Blood Into Wine Page #4

We thought we were gonna die.

He has a beautiful voice.

Beautiful voice.

- And the way he mixes it up...

-His words.

His voice-- Literally, his voice--

not his artistic voice--

His physical voice is,

I think, at this point,

something that will be heard

and listened to

as long as people

are still listening to rock music

that involves, you know,

bass guitar and drums.

I love drawing people.

And his lyrics are like a muse to me.

- This is Maynard.

- This guy right here, Maynard.

We named him

after the guy from Tool, man.

We've been listening to them

since we were 1 3.

We're going to be 23 soon,

so it's been a good decade.

-Yeah.

- A decade with Tool.

That was f***ing awesome.

That was awesome just to see them

for a whole .2 seconds.

.2 seconds was well worth the wait.

My perception of Maynard

moving to Arizona to make wine

was probably similar

to a lot of other people's.

There was a bit of skepticism.

I think there's always a bit of skepticism

when somebody who's known for one thing

decides that

they want to do something else.

You know,

when Paul Stanley from KISS says,

"I'm going to start painting,"

you're like,

"This is not going to be any good."

And then you look at the paintings,

and it's not any good.

I was just like, "Okay,

dude's got a lot of money.

"You know, he's moving to Arizona,

and he's going to, like, you know,

try his hand at this."

And then it became

sort of clear very quickly

that this was not some sort of dilettante,

you know,

"Maybe I'lltry making some wine."

This was a passion for him.

So, Maynard, I guess

what everyone wants to know

is, you know,

why did you get into winemaking?

How and what did you

fall in love with about wine?

I get that--I get that question a lot,

and I guess I could ask--

You know, I could retort

with, you know, "Why music?"

I think it's just

everyone has that moment

when they discover something on their own

that wasn't handed to them

that kind of resonates on some certain level

that, you know,

drives them to ask more.

And it's kind of, you know,

a self-fulfilling thing.

You're kind of, you know--

You're kind of learning about yourself.

It's a matter of self-discovery,

and then you ask more questions.

And you make a sound,

and it's your sound,

and it resonates on some certain level,

and with me it was with winemaking.

I had that same moment

where l was, you know,

having the right wine with the right dinner,

and something clicked, and it just

compelled me to want to know more

about what that's about

and how it relates to my world

and this world I'm living in,

and how far can I take this as an artist?

Um, are you guys going
