Maynard James Keenan: The Art of Work Pt. 3 (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Caduceus Cellars)

WATCH THE FULL SERIES HERE: bit.ly/2HgpaVv
In Episode 3 of our four-part series with Maynard James Keenan, "The Art of Work," the Tool, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle frontman describes how his personal vision for a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle extends to the community he's fostering in Jerome, Arizona, and gives Revolver a tour of the gardens where he grows produce, his Merkin Vineyards Osteria, Puscifer general store and barbershop, and Four Eight Wineworks collective.

Maynard's ability to clearly see reality and still create magic is admirable

[@VexylObby]

The beautiful thing? How do we know how real something is if we always have varying lenses?

[@edsmeds7233]

Real is a choice that can be informed by consistency across lenses. Science harnesses the same theory: if an outcome repeats, it must be more real than if not.

[@deliriousmysterium8137]

He cares about what he does.

[@kai326]

I don’t think it’s possible to create magic without seeing reality. As Marco Pierre White said, you have a responsibility to make your dreams come true, otherwise you’re just a fantasist; a dreamer.

[@wendygayle04]

Its important to see not just your reality but the perspective of the reality of others as well.

What I learned and loved from living in Italy and from the amazingly beautiful culture of the Italian people... They know how to live slower. They drink more water, better coffee, better food, less fast food, junk food, sugary food, they walk more, spend more quality time with family and friends, they enjoy being outside in real nature (not conditioned nature) more, they have a stronger appreciation of culture and community. It's truly wonderful and something we all should adapt to our lives

[@Amy-xp9ze]

Conditioned nature like air conditioning?

[@jamallabarge2665]

@BWM Sure it doesn't mean stopping to plant the flowers, weed around them, then smell them? I work with Italians. There are lots of fast food franchises there. Fast cars. Fast lives. Some lead simple lives. Other lead fast lives. We don't need to slow down. Some of us need to change our emphases.

[@Itsunclegabby]

@BWM Maybe we won't slow down culturally, but I believe more people are realizing the importance of going inwards, being mindful, being present. The change begins individually. The inner is a reflection of the outer, right? So go inwards and make the changes you want to see reflected in the world. Good luck to us all. 😊

This guy was such an inaccessible enigma for so many years.

[@liberty5565]

TipOfTheDtoYa He's promoting and trying to sell his wine. This was more of an infomercial than personal interview. The only reason his wine sells is simply because of who he is and if he wants it to continue to sell he needs to keep making music. I know wine makers that have spent their lives making it and can't sell it all. I know many brewers that make great beer, but a great beer doesn't sell itself. He could sell nearly anything by celebrity alone, but he needs to promote it. These wines sell out and it has nothing to do with quality or taste. People are collecting them or simply want to see what they're like. Then you have investors who buy cases to sell to collecltors. Once they sell out, the value to collectors raises the value. He's sellimg celebrity in a bottle, because these wines are no better than average.

I totally agree for a certain type of artist, Maynard is more of a realism artist, everything he writes about is for real in his life.. However some artists are dreamers and they use art to excape reality.

It feels a little odd seeing how he transformed a town.

[@soth1sol]

anyone can affect and help to completely transform their communities. and mjk wants to create a network, a collective, of like-minded (driven) creatives. sustainability, simplicity, moving forward. seems jerome's already on its way. the entire point of this "work" ...um, "series" ...and his "blood into wine" documentary for that matter ...is meant to inspire people to bring out the flavor or their own time and space, set and setting. if you happen to be from the area, and are interested in adding to the nature, nurture, and overall character of the scene, then hit him up. if he were trying all this in new england, you better believe i'd angle myself to help the caduceus cause directly. don't half-ass it. the entire point of it is to take advantage of an opportunity to make "opportunity" a well-spring for inspiration, expression, and creativity.

[@Creator_Nater]

soth1 sol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 "the entire point" is to make $ This is a commercial, and an investment. He's doing what all artists do, they create a rich tapestry to push a product. The breathtaking ultra perfect godlike talented work doesn't sell, unless it has some story behind it. Meanwhile, the inkblot sells billions because it has some half witted bs story behind it. Don't get me wrong, Maynard is incredible. But he's still just selling a product. He doesn't need struggle, and diversity for his artistic expression, that can be outsourced to writers that will sell him masterpieces for a dime. In reality, he's in his 50s, and that beautiful voice won't last forever. He's diversifying his portfolio of investments.

4:78 A guy I used to run with, went outside to smoke a cigarette and stumbled upon a man attempting to steal a car outside of a nightclub we worked at. Surprised by him, the would be thief popped off three rounds from a handgun and fled. When my friend came inside to inform us of what had just ensued, he had a hole in his wrist and a tunnel through his forearm from where the bullet exited through his elbow. A few minutes after he sat down, we noticed a pair of holes in the front of his shirt, one on the left and one on the right, just at the level of his heart, apparently from when he spun, out of reaction to gun fire. As well as, one in the crotch of his pants. After taking a minute to make sure his member was still in tact and to gather himself and regain his bearing, he took his phone out of his pocket, flipped it open to make a call, and there, lodged in the number pad, was a .38 cal bullet... The shot that left the hole in his crotch. Lucky, lucky guy. We called him Neo, for a while after that.
