Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello has heaped praise on a peer and one-time bandmate, paying tribute to his pal Adam Jones, guitarist in Tool, in a lengthy new Instagram post. Morello and Jones were students and friends at Libertyville High School in Libertyville, Illinois in the 1980s, and even played in a band together at the time.
"Shout out to my old friend Adam Jones!" Morello beams. "Always a tremendously creative and innovative visual artist, Adam was also the bass player and sole talented musician in our high school band, The Electric Sheep. He showed me chords, 'pinch' harmonics, drove us to see Judas Priest at Alpine Valley in his pick up truck for inspiration and was ceaselessly encouraging to me when I was a beginning guitarist.
