Alternative rock/metal band Drowning Pool rocked countless fans at the 2001 Ozzfest Tour, helping propel their debut album Sinner to platinum status in just six weeks. That good news shortly turned tragic following the death of lead singer Dave Williams, but the ever-resilient Drowning Pool has continued to sell tickets under a revolving list of singers, including Jason Jones (2003-2005), Ryan McCombs (2005-2011) and Jasen Moreno (2011-Present). The band is considered one of the best metal bands in concert and have played on multiple Ozzfest Tours. They released their fifth studio album, "Resilience," with new singer Moreno in 2013. "Resilience" features "In Memory Of..." dedicated to the late singer Williams and released on the 10th anniversary of his death, as well as "Saturday Night" and "One Finger and a Fist," which both will be popular at upcoming shows.
Drowning Pool formed in Dallas, Texas, in the second half of the 1990s with guitarist C.J. Pierce, bassist Stevie Benton and drummer Mike Luce. After releasing the platinum-selling "Sinner," Drowning Pool recorded one album with Jason Jones ("Desensitized") before doing two recordings ("Full Circle" and "Drowning Pool") with McCombs. After McCombs decided to rejoin SOiL (who he previously recorded and played with), Drowning Pool connected with Moreno, who joined the band on the road and in-studio in New Jersey for the recording of "Resilience." Drowning Pool is a band that continues to overcome incredible and sometimes horrific obstacles, such as the death of singer Dave Williams; yet they continue to trend forward and serve as one of modern rock's best live acts.
I always buy tickets to Drowning Pool when they come to Fort wayne, they are always thankful and grateful of their fans and put on an amazing show...The other bands at this concert got the crowd going and put on a good show as well!
Drowning Pool never disappoints. By far on of my favorite bands.
I've never seen a better show in my life all these bands were amazing but Drowning Pool was fantastic they really brought it!! Best night of my life!! I will never forget it!!:)
I've seen Drowning Pool several times, at this venue and others. They always play hard and bring their best. The only reason I didn't give this show five stars is because of the venue, 8 Seconds Saloon. They jam so many bands into the evening that you end up sitting around for half the night waiting for the headliner. This show included one local band, Spanky's Clubhouse, that you can see in town any weekend, a newer band I wasn't familiar with, Static something or other, Trust Company, Anew Revolution and Pop Evil. I'm not opposed to getting value for my dollar, but 5 opening bands is a bit much. Drowning Pool didn't take the stage until after 11:30 p.m. Just because we like to rock hard, doesn't mean we don't have day jobs.
OMG! You guys were awesome! We brought our 13, 14 & 15 years old sons for their first indoor concert and rocked the place! Thank you ,thank you, thank you :)
Everything about this event was outstanding. I liked their lyrics, all of the screaming, the cosmopolitan group of people who are the group's hard core fans, the dancing, etc. Bring 'em back soon, please. My favorite moment: There was a large body-builder guy standing next to me during the performance who had a big walking stick. The only thing he said/yelled repeatedly, while pounding his stick on the floor, was "I am Horny Man." All of the young ladies loved him.
Great band,high energy show, Got to meet them, nice guys. I was impressed at how tight they are as a band,they really rocked the little Bluebird,The best was the impromptu encore,the cover of Cowboys from Hell, Rocked. Small show are often the best to get a personal feel for the music and the band. Rock on, Ant
I saw Drowning Pool in perform at Wasted Space at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. It is a small venue with standing room only. Tickets were less than $20.00 pp. Great music and they put on a rocking performance. Would love to see them again.
Drowning Pool rocked, except for the little 5 year old antics at the end by McCombs. What a big baby!
I drove 2hrs with a friend of mine to go see Drowning Pool down at Piere's! They were definately worth what I paid to see them!! At the very end they asked the crowd what we wanted to hear, (after they played bodies) CJ was playing different songs from Various artists, I screamed out Pantera, the rest of the crowd did, AND THEY PLAYED COWBOYS FROM HELL!!!!!! You guys are awesome! Thank you for reaching out to the crazy friends and family!!!!! You guys are definately about the fans! This was also my first time seeing them, long time fan, first time to see them and it was just unbelieveable. Thanks again You guys Rock!
This show was just completely amazing. My wife son and I had a very exciting time. What a great event for my son(this was his first live show).
drowning pool kicked ass they put such a goood show!!!!!!
Not much energy for the openers but when Drowning Pool the stage, that was it. Ended with emotion tribute to fallen singer Dave Williams and you could've guessed that it ended with a venue shaking finale with "Bodies"
Starland Ballroom is in the middle of nowhere but it's a nice venue. Clean, friendly, plenty of bathrooms and a full bar. Drowning Pool was awesome. They don't just play the songs, they put on a show. Lead singer Ryan McCombs really got the crowd going and everyone had a great time. There where enough people to get a good rowdy vibe going but everyone was playing nice. Had a great time and will defiantly see this band again. Also saw that some other good bands are playing there soon like Five Finger Death Punch.
A real rocking night, topped off with a really energetic show by Drowning Pool. Their setlist kept me interested winding through all the years of Drowning Pool's songs, and throwing in a few covers DP style. Overall a good night and cool venue that allowed for the intamacy between the fans and musicians that made it worthwile.
I saw Drowning Pool this past Sunday. Well worth the hour drive. They played a blistering set and even thru in a nice suprise at the end. Definately check them out.
i had an amazing time watching the bands that performed. i really enjoyed stikken even though i had never heard of them before.
