Jason Jones (singer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jason "Gong" Jones, originally a tattoo artist from Los Angeles, California, has been the frontman and vocalist of metal band Drowning Pool from 2002 to 2005, including their album Desensitized (2004).
[edit] Overview
In 2002, Jason Jones was recruited by Texas-based metal band Drowning Pool (at the time C. J. Pierce, Stevie Benton, and Mike Luce) after the loss of their original frontman Dave Williams, who died of a heart condition while on the Ozzfest tour.
Jones took the position as the band's frontman from 2003 to 2005. In that time period, he helped the band record their second full-length album Desensitized (2004), which brought hit songs such as "Step Up" (used as the main song for the motion picture The Punisher), and the minor hits "Love and War" and "Killin' Me".
In 2005, Jones left the band due to musical differences and personal reasons.
Lately, he has been linked to the Christian rock band AM Conspiracy. Jones has remained out of the public's eye ever since his departure from his former band.
