I found this post on the Big Day Out forums which shows the timetable for the New Zealand Big Day Out. As expected Tool are the last act to play, and have been allocated 90 minutes (9:00-10:30). Depending on how much time they decide to take in between songs, they should be able to fit in most of their current set. For those waiting at their keyboards to score some… Read More »BDO Timetable?

The Tool Hotline posted this interview with Maynard on Vulture Droppings. He talks about Puscifer, horror films, wine, and nothing about Tool, probably why it’s more interesting than your standard crappy interview.
It’s been well documented that Maynard is a lover of wine, and has a special place in his heart for the Australian drop Grange Hermitage. Some of you may remember that Maynard paid $65,000 for a bottle of this stuff once. Anyway, it seems that Penfolds, the winery in question has started a VIP club for wine affectionados. To celebrate this Chief Winemaker Peter Gago will be embarking on a… Read More »Penfolds Wine
Maynard has risen from his sickbed to post an update on the A Perfect Circle website. Apparently Billy is working hard on his solo stuff, Maynard is working with Tool, on wine and doing Puscifer, and that 13th Step and eMotive lyrics should be up soon. Is this post some kind of sign that APC are not dead? Who knows. Thanks to those stoned dudes at The Tool Hotline for… Read More »APC Update?

The second is an interview with Maynard on Maximum Ink. Maynard talks about Tool, and various views he has on life. MAX INK: As a band, you go to such lengths to express a voice.… Read More »Maynard’s Wine, Interview

I finally had a chance to check out the newly renovated Caduceus.org. I tried to check it out the other week after I’d heard it had changed, but for whatever reason it didn’t seem to load the Flash properly (damn Flash, my #1 annoyance on the web). If you haven’t checked it out, and you have an interest in Maynard and his wine endeavours, then make sure you do. The… Read More »Caduceus.org
