There’s a new Toolarmy exclusive merch item availalbe for purchase for those with deep pockets:
ToolArmy members will be given the first chance to purchase a LIMITED EDITION custom FRAMED TOOL WALL ART PEICE. HAND NUMBERED and SIGNED by ALL FOUR MEMBERS of the band, these pine WOOD frames (measuring 18″ X 24″) come in your choice of a MATTE BLACK FINISH or GLOSS BLACK FINISH. Strictly LIMITED TO ONLY 50 PIECES each, the frames come READY TO HANG, thereby replacing more traditional forms of wall art. $250.00.
To purchase one (or more) now, go to the ToolArmy SHOPPING BAZAAR and CLICK on “TA SPECIALTY.”
Still available at time of writing by the looks of it, so if you want one, you’d better get it soon!
Looks better than a poster…. but $250 is too much money for a Tool signed cool pic….. plus shipping maybe? As you said Señor Hellboy “-purchase for those with deep pockets-“. Lol…… in the other hand, can’t wait to see the new art for the new album!
It’s not too bad if you consider how much they charge for signed posters at shows. That said, it’s too much for me, and to be honest I think they could have picked a better piece of art to base it on – Adam has many much better drawings in my opinion.
I’m not a TA member- how much are they asking?
$250- it says this in the post btw 😉
Duhhhrrr…. I’d like to come back with something funny, but alas I’m just a moron.
def more then id bother with plus shipping is going to be a lot for that im assuming. especially if u dont live in the U.S.
the skull is well done bit i agree its not the best poster they have ever put out with Adams drawings on them. not for me either!
nice… I hope they put the money towards more rad future projects………..it kind of has that salival feel to it.
Shipping is 16USD for those interested
I’ve noticed lots of stuff coming up for sale. Would it be dumb to assume they would use these funds to help with recording costs possibly…?
I believe they are still under contract for 1 last album. Doesn’t the label usually pick up the costs for recording/mastering/pressing/distribution, etc).
They still have a record deal, so it wouldn’t pay for that. It would be more likely to go towards legal costs which most likely wouldn’t be covered by the record company (I’d guess).
haha. recording costs ? sorry to laugh but between the four of them i dont think they are scraping change together to pay for an album. i figured it out the one time. just for unsigned posters at 30 bucks a pop they are making thousands of dollars on that alone. i forget what the numbers were but lets just say they are making more then most of us probably have on posters alone.
It is weird that they have two online stores. One is Toolarmy exclusive (Shopping Bazaar), but the other one for the public is shop.toolarmy.com. I missed this poster, but as of this writing, there is a $50 Tool gig poster in the public store that says is signed by Danny Carey.
Edit: Looks like the ToolArmy exclusive custom poster is now in the public shop under “collectibles”.
good eye on spotting the signed poster for 65 bucks. i was on the site looking at posters last night and that was not their so this is new as of today..shitty poster though and not worth it but maybe someone will want it.
good eye!
edit, i see,,its another sale price so i guess they want 65 normally for older crap posters signed by one member. their was a newer better poster signed by all members that went for 250 i think it was ? it went super fast but it was on their apparently..this was back in last Sept. im pretty sure it was fully signed.

OUR THOUGHTS FOR CHRIS LEAHEY
Currently, our thoughts are with Adam’s long time guitar tech and good friend Chris Leahey. “Frank”, as everyone on tour called him, is at this moment in the hospital and could certainly use all the positive energy we can send his way.
I think everyone in the extended family would appreciate any positive energy that can be sent his way.
bhhzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….OOOOOOOooHHHHHHMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
positive energy for ‘frank’
much love
