Drowning Pool - CJ
 

 

TM - Hi, this is Amelia and Elizabeth from Twinmusix and we are here with CJ from Drowning Pool thank you for having this interview with us today we appreciate it.

 


CJ - Thank you.

 


TM - What can fans expect from your Australian tour?
 

 

CJ - This is my third time coming to Australia and we are coming with our friends Alien Ant Farm. It will be cool and we will both get to play music on the same stage. You will see a lot of energy and excitement on stage especially when you have bands that are friends, it's going to be intense.

 


TM - What can fans expect from your setlist?

 


CJ - We will make a rough draft of the setlist and then we just go for broke. We will try and make our set list different every night. You will hear some favorites like Let The Bodies Hit The Floor, I cannot wait to play that song, everybody goes nuts when we play it. If you yell out a song we will try and play it for you

 


TM - What's your favourite memory from coming to Australia?

 


CJ - Big Day Out was the first time I was there and just hanging out and meeting the people was amazing, everyone was so chill being at a rock show, it was awesome to play. I like hanging out in the crowd and watching everyone play and hanging out with the fans. I don't hang backstage or on the bus. Getting beat up in the System of a Down mosh pit that was a good memory.

 


TM - Are there any tourist attractions you want to see in Australia?
 

 

CJ - I want to try and pet as many animals as I can, even if they are poisonous. I would like to do a flash mob that would be cool, do you have any suggestions?
 

 

TM - There is a Silent Disco Walking Tour in Melbourne that takes you around and shows you tourist attractions while you dance to music. I would also suggest catching a tram down to the Harbour Bridge and Opera house.
 

 

CJ - I would be into that.
 

 

TM - Are you working on any new music?
 

 

CJ - I am sitting in front of my computer right now and jamming on some music today. Next week we are going to record some songs for Drowning Pool and hopefully we will have a new song out by March. Then we are coming to Australia and then going on tour with Godsmack. We are going to try and record songs between it all and then all we have to do is hit the recording studio and get it done.

 


TM - What was the first band you saw live and can you tell us a story?

 


CJ - The first band I saw live was Ratt and Bon Jovi was opening for them. No one knew who Bon Jovi were and everyone was like who is this band opening for Ratt and They blew up. We will be playing around six nights a week and any night I have off I try and go and see a band play. We just did a seven week long tour just before Christmas when i got back Testament was playing and They are one of my favourite bands, and the night I got home from the tour I got in my car to go straight to Testament.

 


TM - If you could have any band play one of your songs what band would it be, what song would it be and would it be in your style or their style?
 

 

CJ - Post Malone doing Let The Bodies Hit The Floor in his style or Ed Sheeran doing Feel Like I Do.
 

 

TM - That would be cool. Is there anything else you want to say to your fans?

 

CJ - I appreciate everybody sticking with us we have had a variety of singers and everyone that we have worked with has been amazing to work with. come to our show and come and meet us, we will try and come out to the crowd, if you see me come and talk to me, I would love to hear from you about our music.

 

TM - Thank you for having this interview with us today we appreciate it.

 

CJ - Thank you.
