“Will the next Tool album take more than 10,000 days?”
That was an ongoing (and agonizing) joke for Tool fans that awaited the band’s fifth album following the release of 2006’s 10,000 Days. (A cruel clairvoyance of a title.) For those counting, when Fear Inoculum was finally delivered on August 30, 2019, it was just 4,868 days from their previous album. All crummy jokes aside, the anticipation of the album was real for a reason: the music. And the rhythmic cog of their constant contorting of depth and darkness is bassist Justin Chancellor.
Sure, drummer Danny Carey is a living legend bashing everything his large frame can smash and crash. Adam Jones transforms his guitar into a Hans Zimmer production with varied textures, temperaments, and traits his tone expresses. During shows, singer and lyricist Maynard James Keenan prowls in the shadows adding to the band’s musical mysticism. This triumvirate core dished out the punishing EP Opiate in 1992, and their 1993 debut full-length Undertow was more complex and calculated in its rage. But in 1995, when Justin Chancellor replaced Paul D’Amour on bass, Tool immediately expanded their dimensionality. The original three continued to dazzle and dumbfound listeners, but the addition of Chancellor and his pocket-minded role unlocked a collective vocabulary previously unspoken. Simply put, if Tool was an octopus, Chancellor was the head. The others could be momentarily independent tentacles exploring the melodic murkiness of their respective reaches, but when they needed to propel forward, Chancellor was steering. His lines are the base for the band’s groove and attitude that became a focal point on subsequent releases with 1996’s Ænima, 2001’s Lateralus, 2006’s 10,000 Days, and eventually 2019’s Fear Inoculum. The former three went triple-platinum, while the latter three were No. 1 on the Billboard 200. (Ænima landed in the No. 2 spot.)
If you ever catch yourself playing air guitar to Tool, you’re probably mimicking Chancellor’s parts. “Schism,” “The Pot,” “Forty Six & 2,” “H.,” “Fear Inoculum,” “Descending,” “The Grudge,” and plenty of others feature his buoyant bass riffs.
Chancellor’s tone has had a longstanding relationship with Wal basses, Gallien-Krueger amps, and Mesa/Boogie cabs. The evolving part of his rig has been his pedalboard. At this juncture of the band’s run supporting Fear Inoculum, Chancellor’s board is larger than his guitar-playing counterparts. Yet everything has a place and purpose. Some of it is duplicity, some of it is to avoid any required knob-turning during the show, and as we find out in the Rundown, some of it is just for fun. Grab a seat and get comfortable as Chancellor and his tech Pete Lewis walk PG’s elated Chris Kies through his live setup.

not to be a jerk, but why link a 5 string here?
I hope that you guys was able to get Adam as well....and just saving it for another day.. and maybe Danny or his tech for the drum department
This is the vid I needed in my life.
Where was the intro to this video shot? Killer pinball machines!
So where's the link to the Wal then??? Surely Sweetwater is doing a promo on those too! 😝
I hope everyone enjoys the episode! I tried to do all the Tool/bass fans justice! And thanks for indulging my extended intro ... keep rocking!
Congrats on landing this one! Bur really, you've built a tremendous body of work with Rig Rundown and that brings with it these opportunities. Keep rollin!
Hell yes man! This is a big one. I met Justin once in their music clinic "tour" and found him to be such a lovely, kind person. I've also been a Tool fan for decades 🤘
You did great man!
Great job keeping your cool, dude!
The guys in Tool are really super nice and down to earth. I met Danny and Adam a bunch a long time ago and they were always kind and willing to talk shop. Looking forward to watching this one.
This better be the most watched Rundown of 2024.
Definitely going to be my most watched
Fleas rig rundown would also qualify:) Justin, Les, Robert T and Flea!
I'm gonna play it daily, I don't care
Wait until they get Adam it’s game over
@@ChrisRamlar me too
You guys should include a
"Purchase Gear Responsibly" warning label on all of the rig rundowns cuz I'm about to lose my house.
😂😂
4 year wait and 10k cost on a Wal last I looked.
@@71calexThat’s about $208.33 a month for the 4 year wait just to cover the full 10k for it
When he started playing Schism I couldn’t help but smile.
Same!
timestamp?
Every single one of his riffs is so iconic, I was smiling everytime he played one, but especially that autowah sound on the grudge.

one of the fastest 40 minute videos of my life.
Felt like 4 min!
No fuckin shit that was 40 min? nut uh!
I was sad when it was over I was like no way that’s 40 minutes
I noticed this comment 30 min in and I thought: no way, I just started, oh nvm
I love what’s unspoken in this video. The way the tech looks at Justin when he’s talking and the mutual respect and listening between all three of you. Beautiful x
I love how he's straight faced most of the time, but when justin is playing and showcasing his pedals he starts smiling :)))
saw that too. the delight when your boss is a genius and legend and an allround humble good dude
I think it's sexual attraction
This video deserves a Grammy, a Webby, and a Nobel Peace Prize.
What about a gibby
I used to pray for times like this
@FunkyMonk6 Pretty sure he grinds like that to shine like this
@FunkyMonk6 Pretty sure that in a matter of time I spent locked up in the back of a paddy wagon, cuffs locked on wrists
@FunkyMonk6 yeah you seem dreams unfold and nightmares come true?
@FunkyMonk6Hold up, wait a minute. You thought he was finished?
@FunkyMonk6 When I bought an Aston Martin do you think it was rented?
The mid show string changes. what a legend.
In my mind I'm like "does he know it's a bass?"
5 MINUTES NO LESS...FFS
I was hoping for a demonstration of the string change process. Bet it's like watching a marine breakdown and reassemble his rifle. 😂
I don't change my strings. Ever 😂
well earnie ball regulars (non-coated) and even the damn coated ones kinda suck in terms of durability (i just put em a few months back on my guitar to try them out). They darken up in like a few hours so of course he'll feel the need to change em mid show. They are sponsored so ofc they say they love em but if you guys really want sound longevity (of about 6 months) use elixir.
so cool. justin seems actually excited to do this. i always have the impressions musicians dont want to do these kind of videos and just send their guitar tech.
He actually seemed kind of nervous at first! Love Justin! ❤
You’d be surprised at how many artists have the attitude of “I just play it, I don’t care how it works” my dad is like this, he’s one of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard and has played for 60 years and doesn’t even like changing his own strings and thinks I’m crazy for changing pots or pickups. I thought it was cool seeing how involved and enthusiastic Justin was on the technical side
I agree.. To me, it's his bass riffs and tone is Tools' signature sound
Flawless. Justin is not just a bassist. He is a tone/sound scientist!
Micheal Scott telling us when the Tool rig run down finally happens
“Ok it’s happening, everyone stay calm! STAY FKN CALM!!!”
XD
And Jim just happy to finally know what a ‘run down’ is.
@@Scissorhandsx91he’s gonna fax that rundown….to his dad.
I am so glad he confirms the shift from 113 to 115 because I thought I was losing my mind.
right its supple. told my son about when we were listing one day. he couldn't hear it. to me it was loud as a bell
Finally, one of my bass heroes ❤❤, just waiting for the Adam Jones rig rundown
I’m sure we’ll be waiting for a while!!
@@Timothy0430maybe, i hope not 15 years, thanks DunlopTv 😂😂
Will Never happen
He just doesn’t really enjoy talking about gear apparently. It would be more fun to have his guitar tech do it.
ADAM DO IT PLEASE 😢
everyone seems to focus on the others, but i think this guy is the secret to tools sound
@@thed3008 i imagine it wouldnt be tool then would it
No disrespect to the other hosts that sometimes do these rig rundowns but Chris is by far the best at it. He always asks informative questions and really knows his stuff
I like Chris and John Bolinger equally.
bolinger
For all us bassists waiting so long….. YESSSSSS 🔥
Never have I clicked on a video so fast in my life! Glad you got Justin to talk about his gear with help from Pete Lewis, what a great vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@premierguitardo you think getting Adam on an episode would be possible? To get Justin and Adam rig rundowns would be so damn amazing!
@@jasoncarraway966 I think it's very unlikely because Adam is ultra secretive about his gear, though there was an old rig tour video with his tech Chris Leahy which explained his Silverburst Gibsons, Diezel & Marshal amps, and also the pedalboard including his talkbox for Jambi
I have been waiting for this video ever since I saw the grainy Dunlop TV rundown at 15 years old. All of my bass playing since has been inspired by Justin's massive sound and chordal phrasing
that Dunlop one is the Zapruder film of JC's bass
I built my bass tone around that video, but now watching this one I realized so much was left out!!!!
That's rad Chris did the little intro to show his appreciation for the opportunity. Bollinger & Chris are like the PG bread & butter.
The critical element for the tone is his suspenders. Without those, no gyro hips, no bassy bass
The only thing better than Justin and this interview is the look on Chris' face the whole time. Like a kid at Christmas! Absolutely priceless. So happy you guys could make this happen. Honestly, if I ever even made eye contact with anyone from Tool I would become a mute pile of fanboy goo. Good job!
Was in the front row in front of this guy last Monday night. Vibrated my sinus cavities. What a blast watching him play!
Holy crap... This must be one of the most waited Rig Rundowns ever... Let's hope we can get Adam and Danny/Joe for the drums
I've been hoping for a Premier Guitar rig rundown with Adam for years. Dunlop did a very superficial one years back.
@martindammable an Adam one would be simple: "uh this is a gibson, idk what year or anything. And these are my diezel heads and mesa cabs. That's uh... that's pretty much it. *drop d riff*"
czcams.com/video/cZ7oqWdMvt8/video.htmlsi=dTZ0orUzuG9We-83
Here’s a video of Danny Carey that was just recently put out.
Im here even in not a bassist... i really hope that make a ADAM JONES rig rundown too... please!
they asked him but he politely declined.
Adam goes out of his way to keep his rig an enigma wrapped up in a mystery.
@@SirOttisAdam was also the main reason Tool wasn’t on streaming services for so long. I’ve all but worshipped Tool for twenty years so it’s hard to say anything bad, but Adam has always come across as a quiet artist wizard who just wants to make your ears bleed and not anger any questions.
I'm a guitarist and a huge Tool fan and I've been dying to watch this episode. I cannot wait for the Adam Jones rig rundown.
It will never happen. Sadly.
His clean tone gives me chills every time
💯
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing. As one of the first bassists on CZcams to try to show Justin’s music to the world covering Tool on bass it’s wonderful to see how much more open he is later in his career to show the secrets of his sound. From Aenema to 10k days it was always a mystery and he remained pretty mysterious about his unique sound. I spent the better part of almost 15 years trying to dial in his sound and there were a few things that were hard to replicate. I love that he is now so open to sharing….this is an amazing video that answers a few questions I still had remaining. Thank you so much for sharing!!!🙏🏻
Bro you are a CZcams legend for us Tool bass fanatics such as myself. Hope life is treating you well my friend. I was always very stoked to see new content from you cause like you said a lot of Justin’s sound was a total mystery until you started putting together videos.
Not only that but you are in your own right an amazing bass player as well! Your covers were extremely well done my friend.
Does your whammy still work? mine had a faulty charger and its been dead since. Good to see you're still rocking the bottom end Brad! Old timey greets from NL.
@@plukette my friend!!! Wow! So good to hear from you! Yes, my original bass whammy is still working and tracking well. I hope you are well!
You know the true hero here?? Chris. I cant imagine seeing tool live, let alone being in his shoes for this shoot. You served us fans so very well, and did us proud ❤️
Chris Kies is such a good dude. It's awesome to see people showing their excitement and humility around their heroes. Chris please always stay this way, this is what keeps music passionate and magical.
Respect to Paul D'Amour, he rarely gets credit for creating the "TOOL" sound with his bass style.
His reaction to Justin handing him the Wal was priceless
To me, Justin is simply the best and most inspirational modern bassist, and the reason why I play bass...
Beyond his amazing talent, Justin always seems to be a simple and humble man enjoying what he does and easy to access, which is not that common at this level of the food pyramid.
How many rock stars would have rather sent their roadie (only) for this kind of interview ?
Justin not only is present but also puts his technician under the spotlights...
Means a lot from a human standpoint !
More than 30 years since I've been listening to Tool and on a nearly daily basis.
What a wonderful musical journey it's been so far.
Can't wait for their next release !
Thank you so much Justin for this and everything !!!!!
And thx a lot @chris_kies and Premier Guitar for this flawless "Rig rundown" !
The only issue for you now will be to make something better than this (forget about it, simply impossible) !!!
Cheers
Cédric (from France)
🤘😉
I wish Peter Steele would have been around long enough for you to do a Rig Rundown on his gear. He's the only other bass player with such a unique sound that almost no one can replicate.
the GOAT for modern rock bass 🔥thank you PG
Much like a Tool song, that 40 minutes felt like 5 minutes. I’ve spent years trying to get close to his tone and just studying him as a musician. Kick ass job, Chris. What an experience to be right there with the legend! I’ve wanted a video like this for YEARS! Huge thanks to everyone who said yes to making this a reality 🙌
I wouldn't even be able to speak. He inspired me to play and millions others and now, probably more. Thanks a bunch, Premier!!!
This is a DREAM rig rundown. I've never seen a better one. And Justin is such a lovely guy. Great job!
The guy is a God, yet so down to earth. So cool to see the rig that makes that huge sound, awesome video!
Can't believe this episode is real. Thank you love it.
Using the LS-2 to bypass multiple analog effects is smart.
I use the LS-2 pedal and its a game changer. Pedal does so much and is relatively cheap for a boss pedal that does so many things
I love how in all the Tool interviews I've seen, the guys are so cool and laid back. Shout out to Justin for doing this, and for having Pete there (and treating him as part of the team). Thank you for this... :)
One of the best interviews ever!Greatly appreciated
You really gave this segment the time it deserves,Justin is a composer,such an affable guy too,u did awesome to contain your inner fanboy and props to his tech guy for coming along
A dream came true! This episode means a lot to many many people.. thank you guys
Awesome video! I've met Justin and Danny multiple times.. such humble and cool dudes. Love the attention to detail and how you can tell you are actually a tool fan with the questions asked! 10/10
Hell yeah, I was at this show. Absolutely epic, and this rig rundown is pretty much holy grail material. Props for making it happen
My life is complete. Wonderful video. Justin is such a lovely bloke. And that Wal just sounds glorious
Justin is incredible, it was interesting to learn how he makes his bass make all of those signature TOOL sounds
I’ve been waiting for a video on these guy for so long, I’ve been a huge Tool fan ever since I first heard them in Guitar Hero: World Tour so this is absolutely awesome. My friends and I who play in a band with (we also covered Sober at our most recent show last year, a song we’ve been holding onto since we first wanted to do it at our second gig) went to go see them back in November and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to (we even got to meet a gentleman who was sitting next to us that had been following Tool since 1993, which was really cool), especially since they brought out Alex Lifeson from Rush to join them for Jambi (which was our singer’s favourite Tool song) and they went into the solo section from Passage to Bangkok and we were just blown away because neither of us were even expecting to see Lifeson and it was fucking awesome. This has definitely made its place as one of my favourite RRs, fucking awesome as always guys
Lets goo! Premier Guitar continues to deliver time and time again! Very excited for this one. Thanks for the great work you do!
Big thanks to Chris for bringing us this gem.
How kind its Justin to do this, huge congrats for making it real!
This is by far the most interesting episode in the series! What a fortune to get such a chat with the legendary Justin, amazing!
This is amazing! I picked up the bass guitar because of Justin so it's awesome to see such a cool interview.
I've been waiting for this for forever. They were so well prepared and open to do the thing. What a great rundown. Seeing them recently, not only is his playing but his tone is meticulous.
Justin has written many of the most recognizable riffs in TOOL’s catalog. I’m glad y’all got him!
I really enjoyed and appreciate your introduction Chris. You should definitely do it more often. It’s really refreshing as an audience to listen someone talking and expressing yourself with so much emotion, clarity, confidence, authentic and full of excitement about what you have achieved. My respect!
Congrats Chris and Thanks a lot for sharing such a wonderful Rig Rundown video!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻We all love Tools & Justin Chancellor…this is it guys! 😎
Absolutely!!! 💯👍🏻
Hi, I'm Jens from Germany.
I was inspired to play bass by Sober over 20 years ago and since then I have truly loved Justin and Tool deeply for their music and their art.
Thank you very much for the great insight!
Wish you all the best :)
Seriously props to Justin's tech! The way he looks, listens and reacts to everything Justin says or needs. Those dudes are the unsung heros of any show or tour. As a bass player myself I'm always watching videos of rig rundowns to try and learn as much as I can because of how much they know and the tricks they have. I've known Warren Lee who was Jeff Hanne man and now Gary Holt's guitar tech and I'm always peppering him with questions because he's a bass player himself and the experience and knowledge these guys have is amazing!
My bass player friends have been trying to figure out how Justin gets his tone since we were kids. You're doing gods work here!
18:36 That blue P bass can be heard on the Slipknot song Adderall. Vman said he borrowed it when they were recording the song for their latest album “The End, So Far”
Thank you for bringing Isis into the conversation, this band is amazing and you can see the influence Tool had on them throughout their catalog, especially on the bass.
I’ve been waiting for this episode for years! Thank you Premier Guitar ❤
Congradultions to Justin and TOOL for having the best in the business do their RigRundown...Chris "Always-Prepared" Kies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to see someone genuinely excited to speak to a hero - you did well mate, well done!
Much appreciated!
This is huge ! Such a great video, thank you !
Glad you liked it!
Really love how Justin and Pete do this together. You can see the chemistry between them in this video. Great to see, thanks for this video to everyone who contributed to it in any way!
Absolutely amazing! I've been a fan of Tool since they started and this is one of my all time favorite Rig Rundowns. Great job PG crew!
Awesome! Thank you!
By far the best musicians to ever make music together
Thanks so much for posting this! Feels like I've been waiting a lifetime for this interview.
Thanks Chris for the intelligent questions, and thanks Justin and Pete for being so generous with your knowledge!
Everything about this video is outstanding! Thank you so much everyone
What a groovy fella. Dude is killer on the fat-strings!!!

British guys are such gentlemen. Even when they argue... It's a polite gentlemen argument 🤣 Served with some British Marines in my military days, those were some of the best cats I've ever met.
Except when we're driving then all hell breaks loose lol
Omg this is the best bday gift I will get this week!

One of my bass idols! Thank you for this
NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
Finally! Since I discovered those Rig Rundowns and since I saw that Dunlop video about Justin's rig I wanted to see a detailed rundown of his rig. Thanks to everyone for making it happen.
A long time coming on this one. Super exciting and it's cool that Justin was enthusiastic talking about everything.
this episode is gold, thank you so much!
Hearing Justin demonstrate his rig is magical. It’s as if you get a small window into how they crafted those beautiful tones on the albums when he plays the classic riffs. Top shelf rundown
Man it's so awesome to see the artist sit there jam and explain their rig! So fucking awesome!
