Morello: Well, Adam wasn't in the original lineup. There was this one guy who was sort of the principal player in the band-he was the only one in the group with any working knowledge of music-but he quit because he thought that he was far above us. Adam was his replacement. He was playing bass at the time. I was playing guitar. GW: Adam, did you mind playing bass? Jones: Well, I played stand-up bass in the orchestra and I'd play bass with my brother, too. He'd play the guitar parts, and I'd play all the bass parts to Police songs or Fleetwood Mac or Chicago or whatever he was into at the time. I was just so excited to officially be in a band. Of course, I had to borrow a bass because I didn't have one of my own. GW: What was the band called? Jones: The Electric Sheep! We had a pretty heavy rep in Libertyville [Illinois]. Morello: Yeah, we were the bad boys of Midwestern punk. Jones: You know: terrible band, but great to see.
