Static X Fire Guitarist

Static-X have split with guitarist Tripp Eisen following reports that Eisen was arrested by authorities in two states on charges that include kidnapping, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child (read story on UG).

The charges stem from two separate incidents involving sexual relations with minors, reports Blabbermouth.net. The group's official statement reads, in part, "Static-X has parted ways with guitarist Tripp Eisen, effective immediately. Tripp is currently dealing with personal issues that prohibit him from being able to fulfill his commitment to the band. No replacement has yet been chosen. Static-X is in the studio putting the finishing touches on its fourth Warner Bros. album, scheduled to be released in May. The band will tour this summer in support of the record."

Eisen has been in police custody since his February 24 arrest, but was scheduled to appear in Central Justice Center Court in Santa Ana, California, on Monday afternoon (February 28), according to MTV.com. It's expected the guitarist will remain in police custody in California until he's cleared for extradition to New Jersey.

[EvilGyroe]

I personally dont like the band, but the band made a good choice of action

[dre-0]

I used to like them
My question is how did he get ahold of the children? I mean he dosent own a ranch with lots of children. Unless he banged some 14 year groupie.

....i dunno

[foxman]

i never really liked them anyway, wasn't he part of murderdolls aswell?

I cant remember them doing a song called loser..... do you mean "im with stupid" ?

[dieiervonstn]

wisconsin death trip was their only cd worth buying

[Pr0phecy_X]

Kill the goof, hang him from a tree. Child molester's dont deserv to live.

[HellBent1337]

They had some good songs, like cold and shit, but nothing really overlyimpressive was shown threw their guitars

[hypocrisy]

I never really minded Static X.

[sgreene10390]

that guy could suck a giant cock and get raped by some guy named big bubba

[lwnovember]

thats ***ed

[radio_schizo]

ach!...what an arse hooole

[RedNovember]

That makes me sad. Even though he was a baby raper, her was still talented. SET TRIPP FREE!!!

Static-X will suffer from it.

[PjX71]

*cough* pedophile

[guns n' dakota]

too bad. okay band but now im kind of scared (locks windows and bars doors)

[psykopoo]

moron, spelt paedofile wrong

[AndyGray]

wait a minute static-x have a guitarist? i though they just placed a guitar infront of an amp and got a load of noise

[fr0zt]

Thats bad, even though it was probably mutual between the two...

[RockMusicFan]

This sucks, Tripp was awesome.

[feind1237]

^ Tripp was a awesome guitar Player with the best stage presence.

[catalyst_1988]

they sucked so much!

[galapagos666]

static-x was better with their original line-up, which tripp wasn't part of. they should be better off without him. Tripp used to be in Dope who sucked

[mkeith25]

1st, whats up with all this 1st shit I see on every comments page
2nd, whoever sits on their asses all day posting comments to music news "first" seriously needs to get out of their parents basement, *** a girl and get a job!!!..
you people are pathetic

[p00dy]

psykopoo:
moron, spelt paedofile wrong

ped·o·phile
n.
An adult who is sexually attracted to a child or children.

[franksciante]

he isnt all that astoundin a guitarist. i think he played some lead on the murderdolls who kick ass... but still not astoundin

[metalphor]

Atleast tripp ***ed girls instead of boys...unlike micheal jackson...

[Guitarist9]

the girls were probably willing... and Static-X is a great band. another guitarist lost *sighs*

[Guitarist9]

Has anyone noticed that Tripp, Maynard, Billy, and Joe all look simular in the face?

[Covin]

RedNovember:
That makes me sad. Even though he was a baby raper, her was still talented. SET TRIPP FREE!!!

So just because somebody can play a guitar means they can *** little girls and not pay for it? They're an okay band, but anybody that does that crap should pay for it. Whether or not the girls were willing.

[ollerom_mot]

that's sick, what a crazy perv. can't understand why anyone would want to go do something like that, especially someone in a band who can get their fair share of one-night stands anyway. shame, he always had such cool hair.

[Ar@n1]

hopefully the paedofinder general will get hold of him....i like static-x.....they made a good choice

[lionheart0117]

Ah, good for them. I'm starting to not like Tripp. ... Yeah, there it goes...

It's PEDOPHILE, people.

[Spankey]

that sucks, but the original guitar player was better than trip so they sould get him back

[Joe@Disturbed16]

Dear god, sexual relations with minors, what a freak man. It's good they fired him for that reason. Although he did add something more to Static-X.

[a dozen furies]

static x is the shit but tripps an idiot

[feind1237]

now korn has a guitar player!!

[RHCPhysco8]

what a dumbass. static x is pretty good though.

[SMFar2112]

i heard that he told the girl that he was from the band t-rex

[feind1237]

Well I aint 18 yet. But if all the grown women who had sex with me wher in jail,Ther would be a lot of kids with no mom. BITCH!

[Dead2TheWorld]

im not saying its right and im not supporting him but dont go making decisions. first of all it was consentual sex so whos not a rapist (well by law yes he is) and also its innocent until proven guility. dont go throwing around words like an idiot

[gary666]

That was unexpected

[afirocker00]

Maybe he can do like Lennon did after his drug bust in the 80's....remember he sang some of his songs with the inmates...oh wait,nobody knows static x's songs..i forgot they suck.

[GrungeMetalFan]

EWWW..

[aliceinnirvana]

*jaw drops*

[natedawg9595]

that's pretty weird, he needs some help. i always thought static-x was ok, not that great though.

[LedZeppelin]

that guy is quite the freak. and a crappy guitarist.

[evening_crow]

ok...korn looses guitarist...static-x looses guitarist...who's next?

[THC-Llama]

how can someone actually care if they lose a pedophile guitarist anyways i mean the dude deserves to get asspared by a big black dude named bubba for the rest of his life adn then when he dies he can get assraped by satan and hitler

[eL_NaNdO]

The messed up part of all this is that that dumbass could probably have gotten any girl (of age) he wanted only because he is in a famouse rock band...but no he had to try to be like R. Kelly.

[UserName123]

good guitarist, too bad hes a sick ***er..assuming hes guilty....

[Riggo Mortis]

Ah, Static-X - yet another nu-metal clone. Every song they've ever done is played on two strings with one finger. In a word, "lame". Sick ***.

[korn fan #1]

i know the guy molested children but he was a guitarist and he was good at it like in the song push it that was probably their best in my opinion but come on people still love micheal jackson and that bitch as we all know has molested more people than this guy so im still disapointed that this guy raped someon and stuff but hes a good guitarist

[ACDCROCKSHARD!!]

evening_crow:
ok...korn looses guitarist...static-x looses guitarist...who's next?

hopefully Slipknow's guitar player, then all the other nu-metal guitarist who couldn't get laid so made a shitty band

[ACDCROCKSHARD!!]

AndyGray:
wait a minute static-x have a guitarist? i though they just placed a guitar infront of an amp and got a load of noise

lol

[ACDCROCKSHARD!!]

I meant Slipknot not Slipknow

[Hawaii69]

It's highly unlikely that he was molesting children
(in the sense that they were little kids).

Far more likely that he was hooking up with 16
year old fans after shows. Still legally children,
and not too smart of him.

[areguzanda]

eisen was a sick ***er never like him .. but i love static-x .. hope they find a good replacement fast !!!

[Cobain_Of_God]

lol looks like a goddamn chomo to

[call_of_puppetz]

meh he had some cool riffs on shadow zone, i was addicted to that cd, have to admit hes got cool hair though lol.
but yea they should get their old guitarist that was on wisconsin death trip back with them. that cd rocks!

i never knew he did stuff with murderdolls either. murderdolls kick ass

[Mr. Clean]

what a perv lol

[Kendawg4TooL]

feind1237:
now korn has a guitar player!!

Korn will continue as a quartet, besides if Static-X doesn't want him for the sick shit he did what makes you think Korn would.

[Benn-Static]

Static-X is one of my favorite bands. I ***in love Tripp, but he definately deserves whatever sentence they give him. I hope Static-X gets Koichi back.

[xenophon]

RockMusicFan:
This sucks, Tripp was awesome.

He was awesome when he was molesting you? OOO..h, you sick freak!

[skylar_rhcp]

1st, its definetely wrong 4 Tripp to do this. but is he all wrong? the girl might wanna get laid herself. hey, we're just reading wat's writen. we weren't there when it happened. i just hope 4 justice.

[emusaregay]

I didn't really know static x, but sad they had to split and not stand by there band member. What is it with bands splitting latley?

[saucehead]

Anybody notice how Tripp always thanked 'Shaved bi-girls everywhere' on his album notes. Maybe he didn't really mean shaved but girls not old enough to have any grass on the field.

[snapneck]

damn like only 1/2 of static-x is origional.

[snapneck]

why isnt jackson in jail?

[Kai-7]

psykopoo:
moron, spelt paedofile wrong

learn how to spell, dickweed. stupid american. You can't even spell in your own language. trailer park trash.

Sleeping with a minor *sigh* who knows if she wanted it? who knows if she didnt? It takes 22 hands to clap. *shrugs*

[Kai-7]

^ 2 hands , i meant.

[StrcturalDfekt]

civ182- if all u have heard is "im with stupid" then dont judge static-x until u have heard the whole cd. ill agree that it is not one of their best songs, but the cd is their best by far.

and Mkeith25- i agree u people are probably a bunch of fat slobs who sit around the computer with a bag of cheetos and a big mac waiting for a forum to come up so u can put 1st in the box and scream for joy and dance around your computers like a bunch of flamers

i think he did dude...

Tod Salvador, better known as Tripp Eisen of Static-X, was charged on Friday with aggravated sexual assault, child endangerment and kidnapping. Salvador reportedly sexually assaulted a 14-year-old New Jersey girl he met over the Internet, according to AntiMusic.
