They're in synch with the metal crowd, but how much do Drowning Pool know about Justin?
Some Ozzfest bands spend their downtime playing their heavy metal version of horseshoes--e.g., tossing lunch meat onto the willing buttocks of thong-clad nubiles with low self-esteem. But on this sweltering August day, the members of Dallas-based Drowning pool, flush with the success of their top 15 album, Sinner, have opted-- with a bit of prompting--to gather in their tour bus to play the 'N Sync backstage pass board game. Drummer Mike Luce has a request: "Can we lock the door so no other bands come in?" Sure thing, pal. Especially considering that menacing "let the bodies hit the floor" chorus of your current hit single, "Bodies" (which was just optioned by the WWF as a theme).

"I want to be Justin Timberlake,"says guitarist C.J. pierce, spinning the game's wheel. "I want to beat him senseless so I can f--- Britney Spears," says vocalist Dave Williams. The game is somewhat like Monopoly except that, instead of money, players collect little cardboard 'N Sync cutouts after correctly answering trivia questions about the band. First one to snag all five 'N Sync-ers wins.

Pierce has landed his piece on Lance. Williams presents a question: "Lance has a superstition that he must do what while crossing railroad tracks in a car: (A) pick up his feet; (B) close his eyes; (C) hum until he's passed them." "I'm gonna go with A," says Pierce. Kee-rect!

"Aw, man, I think Lance is the one I like least," says Pierce. "The little sonofabitch has a movie coming out this year," says Williams. "He's gonna make more money than the rest of the f---ing band, the little s---."

Not that Drowning Pool--the fourth member is bassist Stevie Benton-- are exactly high and dry themselves. After one indie album in 1999, they signed with Creed's label, Wind-up, and would up hitting pay dirt. "If he can hook our parents up with houses, well, that'd be kickass," says Williams.

And speaking of kicking ass, Luce, who's collected three 'N Sync figures before the game devolves into a vicious 'n Sync roast, is judged the nominal victor. As things break up, Williams inspects the board: "Hey, can we keep this?" he asks. "We wanna destroy it onstage at the next Ozzfest." 'n Sync effigies ripped to shreds and tossed into the mosh pit--let the pieces hit the floor.
