Tool’s ‘Tour Edition’ of Fear Inoculum Costs Over $800
Are you a Tool fan? Do you have more money than sense? Then friend, have we got a deal for you!
As reported by our second family over at Metal Injection, the experimental nu-metal band (or whatever) have just revealed details for their ‘tour edition’ of 2019 smash album Fear Inoculum. The good news is that it comes with band autographs, specialized art, and more!
The bad news? As shown by the picture on the Tool Reddit page below, this special edition of the record costs $810. EIGHT HUNDRED AND TEN BUCKS.
Think of it this way: if an eighth of weed costs $50, then an ounce costs $400. So for that amount of money, you could buy two ounces of decent weed and still have $10 for a used CD of the album from your local record store.
Here’s Tool’s announcement of the new edition, which strangely enough doesn’t mention that it costs your thumbs:
“There’s some late breaking news from the band. Having just received their personal allotment of the forthcoming (TBA) FEAR INOCULUM ULTRA DELUXE LP, they were inspired to offer for sale this very limited number of advance pressings to TOOLARMY VIP PACKAGE holders (taking advantage of their early merch access) beginning with tonight’s show in Philadelphia and extending to the remaining shows in Elmont, Newark, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and so forth, or until there are no more available (prior to the worldwide release that’s projected for sometime in April).
“Furthermore, these early vinyl arrivals (only a tour item for the time being) have been AUTOGRAPHED, adding a personal touch to the cover imagery. The package contains 5 discs of industry best 180g vinyl, with audio tracks on one side and etched art on the reverse of each side of the disc.Though the quantities are very limited, should there be any remaining copies, they will be made available to concert goers at the general merch booth.”
