yikes! Just a tad excessive. Especially for just a CD version.

Yeah, I am not crazy about TOOL, but for that price, I would want a 12" picture disk or colored vinyl or something. Why do you need a USB if it comes with a CD?

I was thinking the USB would have the digital copies on it, but that isn't made clear...
For the price I'd expect at least a cd, vinyl, screen print, etc.
150 for a cd, usb, sticker and signatures... not worth it at all.
Especially for something I already own.

The vinyl version of the EP was available at Hot Topic forever for like $7. Wish I had picked it up.

PS - Any time I hear the word "systematically," my mind says "...but we systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach."

But for a measly $149.99 + shipping you too can be a tool!

750K if they sell all of them, for something that probably cost 25K to make & them taking the time to sign them. One of my favorite bands, but this is robbery. I still have my original copy of Opiate though, so I wouldn't want this even if it was 15 bucks.

I use to have several copies of the Tool demo cassette tape.

I use to give them away in the early days.

Then I sat on 2 and sold them on eBay for about $100 each. Still cheaper than this...

I don't know what happened to my original so picking this up was a no brainer!

I'm a TOOL, I don't care. I LOVE them!

I wish we could get another APC record. Thirteenth Step is one of my hands-down faves.

I remember listening to "The Nurse Who Loved Me" over and over... can't believe that was 10 years ago.

Post Re: TOOL Opiate 21st Anniversary Re-issue
What a joke. I really like this band but this seems wayyyy overpriced. I still see the 12'' sealed for under $10. :shock:

- I didn't see that they were signed. I LOVE Tool but not enough to buy this. I was able to hang out with Danny Carey when he came through with Pigmy Love Circus. He was a real nice guy and it was great to be 5 feet away watching him play the drums. This was at a small bar and the crowd was just the regular crowd. There weren't any Tool fans there. It's always nice to catch a good small venue show. I have seen Tool several times in large venues and that is amazing also.

My favorite time to see Tool was Lollapalooza in Dallas around 1996 or so. It was summer and super hot and we were going just to see Tool. We wen't around 5p.m. When we got there we didn't hear any music. Then Snoop Dog came out on a low rider bike and did his set. It was rad and around 1996 so it was fun to see him. Then Tool played next. They were amazing. Then Prodigy played. The Electronic band Prodigy. It was pretty neat to see those 3 different acts one after another. I was 15 or 16 at that time so this was one of the first festivals that I had went to.

Daney is the nicest member of Tool, by far. Paul the bass player was nicer but he quit after the 2nd album...
