Adam is an amazing person. I had the honor of being a technician on the north American 10000 days tour. These guys are some of the hardest working true musical artists not only now, but in history.
IMO, I think its possible he can shred but chooses not to as he stated. It's all been done and redone again now. From your personal perspective, do you think it's true? Have you ever heard him jamming some crazy scales?
@@smmacktalk I take it back. They probably are up there with the hardest workers at their craft. I’d say Hendrix was the hardest working guitarist in history. Wasn’t tryna hate.
Skill creates luck. I forget how the saying goes, but basically the more you practice & hone your skills at anything, luck is a by product of hard work
Not as cool as your story but right before Covid I saw them in San Diego and at the end of the show I pointed at him and he pointed back at me! Such a cool connection. I smiled for like three days straight.
I knew it. I knew even TOOL members get mesmerized by Danny's drumming. I swear, the man's an alien. Sometimes it really feels like, there are 2 drummers playing on the track, but it's just Danny Carey being the best drummer on the planet.
Danny says himself he has to summon the drummer gods, before his shows. They won an award recently, like a metal award, ironically lol but yea that's what he said.
I've been a Tool fan for decades, like most people. But I've never actually listened to an interview with any of them. And I always had it in my head that they were aloof and disinterested people. Their music is so intricate, so rare, that's the impression I got. But Adam Jones is such a sweet sounding guy!
Mostly just Maynard that was aloof and disinterested in the majority of interviews at least in the late 90s/early 00s, though he’s lightened up a lot in recent years.
Met Adam in Auckland last week - he was lost outside our hotel - had a good ten minute chat on things, super nice guy, so much respect for him to take the time ..
@@reemajanvekar I'm so sorry you missed them. I saw them in November and it was spectacular. I have tickets to see them at the end of this month, but sadly the show has been postponed due to the Covid-19 madness. I don't know if they'll go back to New Zealand or Austrailia. I hope they do so you could experience this amazing tour.
Met him in person in SLC as he was going in for soundcheck. He was super cool, humble and gracious as my brother and I talked to him for a couple minutes and got pics with him. Then he asked me to take pics of him in front of their banner with HIS phone, and he did a bunch of funny poses. He thanked us both for coming to the show later that night and hoped we would have a good time. So cool to meet a musical hero, and find out they are the opposite of a douchebag!
Meet him is Tulsa at my hotel bar. I felt so awful for bugging him, he was trying to get some food I think. He was totally cool, shook my hand and I got a pic w him. Called him Mr Jones and said I was sorry for bugging you. He said nice to meet you to man no problem. Fuckin humble dude.
A JW I met Justin Chancellor two months ago at a red light. He was in the passenger seat, I walked up to him and asked to shake his hand and take a photo. He was super nice and friendly and he gave me a copy of their new cd. Even offered me tickets to their show because I told him they sold out before I could get any. Awesome guy
Yeah, those three dudes (Adam, Justin and Danny) seem to be pretty approachable. I haven't met any of them, but I get that vibe. Although a couple of sources have said Danny is not big fan on taking pictures. But I think Maynard is a whole different ball game.
Jamie Craighead Lmao yes. Maynard can have all the talent in the world but when it comes to meeting him in person I think you’ll have a real hard time lol. He’s Maynard for a reason.
Yeah my buddy ran into Adam at a comic book store before their gig last year. He said Adam was waiting on an Uber from the comic book store to the gig 😂 these guys are just top notch down to earth dudes.
One thing I love about Tool is that the whole band has the sensibility of artists, like painters or sculptors. Everything they make feels like it could be part of a heavy metal gallery opening. It all feels so experimental and thematic, with both surface and deeper meanings. Rhythm, harmony, polymeter, distortion, compression...everything is done in the service of the song, and everything feels purposeful. And the live shows are just mesmerizing.
The main reason I like TOOL is because the only reason they are better live than the album is the music is louder. Best live band I've seen in over 350 live concerts.
I've been playing 🎸 18 years and I'll never stop because of men like you Adam. Your my biggest influence. I'll be an old man in my garage jamming to Tool tunes....
No disrespect to you or Pink Floyd but, Tool is way better. I love all the classics but Tool is the baby of everything that came before it and, at this point, they are the ones. They got the hearts of all the best human beings and still reaching...
I saw Tool in Pittsburgh. As soon as they were done the singer quickly left the stage, but the musicians took their time and went to all three sides of the stage and took time to thank the audience. Adam Jones is a class act.
Me too. Turns out he was just interviewed by Chris Jericho. Love the interview though. Adam Jones is so down to earth, funny and charming. People have always spoke about what a good guy he is. It's true. Awesome dude.
That’s one of my favorite songs on the album. Seeing them tonight in Jersey, then Tuesday in Brooklyn. Can not fucking wait!!! Tonight will only be my second time seeing them.
I’ve been lucky enough to meet Adam a few times here in Australia. Absolute legend of a guy, was a very humbling experience that someone part of something as iconic as tool could be so down to earth
Wow. Seems like a very cool guy. Wish they did more to put themselves out there. Its great to see this side of them. I obviously respect their wishes not to.
Because you got to soak their new album up, LIVE!! Hands down, best album yet. Certainly the ONLY band I can say, has improved with every single album.
For as secretive / distant as the Tool members had been for so long, it kind of blows me away when I hear interviews like this these days. Adam seems like such a kind & humble person.
Adam, Justin and Danny seem like the nicest guys you could possibly meet. Maynard seems to be a bit harder work but I'm sure he has his loving moments also. I just love listening to their work. I wasn't able to sleep tonight so I just threw on Fear Inoculum and lay in bed with my headphones on. It sort of defeated the purpose, because here I am now out of bed looking up Tool related videos when I should be fast asleep!
Casually dropping the coolest fact of all time. "Yeah, I'm an artist, made the dinosaurs for one of the best films ever made and play in one of the best bands of all time :)"
My local guitar repair shop has been working on Adams guitars for 30 years he told me that Adam comes off as nerdy and Geeky Very down to earth and not conceited at all
I didn’t realize how much my guitar writing was influenced by Jones until a buddy of mine told me my playing sounded very similar to tool,such an inspirational,humble guy,thank you for your art Adam!
I love hearing stories like this. I laughed way too hard when he was talking about the reaction Danny had when they would constantly pester him to jam with them. "Alright, I'll do it this one time". 😄 🤣 😂
Adam, this jas been an awesome and enlightening pod cast. Your intellect and humilty blows me away just as much as the collective of Tool and your awesome musical writing, playing, and artistry. Thank you!
Its really humbling to hear someone who could just showboat and float the interview with boasts of phenomenal experiences only the notorious could attain, in the must human way, explain how important it is to acknowledge one another and to cherish his status with an attitude which is more "well, when I was doing this I met these people who were different but I totally respected them even though it wasn't my thing - what happened next was so crazy and weird. Right? " as supposed to "I did that! and than I did that! isn't my former ambition and subsequent accomplishment something to be marvelled at!?"
@@ericisner8967 well, sacrifice a chicken&make love to a wiccan(that's my way of saying hells bells etc) thank you, earnestly. That's about the nicest response ive ever received on youtube
You don’t see amazing bands like that anymore. All members of the band seem like stand up dudes. Very awesome individuals. Can’t wait to see you guys for the fourth time in Houston.
The followers of Adam and his three mates, Danny, Justin and Maynard value them immensley, I think. No other band, "gives of themselves", as Tool does. I have followed these four great men of music and poetry since 1991. For me, Tool and Deep Purple give me 'power', in a spiritual sense. They help me, 'chin-up' and push-on. I'm 64 years old, a bust-up, cut-up, former hard-rock tin miner. I do not offer praise easily, nor do I expect it unless earned. Hard rock makes hard men, so 'they' say. "BS", says I. I thoroughly respect these men.
Yeah, TOOL made it this far because all four of them are humble and mature. Just reflect on how many rockstars and bands are dead. But TOOL made it ... even with the slow turn out of albums, they are still ALIVE .... sobriety is good (not that theyre all sober, but they arent addicts obviously..)
The more of these interviews I watch the more I get to know these guys and the more I love TOOL. I wonder if Adam's friend Tom is any relation to the late, great Joe Morello of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Just finished reading Geezer Butler's book Into The Void, just loved it. I laughed, I cried. Geezer writes about sacrificing so much for the art, it really is interesting to hear Adam express the same sentiment.
He seems like such a different person from that interview he did in 94 when he basically said he hated fans coming up to talk to him and would lie about his 79’ silverburst just so they’d fuck off, and also talked about hating metal. Now, he loves when fans talk to him, and admits he loved metal growing up. Don’t get me wrong I’m not judging him, I think we all go through that kind of phase in our lives. I just think it’s funny to see it come full circle. Adam seems like a really cool guy.

Noway? That’s awesome. I would love to hear some stories! Are you still a tech these days?
Nothing lucky about it Adam. Your success is the result of genius level talent combined with hard work and you deserve it.
always an amount of luck involved no matter how much of a master of your craft you are
Absolutely! He is at the top of his craft along with all of Tool. Greatest music group of all time. Full stop.
This. ❤
I agree. There’s luck involved in some bands being famous but they are a band that just is that incredible.
Skill creates luck. I forget how the saying goes, but basically the more you practice & hone your skills at anything, luck is a by product of hard work
Hands down most underrated guitarist ever!
I’d agree, but in the past. Not anymore. He’s on mount Rush of guitar players now
He sets the tone... Literally
Met him in comic book store in NYC. Very cool. He actually came over to me. He liked my tshirt
What was your t-shirt?
Yeah, what shirt did you have?
@@nuke97 a Puscifer shirt
I'd have shat in my breeches.

Danny says himself he has to summon the drummer gods, before his shows. They won an award recently, like a metal award, ironically lol but yea that's what he said.
@@sussybaka551 I think he summons them to teach them how to drum

His gratitude. Humble nature and the love of what he’s doing makes him one of my favorite people on earth. Thank YOU Adam. ❤️
You call tell by his tone of voice that he genuinely cares about the person or people he's talking to
I love the fact that the members of my favorite band are all so humble and good people.

Same here... Oh well.
Damn, me too.
same
Just saw both Toronto shows earlier this week.
Absolutely unbelievable. I’ve seen them 12 times and they’re as good as ever.
Damn, 12 times? That’s pretty awesome. I don’t even think I’ve seen Les Claypool solo or with Primus that many times....or maybe I have.
The 11th in Toronto was my 13th time! Descending was absolutely mind blowing live!
That’s one of my favorite songs on the album. Seeing them tonight in Jersey, then Tuesday in Brooklyn. Can not fucking wait!!! Tonight will only be my second time seeing them.
T00L H yes it was. 👍
I'm going to Fresno. 01/15/2020.
Best way for me and the wife to kick the year off. I'm guessing it's a good sign.

Saw them in Spokane on the 9th. So beautiful. So spiritual. Be in the moment, best show I have ever seen, even out of the 3 times I've seen tool
Because you got to soak their new album up, LIVE!! Hands down, best album yet. Certainly the ONLY band I can say, has improved with every single album.
My brother and i are years apart and we don't have much in common. But we can talk about Tool for hours.
Tool helped me really connect with my dad. Was his favorite band, now it’s mine too
This guy is a true down to earth Class Act . What a HUMBLE person, and his talent is astounding
He seems so open and warm in this conversation. A little unexpected, even. Great interview.

Right on!
It's going to be cooler then cool! Be prepared to have your third eye pried open!
no matter how many come and go, or how many years go by...you'll always remember your first ;) have fun homie!

I remember him giving me pointers on filmmaking way back on MySpace
That’s dope dude
Adam is great friends with Buzz and Dale from the Melvins.Would be awesome to chill with that trio.
adam jones man how can someone be so chill lmao so down to earth :)

Awesome history lesson from Adam, been a Tool fan since 1996, lot's of the references make sense. Great podcast, thanks.
Sounds like he doesn't take it for granted and works hard! What a great artist!
what a chilll dude
