Maynard’s adventures in viticulture
A few Maynard related items this afternoon. Firstly, as I’m sure most of you have read on Toolband a selection of his wines won 9 medals at a recent Arizona Republic Wine Competition. Head over to the Caduceus site or Toolband for more details. Congratulations to Maynard on his endeavours and I hope to one day sample his fermented grapes. I read somewhere (I can’t for the life of me… Read More »Maynard Stuff
Maynard has a quick chat with Spin magazine, in which he talks about the latest happenings at his vineyard. Highlights include: Do those retirees ever ask what Merkin, the name of your vineyards, actually means? (it’s a pubic hair wig) They probably do and I probably look at them with a blank stare and ask if they want some more wine. I heard on the grapevine that they may have… Read More »Maynard Talks, Danny Drums
In a new interview with Artist Direct, Maynard discusses the Blood Into Wine movie, which is now available on DVD. He talks about wine making, the movie, and a little about Puscifer. No Tool news for those who are only interested in one thing (apart from sex): It’s an inspiring film because audiences very rarely have the opportunity to see how intense the winemaking process is. It’s been removed from… Read More »Maynard on Blood Into Wine

This is a compilation of the tracks heard throughout the "Blood Into Wine" documentary, but also includes a few UNRELEASED MIXES. The DVD will be released on SEPTEMBER 14.… Read More »Slight Blood Into Wine delay
With the Blood Into Wine DVD release imminent, it makes sense that they might want to release a new trailer. This one seems to focus on Maynard and Tool fans. Well here it is: Man I wish I was in the third row of the New Orleans show…
Here’s a bunch of news updates and things I’ve picked up of the last month but haven’t quite been motivated enough to create a new post for. In case you missed it, Justin Chancellor will be appearing on a couple of tracks on the new Intronaut album Valley of Smoke. The album will be released on the 12th of October so Rodney tells me. No word on what Justin plays… Read More »August Updates

While not yet confirmed on Toolband, the 93.3 Website and AEG Live are showing that Tool are playing at Red Rocks, CO on to consecutive nights on the 28th and 29th of June (not that’s June not July). I’m not 100% convinced by those dates yet, so wait for confirmation on Toolband, but seems extremely likely that this will go ahead at this awesome venue. Two nights in a row… Read More »Red Rocks Confirmed! Puscifer DVD!
