He probably wanted to add "...its because i have to." To that

This is your Adam on drugs.

Still funny five years later.

Talking sucks. Deep conversation with friends and family is nice. But actors bands and a lot of famous people always seem like they don’t want to be doing interviews.

He is the genius behind Tool

@@kerrvisage3677 he's 1/4 of it yeah

Ya cuz Maynard right out there eh? Wtf

Kerr Visage i often hear ppl argue about who is the most talented out of the group and we all have our opinions cant we just all agree they are the BEST BAND EVER and leave it at that lol i guess if were gunna genuinely debate something this is a killer topic!

Danny means shit to you??

you mean hear a wookie speak yes?

I heard he hates talking.

I want a podcast with Adam & J Mascis.

talking with his mouth

Lmao

He's just a person like u man... A very talented one, but yeah

What Do u do for a living

Yeah had the same in 2019 when they played in Berlin. Looked right at me. I recorded it also

@@carlosdcf8268 has something more to do with the vibe he gives off than star power. Dude's just got an intimidating presence in person

That cover shot of Adam looking at the guitar, he would've felt like taking a bath after watching that

Arcanineisthebest it was the 90's bro,these years were jist weitd angles where u could get sick...hahaha

Arcanineisthebest im a broadcast graduate and i honestly like the angles.

Welcome to the 90’s

@@nick3718 I wish! I'm still mourning them

Big Jones fan but this wasn’t the brightest thing he’s ever said

He’s a guitarist how he talks means shit!!!

Well if I could be both when a guitarist likes the look the feel and sound of a guitar, it makes them want to give it their all. That's how it feels with my Gibson les paul standard.

Thats utter bs... Because Eddie VanHalen, David Gilmour, Gary Moore, name all recognizable guitarists: they would sound as theirselves with a cheap ass Squier guitar. IT IS about the guitarist... Not the guitar.

a good guitar makes you play better. it's that simple!

Lol when I saw that movie I thought "Holy shit that guy looks like Adam Jones!" Unfortunately I think the same when I see my aunt.

Chewbaka cosplay

I think he could play the Abominable Snowman nowadays

@@victorkoropeckyj2771 🤣🤣🤣

yeah I know multiple ppl that play and they all say "the more $ you drop into a guitar, the more they start to play themselves."

@joesl8 You are mistaken, the wood is everything unless you're playing ultra-gain music, in which case the amp rig is everything. That said, it's always gonna be your hands. If you're an intermediate guitar player with, say, an Epiphone Les Paul, you won't become markedly better by buying a Gibson. Those '70's Gibsons ain't nothin' to write home about as a group. I had a '70 Custom and it did sound great for rock/metal but the clean was just OK. A nice Historic RI is way better, but if all you play is gained-out music, you don't need an expensive Historic, a nice LP Traditional will do ya fine. The cleaner you play, the more the wood matters.

@@tyroneshuz what? the wood is just a piece of wood.. the pickup on an electic guitar is a series of permanent magnets with a coil wrapped around them.. if the strings which are ferromagnetic (they have to be) move through the magnets fields they induces a current and this av signal is going to the amp.. the wood does jackshit no matter if clean or distorted/gain/whatever effect.. for acoustic guitars or semi-acoustic ones okay.. shape, wood, volume, etc do matter ofc but for electric guitars and basses they don't.. otherwise we wouldn't use only em pickups for electric while we use piezo, microphones, magnetic and whatnot for acoustic.. and for em pickups the wood really doesn't matter.. they don't care about any resonance in the body of the guitar.. that's not how they work.. i mean you can try yourself and put a piezo pickup on a electric guitar and see how much sound you'll get from it.. that would be the easiest test to see if there is significant resonance from hitting the strings.. otherwise you can ofc also remove the hardware from a given guitar and put it into another one from different wood.. or a shovel for that matter as long as it has a neck the right size because different string length will ofc result in a different sound.. what really matters is the pickups and the other hardware inside the wood (like preamps and such), the amps and the strings..

Dunkelelf3 if that were true putting a PAF in an epi LP would give you a ‘59 LP. Pickups are like microphones. If there’s more signal going in, there’s more coming out. One of my students stripped the finish off his guitar, against my advice, around 1989 or ‘90. I knew this guitar very well. It came alive. Same pickups same height same strings same everything.

@@tyroneshuz dude microphones are used in acoustic guitars.. just google how an em-pickup works.. it's not hard to understand and exactly as mentioned before.. and for your example yes you can just change the entire hardware including pickups that another guitar uses and have close to the same sound as long as we are talking solid body guitars and em pickups and the exact same scale (string length).. i mean sure the string frequency will also transfer to the body and neck and influence the sound slightly because it will influence the strings frequency again in return.. but i would say the difference would be rather miniscule and inaudible for like 99.9% of people.. what really makes the difference is the pickups (and other hardware), the string gauge and strings in general and ofc the amp.. just buy good pickups and you can make a cheap guitar sound good.. change a les pauls pickups for rubbish and it will sound like ass no matter what fancy woods it's made from.. after all electric guitars are made from solid wood to reduce resonance in the first place to have the oscilation where you want it - the string - and not the entire guitar.. so everything that's true for the choice of wood in acoustics doesn't apply for electrics.. woods are choosen for entirely different reasons here.. and yes the best choice is then very hard and dense/heavy wood because it allows for the least resonance and will give you good sustain because softer wood will dampen the oscilation.. but the body resonance does nothing to the pickups which are responsible for the sound.. and now another thing: if the wood would really have significant influence on the tone of an electric you would be able to hear a difference once you touch the body with your hand or put a weight on it or something.. but that is not the case.. do the same for an acoustic and you WILL hear it.. because yes here it does matter.. but for an electric the choice of wood is really for practical reasons and not for sound..

Jambi solo is a perfect example of that, now that you've mentioned it

@@darkySp So is "Lateralus" and most of his leads, really.

LOL. Totally man

+Kevin W. why? is he bad?

I have nothing against Justin though, I think he's great

All accounts I remember said he didn't like his role in the band and was always more a guitar player at heart. As a fan, though, I believe he just wasn't on their level musically.

Agreed :)

" this vampire act is getting old"

ち匚丹尺ㄚ 爪口れち匕モ尺 Clam Metal is a derogatory term used to make a spoof of metalheads. So it could be that he said "clam" but the audio is so poor i can barely tell.

Hes calling it pussy music.

spongebob and squidward metal?

Clam metal is what spongebob likes

I swear I heard that to

Vaughn Santiago Nothing better than a slab of wood with heavy sustain. I never understood those toothpick-thin “shred” guitars

@@svfutbol20 Especially for people like me that just like things to be heavy. They just feel so solid and high quality, when it has some heft to it.

I don't think his underrated his pritty well known and respected for his guitar playing.

As opposed to a pirate? (he said in the interview metalheads look like pirates, and I agree).

Toxic Potato Some DO look like pirates. Just wrap a bandanna on their heads and an eye patch and voila, they could be a part of Jack Sparrow's crew.

I just was thinking that.

And Chewbacca.

Toxic Potato Apparently adam saw about 15 years into the future and saw that Alestorm would be a thing, lmao.

yeah! crazy good guitarist, talented animator and totally gorgeous! definitely one of my favourite musicians

YES!! GORGEOUS BEYOND BELIEF...HIS TEETH ARE SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!!!

@@Nudiescorner I LOVE HIS FUCKING TEETH GOOD GOD

Looks like Chewbacca

Wtf am i reading

Funny because all silverburst have skyrocketed in value since his signature model came out! Cannot find anything under $6,000. His signature models that sold from the store new for $10,000 are at least $22,000.

If i am not mistaken .. adam started the whole thing anyway ..

He is half vampire half alien

yeah, he would have snapped the shit out of the floor. nothing could withstand a heavy ass 79..!

Shakou Storm it's literally the easiest neck to break, the headstock comes right off once it hits the ground lol

@@Kareem_Saad_Al-Deen_ You just described the accident that I had with my epiphone some years ago hahaha.

He would’ve chewed him with one bite

Adam probably would have ripped his arms out of the sockets. Wookies are known to do that.

ok.

Very true... Him and Gary Holt, who is replacing Jeff Hanneman

Yup. So is Jerry Cantrell. One of the most humble and laid back guys ever

Go see Joe Satriani, and after meeting him you'll know . . .

@@scottherzog9359 Satriani was/is awesome 👌🏻👌🏻. A VERY talented guitarist. He was big when I was a young'un and I learn guitar by watching and listening to people play..I'm self taught and don't read sheet music. He used to mesmerise me

Try to see interiviews with John 5 too :)

+Myke Bulvai SPOILER ALERT!

I was thinking he is about the most un-rock looking rock god I've ever seen. I've only recently become interested/obsessed with this band, and I believe it's because of their collective attitude.

HAHAHAHA

recently? ok.

Chewie is his nickname

or they just want to be left alone, and not making a big deal out of things.

which video bro--a time-link of the highlight of the vid would b cool as ="]["=([])=([])=][_=

Jeff Lomeli Pretty funny.

+Tele Vision It's a '79, most likely.

Jeff Lomeli funny, i had a 92 LP and havent ever found one as good. weird.

strange to think that if you bought a 94 LesPaul when this interview was made.... it would now be older that his 79 was then.

moonshine is whiskey that isn't aged at all and it kicks ass,but i know what your saying.

The best thing you could learn from him is how to drive the bus and still retain such a fat pocket, as a rhythm player.

Your right, but too late now, lawyers and greed got it sown up.at least as far as getting your art exposed to more people and you getting the large cut. that's why "making it" in the traditional sense shouldn't be anyones goal.just do what you love ,don't listen to music journalists or industry insiders.King's X are phenomenal,and a few folks know who they are, but they have had zero commercial(earning money..hey,we all have to eat)success,but they still write and perform some stellar songs and are down to earth.

I have a '93 and a '94. Hot. hot, hot!

Yes, Studios.

An outstanding guitar. Don't know if I'll ever hold one in my hands.

And I thought I was going nuts... I have a 2006 SG which has a neck that makes you feel out of this world. My favorite thing to play!

Now he'd just say I have 2016 les paul

great for you son ❤

Finally, a comment that did age well.

***** I wish. However, I did buy the Epi Custom Pro Silverburst. It's between 13-14 Lbs (Jone's is 20 Lbs) - I had never played a guitar so heavy. But it's worth it because it produces a very beefy sound, and the sustain - like Jones says - is the best there is. I wouldn't mind owning a guitar as heavy as the actual LP. Cheers.

***** I just put mine on a scale. It's actually 9 pounds. However, this is what Amazon is claiming it to be: www.amazon.com/Epiphone-Les-Paul-Custom-Pro/dp/B007AGR79O/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1483586376&sr=8-9&keywords=epiphone+les+paul The scale I used is very tiny. It's not a proper tool for measuring guitars. Lol.

***** I know they do. The Gibson LP Custom Pro is listed as a "20Lb guitar" on Amazon. It might actually be 17 Lb, considering that mine is listed as weighing 13 Lb and not 9. Still, I have noticed his back is a little hunched. Just look at any recent live performance and you'll see.

***** You're right. Most LPs are not heavier than 12 Lbs. I was misled terribly. Pardon my inexperience with the imperial units. Lel!

***** It's scheisse, indeed. Lol. Good night.

4DMustang5.0 ™ Oh, the dreams...

+toolcat973 yeah, so deceiving man..

I had a dream where i met maynard and he let me in his house and showed me his bathroom

they are now.

@@thevideosinc No they really aren't. You can buy a vintage 1979 Gibson Les Paul $2000-$3500 in good condition, even a Les Paul Custom. A new 2020 Gibson Les Paul custom is 5K+ a Les Paul Standard is $2500-$3500 brand new out of the box. It is literally cheaper to buy a '79 Les Paul Custom now than a new Les Paul. It was even cheaper back then.

Allagí The Silverbursts are.

Funny how things change, now look at prices of 79’ Silverbursts.

This is the only time I’ve heard anyone say the guitar and not the guitarist

Shifty__ we classical guitarrists agree. You can get as good as possible. And even if you can make consistently good tones, if your guitar is not good then you will not get that enchanting sound

Fucking fact. The far too often repeated fallacy that tone is in the fingers is bullshit. If that's true, why the hell do we put some much emphasis on having different guitars and amps? Equipment is everything.

@@qwertpoiuy430 In Classical playing it's the guitarist and the guitar. But in Electric there are also knobs, pickups, pedals, amps, cabs, mics, so many other things that can compensate for the guitar when needed.
