Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Paul D'Amour
(born May 12, 1967 in Spokane, Washington) was the original bass
guitarist for Tool. His bass sound was recognized by the aggressive
picked tone he developed with his Chris Squire Signature Rickenbacker
4001CS, which can clearly be heard on Tool's first full length album,
Undertow.Originally a guitar player, D'Amour became Tool's bassist after
being introduced to the band by guitarist Adam Jones. Like Jones,
D'Amour was in Los Angeles because of his wish to enter the film
industry.
