Tool Guitarist Adam Jones On Surfing Hawaii

by The Editors on February 4, 2009

On a trip back to the US after playing Korea with Metallica, Tool’s Adam Jones was in the Honolulu airport when he felt a tap on his shoulder according to an interview in Guitar World’s April 20, 2009 issue.

After we landed, I was getting my luggage and I felt this tap on my shoulder. It was Kirk [Hammett, Metallica’s guitarist], and he said, ‘Are you the guitarist in Tool? I love your band. Would you like to come to dinner?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah!'” . . . “He lent me a long board and took me out to this spot where all the old-timers surf. I’m from California, so I’ve never had to paddle 30 minutes anywhere. [laughs] And you have to go out real far in Waikiki to catch the good waves. My arms were getting so tired, and I was so worried I was gonna look like a pussy!”

We all know the feeling Adam, we just never talk about it.
