  • Western Carolinian February 10,1994 Features Page 7 TooPs "Undertow": College music's lifesaver Tool did not form with profit margins to mind. In fact, the four band members met by chance and began making music to blow off a little steam. In 1986, guitarist Adam Jones moved to Los Angeles from Libertyville, Illinois. Jones supported himself as a sculptor and special effects designer where he learned the stop- motion camera techniques that would later make the band's "Sober" and "Prison Sex" videos such visual marvels. Jones met singer Keenan who had migrated to LA after a nomadic upbringing that included a three-year stint in the Army. In fact, Keenan was considering enrollment at West Point when he split the military to study art which led to a job in LA applying spatial design concepts to remodeling pet stores. Jones convinced Keenan to channel his artistic energy into music, and the two hooked-up with Keenan's downstairs neighbor Danny Carey, a drummer who'd worked with LA stalwarts, Green Jelly and Pygmy Love Circus. Soon, bassist Paul D'Amour, who'd recently migrated to LA fromSpokane, Washington, was introduced through a mutual friend of Jones', and the band was born. The four members shared musical tastes and thematic insights inspired in part by a perpetual search for emotional stability within a pious world. "Tool began as a self- satisfyingthingforus," admitsCarey. "Our music was a release and a vehicle to get out whatever tensions we were feeling at that time." The band first bashed the face of rock and roll complacency in 1992 with a powerful EP called "Opiate." With dynamic songs like "Jerk-off" and the Freudian-inspired title track, Tool established itself as % 111111 more than a band of you ths angry for anger's sake. Taking earlier themes of spiritual dis- trustand physical retribution to new, broader heights, "Undertow", Tool's first full-length recording was released in April, 1993, and achieved gold status (sales of 500,000 units) in its first six months on the market. Tool increased its exposure during the summer of '93 after headlining several dates on Lollapalooza's ecletic second stage before moving to the main stage, mesmerizing new fans with an aggressively personal and confrontational aural assault. As word of Tool's blistering live performances spread, MTV began airing the ground-breaking video for "Sober," the first single from "Undertow". , Directed by Fred Stuhr and guitarist Jones, the surrealistic stop-motion images of an old man searching endlessly for something he never finds garnered the band Billboard Music Video Awards for Best New Artist and Best Qip in the hard rock/ metal category. Proving Tool's diverse fan base, the clip aired on shows as disparate as "Headbanger's Ball," "Alternative Nation" and even earned Bevis and Butthead's highest praise as one video that "doesn't suck." Byl993'send, Tool had toured Europe with "Fishbone" and "Rage Against the Machine" and headlined venues in the U.S. supported by "Failure." Critics hailed "Undertow" as one of the year's most refreshing surprises. Entertainment Weekly placed die album in its Top Ten for 1993. The band's latest single, "Prison Sex," which deals with the tragic, emotional consequences of child abuse, features another video produced by Adam Jones with Tool set in a bizarre, nightmarish world. Judging from the increased exposure the band has received, many people are I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I On Sale Now Sun.

"This album is indicative of our generation," the band explains. "This is a generation that woke up after a decade of complacency and apathy realizing it had a voice but was unawarehow to use that voice to fix the situation we're in. Now, as we wonder if the planet will be here tomorrow and if there will be a social structure we can trust through the media's filtered truths. We also wonder where to start and how to understand the political-correctness of everything. We want listeners to abandon the fucked- up ideas of what's right and wrong and discover those ideals for themselves."
