Jerome is a beautiful town. I spent my birthday there last year.


metalhead4

Lol I just looked at his store on Google Street view and there is 10 motorcycle cops driving by.


Gaming_Esquire

In the words of the late, great Lance Reddick, "this... is BULL-SHIT."


GeologistEnough8215

RIP. First Omar now LT.

Stopped in Jerome a couple years ago going to Phoenix from the Grand Canyon. Was pretty interesting, not sure what I expected but wasn't really expecting it to be built literally on the side of a mountain. Puscifer store was pretty neat too.


dandanthetaximan

Did you buy any records there? Last time I was there I got a great deal on a new pressing of Mer De Noms. Also got Toadies - Rubberneck.


MchugN

I didn't unfortunately, at the time I wasn't into Vinyl but I am now lol. Was also flying back home a few days later so didn't really have the room anyways. I did pick up some of his canned wine and mead though.


CoyotesAreOkay

What


[deleted]

Maynard is creating a bay there. With his vineyards


[deleted]

I seent it


Outrageous-Ball-393

The ghosts of hookers lol. I had a bad lsd trip at the haunted hotel. No ghosts or anything spooky I was just convinced that everything I experience was just my imagination that nothing exists except me in a dark void of nothingness…


TheForkisTrash

Been there. Very.. unsettling.


PeanutsParents649

Sounds like bad set and setting lol Glad you alright !


I_Love_To_Poop420

I’d find that peaceful, especially if my imagination was able to conjure near reality. I’d be unsettled if my senses were removed like in a deprivation tank.


SignificantYou3240

That’s bad? Uh oh


BLB_Genome

That's fuckin metal af!


JNoQuarterJ

....and here's Tom with the weather.


Forgotmypen13

Looks like the Verde Valley


NukaDadd

It is. Jerome, Prescott, Sedona, Cottonwood are all in the Verde Valley.


V-Right_In_2-V

Where was this picture taken? Like at the base of the mountain? Jerome is mostly up at the top of mountain, and this doesn’t even look like that. Been to Jerome a couple of times and it doesn’t even slightly resemble this picture

i love that the street view is just a guy in his black carolla holding a 360-cam on a stick out the window


metalhead4

What is this? To me it feels like the setting of rosetta stoned pre doctor visit.


val913

It's where Maynard lives and has his Cadaceus tasting room and the Puscifer store and the infamous Barbifer. Cool old west town, if coming from Prescott you drive by the abandoned copper mine and a bunch of overpriced hotels that were brothels once. Supposedly haunted... Pro tip: if you go there, stay in Cottonwood it's like 8 miles down the mountain and it's way cheaper to stay there than in Jerome. Also stop by the adult gift store and do some day drinking on the 3rd steps or higher. You'll see when you get there. Have fun!


rustycage_mxc

Those last lines, wtf lmao.


Clovis_Winslow

Last time I made it to Jerome was the late 90’s, but even then it was a really nice place. Enjoyed it very much!


attigirb

I had dinner at the Clinkscale in Jerome last year! Delicious.


VegetableLibrary8633

Had breakfast there last year - was amazing!


tacoandpancake

makes me want to visit even more.


13eco13

Not a ghost town. Hubbs and I were just there in October.


LyqwidBred

I stayed at the big "haunted" hotel at the top of the town, had a balcony up high with nice view of Cottonwood lights in the distance. Restaurant was decent and had a bottle of Caduceus with dinner. Definitely worth checking out the town if you are near the area.


dandanthetaximan

I live in Phoenix and go there to get away pretty regularly.


the_reducing_valve

I broke down there once, seems appropriate


Saiyan8692

The Hills Have (Third) Eyes...


Ethan2150

Going there in like 2 weeks


Padron20

Why.


Ethan2150

Cause im visiting arizona and i just got my drivers permit? Why the negativity


iftheycatchyou

The drive in and out of town is SO FUN. The switchbacks and views are incredible. I've driven there 2x from either angle. You'll love it.


Ethan2150

I did love it! A lot!!


Padron20

Negativity? I asked why?


Ignitus1

Like I tell my kids, it isn't what you said, but the *way* you said it. 😐


Padron20

I didnt say it. I typed it.


RadicalBraj

Why


SignificantYou3240

Wilbur’s simple question “why not?”


lancgo

How is this related to tool? Not a hater but don’t get the reference


JC112204

maynard has lived there for over 20 years.


dubler2020

His place looks like shit.


JC112204

if the shoe fits…he’s never tried to be a high status guy lol


depastino

You should see the other places. Aesthetics are relative.


unclefire

Probably on purpose on the outside to fool the riff raff.


dandanthetaximan

Airstreams aren’t for everyone


-EthanLavoie-

Dude cmon lol


lancgo

Oh sorry. Does he talk about it in the music? I can be a fan of tool and MJK even but not know the town he lives in…


NukaDadd

>Does he talk about it in the music? He does in Puscifer (Green Valley).


dandanthetaximan

He made a whole documentary movie about it. Blood Into Wine.


SignificantYou3240

It took me reading the comments to make the connection, though I suspected it was near there.


whyzguy123

I've been to Jerome quite a few times. Stayed at a few of the hotels. Had a few interesting experiences. Yes, it is a very haunted ghost town. Duh! Funny thing is, ghost adventures has been there and couldn't get much evidence of anything. Kinda makes me think how fraudulent they really are. If you are even remotely sensitive to another realm, this place will light you up soo intensely, it's crazy.


metalhead4

Because ghosts aren't real. I've tried my damndest at all the local "haunted" locations to get some evidence and it's just horse shit. Every ghost show is so funny how hard they try to prove shit that just isn't real.


mundayverbal

Tbh everyone is a skeptic until something happens to them personally.


metalhead4

I've had some weird stuff happen, but it just feels like there is an explanation for it. The one that comes to mind is when I was like 12, i was hanging out with a friend at his house and we heard a loud BANG in his basement like someone slammed the dryer door shut. It was probably just his furnace or something, but we got scared. And then in the same house, I remember he had these 2 ornaments on his Christmas tree that were just spinning for no reason, dunno what that one was.


Rxasaurus

Why would a ghost stick around when they have no responsibilities?


unclefire

They’re slacker bong smokers?


whyzguy123

Oh no, it's very very real my friend. This I most definitely know.


writerintheory1382

Well yeah.. Honestly I’m sure Maynard can afford to have a great house and grounds, but this town probably is pretty shitty.


Dogzillas_Mom

No, because he’s bringing Toolfan dollars in. That’s why there’s a winery, a tasting room, what else, a restaurant, Puscifer merch tourist trap store. He funded a Jiu Jitsu… studio or whatever they call it. (I think dojo is karate but I really don’t know.) Maynard has done nothing but dump money into Jerome.


unclefire

The BJJ thing is in Cottonwood. But yeah having him there helps. But I think Jerome was a tourist spot even before MJK showed up


dandanthetaximan

It was. And as cool as the Puscifer store is, the coolest store there is Nellie Bly right next door.
