Maynard discusses wine, Adam Jones Metallica poster

Maynard spoke with the guys on Australia’s Wine Week in Melbourne the other day, and in part 1 of this interview he chats about a range of wine related topics:

Adam provided the artwork for one of the posters in the current issue of Guitar World.  Tim was kind enough to take a photo of it for us:

Looks pretty cool to me – if I see it in the newsagent I think I’ll grab a copy! 

My Tool trek has finished for now – only one more show left, tomorrow night at the Perth Big Day Out.  Western Australian’s don’t miss out on this amazing show!

Merchandise at Tool gigs

Got an email from Kanaduh today, with plenty of pictures of Tool merchandise.  If any wants a closer photo of a specific shirt then let me know (they’re all a little blurry though).  Here’s a photo of the merchandise stand:

The limited shirts mentioned by Blair on Toolband don’t go on sale until the Cedar Park gig.  In regards to pricing, Kanaduh mentioned the following:

all shirts $40
2xlarge size $45
Old poster $5
City specific poster $25
Signed $100

I also noticed a G-String in one of his pictures for the ladies or crossdressers or Fourtheye!

Poster from Tool’s New Orleans Gig

Badkittygothgirl sent me a photo of the Tool tour poster she picked up at the gig.  It’s signed by all four members, and I presume for sale at the merchandise stall:

037

She also sent me a copy of the set list, which I won’t post here.  You can check it out in the New Orleans thread in the forum.  For those who are going to on this tour and don’t want to see the set list – rest assured you won’t be disappointed!

Also, the opening act was Wovenhand, despite what Blair said about it possibly being incorrect.

Customised Tool Poster on Ebay

Bill sent me an email yesterday letting me know that one of the customised posters done by Adam for the 2007 tour has found it’s way onto Ebay.  The cool tour posters were based on a cool looking print, and then further customised be Adam, in this instance he drew a picture of a weird looking dude no dissimilar to one found in Tool videos.  Starting bid is $500, do be prepared to spent a bit on this…

Those with a more modest budget may be interested in Jeremy’s auction of a tour poster he picked up in Atlanta last year.  This poster is at a much more tasty $50:

Stuff that you might be interested in

A few things came across my desk today, none of which are particularly exciting and warrant their own post.

Firstly, there’s a set of gig posters from the last Tool tour up on Ebay.  Located in the UK, the complete set starts at £100, or you can buy it now for £200.

Next up Blair‘s Myspace page has a few interesting photo’s added recently, the most interesting of which is a fancy neon geometric symbol, some of whom there have speculated may be a new stage prop:

Stage Prop?

Stage Prop?

Maynard has been tweeting a bit lately, suggesting that the tasting room at his vineyards will be open soon (hopefully the 4th of July).  Pics can be found in the Journal at http://www.caduceus.org/.  He also suggests he’s doing some more filming for the wine documentary Blood Into Wine.

Finally there’s a range of new pics up on Toolband, mainly from Kat’s baby shower, one of which shows Justin on the piano.  Sign of things to come?  Who knows.  Congrats to Kat!
