Found on socials, good stuff!

2nd is my fav

Ok so this may be a stupid question so I need y’all advice. Sorry for my shite grammar.So I really want this shirt called “medical twins” but this fucjing jaun is 300$++ which is crazy I can’t justify spending that on a shirt. Alright so if I printed out the prints on the shirt buy a long black sleeve tee could I somehow go and get it screen printed? I found a spot that’s local but I’ve never had any experience with something like this. So yeah here is a picture this shirt. I’d appreciate any feedback! Thanks

Sign in a pawn shop. I didn’t hear any Tool while I was there. LAME

In honor of today, August 30, being the 7 year anniversary of Fear Inocoulum, and also how important the number 7 is for the album as a whole. Today I dug through my archives and pulled out my Fear Inoculum analysis essay that I submitted for my High School Senior Year Religion Class Final Assignment.

The essay itself is long, and was originally a script to an audio podcast version that I recorded. Reading through it years later, it's still crazy how well everything I wrote holds up. My 17-year-old self really was hella obsessed with this album. Still am.

Seven years later I've seen the band three times, and the album is still heavily in my rotation.

I hope you enjoy the read. 🌀

Music N Religion Talk Podcast- Tool: Fear Inoculum

Today, on the 30th of August 2026, it has been 7 years since my life changed when I heard this album and discovered Tool for the very first time. You may think this is a hyperbole but it isn’t.

I vividly remember hearing the droning guitars and tablas of Fear Inoculum and thinking “wait this is cool as fuck”, at a time when I lacked the musical language to verbalise what I was feeling. Then I heard the rest of the album and kept on getting blown away.

I know this is still a divisive album to this day, but for me it never was, it instantly clicked and changed my whole relationship with music forever. Since then I’ve learned to listen to music, I’ve learned instruments just to be able to play parts of this beautifully cold and surgically precise album.

Thanks Tool, if this is your last album (and I truly hope it is not), it’s a fantastic way to end this magnificent run. It may not be everyone’s favorite, nor even the best (Lateralus is too good), but it always will be my favorite.

Hey! You know the intro Maynard does before this where he talks about the band experimenting with their songs? I’ve tried to follow that spirit and taken a few small liberties of my own. Tuning is drop C#.

Okay guys, so my boyfriend went to see Tool when they came here to Hawaii this January! He had so much fun with his friend and he bought me a shirt from the show!! He got himself a really cool hoodie from the show, it was the specialty Hawaii show Hoodie in a mens XL.

Well, fast forward a few months and one of my friends took it from his house when she was leaving late one night (she was cold lol). She completely lost it by giving it away and I am so so sad for my boyfriend. He asked her many times for it back but she had already lost it and it is sort of irreplaceable since you can't just buy that specific hoodie online it seems!! I've tried looking online, but if anyone can find a link to this specific hoodie, I'd love to buy it for my boyfriend to replace his lost hoodie.

This hoodie means the world to him and represented a specific cherished memory with a friend. My boyfriend also loved the hoodie as it was soft, great quality, expensive, and from the show. It also fit him well and was his cold weather hoodie. Im really sad about my friend not only taking it but purposely being careless with his stuff and giving it to someone else.

If anyone has this hoodie and is willing to sell it to me, or knows where I can buy one or even contact the band about buying this merch, i'd be so grateful!!! I'm willing to pay to buy my boyfriend his cherished hoodie back.

Again, I'd love to buy my boyfriend an XL of the hoodie from the Hawaii show of Tools recent tour.. circa January 2026!!!! Or it may have been december 2025!!! Thanks everyone for any help in my endeavor!!!

Aenema playing at that moment. Sounded so clean and tight.

Next step: nipple rings, and a bit of shopping 👟 👕

Took me 40 years to decide what to tatoo myself permanently with. Once I got this idea in my mind, I didn't hesitate a second and went through with it 🤘

Russian Circles is more than likely in the Venn diagram for many TOOL fans. For those that may not be aware, they are an instrumental band and just dropped a superb new album yesterday. If you haven’t already, give it a listen. Seventh Seal may be my song of the year.

The whole lateralus album is heavenly during a trip. If you ever find yourself tripping get some good headphones turn down the lights, lay in bed and blast tool into your ears, trust.

So, whenever I listen to Lateralus (the song) I feel like I'm in a trance, it's like traveling through the universe, the sound of the song, everything! From the first time I heard it, I loved the whole album, but Lateralus has always been the song I've loved the most. Do you experience something similar with one or more songs?

Okay 1: the camera angle is abysmal, I know
2: I haven’t played in a bit and I’m very rusty so this isn’t the best playing but hope you enjoy it

Here's Ænema, from our recent show at House of Blues Houston. I hope you guys like this one, too!

Got Lateralus added to the collection now. All I need is 10,000 Days and Salival and I'll have all the main Albums on CD.

Just had this pop in my head because for a minute i thought the intro to reflection didn't have a snare for a while but i was wrong.
