Koichi Fukuda (born in 1975 ) is a Japanese American musician, and the lead Guitarist , Programmer , and Keyboardist for the Industrial Metal band Static-X . He was present on the band's debut album, '' Wisconsin Death Trip '', but left the band prior to the recording of their second album, '' Machine '', citing personal problems due to excessive touring. However, he did still contribute keyboards to the record. He rejoined Static-X after the firing of their then-current guitarist, Tripp Eisen , at the end of the recording process of the 2005 album '' Start A War '', and was present to record their latest album, '' Cannibal ''. Between his stints in Static-X, he formed another, less aggressive band, called Revolve. Drawing comparisons to early 30 Seconds To Mars , they were very successful locally and played several concerts in and around the Los Angeles, California area. They released several demos as free downloads on their website, and released one EP containing several reworked versions of previously released demos, as well as a few new tracks. On Koichi Fukuda's rejoining into the band, frontman Wayne Static said: He used an Ibanez RG guitar with a single Seymour Duncan Distortion bridge pickup and a reversed headstock (a RGR model where last "R" letter stands for "Reverse") as well as Ibanez amplifers. Lately, he's been seen using ESP guitars, particularly favoring the M-1000 model. EXTERNAL LINKS |
