Static grew up in Shelby, Michigan before moving to Chicago and eventually California. He was three years old when he received his first toy guitar. His parents decided at age seven to get him his first real guitar, an S12 beginner model. He was given lessons, which paid off a year later when he won a talent contest playing "Skip to My Lou". Wayne later played in his first band at the age of 12 and at that point he decided he wanted to be a musician. In High School he played in a band for the dances with fellow classmates. Wayne attended Shelby High School and had summer jobs which included working as an asparagus picker and in a cherry canning factory.
After moving to Chicago, Static created the band Deep Blue Dream with Ken Jay. The group was short lived as they relocated to California in 1994 and Static-X was formed along with Tony Campos and Koichi Fukuda.
Static announced in July 2007 that he will begin a side project, Pighammer, but in a December 2007 interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com, Static stated: "The Pighammer thing will happen when I have time. At the moment though, Static-X will remain my main priority."
Wayne Static is currently touring with a backup band as part of his Pighammer solo-project after finishing recording his first solo record.
The band that plays with Wayne Static on his solos gigs / tours consisted of Brent Ashley on Bass, Sean Davidson on Drums and Ashes on Guitar-all well known and well respected musicians in their own right. In 2012, this lineup would tour as Static-X.
Wayne Static's solo album Pighammer was released on October 4, 2011.
Wayne Static died on 1st of November 2014. His death was originally reported as being caused by a drug overdose; the family later issued a statement that his death was not drug related and happened peacefully in his sleep.
Get It Together
Wayne Static Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The beginning
This eternal
Save us all
Try to put it back together
Timing's right to evoke a secret seance
Time to fight this undying hunger
There's no lying
I'm accepting we've been using
This could still become a sticky situation
Got to deal with these urges now
Get it together
Yeah
Get it together
End of night
The beginning
This infernal
Trade it all
Do it over so forgetful
See the light
It all happens for a reason
Time to kill this unending season
There's no lying
Deepest darkest
I'm accepting it's the hardest
Take my body
Take away the hesitation
Take away the sensation
Get it together
Yeah
Get it together
Get it together
Yeah
Get it together
Thinking about the days when we went insane
Snorted ten pills
Started hallucinating
Popped some Viagra to make my hair stand up
The Patron kicks in and it melts my brain
And then there was the time that we were inside out
Ate enough E to turn my hair into frosting
5am in the parking lot
Couldn't help ourselves
We just couldn't stop it
No remorse, no regrets
I'd do it all again if I had the chance
End of night, see the light
Rode the horse and I aced the test
Time to fight it off
Time to come together
Time to turn it up
Time to come together
Time to fight it off
Time to come together
Time to fight it off
Time to turn it off
Turn it off
Make the case
Kill the moth
Self revealed
Take the loss
Can't replace
Just because
What we feel
Is chaos
Use this trust to
Get it together
Yeah
Get it together
Get it together
Yeah
Get it together
The song "Get It Together" by Wayne Static starts with the lines "Here we lie, the beginning, this eternal, save us all." This line could be interpreted as the beginning of introspection and the realization of the chaos within. The next lines continue with "Try to put it back together, timing's right to evoke a secret seance, time to fight this undying hunger." The singer is trying to gather all the pieces of themselves, and the timing is perfect to bring about a spiritual gathering that will help fight this never-ending desire. The chorus "Get it together" emphasizes the importance of consolidating oneself and facing one's inner demon.
The second verse starts with "End of night, the beginning, this infernal, trade it all." This could be interpreted as the end of ignorance and the beginning of enlightenment - a time to give away everything one knows, unlearn anything that has been programmed, and start afresh. "Do it over so forgetful" reinforces this idea of starting without any prejudices. The singer then sings about getting rid of any unending seasons and accepting that this is the toughest part. The next lines again emphasize the importance of overcoming one's urges and taking control of oneself.
