Its time for a brand new Riff Retrospective with Uncle Ben Eller! This time, we are gonna be talking about one of my absolute favorite albums from the nu-metal heyday of the late 90's, Wisconsin Death Trip by Static X! Its a full album of evil disco fun, and i'm gonna show you just what makes it great by breaking down the sickest riffs this album has to offer. I'll also dispel some long-standing myths about their tuning and debunk some inaccurate TABs along the way, too.
What album should we visit on the next Riff Retrospective?!

Another cool one from this kinda era would either be Fear Factory (Demanufacture) or Strapping Young Lad (City). Detox is famous as Dev's favorite song from City. Likewise Scumgrief from Demanufacture is another big riff machine. Its all part of that heavy palm-muted industrial style that came out of the 90s as a reaction to some of the Norwegian Black Metal (even Devin talks about Emperor and how that later influenced the wall of sound on "Alien"). Thanks again, keep the faith and the videos coming. I can tell you put a lot of time into these!

@radomirivankovic4115 Год назад

Can you do retrospective of band Smak from Serbia, I believe you would be blown away with their guitarist Radomir Mihailovic Tocak. Biska 2 Ulazak u harem Tegoba Maht Tema Etc. Those are instrumentals, so you could her Tocaks playing, they mostly sing in Serbian, but have 2 albums in English, check it out ;)

@ScottyBrockway Год назад

I'm older and I hated Nu Metal, but I loved Static-X from the moment I heard them, and Wayne was a unique person with a really cool style not only guitar, but vocals too, and his look. One of a kind, RIP Wayne.

@erikfincher5011 Год назад

Wayne was my BFF. I loved him and working for him was my honor. Cheers for the nice words. And yes, somehow they transcend the label nu metal. Must be why this is one of the only platinum albums from that era

@northernbrother1258 Год назад

Ha! That’s what everyone says…I hate Nu Metal but I love Limp Bizkit (or Korn or Slipknot or Tool)… you like Nu Metal…it’s OK!🤣

@Cleverconveyence Год назад

Yeah. Didn't like Korn, Disturbed, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, any of that. But Static-X always had a special place in my heart.

I love the love for Static X’s simplicity. It’s simple, but it’s catchy, & it fkn grooves. Evil disco forever

@jasondorst13 Год назад

Agreed. I don’t think of them as Nu Metal at all. More industrial metal.

@blackedelweiss601 2 месяца назад

simple musically per say, but some of his vocal performance is pretty advanced.

@DC33879 Год назад

Props to you Ben for giving Wayne and this album the credit it deserves. It was key for me as beginner in developing a tight picking hand and discovering the importance of where you place your hand in conjunction to the bridge when palm muting for those uber percussive chugs. Also worth mentioning was the Marshall Valvestate 8100 he used. The amp sounds vicious with a Duncan Distortion and a good clean boost in front. On the note of the “Shall I grab my shovel?” sample: This was taken from an interview of a lady who fought off an intruder and hogtied him. The final sample is from the film “Sorority Babes In The Slime Bowl-O-Rama”.

Dude!!!! Mystery solved, I’m so glad to know what that’s from hahaha

I saw Static X in El Paso in the summer of 2003. This club had a 200 person capacity. We were right up to the edge of the stage. One of the best shows I've ever been to.

@estebanjosealvarado3138 Год назад

You should do Rammstein's Sehnsucht next. Another 90's classic full of simple yet timeless and awesome riffs.

@BenEller Год назад

Oh my GOD great idea!!!!

@KaijuAlert Год назад

Sehnsucht is a banger from start to finish. Rammstein never wrote a better riff than the intro and verse to 'Küss Mich'.

@PhobosDDeimos Год назад

Rammstein and Static-X are similar in that regard, that the guitars don't need to be complicated. There's a lot going on around them and they just need to hit hard.

@nordicsilver9675 Год назад

Love your vids man!

@LorcanWard Год назад

I'll always love the simplicity of their riffs because the vocals are doing complicated things, they take the centre stage while the band brings the right amount of groove so any non musician can follow and remember, like you said they have a very percussive approach, rather than a melody they focus on rhythm. This record still holds up today and would go down just as well if it was released today. Nu-metal brought so much unique ideas to the metal scene.

@PhobosDDeimos Год назад

Wayne's vocals really are the star of their songs. Remember "Dirthouse"? Possibly the most repetative song ever, but it's f**ng great.

@PhobosDDeimos Год назад

There must be something in the air. Static-X is popping up everywhere lately and I love it. Maybe it's their recent revival, which is really cool btw! Great video as always, uncle Ben. Couldn't agree more with your sentiments. Static was and is still amazing.

@besubtle4747 Год назад

Holy frick this just unlocked a core memory for me. Back in ye olden Limewire days, whenever I heard about a band that I sorta liked I would download EVERYTHING that came up when searching for them. so I typed in '3 doors down', hit search, slapped ctr+a and downloaded it all. obviously half of the shit was labeled incorrectly so eventually when I listened to my music on shuffle, I got this amazing song '3 doors down - I'm with stupid'. All I could think was "maybe this is some of their older shit or whatever but it goes HARD"

@BenEller Год назад

Hahahaha oh my god, those were definitely the days!

@Barrsie Год назад

I was introduced to these guys with Shadow Zone, but going back and hearing their back catalogue was pretty awesome. I think my favourite tracks rotate between Wisconsin Death Trip, Permanence, Otsegolectric and I'm The One. They really hit on something special with Evil Disco.

@dominikignacik9736 Год назад

Both PM5K and this Static-X album were huuuge parts of my adolescence. Love that the simple dance’y riffs are getting some credit.

@design1of470 11 месяцев назад

I bought Wisconsin Death Trip and I played it in my car all the time. I knew all the words. Machine came out, that was awesome, too. I got to see Static-X open up Family Values 2002, and they tore the place apart. It was awesome. That night, I saw Static-X with Wayne, STP with Scott Weiland, and Linkin Park with Chester.

@johnnichols8553 Год назад

I thumb-up'd this video 5 seconds into it, because I love Wisconsin Death Trip so much. Listened to it non-stop back in 1999/2000-ish. Wayne Static was one of a kind.

@SamBrockmann Год назад

I dare you to do a riff retrospective of that Powerman 5000 album.

@swordmonkey6635 Год назад

I've always thought "Otsegolation" was a love letter/homage to the legendary Dutch industrial/electronica group, Front 242. There is so much of a Front 242 groove to that song. Wayne's singing style for that song screams Front 242 in a lot of ways. Loved Static X since 1999. They weren't afraid to experiment.

@SnappyJCM800 Год назад

I just revisited Static X and forgot how much I enjoyed their music

@PhobosDDeimos Год назад

Wayne did say that when composing a song, the guitar was almost an afterthought for him. His focus was on programming, singing and performing. He was such a great entertainer. I also think that his music shares some qualities with Rammstein in that it's never meant to be Dream Theatre but simple riffs hitting hard with lots of other stuff around the guitars going on.

@tannerslomko 6 месяцев назад

Very cool of you to make a Static-X video. Sure it probably won't be your most watched video, but those of us who are here to watch it appreciate it very much.

@Xplora213 Год назад

Holy shit I’ve got chills from that Push It riff. Damn… Wayne was somehow a genius.

The Push it riff seems similar to Suite Pee by System of a Down. Just slowed down a tiny bit. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

Great video Ben, love this album! I was fortunate enough to have seen them live at Ozzfest one year, they were awesome! I had to check out the Anniversary tour a couple years back and I was really impressed with how they did that as well, I ever got Tony's setlist straight from the man himself!

@oldmanriff7633 Год назад

One of my 1999 favorites: Filter, Title of Record. But my all-time favorite from the semi-industrial metal 90's will always be Cleansing from Prong. Would love to hear a Tommy Victor riff retrospective! The 3, 2.7, 2.5 harmonic stuff would fit right in on a "More Things Gojira Does" video.

@scottbroberts Год назад

Before Wisconsin Death Trip came out, a friend took me to see them at the Troubadour in LA, and they blew me away. Such a fun band and really nice people. RIP Wayne.

Wisconsin Deathtrip was my very first “P.A.” Album I bought on my 16th birthday and played it so much, I had to buy another copy a year later. I ended up having to buy it 3 more times… still one of the best albums from that time and it’s hard to beat to this day. Wonderful video.

OMG thank you so much! I was first introduced to Static X when I saw them live in July of 2022 while they were touring them with Powerman 5000, Mudvayne, and Rob Zombie and Static X was the standout for me and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since. I’ve been looking for a video like this for AGES and seeing all the tricks they use like the harmonic thing is SUPER inspirational and I can’t thank you enough Uncle Ben, this genuinely made my day!

@danmosher Год назад

I was lucky enough to meet the band a few times, including a special private show at a studio in Philadelphia (my buddy won tickets through the radio). They were always great live and kind when talking with them. Tony once made fun of me because I asked him to sign my hand - I asked the band to sign them since I had no merch for the studio set and had to take pictures as proof. I met them again during the Shadow Zone tour at a show on Wayne's birthday. We waited for hours for him to come out after celebrating in the bar. His hair was flopped over at 45 degrees by that point. 😆

@nathanielwiens Год назад

I don't know for sure because I haven't seen any interviews where they've talked about it, but I think part of the lucky draw of writing "simple" riffs was because Wayne had to sing along. Most of these groovy riffs fit hand in hand with the vocals, both in timing and in their tonal subtlety hiding in the chunky mud. First 3 Static X albums are still very much in my listening rotation.

Static-X to me is one of the best examples of a band that does a lot with a little. Such basic guitar work, but it's a perfect fit with all the added electronic samples taking the spotlight. A lot of us, myself included, like to point and laugh at nu-metal, but I will always defend Static-X.

@carsandconcerts Год назад

"Absolutely fantastic! I consider myself lucky to have worked as a photographer for Circus Magazine in the past, and I had the opportunity to take pictures of Static X on several occasions. The entire band was consistently approachable to both fans and media. Wisconsin Death Trip remains one of my top favorite Albums/CDs. Many thanks Uncle Ben."

RU-vid algorithm definitely doing its thing here, as I saw that exact same Static X interview from like 1999 after it was recommended to me a couple days ago. And yea, I loved this band when they first showed up. They also were the reason I bought a Valvestate 100w half stack, which was one of my early lessons in 'dont chase tone by buying what your favorite guitarists use'. I didn't even hate it or anything, it just didn't get me what I was looking for.

I think it's interesting that you like the simple riffs with chuggs and effects if they sound good. Considering your skill level, it just puts things in the right perspective for the rest of us playing that everything doesn't have to be played super complex and appear intimidating to be considered good. Excellent of you to show that because it encourages everyone to continue on from where they are ! 👍

@andrewpardue3324 Год назад

I agree 💯 % Wayne Static Rules ! I love him and the Band. I really love all of their albums and the covers that they did do. Pig Hammer was so Awesome 🤟🏻🤯🤟🏻. I also loved the Newest album with “Zero”. In most cases i can understand why most people ( rock stars etc) might not ever want people to recreate them after they have passed away ( Wayne’s image ) like what they did … But this is Not like most situations… To anyone who would say that in this particular situation about Wayne Static, He was not a regular Rock Star⭐️ he sounded like he did because he was way different than anyone else out there musically and vocal style wise. By being different it made him Original and memorable immediately. it’s a huge part of what made him super cool 😎. I actually think that Wayne would be 100% into the way he and his music has lived on because of the band ( it’s obvious they really do love Wayne ) and the fans love for what he and they did together! Purely so Awesome on every level. 😎 for a couple of years I thought what is going to happen to the music he was working on? ( hoping that it didn’t just sit there in a box / or computer file and never to see the light, knowing he was almost ready to drop another album of awesome tunes ) I love what they have done! ( I think that Wayne himself would love it!) I think that given a bit more time they would have reformed Static-X and I do not see a single molecule of disrespect. I see the very polar opposite of disrespectful, it’s what he would have wanted! they have found a way we can all continue celebrating who he was and his incredible music. We all knew then and do still know that Wayne was a Special Dude as well as a very unique person that just thought🎉 about things way differently from most people do. ( Damn he was very funny too 😄) and especially considering who is behind the mask 🙂 and unlike most singers he really can nail Wayne’s very unique singing voice down just right , better than anyone else out there ever would have. Edsel Dope is the Perfect person vocal style and personality wise as well to do the “Zero“ character I think 🤔( I can’t even think of another guy that could pull it off properly!) . The guys have all done such an amazing thing and I truly believe that Wayne Static would love the fact that the fans can hear what he was doing with the new music and that his image lives on 💥💯🤯👍🏻 Super cool !!! It couldn’t have been very easy in a number of ways to finish that and get it out there… Cheers 🍻to all the guys for doing all that ! Static-X Rules ! That new album is Awesome! 🤟🏻🤯🤟🏻

They were great live. ❤👽🤘🏼 R.I.P Wayne.

Without knowing anything about Static-X, I bought "Wisconsin Death Trip" solely based on the album name and (maybe) the CD cover. I was blown away with how cool and simple and aggressive the songs were.

@paulchapman7838 2 месяца назад

Ben, you are definitely correct about the tuning, at least in this era of the band's work. In an interview with Wayne published in one of the guitar rags of the day, he stated that they called their sound "Evil Disco" and achieved said sound by tuning two full steps down to C. When asked what effects he used, he replied with, "palm muting and a Marshall." The magazine used to show diagrams of the artist's rig. Wayne's diagram was his Gibson V straight into his stack, with a note showing it tuned down to C.

That CD was in my vehicle through the 90s. They were so incredible in concert when they toured that on the Ozzfest tour. No BS, just came out, played every song back to back, minimal talking. Brutal show. That Peavey looks like a modern version of the old Rockmaster preamp (the preamp section of the 6505 in a single space rack). Was a brutal metal machine hardly anyone knew about. Crushing tones and effects loops for each channel and a shared to minimize the pedal board tapdance.
