Tripp Eisen

Tod Rex Salvador (born June 29, 1965), known professionally as Tripp Eisen, is an American musician 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. After touring as the Rejects until 2002, the band changed their name and released their debut Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls under the name Murderdolls that same year. 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.
