Maynard Keenan Shows His Incredible Vineyard to Sammy Hagar and Guy Fieri

[@Deetroiter]

If you told me 10 years ago we'd have a TV scene where Sammy Haggar, Guy Fieri, and James Keenan would be together I would have said you're crazy.

[@RobertCatiller67]

Maynard is a great example of living life, continually challenging yourself, continually growing, saying "why the f not" instead of can't, being present in each moment while having fun and a sense of humor. I love him for it.

[@jimreplicant]

Yeah he’s also a huge d-bag😂

He was ambitious as a young man also in HS in Scottville Michigan 1980' ish. Never even did any drugs. Athlete, thinker and a "Go Getter". His own mind. The best and most amazing part of man.

[@jmkees1]

Possibly the best interview I've seen MJK do. I feel I can definitely see a difference in him when he's talking with someone he's got a bit of respect (maybe not the correct word) for. These are my favorite to watch & listen to though. Feels more honest & open I guess.

[@SubSonicDistortion]

Sammy is such a gift. He does not get enough credit for his career that is for sure. Maynard is a brilliant mind, look at all the things he does and does them top notch on top of it, that takes a special mind.

[@DeborahEmmons]

Sammy should get credit for getting rid of the 55mph federal speed limit if nothing else.

[@darryyllklarkey3964]

Maynard is so awesome. He's admitted not being a people person yet overcomes it with humor and honesty. I'm glad this video wasn't too long. They interrupted soooo much. 🍷

[@realscience948]

Maynard obviously couldn’t care less about music…it just a means to an end! Real musicians dedicate their lives to their craft!

[@shelbydupree6157]

Maynard has 3 different bands, actually 4, and you say he doesn’t care about music🤦‍♂️Puscifer didn’t exactly make money for a long time, if it even does now, he supported that venture out of his own pocket. Your comment makes zero sense.

[@wolarts]

@@shelbydupree6157 there's people that work multiple jobs too, but do you think they do it because they really like those jobs?

[@BadBaru]

Its usually little guys like him who talk a big game. His ego is insanely massive. Douchebag , but damn he puts on a hell of a show. He is an amazing singer, but fuck he is such a douchebag.

[@Island_Lady]

What am incredible interview. Please don't ever cancel this series. Sammy just has an amazing personality that people feel comfortable to talk to and there are so many musicians out there that we would love to know more about and what they are doing now.

[@Jay-ju9jw]

@island, let’s be honest, Sammy at first was struggling with a connection with Maynard. Maynard is a tuff code to hack!

[@wewd]

@@Jay-ju9jw That's just how Maynard is though. He's closed off to everyone at first, and some people can get him to open up. I remember watching his interviews in the early 90s and it was painful how the interviewers couldn't get him to give up anything. He's just very very introverted.

[@skipdog9912]

[@christopher3963]

I listened to KC for the first time after years of being a huge Tool fan, I would say it’s closer to copyright infringement than influence.

[@rumo510]

Saw them play live together, with KC as the surprise guest, Fripp, Belew and all. For me, King Crimson blew Tool out of the water. Absolute masters. I think it was the lateralus tour, or slightly before that.

been to his wine shop. there's two ways to get up there. one road is an absolutely amazing drive. it was what i imagine driving in the mountains of bolivia would be like. breath taking.

[@DM-il1hf]

Everyone should do that drive from Prescott to Sedona to Flagstaff. 89A is it?

[@mekrobar7872]

@DM-il1hf not sure, lol. I came from California to, what I would guess was the west side, up the mountain to the wine shop. Left there the opposite side and went to bearazona then to the grand canyon. Awesome trip. Gonna do it again. Long drive, though, lol. Started in Sacramento, ca.

We sat down to eat and my neighbor ( who's in the wine business) says to me Hey Russ you ever hear of a band called "TOOL". I responded with why yes I have. Well I just had that guy over at my house. I think his name is Maynard and gave me one of his CD's called 10,000 days. He's an interesting fellow I must say. Are they a popular band? My wife and I just started laughing. Small world.

[@eddiejamesmagic4207]

Maynard is the reason I listen to rock n roll music as a young very young kid aenima came on the radio and I was blown away by every part of the song and it completely changed my life I'm hoping to venture over to grab some wine soon as I am vacationing an hour from his vineyard

[@jimreplicant]

[@jimc2384]

I sat at breakfast place on a barstool about 10 years ago and met the man who signed Tool to a record contract. It was winter and the guy next to me had a tan on him. I turned to him and said "you look well rested" He told me he had left California and settled on the East coast. We started talking. He told me he ran Zoo Entertainment at one point. We talked for close to an hour. The stories he told me... Damn.. He unfortunately passed away. RIP Lou... Thank you for the stories...!

[@fcon2123]

I wanna say it was an episode of the WTF Podcast where Maynard talked about testing high enough to go to officer training. Basically he had that fork in the road where he could pursue shooting up the chain of command in the military or abandoning it all to pursue art and music. I think we're all pretty thankful for the choice he made.

[@HiThereFaceHere]

@fcon2123 I gotta see if I can find that. And yes the world is now better off with MJK out of the military lol Knowing that he's been in the military though actually makes a lot of his lyrics make even more sense. Also I now see why he is so stoic and proper with certain things
