According to a post by Maynard on the Asylum messageboard: Please don’t bring previously purchased bottles to this signing. It’s illegal to bring bottles in that were not purchased at Whole Foods. You will be required to purchase a bottle there for signing. and PLEASE don’t bring band related items. This event is about the birth of Arizona Stronghold Vineyards. Not about rock dudes. Thanks to Khadgar346 for the tip.

Blair has posted the February Newsletter on Toolband/Army, which rejects claims that the last newsletters had any codes in regards to a Live DVD, new tour dates or a Tool movie. He doesn’t flat out deny any of this either. It also explains that members of Tool are currently: Watching basketball games, drinking (nay, producing) fine wine, playing Halo 3 with other members of the Halo Nation, eating McDonald’s at… Read More »February Tool Newsletter 2008
In the last few days we’ve had some news on Toolband/Army showing us what Justin and Danny have been doing on their time off. Justin and Shelee have been visiting famous gravestones in Seattle, while Danny and Rynne have been whale watching in Hawaii. More photos can be found on Toolarmy. No word on what Adam and Maynard are up to though. Presumably Maynard is busying himself at his winery,… Read More »Tool on Holidays
According to Beckett from Toolarmy, Maynard will be appearing on the Sirius radio station Left of Center next week: MJK will be getting on the mic on his favorite radio station, Left of Center. Maynard will discuss everything from his wine vineyard to his thoughts on creativity and downloading to his new Puscifer album. He’ll also play and discuss every song from the new Puscifer record, V Is For Vagina,… Read More »Maynard on Left of Center
Another interview with Maynard has popped up, this time on the Spinner website. Once again Maynard opens up on a range of topics, resulting in another very worthwhile interview. Here’s a snippet: Has having done Caduceus helped you develop your business sense? Tool and A Perfect Circle — both bands are very much aware, on many levels, what goes on with our business. We were much older than most people… Read More »Maynard on Spinner
Badkittygothgirl from Toolarmy posted a like to a video interview done by Erin from the Suicide Girls where Maynard talks about the creative process behind Puscifer. Here’s the article: “Enigmatic is a misnomer. Most likely a byproduct of my absence in the press. An assumption arrived at due to the lack of available information, accurate or otherwise. I don’t do that many interviews. General because of my private life and… Read More »Maynard on Suicide Girls
The 2002 Vintage of Penfold Winery’s Grange was release yesterday, and according to this article, Maynard is working on A$185,000 ($154,000) full vintage. There’s not really anything else about Maynard or Tool in the article, but I’m sure is worth reading if you’re a wine buff.
Maynard has been interviewed by Suicide Girls’ Daniel Epstein. A pretty interesting read, and also reveals something about the recent Big Day Out tour that may explain some alleged sub-par performances: DRE: How was touring with the Big Day Out festival in Australia? MK: It was good. I got a chance to taste some wines down there as well, but I had the flu which sucked because I couldn’t taste… Read More »Maynard on Suicide Girls
I was wandering through the newsagent yesterday and noticed that the Australian Edition of Rolling Stone magazine has a feature this month on bands touring Australia this summer. There was a short interview with Maynard there which really isn’t worth purchasing the magazine for. It really doesn’t cover anything we haven’t already read about in previous interviews. It does mention that Maynard is hoping to visit the Magill Estate in… Read More »Maynard in Aussie Rolling Stone, BDO Tickets Update
