This week Sam visits Maynard James Keenan at his Vineyard in Arizona. Keenan is best known as the lead singer of the multi-platinum rock bands Tool and A Perfect Circle with whom he has released five and three studio albums, respectively. In 2003, he created Puscifer as a side project, financing and releasing its first studio album in October 2007. In addition to his music career, he has performed improvisational stand-up comedy, as inspired by close friend Bill Hicks, and ventured into acting. His family has been involved in winemaking; he currently owns Merkin Vineyards and Caduceus Cellars in Arizona, where he resides.
Puscifer, his latest solo project and "creative subconscious" produced the first album "V is for Vagina" which was basically him and Mat Mitchell on the road finding places to record and putting it out. The follow up to the first album "V is for Viagra" is more of a reinterpretation of those songs from the 1st album but with different musicians so people get the sense that is not one core group of people, its a revolving door of people putting their 2 cents in.
