Jones worked on several other films in Hollywood doing makeup and set design, including Jurassic Park, Batman Returns, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Dances with Wolves, and Ghostbusters II. After that, he went to Stan Winston's special effects workshop, where he worked on Predator 2, sculpting a unique-looking skull for the Predator's spaceship interior. He designed and fabricated a Grim Reaper makeup and a zombie head on a spike (later used in Ghostbusters II) among others.

During the next two years, he worked on the TV show Monsters. He graduated in 1987.Īfter graduation, he went to work at Rick Lazzarini's Character Shop. His interest shifted to film, and he began to work as a sculptor and special effects designer, where he learned the stop motion camera techniques he would later apply in Tool's music videos, such as " Sober", " Prison Sex", " Stinkfist", " Ænema", " Schism", " Parabola", and " Vicarious". Jones was offered a film scholarship but declined and chose to move to Los Angeles to study art and sculpture. On July 6, 2013, Jones married painter Korin Faught. Jones never received traditional guitar lessons, but he and Morello learned from each other. According to both of them, the band was quite unpopular at the time. In addition to playing classical music, Jones played bass guitar in the band Electric Sheep, with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine playing guitar, until Jones moved to California (Morello soon followed). He later began to play the double bass in an orchestra. As a child, he had an interest in animation, turning his ideas into three-dimensional sculptures, which explains why Tool's music videos often had 3D-clay effects. He was accepted into the Suzuki program, and continued to play violin through his freshman year in high school. Jones was born in Park Ridge, Illinois and raised in Libertyville, Illinois. Regardless of the hype factor surrounding this instrument, the sales will ultimately depend on pricing, and Gibson Les Pauls have never been known for their affordability, but rather their superb quality.Biography Early years and personal life In no way do these assertions imply that an Adam Jones signature guitar will see sales akin to a Tool album or Tool Arena show, but merely it suggests the guitar could see high sales as it relates to the guitar industry, and also compared to other artist signature models in the rock genre. But secondly, a number of Tool fans are musicians themselves, and while there’s no analytics to show ratio or percentage, the correlation is clear after a simple youtube search of “Tool covers” or “singer/guitarist/vocal reacts to Tool” videos. However, generally there’s always been a high demand for Tool whether it’s in their album sales or concert tickets, so Fear Inoculum didn’t prove anything new in that regard. For one, it’s quite apparent just how dedicated the Tool fanbase are solely based off the band’s last album, Fear Inoculum, in which fans waited over 13 years to experience and ultimately became one of the highest selling albums of 2019. Assuming this guitar sees a wide release, which is still unclear as it could only be a limited run, an Adam Jones signature guitar has the potential to be the next best and most popularized signature guitar on the market, and for a number of reasons.
