TOOL have finally announced their opening tour dates in support of their newly released ‘Fear Inoculum.’ I was honestly kind of worried there for a sec. But TOOL have an eleventh hour sort of way about announcing big events. And luckily they came through. It looks like they may be in it for the long haul too.
The band is starting off with a two month North American leg. I’m sure the rest of the world with get their dates coming soon; hopefully. TOOL are also supporting their entire catalog now being available digitally. Their albums are now available on I-tunes and their videos were just made available on YouTube. Honestly, I’m really curious as to why they waited so long to release their material via internet.
Either way, it’s great that TOOL are starting off with a fairly lengthy first leg. They’re hitting all the hot spots. Performing multiple nights at some of the big markets. I for one will be attending the Oct 21st show. Can’t wait to see the light rig. They’ve had so many infamous light rigs so I’m looking forward to the experience. Also, Killing Joke will be opening. A unique band from the British alt era from the early 80’s. And unlike some of their counterparts, they never got the recognition they deserved. Dates are posted below.
