hey i read some threads and people say sz wasn't as good. man what are you guys on sz was there best album and does any one know why tripp hates edsel dope and why did he murder dolls damn joey jordison stealing dope members lol so post some thing i want to know what you think

Well...it could quite possibly be that most of the reviews you read were written by fans of Wisconsin Death Trip that like that end of Static's sound better...I enjoyed Shadow Zone, but it was definitely different than past efforts. My favorite to this day still remains to be WDT. And as for why Tripp isn't very fond of Edsel...let's just say there was a lot of wrongdoing on Edsel's part.

"Allot of people don't know that a large part of Tripp Eisen's final dismissal from Dope was related to his side project with Joey Jordison. We were in the process of writing and rehearsing our 2nd album and Tripp wanted to go to Iowa and play with Joey in his "Rejects" project. I didn't think that the timing was right and felt like Tripp's priority's should have been solely Dope at such a crucial time in our career. Tripp insisted on going and upon his return he was let go from Dope. Obviously me and Tripp had other issues that ran much deeper. But for me, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. After being let go by Dope he was fortunate enough to land the gig with a very well known and kick ass band by the name of "Static X." I guess this time around he is not going to make the same mistake with Static that he made with Dope. He has decided to remain committed to Static X through the writing process of there next album instead of touring with Joey and the Murderdolls. I think this is the wise move for him and hopefully this will give him the opportunity to write and maybe even play guitar on the next Static X record. Go Tripp!! So because of Tripp's priority's Acey gets to step into another situation that is rolling along smooth. From what I hear, Tripp found the guys in the Murderdolls and has been doing the majority of the word of mouth buzzing about them to the Static-X fans. I'm curious to hear his take on being replaced permanently by his former band mate Acey Slade in The Murderdolls.

So ironically. One Dope guy is forced to drop out of the band. So what does Joey do? Go after another Dope guy. I just hope everyone can see the pattern of irony in all of this. Another tidbit for you all. I would like you to keep in mind that my drummer Racci "Sketchy" Shay was the original drummer of "The Rejects," "The band that eventually transformed into the Murderdolls". When Racci joined Dope he didn't have much time to continue on with them and word has it that Tripp didn't want to play with Racci anymore because he didn't want to be associated with Dope.

I apologize but this creates a whole other thought for me. One that keeps getting pushed in my face. If you don't want to be associated with Dope then why not branch into your own identity a little more? I looked at a picture of the Murderdolls and I see that Tripp is wearing the same exact pair of overalls that I bought for him to wear in Dope 4 years ago, sporting the same dreaded hair that I dreaded up for him in Dope, wearing the same semi-see through long sleeves and tight T-shirts that I dressed him in and he's still calling himself Tripp, the name that I came up with for him to be in Dope. All of these things he initially resisted when I first presented them to him back in the day. I only bring this up because often on tour I hear all of the drama that continues to circle about how much Tripp hates me and how some of his fans hate me too. If anyone, including Tripp are going to hate me for mine and his differences. Then go back to being who you were before we met. Otherwise let it go and except the fact that I played a crucial roll in helping Tripp become the character that we all get to enjoy. Its funny that someone who claimed that I was so controlling and has so many bad things to say about me as a person has not changed anything about his image, my image, since he left my band.

I mean no disrespect in anything that I say. I think very highly of the characters that both Acey and Tripp have grown into. I never would have had them in my band if I weren't proud of them. I just know how much of what we see in them I am responsible for. I mean that in the best way possible. They are both great performers and I wish them both the best of luck in the future. I have never publicly made derogatory statements about either of them and I have no intention of doing so now or in the future. As far as Dope is concerned we have no current plans to replace Acey. Dope was founded as a one guitar player band in the past and I have no worry's that Virus is and will continue to make us a great one guitar player band in the future. This will also give me the opportunity to play some guitar live again. I haven't done that for a while. Also There have been rumors floating around that my brother Simon has left the band. This is not accurate. My brother will always be a part of Dope. We started this thing just the 2 of us. The truth is that Simon is now working with Activision game company helping with the design and production of their extreme sports video games such as Tony Hawks Pro Skater and various other titles. Simon has never really been a "musician" in the traditional sense of the word and has never been involved in the song writing or recording process for Dope. He has always acted as my bro who would listen to Dope stuff in its raw form and help influence it in whatever direction he was vibing on. His roll will not change. I am thrilled for him that he has found an outlet for his creativity. As for his touring plans, we will have to see as time goes on how he will juggle his new responsibilities. The thought as of now is that he's gonna be like a ninja, sometimes you'll see him at shows and and sometimes you won't. Me and my remaining dread heads are going to finish up the songs we have been working on in the studio and are considering putting out an EP before we put out our 3rd full length album in the months to come.~*~Edsel Dope~*~

i read the first 2 paragraphs and i'm too lazy to read the rest. anyway, i dont want to come off as an ass or anything, but just get over it. Dope seems to be doing fine without Tripp. its like crying over spilt milk.

i don't even know why i read that, but after doing so the only thing that comes to mind is...

if this guy was so kind as to create tripp's image for him, tripp should have at least been kind enough to pass along some lessons in how to write in the english language. one thing i will never debate is tripp's ability to write in such a way that his thoughts are expressed clearly.

to claim that someone has "dressed" another adult is hilarious. all these guys more concerned about the image or "anti-image"...give it a rest please. sadly, it might actually contribute to sales if a certain image is reflected by the members, but if image is more important than artistic creativity and integrity...shameful.

and the name thing...huh? is this a freakin soap opera or is this art? he may have been forced to change his name in order to join the band back then (ridiculous to admit that your art cannot stand on its own without the 'right' stage name), but does that mean he should change it for every project? he had a following and was known to some degree from his work in that band...why change again? to confuse people. maybe he should have changed it to 'the artist formerly known as tripp'? pick a name and stick with it.

to close...i'm gonna go out on a limb and bet that this guy is a high school dropout.

one additional thing...
quick lesson in the english language:
there (referring to a place or direction: stand over there, went there after church)
their (referring to a person or organization: their furniture, anyone in their senses)
to - (referring to direction, purpose, position, etc.: 100 miles to the nearest town)
too - (referring to an excessive degree; besides, also: didn't seem too interested, he came along too)

.....see how easy it is to use the correct one? i know, it's a peeve of mine that i will not accept that persons educated in the language spoken in their home country cannot use it properly. dismiss it if you will, or better yourself and practice the correct word usages.

Astute observation, drano. Edsel was in fact a high school dropout.

Check it out: here is the first picture I ever saw of Dope. Aren't they cute? I can say with confidence that Edsel did not give Tripp the "Who is John Galt?" shirt that he is wearing.

Ya but he Probaly Knows more about the music industry then you do and he has his own studio and he does all his work and mixing almost all by himself so i think hes a smart highschool drop out

ok just wanted to make this clear dope will be better then static-X will ever be not saying static-X is a bad band i have two of there cds but im saying dope will be bigger they have been threw alot with record labels droping them and not lettting them go on tour but thats all peace

I suppose he would appear smart to you.

Seriously now...you asked a question and wanted an answer...only so you could bash it down with your own "truth" (which is actually only Edsel's point of view). Just give it a rest already...I should've never responded to this post. Whatever beef there may be between Tripp & Edsel is exactly that, BETWEEN THEM. Unless either of them decide to talk to you about it personally...just stay out of it.

xxTiNAxx

This thread needs to be moved to Ask the band so Tripp might read this...

tripp wanders around the whole forum now, so he has probably seen it.. probably not worth his time getting back into this yet again, but i am not him... maybe he will reply, maybe he won't, but no matter what, no one ever really knows the truth but them... and it doesn't matter anyway

some people need to stop listening to edsels bullshit.

two words: get a f***** job!

my bad, that was more than 2 but who's counting?

my best friend is in entertainment and who knew it could be this dramatic? mixing personal and business is not a happy thing to do, but what the heck do I know? nothing...thats what.

*love*

btw: brillo_evil, shadow zone is just as good but different in some aspects...I'm hoping the guys will mix shadow zone with some old stuff and some supersonic heavy shit. I want to be in love.

who the hell cares about stupid ass dope anyway, this is a static-x forum...go to dopes forum and ask them about it.
