JUSTIN CHANCELOR (Tool) "Aenima" LESSON - TUTO -- Bassiste Magazine # 71 -

[@Alien_nation]

Tool is one of those bands where nobody is replaceable

[@heisenberg1898]

Paul was replaced by justin.

[@Alien_nation]

Blue Sky yes but Justine has secured that spot since 1996

[@heisenberg1898]

@@Alien_nation you're right he has. But Paul is still remembered. Paul was there in the beginning and a part of creating such a beautiful sound. Gone but not forgotten.

[@Dig1talWizardEyeganism]

Agreed. 👽

[@mmedrano21]

Hiesnburg Yep,l! And their sound was replaced along with him.

[@TechOutAdam]

Tool just wouldn't be the same without him. Some Tool songs ARE Justin in my opinion. As hard as it is for anyone to agree with me on that. This guy is insane.

[@drphalanges1520]

I agree with you wholeheartedly. It's his bass lines and the way they intertwine with Adam's guitars that makes their songs special. No one on this planet sounds quite like they do. They're my favorite band and always will be.

[@justinkline1294]

I can feel you on that. He is like the backbone.

[@BreathFreeAndRemainNameless]

He’s a great bass player. I will admit he sounds a lot like the bassist from New Order.

[@amneenja5720]

IMO danny and justin hold up the band

[@abroZ13]

I feel like with this band, they are all irreplaceable... If you replace Maynard tool wouldn't be the same. If you replace God, I mean Danny Carey tool wouldn't be the same. Same goes for Adam and Justin. They all have a very unique sound and the four of them together is like noting else.

[@morksnerd5359]

He looks like an archeology professor.

[@Guillermohistoriador999]

He is si handsome, reminds me like "Rick Grames" character in last seassons.

[@daddyflip8584]

One of my math professors in college looks just like JC, down to the hair, the beard, AND the suspenders. He was a great teacher; I was a lousy student- got my degree tho. Still there... Len Richardson. Beard's bigger now tho. www.math.lsu.edu/~rich/home.html

Me too

[@peterzelaya9948]

Thats wild. But so damn true

[@minduniverse5260]

This dude is a badass. I was at a Tool concert in 2002 in Denver at the Pepsi Center, and during one of the songs, Justin's strap came off of his bass and he continued to play the entire song holding it up in mid air; he didn't miss a beat. Once the song ended he quickly put the strap back on, but wow. I watched him the entire song. Amazing. And the rest of the show was spot on. Best concert I've ever seen.

[@jwilliama4427]

My first Tool concert was Seattle, ca. 1997. I was front row in front of Justin, the part of aenima at 1:39 looked about 10x faster that day, fucking blew me away!

[@ji_su]

Sounds like the roadies weren't doing their jobs, lol. Someone should have ran out and fixed it for him.

[@Katharsis540]

Nicolas Grisanti Yes sir.

[@trenken]

Nicolas Grisanti you should start listening to some truly great bassists like geddy lee who destroys this guy. Justin has a cool sound. He is not a great actual bassist at all. Hes very average as far as his playing itself.

[@6ixstringslave]

Agrred, man. Another prog bass player that uses effects wisely, is Jon Stockman from Karnivool.

[@MrRubyscube]

Tim Renken That really depends man. What is a good bassist? A guy with a lot of technical skill, or a guy being able to write simple, great and original parts. Geddy is great, but I also think Justin is amazing in a way that appeals more to me musically. Pretty subjective stuff anyways.

[@nicolas.grisanti]

Is not a competition man, when you understand that, you will really enjoy music. BTW Geddy is amazing too, and "i start listening" Rush a long time ago, but thanks anyway ;)

[@cardinaldriver]

Interesting fact: He's the youngest member of Tool...age wise.

Wrong.... David Bottrill said they come to the studio prepared with every note in their pocket ....and therefore spend a small amount of time in the studio. I know he said this, because he said it standing 2 feet in front of of me....with about 40 other witnesses. You dont know shyte.

We were in Kasey Keller's suite, hardly watching the game, drinking overpriced beer and NOT talking about TOOL. I'm a bit of an Anglophile and fanatical fan of Tool's music so I guess I could've made a better effort to press him on that side of his life but I didn't seize the opportunity to "interview" the man.
