PRESS RELEASE:
Fear Inoculum’s release caps off over a decade of speculation and anticipation, with confirmation of the release arriving in May as the band flashed “August 30” from the stage as they performed two new songs: “Descending” and “Invincible.”
As August arrived, TOOL released their back catalog via digital service providers, seeing Opiate, Undertow, Ænima, Lateralus and 10,000 Days rack up in excess of 20 million streams in the subsequent 48 hours and occupy the top five spots on iTunes’ Top 10 Album Charts. 23 years after its initial release, Ænima re-entered Billboard’s Top 200, arriving at #10, with Lateralus (#16), 10,000 Days (#18) and Undertow (#19) landing in the Top 20. TOOL’s debut release, 1992’s Opiate EP, made its Billboard chart premiere, arrived at #59. The band also broke records that week: taking four of the top five spots on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums chart (the first act to achieve that feat upon digital release) and claiming 15 (of 25) spots on Billboard’s Rock Digital Song Sales chart.
The title track arrived as details surrounding the collection surfaced, including a limited-edition CD version of Fear Inoculum. The collectible offering, which was conceived by and directed by Adam Jones, features a 4” HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, charging cable, 2 watt speaker, a 36-page booklet and a digital download card. A list of retailers who have remaining stock of the groundbreaking package can be found here: http://smarturl.it/TOOLFIa. A vinyl release will be announced soon.
4 for Denver! Whoo Hoo!!!! $125 each before fees, 15 or so rows behind front of house.
I want them to open with 7empest! Fuck, here we go again...
For those thinking of reselling or buying more than the max 4 - see the event details. Several are very clear that no reselling will be allowed and anyone caught with more than 4 tickets linked to an account will have tickets revoked.
Noticing the above info on the non-TM site links posted above. Hopefully helps get more Tool Army fans tickets instead of having to buy from scalpers.
For those that just purchased Tool Army access just for presale regular tickets, that rarely happens. Usually only limited VIP. Should be able to get tickets via the links above. Remember - they’ve found ways to make sure scalpers don’t eat up all the tickets immediately :-)
Yeah, 4 ticket limit and then for 4 or 5 times after selecting tickets being told "another fan has those, refresh and choose again". Woulda been pissed if I totally missed a section because I was trying to grab 4.
Anyone know how many tickets I will be able to buy Friday morning for the LA show? I'm worried it will be only 4, especially with only 2 per person being allowed for VIP...and we are a Tool family of 5.
On Ticketmaster, Boston has a 4 ticket limit. I'd suggest checking the ticket seller's event listing to make sure.
Bought TA to try to get regular tickets pre-sale...(as mentioned in their August 30th news post). Only to find out looking at last night's updated post saying VIP tickets only. Total scam - misinformation on their part, nothing but a cash grab. I want my money back.
Ditto
I sent a request for a refund for the membership AND the shipping cost of the TA merch package which I don't even want anymore. I agree, misleading language and felt like a scam. Still no reply from my e-mail.
I have placed 3 orders with Tool since joining TA (for those bullshit "pre-sale" tickets) and I have contacted them numerous times at every last email address that I can find. Not a single reply. They are thieves.
Lol, nice web site. Sheesh, backend's fucked
wait a minute.... they didn't say the presale is for VIP only. So that's $525 per ticket + fees. Yikes... might have to dispute my charge.
wot presale m8? This website looks broken...
I AM SO EXCITED!!!
Trying this question again for whoever didn't catch it the first time-
Does anyone know if pre-sale tickets will be Will-Call? Were they in the past? And will there just be VIPs or Regular tickets as well?
the "Presale" for Tool Army members is usually for a VIP package. VIP tickets are usually $499 per ticket and includes a meet and greet, Q & A and ticket to the show as well as first dibs on merchandise before the show venue opens. At least that how it was at 2 of the 3 I've been to. These usually aren't a presale for regular seats because these are being sold by TOOL, much higher priced and unreal seats - 5 row and 7th rows for me. Also note, you won't get these tickets until the show to prevent scalping, they are giving during the meet and greet (if they are doing that) or will be at the venue will call if there is no meet and greet. Being that the shows are so close together - i think this will just be for a killer seat, but still usually about $499. I hope this helps some of you.
This was very, very helpful. Thanks so much for the info!
...then why the fuck did they lead everyone on thinking it was a presale for regular tickets?
Feeling Swamped anyone?
My warning meant nothing.
You're dancing in quicksand.
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in.
And you may never come back again.
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker.
I hope it sucks you down.
Wander in and wandering.
No one even invited you in.
But still you stumble in stumbling.
So suffocate
Or get out while you can.
No one told you to come.
I hope it sucks you down.
I hope we can buy regular tickets, because I don't have $500! I just spent $50 for Tool Army, I hope it wasn't for a key chain...
Been struggling tryna get my TA membership squared away. Got VIP last time they were in SLC in 2016, and it was pretty seamless, but with the issues in having with the site, and the inability to get a response from tech support, I'm moderately concerned. If y'all tech support folk read this board, can I get a little help here?
Yeah it would be awesome. Finally got a response back and said I don’t have an account. I’m a lifetime member. And sent them a pix but no response back.
Xanax barS are not helping
Don't know if you're having the same issue I was but I had to switch to google chrome and the website worked fine after that.
Lifetime membership but the Tool Army site seems to be not working. dang it.....
Anyone else having those issues?
I can still go buy Tool Army clothes so assume it's still good to go.
Yup toolarmy has nothing to read or offer. I just signed up. Wtf? I can read more on the bands site. Help us!
Got a reply from Fri yesterday that said I didn’t even have a membership. Smh. Lifetime member
Hello
Does anyone have any idea what prices will be for this tour (specifically the Toronto shows... Ticketmaster has no info yet, apparently)?
LA shows have $59-$175 as the price range.
Houston $59-$135
Where are you guys seeing these prices?
New York $65-$199
Where are you getting prices? Looking for Detroit prices.
$59.50 - $139.00 in Tulsa. The links under each tour date.
Toronto shows will go for CAD $65.50 - $245.50 (cannot recall where I saw that today but it was a legit website - not that this website was selling the tix. They only mentioned the prices for the TO shows).
I don't see prices when following the link to the detroit show
does someone knows how to get the membership early bird tickets? I am counting on a link tomorrow but what should I expect? never bought the membership before cause I live outside the states and shipping here was hell until about a year ago... anyways planning on coming to denver for my birthday!! lml Please if you know something don't be an ass and reply... tx
Under TA In the official store. Won’t be there till tomorrow I’m assuming.
Hello all. Not trying to beat a dead horse, but just to clarify, the presale is at 10 local time TO THE VENUE I want to attend, correct? East coast would be EST at 10A?
Correct and the pre-sale is in the band store through this site.
It's after 10 AM. I'm not seeing any way to purchase tickets through the store?
Not sure if it has anything to do with my last post having a 3PM time stamp on it but my local time and time of venue of choice is 10 AM?
Also......I signed up and paid for a membership years ago. Like maybe a decade or more. Do I need to "re-subcribe" a.k.a. fork over another 50 bucks to be able to get in on the presale tickets for this tour? Is it an annual $50 charge or is it a once and done $50 charge for lifetime membership privileges?
If you're waiting today you're a day early. pre-sale wednesday not tueday... i know we're all eager but just 1 more day :P
OMG you're right it's tomorrow...LMAO. Ive been going nuts on web pages for like the last 20 minutes profusely swearing. HA. Thanks for the heads up!
https://toolband.com/news/2019/tool-record-release-and-north-american-tour-info/ its not Sept 4th yet
Does anyone know which part of the store the presale will be located in? "Official Store" or "Exclusive Products"?
Week two of anxious waiting, I feel a heart attack coming on...
Just won tickets to the Indy show from a local radio station! Perfect way to end a night of work and begin a new day! Thank you universe..
Which station?
93.9
I would assume
98.9 the bear out of Ft. Wayne IN.
Nice BeAr Rocks
Good luck to all in getting tickets!!
Beating tired bones
Tripping through, remember when
Once invincible
Now the armor’s wearing thin.
My favorite passage from the album, I can only imagine what it would be like having to live up to the expectations of this highly anticipated album. As Maynard puts it we won’t understand what they were doing on this album for 7 years. I’m still digesting 10,000 days and Lateralus. I think it’s a timeless masterpiece that people will be talking about it for decades to come.
10 local time. Is it that Pacific time or the time zone of the venue they're performing?
Derp!!!
Epic

Two GA tickets for the Washington DC show already selling for $1000 (incl fees, taxes) on Stubhub. WTF?!?!
Supply and Demand!!!!
Not supply and demand StubHub don't even have those tickets yet there just promise to StubHub threw the venue. Shit should be illegal!
I certainly hope the pre-sale won't be just VIP tickets. I can't afford anything extravagant.
I had joined sometime around 2000 or so, but I haven't heard back from support, and I didn't want to miss out on the pre-sale.
It comes with the territory of an aging fan base that there's a sizable chunk that has plenty of disposable income, and they're just stoked to have the opportunity to meet and greet. I don't blame them, I just want to not get hosed with regular tickets and get to the show.
New Army member here. How does one get involved in the presale? Where do I go to grab tickets?
I second this! It says the presale tickets will be available via the "BAND'S WEBSTORE"--do they literally mean the under the "Store" tab on toolband.com?
What level of membership do I need to be at for presale tickets? Does it require the $49.99 Tier?
you have to pay the 50 bucks to join tool army, and pay every yr thereafter. It should auto debit ur card every yr.
the "Presale" for Tool Army members is usually for a VIP package. VIP tickets are usually $499 per ticket and includes a meet and greet, Q & A and ticket to the show as well as first dibs on merchandise before the show venue opens. At least that how it was at 2 of the 3 I've been to. These usually aren't a presale for regular seats because these are being sold by TOOL, much higher priced and unreal seats - 5 row and 7th rows for me. Also note, you won't get these tickets until the show to prevent scalping, they are giving during the meet and greet (if they are doing that) or will be at the venue will call if there is no meet and greet. Being that the shows are so close together - i think this will just be for a killer seat, but still usually about $499. I hope this helps some of you.
Ok. How the hell is Vivid Seats already selling tickets to the show?
Ya, vendors are allotted a certain amount of tickets per show and that’s what they’re thinking they’ll be able to get for said tickets. Don’t worry and just be ready for the pre sale!
Read the fine print on Vivid's site. You are guaranteed tix in the general area of a specific section or they will refund you. Obviously they have their own share of bots ready to scoop them all up come 6 Sept.
Floor seats priced so modestly at over $500 for the Detroit show. Fucking bastards
Good luck to everybody on all their TOOL endeavors! May you find infinite the discoveries! I love you all, so spiral out and be kind to one another! Good luck once again, I love the new album! I call it, PERFECT. Spiral out! BUNS VAGINA PENIS for no reason.
Ok, so serious question.. Is the pre-sale thats happening going to include regular seats as well as the VIP? Not sure im doing the VIP but would love to be able to obtain some descent seats at the venue.. Thanks
Nope
Yes
If they do what they did for 10’000 days then Yes
Do I need to be a $49.99 paid member for presales?
Does anyone have experience with previous pre-sale events for Tool Army members? What is the experience like? I noticed there are already resale tickets out for sale on Stubhub and other 3rd party sites. This spells doom already for most seeking to get tickets to the various shows.
Been a while since they had a presale. Last one I managed to score tix from didn't provide a confirmation email or anything. You had to cross your fingers. In the end my tix where held at will call where Tool Army had the entire floor in Jax Fl Coliseum to themselves. Though I'd much rather have seats with a decent view.
Same. Picked 'em up @ "Will-Call". Store works pretty smooth. Can't remember to much lag or anything crazy. And it was the last pre-sale I'm talking about. I'm not positive, but that may have been the ONLY.
Lissa you mentioned "store works pretty smooth". This is my first time getting ticks through the Tool Army presale. It seems like us newbies (to this method) are wondering about this store. So we literally go to the *STORE* option in the toolbar and there will be a selection to click on for presale tix? As long as I'm signed in, I can go ahead and purchase correct? Come here tomorrow and not ticketmaster is essentially what I need to know.
good question-you probably wont get an answer.
I assume that it will be in the "exclusive products" when you drag your mouse over the store, since it is only for Tool Army members. Luckily, I am trying for LA tickets, so I will be able to see how the east coast show dates go before having to do it myself.
I know last time I got tickets back in like 2005 or so. There were very strict rules, like you had to live 90 miles away from the venue. I hope that is not the case for this presale.
I really wished that they provided us more info but oh well... good luck tomorrow everyone.
Does anyone know what price to expect for VIP? Trying to plan
$1k
$500 is what they have been in the past.
I’ve been hearing $500 as well which is feasible for me.
500
Can someone tell me exactly what link in the menu is the BAND STORE? I’m a TA member and it’s says pre sale is in the BAND STORE. That specificity is nowhere on the menu options. Thanks in advance Rock Tool Forever!
Pretty sure its the "official store" under the menu. Good luck!
It is not in there as of now.
Under the TA option in the official store menu in upper right corner. There’s nothing as of now. Keep your eyes open Wednesday morning.
The news arrives as the band announces a six-week North American tour, launching the trek on Oct. 13 at the Aftershock Festival. Tickets are on-sale Sept. 6 at 10 am local time, with a limited number of tickets will be available to Tool Army members on Sept. 4.

So is the web store their referring to the one that is listed if u click thr 3 lines in the top right corner? Or is there another one?
There's a Tool Army section in the official store, go to the store then click the 3 lines in the right corner, maybe that's where the ppresale tix will be
I have done that and nothing pops up and I don’t even know where to login at
Thanks for this great Music! Loving every second of Fear Inoculum. I`m hoping fpr an eu-tour. Especially Germany or Netherlands would be great :)
Cheers! to the Doktor! Hear that man! And listen to the aerial gold he's talking about! ; )
Are there more copies of the Limited Edition version of the CD still being manufactured and distributed?
...after Lateralus I learned to put my head down and patiently wait until the new album is out. This time I got wrapped up in life, missed the preorders everywhere and have a full-time job that preempted waiting outside a record shop on release day... so... are there more on the way that I should look-out for and be prepared for when the time comes or should I resign myself to finding justification for spending $200+ on one of the copies up on Amazon?
(seriously- I can feel my Salival DVD glaring at me from it's spot on the top shelf of my 'cherished books and other media' bookcase... help?)
You could try contacting RCA and ask them if they are producing anymore.
I'm sure they have an operator standing by, waiting to take my call. Holiday and all...
Be nice, he was just trying to help! ????
They have them in record stores. Though record stores are hard to find. I managed to find one at a Barnes & Noble.
Keep checking puscifer.com. They put some up when they are available.
Since when do they celebrate Labor Day over there in India? Hahaha
Probably a silly question, but do we just need our TA login to buy presale tickets?
When they relaunched the site a few years ago I remember getting an email to reset my password for the store, but I didn’t get around to it for a year or two and by that point the link was no longer valid.
I did mine a few months ago. I just clicked "forgot password" on the sign-in screen and I was able to change it.
My email had changed several times over the last decade. I sent TA an email. They searched the records found my info updated my email address and sent me a link for a new PW.
Thank you both!
This is my theory on fear inoculum and how it applies to the album and it’s concepts.
It’s central theme is duality or yin and yang theory. The central image of the album it the two headed twisted being.
One one of the Being seems positive (absence of fear is love)and the other end seems more destructive to say the least, negative. Both ends contain the aspects of the other. The central part of the lyrics are the Grayest areas where both aspects of the being are twisted or mixed.
As you travel through the track list starting with recusant ad infinitum then through the regular 10 track list the songs progress through the pictures being starting at its positive head moving towards the destructive end (7empest)
At track 1 fear inoculum we are at the most positive point lyrically and as the songs progress the move from light and positive to more dark and muddy subjects
Recustant ad infinitum, fear inoculum, pneuma, litanie contre la pour, invincible , legion inoculant take you from the head of the positive side to its central point (at about 46 min in length) each track is positive but the increased amount of dark as you move from the head towards the center point
Descending, culling voices, chocolate chip trip, 7empest, and mocking beat (travel from the center of the being towards the destructive head. As each track progresses there is more darkness and less positivity (the length of these tracks is Aprox 46 min
The concept theory is based of the interpretation of lyrics trying to understand the split in concepts presented within the lyrics, the video in the cd and the great turn concept. I also wanted to k ow why it was necessary to ad the segues in. The cd has 7 tracks why have more digital tracks. Upon hearing them the first thing noticed is two of them sound similar to the video sounds. It instantly invoked images remembered from watching the video. With my theory in mind, it makes the transition more possible.
Think the ringing sound in that opens in fear inoculum and the scratching screeches found in mocking beat also echo these concepts.
What I want to try is to reverse the track order
Mockingbeat
7empest
Chocolate chip trip
Culling voices
Descending
Legion inoculant
Invincible
Litanie contre la Peur
Pneuma
Fear inoculum
Matt, I see that you are also a Radiohead fan. My all time favorite band. I’ve seen them 3 times. Would have been four if not for the unfortunate stage collapse in Canada. Such a sad day. I hope I get to see tool for the 1st time! I’ve waited a long time for this show. Thanks for the thoughtful insight on the new album.
Radiohead is amazing. I have this print on my wall framed up (night bears). I hope to see tool in Hawaii again. Or perhaps AU or NZ. Someday I’ll see Radiohead live. Thanks for taking the time to reflect on my “drunken history” theory of the albums points of conception
Yes...yes... that is a wonderful interpretive thesis. It makes sense then that album is truly an allegorical elegy... it is a poem written to lament the death of self and yet its hopeful nature points to the hidden meaning of what we all are... one. The sequential order also makes sense as we struggle from separateness and duality to become one as in 1, the number 1 track. Invincible then might be the last vestiges of our monkey mind...our warring nature as it struggle to remain relevant...consequential. I really like this interpretation... gonna keep exploring. Cheers!
Yay.
Does anyone know what VIP entails this time around? I can't seem to find information on it anywhere
We are incredibly fucking stoked!...to say the least. Plane tickets and hotel are booked, just counting down to pre-sale! What a great age for Tool fans everywhere
Where do we find the presale info? I'm not seeing anything on TA??
Same here, Buckley. I am just waiting for presale info now... lol
I am stressed, I don't see anything about my presale code yet :(
new tool army member long time fan. Definitely getting vip for cleveland. this will make my 3rd time seeing them but 1st time not at festival. I should be able to enjoy it much more with out crowd surfers every damn minute of the show.
Seriously I feel sorry for the rest of the music industry as this album has taken over my life.
Can’t do anything without 10-15 minutes at a time. Staying in my Jeep waiting to open the store after the song is over employees waiting on me. Sorry you can’t interrupt them. PERIOD.
Can’t wait to see 7empest live. Invincible live was life changing as I’ve been to 1,000’s of shows and never has one song changed my life or the wives.
Can’t wait!
???☠️??
So excited to have the Limited edition copy in my hands!!! Well worth the wait!!! Can't wait to see them in Indy VIP!!
Pre sale will be found in band’s webstore on September 4th local time to the venue. Not sure what is so confusing about that to so many...I’m sure more details will be posted before then but until then, let’s all get back to the new album! I’m thankful they are actually doing a presale for us. Oh yeah, what is this about vinyl?!!!
Pneuma, how fucking great is this track? Justin, Danny and Adam are brilliant! The title track is great but my soul was sold after hearing the 2nd track on the album! That build up and fucking jam in the middle is epic. Eyes full of wonder. Please TOOL on the set list it goes?
Invincible cuts into me just to see if I still bleed. Questioning my comfortable complacency, am I not to reach for more and recast the legacy I leave? Crunchy fucking beats drive me forward with mystical layers drawing me in.
Descending we go to depths only the sea knows. Allowing us to create the trenches which we explore, Maynard elevating us to breathe while we explore the depths of our disillusioned imaginations. Adam driving the reasoning back into our souls, Danny and Justin making certain we swim down for more.
Culling Voices in our head to reason with ourselves the reality we have created. Questioning all we experience to a delusional existence. Adam and Justin tenderly leading us back to a point of reason till we recognize our delusion, Danny hammering in the nails allowing us to rise from our former selves to that of an awakened sense of our existence.
CCTrip, just close your eyes and let it take hold...DANNY!!!
7empest FUCK! Adam drives it from the start and is relentless with the riffs, letting Justin and Danny play in the landscape he provides, expansive, and expounding throughout. Maynard, brilliant as ever, layers in beautifully bringing us to recognize the deceiver among us all. Holy shit Adam this is fucking brilliant! Justin making sure we don’t stray too far and Danny holding us true...Now where did my whiskey go???
Pre-sale will be found where exactly on toolband.com?
I'm pretty sure it's going to be under the Tool Army section of the store.
It’s just a bit confusing. I’m green so it’ll take a minute to figure it out. I’m just so stoked about all of this...new album and tour! I saw them a few years back in Tulsa and then again the same year in Little Rock. Just don’t wanna miss out on the pre sale if you know what I mean!
Cluster F*ck! No information about pre sale and haven’t received a pre sale code from Tool Army yet! The information on this page is not very helpful either!
There will be a link to click on when they go on sale
There are already links for the upcoming shows. Will the pre sale link be amongst them are separate? I don’t wanna miss out
I don’t know if they are running the presale through ticketscalper or the the bands webstore...My guess is they will be separate links in the bands webstore that direct you to ticketscalper. VIP will be run through the webstore, this is how it was handled in the past. My assumption is the general ticket presale and VIP will be in the store under the ToolArmy section...currently there is nothing in there but my thought is when they become available this is where you will find the links. Maybe this helps?? Hope we are all able to get the tickets to the shows we want, and have faith we will✌️
It sounds easy enough guess. Let’s hope it’s a smooth process! ??
its good
Has anyone found any information about VIP packages? Is local time referring to my local time? Any where do I go to get tickets on the 4th? Is it the store on this website? Help
Wish you guys were coming back to Kansas City. Had a blast last time around, but I get it. May just take a road trip to Tulsa. We love you guys here, just know that.
Picked up the new album yesterday. Danny was right, it's like nothing else. It's TooL to the bone. I love it. I'm on my 7th or 8th listen through and it just never gets old. Just makes me want more!
Superb work guys! Much thanks for the new material and hope to see you come through Kansas City in the future (hopefully near future)?. No doubt it will be an awesome concert. Thanks for you guys just being genuine!
I can't find anything about the presale for Tool Army members. And I saw someone else say that got an email, but I haven't???
Website says there will be a limited ticket presale on September 4th @ 10 am local time... on the bands webstore. Are they referring to the store on this website? I would assume so but not sure.
hey im in the same boat...trying to go on their website it aint clear
Nice to have you back Tool
Im sorry, am i missing something here??? Can i just buy a regular physical copy of the cd? I know thats crazy in todays age. or at least a .wav format of the album? All i can find is mp3, seams kind of slap in the face...
They sold copies you must have missed it. I will say it’s absolutely amazing if that makes you feel better.
Did I see vinyl announcement soon?
Oh yeah!!!
Fantastic release. Epic, journeying, melodic and heavy. I love it all!!
With the exception of Aenima, I usually gotta listen to their new releases a few times to appreciate it. But this one like Aenima, was love at first listen. Not saying either one of these two are my favorite. But that's just how some of Tool's cd's are to me. Another bad ass release from the guys.
I and friend(s) will hopefully be at the Halloween show. How are tickets being listed already for sale on Stubhub?
Do all early tickets go on sale at the same time or 10AM for the time zones of each venue?
Salut à tous!
Quelques mots:
Merci du fond du coeur!
Que ce message parvienne aux intéressés et à tous les contributeurs de ce cadeau que TOOL nous a offert hier!
Merci infiniment!
Saïd (FRANCE)
Hi everybody!
Some words:
Thank you from the heart!
May this message reach the interested parties and all the contributors of this gift that TOOL gave us yesterday!
Thank you so much!
Saïd (a french guy))
I assume it's a 4 ticket limit PER SHOW. If I wanted to go to 2 different shows, I would think I could buy 4 for each not just 2 and 2. Also, I wonder if they're doing different tier VIP tickets like many bands or just the one big VIP like they've done previously. Will it be the $500 Adam Jones thing or APC type options? Hopefully, they give more details prior to the pre-sale day and that tickets are not so limited for Tool Army fans - we've paid and waited for this opportunity. Also, I hope the site handles the demand. I'm so happy this day has finally come!
I am hoping that it's like in the past where it was for the sound check and meet and great with the band (minus MJK), some free march, and front row or so
With salt-crusted glasses the only thing I can say at the moment: thank you! A gift to world cultural heritage! Or to world heritage! Or it's headstone!
I know, I know... "learn to swim" and stuff.... but !!!PLEASE!!! come to Europe again!!! Bring cookies and vinyl!
Oh, and my neighbors want me to say hi! as well ; )
We are all One Spark, eyes full of wonder.
PS: Songs are too short ; )
Finally, in the fucking Tool Army. Thank you for all the hard work you guys put into this album. I couldn't have cried any more. Lost my best friend, my soul sister, Stephanie White, just three months ago yesterday. She was able to see ya rock out The Gorge back in the summer of 2017. We love you, Tool. So fuck yeah I blasted the fuck out of your masterpiece, spiraling out Highway 101. Can't wait to see you all on tour. Love your vocals Maynard, always have, from Tool, to A Perfect Circle. Adam per usual rips the guitar -loved your interview in the guitar magazine, read that shit on just a cap and stem and then listened to Lateralus right after -to be inspired. Listened to your interview with Joe, Danny. You had me rolling! You're one fucking solid dude. I have a 3.5yr old daughter, Kemaya, and I listened to your advice to parents, and am relieved to know that I'm doing it right by her. Justin, your bass is killer alongside Danny, one of the best duos to do it, keep pulling and slapping those strings. To the end ۞
Thank you.
Pure and simple.
Thank you to these four mad beautiful geniuses
that gave us a masterpiece worthy of the 13 years.
Will we see 10,000 Days on vinyl as well?
its already been released on vinyl https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=tool+10000+days+vinyl&ul_noapp=true
John, those are all bootlegs - as are almost all Aenima copies being sold for under $100. There isn't an official vinyl release for 10,000 Days (yet).
Uff! Gracias por este regalo! Estoy fascinado con fear inoculum de principio a fin! Los esperamos en Sudamérica!
Congratulations on the album release guys. Well done. The portraits by Sean Cheetham are exquisite.
Thank for posting this I was wondering who did them. They are superb.
Does anyone know if pre-sale tickets will be Will-Call? Were they in the past? And will there just be VIPs or Regular tickets as well?
I want to know what the smallest venue will be on the tour.
I hate arena rock locations.
Smaller and more intimate locations are obviously better.
Have money - Will travel
Not happening on this tour. Money money and more money. Going to set records with this tour 6 weeks at a time!
Big production
Wishful thinking though.
Hello...... MPLS? Skipping us again??!!
Does the VIP package include a night where Adam and I can go see Lucha VaVoom together? Asking for myself.
I walked into work this am knowing I had my pre-ordered copy of the limited edition just waiting for me @ my local record store. You could NOT wipe the fuck'n grin off my face! LOL! I told everyone...just TRY to piss in my wheaties today. No matter the situation, big or small, I just smiled. ;)))))) <3 TOOL!
I was waiting by the door like a kid waiting on Santa.
IKR!!! It's Like a TOOL X-MAS!!!! All day long my co-workers just laughed @ me. Then, a fellow co-worker told me that TOOL announced tour days (and he don't even like/listen to TOOL. From that moment...
I was cashed. One foot, two arms, out the fuck'n door. And it wasn't even noon! LMMFAO!
This album is a real sight for sore eyes.
Ok someone please help me!!!! I am part of the tool army. Badass!! Looked at the pre sale info and it says available on the band store. Do I go into the official store. And there will be an option or do I goto the official store then the menu as select the Tool army section? Please help me!! I’m new to the membership part of this site. ROCK TOOL.
it's usually in the exclusive section....been a while since I've done this on here though
Ok thanks. Appreciate the help
Best day ever!
Today has been magical. Beyond worth the wait. Words cannot express my emotions & all the happy feels! My ears, my mind, my body went on a fucking awesome ride today listening to this masterpiece. Thank you MJK, Justin, Danny & Adam.
Something (important) forgotten..!! (Once again) a masterpiece!! We hope that we cant see you again on Tour in gemany (to all..have fun at the concerts) Greetings from germany!! Bleibt geil
Absolutely incredible. Put some headphones on and close your eyes. You feel every note filling your head and coursing through your veins.
Very well done!!
Masterpiece! Can’t wait to listen for years and years! Boston and Mohegan here I come!!
Thanks TOOL!
Thank you TOOL, This day is the best of the year. Love Fear Inoculum with all my heart ❤️ can’t wait to see you guys on 10/27 ??? spiral out, keep going ?
Song for song (for me, the whole album is actually a single song,in different subdivisions) nuclear meltdown in my brain!! A masterpiece...thanks tool!! Greetings from germany!!!
PURE and GLORIOUS! I love the new album. Super excited for tour but not coming to Washington State this time, which is devastating. Please add the Gorge to your tour as soon as possible. Tool Army will show up in FORCE
This album is a masterpiece!!! I'm in love already! Been on repeat since 8am. All of the members were incredible on this album. I can't get enough, Danny's a beast on those drums and I love Maynards voice. Undertow is my favorite album but I'm putting this one up there with it as well. Excellent album!! Thank you so much Maynard, Adam, Danny and Justin you guys did it again!! I'll see you guys in Cleveland, Pittsburg Cincinnati and Raleigh.
It's finally here! After 13 years no less. But as the saying goes; " the best things in life are worth waiting for!"
I'm equally glad that they put Detroit on the tour list! Can't wait.
I am a bit confused about the Tool Army situation tho. I signed up and paid weeks ago and went to the "Membership" section and it said "Free Tier"!? I don't get it. I paid weeks ago and nothing on the site seemed to work back then either.
Never the less I put my CC info in again just to be sure. But apparently still says "Free Tier". Still hoping for the best.
They have totally re-done TOOL Army since I became a member years ago. If you're on FFB (fuck'n facebook~LOL) you may want to try reaching out to Al Jones. And yes, that is Adam's bro. ;)
& BTW, won't miss them in the "D" :)))))
Thanx Lissa, see ya there! ; )
I’m going to do multiple shows instead of VIP for one. I did the music clinic last year.
So excited for this tour. The guys have really pulled together a plethora of mathamusical material on FI. Love the tracks and just received my Limited Edition CD today too. I hope I can score presale tix on this site for Toronto, ON. With Love from Canada. Happy Listening.
I joined the TOOL ARMY membership two weeks ago!!
! dont know anything I haven't get any info or my merch I!!
can anybody tell me what's going on with the TOOL ARMY?
It took me about like 6 weeks I think before I got my stuff after ordering it.
I would also keep in mind the number of people joining Tool Army now to get presale tickets might delay shipping your order a bit longer, but you'll get it. Six weeks is good estimate.
Fear Inoculum is amazing. It sounds so good.
The sound engineering on this album is sex on acid. Like, HOLY FUCK! The tone, the sonic space of the album is incredible. Sounds sooooo gooood. My mind is blown.
It's like an in-body out of body experience. I have consumed no exogenous psychedelics today and my nervous system is in flavour country. Hallelujah!
Exactly!! I'm with you there.
Please tell me there's a VIP option! Last time was unbelievable! ...except we got shafted out of our signed posters, cuz they hadn't unloaded them yet, and they went VERY quick once they showed up to the regular merch table.
When you're logged in as a paid member, does the Tool Army link go anywhere? I just see a blank Tool Army News page.
That's what I see too.
Same here
Been like that for a little bit now, it used to be a chat for TA members and occasionally some news or a pic was posted. The main news feed is where most pertinent news is posted.
*coughs* and a fuck ton of GD Rick Astley. LMMFAO!
Will The VIP Tickets Be On The Webstore As Well?
I Can't Seem To Find Any Info On This Site.
Any Help From A Fellow Soldier Would Be Appreciated.
Spiral Out. Keep Going.
GRIZZ.
Generally VIP is in the webstore with their own links to each location that it is being offered at. I think the last couple go arounds was like 500 but that comes with merch, really good seats, sound check and sometimes a meet with Adam, Justin and Danny! It is worth it if you can afford, or if the people you are going with can afford.
Spiral Out
Do we click on link provided for presale? Or do we go into store? I seen it states that we have to go into web store. Just curious so I’m not wasting time trying to purchase tickets.
If its not September 4th you are wasting your time!
Thank you guys for a truly incredible album and listening adventure. We will see you guys in Detroit.
Indeed in the "D" :)
Will the pre-sale tickets be sold on here?
Does anyone know how the tool army presales work? do we get emailed a code or what? ill be checking back so if you know please reply
I’m wondering the same thing
My guess is they will be in the TA exclusive store Sept. 4 not totally clear on local time but assuming they will have links to each date that you can then select?
I followed the link in the email using several different internet browsers. I did not see a code in any of the browsers to use during checkout. It says to "use the code below", but there isn't any code shown. I even tried selecting all text on the page thinking it was black text on a black background, but still nothing. I'm feeling swindled.
I've done a ton of searching and not finding anything on tool army presale information. I too hope they email us with a little more detail. Wednesday will b here soon
Just registered for Tool Army. The code to claim the merch does not show whenever clicking "REDEEM". Who can help? Thank you!
Same thing happened to me
Myehhh what to do, what to do
We been bamboozled
Same here. Got charged twice. Once for membership, once for bundle. Contact orders@toolband TWICE and never received a response. Have not received refund.
May not allow “new” members access to it until others who have been here like myself for decade plus.
Just like the album in time we will find out
try using another web browser. It worked for me today using firefox.
Thanks Braedon McGann but still not working
I got an email about redeeming the bundle, I followed that and there was a code you have to copy before you go to the order link. At first it will show a price but when you put the code into the discount code box, it will zero it out and you just have to pay for shipping. Not sure if that helps. I just ordered mine today and it worked alright.
I followed the link in the email. Took me to a page that says "use the code below" but there is no code on the page
no code on my end either. wtf
I followed the link in the email using several different internet browsers. I did not see a code in any of the browsers to use during checkout.

Just signed up myself... couldn't get it to work on a laptop so I tried my iphone... link worked and i received a code that i pasted into the final check out before shipping... it worked. I had to pay shipping 6.95 USPS. Hope this helps. The code to paste in is right after the the instructions... kinda goofy and a little cryptic... i had to copy it and then paste it a few screens later where it wanted to charge me for the merch.
Thank you TOOL for remembering your fans in NC! So happy about the Raleigh show! And it ust happens to be on my birthday!!!
SongKick shows A Perfect Circle also playing in Detroit on November 9th.
Is this gonna be like one of those scenes out of a 90s sitcom, where MJK keeps saying 'I'll be right back' so he can cover both obligations?! Hmm
That was 2018 @ the Masonic Temple. And it was amazing! ;)
Freaked the fuck out when I saw the tour pop up on FB. Last time I saw them was at Aftershock and we were in a sea of thousands of people. I was pissed the whole time because I couldn't see shit and couldn't hear great, either. This time I will literally go anywhere on this tour I can get tickets for, best seats possible. Sell a kidney if I have to. Fuck it, all in! I am DEDICATED to this, haha!
ROTMFFLMGDAO! :)
Any idea of what the ticket limit is for the pre-sale? Two tickets or 4, etc?
Ticketmaster says strict limit of 4
Think only 2 for VIP’s could be wrong though
Is it just me, or did the album not come with a charging cable? I think they went battery instead with that insert.
Charging cable is in the bottom beneath the screen - look on the left hand side (it is a hollow gap where the cord is stored).
Careful stuffing sausage fingers in there! Grab a small pair of needle nose pliers or something to get it started, I would have been 3 knuckles deep trying to fish mine out.
I found it. I am a Sausage Fingers boy.
Will need 3 VIP for the SLC show. Born again, again.
I really hope the limit is 4. Cause if it’s 2 that’s gonna mess some people up.
The package for the Limited Release is outstanding! Totally blown away by it bravo Adam that is an experience all on its own. Love the smell of the ink fresh off the press? The album is...well I’ll let you decide but on CCTrip, with my 2 channel setup, it felt like Danny was either in my living room, or I was teleported to the studio 11 feet away from the front of his set! Really though, fantastic job guys can’t wait to dig into the layers of this one much love and thanks for the tour!!! See you in Milwaukee TOOL?
Great Stuff having Pre-sales for Tool Army members. I still haven't got a pot to piss in but still great news
And will there be any other canadian citys for the NA tour? I mean Toronto is not the belly button of Canada for god sake!
Overwhelmed with joy. Thus begins the next chapter in Tool's story.
presale 10 am PT time? or Eastern time?
It said "local time"
Thanks tips, Local time from LA? Montreal? or Maybe Toronto because according to them they are the center of the universe
local to the show your buying tickets for ya
Daniel thank you
Will Tool ever tour with that 6 ft. disco ball again? That thing was fuckin magical :)
Waited 13 years for this album... I was a senior in high school when 10,000 days came out, now I’m 30 years old. Nothings changed just as much of a fan as I was back then.
Thank you Maynard, Justin, Danny and Adam for the music, art and elevated state of collective consciousness! Truly Blessed to have you all in our lives!
Album and tour announcement all in same day?! Best TOOL day ever!
And I have the day off too! Absolutely best tool day ever can't wait for the show!
I listened to the CD twice last night, fell asleep and BOOM!!!! Hit with the news of a tour this morning...woke up with a hard on and lost my pen!
I took the day off as well. This is a good Tool day.
So excited for this. This is your best album packaging to date and totally worth it. Here comes the VIP ticket! See you guys soon.
Take my money :)
Yup!
Event links up and active now.
Next VIP info?!?!?
i bought this TA thing last release to try and take my terminally ill buddy to a concert, without luck. he's dead now, so i really, REALLY hope i can get the presale tickets. i tried to buy them last time but it didn't work, and although i did get to see one show i missed the one at red rocks in denver because i was in georgia taking care of my father-in-law's estate. this might be the last chance i have to go. i am not tech savvy. how does this work?
Does anybody know if presale codes will be emailed to us? And will the presale include regular tickets or just the VIP tickets?
they usually just have a link on the tool army site and you link to the tickets from there and you shouldn't need a password. Then again maybe you will. Last time I bought tickets you didn't .
Thank you! Fingers crossed it’s not just the VIP tickets available.
Any more dates to comes for 2020, Montreal??
Holy shitballs.
I am assuming more information will be posted throughout the day/week.
No Dallas.
So, SAN ANTONIO IT IS!
I have had a TA membership since 2011.
Never have I ever had the choice or opportunity to purchase a pre-sale ticket.
There's no link for Houston date!
Will we be getting an email for pre-sale and VIP?
Super glad Toronto is on the list
Seriously, I’m very curious how the limited tickets work on Sept 4th. I’ve been a tool army member for over 10 years, never used a benefit. I’d love to get first dibs before the general public. How does it work?
HAHAHAHA THIS ALBUM FKING OWNS! Y'all got my head banging at midnight last night til about NOW; cannot wait for the VINYL. Thank you TOOL! LOVE Y'ALL and cannot wait to stalk you all down again this fall!!!
I can’t wait!!!! Will we be getting emails with presale codes?!?!?!
Finally multiple shows in my area! See you in Newark...AND Brooklyn...AND Atlantic City!!!
u r very lucky myfriend... planning to come from costa rica to denver show
+1 on VIP info for me too
Adam, Danny, Justin, Maynard. Thank you.
My membership expired and I’m on the free tier of ToolArmy. I can still post comments though. You think I can still have access to the presale? I’m not sure who to contact about this
I'm in the same boat and wondering the same thing!
looks like you have access right now, being able to post and log in suggests that your status is still good, but I would email the moderator of the site just to make sure.
this was the email I contacted:
ifsdsupport@fullscreen.net
Good Luck, maybe do a pseudo buy on the toolarmy-only merch and see if that works, if it does, I'd assume you have access to the tickets.
I was also in this position. But to be safe, I went ahead and paid for a new membership. Came with a killer tshirts, some stickers, a patch, and a keychain. And of course, the official membership certificate. Happy Tool Day!!!
Any chance you might have recieved a discount code from them to get said march, not seeing that and that Ould be kinda nice?
has anyone ever purchased tickets with a tool army membership? do we receive a presale code or anything? Also i'm assuming local time as in California. 10:00 am PDT, is that correct?
In the past, Looong ago, they sent out an access code via TA only post. Tickets were incredible seats.
Thanks, Greg! Fingers crossed they do this again
thanks for the help, best of luck to everyone purchasing tickets
Were the tickets mailed to you or Will Call?
www.toolarmy.com no longer a valid url...
anyone know why the Cleveland date doesn't have a web link for tickets? Only date without a link
Please add OR WA NorCal NV dates asap, thanks T?L!!
???????
They'll be at Aftershock that's northcal
Come back to Portland, Oregon.. We have many venues!! Stay a week, a day, a year!!
Ps... I'm waiting on my copies of the collector's edition.. Hoping the screen vids , music and packaging are cool
They are fucking rad!
I did not realize that there are different printed backs to these... Way to cool.. Now the race to collect them all!! Let the madness begin.....
presale at 10am EST? or....
Local time
I assume 10am local to the venue. Typical for most pre-sales.
thanks!
Yes, we would like to know what the web site's "local" time means. 10am - what time zone, please and thanks.
Your local time zone
Or the time zone of the city if you’re traveling
Do we buy the pre-sale tickets on here?
+1 on the VIP info.
Can't wait!! Reminder set to buy tickets for Raleigh!! Such an exciting time for us Tool fans!!
InFUCKINGdeed ;)
Whats VIP incude
Wonder what the VIP price is and what it includes?
Tool VIP packages have traditionally been $500 with access to a soundcheck (without Maynard) and premium seating within the first few rows. I think many of them have had a meet and greet/photo op with Adam but I'm not sure if that's explicitly advertised.
Yeah. That sounds right from the last ones. Just curious if they are changing it up. Mainly the price. Just want a rail seat is all.
Thanks for the info!!
Yes, photo opportunity with Adam and most of the time Justin and Danny will come join him witj everyone. It's an amazing experience!
Last time they just did a group shot of everyone who had VIP and Danny Justin and Adam were in there at the back
:O
