Drowning Pool: An Interview with Mike Luce (continued)

little bit here and there. A few lessons tucked under our belt, but nothing substantial.

You know the Bodies is such a good tune, it just rocks so hard and has such tremendous drive and feeling to it. I dig listening to it. What does “let the bodies hit the floor” mean, does it have any significance?

It’s basically our point of view from the stage watching the crowd when they just start erupting and getting crazy.

Right on, and they do.

Oh yeah, just getting out there and just knocking each other around. You know, don’t get too crazy with it. Help each other up. It’s basically just watching them relieve.

You guys can generate a serious pit.

That’s what we are trying to do.

So do you agree, you mentioned Tool earlier, do you agree with the comparisons that the press is making that your band to say Tool or even Korn, or kind of a mix of that?

You know what to be honest, Tool is, there is no way we could live up to being as bad-ass as they are so I don’t see where anyone can get that comparison, but, I mean that’s not bad company to be in so I’ll definitely except it graciously.   But no, none of us are nowhere near the caliber musicians that they are.

Right on, well Dave Williams, I guess his vocal style has some similarities to Maynard James Keenan that's one of the reasons. He, Dave, really has the ability to deliver some in your face lyrics with a lot of power. I had a question and a thought. Do you think he could pull off a killer ballad?

I think so.

Do you have any acoustic songs recorded?

No we don’t have anything. The only thing we do have that’s acoustic is, we have done ‘Tear Away’ at a couple of radio appearances. We did it in the studio.  A’ la unplugged. We have that somewhere. I don’t even think I’ve ever heard it.

Yeah, that would be cool to have I think.

Yeah, I would definitely like to hear that. Matter of fact that reminds me I wonder what the hell ever happened to that thing.
