Adam Jones

As long as I can remember, growing up we had a guitar around our house, and I was always plucking on it.

We could have gone with much bigger labels and more money, but we wanted to go with a company that is LA based, all in the same building, and really understands what the artists want.

I'm a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we've been in many bands.

I mean, Tool has a style, but we try to make all our songs sound different from each other.

I never thought 'Stairway to Heaven' was a long song. I loved how there was this part and then there was another part that was completely different.

Different people get different things out of the images. It doesn't matter what it's about, all that matters is how it makes you feel.

I seriously do not think Nirvana is grunge.

I think people like Steve Vai are so boring.

I'm not a good guitar player.

I listen to Helmet - and I love Helmet, they're a great band - but every song sounds the same.

That's what I love about our music - it'll never be a hit because you can't dance to it.

I've always dabbled on guitar, but never took lessons.
