Just owned every one who ever once touched a bass. hell, anyone who even listened to music. he just fucking shines on this album. absolutely disgustingly good bass parts. seriously. srsly.





srsly.

too bad hes a fucking chelsea fan.

West Brom ftw.

justin is amazing on the album...everyone is really, so its not surprising

"Just owned every one who ever once touched a bass"

JACO PASTORIUS and several others = UNTOUCHABLE

10,000 Days...all I need to say

I haven't heard 10K days yet, but his work with Peach on Giving Birth to a Stone is some of the most amazing, raw, "disgustingly good" (as dracomordag so masterfully put it) bass work I've ever heard. Don't get me wrong, he was good on Ænima and Lateralus, but it sounded lower in the mix compared to Peach. I'm still waiting with baited breath to hear how he plays on 10,000 Days, though.

Still, if you haven't heard Giving Birth to a Stone I'd really reccommend it. It's quite teh good.

if you haven't heard 10kD... you have not experienced how good JC can really be. on this second listen through, he's shining even more. Intension and Wings seem to be his stand out tracks, but he certainly is good on every one.

hm les claypool
john myung
mhm



justin chancellor is probbaly the bassist i like the most though.

true, but he really comes through on this album. like, i heard his riffs on the other ones and was like "okay, he's not your typical bassist that plays just root tones, etc. (obviously)"... but didn't think way high of him. this album really changed my view on that. that one song where the intro is just him doing crazy harmonics and shit is killer

Simply playing notes doesnt make you good...Jaco Pastorius plays notes...Victor Wooten is a bass player...its all about feel and mix with the music to which the player is mixed with. Victor Wooten plays bass...Flea plays bass...Claypool plays bass...Justin MOTHERFUCKING Chancellor plays the MOTHERFUCKING Bass. Jaco doodle and plays notes.

actually paul d'amour wrote more of stinkfist, h., pushit and i think aenima......justin should be responsible for all the rest....

don't quote me on exacts though.....it's something like that

can someone correct me?......paul left the band because of creative differences (we all know) but didn't he want to create ambient trippy music? more of like what they are doing today?

im confused.

Oh and it depends on who you are asking....seeing how you thought they got better.

I tried it, didn't like it...Talk about bad lyrics...

Justin roxes!!

im not going to say JC (the bassist, not the christ) is the best bassist ever, i hodl stanley clark there, but he is the greatest rock bassist. whats the differece? people like les claypool (who i love) are playing in the front on purpose to show us how good they are at the bass. when listening to this album you realize that justin sticks out in front of this album because hes playing to the music, not trying to show off. im sitting here right now listening to the new album with my bass and i cant get my head around some of the bass lines that he throws down. before i saw justin as a background bassist, someone who just tries to enforce the music, but on this album he is making the music.

I've said it before and i'll say it again...


Justin totally shows the bass who's boss on this CD.

I agree, not a lot of bassists have shit on Justin Chancellor.

Justin is the fucking man on this CD. Many rockin' riffs.

i dont think its THAT phenomenal what he plays, but well he definately took a step forward.

I think Justin really shines on this record.....

The bass on Jambi gives me chills.

i applaud the whole band. incredible experience. its a completely new journey from tool.

*applause*

the whole band deserves equal applause

i love justin.. i think Maynard is the greatest in this album, then Justin and then Adam & Danny.

All 4 of them, but I think Justin has shown the most improvement from previous albums.

How can you not applaud him. The guy has been a driving force ever since coming into the band. I love the way he and Danny fit together, and 10,000 days only cemented that fact.

yes all of them kudos and extra karma shots...i love this fucking disc

Justin tears it up on The Pot.

yeah actually.... hmmm.

agreed, justins basswork on this album stood out especially for me. not saying the rest of the band weren't good.it's all top banana.

i think ive made like 3 threads on this topic alone.
jc pwns here

the guy writes great riffs and he commands his Wal.

I have got to agree on most of the tracks on this album I remember thinkin "that bass sounds amazing"

Justin's amazing on this record

the man makes me want to have sex...so yes

applause

i applaud all 4 of the boys

yep, definitely.

i think he shines the most on the pot i would say

hehehe top banana :)
