REVOLVER’S ALL-TOOL ISSUE IS BACK!
Monday, September 22nd, 2008 at 10:45am by Vince Neilstein
Remember this past May when we gave away a few copies of Revolver’s 100-page issue devoted entirely to Tool, aka the best band to ever walk the earth? The issue was one of Revolver’s best-selling ever and sold out almost immediately. Reportedly there were copies on eBay going for $35; no joke.
But if you missed out on the Tool goodness the first time around, fret not; Revolver has re-issued The Book of Tool, and you can get it for only $9.99 at their online store. Alas, giant rolling paper Cheech and Chong style is not included; maybe next time.
And for any Slipknot fans in the house, you can also order a box set containing all 10 covers of the November 2008 Revolver issue; 1 for each of the 9 members and one of the full band. A damn fine deal for $39.99 if you ask me.

“Tool, aka the best band to ever walk the earth”
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
thanks, i needed that
So, for 40 bucks I can get 10 copies of the exact same issue of the exact same magazine, but with a different cover on each? Sorry, I don’t collect rock magazines (or comic books or anything for that matter) because I’ve actually seen a real vagina in real life.
this will make an awesome gift, and while i could perhaps (maybe) see the argument that Tool is not the best band on Earth, for you “mankvill”, to sound so condescending as you, with no arguments, laugh at the idea of Tool being a good band makes me want to put sauce on your dick. Have you ever heard a Tool song?
While I may have no desire to put sauce or anything else for that matter anywhere near his dick… that makes him no less of a doofus.
Actually… I take that back. I wouldn’t mind putting a boot or some other heavy object square into his junk. Wouldn’t want him reproducing.
Strange, I feel the same about you.
Get back to me when this is free, I’ll keep it in the bathroom for those rare occasions I run out of Charmin – or you know, anything Tool in relation paper would do.
Just what kind of sauce are we talking about here?
No one can say who the best band on the planet is since this is an opinion. Tool ranks right up there for me but someone out there ranks Motley Crue or some such shit as the best. Tool music speaks to me like no other but I like variety so I can’t listen to them, or any other band, all the time. Wings for Marie/10,000 Days is the best song ever written in my opinion but I know some douche out there thinks Unskinny Bop is, so we’ll never agree on anything. Tool rocks!!
As for the “sauce” I’d go with sulphuric acid but I don’t know if that can be considered a sauce.
Revrant, give it a rest. I don’t give a shit about you anymore so fuck off and stop paying attention to me.
Still pissy over being ignored eh? When I say someone disgusts me I generally stop acknowledging them, just so you know.
Still good for a laugh though. =)
i’m from the philippines and i saw a couple of 1st printing ed. copies at a local bookstore (which sells used books/back issues of magazines) a few days ago. the back issues just got there, and were retailing for $2, i think. i’ll probably get one tomorrow just for the heck of it– i really don’t know why the hell i’d want to see “never-before-seen photos” of the band.
Revrant. When exactly did you ignore me?
I ended our conversation and haven’t said shit to you since. You, however, came into this thread for no purpose other than to talk shit about the story and apparently I’m soooo important to you that you had to say shit to me too. You’ve got issues. When there’s a job opening for my stalker, I’ll let you know. Until then go back to double teaming donkey cock with your mother you pathetic piece of shit
@Revrant:
I used to have your back because I thought we had some common ground opinions regarding music and the fact that metal is more than ____core and noodley prog for prog’s sake. However, it’s become increasingly difficult to do so because you seem intent on hijacking every thread to make snarky comments that include the word “elitist” and to personally attack other commentors.
I realize a lot of folks here have attacked you because you like Disturbed and have relentlessly defended them and your tastes, even when the blog has nothing to do with that, but man, give it a rest.
@Sammy:
WORD.
The usual from lern, wasn’t aware I was the one mean person here, my apologies, I must be the black sheep among you angels.
Conor negates himself by saying word, what are you? Will Smith?
Sammy: Do you have your head up your ass? Where have you been the past few months? Was the site hijacked by Anonymous and turned into a forum for Kids Next Door and I’ve been under the effects of some kind of fucking hallucinogen that made me think it was a metal blog? All everyone does is fucking piss and shit all over each other, basically, you need only scroll above my first comment to see it in action, I responded to that, I haven’t used elitist in quite a long while, and I can only recall one person I attacked with it(And boy, were they deserving), other commentators attack each other constantly and are far more vile, so bullshit.
Oh I see, so where the fuck are you saying this when the blog goes around bashing a variety of acts, and not Disturbed, any in general, and everyone joins in on the shit fest, bashing anyone who defends the band. Then they go off licking the ass of everything from generic post grunge bands, to awful prog shit, to bar none some of the worst metalcore, not even the stuff you can listen to, and everyone kissing their asses and each other’s while slamming anyone repeatedly who does not agree. Why the fuck are you singling me out again?
I’ve never just brought up Disturbed out of the blue, it’s always been some snarky reference to them either in the blog or by a commentators, and I’ll give a rest to my positive opinion of you, in the form a permanent fucking dirt nap.
@Revrant, I did not attack you, so slow down. I was just trying to tell you to not let them engage you in the juvenile trash talk. You played right into it. Don’t be so sensitive. Honestly, I agree with you that there is way too much love here for bands that work way too hard to be dissonant or anti-commercial just for the sake of those goals and nothing else. I don’t hate you or even dislike you, Rev. I think you’ve brought some good discourse to the site.
Sure as hell didn’t sound like it, I don’t engage in juvenile trash talk, I’m make snide remarks, that’s my thing. I don’t “hijack” the posts either, I’m just reactive, not as much as lern from what I’ve seen he’ll just keep talking until the other person shuts up, but I’m pretty high up there, and when I get someone else who’s going to respond then it either gets out of hand or(sometimes) becomes an interesting discussion.
Discourse is always good, eh, I may come off as exceedingly “snarky” sometimes, I don’t mean to, but the sheepish crap some of these guys have going on can get exceptionally tiresome.
Side note, dissonant or anti-commercial, usually that’s spot on, but God, Vince, Shinedown, need I say more?
Yeah, that’s pretty much true. I will usually keep talking until the other person shuts up. I’m not going to lie. For the record though, the only reason I said shit about mankvill is because he, like so many internet trolls, came into this story for no reason but to bitch about it. Anyway, from the sound of it, this animosity is totally retarded anyway. From what you say, it seems like our pov’s on music are pretty damn similar. This being a music site and all, that’s good enough for me. So, to cut off any future retardation on either of our parts I’m going to just say we let bygones be bygones. In the future, I’ll try to keep any discussion we have civil. Fair enough?
Uh huh.
