A biography for Wayne Statichasn’t been written yet.
“The band that I always wanted to tour with was Pantera, and we got to tour with them twice.”
“I don't know how these bands did it back in the '70s when they would crank out two records a year and tour at the same time, which is incredible to me. I have so much respect for all those bands working so hard like that.”
“I wish someone would give me some money for doing nothing.”
“I developed a really bad hernia. I had to cancel the tour and go have surgery.”
“I did my solo thing for a while and got that out of my system.”
“It gets weird with people wanting to touch my hair and beard boundaries, you know?”
“All of my records have their own vibe, depending on what was going on in my life.”
“I'm sure I acted differently after I got married, I know I did. But... people get married and things change. It doesn't mean that the band has to break up.”
“Don't get me wrong: I love the great times I had with Static-X, but sometimes the writing/recording process was frustrating for me.”
“I'm getting older and I guess I was pushing myself too hard; we were doing six shows in a row and all that kind of thing.”
“Metal never dies. Sometimes it's not on the radio and sometimes it's not at the forefront, but heavy rock or metal, or whatever the hell you want to call it, has always been around and will always be around.”
“Obviously we're not Kiss, but we go out there and jump around like idiots and try to have a good time and entertain people.”
“Mexico scares me. There's no law, there's wild dogs and people driving their ATVs down the street. I like to know I can walk down the street and not be arrested for something dumb and have to pay to get my way out.”
“It's cool that MTV is making an effort to support bands like us.”
“I like all kinds of shows. The small shows are a totally different vibe. I don't care how many people are there as long as they're into it.”
“It's just been really hard, 'cause I had a really hard year in 2012 where I had to have triple hernia surgery, and I was out of commission for a year; I couldn't walk, I couldn't sing, I couldn't do anything with work. So it was kind of a rough year.”
“Nothing in life is free, you always pay in the end.”
“I had a dream I was onstage naked and I forgot how to play the songs.”
“To listen to my first record, it doesn't sound like me.”
“I'm the opposite of a gearhead. I like simplicity. I use what works, and the only time I change it is when I have to.”
