Америкалық гитарист Трипп Эйзеннің өмірі мен мансабы

American guitarist

Tod Rex Salvador (born June 29, 1965), known professionally as Tripp Eisen, is an American musician and convicted sex offender, best known as the former guitarist of industrial metal band Static X. He is the current guitarist for the band Face Without Fear, and a former member of Dope, Murderdolls, and Roughhouse.

Dope was formed in 1997, when Eisen met with brothers Edsel and Simon Dope. Eisen brought in friend Preston Nash to play drums, and the band worked the New York City club circuit. In 1998, Dope was signed to Flip/Sony records, and Eisen moved from bass guitar to lead guitar, bringing in Acey Slade—who had first referred Eisen to Dope a few years earlier—to play bass. After the release of the album Felons and Revolutionaries (1999), the band toured extensively throughout the U. S. and Canada with acts such as Sevendust, Kid Rock, Static X, Slipknot, Disturbed, Chevelle, Fear Factory, Staind, and Alice Cooper. During this time, Eisen met Wayne Static and Joey Jordison, with whom he would go on to collaborate. Eisen appeared in the Dope videos for "Sick" and "Everything Sucks", and gained much notoriety from his wild antics and stage persona. He split with the band in late 2000. The debut album sold in excess of 250,000 copies.

Originally formed by Joey Jordison under the name "the Rejects" in 1995, Eisen joined after meeting Jordison on tour in 1999. Eisen left the group in 2002 to be replaced by Dope bandmate Acey Slade, citing conflicts between touring plans and his work recording with Static X.

Eisen joined the band Static X in the year 2000, after the departure of guitarist Koichi Fukuda. He contributed to the recording of the bands sophomore album Machine, as well the subsequent releases Shadow Zone and Start a War. Eisen has claimed that a number of the tracks on the 2020 Static X album Project Regeneration Vol. 1 were co written by him and Wayne Static. He went on to accuse the band of attempting to alter the compositions in order to deny him songwriting credits, and to say that a legal claim he made against the band was the reason for the album's delay. In a response to a query from a fan on Instagram, the band claimed that Eisen had no involvement in the production of the album beyond compositional credits from his time in the band.

In April 2019, Eisen announced a new project named Face Without Fear through a short promo video. The group features Ken "Mantis" Hoyt (Crushpile) on vocals, TJ Cooke (Methodical) on drums, Dante on rhythm guitar, and Nick Sledge on bass. The band released "Deliverance", their first single, in June 2019. FWF played their live debut in August at Newark's QXT, New Jersey, in August 2019. The band released their second single, "My Parasite", in March 2020 and performed their first livestream event in June 2020.

While a member of Static X, Eisen was arrested on February 10, 2005, on a felony charge of statutory sexual contact with a minor in Orange County, California. He was released on bail after only a few hours in custody. Just two weeks later, on February 24, 2005, Eisen was arrested on a previous charge in California by New Jersey detectives, ultimately being convicted of the charge "luring with a motor vehicle". Upon hearing of the arrests, Static X replaced Eisen with the original guitarist Koichi Fukuda (whom Eisen had replaced after Fukuda left the band in 2000). On June 24, 2005, Eisen pleaded guilty to the charges in California and was sentenced to a year in state prison. He was released later that year and due for an October 7, 2005 arraignment in New Jersey on the February 24 charges. Eisen was back in jail on December 10, 2008, following a parole violation. He was released on October 19, 2009. On February 23, 2017, Eisen gave his first interview in more than a decade. In an interview with Totally Driven Radio, he spoke about his arrest and subsequent release from prison:

There were two cases [involving two separate girls]. I had to deal with both things. And I got through it. [ ] People can It's been out there. It's been so long ago. That's why it's kind of hard to talk about it. But I'm here, I'm alive, I'm well, I survived it, and the fact that It was difficult. [ ] Horrible judgment. What happened to me was really bad judgment, terrible mistakes that I made, and I paid a price for 'em.

In 2004 to 2005, BC Rich guitars produced a Tripp Eisen signature model of their Wave guitar. It featured in Gun metal gray, with two BDSM closed humbuckers, his signature on the back of the headstock and the Static X symbol inlaid 12th fret. In 2005 Epiphone produced a prototype ES 335 signature model, with EMG Pickups, locking nut, and no f holes. The ES 335 was, however, never commercially manufactured. After Eisen's return to performing from 2017 he has continued using his B. C. Rich Wave guitar.
