Porn star splits Static X

Wayne Static has lifted the lid on the backroom squabbling in Static-X – claiming bassist Tony Campos quit over Wayne’s wife, adult movie star Tera Wray.

And despite Campos quitting, Wayne is happy for Static-X to carry on, with or without any input from others.

Static tells metalrage.com: “Tony’s been playing a lot of childish games over the last couple of years and dropping little lies here and there about me.

“Like, he said that I'm doing a record with Tera and that's why Static is on hold. And I was like, 'C'mon, dude. I'm doing a solo record.'

"I think he's jealous 'cause I have the hottest wife in the world. Honestly, that's what I really think.”

Static is currently working on his Pighammer solo project. He adds: “Here's the way Static-X has always worked: I write all the songs by myself - totally and completely by myself - I give demos to the other guys, and then they add their parts to it, and then we argue about stuff and compromise and it turns out being Static-X.

"So my whole idea with Pighammer was I just wanna do it by myself. I write everything myself anyway. So I'm recording everything myself - no compromising.

"I just so happens that at the same time I'm recording this record, our contract was up with Warner Bros., so it's time for Static-X to re-sign.

“Tony dropped so it's up to me if I wanna do another record as Static-X - with Koichi] or Nick or whoever I want to be in Static-X. But Tony's out of the picture for sure - he dropped out; he doesn't wanna do it anymore.

“My plan was to do this solo record and then do another Static-X record. Tony decided he doesn't wanna do it anymore, so I'm not really sure where that puts things - if Static-X is still gonna be Static-X without him. I think it could be.”

But Static’s line-up for the Pighammer touring band seems to support Campos’s claims.

Static says: “I'm gonna have my wife playing bass on it - like a hot chick bass player on stage, you know what I'm saying?! And then I've got Bevan Davies on drums who actually has played with Static-X. And then I've got another buddy of mine who's probably gonna play guitar.”
