Tony Campos (born March 8) is an American musician, and the bass guitarist for the industrial metal bands Static-X and Ministry
[edit] Career
Along with Wayne Static, Tony is the only band member that has been a constant figure through the different Static-X lineup changes. Tony backs up with growling low vocals, and he sings the entire song "Anything But This" live. He also performs vocals/bass for Asesino, a Brujeria side project, and he recently joined Ministry after bassist Paul Raven died.[2]
In 2001, Campos suffered a motorcycle accident, resulting in a broken collarbone, which caused him to miss most of the ongoing Static-X tour. He was temporarily replaced with Marty O'Brien.[3] His stage name "Maldito X" means in Spanish "Evil X".[4]
His influences include Cliff Burton, Dan Lilker, Rob Nicholson, Kerry King
[edit] Equipment
