Guys, I told ya...

well for Adam, hes being more direct. ''mockingbeat'' and putting ''new packaging'' didnt leave it too elite. is this real? its not real. u almost got me!

Expecting a CEO of a company to be good at whatever they are selling/servicing/etc is a fools errand.

Get a fucking grip.

Besides, he’d better be spending more of his time being a CEO than woodshedding.

He did pretty good (with no rhythm behind him) Kind of sloppy, but 100% better than I would have done. I think he is just trying to show that he is a Adam Jones fan. I think he is taking Gibson to a great level of quality.

I think he's the reason there is an Adam Jones signature. Him and Adam are bro's on IG. To Gibson's credit, they released a guitar to a rabid fanbase and sold them all out quickly. Why no one at Gibson ever decided to tap into it before this is beyond me.....

Cesar Gueikian seems like a cool dude, and I think it's just incredibly impressive that Gibson replaced those stolen guitars.

That is pretty cool. Did they ever find the 13 missing ones? Someone just had 13 Silverbursts hanging out

I don't think those stolen guitars have been recovered yet. I imagine it's really just a matter of time until they surface in some way though.

Not sure how new this is, but it was pointed out that the merchandise you receive with the Tool Army membership has changed: new t-shirt design, a Wall Flag, an Enamel Pin, and a different Keychain.

Wow harsh critic. I guess you've never heard me play guitar then.
He's no guitar hero, but a long was from "so shit"

Since seen his other attempts on IG, I stand by what I said.

it's kinda stupid, but i'd take that keychain over the plastic one. i feel like the plactic one will fall apart if you actually use it

I don't mind the grey logo actually

people complained about the original t shirt cause it looked like red electrical tape stuck on a t-shirt, i didnt mind it but i get why its not liked. This new one has a more proper image of the logo like most shirts do. The wall flag is cool. i like it when it doesnt have the band name plastered all over it.

they still put ''los angeles,,ca'' on the arm sleeve.

My understanding (when that started) was that it was some form of bootleg counter-measure to prove it's official merch.
Bootleggers won't spend the money/time needed to print something on the sleeve.
I heard that somewhere. I don't know if that's the actual reason for it, though.

i remember the cardboard tags on the Lateralus shirts saying 'an official tool product'' or whatever the words where. i think i have one somewhere or i tossed it eventually. i took it off a shirt i saw in a store, haha. i already had lots of tool shirts bought officially (still have them all) so i thought it was an ok move.

That's funny. Speaking of bootletters, when I went to the 2001 tool show at the Wiltern, i was pretty poor. So I bought a tool necklace at the merch booth, but couldn't afford anything else. After the show, I bought 2 or 3 Tool shirts right outside. I knew they weren't legit, but I didn't have enough money for the real merch. I think these shirts are still hanging in my closet, but I think if I wash them - they will probably fall apart.

How could you Bobby, you'd look like a fucking poser wearing bootleg shit.

bahah, sometimes bootleg shirts are funny though. i had a Cult t-shirt from a show i saw many years ago. i bought an official one but picked up this other one outside for 10. they spelt winnipeg wrong on the back ''winpeg'' or something like that. we had some fun with that one over that.

the tool hamilton show in 2017 the scumbags were selling them before the show. Talk about getting more nervy doing it before like that. they were selling out too, geeze.

Well, bootlegs, I'm wearing Vans, no 501.

I know, right? That was the only time I have bought any bootleg stuff (such poor quality). Don't worry, I'll make it up to Tool. There will be some new merch on Friday and I'll give them some of my money.

Just what I always wanted, a 2014 VIP TShirt.
