Trivia and QuotesQuotes All the art for Tool is done by the me and the band. I`m a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we`ve been in many bands. That`s the thing I like about my sound. It`s real raw and very unsafe compared to a solid state kind of sound. The Melvins are grunge. I have Seymour Duncan pickups, and I can`t get the same sound with any other guitar, not even another Gibson, without that finish on it. Different people get different things out of the images. It doesn`t matter what it`s about, all that matters is how it makes you feel. If I play anything that sounds like a solo, it`s gonna sound like a lyric. I`ve never worried about how long the song is. If you become addicted and a junkie, well, that`s your fault. When we played with the Rollins Band, we`d keep songs going until we felt like ending it. We have meetings with our record label to tell them how to market us. That`s what I love about our music - it`ll never be a hit because you can`t dance to it. Doing the stereotypical solo bores me. I personally don`t like to use as many effects because when you play live, something always goes wrong. I use Gibson guitars; I prefer the Les Paul custom. Many of the songs on Undertow were written at the time Opiate came out. I haven`t listened to much music lately; I`ve been out of it. But if you want to be in a band and write music, then you should just be in a band and write music. I`m my own worst critic and I think everyone in the band is a perfectionist. I`m not a good guitar player. I think putting labels on people is just an easy way of marketing something you don`t understand. I`ve always dabbled on guitar, but never took lessons. We could have gone with much bigger labels and more money, but we wanted to go with a company that is LA based, all in the same building, and really understands what the artists want. We wanted to take as much time and effort making the video as we did the song. I listen to Helmet - and I love Helmet, they`re a great band - but every song sounds the same. I played violin all the way up through my freshman year in high school, then I played a stand-up bass for three years in an orchestra. I mean, Tool has a style, but we try to make all our songs sound different from each other. I`m not a geek about equipment, I just know what I like. I`m not into solos, I`m into lyrics. I studied film in high school and actually got a scholarship to go to film school. But I turned it down because I thought it would screw me up. With four perfectionists in the band, we have a hard time reaching perfection. As far as the grunge thing, there are three bands from Seattle that I would call true grunge. I seriously do not think Nirvana is grunge. I played violin and got into that Suzuki program in the second grade. I think people like Steve Vai are so boring. We`re more into expressing ourselves than making radio hits. I have a record company starting. It`s called Flesh Records and I`m putting together music for porno movies. My approach is to be part of a band that makes music, not hit songs. | ||
