Art & Creativity Quote by Adam Jones

"I have a record company starting. It's called Flesh Records and I'm putting together music for porno movies"

About this Quote

There’s a deliberate bait-and-switch in Adam Jones’s line: it scans like a punchline, but it’s really a mission statement in disguise. “Flesh Records” is campy on purpose, an over-literal brand that dares you to flinch. He’s not accidentally choosing the most loaded word possible; he’s stress-testing the listener’s reflexive shame around sex, commerce, and taste. The mention of “porno movies” lands like a cultural tripwire, forcing the audience to decide whether they’re scandalized, amused, or curious.

The subtext is less “I want to make smut” than “I want to make work that’s treated as smut.” Jones is describing a lane where music is functional, atmospheric, and often anonymous - built to drive a bodily response, not critical acclaim. That’s a backdoor way of talking about artistic freedom: if you can score the most stigmatized genre, you can score anything, and you’re implicitly rejecting the rock mythology that every note has to be sacred.

Context matters because Jones comes from a world where provocation is currency and aesthetics are inseparable from discomfort. It reads like an early-career probe: what happens if you talk about sex and production with the same flat professionalism people reserve for “film scoring” or “sound design”? The sentence is blunt, almost clerical, which makes it sharper. He drains the taboo of romance and replaces it with logistics, exposing how much of “offensive” culture is just culture we refuse to discuss plainly.
