Please retract the video and edit every time you call Tool new metal please please please. I may be a little bit OCD about this but I didn’t know who I was until I was 18 and listen to Tool for the first time. Everything I have become is because of the lessons I have learned from Maynard James Keenan Adam Jones Justin chancellor and Danny Carey in the past 20 years. You make really great videos it’s almost perfect. I just won’t be able to sleep until this video has been edited to properly explain that Tool cannot be pigeonholed into any genre but rather they are a jam band that’s on another level spiritually and musically
I can fix this easily. Tool is like the mystery flavor.
It's numetal. But who cares a shit. Just plain good old music, that's all. It's not a relegion.
@@polarbear3427no it's not. Is Ice Cube Classical? Is Elton John Gregorian chant?
@@gregorygalyan3670 ... a little ocd?
another reason why Justin's lines are so unique is that he has an approach to the instrument that is typical for guitarists but very rare for bassists: chords, arpeggios, quick hammer ons and pull offs and much more.
tool literally have two guitarrists. Justin is like a heavy duty rhythm guitarist
Where does the idea come from that arpeggios are rare on bass? It's a basic bass technique and required for bass staples like walking bass.
At times he's lead guitarist
In about 2007 I played at a battle of the bands when me and my mates were 12-13. During judging one of the judges recommended our bassist stop using a pick because no real bassist used a pick. My bassist just went “uhhh Justin chancellor?” And the guy said “who?” We looked at each other and laughed so hard the crowd began to laugh and we proudly took home last place.
Fuckin A
Chris Squier? Duff McKagan? Billy Gould?
Jason Newsted?, David Ellefson?, Rex Brown?
LEMMY
John Entwistle?
I love how all of his thumbnails are literally the opposite of clickbait
I saw this thumbnail as clickbait because it acts like this obvious power chord, heard many times over Tool's catalogue, is somehow a secret.
@@ThatGuyYouArent2 it's not that deep, dude, calm down
Main reason I took up Bass. Can't deny the unique tone and style. 🤘🏻
That open D is one of the sexiest things in metal ive been thinking this forever im glad im not the only one
My bassist Idol
That giant 'D' chord was also used by their original bassist Paul D'Amor (check 'Sober'), as well as a lot of the other techniques you mentioned (like harmonics, chords, bright tone etc). Don't underestimate him
Paul did lay the foundation down for the bass in Tool but Justin perfected it. And him bringing his style with that foundation opened up Danny to an array of different drumming sounds.
Didn't Maynard come up with the intro to Sober when he was in another band before Tool?
I came here to say this. SO many harmonics on Undertow.
Justin even says he tried to emulate Pauls style
@@tylerphillips503 Just the vocal melody as far as I've been able to see. Id bet that Paul or Adam came up with the main riffs to it.
Both Bass players of Tool Paul D'Amour and Justin brought guitar style approaches to bass. Justin felt like such a natural fit for the band. Its no wonder they unanimously wanted him to become the bassist after D'Amour's departure.
Tool: What if guitar...but on Bass?
Also Motörhead of course
Disposition is the perfect example of harmonics on bass. The beginning bass riff is unreal!
I don't know if I heard you correctly but according what I heard; Tool are not nu-metal, they're prog metal!
They were nu-metal adjacent.
Who gives a shit? Why are you one of those people
Actually, Tool themselves don't identify as metal as they essentially have their own genre
@@jimmym9947 valid point
@@jimmym9947 adam wants to take a shower
"nu-metal". You take that back!
Update: You took it back like a man. You get a thumbs up my man. Thanks!
Justin's the heart and soul of Tool, great stuff!
Everything about Tool makes them amazing.
I've been a fan of Tool for over 17 years, 31 now. They have become my favorite band of all time because of how unique their music is, from the styles of playing the instruments and their use of time signatures. I appreciate you breaking down Justin's parts so well and his contribution to the band- he is so underrated and a complete legend! There was a complete style shift in the music when Paul D'Amour left Tool and Justin replaced him. This is why the early music sounds so different from what we hear today, especially from Lateralus onward. I think this might be my favorite video on RUclips now!
True, but there are some songs on Undertow that show a glimpse of foreshadowing of what the band will become, like Flood and Swamp Song.
I love the All Ds chord, it’s super satisfying knowing that’s how you play it when people try to tell you otherwise
Justin is proof that more rock bass players could embrace effects instead of going direct in all the time
Totally agree!!!
Many members of Bands are kinda afraid of a more creative Bass Sound. On the other hand an undefined Bass Sound can muddy the whole Thing. Thinking of a Bass Sound is getting interesting when you get a good defined little distorted ground like in electronic music. Every synth Bass is distorted a little to get it saturated. Then every effect mingled into that ground Sound will Sound much richer and way more subtle.
This is the best synopsis of Justin's approach that I've seen. Good video mate
Tool is such a talented/unique/unconventional mix of musicians of which are all complimentary to each other all of the time.
One of my favorite riffs is The Pot. He makes even 4/4 riffs sound out of this world. Tool is the only band I listen to where I often can’t distinguish between lead guitar and bass because he gets such original sounds from it. Chancellor redefines what bass can do.
I'm learning so much about bass by your breakdowns of the guys I listen to - thanks bro
Awesome video! I like that part when you name the "Super Chancellor Power Chord", I'll practice more that chord
Love Justin Chancellor, his playing definitely adds to Tool’s sound so well and their songs wouldn’t be the same without his touch on songs Schism, The Pot, Forty-Six & 2, Vicarious or Parabola (in my opinion, at least). For a future one of these, a video on Roger Waters, Paul McCartney, John Entwistle, Les Claypool or Jason Newstead would be cool
Thank you for this video. Justin Chancellor is one of my biggest bass inspirations. A video on Fat Mike would also be appreciated!
Fat Mike is really underrated just because he plays skate punk.
He is so fast and when sober (as he is these days) his timing is so tight. Really creative as well
For the record, Nirvana's Lounge Act bass line is one of the greatest basslines ever played.
He's one of the evidence that you can be bass virtuoso while playing with pick
@@terreausore2435 when i was buying my bass employer in one shop said that bassists in metal and especially playing with pic are usually crappy
@@PaulvonPaulus That’s a myth perpetrated by bass purest that use fingers only. I’ve been playing bass for over 30 years. I can play with a pick and I can play with my fingers. Using a pick or fingers doesn’t make or break any song. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t make a huge difference imo.
@@texasturner2313 100% agreed
Paul McCartney became the third highest earning musician of all time playing bass with a pick.
A pick is just another tool for a different sound. The best bassists will have pick playing as one of their many skills.
@@stevec6427 Perfect example
I've had to practice and write bass parts as I have yet to find a bassist for my band I'm putting together and this was such a good video to find! Thank you.
We would have to agree with you on Tool’s sound. Justin, along with Danny Carey, is the prime reason we listen to the band. Thanks for sharing!🎧
Very cool video! I like how you breakdown your examples with audio and visual demonstrations.
Could you do one on Billy Sheehan? An incredible bass mastermind with bass playing and a bass tone very unique to him. I’ve never heard anyone sound like him before
Yeah man that dude rips
yes this plz
Thanks Paul. I am just learning bass and he is one of my influences. Please also review Geddy and John Entwisle who love the time signatures .
No one can play like Justin Chancellor. Only Justin can play like Justin he's a bass God❤
Probably my favorite bass player
Always informative with enjoyable delivery.
Disposition is one of my favorite riffs with those harmonics.
'Parts are not overly complicated', well, if these are not i'd like to know what is? Rythmically those are at times very complicated and the fact that this music still sounds musical is really amazing.
Everything he does is complicated
I wouldn't say the parts as such are complicated (ie, not like rush or dream theater, lol), but pulling it off and sounding as good as him is another thing entirely. Sometimes the 'simpler' part is just as difficult as the complicated part.
I challenge anyone who says what he’s doing isn’t complicated to try learning Rosetta Stoned or either part of Wings for Marie.
I’m not a fan of Tool personally but as usual still watched your video and learned some things. Well done as always.
Don't know what you're missing, mate.
@@MetaFootballTV right. De gustibus non disputandum est, but Tool are among the best bands one can listen to. I consider them the metal counterpart to Pink Floyd. (Sorry if my english is bad)
Even if you’re not a Tool fan, there’s no denying he’s a bass revolutionary.
@@thombrady420 absolutely, just never got into them but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate talent.
Great video! ♥
Please cover Simmon Gallop from The Cure. Super underrated in my opinion and a innovator
True!
Yes! You're right
Yes!
Amen to that!
Mike Mills of R.E.M! Hes criminally underrated
Yes, he is amazing
One of my favourite players! :D
My old band was tuned in drop C. Thatz a whole step down on all strings with the LOW E string dropped to C. Sounds awesome in a metal band!
As user Maximum Mutt here said, this isn’t “his” chord, it “belongs” to their old bassist, Paul, in the song Sober. Also Tool isn’t nu-metal, they’re an alt-industrial-post metal jam band. Or just a rock band.
Always seemed to me that Tools’s original bass tone came from D’Amour’s passive Ric and Chancellor took it and ran with it on his active Wal.
D'Amour had already switched to a Stingray when writing started for Aenima
I always thought D'Amour's tone was more aggressive and up close (not a bad thing I still love it) but Justin's is more mature of that still in your face, but calm
any video about tool and JC is good in my opinion. very insightful and entertaining.
This is a great video. Well made 👍👍
Nice channel! I know most Brit bands don't get much coverage but would be cool if you did a how to sound like Mat Osman from Suede. Really love his melodic basslines.
tbf the justin superchord was in Sober, so I guess we can attribute it to Paul first?
The chords in the beginning of schism are our of this world. Really easy to play but have such feel.
I absolutely love Justin's style and sound. As a bass player myself, I've been given a lot of crap by various guitar players that I've played with because I play a style that's very similar to what Justin does. I'm not always trying to just keep a low end groove. I'm always trying to harmonize and change the dynamics of a song by playing harmonizing melodies with the guitars and drums. I suppose it takes a certain kind of guitar player ti appreciate this kind of style.
A good guitarist will appreciate your creativity. With that in mind, make sure that you play for the song.
He’s also one of the few players whose instrument is actually very important, occasionally crucial (like with the crazy filter sweeps he does sometimes) to his tone. You can get pretty close on most 34-35” scale solidbodies, preferably bolt-ons, but it’s REAL hard to absolutely nail it without a Wal.
Not that hard with a Stingray. The song Descending would be a perfect example.
@@Toolmybass I can get REALLY close on most TOOL songs with my US Sterlings, I’m sure a Stingray would be just as close with a little EQing, but there are things that can kinda only be done with that crazy Wal preamp on certain Chancellor bass lines. He does these wild filter sweep swell things with the preamp controls. I’m sure someone well-versed in effects could replicate them some other way, I just don’t know what it’d be.
My home boy, JC.
Not ALL is US-made.
Long live BRITANNIA 💪💪💪
Init, tho. Our man JC plays 2 hour heavy metal concert, then goes home to drink a cup of tea and complain about the weather :D :D
@@richardwilliams877 No. Lives in the US.
@@MetaFootballTV a true Brit can complain about the weather where ever they find themselves, lol
@@richardwilliams877 Yeah, but living where he lives, and being as humble as he is, I'm not sure he will..whike remaining a true Brit.
Lusithand Devices makes a real cool preamp for Justin's tone, also there are some pickup makers out there like Rautia Guitars and Herrick Pickups that make great multicoil bass pickups to further get close to Justin's tone.
Just get a Stingray, Proco Rat, Boss eq and a good preamp. Nothing comes closer to a Wal tone. If there is please share a link, because in over a decade of tone chasing i havent heard anything closer.
Thank for this one! Simon Gallup video one day?
I find with tool it's almost as if the guitar and bass switch traditional rolls I used tool to teach my friend how to play bass so I can play along with him without playing over him so he could better enjoy the instrument. He now plays for a couple hours a day and has done for 3 years so proud 😁
Paul D'amour needs to bed credited for most of the points in this
Paul's style. Justin perfected it.
Not really, paul did the exact same shit. Up untill he left the band, justin doesn't change the lines, even the ones paul wrote for Aenema....you mean to say justin strums all the D notes better than Paul? ....🙄
Great video!
Geddy lee?
Nu metal came out in the late 90s and early 2000s. Tool started in 1990, with a hard alternative bent, but with elements of prog and psychedelia.
Nu metal;
" Intense and angry lyrics, off-pitch guitars, and heavily amplified beats were typical of nu metal songs. The genre was represented most popularly by the bands Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, the Deftones, Evanescence, and Linkin Park "
Not even closely related.
Sei un grande 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Paul was no slouch either...his tone was nasty!
You should do Les Claypool! :)
Please please please do Bass Legend Les Claypoole
None of the clips on the arpeggios are actually arpeggios. I was thinking of that one part of Rosetta stoned maybe
🔥
Hey Paul, can you do a video on how to sound like Michael Anthony from Van Halen?
Cool!
please make one about simon gallup
I think you should do one for Chris Squire from YES. One of the best bass players of all time.
COOL!!!
I never appreciated bass until I listened to TOOL
Could you please do a video on Mike Gordon, of Phish?
I know that there are technically "better" bassists out there but Justin is still by far my favorite because he is such an interesting, tasteful, uniquely melodic player that comes up with very unusual melodies, time signatures, and rhythms. Justin, Adam, and Danny are all really big inspirations to me. Maynard is too, but I can't sing so I can only appreciate his vocal melodies and lyrics.
Can you make a video of Class Grenayde, bassist of Lord of the Lost please?
Can you do a video of Micheal Anthony from Van Halen?
could you make one of Chris Slorach (METZ) or Pavel Kozlov (Molchat Doma)?
Well, this is about Drop d tunings in Bass playing.
Great video! Btw dancing over so-called "odd time signatures" it's the normality for a lot of people around the world! Actually, after a while you play "odd" it doesn't sound odd at all! :D
I agree. I spent a decade in a Prog-Metal band, playing stuff that could fit on Dream Theater and Symphony X albums. Then, after that band broke up, I joined a Thrash band. I started showing ideas and the guys were like 'Uh......you've got some weird counts in there.'
Little by little, those weird counts finally took hold. 6 years later, the drummer often doesn't even realize that I've tricked him into playing outside of 4-4.
JC is absolutely nasty. One of the all time greats!!
Forget slap man! Hell yeah, I have found myself. I play bass like guitar myself. I think of myself similarly to Mike Dirnt, Lemmy, Geezer Butler, Chris Squire and Justin Chancellor. For one I’m much more precise with a pick on the bass, and I can groove like a boss
Does he play fingers?
you should do one of these on Simon Gallop :)
1:19 That also describes perfectly to Mark Hoppus style XD
Paul D’Amour did the super chancellor power chord first. Sober, yo.
I'd love to hear you do a very underrated bassist D.D Verni from Overkill or Eddie Jackson from Queensryche
I think you should giveaway a WAL Bass 😎✌️😅
So on a 4-string base since you are only down tuning the E, wouldnt that be considered Drop D tuning rather than D Standard? Not being a smart ass, just looking for clarification.
Drop d is DADG, d standard is one step down on every string, DGCF
Pls do bass habits about Nate Mendel of foo fighters plsssssss
Chris Squire?
next...the fretless king: MICK KARN (R.I.P)!
❤👍🔝
👏👍😃 !
Excuse me numetal?
You should do Johnny Christ of avenged sevenfold
Maynard writes the lyrics, after the song is written.
Wow no mention of 46 and 2’s characteristics
Paul, ma davvero? Cioè, per te i Tool sono NU metal? È alternative prog!
come detto, cito Bass Player mag! ;)
Appunto, un musicista navigato come te non dovrebbe fidarsi dei giornali! Comunque ti perdono la svista, solo perché i tuoi video sono validissimi e si impara tanto ;) continua così!
Justin Chancellor is an incredible bassist. But I disagree on the "Nu Metal" tag for Tool. Their sound is clear and articulated, and the writing is elaborated. Very far ahead Nu Metal. Thank for sharing and Cheers from Canada mate !
It just feels dam good to play his stuff
Can you make a video about jason newsted of metallica? Pardon my English I'm from greece 🍻🤟
Your English seems good to me.
I agree- Newsted would be a great video subject
🍻 cheers
Awesom!
Also Tom Araya from Slayer next?
There's nothing really to talk about(
@@user-wm1cn7ge1p right, he's practically inaudible in the mix
@@user-wm1cn7ge1p Damn
Follow guitar
?
Scream
Don’t use 4/4... except for when they do 🤷♂️
