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!
