Who is Jim Adams?

Jim Adams born is an American heavy metal guitarist. His is best known for being lead guitarist for thrash metal band Defiance. Joining the band in 1986, Adams quickly became an integral member of the band, co-writing much of their material and playing on all three of their LP's, Product of Society, Void Terra Firma and Beyond Recognition. During his time in Defiance Adams became known for having a wild stage prescense and a highly eccentric personality especially for a metal musician, often doing somewhat out there things such as wearing tie-die shirts on stage. He left the band briefly in 1992 to join the band Indica, but departed to rejoin Defiance. Defiance later evolved into Inner Threshold, which disbanded in the mid-1990s. Adams played in the cover band Fat Freddie's Cat during the late 1990s.

As of 2005 Defiance has reunited, and Adams has rejoined along with Steev Esquivel, Mike Kaufmann and Doug Harrington. Following Harrington's passing Adams is now Defiance's sole guitarist. He had a short lived role as lead guitarist in 2007 for the band Freeload, a more "feel-good" almost jam band oriented type group which also features former Vio-Lence drummer Perry Strickland.
