Tool And King Crimson

This vintage T-shirt commemorates a notable co-headlining tour in 2001 between the progressive rock titans King Crimson and alternative metal giants Tool. The tour, primarily in August 2001, saw the two influential bands share stages across the western United States, including cities like Denver, Seattle, Portland, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and San Diego. This pairing was particularly significant as Tool has often cited King Crimson as a major influence, with Tool’s drummer Danny Carey being a known admirer of King Crimson’s Bill Bruford, and Maynard James Keenan having publicly acknowledged their musical debt to the older band. The tour provided a unique experience for fans, showcasing both bands’ complex and experimental approaches to music.
