Talk:Adam Jones (musician)

message: I'm not sure if this is supposed to go here, but here goes.  I noticed that his pedalboard keeps getting listed as three completely wrong pedals, so I went and fixed it.  I came back to reference it, and it was changed back!  Has anyone else noticed this?

replies: text: Not sure why it's being reverted, it doesn't really bother me though I can see how it could be considered original research. I suspect because none of it is referenced in any way.  If you want to avoid then then personally I'd say the onus is on you to get it referenced properly. hellboy (talk) 09:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Puscifer reference

message: "Adam's playing style consists of his major usage of fifths.???"
Are you kidding me!?! Saying that his playing style consists of his "major usage of fifths" is only slightly less useless than saying its consists of his "ample use of notes". Any musician making any sort of music is going to include the fifth in many, if not most, of the chords they play. If you restrict yourself to "heavier" music, _every_ guitar player plays power chords. This means either a) the root and a fifth. or b) the root, the fifth above it and *gasp* the octave. Holy crap!! That's revolutionary!! Hrm, methinks not so much. But, more importantly, it doesn't give the reader any idea what Adam sounds like. (Of course, the best way to know what he sounds like is to go listen to some Tool.) Adam Jones is no shredding guitar monster, nor is he some kind of six-string savant; What he is, however, is a _musician_ who know how to compliment the rest of his band's sound. And for that, he is to be commended. So, whoever was writing about his playing style. Why don't you cast aside your (I suspect somewhat limited) understanding of music theory and try to describe Adam's sound in terms that actually capture (however limitedly it is possible in words) what makes him worth listening to.
:You make good points.  If you have the time, I invite you to edit this section yourself.  You don't have to create an account to do this, but it doesn't take long to sign up.  Thanks for the note.  hombre de haha 23:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Take a look at the Musical traits section of the Tool article, I have incorporated two short bits about Adam's playing style. The sources I used of course contain a lot more information, I hope it helps.. (won't be doing it myself though since I am still working on the Tool article) Johnnyw talk 09:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

:He probably has done in the past, and still may, but since there's nothing to back this up I've removed the section. hellboy 23:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Divorce 

message: Adam Jones, along with Justin Chancellor, primarily play in drop D tuning on most Tool songs.. as a guitarist this is significant particularly when playing his songs..This is not mentioned in the playing style which is fairly non descript..I feel it is worth mentioning that he is playing almost entirely in drop D..the whole sound and feel of the band has evolved around this tuning..standard tuning is entirely different and is never used by TOOL  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cam01235 (talk • contribs) 17:34, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

message: It says in the article at the moment that the "pipe bomb microphone" "exploded" "injuring 132 fans".
No citation is given, and it sounds like a misinterpreted joke, not least because there's no bomb in a pipe bomb microphone.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.1.191 (talk) 21:04, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I quite agree. I can find no mention of this incident on the internet, and so I must assume it was a joke edit.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.197.89 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

message: there's nowhere near enough about his film-making, either as a career in its own right or as part of tool's output. a bloke in the office here thought 'prison sex' was a Jan Švankmajer, for example.
I'm not seeing anything about his use of keyboards either, yet there's always one near him on stage.
there must be some info out there besides the band's own website, or OR...
