Tool fans are just a different breed. If you need further proof of this, a recent post on Tool’s subreddit basically confirms this.
Reddit user Past_Salamander5361 shared the post below asking fellow Tool fans for advice. They write, “So me and my wife are getting married (unfortunately) on the third of October which is the day tool will be in our town of Loveland, CO. So I told my wife I don’t want to be married on the third because tool was in town.”
They added, “That led to the worst fight of our lives, and she went to go live with her parents, and it seems that all her relatives are on her side. What should I do?”
The comment section, as expected, went wild on this post. One person wrote, “Congratulations, this is the most Tool fan post I’ve ever seen.” Another person pointed out how October 3 is a Tuesday and wrote, “Who plans on getting married on a Tuesday in October?” This comment received a response of, “I’m sure he’s trolling — but if not, some people get great deals on venues for bypassing the standard Saturday wedding day.” Naturally, this led someone to comment, “The real troll is marriage.”
Of course, whether or not this predicament is real is up for debate. However, it really says something about Tool fans that most people (author included) reading about this immediately thought, “Oh, this feels real.”
For the rest of us not getting married during Tool’s upcoming tour, it kicks off with their Louder Than Life festival appearance on September 22 in Louisville, Ky. A full list of tour dates is below with complete ticket information available at ToolBand.com/Tour.
