10 Hard Rock Musicians With The Most Endearing Hobbies
6. Wine Crafter - Maynard James Keenan
In the entire rock pantheon, you're not going to find too many rock stars who haven't touched booze in their lives. Compared to the other major food groups, the early days of any rock stars career had a lot more beer involved and a lot less water. So when you actually get to settle down, it's only fitting that some may pay tribute to the lifestyle that made them who they are today.
Granted, Maynard James Keenan has already been a busy guy outside of Tool to begin with. Even when he's not singing for a Perfect Circle, Keenan was already known to be a highly skilled fighter and even turned in time in the military before he decided to give music a shot. When you look at the winery that he has going on though, this is not just some case of throwing your name on a bottle of booze.
For the past few years, Keenan has been very active in the wine business and his product has been immaculate, garnering attention from Tool fans as well as casual wine aficionados across the scene. Who knows? Maybe the reason why Tool had to wait so long to release another album was because of Maynard doing so well with his second career.
