R.I.P. Wayne Static
 

I was surprised to read about this. He was the frontman of Static-X. I didn't hear a lot of his works, but I remember enjoying what I heard from him.

It's believed that he died of a drug overdose. As much as I'd like to hope that that isn't the case, it's probably futile.

Such a waste; we keep losing all the good musicians and yet Nickelback still survive.

I just want to shake these guys and yell "Stop doing drugs - we need you here!!!"

Damn It, not another one. R.I.P. Mr. Static :cry:.

I almost want to cross out Nickleback and replace it with "Justin Bieber".

Seriously though. It's not good when anyone dies.

Yeah, I was mostly being tongue-in-cheek there; I'm not really going to wish death on someone if their worst crime is making music that I don't like... it just feels like we're losing all of the heavies, and nobody with any originality is coming in to replace them.

I found out this morning and its a shame, I haven't really listened to them in ten years but I was a fan and still enjoy their music. I'm only familiar with their first three albums, haven't heard the other three but I guess I'll be able to enjoy them. Machine was probably the best record with Shadow Zone their weakest, but all albums had their fair share of stinkers and good songs. I was actually lucky to see them twice around the release of their third record, and in small venues too so I saw them up close and personal. Very enjoyable band to see live, their music translated very well and their presence was really felt, I would've loved to have seem them another time.
