Justin first met Tool in New York, and kept in touch with band
members for a couple of years until Justin's band in England
"Peach", did a tour with Tool in Europe in 1994.
When original bassist Paul D'Amour left, 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.
After settling in the US, Justin married Ariadne Chancellor, on top
of Mingus Mountain in Arizona on January 12, 1997. They later separated.
