[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@keeelane tool? fuck yes, they rip off melvins/kyuss stuff so badly

[arayablood]

what's the song at the end?

[TheOtium]

Adam is a better player than given credit. Tool's guitar playing is simple to play and distinct sounding; they aren't about solos or speed.

[ExplosiveNutSack]

adam jones is the fucking shit

[ToOlOGT22]

what the fuck happened with the slide at 4:22 i swear it just dissapears

[foodiggler]

[AllYourFriendz]

[rayray0313]

[metallichika]

[Hooklineansinker]

What does Adam use for pickups?

[Lateralus8808]

@Hooklineansinker He uses the pickups of destiny :D

[yale0083]

@Hooklineansinker Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB humbuckers, although he has also been rumoured to use Seymour Duncan Trembucker's occasionally as well.

[theishjort]

adam joned your my hero man damn i love you playing its 10 times more hard to nail than all that fast playing becouse theres so much feeling in the guitar!

[richdanks]

i wish they played the solo where the guitar sounds like its crying.

[DisgustipatedUlaji]

is adam wearing a tunic? are they "night gowns"? .... "knight gowns"... *clips of monty python running through head*. My GOD, train of thought is a wonderful thing. Shine on Adam, thank you for everything.

[xBillyTheKidx]

night gowns? knight gowns? night goat?

[DisgustipatedUlaji]

lol night goat in a good song... always partial to joan of arc though... yeaAAHHH! (key the drums) heh

[JBPURCELL]

COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!

[kingravana]

@xBillyTheKidx this is the best comment evvvurrr.

[metallichika]

@DisgustipatedUlaji i think they're what u call, signature melvin MuMus

[DisgustipatedUlaji]

mumus? lol

[metallichika]

lol idk. there am adam jones fanpage on facebook that had this video up there and i was wondering the same thing and the creator told me they were melvin mumus or something

[Latt87]

i'm sure this is an awesome Alice Cooper song they're playing right? Can't think of the name...

[wassup287]

ballad of dwight frye

[DDYproductions]

Lol not literally 30 seconds ago i was searching for some info on adam's gear and his effects.... I randomly click on this video and here it is in pretty damn plain view! HAHA awesome!

[BassistWithAnEgo]

Flanger, wah, delay, vintage Marshall Superbass head. Have fun with that scavenger hunt :)

[Ozma2112]

KEVIN RUTMANIS on bass.

[MaynardOwns]

this is sick....id love to know whats goin on with adams guitar at the last seconds of the video...seems like he has theback of where the pick up switch is taped...and the center of the back seems almost hollowed out or something?

anyone have any idea what this can be or what effect on his tone it would have?

[DoubleTwister]

There is a plate on the back of the Les Paul. It covers the pots and wires for the tone and volume knobs. Adam modifies all of his guitars by replacing the bridge pick-up. He must have lost the toggle-switches wire cover and had to use tape to substitute.

[painfultone]

i have it paused at the last second... not sure what frame it would be but, it is clearly "ren or stimpy... as for the tape across the pick-up selector switch .... i couldn't tell ya'... but if you find out let me know.

peace

[sjonneh]

stimpy it is...

[macrock25]

Is that Danny on bass???

[youknowyourrite1]

carey? hell no,that guy isn't nearly as tall..

[panikattak14]

HELL NO. Danny Carey is nearly 14 stories tall. He is actually placed 147ft behind the other members of Tool during concerts to make him appear smaller. He also consumes the blood of lions, which he fights with his bare hands in the buff...just for kicks.

[TwiggyJack]

Lol. Even the basketball jerseys he wears seem small on him. Jolly drummin' giant

[Rykarduu]

Justin Chancellor?!?

[melvinizeyrself]

that´s my man Kevin Rutmanis

[hecksoe]

someone comment me the name of this song plz.

[schecterc1lh]

Its a cover, originally done by alice cooper called "the ballad of dwight frye" speliing on frye could be fry though. not sure, but you get the idea.

[Davidsribeiro]

Ballad of dwight fry, original from Alice Cooper.

Rock On!

[metalburger2]

The "box" on his guitar is a roland guitar synth.

[Mirthless79]

JoyGASIM!

[jordan199262]

What's the box on Adam's guitar 0:50? I've been wondering for years and I was under the impression he made it himself; but what's it do?

[PerfectParasite]

Just looks like a bridge cover/guard.

[jordan199262]

I don't think so dude...

[Zerophoenix1]

maybe its a pedal so he can change it without bending over. its what DEVO does.

Might even be and auto harp.

[jordan199262]

I don't know but it's only on that SB.

What's an auto-harp?

[Zerophoenix1]

You might know what it is, cause i dont really know the name of it. something harp.

Its this little thing that vibrates on the string and creates like a violin sound. its really cool.

[jordan199262]

Huh? Sounds cool. I heard he uses a women's shaver for something like that?

[Zerophoenix1]

Really? Thats insanely sick.

Hehe, Ive got a gilette fusion, i might try that.

[jordan199262]

lol I don't know how that works, it's just one of those things that's widely believed that Mr. Jones uses. I think he once had an interview and he mentioned it. I've never tried it lol

[bassist1212]

he uses the ebow and other various womens shavers to get the odd feedback that he is known for in tool

[Janiczek2006]

like the delay solo :)

[Janiczek2006]

but that's some interestin thing how Adam uses the delay

[ToolKid21]

wheres the delay solo?

[BassistWithAnEgo]

What kinda bass is that? I've never seen one like that. I'm especially liking how he's rocking it with a polkadot dress and leather shoes too, lol.

[tigeraven2112]

the head looks like an Ernie Ball Musicman, but ive never seen that model before :S

[liamwri]

sounds a lot better with a second guitar

[ginnungagap3]

what song is this?

[reverenddjanonymous]

The Ballad of Dwight Frye

[rayramis22]

My fav Adam Jones quote

"you could fart on stage and no one will ever know"

from guitar world

[stashJ8]

what is that on adams guitar?

[CynicEidolon]

It's a delay, (as what's been speculated). It's there to make it more accessible when manipulating the settings while playing.

[ginnungagap3]

slide ring man.. not delay.. the delay its the effect hes using

[CynicEidolon]

Yeap. I was wrong. :)

[elusivEuphoria]

3:27

I saw a man.... who was trippin BALLS! Jeez. lol

[TheGeeHak]

Are they rockin Templar gear?

[OfficialLorus]

nope just some pajamas

[TheGeeHak]

Templars pajamas maybe?

[EarlMcCrackin]

Oh damn, and I've seen the Melvins play all of Lysol. If only Adam where there...

[p1nkflo1d]

uhh adam was there

[EarlMcCrackin]

Not in SF.

[heavythinking]

Buzz and Adam have the most amazing guitar sound...

[ellogan]

Yes they do!! Melvins and Tool rocks!

[SuperGiantRock]

awesome vid, thanks for posting!

[seattle94]

great video!

[seattle94]

what is the songs name in 1:08????

[C4V1AR]

Alice Cooper's "ballad of dwight fry"

[ArturLang]

:-D

[ridethespiral23]

its funny that you mention that maynard is a dick, i have a perfect circle tattooed on my left shoulder, a guy that worked stage crew for them came up to me and we started talking about the band, i asked him if he ever said anything to maynard, he said he had talked to him but maynard ignored him. im glade though it was adam and danny i met.....they are the ones with the real talent

[greencage]

people heavily underrated adam jones's role in tool

[ridethespiral23]

in my opinion adam is the biggest contributer to tool he does a lot of art and the amazing guitar riffs. On the other hand people make maynard out to be way more than he is, i find it kinda funny,i always had a feeling the guy was a big ass

[greencage]

yeah.. and dont forget no one directs a music video like adam. he's also in my mind one of the greatest guitar players ever.

[Zeta9966]

Tool is Adam's band... so yea.

[MetalChickenDragon]

as far as how much contribution is put forth, Maynard may not be as important as Adam. but saying people make him to be more than he is, is like saying that about Patton in Faith No More. Maynard is known for his amazing voice and god-like screams

[ridethespiral23]

very true he is talented but there is just something about being able to write music and direct videos that adam has mastered

[Zeta9966]

fuck that shit, Adam is god

[greencage]

yeah adam kicks ass and obviously so does the melvins

[ridethespiral23]

hahaha true that

[ChrisPlugged]

His role? He started it.

[pixulonko]

STIMPYYYY

hahahaha

niiiice

Adam Jones ... godddd!!!

[ichainedalice]

that would be awesome

[SystemAware]

the song sounds like shit. structure is generic and the whole thing is borring.

[vimsven]

After visiting your videos, I have no confidence in your opinion whatsoever.

[SmokinStubs]

Well, you know, these kids tend to like top 40 shit along with their punk rock and Cheap Trick, hahaha. I thought the video was excellent! I havent seen these guys play for years.

[particletheory]

you should then know, this is an Alice cooper song. Its called the ballad of dwight fry.

[ridethespiral23]

Thats awsome you were pretty close to adam. I was lucky enough to meet him and danny at the jazz lakers playoffs they are really down to earth people.

[ChrisPlugged]

Buzz's voice is very strong. Sounds great.

[reissue]

Hell yeah. Hey Adam, you should be a full time member of the Melvins. Seriously.

[jamimbi]

That was Stimpy on the back of Jonesy's guitar...

[dwasdwas1]

Great video and audio quality... 5/5 10/10 15/15 20/20

[dwasdwas1]

What is on the bottom of adam's guitar? Weird effect plate or something.

[dummass01]

its the paint on the guitar. its silverburst. only 400 of the originals were made and they have a unique sound and each one is a one of a kind. adam has like 6 i think or more.

[KILLAGORILLA700]

nope hes got 3! i would sell my leg for one.........

[canem101]

I would truly sell my ass For a Gibson silverburst :P

[jherricurled]

man adam jones guitar tone is just flawless its so sharp sounding

[cellardoor199991]

what year was this recorded?

[vimsven]

I'm guessing 2002-3 ish?

[dwasdwas1]

what's the song?

[wisterV]

" The ballad of Dwight Frye " Alice Cooper.

mlvnz covered it along time ago, 'Lysol', I think.

[eraserhead321]

It was indeed on Lysol my friend.

[diggeraz]

I would have cut off a toe to be at this show,shitdammit!

[Thecorrectopinion]

No, he's just friends with them.

[RubberBandit1015]

though he did help out with several songs, so he kinda unofficially was in the band

[DrDickInYourFace]

naw, he totally did a stint with th melvins

[lsoprimus]

Adams playing a great lead ! and this song is good ! Melvins have been around forever why dont they play bigger venues ?

[vimsven]

They did, they toured with TOOL at arenas throughout the US, etc...

These small shows are gifts...

[cutbankmontanasucks]

What is the thing on Adam's guitar, behind the bridge and everything, some sorta box.

[Kaelan66]

I think it's a Kaoss pad, look it up on youtube

[jacksoncustomshop]

In I think '81, the silverbusrts may have been made with a weird bridge with a locking nut. I have seen a few like it on the internet, but I may be wrong.

[moleman84]

Who is playing bass for the Melvins now?

[badvision666]

Jared Warren, from Big Business.

[bastiaanvanbeek]

perfect combination: Melvins and Tool

[ElGato1983]

what is this song called??????

[simplespiral]

They are covers.. but they are on a rare alum by the Melvins without a title.. commonly known as "boner" though.. its all one track about 33 minutes long. Great album.. great tour this was! :)

[elusivEuphoria]

ADAM HAS STIMPY ON THE BACK OF HIS GUITAR!

coolness.

[NetherNoTwisting]

am I dreaming or the drummer have a gong like Danny Carey ?

[jahshua06]

John Bonham, the drummer of Led Zeppelin used a gong as well, so what?

[SeanRizzo]

there is no god, only the melvins.
