(antiMusic) Drowning Pool's new CD 'Full Circle' hits stores this week and to celebrate we have asked frontman Ryan McCombs to tell us a little bit about his favorite five songs from the CD. Here is Ryan with his take on the track "Reason I'm Alive".Definitely the highlight of making this record. The band and I had some time between submitting the album-tracks and the mixer becoming available. When the opportunity arose to head out to L.A. and collaborate with Nikki Sixx and DJ Ashba at Funny Farm Studios we knew this was a no-brainer if there ever has been one. We ended up recording this track and a second one that Gunner Sixx appeared on but "Reason I'm Alive" was the only one that made the record. To be honest the 2nd track was also one of my favorites but I just blew on the vocals. I'm looking forward to re-do the vocals for the next album. It was awesome sitting with Nikki and DJ working out the different parts of the tracks. It felt so effortless that I sometimes lost track of who I was working with. Then all of a sudden I'd realize that we're tossing ideas around with Nikki friggen Sixx and think " I hope someone has a camera on them!".
These two tracks also exemplify the talent and dedication of DP band members. They jump on a plain to work with guys they have never worked with before having only three days to knock their parts out of the park, and they do. This was yet another moment since joining DP that I realized there is no room for anything but my A-Game with these boys. - Learn more about this new release, as well as their worthy USO efforts for wounded troops, grab tour dates and more here
