I saw Asking Alexandria perform “Someone, Somewhere” acoustically in Birmingham last month, and it was a beautiful and moving tribute. To release a new video, featuring footage of the band performing for the troops, is a wonderful way to honor those in the military on this day of remembrance.

Via Facebook:

“In remembrance on Memorial Day, we’re excited to release a new acoustic version of ‘Someone, Somewhere.’ We hope our friends, families and fans around the globe will join us in thanking the incredible servicemen and women around the world that dedicate their lives to keeping us all safe and free from harm. This is for you. We thank you!”

RIP Wayne Static

I have been a fan of Static-X for over a decade. The very first song I heard by them was “Black and White.” I remember buying Machine at Wal-Mart and blasting that, along with “Cold” and “Get to the Gone,” on repeat. When Shadow Zone was released, my best friend and I were obsessed with the video for “The Only.” Someone gave me a copy of Wisconsin Death Trip because I wouldn’t shut up about Static-X and he didn’t care for it that much anyway. I was so excited when I saw the video for “It’s Going Down” by the X-Ecutioners, and there was Wayne…

Needless to say, when I heard the news that he’d passed away, I was devastated. It was made even worse by the fact that I had the chance to see him earlier this year and I couldn’t go. I have been listening to Static-X a lot over the past couple of days in honor of Wayne. Rock in peace, Wayne Static. You will be missed.
