Zero Tolerance for Silence is a studio album by American jazz guitarist Pat Metheny that was released by Geffen Records label in 1994.

The album was recorded in one day and consists of improvised, solo electric guitar.

The first is that Metheny was upset with Geffen, and as his contract was ending, this was his way of expressing his displeasure.

[6]Griggs's second theory is that Metheny simply made the kind of album he wanted to make.

"[7] The cover of Zero Tolerance for Silence carried an endorsement by Thurston Moore, guitarist for Sonic Youth, who called the album "an incendiary work by an unpredictable master.
