Justin Chancellor
Bass Guitar, 95-
Birth Name - Justin Gunnar Walte Chancellor

Justin first met tool in New York, and kept in touch with the band members. A couple of years later, Justin's band in
England "Peach", did a tour with Tool in Europe in 1994. When original bassist Paul D'Amour left to play guitar in Lusk,
Tool gave Justin a call. At first Justin turned them down. Peach had broken up about six months before, and he was
forming a new band with the guitarist. Justin felt very loyal to his friend who he'd played with since he was 14. But then
decided he couldn't deny himself the opportunity. Justin flew to the US, auditioned, and got the job. He beat out some stiff
competition, which included Filter's Frank Cavanagh, KYUSS's Scott Reeder, Zaum's Marko Fox (who did the voice on
Die Eier von Satan), and Pigmy Love Circus's E. Shepherd Stevenson.

Justin's sound is different from Paul D'Amour's because he is a heavy bass player and added a heavier low end to the
overall sound of the band.
