Dave Wyndorf

David Albert Wyndorf (born October 28, 1956) is an American musician, best known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of hard rock band Monster Magnet.

[4] From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, Wyndorf fronted the punk band Shrapnel, releasing two singles, "Combat Love" and "Go Cruisin'", and a five-song self-titled EP on Elektra Records.

In 1980, the band made a cameo appearance in an issue of The Amazing Spider-Man Annual written by Dennis O’Neil and drawn by Frank Miller.

[5] After learning how to play guitar, Wyndorf started writing songs and formed a new project called Love Monster.

[7] With the release of Monster Magnet's third studio album, Dopes to Infinity, in 1995, the band achieved their first hit single with the song "Negasonic Teenage Warhead".

[11] Although God Says No reached number 153 on the Billboard 200, promotional support by the band's label was lacking and the album polarized fans.

[12] After being dropped by A&M, Monster Magnet's sixth studio album, Monolithic Baby!, was released through German independent label SPV in May 2004.

With the grace of God and those who love him we are all confident that Dave will rebound from this setback and continue to play and make great rock and roll.

[15] Wyndorf further explained that the drugs strengthened his mental problems once their effect wore off and while feeling very weak one day, he consumed a full bottle of sleeping pills, causing the overdose.
