song worried
I've never worried about how long the song is.
I'm not a geek about equipment, I just know what I like.
played program
I played violin and got into that Suzuki program in the second grade.
personally
I personally don't like to use as many effects because when you play live, something always goes wrong.
songs sound tool
I mean, Tool has a style, but we try to make all our songs sound different from each other.
music
I haven't listened to much music lately; I've been out of it.
adds capture connection image interested music pick present songs tool
Everyone in Tool is interested in how we present our music. We write a group of songs that have a vibe, energy and feeling, and then we try to pick an image to capture that and communicate a feeling. We want something that adds to the connection with the audience.
lots shoot stuff time
In the time between records, I always have lots of stuff going on. I shoot photography, make little sculptures, play video games.
art
All the art for Tool is done by the me and the band.
I seriously do not think Nirvana is grunge.
I never thought 'Stairway to Heaven' was a long song. I loved how there was this part and then there was another part that was completely different.
As long as I can remember, growing up we had a guitar around our house, and I was always plucking on it.
I've always dabbled on guitar, but never took lessons.
