Tool guitarist Adam Jones recently revealed the band he would most likely to take on tour. The fans might be surprised after the revelation.
Adam Jones wants Arch Enemy on tour
In an exclusive new interview with Metal Hammer, Jones listed none other than Swedish melodic death metal heavyweights Arch Enemy as the first band that comes to mind when asked who he’d most like Tool to take out on the road with them.
“That’s a loaded question!” he responds. “There are so many! I really like Arch Enemy. That was one that I was really thinking about asking.”
During the interview, Jones also went on to reveal that Tool refuses to use a classic industry model when it comes to picking bands to support the prog metal heavyweights, seeing it as an opportunity to give artists some vital exposure, rather than making a quick money for themselves.
“I mean, a lot of bands that are our level do the industry giveaway, take out a band that will actually pay them for the exposure,” he notes. “We’ve never done that. Never done pay-to-play back in the old Sunset Strip days, and never charged bands that we take out with us. We always pay the bands and ask them ourselves, and we always take out bands that we like.
“We don’t have to look for a band to draw tickets,” he adds, “because we don’t really have a problem doing that, so what we do is we take turns. It’s Dan’s turn so he picks this band, then it’s Justin’s turn and he picks that band, Maynard’s turn and he picks a band. This time it was my turn and I picked Brass Against. I have always really liked them: their energy, their cover songs, their wind section…you don’t really see that anymore.”
Tool are currently on tour in Europe with Brass Against as support, and are due to hit the UK early next week.
