'''Jason "Gong" Jones''', originally a [[tattoo artist]] from [[Los Angeles]], [[California]], was the frontman and vocalist of metal band [[Drowning Pool]] from 2002 to 2005, providing vocals for the band up to the band's 2004 release ''[[Desensitized (Drowning Pool)|Desensitized]]''.
==2002-2005: Drowning Pool==
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 (musician)|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 (Drowning Pool)|Desensitized]]'' (2004), which brought hit songs such as "Step Up" (used for the motion picture ''[[The Punisher (2004 film)|The Punisher]]'' and the theme song for [[WrestleMania XX|WWE WrestleMania XX]]), and the minor hits "Love and War" and "Killin' Me".
In 2005, Jones left the band due to musical differences and personal reasons.
[[Dino Cazares]] had his eye on Jason to form a new band after his own folded but the project never took place.
==2006-Current: AM Conspiracy==
After leaving Drowning Pool, Jones formed the alternative metal group [[AM Conspiracy]]. Jones, along with bandmate Brian Diemar, produced their debut album ''While You were Sleeping'' with Rae DiLeo ([[Filter (band)|Filter]], [[Army of Anyone]]), to be released later this year.
