It appears Maynard's LA home in the Griffith Park/Hollywood Hills area is up for sale. Is that a bad sign for Tool's future?

They did those 10,000 Days promo pics there...

No.

May Jay has been living in Arizona since the 90's (source- Aenema era bootleg where he says he recently moved there.. Plus countless interviews thru the years )

More surprising here is that he still owned a home in L. A.

I think Maynard spends a lot more time in LA than he lets on. No surprise that he'd have an LA property (most likely several).

Why do you assume this?

He already owns a few restaurants there, our did.

I think Commies and Matadoors was one of the restaurants but I think he's out of that racket, or so I'm led to be believed

I would assume he's assuming he spends time there to do some music projects, see friends, make movies from time to times, maybe even work in the Loft or other studio/s with TOOL, possibly. But I assume what H to the boy is assuming for really is that Maynard wants us to believe he doesn't spend time in LA because of the various reasons we already know about from previous works, etc...but on the contrary, does spend a lot of time in the fair city of Los Angeles. That would be a contradiction I assume with most TOOL fans, assuming they care and assuming this is even true in the first place.

Not surprised.

I'm sure running his wine business is pretty damn expensive. How much money is he actually making back from that? How much money is he actually making from Puscifer releases?

Wouldn't sell a property if you didn't need to.

"Last Sold:Jan 1990 for $80,000"

The fuck???

Well I think he's made a fair amount of money from tool alone.. Plus all the side projects. I highly doubt he's selling it cause he needs money lol

I don't know what running costs are involved in his wine exploits. He's said before he's invested everything he has into it (whether or not this is true, who knows).

Plus if he didn't need the money, why would he sell off such a prime property? Unless he's buying elsewhere...

haha, you all realize there are almost infinite reasons that really well-off people buy and sell homes, right? I don't mean to the the party pooper because I guess speculation is fun.

Also, that is a sweet ass house whoever's it is. Except for that horribly wrinkled projection screen! My god, man, fix that shit!

I can only think of one, and that's because they want the money that selling the home will give surely? If they didn't need the money, why would they go through the effort to sell it?

He got a bigger, better house in LA?

Why pay property taxes if you dont use it anymore?

That's one nice looking shitter MJK has, or should I say had.

On the google maps, there's a Prius in the driveway.

Fucking hippy.

But, it is also near the Hollywood Girls Camp. Now that's a big time #Score.

Celebrities way richer than May Jay sell their homes all the time.

@ OP - How did you even know this was Maynard's place?

My guess is most likely that was just for the plot of land. Maynard probably had the house built.

He's a stocker! Haha. You can find out those type of things by looking at the property records. If maynard was smart though he would have titled the property in a private NM LLC. That way no one would know who owned the house.

Maynard actually did have the property listed under a Trust...it's just the trust was titled "Harry Merkin" lol kind of a dead giveaway. I was looking at houses in the area on LA blockshopper and saw that stand out.

Looks like he bought this house in 2003 for a mil, so owned it for 10 years. I guess he had already moved to AZ in like 95 or whatever, but makes sense he would have and eventually buy a place in LA. It's just up into the hills almost directly north of where The Loft is located, so it makes sense. But yea... maybe he doesn't spend enough time in LA anymore to justify the expense and can make some money selling it at the same time. Makes sense to me

He should rent it.

I'm working in LA over the summer and I would rent the shit out of that place. Very nice.

This means there is no new album.

Sorry kids.

Do you think Maynard feels like 'The Big One' is on it's way? aenima? "hmmmm maybe I should sell my house before the proverbial shit storm comes?"


I'm surprised no-one mentioned this.

I hear the property is a real steal. it comes with one of these as a deal sweetener....

The previous two posts in this thread were fucking winners, for completely different reasons.
