AM Conspiracy/ ex-Drowning Pool singer Jason "Gong" Jones has revealed his feelings on the split between himself and Drowning Pool in a recent interview with Altitude. His statement is as follows:

"I left DROWNING POOL because I wasn't really getting paid for the work I was doing at all whatsoever and wasn't really happy with the music and definitely wasn't happy with the guys, if you wanna know the honest truth. So, actually, I was off for a moment, I was in Florida and I saw these guys [AM CONSPIRACY] play, and I was like, 'Wow, this is so much fucking better. These guys can actually play their instruments,' and so I jumped in on it, man."

Drowning Pool have responded to Jones's statement, which you can view in the video below:

Not going to lie, that was funny as hell. I mean come on... It's kind of pathetic to talk that way about people who literally bailed you out of jail so you could be in their band.

It's just dumb. I think the response was very fitting.

Well just seeing his face told me a lot about the guy and mostly his stupid laugh at the end. He's a d*** and as far as I am concerned, the guys in drowning pool showed a lot of class and restraint.
