RUFKM13 Stupid Questions with Drowning Pool

A few weeks ago, we were given the opportunity to interview Drowning Pool’s “lead singer of the week” Ryan Mccombs. Drowning Pool is playing at this summer’s Cruefest 2 with previous “13 Stupid Questions” participants Charm City Devils.
However, all the band members look like convicted felons and do not look like they can spell “humor.” Since the writers of RUFKM have two media passes for Cruefest 2 to interview the bands in person, this gave us a bit of pause. Ryan looks like he has at least three felonies and we thought after asking these questions….. we would become number four and five.
- A picture of Ryan blowing himself. You learn to do this in prison.
Nope! This dude has a wicked sense of humor. Now, it should also be noted that Drowning Pool drops their new single/video “Shame” from their album Full Circle today.
You can check it at Youtube HERE.
Also, be sure to come back to the site soon as we are giving away TWO FREE TICKETS TO CRUEFEST 2 AND A CASIO DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA TO TAPE THE EVENT.
No, we are not fucking kidding you. Subscribe to our feed now to keep informed of when this contest starts as subscribing to our feed is one of the qualifiers.
With that said, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERES Ryan!
1. Ryan, You were formally the lead singer of the band Soil, one of the greatest band names of all time. When the band came up with that name, what other ones did you consider? Was one of them Toilet for Animals?
We settled on Soil mainly because the first name we came up with, Severed Penis, left a bad taste in our mouths after awhile.
2. With all respect to the late Dave Williams, Drowning Pool has had three singers since they formed in 1996. When will you be fired and does Drowning Pool offer a pension?
I’m trying to push my firing back until I make enough cash to buy the Hello Kitty bathroom shower curtain, rug, toothbrush holder, soap dish, etc. I tend to dream big so I’m not holding my breath but I’m really going to try to make it till then.
3. In a related note, it seems that when Drowning Pool searches for a new singer, they only take applicants from bands with ridiculous names. Because of this, do you feel threatened because there are some great vocalists in the bands Hot Bag of Cock Juice, Ass Munching Slut Puppies, and the Monkeyfucks?
The reason for this is that only singers in bands named such stupid names would even consider joining this farce of a band. And when speaking of stupid names…when the fuck did the name Drowning Pool become a good name. What the fuck is a Drowning Pool anyway? Oh a movie with Paul Newman in it… Christ!!! When was the last time you saw a Paul Newman movie and thought “timeless fucking classic”…
- Drowning Pool with Obama. Write a song called “Soldiers,” meet the president. Also, Ryan was looking to be pardoned.
4. According to Wikipedia, the U.S. military has used Drowning Pool’s music to inflict music torture upon captured prisoners. While this is a novel idea, don’t you think Hinder would’ve been a better choice?
Sure,.. they might. But lets be honest here. You listen to Bodies for more than 3 times in a row and see how bad you wanna snap your own neck just to hear someone count to 5…
5. What were some of your fears when deciding to join a band
- My fellow Americans, “Bodies” can be used as musical torture, but Hinder’s “Lips of an Angel” is a better choice.
named after an extremely threatening body of water? Also, what is the minimum depth a pool has to have to actually drown someone?
I still don’t get the name so other than feeling dumber for it, I got nothing… Give me an inch of water, lay face down and we’ll see. Mike, our drummer, had a brother that drowned in a pool so why don’t you ask him you insensitive prick.
6. On Cruefest 2, you are playing after rookies Charm City Devils who we recently interviewed. What hazing rituals do you have planned for these unsuspecting clowns? Are you aware that they will have a 20 foot dragon spitting lasers on stage?
A 20 foot dragon spitting lasers aye? is that what those green bastards think their getting. Spinal Tap thought they were getting a life size Stonehenge. Fucks will be lucky if they get a poodle with a bladder infection…
7. Will you come clean and admit that the song “37 Stitches” is simply a rip-off of Jay Z’s “99 Problems” with 62% less effort?
Who?
8. Let’s role play. Drowning Pool is starring in an episode of the1960’s Batman TV show starring the great Adam West. During a fight against the Penguin, several bodies hit the floor. What sound effect would these bodies make? Splat? Kapow? Shazam?
BLAM N!@?A BLAM!!!!
9. “Bodies” was featured in the advertising campaign for Rambo. Besides Sylvester Stallone paying you in Human Growth Hormone, did you receive any other unique benefits?
No
10. Drowning Pool is a sketchy looking cast of characters. We are guessing that the band has a total of seven felony charges and seventeen misdemeanors for noise violations. Are we over or under?
Misdemeanors are for underachievers…. And Boy bands…
11. Besides committing more felonies, what would you be doing if you weren’t gainfully employed (for now) by Drowning Pool?
Gainfully???
- Nothing gets Ryan going like a quick shot of Milli.
That’s bullshit. My warm up consists of Capt. Morgan, A virgin goat, 3 midgets with sausage fingers and party hats. Not for the midgets cause that would be insensitive.
13. Even though we don’t have huge tits, we have been granted backstage passes for Cruefest from our fine promotional efforts for both Drowning Pool and Charm City Devils. When we come up to you and scream “Shenanigans!” what will be your chosen method of attack for subjecting you to these stupid questions?
I’ll let the midgets decide…
Well, done, Ryan. We look forward to meeting you in W. Palm for Cruefest. Make sure you bring the virgin goats.

While I believe in free press and thought the questions and answers were entertaining, if your going to write an article, proper and complete sentence structure should be a prerequisite. Other than that, nicely done.
“A picture of Ryan blowing himself. You learn to do this in prison”….., lawl
Hussey: As much as I agree with your sentiment that the vast majority of writers on this website couldn’t string together a coherent sentence if Jani Lane had a gun to their head, it kind of hurts your judgmental attitude when you used “your” instead of “you’re”.
Point well taken (I tend to do that a lot and every once and a while if I am typing fast and not proofing I have even used “there” when I meant “their” GASP!). I just had to read sentences over more than twice to understand what they wrote and it distracted from my enjoyment of what was otherwise a funny Q&A.
List the actual parts of the article that you had to read twice. It will be a learning experience for everyone involved.
Wow. I did shart myself. I got here from Metal Sludge and this is the funniest thing…. since Metal Sludge in 1999. Solid.
Fuck this site. Nothing but a bunch of posers.
I have to admit tho, this was funny. For posers. Cruefest should be amazing! Did you hear that Duff was added?
However, all the band members look like convicted felons and do not look like they can spell “humor.”
Where was this sentence headed? “However”? I could go on, but I am not a grammar teacher. I just hate being confused as I read.
How can anyone call anyone else a poser, when the person speaking is excited about Cruefest???
