The Vine interviews Maynard

Andrew McMillen from The Vine got the chance to speak to Maynard recently, and discuss Puscifer, Winemaking, Australia and definitely nothing about Tool. It is an excellent interview and here’s a snippet:

Is that different to what you were doing when you were touring in your 20s and 30s?

Well, you know, back then you have a little more resilience, and you can kinda push it a little harder, move a little faster. You don’t necessarily have to pay attention to maintenance much.

I get the impression that all of your musical output these days – touring, releasing music – is done primarily to fund your wine business. Am I way off the mark?

Hmm… no. I think the touring is just because we like to play music and we like to perform. The wine business – it takes care of itself. Of course, there’s a lot of initial investment, from prior touring. I used a lot of that money to get it going, but that was instead of buying a Ferrari.

Enjoy!
