Tripp Eisen is a former member of Murderdolls, Static-X, and Dope. Born Tod Rex Salvador. He previously used the named "Tripp Rex Eisen", before shortening it. He was recently involved in a scandal involving sex with a minor, kidnapping, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Tod Rex Salvidor (his real name), age 30, was arrested on Febuary 10th 2005 for kidnapping and sexually assaulting a fourteen year old girl from New Jersey (This was only a few months after he bailed himself out of prison for a similar crime). He apparently went onto an internet chatroom and pretended to be a Tripp Eisen impersonater.
Preston Nash, former drummer for Dope, came to Tripp's defense on the official Static X messageboard, and was quoted as saying:
"I'm frankly sickened and disappointed by the response of so many people on this message board. Listen up: THERE'S TOO MANY HOLES IN THE STORY AND NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE HERE TO BE JUDGING AND CRUCIFYING TRIPP RIGHT NOW!!! Yes, Tripp is in trouble, but exactly what happened is not fully known yet, and for anyone to be mouthing off and gossiping right now about this situation is stupid and unfair to Tripp and STATIC-X. I know Tripp probably better than anyone here on this board, and I can say this...I've lived with Tripp both in NJ and CA, and of course toured with him in Dope for 2 years. I've never seen him or have known him to have any sexually physical interaction with underage girls.
As a parent who finds kid-touching the ultimate in reprehensible behavior, I hope he's innocent. But more information needs to be brought to light. Hopefully there's an explanation for all this, but until we know for sure, lighten up, and try giving the benefit of the doubt to a man who is a great person and brilliant performer...
Innocent until proven guilty, and gossip doesn't make someone guilty."
