Adam Jones is so underrated as a guitarist IMO. He is so creative and can come up with sounds that aren’t equally duplicated by others. His playing is on another level and is so unique. He’s another Jeff Beck in the way he plays and comes up with new ideas and styles simply unmatched.
I'd agree. He's one of those players that isn't a virtuoso. But he's so unique the effect he has on the listener is very similar. His bag of tricks are really inventive.
I like to believe he plays a character on stage. Looking always very serious and far away. In Berlin he broke character and laughed when he was on his keyboard. The guy is fucking cool.
yeah, can't dance along pedals wizzardry, most people dont realise that he plays with 3 limbs in parallel :P (i have a bad feeling about followup comments)
Seen them 6 times in my life every time I listen I hear something new from him he has probably influenced me the most in my own playing than any other guitarist
I went through my teenage years and early twenties in the 90s, so most of the concerts I've attended were in the 90s and 2000s. There was a noticeable change in how bands mixed their live sound during the mid-late 90s. Rock concerts were always loud, but then in the 90s there was a big shift in the focus to the bottom-end. Guitar players were tuning down, bass players were going to five and six string basses and the kick drum was featured more prominently in the mix. The result, on average, was shitty sound quality. Sure, the more successful bands could afford great equipment, but the low to mid-level tier bands usually sounded like shit. It didn't help that this was when scooped mids became popular with guitar players, and while it gives high gain a really tight crunch for rhythm playing, it can't cut through for solos. Add to this that most of the bands I saw were playing festivals, being just one of maybe a dozen acts that are going to be sharing the stage. The result being that it doesn't afford a band as much control over the sound as they would playing their own show. I remember seeing Tool for the first time at Ozzfest in 98. Of course the songs and performances were great, as they always are with Tool, but just like everyone else they were hard to hear at points. That was one of the last concerts I would see for a number of years. Fortunately, it was a few pairs of Tool tickets for the long sold-out show in Boston that ended my concert sabbatical. The car dealership I worked at advertised heavily on one of the rock stations, so they were able to get tickets. I hadn't even known that were playing until I hear them mention the shows that were happening later that week. I was kind of held joking when I asked if they could score tickets, imagine my surprise when he told me to hang on and came back from his office with a pair of tickets for the first show AND got a couple nights later down in Providence. I brought my brother and remember mentioning that it's too bad our ear drums would likely rupture two songs into the set and so we won't be able to hear the rest. When they came on however, the sound was literally jaw dropping. It was loud, but more akin to cranking the stereo at home when a good song comes on that the total attack on the senses it had been at concerts past. But the f'cking mix…! Every instrument sounded exactly like it did on the album. You could hear Maynard's inhalations before belting out a line, and the squeak of Adam Jones' fingertip as it slid up the fretboard. But what I distinctly remember is how I could hear Chamberlain's pick coming into contact with the string right before he played it. The band was crystal clear, it was as close to sounding like headphones as any live performance could achieve.
Where the rhythm section normally accompanies the guitars, I always felt in Tool it was vice versa with Adam supporting Justin and Danny. His use of leaving gaps allows them to fill in and it makes the songs sound gigantic as a result.
Ik im three months late but I think he plays a character on stage, where he’s like motionless and very intimidating. I’ve seen interviews where he’s cracking a smile and laughing and talking passionately about what he’s interested in
@@Ottophil okay so that would be a rich noisy man or would that be a noisy rich man.... And for the record I like the sound of crickets and birds when I go to sleep.... You will not be happy when you get tinnitus when you're older
I saw them a couple of weeks back and it was the best gig i've ever been to. I'd say that Adam Jones isn't the most animated musician in the world but I think most people who like the band don't give a shit about that. His riffs/tone generally, the music as a whole and the visuals/light show tie it all together.

David Gilmore stated Third Eye is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.
Where? @@brandontourigny6384
Everyone just throws underrated around. He is not. Everyone in the band is respected and considered one of the best in their fields.
@@brandontourigny6384if that’s not the biggest lie I’ve read
Does this mean we're getting a rig rundown soon? I will cry if Justin isn't included
Did you see the rundown? It was one for the record books
That Gibson V with the Moderne' headstock is crazy.
really hope they make a more affordable gibson/epiphone model than spending 20k on the artist one. beautiful guitar though
I thought it was a Dean guitar at first.
That‘s an A not a V 🙃
@@ANiCKiN
Don't be that guy. Proper name is "Flying V"
@@michaelcordero5588 A for Adam :X
Adam is always so serious while playing, like the John Entwistle of guitar 😅
Naw…. As an artist myself, he’s ’in the zone’ (concentrating) lol.
@@gummotheclown4388no yeah I understand that

@@ANiCKiN I like Adam’s smile ☺️❤️
King of the ‘79 Silverburst phenomenon. A casual fan but a mega force band.
Saw them for both the Lateralus and 10,000 Days tours back in the day. I really miss them and hope I get the opportunity to take my son to see them.
Great tours
My favorite guitarist of all time. 🫡
Seen them 6 times in my life every time I listen I hear something new from him he has probably influenced me the most in my own playing than any other guitarist
My favorite guitarist of all time.
the goat! please tell me you asked him for a rig run down and he said yes 🤞
I always forget about how good he is!
I finally got to see them. It seems every time I tried to see them something came up 1999 it happened. Spokane was the place i saw these f'ers. 🤘
🔥Absolute Perfection🔥
He’s so cool. 😎
Phaser and serious sustain and delay. Awesome. Prog Edge.
Flanger. But it is a really cool spacey monster sci-fi sound 😊
Prog makes me edge
@@Drummer_Boy7Disgusting bruh.
@@jimmyellis7951ya for a long time I always thought phaser up until recently
Fave guitarist of all time. Unique, subtle and a total badass 🔥🔥🔥🔥
TOOL...BEST...BAND....EVER, EVER WILL BE
I like how his picking is so precise

Same experience here. Concerts aren't as loud anymore and mixed way better, even small ones. Those shows must have crushed!

Effortless. 🤘🎸🤘
That delay is intense
Sometime in 1989, probably…
Soundgarden: hey Adam what’s up?
Adam: you guys ever hear of drop tuning?
The Gibson is sooooo good lookin'
That v looks dope af cool to see him playing something other than Les paul
Knowledge not widespread but the iconic “V” whilst flanked by a brace of Marshall stacks has the unique ability to teleport the player to Valhalla.
Adam Johns is Awesome. Totally Bitchin
I wish I could make pickscrapes sound like that.
we got Justin, common premier guitar im sure you'll be able to get Adam
A rig run down , will be amazing .
Shout out Danny back there just doin his thing 💪
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds good don't listen to them but like this 🎸 what the name of the song
Stinkfist.
yep!@@vetlerradio
@@vetlerradio thanks just realized it was a the bottom of screen 🙂
He owes a debt to the Edge -
everyone does. calm down. lol
You’re right. I should’ve delayyyyyyeeeeddd.
Hell Yrah
Dean guitar should sue Gibson for that headstock ;)
Hah! I doubt it
I love Tool a lot but does Adam even have a pulse.....?
Ik im three months late but I think he plays a character on stage, where he’s like motionless and very intimidating. I’ve seen interviews where he’s cracking a smile and laughing and talking passionately about what he’s interested in
Seether ripped off that guitar riff with the "Let you down" song.
So thats going to be the new AJ sig. Gibson? 50’s style headstock? 8k? 10k?
$10k for custom shop. $30k for Murphy lab. 😂
Whatbis that V?
Dean should sue Gibson for that headstock.
Gibson did those kinds of headstocks before Dean were sperm…..
This is the original headstock used by Gibson on explorers and flying vs
@@jonholland6067thats the joke hes making. Dean are the ones that rip off gibson, not the other way around
They take playing a 2 note song to a whole nother level.
Listen I’ve said this long enough, the music is stolen it isn’t them it’s not their music.
🤌
Awesome guitar play, but looks boring just standing there.
Noise
Glad you enjoyed it
Completely clueless
Noise made by a rich man. Keep that in mind when you go to sleep on your “real music” bed
@@Ottophil okay so that would be a rich noisy man or would that be a noisy rich man.... And for the record I like the sound of crickets and birds when I go to sleep.... You will not be happy when you get tinnitus when you're older
