insert that crying salute gif reaction.
I saw Static-X on the Extreme Steel tour with Pantera and Slayer in Cleveland on July 1st 2001 and I thought Xero did a far superior job playing Wayne's music on 3-29-23@Bogart's in Cincinnati. #StaticXero
@@jaybeezee4013 He’s great but I don’t think he sounds like Layne. That’s basically near impossible. I have heard a tribute band once and the lead singer was quite close. I forget their name.
It's Edsel Dope. From Dope. He does a perfect Wayne impression. Lol originally I thought it was fishy that Dope was on every Static X tour. Both bad ass bands and Edsel really does Wayne's legacy justice
I feel like I could cry seeing how yall are keeping Wayne's memory alive. Static-X has been one of my favorite bands for almost 20 years now and couldn't be happier you're still out there getting down!
@@neilmacdonald4913 absolutely. I hope they never stop touring and doing shows. That’s how we keep Wayne and other artists alive. They live on through the music.
They're reunited with his memory driving them to continue together. They're doing a great job with it, keeping Wayne's sound going. A cash grab would have only been a one-and-done greatest hits tour.
@@stryctn9yne13 The story that Edsel Dope tells is that he was on tour with Wayne prior to the overdose. The tour wasn't selling too great, so Edsel tried to convince Wayne to get back with the other members, thinking that Wayne's wife was creating a Yoko Ono situation. Wayne was receptive to the idea but Edsel soon realized his wife wasn't the problem, it was the drugs. So the plan was to put Wayne in rehab and then put the band back together, but then the overdose happened. If that story is true, this is probably less of a cash grab and more of an attempt to fix up past mistakes and move forward.
I actually appreciate that he had lyrics onstage with him. It feels even more respectful that he's putting ego aside and just making damn sure he gets it right.
@@kp8923 yes it is. And orchestras use sheet music. It's retarded for people who don't even play an instrument to expect those who do to be flawless at all times and do it 100% from memory with lights flashing in their eyes the whole time.
Still celebrating Wayne first and foremost is so humble thank you for keeping his legacy alive. I saw you with him more than 20 times from 99-04 always amazing.
My friend Adam was good friends with Wayne. He took his death really hard, went on a bender,a downward spiral, and overdosed. He was a great guitar played and whenever I hear Static X, I think of the last time we hung out at a Ministry show. Miss you brother. Your ashes drift in space now.
@@mosessoghmonyan847 Such a kind person that I had the honor of knowing. We once played "Is there anybody out there" by Pink Floyd on acoustic guitars in the Sam Ash acoustic room after work. Beautiful memory.
Brought a tear to my eye. I LOVE how the band will still do some of Wayne’s original songs. Instead of moving past him completely, they still pay their respects and do tribute (much like this performance). You can tell they loved their brother. Great work guys keep it up. Rest In Peace, Wayne. We will be seeing you soon 🤙🏼
You guys are killin' it!!! It's not easy to do Static-X justice, but you guys are making Wayne proud. I know it's the original band, but it was Wayne's presence that tied it all together and you're doing a great job keeping it alive and well.
The homage is wonderful. I truly think it's time to show the faces of this tribute and take some well deserved credit for the talent X (?) is. I mean no offense.
This is awesome. The way they have come to honor the talent and heart of Wayne Static with keeping Static-X alive. This amount of love is immeasurable. ❤❤❤❤
Who would've thought Edsiel Dope was the one who would fill Wayne's shoes. We all miss Wayne but damn he does a great job and shows a huge amount of respect to Wayne.
Great to see a lot of comments and still enjoy listening to Static X after all these years! It's amazing how music can bring back memories and make us feel like we're reliving the past. Evil disco truly never dies, and Static X's music is a testament to that. Keep on rocking! R.I.P Mr. Static.
So many bands and fans lose amazing and talented artists over the years but static x done such an amazing job honoring the late and still great Wayne 🤘🏾
Sure playing in that gear has gotta suck after awhile, but dammit it looks dope as hell. Almost like Wayne is back as a cyborg to rock tf out all over again! Definitely gotta see these guys if they come to my hometown.
This is awesome. I got into static x from high school 2003 and once saw Wayne in the mall while working at GameStop at Norfolk,Va. seemed like such a humble guy and wish i would have had the courage to have met him. The fact this is still going on in his name is incredible and speaks to the community. Much love for everyone ❤
Check out destroyer, kinda sad that one of the lines is "have a drink with your painkiller" but it's a sick song. One of my favorite bands from this Era of metal.
@@SynikalSloth87 yeah it's him, but in an interview he did, he basically said he doesn't want fans to call it "Static-X with Edsil Dope." He just wants the legacy of Wayne Static to live on, which is why the denial happens
Wayne would be proud and Zero is the perfect extension to him. It's funny this video showed up in my feed since I was just listening to Static-X with my girl tonight during dinner. The X has been an icon for both of us since WDT and we've been listening to them since 2000. 23 years later they still sound just as good as back in the days. Love these guys!
Holy shit, he sounds almost IDENTICAL to Wayne.... Static x is the band that actually got me into metal at such a young age.... Was probably 12 when I first heard them. Walmart had their music video on a loop in the TV section and I was hypnotized by the entire song.
Saw Static-X once live in Toledo, OH about 20 years ago. Playing in a small venue like this... loudest show I've ever been to. My ears bled for days. And I'd do it again. RIP Wayne.
Amazing! One of the bands that went thru the golden age and still managed to make it alive somehow. Everytime I listen to these guys, Korn, Disturbed...oh, the memories...😔😔 R.I.P Wayne, your boys are killing it...😭
I grew up with Static-X and seeing this performance made me shed a tear. It took a lot to fill in Wayne's shoes and this man delivered! I'll sure be looking to catch them live one day!
Just saw them last night in Buffalo, and no joke, they put on one of the best live performances I've seen. If you get a chance to see them, take it. You won't be disappointed.
You know at first I wasn't so sure how I was going to feel about along with many other fans but never had any real doubts. Now if it didn't sound anything like Static-X then I wouldn't be writing this right now. Honestly I'm really liking it and am just happy that Static-X is still out there killing it!!!
Covered this song and used it to close our set 5 years ago so when this song hit my adrenaline was through the roof , was able to rage one last time for the night , even though by this point I was dehydrated as fuck , would definitely see static x again,
I'm so grateful for being able to experience this song live with the original singer, Wayne probably over a decade ago. It was life changing walking into the venue with Static-X performing that song.
man i've seen so many live shows, and it's rare when i can say i recognize that voice, So edsel dope is singing in wayne's place and i'm happy that i've been lucky enough to see both live. Rip Wayne and great Job paying tribute
This video would bring a tear to your eye, so glad the original band is together, this singer is doing a tremendous job , Wayne would be definitely proud ! BRAVO
Desde el otro lado Wayne esta feliz y orgulloso de ver lo grandes q son al seguir con su gran banda y representando su música de la mejor manera y con el respeto q se merece el y sus fans 🫡
Tremendo el cantante de Dope quedo como anillo al dedo, pero nunca entendi por que eran dos bandas que se mezclaban como el guitarrista que tenia rasta, en el video de Only
In 2000 in Tampa FL I saw Dope open for Static X who opened for Powerman 5000. I was the only one of my friends there who knew who static x was and had never heard of Dope. No one that I knew really liked Dope that much, but I actually thought they were pretty good and when they opened and were all head banging their long ass dreads or whatever they had going on with their hair, it had me fckn pumped immediately. Never really thought Dope or even Static x would be around as long as they have and going as strong as they are. I sure as shit would have never thought that the bands that I was seeing that night 23 years ago would have the events and merging that they had with Edsel taking Wayne's place after his death. This shit brings me back man. Would love to see them again. I'm 40 now...don't know if I'll ever go to a live show again, but hopefully one day I can. These bands were the soundtrack of my senior year in high school and for many years after that.
I remember that show, I'd won tickets on 98rock back when calling in was still a thing 😣.It was at Janus Landing back when it looked like someone's backyard. Static X was hands down the best band. Good times.
@@ewarde7905 Good times for sure, it's crazy how short that Metal era from 97-2005 lasted, a lot of other genres are still going/get rediscovered. I miss it so much 🎶🤘🎵 *I was 8 in 1997.
This gave me chills. Especially when I tough that without wayne the band wont be the same. But this guy xero freaking nailed. Stunning performance his vocals are sick. This video gives me chills everytime I watch it
I am incredibly impressed by Xer0's performance. I really was not expecting this?! So so good. I had the pleasure of seeing Wayne Staic perform a few months or so b4 he passed It was incredible ❤️ R.I.P. Mr Staic, you are missed🤘🤘💕💕
Literally my first time seeing/hearing these guys. Can you say, “Instant Fan?” NGL, Xero looks like he stepped through a portal from a hell dimension… 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Been a fan since I was a kid. Was like 12 or 13, cousin came by with the new c.d. in his truck. You should really hear this coming through 2 15" and 2 12" sub woofers..... Literally changed my heartbeat, haven't looked back since. 20 years and counting
If there's a place where souls rest and can see what we do in their absence, I really hope Wayne is watching the way his friends honor him. RIP Wayne, we will always miss you!

I was going to see them, even had tickets, just a few after Wayne passed.
The best quality video of this tour I have seen! Love static-x and glad they are keeping the music alive.
I love the respect shown to Wayne with the hair
Wayne would be proud and Zero is the perfect extension to him. It's funny this video showed up in my feed since I was just listening to Static-X with my girl tonight during dinner. The X has been an icon for both of us since WDT and we've been listening to them since 2000. 23 years later they still sound just as good as back in the days. Love these guys!
Xer0, not Zero.
Saw the original line up years ago, great to see Wayne being honoured like this
KEEPING THE BRAND ALIVE bravo boys
Glad to see Static-X still going. Idk why but I'm very impressed by new lead singer Xer0 playing with those gloves on
I was like how is he even doing that but if you look closer you can see his fingers sticking out the bottom
Holy shit, he sounds almost IDENTICAL to Wayne.... Static x is the band that actually got me into metal at such a young age.... Was probably 12 when I first heard them. Walmart had their music video on a loop in the TV section and I was hypnotized by the entire song.
Saw Static-X once live in Toledo, OH about 20 years ago. Playing in a small venue like this... loudest show I've ever been to. My ears bled for days. And I'd do it again.
RIP Wayne.
Amazing! One of the bands that went thru the golden age and still managed to make it alive somehow. Everytime I listen to these guys, Korn, Disturbed...oh, the memories...😔😔
R.I.P Wayne, your boys are killing it...😭
Saw them open up for the Rob Zombie/Mudvayne on the first freaks on parade tour and they GOT THE WHOLE ARENA GOING truely AMAZING.❤

We all miss Wayne, but it's badass it's going on. Xero is def channeling. Rock on.
Xer0
Классно что они продолжают делать концерты! R.I.P. Wayne!
I grew up with Static-X and seeing this performance made me shed a tear. It took a lot to fill in Wayne's shoes and this man delivered! I'll sure be looking to catch them live one day!
Just saw them last night in Buffalo, and no joke, they put on one of the best live performances I've seen. If you get a chance to see them, take it. You won't be disappointed.

You know at first I wasn't so sure how I was going to feel about along with many other fans but never had any real doubts. Now if it didn't sound anything like Static-X then I wouldn't be writing this right now. Honestly I'm really liking it and am just happy that Static-X is still out there killing it!!!
🤟😫
That getup is freakin awesome! 😂
This is So Beautiful Always Remembering Wayne Static!! Thanks Static X!!!
Jesus Christ, Xer0 absolutely nails it!
He sure the hell did! Tbh I haven't listened to them with him fronting. Not bad at all!
This is really good. I was lucky to have seen Static-X live. I think Wayne would be happy about this.
I never get tired of seeing or hearing this music. Wish I could see them live one day. It's too good of an homage.
Absolutely brilliant work, Wayne would be more than proud that the group is still Pushing It
Covered this song and used it to close our set 5 years ago so when this song hit my adrenaline was through the roof , was able to rage one last time for the night , even though by this point I was dehydrated as fuck , would definitely see static x again,
I'm so grateful for being able to experience this song live with the original singer, Wayne probably over a decade ago. It was life changing walking into the venue with Static-X performing that song.
man i've seen so many live shows, and it's rare when i can say i recognize that voice, So edsel dope is singing in wayne's place and i'm happy that i've been lucky enough to see both live. Rip Wayne and great Job paying tribute
This video would bring a tear to your eye, so glad the original band is together, this singer is doing a tremendous job , Wayne would be definitely proud ! BRAVO
Zero looks SIC!!!!! it's the first time I've seen since forever after Wayne Static passing. I'm glad to see this band still kicking!!!!!
Xer0, not Zero
That show was kick ass. I totally saw the selfie stick and was like WTF is that. Now I'm glad you did it lol.
Thanks!
Desde el otro lado Wayne esta feliz y orgulloso de ver lo grandes q son al seguir con su gran banda y representando su música de la mejor manera y con el respeto q se merece el y sus fans 🫡
Tremendo el cantante de Dope quedo como anillo al dedo, pero nunca entendi por que eran dos bandas que se mezclaban como el guitarrista que tenia rasta, en el video de Only
Thanks for uploading! Seeing em next month and am stoked 🤘
🤟😫
In 2000 in Tampa FL I saw Dope open for Static X who opened for Powerman 5000. I was the only one of my friends there who knew who static x was and had never heard of Dope. No one that I knew really liked Dope that much, but I actually thought they were pretty good and when they opened and were all head banging their long ass dreads or whatever they had going on with their hair, it had me fckn pumped immediately. Never really thought Dope or even Static x would be around as long as they have and going as strong as they are. I sure as shit would have never thought that the bands that I was seeing that night 23 years ago would have the events and merging that they had with Edsel taking Wayne's place after his death. This shit brings me back man. Would love to see them again. I'm 40 now...don't know if I'll ever go to a live show again, but hopefully one day I can. These bands were the soundtrack of my senior year in high school and for many years after that.
You'll be at a live show again soon, not to worry 🎶🤘🎵
I remember that show, I'd won tickets on 98rock back when calling in was still a thing 😣.It was at Janus Landing back when it looked like someone's backyard. Static X was hands down the best band. Good times.
@@ewarde7905 Good times for sure, it's crazy how short that Metal era from 97-2005 lasted, a lot of other genres are still going/get rediscovered. I miss it so much 🎶🤘🎵
*I was 8 in 1997.
Excellent performance. Was always one of my favorites growing up and I am super impressed by the comeback. Rip Wayne
This gave me chills. Especially when I tough that without wayne the band wont be the same. But this guy xero freaking nailed. Stunning performance his vocals are sick.
This video gives me chills everytime I watch it
His voice is amazing
Xer0
Thanks for the great quality video! Can't wait to see this show live 🤘
Thanks for watching!!!
Holy crap! That’s exactly how’ I’d want to be remembered by my music if I went out! Use my skull and everything lol! So cool
I can’t watch anything with Zero without tears in my eyes. He does such a good job honoring Wayne it hurts.
Xer0, not Zero
Man much respect for the vocalist to take on the role and character while taking no credit for it,what a friend he is
I am incredibly impressed by Xer0's performance. I really was not expecting this?! So so good. I had the pleasure of seeing Wayne Staic perform a few months or so b4 he passed
It was incredible ❤️ R.I.P. Mr Staic, you are missed🤘🤘💕💕
R.I.P. Wayne Static. You are never forgotten bud.
Saw you guys in the early 2ks, you had 30 Seconds to Mars open for you in the House of Blues. Such a great show an amazing band!
Literally my first time seeing/hearing these guys. Can you say, “Instant Fan?”
NGL, Xero looks like he stepped through a portal from a hell dimension…
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
🤟😫
Been a fan since I was a kid. Was like 12 or 13, cousin came by with the new c.d. in his truck.
You should really hear this coming through 2 15" and 2 12" sub woofers.....
Literally changed my heartbeat, haven't looked back since. 20 years and counting
Welcome brother, go back and check em out. They did such a great service to Wayne, especially this tour man.
Xer0
The algo provides, sometimes! Thanks for the upload, youve made a nee fan in me!

If there's a place where souls rest and can see what we do in their absence, I really hope Wayne is watching the way his friends honor him. RIP Wayne, we will always miss you!
The singer looks like a bandit from Borederlands 2, AWESOME!!!! They all sounded badass, fantastic job everyone, RIP Wayne 🥲
