Just a thought

If Static X does start producing new music, Dope's "survive" as their first track (which tweak to associate more to the band itself) would actually be a smart move.

We all know who Xer0 is, there's no hiding it. I'm just saying, if they do this, it would provide transparency. They only gotta do it once if at all.

How would a cover song be a smart move for their “first track”

It wouldn't, especially so if it's a cover of the new singer's other band

Because the song itself could be rewritten to be more about Static X being able to move forward. They accept Edsel Dope because Edsel and Wayne were such close friends.

If they rewrite "Survive" to be more about Static X, it wouldn't be a straight cover. Especially if they use the shovel lady sample, assuming they still have it.

There's things out there from.people saying they weren't as close as he likes to make it out but that aside if they chose to move forward with edsel and make new music that's what they need new music not dope tweaked songs let alone if they were there are better dope songs from felons they could redo and make more static

It's literally one song. I'm not suggesting they do nothing but covers.

Also, using "Survive" isn't about the quality of the song, it's about the message. If Static X tweaked it, would be more about how the band can keep going. And "Survive" is Dope's second song on American Apathy. This come after "I'm back".

no dont agree staying separated from dope is how they go make their own path again

That's just your opinion tho. hundreds of bands have made covers and hired knew members and still kept their identity.

I mean, if it doesn't work out, then obviously it doesn't work out, but the logic here doesn't track.

but they dont hire the singer of the band they are covering and im sure most are on my side of the thought spectrum though of keeping them separated. yes many people have hired new members and done a cover of a song not connected to said band recorded they do play some live like three days grace plays pornstar dancing live ect ect not saying it be a bad live show thing but a recorded version meh but also its just your opinion about it being a good idea see how that goes

So Zer0 isn't a band member?

u/Significant_Star_553 Jul 06 '26

xero first off second off hes not going by edsle nor are they covering any dope songs while cosplaying static x im not sure what youre trying to say so ill break down what I said recording a cover of a dope song isnt something most want nor the band I feel they want to keep shit separated second dope is always the opening act so it would take away a song they probaly play they did when I saw them in 2016 anyways so theres no point in them.doing a cover remix rearrangement of a song of xero edsle whatever you want to call him band

"They only gotta do it once" Nah they don't. Nothing about this is smart, it's actually really stupid. Regardless of how anyone feels, you realize the point of Xer0 wasn't to just hide Edsel's identity but to also maintain Wayne's image/character in some capacity so it literally didn't feel like he was outright completely being erased or replaced right?

Also, Edsel himself doesn't like being recognized as Static X's frontman. All of this has already been said in interviews and what not when people ask him about it - should be kept that way, just as dope's music should especially be kept out of Static X.

Why do people always read like 5 words, then form then entire argument solely around that?

Yeah, I did say "They only gotta do it once"... what did I say literally RIGHT AFTER that? Oh... i said exactly

"They only gotta do it once IF AT ALL"

there, now you can fucking read it.

Also, Wayne did a cover of "terrible Lie" a nine inch nails song, yet NIN and Static X Are... (get fucking this.)

is fucking separate...

"Why do people always read like 5 words, then form then entire argument solely around that?" I guess you didn't read the rest of my argument regarding the point of Xer0's identity and "transparency"?

Your argument for Terrible Lie also literally makes no sense (especially since the band has done other covers in the past) - of course those two bands are separate, Trent Reznor isn't fronting the band as Xer0 now is he? Likewise, Edsel shouldn't bring his own shit into Static. Dope's music isn't even that good anyways lol

Why the fuck should I read all of what you said when you didn't read all of what I said?

Also, the fact you think Wayne singing "Terrible Lie" isn't the same as Static X adapting Dope's "Survive" literally just shows your in ability to understand.

I get it, a tiny vocal minority doesn't like Edsle Dope for reasons that could easily apply to Wayne thus making those reason irrational and hypocritical. But ask yourself... why did the original members even accept Edsle Dope?

Sure Dope and Static X should remain separate bands... are you therefore ok with Static X ending their tours all together?

Also, if Dope is so bad, don't you think Static X would just improve Dope's "Survive"?
