Hi, everybody This is Dave Grohl.
4
00:00:17,435 --> 00:00:20,646
You're here to witness
what I consider to be
5
00:00:20,688 --> 00:00:24,066
the greatest rock and roll
documentary of all time.
6
00:00:25,943 --> 00:00:27,069
As a musician
7
00:00:27,153 --> 00:00:29,613
who's been touring
since I was a teenager,
8
00:00:29,697 --> 00:00:32,283
in vans, playing in dirty clubs
9
00:00:32,366 --> 00:00:34,618
and sleeping on floors
and playing in squats,
10
00:00:34,702 --> 00:00:35,995
this film
11
00:00:36,078 --> 00:00:38,873
is the most honest, warts and all,
12
00:00:39,498 --> 00:00:40,791
best description
13
00:00:40,875 --> 00:00:42,251
of what it's like
14
00:00:42,334 --> 00:00:44,211
when you and your friends
15
00:00:44,253 --> 00:00:45,546
join a band,
16
00:00:45,629 --> 00:00:48,841
jump in a van,
and try to start a revolution.
17
00:00:48,883 --> 00:00:52,178
Revolution comes with a price, I'd say.
18
00:00:52,261 --> 00:00:54,180
You'll see that here in this movie DIG!
19
00:00:54,263 --> 00:00:56,265
I've seen it 50 times,
20
00:00:56,348 --> 00:00:59,310
and this new version, which has more,
21
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:00,436
is even more.
22
00:01:00,478 --> 00:01:01,896
For any musician in the house,
23
00:01:01,979 --> 00:01:03,856
you'll understand what I'm saying.
24
00:01:03,898 --> 00:01:05,566
For the non-musician,
25
00:01:05,649 --> 00:01:07,693
or someone who's never seen DIG!,
26
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:09,904
just fuckin' wait.
27
00:01:09,945 --> 00:01:12,907
So ladies and gentlemen, DIG!XX
28
00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:27,755
Wait Bring that thing out
here Let the kids dig this.
29
00:01:29,548 --> 00:01:31,383
You getting that okay? Dig.
30
00:01:32,802 --> 00:01:33,886
Bring that back here.
31
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:39,642
Now listen to this
32
00:01:39,683 --> 00:01:41,161
I'll say what I got to say - Damn right!
33
00:01:41,185 --> 00:01:44,063
I'm here to destroy this
fucked-up system I will do it.
34
00:01:44,146 --> 00:01:46,482
That's why I got the job
I said, "Let it be me"
35
00:01:46,524 --> 00:01:48,984
I said, "Use my hands,
I'll use our strength.
36
00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:50,653
Let's fucking burn it to the ground"
37
00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:52,321
1995.
38
00:01:52,363 --> 00:01:54,281
This is the year I met Anton Newcombe
39
00:01:54,323 --> 00:01:56,742
and his band,
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
40
00:01:56,826 --> 00:01:59,620
Hold on.
The freeze frame's on me.
41
00:01:59,662 --> 00:02:01,789
You're not the only one
who gets to tell this story
42
00:02:01,831 --> 00:02:03,332
I'm Joel Gion,
43
00:02:03,374 --> 00:02:05,376
Anton's tambourine-wielding sidekick,
44
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:06,919
and I'll give you the inside scoop.
45
00:02:07,002 --> 00:02:08,003
More later, babies
46
00:02:09,088 --> 00:02:11,006
Anton was by far the craziest
47
00:02:11,048 --> 00:02:13,342
and most talented musician
I had ever met
48
00:02:13,384 --> 00:02:15,302
I'm Courtney Taylor
from The Dandy Warhols.
49
00:02:15,344 --> 00:02:17,513
Anton was my friend and my enemy,
50
00:02:17,596 --> 00:02:19,223
the greatest inspiration
51
00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:21,517
and ultimately the greatest regret.
52
00:02:21,559 --> 00:02:25,187
This is the story of us and our bands
53
00:02:25,229 --> 00:02:26,647
over seven years.
54
00:02:55,634 --> 00:02:58,220
# Open up 'cause here I come #
55
00:02:58,262 --> 00:02:59,722
# Here I am #
56
00:03:03,559 --> 00:03:06,395
# With a gift for everyone #
57
00:03:06,478 --> 00:03:07,688
# What I am #
58
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:49,830
You guys took forever to get down here.
59
00:03:49,897 --> 00:03:51,899
We gotta get the amps and just move in
60
00:03:51,941 --> 00:03:53,692
I've been waiting to meet you - Ondi.
61
00:03:53,776 --> 00:03:55,194
Hey, pleased to meet you - Hi.
62
00:03:55,277 --> 00:03:57,696
We first met Ondi
and David in San Francisco.
63
00:03:57,780 --> 00:03:59,281
They came to film us perform,
64
00:03:59,365 --> 00:04:02,076
but we were late, so the club
wouldn't let us play.
65
00:04:02,117 --> 00:04:04,536
They don't want to be filmed by her.
66
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:06,038
It's like... it's unbelievable.
67
00:04:06,121 --> 00:04:09,291
What a fucking blatant display
of another conspiracy by the man
68
00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:12,586
to keep anything worth a fuck out, baby.
69
00:04:12,628 --> 00:04:15,589
It's my goddamn fucking
birthday for Christ's sakes.
70
00:04:15,631 --> 00:04:17,883
Dig that cat, man - Gimme a break.
71
00:04:17,967 --> 00:04:19,152
How old are you turning today?
72
00:04:19,176 --> 00:04:21,929
I'm 29 on the 29th of August
73
00:04:21,971 --> 00:04:23,681
I was born in the Summer of Love.
74
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:27,309
And speaking of love, I'd like y'all to meet
75
00:04:27,351 --> 00:04:29,603
my beautiful French girlfriend, Sophie.
76
00:04:31,981 --> 00:04:33,440
Hi - What a nice couple, huh?
77
00:04:33,482 --> 00:04:34,900
Va-va-voom.
78
00:04:37,236 --> 00:04:39,405
Because they don't like love They.
79
00:04:40,364 --> 00:04:42,658
Dig it, baby
I'm loving what I'm seeing, man.
80
00:04:42,741 --> 00:04:44,910
- But dig these boots, man.
- Head to toe, hip to hip.
81
00:04:44,994 --> 00:04:46,954
So where you wanna go play tonight?
82
00:04:46,996 --> 00:04:48,276
Right fucking here - Seriously?
83
00:04:48,372 --> 00:04:49,248
I guess we gotta take
84
00:04:49,331 --> 00:04:50,976
the shit back
to the practice space anyways.
85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,228
- No, let's go somewhere.
- No, we gotta have a revolution.
86
00:04:53,252 --> 00:04:54,670
We just gotta usher this shit in.
87
00:04:54,753 --> 00:04:56,356
If somebody wants to distribute
our records
88
00:04:56,380 --> 00:04:58,007
and allow us absolute freedom,
89
00:04:58,048 --> 00:05:00,175
then I'm not opposed
to people making money.
90
00:05:00,259 --> 00:05:02,052
It's just, it's a mafia.
91
00:05:02,761 --> 00:05:05,042
And, um, until they can write
the letter that I'm writing,
92
00:05:05,097 --> 00:05:06,937
they are the postman
and I'm the letter writer.
93
00:05:07,016 --> 00:05:08,225
Period End of discussion.
94
00:05:08,267 --> 00:05:10,394
This is my representation of the vibe
95
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:13,979
Hootie & the Blowfish
and all that stuff, it's cool
96
00:05:14,023 --> 00:05:15,607
I sold 20 million records.
97
00:05:15,691 --> 00:05:17,276
But the fact is they're not sexy
98
00:05:17,359 --> 00:05:20,070
and their music isn't fun to have sex to.
99
00:05:20,154 --> 00:05:22,215
And so it doesn't matter because
there's a lot of people that
100
00:05:22,239 --> 00:05:24,074
face it... don't have sex.
101
00:05:24,116 --> 00:05:26,952
So, at least 11 million people, right?
102
00:05:27,036 --> 00:05:29,163
And that accounts for their fan base.
103
00:05:29,246 --> 00:05:30,914
Hey, we got a party to go to tonight.
104
00:05:30,998 --> 00:05:33,584
- We got a party to play Yeah.
- Alright, great Yeah.
105
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:35,794
- Wanna play a party?
- 210 Waller Street.
106
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:37,713
Uh, hello? Hello?
You guys ready?
107
00:05:38,255 --> 00:05:39,941
Ladies and gentlemen,
I wanna introduce a band
108
00:05:39,965 --> 00:05:41,425
that knows where I live.
109
00:05:41,467 --> 00:05:43,302
The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
110
00:05:56,523 --> 00:05:59,693
# What you want is
you want me, you don't know #
111
00:06:03,781 --> 00:06:07,326
# You're better off 'cause
it's going too slow-slow #
112
00:06:09,119 --> 00:06:10,537
# Go #
113
00:06:10,621 --> 00:06:12,414
# Well, I know what you want #
114
00:06:12,456 --> 00:06:14,625
# Won't you just reach out and grab it? #
115
00:06:24,134 --> 00:06:25,427
# Go #
116
00:06:26,637 --> 00:06:28,073
What's different
about Jonestown?
117
00:06:28,097 --> 00:06:29,139
It's real.
118
00:06:29,223 --> 00:06:30,140
It's the band that you love to hate
119
00:06:30,224 --> 00:06:31,451
and the band that you hate to love.
120
00:06:31,475 --> 00:06:33,811
Live performances are infamous for 'em
121
00:06:33,852 --> 00:06:36,021
This is my 12th, uh, 12th time
122
00:06:36,105 --> 00:06:37,665
- I've seen the Massacre.
- Brian Jonestown.
123
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:39,191
- Really?
- 12th.
124
00:06:39,274 --> 00:06:40,984
- Just...
- Within six months.
125
00:06:41,026 --> 00:06:42,420
I was completely blown away
126
00:06:42,444 --> 00:06:44,863
I have never seen anything
like that It was like
127
00:06:45,823 --> 00:06:48,325
so retro and so the future,
128
00:06:48,367 --> 00:06:50,035
It was mayhem on stage.
129
00:06:50,119 --> 00:06:52,538
Three guitar players Tambourine player.
130
00:06:52,621 --> 00:06:53,997
An insane singer.
131
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:55,332
The music was fantastic
132
00:06:55,374 --> 00:06:56,875
I've never seen anything like it.
133
00:07:10,722 --> 00:07:12,850
The only band I've ever made
the effort to go and see
134
00:07:12,891 --> 00:07:14,685
in the last three years
is Brian Jonestown
135
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:19,857
Anton, to me, is the best '60s revivalist
136
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:21,900
there has been since the '60s.
137
00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:24,695
Musically, he's a genius.
138
00:07:25,362 --> 00:07:27,823
Oh, I think he has
an incredible ear for music
139
00:07:27,865 --> 00:07:30,534
and for reinterpreting the past
140
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,286
and putting it in the future.
141
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:35,205
It's American heritage reinterpreted
142
00:07:35,247 --> 00:07:38,000
Anton created this kind of scene
143
00:07:38,041 --> 00:07:40,252
and everyone else has built upon it.
144
00:07:40,335 --> 00:07:43,046
This is one of my friend's
bands that, um, us...
145
00:07:43,088 --> 00:07:45,007
Between us and a couple other bands,
146
00:07:45,048 --> 00:07:48,385
we're actually gonna kick off
a-a full musical revolution.
147
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:50,053
So forget about the other bands.
148
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:52,890
This is a whole 'nother level
of the American underground
149
00:07:52,973 --> 00:07:54,641
that I'm gonna help expose.
150
00:07:54,725 --> 00:07:56,369
So tell me right now
you've never ever heard.
151
00:07:56,393 --> 00:07:57,644
The Dandy Warhols before.
152
00:07:57,728 --> 00:07:58,913
I've never heard
The Dandy Warhols before.
153
00:07:58,937 --> 00:08:00,290
Well, let's just see what they sound like.
154
00:08:00,314 --> 00:08:02,274
Get ready
for a massive concussion
155
00:08:02,357 --> 00:08:05,861
of rock and roll with The Dandy Warhols
156
00:08:24,922 --> 00:08:27,466
We write we write
our kinds of music together.
157
00:08:27,549 --> 00:08:29,510
- We're really good friends.
- oh, really?
158
00:08:29,593 --> 00:08:32,179
Yeah, we-we've got a
full-scale revolution going on
159
00:08:41,939 --> 00:08:43,374
- They're really bitchin'
- They in Portland?
160
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:44,483
Yeah, we're neighbors.
161
00:08:44,566 --> 00:08:46,652
We're building a studio Isn't that rad?
162
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:48,338
You know exactly
where you're building a studio?
163
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:50,906
Yeah we're getting clown,
We're gonna take over the world.
164
00:08:52,491 --> 00:08:56,119
Yeah And we're gonna show you
how to do it too.
165
00:08:56,161 --> 00:08:57,805
How to take over the world?
166
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:59,206
Fuck yeah - In five steps?
167
00:08:59,289 --> 00:09:00,457
On your movie.
168
00:09:15,097 --> 00:09:17,474
We actually got a tape of Anton's,
169
00:09:17,516 --> 00:09:20,727
like, about the same time
we formed the band,
170
00:09:20,811 --> 00:09:23,188
and then a year later,
we went down to San Francisco
171
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:24,815
to play some parties and
172
00:09:26,024 --> 00:09:27,484
sure enough, Anton walked in
173
00:09:27,526 --> 00:09:31,071
and we definitely
recognized him instantly.
174
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:32,990
It could be nobody else.
175
00:09:33,031 --> 00:09:34,866
We were playing and these
two guys walk in
176
00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:37,369
just like Mr Cool
177
00:09:37,452 --> 00:09:39,037
in their black leather junkie jackets
178
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:40,247
and all this stuff
179
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:42,374
and we're like, "Alright, who's that?"
180
00:09:42,457 --> 00:09:43,542
They just looked amazing.
181
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:45,061
Like, they had the fucking coolest hair
182
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:47,045
and they were styled out, like so hip
183
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:48,523
that it was like it kind of intimidated us.
184
00:09:48,547 --> 00:09:50,632
We were like, "Oh, my God" You know?
185
00:09:50,716 --> 00:09:52,360
This is kinda what we expected
from a big city.
186
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:53,844
You know? It was like, "Oh, shit".
187
00:09:53,885 --> 00:09:55,846
And then we just, like, hung out all night
188
00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:57,889
and just got fucking loaded.
189
00:09:57,931 --> 00:09:59,975
Yes. Won't you, won't you join us?
190
00:10:01,018 --> 00:10:03,186
God, that E just wore off
in a hot second, man.
191
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:06,231
It was awesome
We had, like, the best time.
192
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:08,400
Right on, brother.
193
00:10:08,483 --> 00:10:10,527
- I swear, best band in America.
- Wow.
194
00:10:10,569 --> 00:10:13,030
They're so fucking amazing.
195
00:10:13,071 --> 00:10:15,532
No label will touch 'em They're so crazy
196
00:10:15,574 --> 00:10:16,575
I've never seen them eat.
197
00:10:16,658 --> 00:10:18,386
All I've seen them do is, like, drink liquor
198
00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:20,245
and snort drugs
199
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:22,247
That's like, that's all they do, you know?
200
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,560
If it was our band,
it would've been speed.
201
00:10:43,602 --> 00:10:45,896
But the Dandys loved their blow
202
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:47,898
and we were always happy to oblige
203
00:10:57,032 --> 00:11:00,494
- Joel, do you want some more?
- Yes, please.
204
00:11:01,078 --> 00:11:02,412
Oh, my God
205
00:11:03,747 --> 00:11:05,791
This is a very strange gathering
206
00:11:09,127 --> 00:11:11,338
I suppose it's time for a costume change.
207
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:19,137
They're just our buddies.
208
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:20,847
They're our alter egos in some way,
209
00:11:20,931 --> 00:11:24,518
inspiring each other to create
and be successful
210
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:27,270
Our bands
played together a lot
211
00:11:27,312 --> 00:11:28,897
over the next couple years,
212
00:11:29,439 --> 00:11:31,191
and it was rock.
213
00:11:34,111 --> 00:11:37,239
# I'm not tired #
214
00:11:38,281 --> 00:11:40,492
# I'm not bad #
215
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:45,914
We actually had something
special going for a while
216
00:11:45,997 --> 00:11:47,374
and it was exciting.
217
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:48,476
People will always say, you know,
218
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:50,228
"Well, what music
do you like at the moment?"
219
00:11:50,252 --> 00:11:52,629
And I would say, you know,
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
220
00:11:52,671 --> 00:11:53,797
and The Dandy Warhols.
221
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:55,340
Jonestown and the Dandys
222
00:11:55,382 --> 00:11:57,008
have a window of opportunity.
223
00:11:57,092 --> 00:11:59,136
They can relate to suburban people,
224
00:11:59,177 --> 00:12:02,514
drug people, and they can also
relate to Literary people
225
00:12:02,556 --> 00:12:04,307
and also to people who have
226
00:12:04,349 --> 00:12:06,768
some real knowledge
of how music developed.
227
00:12:12,023 --> 00:12:15,610
In 1996, my band,
The Dandy Warhols,
228
00:12:15,694 --> 00:12:17,779
were in a studio in our
hometown of Portland, Oregon
229
00:12:17,863 --> 00:12:20,615
recording our first album
for Capitol Records.
230
00:12:20,699 --> 00:12:22,176
Now, unlike
The Brian Jonestown Massacre,
231
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,035
we had just signed with a major label
232
00:12:24,077 --> 00:12:25,162
and of course, they thought
233
00:12:25,203 --> 00:12:27,581
we were gonna be the next big thing.
234
00:12:27,664 --> 00:12:32,127
They-they have the potential to
be a very big band because they
235
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:34,421
have created a world of their own
236
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:35,881
as The Dandy Warhols world
237
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:39,217
and that they don't therefore
belong to any particular trend.
238
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:40,259
Whoo!
239
00:12:40,927 --> 00:12:44,055
Our first record
for Capitol took two tries.
240
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:45,766
The first time it got rejected,
241
00:12:45,849 --> 00:12:48,977
they had the gall to tell me
that there was no songs.
242
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:51,313
It just really pissed me off and I got all
243
00:12:52,731 --> 00:12:54,232
uppity about it.
244
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:56,443
And, "Who are you to tell me
what a song is?
245
00:12:56,526 --> 00:12:58,278
You who have written so many songs?
246
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,322
How many? None,
between the two of you ever?"
247
00:13:00,405 --> 00:13:03,033
So, then I think I ended that by saying,
248
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:05,202
"I sneeze and hits come out."
249
00:13:05,827 --> 00:13:10,457
To which Perry said,
"Well, if that's the case,
250
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:13,794
well, I'm sure Capitol will have
no problem finding the funds
251
00:13:13,877 --> 00:13:16,087
to finance your handkerchiefs"
252
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:17,398
I think it's like something, what is it?
253
00:13:17,422 --> 00:13:21,092
Like, 85 to 90% of
all records made never recoup.
254
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,779
Which doesn't mean to say
you really, really succeed.
255
00:13:22,803 --> 00:13:23,970
That's all you do is recoup.
256
00:13:24,054 --> 00:13:25,615
So the odds are that
, The Dandy Warhols,
257
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:27,057
like everybody else, will fail
258
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:35,649
Courtney's had so much stress
with this record.
259
00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:38,985
As much as I'd ever wanna diss
Courtney on any aspect,
260
00:13:39,069 --> 00:13:41,238
I'd never say he wasn't
a good songwriter,
261
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:43,990
and I'd never say
I didn't like what he was doing,
262
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:46,243
and I'd never say he wasn't
getting more pressure
263
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:47,244
than anyone in the band.
264
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:49,454
And that's why I'm totally glad
I'm not the singer.
265
00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:52,916
Today, I mixed 13 songs
starting at 7:00 a m
266
00:13:52,999 --> 00:13:56,086
I was done by one o'clock,
found a drummer,
267
00:13:56,169 --> 00:13:57,546
taught him all the tunes,
268
00:13:58,213 --> 00:14:00,131
didn't do anything else on my birthday
269
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:01,091
1996
270
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:02,759
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
271
00:14:02,801 --> 00:14:03,969
had a record out.
272
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:06,346
They were on a lot of A&R hot lists.
273
00:14:06,429 --> 00:14:07,681
They were in hit magazines
274
00:14:07,722 --> 00:14:10,058
as one of the bands
that was the most courted.
275
00:14:10,141 --> 00:14:12,686
The-the... It's a fabulous record.
276
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:15,689
People were jealous of our
sheer ambition that we have
277
00:14:15,730 --> 00:14:18,775
and the fact that we're like
the most prolific people
278
00:14:18,817 --> 00:14:20,652
probably in North America.
279
00:14:20,694 --> 00:14:23,029
The Brian Jonestown
Massacre had released
280
00:14:23,071 --> 00:14:27,200
three full-length albums in just that year:
281
00:14:27,284 --> 00:14:29,160
Their Satanic Majesties'
Second Request,
282
00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:30,203
Take It From The Man!,
283
00:14:30,287 --> 00:14:32,038
and Thank God for Mental Illness.
284
00:14:32,122 --> 00:14:35,917
Five, six, seven It's magic.
285
00:14:40,005 --> 00:14:41,798
In September of 1996,
286
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,342
we came down to LA to play some shows.
287
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,469
This is back when we were
one of ten bands.
288
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:47,971
Ondi and David were following
289
00:14:48,054 --> 00:14:50,223
for a film they called The Cut.
290
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:54,102
All the bands in this film are
gonna break up and, uh, sell out
291
00:14:54,185 --> 00:14:57,063
except for us, we're here in
this movie to teach you
292
00:14:57,856 --> 00:14:59,065
how to be you.
293
00:14:59,107 --> 00:15:01,693
On this night,
we had a big industry showcase
294
00:15:01,735 --> 00:15:03,486
but there was dissension in the ranks
295
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:05,047
because Anton had spent all the money
296
00:15:05,071 --> 00:15:06,865
for our trip on sitars
297
00:15:06,948 --> 00:15:12,245
# You are love, you are love #
298
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:19,210
# And I'm ever so welcome to know me #
299
00:15:20,003 --> 00:15:22,172
We're gonna end up
with fucking a million sitars
300
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:25,467
and fucking living
on the street, you know?
301
00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:27,844
- The guy does not know how.
- That was not a group choice
302
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:30,513
- to buy the sitars?
- No I had no, no...
303
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:32,599
None of us had any say in that -No.
304
00:15:32,641 --> 00:15:34,768
That's what I was trying to say to him.
305
00:15:34,809 --> 00:15:37,204
That was sent for the band to
get down here to play this show
306
00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:39,040
I thought there was gonna be
more money, you know?
307
00:15:39,064 --> 00:15:41,191
And the money was sent
to get down here
308
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:42,984
and to put us up when we get down
309
00:15:43,068 --> 00:15:45,904
got down here, to buy food,
to buy cigarettes, whatever.
310
00:15:45,946 --> 00:15:48,031
Now we don't have any money
for any of that
311
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:50,241
I'm just saying don't
fucking, fuck with me
312
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:52,702
I'm not fucking with you
I'm trying to explain things.
313
00:15:52,786 --> 00:15:54,513
And if you don't wanna listen
to the way people feel,
314
00:15:54,537 --> 00:15:56,432
if you don't wanna listen
to other people's opinions,
315
00:15:56,456 --> 00:15:58,667
then fucking go off and do it yourself
316
00:15:58,750 --> 00:16:00,585
and be loved by your fucking self,
317
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:01,586
and nobody will love you
318
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:03,672
because you don't wanna
deal with other people.
319
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:05,608
Cool And I won't have
any headaches either.
320
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:07,109
Well, great - I don't do anything wrong.
321
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:09,362
- That's why I don't say sorry.
- You do do things wrong.
322
00:16:09,386 --> 00:16:11,155
And that's the fucking
first step in being human
323
00:16:11,179 --> 00:16:13,390
is realizing that you do
and making 'em better.
324
00:16:13,473 --> 00:16:15,183
You guys are fucking cracked, man
325
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:16,452
I don't fucking worry about
326
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:18,120
I don't even fucking worry about this shit
327
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:20,522
I don't fucking do it wrong
I'm just telling you a fact.
328
00:16:20,605 --> 00:16:22,941
You know what? Every religion
329
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:25,151
makes people fucking... You know what?
330
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:28,238
Every fucking spiritual belief,
you burn in hell
331
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:31,908
for pretending to be God and
not being able to back it up
332
00:16:32,909 --> 00:16:35,012
I've been fucking working
with the guy for like six years
333
00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:36,639
I've been helping him
He wouldn't be where he is
334
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:39,833
if it wasn't for the things
I've put into it also
335
00:16:39,916 --> 00:16:41,793
- ?
- And you know what do I get - Yeah
336
00:16:41,835 --> 00:16:44,504
I get, you know,
fucking totally talked down to
337
00:16:44,587 --> 00:16:46,965
I get, you know,
anytime I disagree with him,
338
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,508
he tries to make a fool of me.
339
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:50,093
Matt was the other singer,
340
00:16:50,176 --> 00:16:51,845
had written some of the songs,
341
00:16:51,886 --> 00:16:53,555
and he could take Anton on,
342
00:16:53,638 --> 00:16:55,515
but these other guys
were new to the party.
343
00:16:55,598 --> 00:16:58,226
They had no idea
what they were getting into.
344
00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:00,854
You guys cannot get that way
on stage though.
345
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:02,564
No, we can't - Or it's over It's over.
346
00:17:02,647 --> 00:17:04,458
You might as well get
in your cars and go home.
347
00:17:04,482 --> 00:17:06,082
Here's
the fresh-faced college boy
348
00:17:06,109 --> 00:17:08,945
that thought he could wrangle
The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
349
00:17:08,987 --> 00:17:10,697
He won't last the night.
350
00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:12,907
If he can't come to terms with himself,
351
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:14,510
you know, and realize
there are other people involved,
352
00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:17,620
then there's no point in
taking this to the extreme.
353
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:19,056
And there's a new guitar player
354
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,415
of the responsible type,
355
00:17:20,498 --> 00:17:23,293
seeing an opportunity here to be just that.
356
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:24,812
He doesn't know how to support himself.
357
00:17:24,836 --> 00:17:27,422
He's been homeless for five years or so.
358
00:17:27,464 --> 00:17:29,608
When he tells me he doesn't
wanna sign with a major label,
359
00:17:29,632 --> 00:17:32,010
is he serious
that he wouldn't go that route?
360
00:17:32,093 --> 00:17:33,762
He always talks about doing it though.
361
00:17:33,803 --> 00:17:36,264
Yeah I mean, that's
that's why we came down here.
362
00:17:36,306 --> 00:17:37,867
- Yeah That's why we came here.
- Well, his whole thing,
363
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:40,268
he wants to try and rip 'em off
in some way or something.
364
00:17:40,351 --> 00:17:42,329
Well, he doesn't want them
to take advantage of him.
365
00:17:42,353 --> 00:17:44,647
But in order to not get
taken advantage of,
366
00:17:44,731 --> 00:17:47,275
he wants to take advantage
of everybody else, you know?
367
00:17:47,358 --> 00:17:49,652
And then you're just as corrupt
as the system
368
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:51,571
that you're trying not to be corrupted by
369
00:17:51,613 --> 00:17:52,822
I'm calling the Viper Room.
370
00:17:53,782 --> 00:17:55,718
I'm gonna get some information
that was withheld from me
371
00:17:55,742 --> 00:17:57,344
'cause I don't like the way
this is happening.
372
00:17:57,368 --> 00:17:59,245
- What did they tell you?
- Hey Hello.
373
00:17:59,287 --> 00:18:01,098
My name is Anton
I'm playing in a band tonight.
374
00:18:01,122 --> 00:18:02,791
In a scramble for more funds,
375
00:18:02,874 --> 00:18:05,168
Anton is trying to shake down
the record companies
376
00:18:05,251 --> 00:18:06,503
who could be signing us
377
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:07,938
by taking them off of the guest list.
378
00:18:07,962 --> 00:18:09,047
Mm This is Anton.
379
00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:10,399
But since when did record labels
380
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:12,217
ever actually pay to get in?
381
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:14,677
I don't wanna pay, um,
382
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:17,639
uh, pay, right, and comp in
people from the industry.
383
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,474
If you can imagine,
384
00:18:19,516 --> 00:18:21,059
they all make
much more money than me
385
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:22,352
so they can pay to get in.
386
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:25,563
I'm not upset at all I'm just
alleviating the situation
387
00:18:25,647 --> 00:18:27,774
I wanna make sure that
we have gas money to get home.
388
00:18:27,816 --> 00:18:29,484
Pretty funny, huh?
389
00:18:29,567 --> 00:18:32,237
Seymour Stein told me,
"Sign them right away.
390
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,989
With a name like that,
you can't go wrong.
391
00:18:35,073 --> 00:18:37,242
You have my blessings Go, girl".
392
00:18:37,992 --> 00:18:41,079
And um but I had to convince, ,
393
00:18:41,162 --> 00:18:42,831
a couple of other people
from the company.
394
00:18:42,914 --> 00:18:44,833
And I took my boss, Nancy Jeffries,
395
00:18:44,916 --> 00:18:46,960
who was the head
of the A&R Department,
396
00:18:47,001 --> 00:18:51,214
to a show in Los Angeles that
we set up especially for her,
397
00:18:51,297 --> 00:18:54,092
so she could witness them
and make up her own opinion
398
00:18:54,175 --> 00:18:57,178
and see if we wanted to put
mega dollars behind them
399
00:18:57,220 --> 00:19:00,515
and it was the biggest
disaster I had ever witnessed
400
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:07,021
Stand back I'm armed and dangerous.
401
00:19:07,105 --> 00:19:08,731
That means you, feds Ha.
402
00:19:10,024 --> 00:19:11,025
Come and get us.
403
00:19:14,946 --> 00:19:17,073
We were unable
to make him happy.
404
00:19:17,115 --> 00:19:19,576
Instead, this happened
405
00:19:22,287 --> 00:19:24,414
Okay, check it out This song is for Ondi.
406
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:26,207
She's filming us, and her brother Dave,
407
00:19:26,249 --> 00:19:28,668
they're making a movie
about how stupid people are
408
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:30,461
and how beautiful they are
at the same time.
409
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:33,965
Hell, yeah.
410
00:19:34,048 --> 00:19:36,759
So these songs we're playing tonight,
411
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:37,886
we have a lot of records,
412
00:19:37,927 --> 00:19:40,013
we put out six
full-length albums this year.
413
00:19:40,054 --> 00:19:41,115
And that's why we're gonna get
414
00:19:41,139 --> 00:19:42,491
the biggest record deal in history
415
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:44,434
because we're smart.
416
00:19:45,518 --> 00:19:46,978
Are we ready? Ready?
417
00:19:56,404 --> 00:19:57,715
Now, if Anton
thought that anyone
418
00:19:57,739 --> 00:19:59,240
screwed up during a song,
419
00:19:59,324 --> 00:20:01,910
he would immediately correct them.
420
00:20:12,462 --> 00:20:15,089
- Get off my stage right now.
- Hey, hey, hey.
421
00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:17,508
Fuck you You don't tell me
to "Fuck you" I'm in your band.
422
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:22,138
Hey, fuck that Nobody's
gonna say "Fuck you" to me
423
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:24,182
on my stage with my band.
424
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:27,143
Fuck you Get off my stage
'cause you don't have a band.
425
00:20:27,185 --> 00:20:29,771
So what was that first song?
"I Am Love"? What?
426
00:20:33,441 --> 00:20:34,317
This guy wasn't long
427
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,486
for The Brian Jonestown Massacre
428
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:38,047
Okay I need a fucking drink,
429
00:20:38,071 --> 00:20:39,364
I'm not getting paid.
430
00:20:39,447 --> 00:20:41,574
Send a waitress up here right now
431
00:20:42,617 --> 00:20:43,761
or else we're fucking leaving.
432
00:20:43,785 --> 00:20:45,804
We already played for
these people that stayed for us.
433
00:20:45,828 --> 00:20:48,498
Give us fucking drinks
or fuck off, we're leaving.
434
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:50,959
This is fucking bullshit
You don't pay somebody.
435
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:53,836
We want a drink
We're playing, we're sweating
436
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,756
I'm working harder
than you, motherfucker!
437
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:01,678
But check out when the bouncers
come up to beat us up
438
00:21:01,761 --> 00:21:03,763
we outnumber the fucking bouncers!
439
00:21:03,805 --> 00:21:05,306
Look around you!
440
00:21:05,348 --> 00:21:08,017
Look, there's more of us.
441
00:21:08,101 --> 00:21:10,144
There's more of us Let's get 'em.
442
00:21:10,186 --> 00:21:12,438
Alright, this next song's about love,
443
00:21:12,522 --> 00:21:14,190
and it's called well "Love", ,
444
00:21:15,525 --> 00:21:18,152
Hey, quit... Hey, I'm gonna have
the bouncers beat you up
445
00:21:18,194 --> 00:21:20,029
if you don't stop stepping
on their mics, man.
446
00:21:20,113 --> 00:21:21,632
They don't like that Pick that shit up.
447
00:21:21,656 --> 00:21:22,656
Bring 'em on!
448
00:21:22,699 --> 00:21:24,659
Pick that fucking shit up and quit.
449
00:21:24,701 --> 00:21:27,745
Hey, you fucking asshole,
you get outta here too
450
00:21:27,829 --> 00:21:30,665
I'll play by myself, Dean
You go have a drink Bye Watch.
451
00:21:36,212 --> 00:21:37,547
Pick that fucking shit up!
452
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:39,716
Hey, stand the fuck back, motherfucker!
453
00:21:48,224 --> 00:21:51,227
Here it is.
Our embarrassing party video
454
00:21:51,269 --> 00:21:54,230
that for all involved will never go away
455
00:21:56,232 --> 00:21:58,526
What the fuck is going on here?
456
00:21:59,986 --> 00:22:01,696
What the fuck.
457
00:22:03,364 --> 00:22:05,199
They even spoofed it
on Gilmore Girls.
458
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:09,620
I'm here to destroy the system,
so stay outta my way!
459
00:22:09,704 --> 00:22:10,830
- Hey!
- And you need to.
460
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:16,419
And, yep, that's me.
461
00:22:16,502 --> 00:22:19,672
It was a very strange day in Hollywood,
462
00:22:19,756 --> 00:22:20,840
but back to reality
463
00:22:25,511 --> 00:22:27,847
He fucking broke my sitar, motherfucker.
464
00:22:30,475 --> 00:22:32,602
- You okay, man?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
465
00:22:32,685 --> 00:22:33,685
Did you get hurt?
466
00:22:33,728 --> 00:22:35,021
- Is that blood on you?
- Yeah.
467
00:22:35,104 --> 00:22:37,106
- From where?
- From people's faces.
468
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:38,524
He wants to be a rebel.
469
00:22:38,608 --> 00:22:41,027
He doesn't wanna conform, he doesn't.
470
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:43,821
He wants to be successful
in one part, but he doesn't...
471
00:22:43,905 --> 00:22:45,990
He can't admit that to himself,
472
00:22:46,074 --> 00:22:49,243
so he completely sabotaged
that-that showcase.
473
00:22:49,285 --> 00:22:50,995
He knew what was at stake.
474
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:53,539
He knew he could have gotten
a million-dollar deal
475
00:22:53,623 --> 00:22:54,791
if he had played it right
476
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:56,542
I think my running total, um,
477
00:22:56,626 --> 00:23:00,463
is 21 official quits
478
00:23:01,672 --> 00:23:02,672
of the band.
479
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:03,716
After last night,
480
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,260
are you still in the band?
481
00:23:07,220 --> 00:23:08,554
I don't know.
482
00:23:08,638 --> 00:23:11,349
Nobody punched me,
so I guess I'm clear.
483
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:13,142
For most band conflicts I've seen,
484
00:23:13,226 --> 00:23:15,269
usually it's because
two or three guys in a band
485
00:23:15,311 --> 00:23:17,855
can't get along together
because of some girlfriend
486
00:23:17,939 --> 00:23:19,690
or because they both wanna
write the songs
487
00:23:19,774 --> 00:23:22,402
or it's-it's some kind
of typical situation like that.
488
00:23:22,485 --> 00:23:23,837
This is not a personality conflict,
489
00:23:23,861 --> 00:23:25,655
it's a vision of the world.
490
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:28,032
Sometimes, people
go past the boundaries
491
00:23:28,116 --> 00:23:30,910
of-of-of good and evil or-or whatever
492
00:23:30,993 --> 00:23:33,246
boundaries of common sense
493
00:23:33,329 --> 00:23:35,665
we all operate under into another realm.
494
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:38,000
And-and we call these people prophets.
495
00:23:38,084 --> 00:23:39,524
Jesus Christ was a person like this,
496
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:40,837
so was Charles Manson.
497
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,463
They transcend the normal world
498
00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:43,464
and they set their own
499
00:23:43,506 --> 00:23:44,507
Adolf Hitler
500
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:45,675
Exactly Standards.
501
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:47,260
Yeah, megalomaniacs
502
00:23:47,343 --> 00:23:49,220
Anton sees himself in that mold.
503
00:23:49,303 --> 00:23:50,930
That's where his problem
comes, you know,
504
00:23:51,013 --> 00:23:52,890
trying to integrate his mystical vision
505
00:23:52,974 --> 00:23:54,892
with his messed up personality.
506
00:23:54,976 --> 00:23:58,312
And it's, it's really
heart-wrenching to see it.
507
00:23:58,354 --> 00:24:01,482
He's not just a jerk, you know, he's-he's
508
00:24:01,524 --> 00:24:04,402
he's almost like one of these people
509
00:24:04,485 --> 00:24:07,113
who stumbles out of the desert,
screaming, "I've seen God!"
510
00:24:07,196 --> 00:24:08,656
You know?
511
00:24:08,698 --> 00:24:11,367
"We understand that
we are your backup musicians
512
00:24:11,409 --> 00:24:13,077
and we take musical direction from you.
513
00:24:13,161 --> 00:24:14,412
You, on the other hand,
514
00:24:14,495 --> 00:24:15,895
understand that we are human beings
515
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:18,624
and don't wanna be treated
like shit " Something like that."
516
00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:20,209
Yeah - Okay.
517
00:24:20,293 --> 00:24:22,795
In his mind, no one can play the music
518
00:24:22,879 --> 00:24:24,079
as well as he could, you know.
519
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:26,883
If Anton had his way,
he would clone himself
520
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:28,551
and he'd have six other Antons
521
00:24:28,593 --> 00:24:30,237
and they'd all be playing,
like, the instruments.
522
00:24:30,261 --> 00:24:32,054
Anton on drums, Anton on bass,
523
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:34,348
Anton on all the guitars, and whatever.
524
00:24:34,891 --> 00:24:36,267
I don't like being robbed from,
525
00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:39,228
and it's highly against the
law, stealing from people.
526
00:24:39,312 --> 00:24:40,938
How have you been robbed?
527
00:24:41,022 --> 00:24:42,398
Well, we'll see, won't we?
528
00:24:43,941 --> 00:24:46,903
I'm not for sale Do you understand?
529
00:24:46,944 --> 00:24:48,029
I'm not for sale.
530
00:24:49,071 --> 00:24:51,407
- Nobody says that.
- What are you trying to do then?
531
00:24:51,491 --> 00:24:53,075
I'm fucking Love.
532
00:24:53,159 --> 00:24:54,803
Understand what I'm saying?
Like The Beatles.
533
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:56,996
The Beatles were for sale I give it away.
534
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:00,666
It cost me $17
I paid for this record, right?
535
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:02,394
- I used the money...
- It cost you 17 bucks?
536
00:25:02,418 --> 00:25:05,505
Seventeen bucks to make
Thank God for Mental Illness.
537
00:25:05,588 --> 00:25:07,256
No shit, and I'm gonna show you
538
00:25:07,298 --> 00:25:08,650
'cause we're-we're gonna
go up to Oregon
539
00:25:08,674 --> 00:25:10,927
I'm gonna record a bunch more
records and you can see.
540
00:25:13,304 --> 00:25:14,573
Anton had been threatening
541
00:25:14,597 --> 00:25:16,265
to move to Portland for months.
542
00:25:16,307 --> 00:25:19,268
But when he finally showed up
with all of his belongings,
543
00:25:19,310 --> 00:25:22,730
we realized he had intended
to move in with us.
544
00:25:22,772 --> 00:25:24,649
We couldn't really take him in.
545
00:25:24,732 --> 00:25:27,527
I'm in Portland now, kids
It was a rough trip.
546
00:25:27,610 --> 00:25:28,945
- It was a rough trip?
- Yes
547
00:25:36,827 --> 00:25:38,704
Hey - Won't you take my flower?
548
00:25:40,122 --> 00:25:42,333
I picked it for you - Thank you.
549
00:25:44,418 --> 00:25:46,754
This is Barry Simons, my attorney.
550
00:25:46,837 --> 00:25:49,632
He's the easiest client I have to deal with
551
00:25:49,674 --> 00:25:53,844
mostly because, um, Anton
does all his own negotiations
552
00:25:55,513 --> 00:25:58,099
I basically mop up a little bit
here and there, you know.
553
00:25:58,182 --> 00:25:59,451
How did you hook up with them?
554
00:25:59,475 --> 00:26:01,203
I went to see them play
at an after-hours party
555
00:26:01,227 --> 00:26:02,895
when it was raided by the police,
556
00:26:02,979 --> 00:26:04,313
and they didn't play.
557
00:26:04,814 --> 00:26:06,357
And then the next time I saw them,
558
00:26:06,399 --> 00:26:09,026
they were playing on the roof of, uh,
559
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:12,029
a house on Haight Street
doing their Let It Be session,
560
00:26:12,113 --> 00:26:14,699
I mean, literally playing
outside on the rooftop,
561
00:26:14,740 --> 00:26:15,741
and the police showed up.
562
00:26:15,825 --> 00:26:17,135
So at first, I got the impression
563
00:26:17,159 --> 00:26:18,160
that ever time they play,
564
00:26:18,202 --> 00:26:20,413
the police were gonna show up
and it was gonna be,
565
00:26:20,496 --> 00:26:23,207
you know, they were gonna need
me there just to talk for them
566
00:26:23,291 --> 00:26:24,685
From your history
in the music industry,
567
00:26:24,709 --> 00:26:27,587
would you say that bands
benefit from record deals?
568
00:26:27,670 --> 00:26:29,880
- From record deals?
- Yeah Like bands, like
569
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:31,173
I haven't heard of one,
570
00:26:31,215 --> 00:26:33,384
but I'm quite prepared for the eventuality.
571
00:26:34,093 --> 00:26:35,803
I think Joel said it all, you know
572
00:26:38,848 --> 00:26:41,475
The eventuality
of staying warm and snug
573
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:42,893
with the Dandys up in Portland
574
00:26:42,977 --> 00:26:44,103
wasn't to be.
575
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:45,187
So we ended up living
576
00:26:45,229 --> 00:26:47,440
in a freezing warehouse rehearsal space
577
00:26:47,523 --> 00:26:49,191
Going up Top floor.
578
00:26:49,233 --> 00:26:53,404
Pantyhose, illegal drugs, and cigarettes.
579
00:26:53,487 --> 00:26:55,239
Oh, you're supposed to push "stop".
580
00:26:55,323 --> 00:26:56,741
Oh, well My hairspray.
581
00:26:57,658 --> 00:27:00,369
Protect-o, Final Net.
582
00:27:00,411 --> 00:27:02,246
An after-rinse for that hold,
583
00:27:02,330 --> 00:27:03,970
that the weather you just can't count on.
584
00:27:05,041 --> 00:27:07,043
Hello, darling I'm home What's for tea?
585
00:27:08,294 --> 00:27:10,355
Do you find Portland
creatively inspiring, Anton?
586
00:27:10,379 --> 00:27:12,340
No I find it dismal.
587
00:27:13,424 --> 00:27:15,092
It was a terrible mistake
to come up here,
588
00:27:15,176 --> 00:27:16,260
but we did it.
589
00:27:16,344 --> 00:27:18,572
And now that we're here,
there's nothing we can say, huh?
590
00:27:18,596 --> 00:27:21,057
Do you feel like
you're in exile here?
591
00:27:21,098 --> 00:27:23,434
ooh, baby, baby!
592
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:27,188
It's really been good for my hopeless,
593
00:27:27,271 --> 00:27:30,816
like, isolated, like, life-is-shit kind of vibe.
594
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:33,402
Did anybody in the band
invite Anton to move here, or.
595
00:27:33,444 --> 00:27:35,738
Well - Or suggest it'd be a good place
596
00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:37,406
for Anton to move, or anything?
597
00:27:38,449 --> 00:27:41,535
I don't know, that's like
inviting Anton to your house.
598
00:27:41,619 --> 00:27:43,454
This is a small town I don't know.
599
00:27:43,496 --> 00:27:45,539
Maybe he expected
to stay with us
600
00:27:45,623 --> 00:27:46,975
and we weren't gonna have him
stay with us
601
00:27:46,999 --> 00:27:49,126
And make
a record with him and.
602
00:27:49,168 --> 00:27:51,462
- And he was...
- And we went on with our lives
603
00:27:51,545 --> 00:27:54,173
because we actually had stuff to do.
604
00:27:54,256 --> 00:27:56,026
We had to get that record
done We had to get it out.
605
00:27:56,050 --> 00:27:57,635
Yeah. We were being productive
606
00:27:57,718 --> 00:27:59,387
The highlight of our long winter
607
00:27:59,470 --> 00:28:01,138
squatting in the freezing warehouse
608
00:28:01,222 --> 00:28:04,266
was when Anton and Sophie
spontaneously tied the knot
609
00:28:04,308 --> 00:28:06,102
for which they imported a hippie priest
610
00:28:06,143 --> 00:28:07,937
who brought a bottle of whiskey.
611
00:28:07,978 --> 00:28:09,647
As the official best man,
612
00:28:09,730 --> 00:28:11,649
I got to sign the marriage certificate,
613
00:28:11,732 --> 00:28:13,067
which filled me with pride,
614
00:28:14,151 --> 00:28:16,278
but it didn't change the fact
we were all sleeping
615
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,488
on one dirty mattress
616
00:28:17,530 --> 00:28:19,156
in pure fucking squalor.
617
00:28:25,663 --> 00:28:27,498
Happy New Year - Happy New Year.
618
00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:29,434
We played
a New Year's show that year,
619
00:28:29,458 --> 00:28:31,502
and Joel, of course, came to party
620
00:28:31,585 --> 00:28:34,463
I didn't notice at the time,
but Anton didn't show.
621
00:28:35,339 --> 00:28:37,174
Any resolutions
this year, Courtney?
622
00:28:37,258 --> 00:28:39,385
Any revolutions for this year, Courtney?
623
00:28:39,468 --> 00:28:41,470
- Revolution?
- Yeah I'm gonna get this,
624
00:28:41,512 --> 00:28:43,389
like, a tattoo of this here.
625
00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:46,475
I like this 'cause it makes me
feel like Amadeus.
626
00:28:47,435 --> 00:28:49,145
oh
627
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,233
Hence my theory.
628
00:28:54,316 --> 00:28:56,986
The Dandy Warhols
are nothing but a bunch of feds.
629
00:28:57,069 --> 00:29:00,364
Yes - Six, five, four,
630
00:29:00,406 --> 00:29:03,200
three, two, one.
631
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:04,952
Happy New Year!
632
00:29:09,081 --> 00:29:10,416
Happy New Year
633
00:29:31,687 --> 00:29:34,023
Quiet The artist needs quiet.
634
00:29:34,106 --> 00:29:37,943
The artist is gonna create
a sound for his concise purpose.
635
00:29:37,985 --> 00:29:40,279
- okay
- Using a modular synthesizing
636
00:29:40,362 --> 00:29:43,282
apparatus from RadioShack
637
00:30:01,425 --> 00:30:05,638
One, two, three, four
638
00:30:13,103 --> 00:30:18,567
# Ooh #
639
00:30:19,401 --> 00:30:23,030
# Say goodbye to Mom and Dad #
640
00:30:23,113 --> 00:30:26,784
# The two best friends I never had... #
641
00:30:31,205 --> 00:30:33,040
# How about you? #
642
00:30:35,668 --> 00:30:38,587
Tony was raised
in a very affluent society.
643
00:30:38,671 --> 00:30:41,382
He had every advantage
a child could possibly have
644
00:30:41,465 --> 00:30:42,984
I mean, he had a lot of disadvantages.
645
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:45,344
Was raised by a single parent
He didn't have a father.
646
00:30:45,427 --> 00:30:47,847
Well, see, that was my fault
Being an alcoholic,
647
00:30:47,930 --> 00:30:50,850
I left the family
when he was about a year,
648
00:30:50,933 --> 00:30:52,309
a year and a half old.
649
00:30:53,936 --> 00:30:56,355
I had shown symptoms of schizophrenia
650
00:30:56,438 --> 00:30:58,816
and I drank every day.
651
00:30:58,858 --> 00:31:00,168
You have to look at... Here's a
652
00:31:00,192 --> 00:31:03,153
here's a very, very superiorly
intelligent child
653
00:31:03,195 --> 00:31:04,697
who knows what the curfew is,
654
00:31:04,738 --> 00:31:08,033
who knows that Newport Beach
strongly enforces the curfew,
655
00:31:08,075 --> 00:31:12,246
who has been arrested 50 times for it,
656
00:31:12,329 --> 00:31:14,123
and yet continues to do it.
657
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:15,766
So when they called me
at work and said,
658
00:31:15,791 --> 00:31:17,376
"You need to come and pick him up,"
659
00:31:17,418 --> 00:31:18,938
when I went to the Newport Beach jail,
660
00:31:19,003 --> 00:31:20,379
I said, "I'm not taking him
661
00:31:20,421 --> 00:31:23,549
I'm not picking him up
I'm tired of doing this".
662
00:31:23,632 --> 00:31:26,385
They said "But you have
to", I said, "No, I don't have to
663
00:31:26,427 --> 00:31:29,221
? What are you gonna do
'Cause I'm not picking him up"
664
00:31:29,305 --> 00:31:31,599
I told him the last time,
665
00:31:31,682 --> 00:31:33,726
"Next time, I won't come get you."
666
00:31:33,809 --> 00:31:37,062
So he was taken to the adolescent unit
667
00:31:37,146 --> 00:31:38,731
by the police, not by me
668
00:31:38,814 --> 00:31:40,774
I signed the papers as his guardian,
669
00:31:40,858 --> 00:31:42,526
but he was taken there by the police.
670
00:31:43,861 --> 00:31:47,114
I hate to see him repeat
his life like myself, you know.
671
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:49,450
Two divorces and, uh
672
00:31:50,492 --> 00:31:52,870
and not getting a chance
to raise your kids.
673
00:31:52,912 --> 00:31:56,248
There was times when Tony
appeared under the influence.
674
00:31:56,332 --> 00:31:58,375
There was times
when he was growing pot
675
00:31:58,417 --> 00:32:00,061
and I was the first one to call the police
676
00:32:00,085 --> 00:32:01,587
and have them come here and get it.
677
00:32:02,338 --> 00:32:04,173
And I guess I sort of thought eventually
678
00:32:04,256 --> 00:32:06,091
he'd get over all this nonsense
679
00:32:06,133 --> 00:32:08,802
and he'd grow up and he'd get a real job,
680
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,971
but he never has.
681
00:32:11,055 --> 00:32:13,766
He feels starved for affection,
I think Love, you know?
682
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:15,768
And as a father, you know, I,
683
00:32:15,851 --> 00:32:17,811
I probably failed immensely, you know,
684
00:32:17,895 --> 00:32:20,397
and I feel guilty about that, you know.
685
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:21,899
If he has abandonment issues,
686
00:32:21,941 --> 00:32:24,652
they're as much my responsibility as his.
687
00:32:24,735 --> 00:32:27,196
You know, I noticed
the album he gave me
688
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:29,657
is Thank God for Mental Illness
689
00:32:42,127 --> 00:32:44,505
- Sad, isn't it?
- Extremely sad.
690
00:32:44,588 --> 00:32:47,257
They are the best two friends I never had.
691
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:48,634
He has no.
692
00:32:48,717 --> 00:32:50,135
He really, as near as I can tell,
693
00:32:50,219 --> 00:32:52,888
doesn't have any family
he can fall back on He.
694
00:32:52,930 --> 00:32:56,684
He, uh, doesn't have any money
He doesn't have a home.
695
00:32:56,767 --> 00:32:58,727
Uh, it's enough to drive anybody crazy.
696
00:32:58,811 --> 00:33:01,647
Now, I think he's a little bit
on the edge besides that.
697
00:33:01,689 --> 00:33:05,567
But, uh, you know, it's,
it's amazing he has.
698
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,822
He can be, uh, uh,
as sane as he usually is.
699
00:33:09,863 --> 00:33:12,157
Actually, he has nobody
You know, he gets help
700
00:33:12,199 --> 00:33:14,284
because the people are...
some people are with him.
701
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:15,369
We are all with him.
702
00:33:15,452 --> 00:33:17,830
But I don't think his family
703
00:33:17,871 --> 00:33:20,082
has ever been very helpful for him.
704
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:22,584
When we got together,
we all realized our parents
705
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:24,187
were all still married, and we were like,
706
00:33:24,211 --> 00:33:26,171
"We're the most well-adjusted
band in America.
707
00:33:27,423 --> 00:33:29,223
We're the most well-adjusted
band in America"
708
00:33:29,967 --> 00:33:33,429
Right on, Courtney Must be nice.
709
00:33:33,512 --> 00:33:35,392
Too bad you didn't even let us
in the front door
710
00:33:35,472 --> 00:33:37,474
during our homeless months in Portland.
711
00:33:37,516 --> 00:33:40,686
Well, life moves on and so did we,
712
00:33:40,728 --> 00:33:44,273
into our very own
rental property in Los Angeles.
713
00:33:44,356 --> 00:33:45,834
The whole band's back together again,
714
00:33:45,858 --> 00:33:48,068
even original guitar player Jef Davies,
715
00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:49,445
fresh from getting clean.
716
00:33:49,528 --> 00:33:50,529
Knock-knock.
717
00:33:51,488 --> 00:33:52,489
Another bathroom.
718
00:33:52,573 --> 00:33:53,866
It was a new beginning.
719
00:33:53,907 --> 00:33:55,576
It's a mansion - There's 14 rooms here.
720
00:33:55,659 --> 00:33:56,659
It's an estate.
721
00:33:57,244 --> 00:33:59,413
Well, you know.
722
00:33:59,496 --> 00:34:02,332
Release the hounds on this.
723
00:34:02,416 --> 00:34:04,960
I've been on couches and
floors for so damn long.
724
00:34:05,002 --> 00:34:07,504
I'm I'm very digging the idea
725
00:34:07,588 --> 00:34:10,716
of having a door that you can close.
726
00:34:10,758 --> 00:34:11,800
Hey, where's Anton at?
727
00:34:11,884 --> 00:34:13,570
He's with Ondi, taking Courtney
to the airport.
728
00:34:13,594 --> 00:34:14,779
I'd been meeting
with Capitol
729
00:34:14,803 --> 00:34:16,597
as I was finishing the record.
730
00:34:16,638 --> 00:34:18,432
I wanted Anton's opinion on a song
731
00:34:18,515 --> 00:34:21,393
everyone expected to be a massive hit
732
00:34:21,435 --> 00:34:24,897
Anton, this is gonna be
This is like such a ridiculous,
733
00:34:24,938 --> 00:34:26,440
super fucking hit.
734
00:34:26,523 --> 00:34:27,691
Okay, here we go.
735
00:34:29,234 --> 00:34:31,570
I'm ready to get silly - Yeah
736
00:34:33,906 --> 00:34:36,116
# I never thought you'd be a junkie #
737
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,870
# Because heroin is so passé #
738
00:34:39,953 --> 00:34:41,747
# But today #
739
00:34:41,789 --> 00:34:44,291
# If you think that I don't know #
740
00:34:44,374 --> 00:34:47,377
# About depression and emotional pain #
741
00:34:47,461 --> 00:34:49,797
Anton didn't react at all.
742
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,801
It kind of bummed me out,
but I think I knew why
743
00:34:53,884 --> 00:34:56,553
Anton inspired Courtney to go
744
00:34:56,637 --> 00:34:59,264
much farther than he's ever gone before.
745
00:34:59,306 --> 00:35:01,642
It was definitely both of them
746
00:35:01,725 --> 00:35:04,353
kind of wanting to be the other person.
747
00:35:04,937 --> 00:35:08,649
I know Courtney's always
wanted that mad genius thing
748
00:35:08,690 --> 00:35:13,445
but is unable or unwilling
to let himself go that far.
749
00:35:13,487 --> 00:35:14,613
Anton and Courtney.
750
00:35:14,655 --> 00:35:16,240
Love-hate relationship, I guess
751
00:35:16,323 --> 00:35:17,842
I think they feel they're on the same level
752
00:35:17,866 --> 00:35:19,385
in a lot of ways, with creative ability.
753
00:35:19,409 --> 00:35:20,678
You know, they challenge each other.
754
00:35:20,702 --> 00:35:21,995
They fuel each other's fire
755
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:24,164
I didn't have
time to reflect much
756
00:35:24,248 --> 00:35:27,042
on Anton's lack of interest
in my new song
757
00:35:27,084 --> 00:35:29,378
'cause mega-celebrity
fashion photographer.
758
00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:30,712
David LaChapelle
759
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:32,381
agreed to do our video.
760
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:36,218
Capitol threw down $400,000
to make this happen.
761
00:35:36,301 --> 00:35:39,054
Suddenly, it felt like
we were gonna be big time
762
00:35:39,096 --> 00:35:40,848
# I never thought you'd be a junkie #
763
00:35:40,889 --> 00:35:44,393
# Because heroin is so passé #
764
00:35:44,476 --> 00:35:45,644
Big money.
765
00:35:45,686 --> 00:35:47,104
Turn around, look at that.
766
00:35:50,524 --> 00:35:53,068
I didn't know it was gonna be
a Dep advertisement
767
00:35:54,111 --> 00:35:57,823
Alcohol-free Dep
gel, mousse, and glaze.
768
00:35:57,865 --> 00:35:59,867
# You gotta get Deputized #
769
00:35:59,908 --> 00:36:01,869
- The '80s angle.
- It was a complete surprise.
770
00:36:01,952 --> 00:36:06,415
# Heroin is so passé, hey #
771
00:36:06,498 --> 00:36:09,376
# Hey, ah... #
772
00:36:13,046 --> 00:36:14,965
I am not going to really collaborate.
773
00:36:15,048 --> 00:36:17,968
If it's great, I'm gonna think
you're fucking great.
774
00:36:18,051 --> 00:36:19,779
If it's not, I'm gonna be
really pissed off at you.
775
00:36:19,803 --> 00:36:22,264
Courtney's having second
thoughts about the entire video.
776
00:36:22,347 --> 00:36:23,992
If we could just reshoot
just the band stuff,
777
00:36:24,016 --> 00:36:25,475
like once my hair grows out a bit.
778
00:36:25,559 --> 00:36:28,353
Okay, redo it, but we have to
redo it 'cause of the hair
779
00:36:28,395 --> 00:36:30,456
- I think they drove out..
- To the "Junkie" shoot.
780
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,041
Yeah, I'm sure
we told them about it and said,
781
00:36:32,065 --> 00:36:35,068
- "Come and eat some free food"
- "Steal some vitamins"
782
00:36:35,152 --> 00:36:36,880
The spread was alright,
but it looks to me
783
00:36:36,904 --> 00:36:38,780
like they wasted 500 grand
784
00:36:38,864 --> 00:36:40,407
before they even had a product.
785
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:42,492
And that's money they had
to pay back to the label
786
00:36:42,576 --> 00:36:43,952
I think I'm beginning to
787
00:36:44,036 --> 00:36:46,914
I'm beginning to grasp the concept here.
788
00:36:48,123 --> 00:36:50,292
The theme is Am I wrong?
789
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:53,086
Passé things, things that are passé.
790
00:36:54,588 --> 00:36:56,348
- This whole thing?
- The whole thing.
791
00:36:58,467 --> 00:37:00,844
Whoa, look at this
Is this all for the Dandys?
792
00:37:00,928 --> 00:37:03,430
Yeah You should have seen them
performing on that stage.
793
00:37:04,806 --> 00:37:06,391
Wow - Yeah.
794
00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:07,643
Is it gonna happen for us?
795
00:37:11,688 --> 00:37:12,749
Ladies and gentleman,
796
00:37:12,773 --> 00:37:15,317
thank you for a good shoot That's a wrap.
797
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,753
Brian Jonestown Massacre
798
00:37:16,777 --> 00:37:18,862
left our video shoot convinced
799
00:37:18,946 --> 00:37:21,740
that we had blown way off course.
800
00:37:21,782 --> 00:37:24,117
I'm sober
801
00:37:24,201 --> 00:37:25,786
I dig everything.
802
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:29,623
Hello, Mr Policeman
803
00:37:29,706 --> 00:37:30,791
I am white.
804
00:37:30,874 --> 00:37:32,727
The guys
in The Brian Jonestown Massacre
805
00:37:32,751 --> 00:37:35,170
actually did the drugs
we were singing about,
806
00:37:35,212 --> 00:37:37,798
and still they seemed to miss
the irony in the song.
807
00:37:37,881 --> 00:37:39,681
And whereas some members
were able to use dope
808
00:37:39,716 --> 00:37:41,009
and be somewhat functional,
809
00:37:41,093 --> 00:37:43,804
it seemed to bring out
a really dark side of Anton.
810
00:37:43,887 --> 00:37:45,767
Why don't you just fucking
take her out of here?
811
00:37:45,806 --> 00:37:47,349
She's crazy or something.
812
00:37:48,141 --> 00:37:51,186
Fuck, I asked her just to leave
me alone for a fucking minute.
813
00:37:51,228 --> 00:37:53,105
Now she wants to smash shit
814
00:37:53,188 --> 00:37:54,499
- and pull my hair.
- She wants love.
815
00:37:54,523 --> 00:37:56,209
- You told me.
- Fuck that!
816
00:37:56,233 --> 00:37:57,359
She just wants love!
817
00:37:57,401 --> 00:37:59,903
Go to sleep It's 2:00 in the morning.
818
00:37:59,987 --> 00:38:02,781
- Fuck this! Leave!
- I wasn't gonna do dope
819
00:38:02,864 --> 00:38:04,700
with you every day.
820
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,994
Doesn't... You're so fucking.
821
00:38:07,035 --> 00:38:08,495
Leave me alone
822
00:38:21,675 --> 00:38:24,094
Sophie left Anton
and never returned.
823
00:38:24,177 --> 00:38:26,263
She actually joined the band
The Minstrels,
824
00:38:26,346 --> 00:38:28,265
fell in love with George, the lead singer,
825
00:38:28,348 --> 00:38:30,517
and together they moved to Tahiti.
826
00:38:31,852 --> 00:38:33,770
Back at the house,
the band was preparing
827
00:38:33,854 --> 00:38:36,273
for a new record and summer tour.
828
00:38:39,067 --> 00:38:41,236
# Time is a handle #
829
00:38:42,362 --> 00:38:44,656
# Lifeless on your wall #
830
00:38:46,408 --> 00:38:49,953
Peter Hayes has joined
the band for an education.
831
00:38:50,037 --> 00:38:51,246
The gun drops.
832
00:38:51,288 --> 00:38:53,749
But don't let
the Hayes Glaze fool you.
833
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:55,876
He had some big stuff cooking.
834
00:38:55,917 --> 00:38:56,960
For now, though,
835
00:38:57,044 --> 00:38:59,588
he's in Anton's School of Hard Knocks.
836
00:39:14,853 --> 00:39:16,104
Yeah, I know Yeah.
837
00:39:19,316 --> 00:39:20,567
We had promised a record
838
00:39:20,609 --> 00:39:22,402
in exchange for a place to live.
839
00:39:22,444 --> 00:39:25,280
So we had to come up with one, fast
840
00:39:25,364 --> 00:39:28,784
Just for one sec
841
00:39:28,867 --> 00:39:30,535
I don't know what
you're gonna I'm gonna
842
00:39:30,619 --> 00:39:32,537
I'm gonna show you something
for one second.
843
00:39:32,621 --> 00:39:34,456
Brad is not
the greatest drummer,
844
00:39:34,539 --> 00:39:37,209
but because his hair
is exactly like Brian Jones',
845
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,961
I'd been able to convince
Anton to take him on.
846
00:39:40,003 --> 00:39:42,506
That-that-that really
isn't a song It doesn't go
847
00:39:44,925 --> 00:39:47,195
I mean you can... you can do it
to the rhythm, but check
848
00:39:47,219 --> 00:39:49,137
there's like a swing to it, so it's all
849
00:40:11,827 --> 00:40:13,703
So many opportunities
have passed
850
00:40:13,787 --> 00:40:15,789
and-and not even been acted upon
851
00:40:15,831 --> 00:40:17,874
that it makes me kind of mad.
852
00:40:17,958 --> 00:40:21,086
My dreams for the next six months are,
853
00:40:21,169 --> 00:40:22,838
that we stop fucking around,
854
00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:24,131
we practice.
855
00:40:24,172 --> 00:40:26,174
There's a million songs that are good.
856
00:40:26,883 --> 00:40:28,635
In the past, I've thought about,
857
00:40:28,677 --> 00:40:30,762
"Why haven't I accomplished more?"
858
00:40:31,555 --> 00:40:34,558
Maybe you don't fail if you don't try.
859
00:40:36,184 --> 00:40:37,686
We should have a fucking party here.
860
00:40:37,769 --> 00:40:39,813
Well,
The Brian Jonestown had a party
861
00:40:39,855 --> 00:40:42,566
to show us their new house
and their cool scene.
862
00:40:42,649 --> 00:40:44,359
Apparently, it was a pretty good party.
863
00:40:44,443 --> 00:40:47,154
In fact, that's Harry Dean Stanton there
864
00:40:47,195 --> 00:40:51,533
# Train, train #
865
00:40:54,911 --> 00:40:57,372
# Rolling down that track #
866
00:40:58,290 --> 00:41:00,417
This was the stuff
dreams were made of.
867
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:02,085
Harry Dean Stanton,
868
00:41:02,169 --> 00:41:06,381
star of Repo Man, Paris, Texas,
Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks,
869
00:41:06,465 --> 00:41:07,549
the list goes on.
870
00:41:07,591 --> 00:41:10,719
Sitting on my bed, jamming
871
00:41:18,059 --> 00:41:19,603
But The Dandys missed it all.
872
00:41:19,686 --> 00:41:20,812
They were across town
873
00:41:20,896 --> 00:41:22,498
with their fancy
fashion photographer friend.
874
00:41:22,522 --> 00:41:24,274
There they are Alright
875
00:41:24,357 --> 00:41:27,444
Bring the film crew Nice hat
876
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:29,696
Hello Hi - Mwah!
877
00:41:34,367 --> 00:41:35,952
Take it - Look at the fingers.
878
00:41:38,663 --> 00:41:40,373
I decided
that the BJM house,
879
00:41:40,415 --> 00:41:42,292
the day after they threw a party,
880
00:41:42,375 --> 00:41:44,002
would be the perfect location
881
00:41:44,085 --> 00:41:46,171
for a Dandy Warhols' photo shoot.
882
00:41:46,254 --> 00:41:47,894
What I wanna do is,
I wanna go out to this
883
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:52,135
really, really fucked household.
884
00:41:52,219 --> 00:41:54,971
Yeah, I didn't
bother to warn the guys.
885
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:56,866
When we did
the photo shoot in their house,
886
00:41:56,890 --> 00:41:58,350
I just couldn't believe it.
887
00:41:59,601 --> 00:42:03,146
They had no furniture, hardly
Everything was on the floor.
888
00:42:03,188 --> 00:42:05,148
It was like a squat, a hovel.
889
00:42:05,941 --> 00:42:07,651
How do you guys live like this?
890
00:42:07,734 --> 00:42:09,528
There was dish soap on the kitchen table
891
00:42:09,611 --> 00:42:11,738
and maybe an empty 40-ouncer
892
00:42:11,821 --> 00:42:14,032
and some guitar amps
and stuff in the living room.
893
00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:16,826
Matt Hollywood,
there's a lot of people
894
00:42:16,868 --> 00:42:18,328
walking into your house right now.
895
00:42:19,204 --> 00:42:20,997
There's a whole photo shoot
about to happen
896
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:23,333
and your house is trashed.
897
00:42:23,416 --> 00:42:24,918
You guys partied last night
898
00:42:25,001 --> 00:42:28,588
I think that it's a good idea,
having the photo shoot here
899
00:42:28,672 --> 00:42:31,591
so that they can pretend
that they had a big party.
900
00:42:32,926 --> 00:42:35,262
They've come for our minds
901
00:42:42,352 --> 00:42:45,021
Oh, this is great It's got two mirrors.
902
00:42:49,693 --> 00:42:51,921
You guys, we have to do this
other one 'cause there's like...
903
00:42:51,945 --> 00:42:54,090
It's tiny, there's two mirrors
that face each other like this,
904
00:42:54,114 --> 00:42:56,866
so we can give the total shot
with a bunch of reflections.
905
00:42:56,908 --> 00:43:00,120
Do the cut Do the cut - Do the cut.
906
00:43:00,203 --> 00:43:01,705
Yeah - I won't kill you
907
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:04,916
Zia, look over here again.
908
00:43:05,834 --> 00:43:07,919
Good. Good Okay.
909
00:43:08,003 --> 00:43:10,380
They're copping our whole gig
We have to live there, baby.
910
00:43:10,422 --> 00:43:12,215
Oh, no, we're certainly not gonna say
911
00:43:12,257 --> 00:43:13,842
it's our house It'll be like.
912
00:43:13,883 --> 00:43:15,218
Oh - Certainly not.
913
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:17,280
You're not gonna say it's
our house either, now are you?
914
00:43:17,304 --> 00:43:20,015
Yeah, we are
We're gonna say, caption one,
915
00:43:20,056 --> 00:43:21,725
"Every day, The Dandy Warhols
916
00:43:21,766 --> 00:43:24,394
wake up together
in the home of a different band.
917
00:43:24,436 --> 00:43:26,229
Today it's, The Brian
Jonestown Massacre"
918
00:43:29,065 --> 00:43:31,776
But how much do we get paid?
919
00:43:31,860 --> 00:43:34,029
I know, all we're talking about
is dough, baby.
920
00:43:34,070 --> 00:43:37,240
- Dough??
- Where's the dough See.
921
00:43:37,282 --> 00:43:39,200
Now, if we take pictures
in our own house.
922
00:43:39,242 --> 00:43:40,636
Now, if we take pictures
in our own house,
923
00:43:40,660 --> 00:43:42,662
people are gonna accuse us
of ripping you guys off.
924
00:43:42,746 --> 00:43:44,080
In our own house.
925
00:43:45,373 --> 00:43:47,584
I guess
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
926
00:43:47,626 --> 00:43:49,210
wanted revenge.
927
00:43:49,252 --> 00:43:51,588
So when they scammed
some time at a local studio,
928
00:43:51,630 --> 00:43:53,006
they wrote us a song
929
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:55,370
"Not If You Were The
Last Fucking Dandy on Earth".
930
00:43:55,425 --> 00:43:56,801
That's the name of our song.
931
00:43:56,885 --> 00:43:59,596
She looks like she's about ready
to get robbed, to me, you know
932
00:43:59,679 --> 00:44:01,973
"I want those fucking bastards dead.
933
00:44:02,057 --> 00:44:04,517
They're jeopardizing the Dandys' career!"
934
00:44:05,769 --> 00:44:06,978
Pretty hot, huh?
935
00:44:07,062 --> 00:44:09,105
In fact, I'll put it on
936
00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:13,568
It's so fucking funny.
937
00:44:17,947 --> 00:44:20,158
Move on over, Dandy
938
00:44:22,452 --> 00:44:24,172
They had
scammed a week to record
939
00:44:24,204 --> 00:44:26,122
from an A&R rep who believed in them.
940
00:44:26,164 --> 00:44:28,583
So, as usual,
Anton moved into the studio,
941
00:44:28,625 --> 00:44:30,460
had a bunch of his friends over
942
00:44:30,543 --> 00:44:32,587
and squeezed out an entire album
943
00:44:32,629 --> 00:44:34,255
called Give It Back!
944
00:44:36,383 --> 00:44:38,843
# And we like what you say #
945
00:44:38,927 --> 00:44:40,178
# What you say #
946
00:44:40,261 --> 00:44:42,555
# You got things we should learn #
947
00:44:42,639 --> 00:44:44,140
# Got some things to learn #
948
00:44:44,182 --> 00:44:46,142
# And we like what you're doing #
949
00:44:46,226 --> 00:44:47,811
# Do it more, baby, yeah #
950
00:44:47,894 --> 00:44:49,979
# You got speed to burn #
951
00:44:50,063 --> 00:44:51,648
# Pass it over here #
952
00:44:52,482 --> 00:44:54,943
# And you look so wasted #
953
00:44:56,069 --> 00:44:58,822
# And, baby, I know why #
954
00:45:09,082 --> 00:45:10,875
# And you look so cool #
955
00:45:10,959 --> 00:45:12,836
# Yeah, you look so cool #
956
00:45:12,877 --> 00:45:14,796
# And you look so high #
957
00:45:14,879 --> 00:45:16,798
# And you look so high #
958
00:45:16,881 --> 00:45:18,925
# And we like where we live #
959
00:45:19,008 --> 00:45:20,593
# You know where we're livin' #
960
00:45:20,677 --> 00:45:23,888
# Come on, drop us a line #
961
00:45:23,930 --> 00:45:27,892
You go
962
00:45:32,063 --> 00:45:33,356
Like a snare roll
963
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,126
- right in the middle of this.
- One, two, three, four.
964
00:45:43,658 --> 00:45:46,244
# Open up 'cause here I come #
965
00:45:46,327 --> 00:45:47,537
# Here I am #
966
00:45:47,620 --> 00:45:48,973
You guys were fucking crazy
967
00:45:48,997 --> 00:45:50,206
at the Viper Room.
968
00:45:50,248 --> 00:45:52,792
- Oh, you saw that?
- Holy Mackerel.
969
00:45:52,876 --> 00:45:55,837
That's a fucking three-ring
circus if I ever saw one
970
00:45:59,966 --> 00:46:00,966
Wow.
971
00:46:17,442 --> 00:46:18,735
Now what I want you to do
972
00:46:18,818 --> 00:46:21,070
is, like, assemble out of all these ideas,
973
00:46:21,112 --> 00:46:23,281
what you think is just like
the awesome song
974
00:46:23,323 --> 00:46:25,950
and just write it down so it can be read.
975
00:46:25,992 --> 00:46:27,619
That's why I saved space on here.
976
00:46:39,088 --> 00:46:41,299
Full speed ahead,
Captain And
977
00:46:43,551 --> 00:46:46,012
All the sounds I can make
with my nois... my mouth.
978
00:46:49,307 --> 00:46:50,183
Ah!
979
00:46:50,266 --> 00:46:52,435
A day at the studio with the BJM.
980
00:46:52,477 --> 00:46:54,145
Miranda was a model.
981
00:46:54,229 --> 00:46:56,439
She'd even done
milk commercials as a teen,
982
00:46:56,481 --> 00:46:58,858
but she also was a talented singer
983
00:46:58,942 --> 00:47:01,736
with a voice like an angel's angel
984
00:47:02,779 --> 00:47:05,365
I dedicate this chord
985
00:47:06,199 --> 00:47:07,199
to you.
986
00:47:08,993 --> 00:47:10,495
That totally was it.
987
00:47:10,537 --> 00:47:13,498
It's such
an interesting case study.
988
00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:15,792
What, in the end,
will yield people success?
989
00:47:15,875 --> 00:47:18,711
We're like, "Shit man,
what if it doesn't happen?"
990
00:47:18,795 --> 00:47:21,798
"This Is Why You Love Me"
is recorded already,
991
00:47:21,881 --> 00:47:23,508
two steps... notches above that,
992
00:47:23,550 --> 00:47:25,468
so that it blows up their speakers with a.
993
00:47:25,510 --> 00:47:27,011
# I heard you say #
994
00:47:28,596 --> 00:47:31,724
Okay? So that song dies out
and then it's immediately um,
995
00:47:33,643 --> 00:47:35,895
The "Satellite" will just kind of like.
996
00:47:35,979 --> 00:47:37,647
That-that is... It's like
997
00:47:42,527 --> 00:47:44,004
The band
finished the record
998
00:47:44,028 --> 00:47:45,947
and prepared to hit the road
the next morning
999
00:47:46,030 --> 00:47:49,033
on their first national tour.
1000
00:47:49,117 --> 00:47:51,369
They never before tried to pull this off.
1001
00:47:51,452 --> 00:47:53,663
They were sure
they would finally get signed,
1002
00:47:53,705 --> 00:47:57,417
so long as Anton could
hold it together out there
1003
00:48:00,545 --> 00:48:04,090
# Love flies above #
1004
00:48:05,216 --> 00:48:07,051
Come on, let's go!
1005
00:48:22,984 --> 00:48:25,028
Don't let the hair scare you, babies.
1006
00:48:27,655 --> 00:48:28,489
It's time to go on
1007
00:48:44,881 --> 00:48:46,901
In Raleigh, me and Joel
were walking down the street
1008
00:48:46,925 --> 00:48:50,094
and this this, uh, truck pulls up,
1009
00:48:50,136 --> 00:48:52,180
or drives by next to us, and I hear this,
1010
00:48:52,263 --> 00:48:54,432
"There's two click suckers there"
1011
00:48:56,476 --> 00:48:58,061
And I just like, "Whatever, man.
1012
00:48:58,102 --> 00:48:59,395
Laugh all you want, redneck
1013
00:48:59,437 --> 00:49:01,230
I'm on my way to your girlfriend's house".
1014
00:49:01,272 --> 00:49:03,524
It was kind of embarrassing
though 'cause we were
1015
00:49:05,026 --> 00:49:06,795
we were sucking
each other's dicks at the time.
1016
00:49:06,819 --> 00:49:07,820
Yeah - So.
1017
00:49:07,904 --> 00:49:09,906
So, I'm really happy that everybody came.
1018
00:49:09,948 --> 00:49:12,784
Um, this is our first time through America.
1019
00:49:16,204 --> 00:49:18,289
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro!
1020
00:49:23,544 --> 00:49:26,339
Under The Ohio
Communist Party headquarters,
1021
00:49:26,422 --> 00:49:28,549
we played for an audience of ten
1022
00:49:29,342 --> 00:49:31,928
for almost as many hours.
1023
00:50:02,625 --> 00:50:04,961
Three sets, four sets - One giant set.
1024
00:50:05,044 --> 00:50:08,089
No, no, you ain't done
till we say you're done
1025
00:50:08,172 --> 00:50:12,218
I'm in charge now, man
You know, fuck Dan.
1026
00:50:12,301 --> 00:50:14,804
Hey, we'll feed you, we'll please you.
1027
00:50:14,887 --> 00:50:17,056
That shit You know, people,
1028
00:50:17,140 --> 00:50:19,225
I can't believe no one would show up.
1029
00:50:19,267 --> 00:50:21,561
Look at that dog Man
1030
00:50:24,731 --> 00:50:28,985
What the hell? This is the band that rules
1031
00:50:36,784 --> 00:50:38,619
Yeah, I should figure something out
1032
00:50:44,959 --> 00:50:50,548
It's so easy to do now
It's so simple to do now.
1033
00:50:50,590 --> 00:50:51,966
Why don't you up...
1034
00:50:52,008 --> 00:50:56,137
You know, you can fucking stop
the fascism in a second.
1035
00:50:56,220 --> 00:50:58,806
That's why I made you that tape, man.
1036
00:50:58,890 --> 00:51:01,642
You know? Of Longmont Potion Castle.
1037
00:51:01,726 --> 00:51:03,895
Crank calls, man, you're gonna love it
1038
00:51:03,936 --> 00:51:05,772
I made you the tape Yeah.
1039
00:51:05,855 --> 00:51:07,774
Right on - It's all at the same point.
1040
00:51:08,608 --> 00:51:10,109
- You know?
- What's the point?
1041
00:51:12,111 --> 00:51:13,780
To stop.
1042
00:51:13,863 --> 00:51:15,823
To-to crack everybody up.
1043
00:51:15,907 --> 00:51:18,951
Slack everybody up Crack and slack.
1044
00:51:18,993 --> 00:51:21,204
One, two, three, four!
1045
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:41,974
Brian Jonestown.
1046
00:51:44,060 --> 00:51:46,395
You'll find a piece of them in everybody.
1047
00:51:53,027 --> 00:51:54,612
I got some pussy now.
1048
00:51:58,407 --> 00:52:01,369
Mad Duck Dallas
Brother, what's the prediction?
1049
00:52:01,452 --> 00:52:03,204
I don't think you're gonna get the turnout
1050
00:52:03,287 --> 00:52:05,998
that you think, but who knows?
1051
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:07,583
And there we have it, folks.
1052
00:52:07,667 --> 00:52:09,585
We're packing up and we're leaving now.
1053
00:52:09,669 --> 00:52:11,587
Run for your lives - You need to.
1054
00:52:18,678 --> 00:52:19,887
Pixy Stix.
1055
00:52:19,971 --> 00:52:21,514
It's little crystal candy.
1056
00:52:21,597 --> 00:52:23,224
Most people take it through the mouth,
1057
00:52:23,307 --> 00:52:25,726
but I like to get straight to the high.
1058
00:52:25,810 --> 00:52:27,895
He's snorting it.
1059
00:52:27,979 --> 00:52:29,605
Oh, Jesus Christ
1060
00:52:29,689 --> 00:52:30,690
I can fly.
1061
00:52:32,191 --> 00:52:34,193
But after fueling up and gigging,
1062
00:52:34,277 --> 00:52:35,987
the shit really hit the fan.
1063
00:52:36,028 --> 00:52:37,697
Ah!
1064
00:52:37,738 --> 00:52:40,533
- This shit I can't...
- You play fucking video games
1065
00:52:40,575 --> 00:52:41,868
I don't care - It's cool, man.
1066
00:52:41,909 --> 00:52:43,345
Oh, I can play fucking computer games
1067
00:52:43,369 --> 00:52:45,329
I can fucking escape into a fantasy world
1068
00:52:45,371 --> 00:52:47,915
I can get you to Chicago,
I can also leave you here,
1069
00:52:47,999 --> 00:52:49,041
you fucking turd.
1070
00:52:49,125 --> 00:52:52,378
And now you have us
and you have a fucking life.
1071
00:52:52,461 --> 00:52:54,714
No, you don't give me any life, man.
1072
00:52:54,755 --> 00:52:56,382
You're not life, you guys are death.
1073
00:52:56,424 --> 00:52:58,009
You're just fucked-up death
1074
00:52:58,050 --> 00:53:01,888
I've been busting my ass
for you pussies for so long,
1075
00:53:01,971 --> 00:53:04,932
and I get your fucking mouth
and I get your shit.
1076
00:53:05,016 --> 00:53:07,643
- You don't have to work.
- I will fucking kill you.
1077
00:53:07,727 --> 00:53:09,770
Matt and Peter took of.
1078
00:53:09,854 --> 00:53:13,399
They figured they could walk
back to California.
1079
00:53:13,441 --> 00:53:14,567
He might come back this way.
1080
00:53:14,609 --> 00:53:16,694
Can you guys just chill for ten minutes,
1081
00:53:16,736 --> 00:53:17,945
like, where this van is?
1082
00:53:18,029 --> 00:53:20,990
Oh, man, okay.
1083
00:53:21,908 --> 00:53:23,552
- You're gonna give us?
- Pull into my spot or whatever
1084
00:53:23,576 --> 00:53:25,369
or by that alley and just wait,
1085
00:53:25,411 --> 00:53:27,038
in case they come back out this way.
1086
00:53:27,079 --> 00:53:28,915
Otherwise, we'll lose 'em forever
1087
00:53:32,668 --> 00:53:33,836
What's up, Ondi?
1088
00:53:36,589 --> 00:53:38,799
What do you wanna do?
Do you wanna go to Columbus?
1089
00:53:41,761 --> 00:53:42,845
I don't know.
1090
00:53:44,096 --> 00:53:45,139
I mean, do we stay?
1091
00:53:45,181 --> 00:53:46,641
There's no reason to be in Columbus
1092
00:53:46,724 --> 00:53:48,476
and wonder if the band broke up or not.
1093
00:53:48,517 --> 00:53:49,644
- You know?
- Yeah.
1094
00:53:50,645 --> 00:53:52,021
It's just the usual crap.
1095
00:53:52,813 --> 00:53:53,814
No, no.
1096
00:53:53,898 --> 00:53:56,859
This is to be expected, you know?
1097
00:53:56,943 --> 00:53:59,070
But it's always... It's
held together this far.
1098
00:54:01,864 --> 00:54:04,158
You know?
What do you got written here?
1099
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:08,663
"Life on the road with, um,
The Brian Jonestown Massacre."
1100
00:54:10,456 --> 00:54:12,291
"Fight" Oh, wait
1101
00:54:12,333 --> 00:54:17,129
"is getting exhausting,
fighting all the time
1102
00:54:17,171 --> 00:54:18,923
I don't think
1103
00:54:20,049 --> 00:54:22,843
the greatest rock and roll
band in America
1104
00:54:22,927 --> 00:54:25,179
"will ever overcome itself"
1105
00:54:26,389 --> 00:54:28,849
It's just not what
this is about, Anton, you know?
1106
00:54:28,933 --> 00:54:30,518
No, this is what it's about.
1107
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:34,188
I know,
but this is not what it's about.
1108
00:54:34,230 --> 00:54:35,830
No, this is what it's always been about.
1109
00:54:36,732 --> 00:54:38,401
Do you want me to go look around?
1110
00:54:38,484 --> 00:54:40,027
If you want to.
1111
00:54:40,069 --> 00:54:42,196
You came halfway across country
to film a band
1112
00:54:42,238 --> 00:54:45,783
that's full of total fuckups,
and you know that though.
1113
00:54:47,034 --> 00:54:48,995
You think the band
is gonna go on?
1114
00:54:49,036 --> 00:54:50,555
I mean do you think,
Matt's gonna come back?
1115
00:54:50,579 --> 00:54:52,081
We're gonna go on no matter what.
1116
00:54:53,082 --> 00:54:55,543
Not without Matt
and Peter, to New York.
1117
00:54:55,626 --> 00:54:57,211
It's gonna go on no matter what.
1118
00:55:01,173 --> 00:55:02,258
Not this trip.
1119
00:55:02,383 --> 00:55:04,135
This trip's going on no matter what
1120
00:55:04,218 --> 00:55:06,220
I'm going to New York
with or without these people,
1121
00:55:06,262 --> 00:55:08,097
whether they play or don't play.
1122
00:55:10,558 --> 00:55:12,202
Well - I'll turn it into a vacation
1123
00:55:12,226 --> 00:55:14,645
if I have to I ain't
out here for nothing, man.
1124
00:55:15,896 --> 00:55:20,276
Basically, the guys walked off,
away from our whole camp
1125
00:55:20,359 --> 00:55:22,695
in the middle of the night, drunk as hell.
1126
00:55:22,737 --> 00:55:26,365
And Peter being this young,
immature, fucking stupid
1127
00:55:26,407 --> 00:55:30,619
here comes a cop... hippie
fucking dumb-ass that he's being,
1128
00:55:30,703 --> 00:55:31,703
went with him,
1129
00:55:32,455 --> 00:55:35,416
and they walked away
from my scene completely
1130
00:55:35,499 --> 00:55:39,086
and we've been up the alleyways
back and forth.
1131
00:55:39,128 --> 00:55:41,255
Here comes the sun It's the next day.
1132
00:55:41,297 --> 00:55:44,592
We've been looking forever
and they're not here They
1133
00:55:44,633 --> 00:55:48,763
I'm sober and I drank a lot more
than they did and I'm sober now.
1134
00:55:48,804 --> 00:55:52,767
They haven't come back
Therefore, what do we do?
1135
00:55:52,808 --> 00:55:57,813
Choice one, we leave Peter
and Matt in Chicago for evermore
1136
00:55:57,897 --> 00:55:59,273
and never see them again.
1137
00:56:00,232 --> 00:56:04,153
We finally found them,
but we were miserable.
1138
00:56:04,236 --> 00:56:05,696
And what made it even worse?
1139
00:56:05,780 --> 00:56:07,281
We knew the Dandys were out there
1140
00:56:07,323 --> 00:56:09,283
somewhere living the dream
1141
00:56:33,641 --> 00:56:37,269
# Summertime, if I was getting paid #
1142
00:56:37,812 --> 00:56:41,148
# For getting drunk and getting laid #
1143
00:56:41,774 --> 00:56:43,734
# I'd grab a phone and call you... #
1144
00:56:43,818 --> 00:56:45,420
We came back
to Los Angeles to discover
1145
00:56:45,444 --> 00:56:47,405
that Capitol had
not been promoting our choice
1146
00:56:47,488 --> 00:56:49,698
for a second single, "Boys Better,"
1147
00:56:49,782 --> 00:56:50,967
because our first single, "Junkie,"
1148
00:56:50,991 --> 00:56:53,369
hadn't broken the Top 20 on U S Radio.
1149
00:56:53,994 --> 00:56:55,162
I called the label,
1150
00:56:55,204 --> 00:56:58,499
but couldn't get anyone
to assume responsibility.
1151
00:57:00,292 --> 00:57:02,711
Well, I'd really love to have
a successful single
1152
00:57:02,795 --> 00:57:04,213
I'd like to have, you know?
1153
00:57:06,507 --> 00:57:08,008
Yeah Mm-hmm.
1154
00:57:08,592 --> 00:57:10,261
You haven't scheduled any time,
1155
00:57:10,344 --> 00:57:12,680
like a week or whatever, to do radio.
1156
00:57:13,681 --> 00:57:17,017
Um, as early as possible would
probably be really good for
1157
00:57:17,101 --> 00:57:18,686
good for my band at least.
1158
00:57:18,727 --> 00:57:19,871
You're saying that you don't carry
1159
00:57:19,895 --> 00:57:21,272
a lot of weight around Capitol?
1160
00:57:21,355 --> 00:57:22,833
Well, I'm just telling you
1161
00:57:22,857 --> 00:57:25,693
that-that it's like, it's not up to me, really
1162
00:57:25,776 --> 00:57:26,837
Yeah, but everybody says
1163
00:57:26,861 --> 00:57:28,404
it's not up to them around there.
1164
00:57:28,487 --> 00:57:30,156
The suits were clearly disappointed
1165
00:57:30,197 --> 00:57:31,490
that our band hadn't turned out
1166
00:57:31,532 --> 00:57:33,701
to be an overnight sensation.
1167
00:57:33,784 --> 00:57:36,203
Apparently, the "Junkie" video
had been put on hold
1168
00:57:36,245 --> 00:57:39,039
because Capitol repo'd
the footage from LaChapelle
1169
00:57:39,081 --> 00:57:40,916
I thought they put
too much makeup on me.
1170
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,376
Take my name off of it
1171
00:57:42,460 --> 00:57:44,086
I talked to Courtney last night.
1172
00:57:44,170 --> 00:57:46,547
He's like, he doesn't want
any close-ups in it.
1173
00:57:46,589 --> 00:57:48,924
He wants it to be
a performance spectacle.
1174
00:57:49,008 --> 00:57:52,136
He wrote me this smoochy-coochy
letter "You, Salvador".
1175
00:57:52,219 --> 00:57:54,513
Compared me to Salvador Dali
and Man Ray,
1176
00:57:54,597 --> 00:57:56,575
and like, "You do whatever
you want," and this and that.
1177
00:57:56,599 --> 00:57:58,410
And then, you know, as soon
as I'm done with the video,
1178
00:57:58,434 --> 00:58:00,078
he thinks he can just start
screaming at me
1179
00:58:00,102 --> 00:58:01,437
at the top of his fucking lungs
1180
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,399
and, like, acting like a huge
spoiled Baby Huey Uh-uh.
1181
00:58:05,483 --> 00:58:07,735
But he's not like an alternative rock star.
1182
00:58:07,776 --> 00:58:11,280
He's a pop star I mean, he's
like an R&B act or something.
1183
00:58:11,322 --> 00:58:13,991
You know, like I'm obsessed
with their face, how they look
1184
00:58:14,074 --> 00:58:18,037
I said to him, you know,
"This is how you look."
1185
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:23,542
This isn't some weird, you know,
sort of special-effecty video
1186
00:58:23,626 --> 00:58:25,228
where... You know, this is like, you know,
1187
00:58:25,252 --> 00:58:28,297
pretty diffused light on you
1188
00:58:28,380 --> 00:58:29,590
and you look...
1189
00:58:29,632 --> 00:58:31,634
You know, Zia looks like how Zia looks,
1190
00:58:31,717 --> 00:58:33,552
the dancers looked how they looked,
1191
00:58:33,636 --> 00:58:35,221
and you look how you look,
1192
00:58:35,304 --> 00:58:37,431
and that's how you look.
1193
00:58:37,473 --> 00:58:39,517
"This is you"
What did he say?
1194
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:43,312
He started screaming that
he has clone thousands of videos.
1195
00:58:43,395 --> 00:58:45,147
He used the word "thousands"
1196
00:58:45,231 --> 00:58:48,150
"I've done thousands of videos
and I know how I look"
1197
00:58:48,234 --> 00:58:50,319
Dealing with diva
fashion photographers
1198
00:58:50,402 --> 00:58:52,655
and evasive record label executives
1199
00:58:52,696 --> 00:58:54,657
was starting to really get me down.
1200
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,867
Seemed the only inspiration
I found at the label
1201
00:58:56,951 --> 00:58:58,231
was looking through the pictures
1202
00:58:58,285 --> 00:58:59,119
of the shoot we staged
1203
00:58:59,161 --> 00:59:00,788
at the Jonestown house.
1204
00:59:02,790 --> 00:59:05,793
Uh, didn't we have fun
at The Brian Jonestown house?
1205
00:59:06,877 --> 00:59:09,672
I found one of those driveway
car deals, caught up
1206
00:59:09,755 --> 00:59:12,341
with The Brian Jonestown
Massacre in Detroit,
1207
00:59:12,424 --> 00:59:15,094
and found out that Anton had
written a couple songs for me.
1208
00:59:18,973 --> 00:59:21,517
# Courtney Taylor #
1209
00:59:21,559 --> 00:59:23,894
# You're a hell of a guy,
don't you know? #
1210
00:59:24,812 --> 00:59:27,356
# I met you in the van after the show #
1211
00:59:30,067 --> 00:59:31,193
Okay? This song's called.
1212
00:59:31,277 --> 00:59:33,404
"Not If You Were
The Last Dandy On Earth."
1213
00:59:33,487 --> 00:59:34,947
Oh - Ready?
1214
00:59:37,199 --> 00:59:39,034
# Take my money #
1215
00:59:41,036 --> 00:59:43,163
# Take my time #
1216
00:59:44,873 --> 00:59:46,709
# Take my sister #
1217
00:59:48,711 --> 00:59:52,423
# I don't mind #
1218
00:59:52,506 --> 00:59:55,217
- That's psychotic, huh?
- Dude, that's so good.
1219
00:59:55,301 --> 00:59:58,846
I will personally
tolerate more shenanigans
1220
00:59:58,887 --> 01:00:03,267
from that fucking Anton just
because he makes and has made
1221
01:00:03,350 --> 01:00:08,188
such unbelievably powerful
and important records
1222
01:00:09,189 --> 01:00:15,237
# And I turn to Jesus
when I lost all my friends #
1223
01:00:15,279 --> 01:00:19,408
# And the good times all ended #
1224
01:00:19,450 --> 01:00:22,745
# With my money, I spent it #
1225
01:00:41,555 --> 01:00:43,682
Fuck that I didn't drive
across the country
1226
01:00:43,766 --> 01:00:46,143
to get a bunch of shit from you Fuck that
1227
01:00:46,226 --> 01:00:50,939
I work fucking hard I work fucking hard.
1228
01:00:50,981 --> 01:00:52,792
Well, they didn't
know what to call this one.
1229
01:00:52,816 --> 01:00:54,276
A newspaper called it a "riot."
1230
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,080
See, the audience had attacked
the film crew
1231
01:00:56,111 --> 01:00:58,864
for filming the band,
and then jumped the band
1232
01:00:58,947 --> 01:00:59,966
I thought it was fantastic.
1233
01:00:59,990 --> 01:01:01,259
I could've hit you in the fucking face!
1234
01:01:01,283 --> 01:01:04,411
- You're fucking with our people.
- You fucked with our people!
1235
01:01:04,953 --> 01:01:07,956
I love this This is great
This doesn't happen to my band.
1236
01:01:08,957 --> 01:01:11,627
Doesn't happen to my band This is cool.
1237
01:01:11,669 --> 01:01:15,297
There's this great sense of
expectation and anticipation
1238
01:01:15,339 --> 01:01:17,591
when one goes and sees
Brian Jonestown Massacre
1239
01:01:17,633 --> 01:01:20,052
about exactly what could go down.
1240
01:01:20,135 --> 01:01:21,970
Will there be a knife fight?
1241
01:01:22,012 --> 01:01:23,472
Will one of the band members decide
1242
01:01:23,555 --> 01:01:25,015
they hate the other person so much
1243
01:01:25,099 --> 01:01:26,767
they're gonna slam 'em in the head?
1244
01:01:26,809 --> 01:01:30,437
Will they dissipate
and fall apart after one song?
1245
01:01:30,479 --> 01:01:33,273
Or will someone antagonize
the audience so much
1246
01:01:33,315 --> 01:01:34,501
that you'll end up in a brawl?
1247
01:01:34,525 --> 01:01:36,652
I mean, you just never
quite know what's gonna happen.
1248
01:01:36,735 --> 01:01:38,320
Or will they even make the show?
1249
01:01:38,404 --> 01:01:41,865
You go and see a show, you talk
to fellow A&R people and say,
1250
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:43,992
"Oh, by the way, I flew
down there and I saw them
1251
01:01:44,034 --> 01:01:46,036
and they're insane They can't do it.
1252
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:47,538
Too bad We love 'em.
1253
01:01:47,621 --> 01:01:49,873
We wish 'em good luck,
but can't work with them...
1254
01:01:49,957 --> 01:01:52,000
Are you gonna be like
a big waste of money
1255
01:01:52,042 --> 01:01:53,269
? where they clump all this money.
1256
01:01:53,293 --> 01:01:55,254
You make, like, a record
and then somebody kills,
1257
01:01:55,337 --> 01:01:58,340
you guys kill each other or
split up or whatever, you know?
1258
01:02:09,643 --> 01:02:11,979
We've been driving
since Detroit.
1259
01:02:12,062 --> 01:02:13,230
Been quite a while.
1260
01:02:14,022 --> 01:02:17,776
We've been driving with Dean
and, uh, Anton in this car.
1261
01:02:17,860 --> 01:02:20,446
Trying to stay awake
and smoking a lot of grass
1262
01:02:20,529 --> 01:02:25,075
and doing a lot of dope,
snorting China White.
1263
01:02:25,159 --> 01:02:27,244
So how far are we going today?
1264
01:02:27,286 --> 01:02:29,371
All the way, baby.
1265
01:02:29,413 --> 01:02:32,124
Yeah, this is kind of nutty, you know?
1266
01:02:32,207 --> 01:02:34,293
Like, this is how bands break up.
1267
01:02:34,376 --> 01:02:37,421
If they didn't know that
Ours almost did, you know?
1268
01:02:37,504 --> 01:02:41,800
Oh, gee, you got like a pack
of fucking junkies on the road,
1269
01:02:41,884 --> 01:02:44,970
not eating much, drinking a lot,
1270
01:02:45,763 --> 01:02:47,723
doing dope, and not sleeping.
1271
01:02:47,765 --> 01:02:49,475
Is anybody gonna
get grumpy and irritable
1272
01:02:49,558 --> 01:02:51,602
and start fighting with each other at all?
1273
01:02:51,643 --> 01:02:53,520
No, probably not.
1274
01:02:53,604 --> 01:02:55,939
It's not my tour,
so I'm just having a good time.
1275
01:02:57,399 --> 01:02:58,901
Can I get some reverb in the house?
1276
01:02:59,985 --> 01:03:02,946
Against all odds,
we made it to New York.
1277
01:03:05,949 --> 01:03:07,117
Alright
1278
01:03:12,831 --> 01:03:15,459
I saw Dylan at Gerde's in 1963.
1279
01:03:15,542 --> 01:03:17,562
You know, I've been listening
to this for the last 35 years.
1280
01:03:17,586 --> 01:03:20,047
These guys, whoever it is,
these guys have it.
1281
01:03:20,130 --> 01:03:21,941
What's the name of the group
again? Brian Jones.
1282
01:03:21,965 --> 01:03:24,468
- ..town Massacre.
- I saw this record,
1283
01:03:24,510 --> 01:03:25,636
Satanic Majesties'
1284
01:03:25,719 --> 01:03:27,638
and I went home
and listened to that record
1285
01:03:27,721 --> 01:03:29,199
probably about a hundred times in a row,
1286
01:03:29,223 --> 01:03:30,641
and I was totally obsessed with it.
1287
01:03:30,724 --> 01:03:31,809
And I didn't know
1288
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:33,332
what The Brian Jonestown
Massacre was
1289
01:03:33,393 --> 01:03:35,646
I didn't know if it was
a new band or an old band
1290
01:03:35,729 --> 01:03:38,398
I didn't know if it was
one person or a hundred people
1291
01:03:38,482 --> 01:03:40,460
I just loved this record,
and then saw In the paper
1292
01:03:40,484 --> 01:03:42,069
that they were playing three shows.
1293
01:03:43,570 --> 01:03:44,947
You guys are great, man.
1294
01:03:44,988 --> 01:03:47,032
And I went to all three shows
1295
01:03:47,115 --> 01:03:49,093
I'll just say I'm having
the greatest time of my life.
1296
01:03:49,117 --> 01:03:50,994
First time ever been to New York.
1297
01:03:51,078 --> 01:03:53,497
And on the third one,
I asked Peter Hayes,
1298
01:03:53,539 --> 01:03:55,139
who's now in
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club,
1299
01:03:55,165 --> 01:03:56,226
who was in the band at the time,
1300
01:03:56,250 --> 01:03:58,293
if he could introduce me to Anton
1301
01:04:11,682 --> 01:04:16,353
I wanted to give Anton
my number so he could call me.
1302
01:04:16,436 --> 01:04:18,063
And I didn't have anything to write on
1303
01:04:18,146 --> 01:04:21,233
except for this card
that I had in my wallet
1304
01:04:21,316 --> 01:04:22,943
of all my important phone numbers
1305
01:04:23,026 --> 01:04:24,403
I crossed out all my numbers,
1306
01:04:24,486 --> 01:04:26,172
I wrote down my number on there
and gave it to him.
1307
01:04:26,196 --> 01:04:27,340
And I was like, "You're the only person
1308
01:04:27,364 --> 01:04:28,615
that I need to talk to now"
1309
01:04:28,699 --> 01:04:32,119
# Deep #
1310
01:04:33,287 --> 01:04:35,080
# Inside #
1311
01:04:38,834 --> 01:04:43,213
# Won't beg you #
1312
01:04:44,715 --> 01:04:47,509
# Step inside #
1313
01:04:52,097 --> 01:04:56,560
# Please #
1314
01:04:58,979 --> 01:05:01,899
# Let me take you down #
1315
01:05:01,982 --> 01:05:05,569
# To the place I'm going #
1316
01:05:10,824 --> 01:05:13,410
# More than treasures found #
1317
01:05:13,452 --> 01:05:18,707
# It's just in knowing you #
1318
01:05:18,749 --> 01:05:21,126
I didn't know anything
about their reputation.
1319
01:05:21,209 --> 01:05:23,211
And I was like, anyone
who's making music this good
1320
01:05:23,253 --> 01:05:25,672
deserves to have a record deal
and deserves to be signed.
1321
01:05:25,756 --> 01:05:28,467
Hey, listen Hey, Dennis.
1322
01:05:28,550 --> 01:05:31,261
When people like you and Dave
that know us and are hanging out
1323
01:05:31,303 --> 01:05:34,097
and fucking drunk guys
are hassling Matt in the front,
1324
01:05:34,139 --> 01:05:36,224
you grab Matt or you grab a bouncer
1325
01:05:36,266 --> 01:05:38,685
or you grab the fucking drunk guy
1326
01:05:38,769 --> 01:05:40,270
I don't want no hassles out of people
1327
01:05:40,354 --> 01:05:42,081
that fucking...
like, these leeches behind me
1328
01:05:42,105 --> 01:05:43,273
that just fucking hang out
1329
01:05:43,315 --> 01:05:44,775
and don't do shit when you need it
1330
01:05:44,858 --> 01:05:45,692
I quit
1331
01:05:45,776 --> 01:05:48,153
Anton is a great songwriter
and an arranger,
1332
01:05:48,236 --> 01:05:51,657
but he is so horrible in so many ways
1333
01:05:51,740 --> 01:05:53,217
I mean, we can talk about
truths about me,
1334
01:05:53,241 --> 01:05:55,911
but luckily I'm not on trial and he is
1335
01:05:55,994 --> 01:05:57,829
I won't - Mmm.
1336
01:05:57,913 --> 01:05:59,831
- Who's on trial?
- Anton.
1337
01:05:59,915 --> 01:06:02,084
- With who?
- That thing.
1338
01:06:02,167 --> 01:06:03,627
Fucking hate that guy.
1339
01:06:03,669 --> 01:06:05,420
Like, seriously, but now I'm over it.
1340
01:06:06,004 --> 01:06:07,798
He has a certain way
of dealing with things
1341
01:06:07,839 --> 01:06:10,467
and when he wan... he's obviously
pushing Dave away right now
1342
01:06:10,509 --> 01:06:11,778
and that's how he pushes people away
1343
01:06:11,802 --> 01:06:13,679
is by driving them away.
1344
01:06:13,762 --> 01:06:15,764
He's very inept socially
in that department.
1345
01:06:15,806 --> 01:06:17,446
He's gonna have to change
his personality,
1346
01:06:17,516 --> 01:06:19,935
which he's never gonna do,
he's a 30-year-old kid.
1347
01:06:20,018 --> 01:06:23,146
We're just gonna rent a
fucking? Car Understand.
1348
01:06:23,188 --> 01:06:24,415
We're gonna honor our commitments
1349
01:06:24,439 --> 01:06:26,525
and we're gonna fucking do it for real.
1350
01:06:26,566 --> 01:06:28,169
And we're gonna have fun
It's gonna be like,
1351
01:06:28,193 --> 01:06:30,237
all of a sudden turn into
something really great.
1352
01:06:30,821 --> 01:06:32,006
We just need to score some wheels
1353
01:06:32,030 --> 01:06:33,532
and then we're back on the road.
1354
01:06:33,615 --> 01:06:34,616
Taking over.
1355
01:06:35,158 --> 01:06:37,494
That's what we gotta do.
1356
01:06:37,536 --> 01:06:40,247
Yeah, it's coming
to the punch, man
1357
01:06:40,330 --> 01:06:41,707
We're having the time of our life,
1358
01:06:41,748 --> 01:06:43,458
and the shows
are getting better and better
1359
01:06:43,542 --> 01:06:45,460
and people are really going nuts.
1360
01:06:45,544 --> 01:06:47,504
He's gonna totally try and negotiate
1361
01:06:47,546 --> 01:06:49,631
an immediate one-off record
1362
01:06:49,715 --> 01:06:51,943
and, like, if he can advance us
the money, I'd go, "Cool,"
1363
01:06:51,967 --> 01:06:53,403
'cause if I can get a third up front,
1364
01:06:53,427 --> 01:06:54,594
we'll buy a fucking van
1365
01:06:54,678 --> 01:06:57,222
I've been sitting out here
in this damn van all day
1366
01:06:57,264 --> 01:06:59,307
I've been looking at all these penthouses
1367
01:06:59,391 --> 01:07:00,559
and all these gutters,
1368
01:07:00,642 --> 01:07:03,895
going eeny, meeny, miny, mo
1369
01:07:03,937 --> 01:07:05,605
It's really that
1370
01:07:05,689 --> 01:07:07,733
Is Anton gonna be able
to work something out,
1371
01:07:07,774 --> 01:07:09,484
? get you guys back on the road.
1372
01:07:09,568 --> 01:07:12,112
Anton was unsuccessful
in securing a vehicle
1373
01:07:12,195 --> 01:07:13,947
for the remainder of the tour dates.
1374
01:07:13,989 --> 01:07:15,907
Taxi!
1375
01:07:15,949 --> 01:07:19,494
But despite
having been fired from stage,
1376
01:07:19,578 --> 01:07:21,496
Dave D. Offered to rent us his van.
1377
01:07:22,414 --> 01:07:23,290
I shouldn't do this.
1378
01:07:23,373 --> 01:07:24,583
I wanted Anton to realize
1379
01:07:24,666 --> 01:07:26,877
he would fall on his face without me
1380
01:07:26,918 --> 01:07:29,038
So why didn't you
let them fall on their face?
1381
01:07:29,713 --> 01:07:30,713
Love.
1382
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:33,120
You don't want the band to fail.
1383
01:07:34,926 --> 01:07:37,929
- Got another reason why.
- What's the other reason?
1384
01:07:37,971 --> 01:07:40,223
I'm gonna sue the fucking shit out of him.
1385
01:07:40,265 --> 01:07:42,309
- Really?
- Just dust him
1386
01:07:42,392 --> 01:07:44,561
I always hated the idea of doing that.
1387
01:07:44,603 --> 01:07:47,564
- And they don't?
- Yeah, 'cause he's not cool.
1388
01:07:48,273 --> 01:07:52,694
Open the tray door four
, Okay It's open Now.
1389
01:07:53,987 --> 01:07:56,281
Now close the door Okay
1390
01:07:56,364 --> 01:07:58,492
I think I'm making the
wrong decision actually, but.
1391
01:07:58,575 --> 01:08:02,287
- To rent the van?
- Yeah, the wrong thing to do.
1392
01:08:03,789 --> 01:08:05,624
You think they're
gonna come back with it?
1393
01:08:05,707 --> 01:08:08,043
- It's about 50/50
- Excuse me.
1394
01:08:08,126 --> 01:08:09,211
Oh, I gotta pay.
1395
01:08:10,170 --> 01:08:12,631
Thank you for reminding me, Miss.
1396
01:08:12,714 --> 01:08:15,050
After I spent six hours watching the van,
1397
01:08:15,133 --> 01:08:16,676
I spent two hours, like
1398
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,805
no, about an hour making
a flyer and some stickers
1399
01:08:19,888 --> 01:08:22,891
and, uh, we're just leeches, you know.
1400
01:08:24,810 --> 01:08:26,520
Here's a copy of the agreement
I wanna do.
1401
01:08:26,603 --> 01:08:29,648
It says, "I, David Deresinski
will rent my van"
1402
01:08:29,731 --> 01:08:32,275
to Matt Hollywood and Anton Newcombe
1403
01:08:32,317 --> 01:08:37,531
on, nine 6/9/97 until 6/18 " -Yeah."
1404
01:08:37,614 --> 01:08:40,492
So for $300, only because I love them.
1405
01:08:40,534 --> 01:08:42,887
The Brian Jonestown
left New York the next morning
1406
01:08:42,911 --> 01:08:44,830
to play a round of shows in the South,
1407
01:08:44,913 --> 01:08:48,834
but only got as far as Homer, Georgia.
1408
01:08:50,961 --> 01:08:52,170
How you doing?
1409
01:08:52,212 --> 01:08:54,089
Good I need to see your
license and insurance.
1410
01:08:54,172 --> 01:08:56,007
Okay It's hers - Oh, okay.
1411
01:08:56,049 --> 01:08:57,843
Well need to see, your license anyway.
1412
01:08:57,926 --> 01:08:59,511
It got stolen - Huh?
1413
01:08:59,553 --> 01:09:01,513
It got stolen in California I'm on tour.
1414
01:09:01,596 --> 01:09:03,796
We're just gonna pick up a
van -I have my license, sir.
1415
01:09:03,849 --> 01:09:05,576
She has all of her stuff
She was just interviewing me.
1416
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,353
- We're making a documentary.
- Oh, okay.
1417
01:09:08,436 --> 01:09:10,689
- What's your full name, sir?
- My name's Anton.
1418
01:09:10,730 --> 01:09:12,750
Alright Pull over over there
and let me run your license.
1419
01:09:12,774 --> 01:09:15,360
- Sure Whereabouts?
- Just right over there.
1420
01:09:15,443 --> 01:09:16,570
By this gentleman?
1421
01:09:17,445 --> 01:09:20,532
? How you doing today.
1422
01:09:26,037 --> 01:09:28,623
Y'all have anything illegal?
Any guns or drugs around?
1423
01:09:28,707 --> 01:09:30,917
No You're welcome to...
You can search the car.
1424
01:09:31,001 --> 01:09:33,086
Okay You don't have
any problem with a search?
1425
01:09:33,128 --> 01:09:35,422
No In fact, I'll waive that right right now.
1426
01:09:35,505 --> 01:09:37,191
Alright If y'all would just
step out of the vehicle.
1427
01:09:37,215 --> 01:09:38,550
Okay
1428
01:09:38,633 --> 01:09:41,052
I went all the way through Ok...
you know, from California,
1429
01:09:41,136 --> 01:09:45,307
like Oklahoma, Minnesota, all that This is
1430
01:09:45,390 --> 01:09:46,450
Georgia is the most beautiful state,
1431
01:09:46,474 --> 01:09:47,726
I would say - Really?
1432
01:09:50,937 --> 01:09:53,023
Georgia.
1433
01:09:53,064 --> 01:09:54,733
We're in Georgia - Yeah, Banks.
1434
01:09:54,774 --> 01:09:56,651
- We're in Banks County?
- Yeah.
1435
01:09:56,735 --> 01:09:58,069
And when's the gig tonight?
1436
01:09:59,154 --> 01:10:02,324
- Uh, when's the gig tonight?
- I don't know.
1437
01:10:02,908 --> 01:10:04,135
I'm starting to think maybe I shouldn't
1438
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:05,952
have come along for this ride.
1439
01:10:06,494 --> 01:10:08,330
The cops found a single joint
1440
01:10:08,413 --> 01:10:10,498
and hauled Anton and Ondi off to jail
1441
01:10:10,582 --> 01:10:12,101
I'm gonna advise you each of your rights.
1442
01:10:12,125 --> 01:10:13,877
It's my own fault,
whatever happens to me.
1443
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,629
But I consented to have a car search
1444
01:10:22,010 --> 01:10:24,095
How's it feel, you say?
1445
01:10:24,137 --> 01:10:25,764
Like a rolling stone.
1446
01:10:25,805 --> 01:10:27,891
By the time he was bailed out,
1447
01:10:27,974 --> 01:10:29,935
it was too late to play the gig
1448
01:10:29,976 --> 01:10:33,563
Anton I'll be your man
Glad you made it brother,
1449
01:10:33,647 --> 01:10:35,190
I hope your ass is still the same.
1450
01:10:35,273 --> 01:10:37,400
We were gonna play,
we were gonna play without you.
1451
01:10:37,484 --> 01:10:39,861
- You should have.
- Well, they wouldn't let us.
1452
01:10:39,945 --> 01:10:42,322
We didn't play
so we didn't get paid,
1453
01:10:42,364 --> 01:10:43,782
and we were flat broke
1454
01:10:43,823 --> 01:10:45,867
so we didn't know
where we'd sleep that night.
1455
01:10:45,951 --> 01:10:47,327
I just want you to know that
1456
01:10:47,410 --> 01:10:48,763
I'm here for you, brother I won't leave.
1457
01:10:48,787 --> 01:10:50,580
Thank you - Won't leave you in the cold.
1458
01:10:50,664 --> 01:10:52,874
- Thank you.
- Because I've been there myself
1459
01:10:52,958 --> 01:10:54,960
I've got a nice comfy bed for you here.
1460
01:10:55,001 --> 01:10:58,672
Hey, wow It's a prince
fucking foldout bed.
1461
01:10:58,755 --> 01:11:01,174
- There you go.
- What're you doing, Brad?
1462
01:11:01,216 --> 01:11:03,718
I'm getting a little rest Little shut-eye.
1463
01:11:03,802 --> 01:11:07,389
Anton was too upset
to appreciate our shenanigans.
1464
01:11:07,472 --> 01:11:10,225
Fucking crap - That ain't your shit, man.
1465
01:11:10,350 --> 01:11:12,185
You don't do that to people's property.
1466
01:11:12,227 --> 01:11:14,479
Fuck He's laying in the
fucking parking lot all night
1467
01:11:14,521 --> 01:11:16,356
I'm just sick of this fucking crap.
1468
01:11:17,107 --> 01:11:19,317
Like you could have fucking
done this ten hours ago
1469
01:11:19,359 --> 01:11:21,653
- I don't care I don't care.
- All you guys together.
1470
01:11:21,695 --> 01:11:24,781
Obviously you don't care - I don't care.
1471
01:11:24,864 --> 01:11:26,366
We all gotta fucking pull together
1472
01:11:26,408 --> 01:11:29,244
'cause I think people are starting to get,
1473
01:11:29,327 --> 01:11:31,955
you know like a weird
vibe, from just everything.
1474
01:11:32,038 --> 01:11:34,457
And like they want to, you
know everybody wants to know,
1475
01:11:34,541 --> 01:11:36,042
that you're into all of them also,
1476
01:11:36,126 --> 01:11:37,669
and that we're into it all together
1477
01:11:37,711 --> 01:11:40,505
because we're all down here
regardless of whatever,
1478
01:11:40,547 --> 01:11:42,841
we're all fucking out here
and we gotta pull together
1479
01:11:42,882 --> 01:11:44,092
and get this shit working.
1480
01:11:44,175 --> 01:11:45,885
Matt was trying to make peace.
1481
01:11:45,927 --> 01:11:47,387
Lots of luck there.
1482
01:11:47,429 --> 01:11:50,348
It was 270 miles to the next gig
1483
01:11:50,390 --> 01:11:52,058
with no gas money.
1484
01:11:52,142 --> 01:11:54,644
But we managed to swing
one motel room
1485
01:11:54,728 --> 01:11:56,354
for all eight of us,
1486
01:11:56,396 --> 01:11:58,106
filmmakers included.
1487
01:12:02,777 --> 01:12:04,362
You didn't fucking put shit, dude.
1488
01:12:04,404 --> 01:12:07,073
You got six months' fucking rent
1489
01:12:07,157 --> 01:12:10,618
$300 a month, or $200 or $100 a month.
1490
01:12:10,702 --> 01:12:12,954
That's 600 bucks right there
1491
01:12:13,038 --> 01:12:15,457
$50 a month That's $300 in a month.
1492
01:12:15,540 --> 01:12:18,418
And three times more
than fucking what you're saying.
1493
01:12:18,460 --> 01:12:19,627
Plus whatever you got.
1494
01:12:21,087 --> 01:12:22,565
Okay, well, start asking somebody else
1495
01:12:22,589 --> 01:12:23,757
for money from here on.
1496
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:26,051
Alright That's totally cool.
1497
01:12:26,092 --> 01:12:27,427
That's totally fucking cool.
1498
01:12:27,469 --> 01:12:29,971
# All the leaves are brown #
1499
01:12:30,055 --> 01:12:31,264
That's totally fucking cool.
1500
01:12:31,348 --> 01:12:33,433
As if the night
couldn't get any worse,
1501
01:12:33,516 --> 01:12:36,394
when Anton went for Brad,
I threw myself in between them.
1502
01:12:36,436 --> 01:12:40,023
You're gonna leave him alone
You are gonna leave him alone
1503
01:12:40,106 --> 01:12:41,900
I got a life, man,
and I earned some bread
1504
01:12:41,941 --> 01:12:43,377
I'm making this room
and I'm gonna sleep in it.
1505
01:12:43,401 --> 01:12:44,235
That's what this brother's doing.
1506
01:12:44,277 --> 01:12:45,695
You didn't fucking earn the bread
1507
01:12:45,779 --> 01:12:48,031
I fucking threw my whole
goddamn life away for you.
1508
01:12:48,114 --> 01:12:50,617
- No, you didn't You didn't.
- I'm gonna go to fucking bed
1509
01:12:50,700 --> 01:12:52,369
so I can deal with my life.
1510
01:12:52,452 --> 01:12:53,912
You do your thing I'll do mine.
1511
01:12:53,953 --> 01:12:55,181
That's the way this life works, baby.
1512
01:12:55,205 --> 01:12:58,375
Why does this fucking crybaby
ninny fucking get the bed?
1513
01:12:58,458 --> 01:13:00,460
- I don't really care.
- There's a bed over there.
1514
01:13:00,543 --> 01:13:03,004
Well, fuck that shit - You want this bed?
1515
01:13:03,088 --> 01:13:05,107
No I want you to get your
fuckin'g drums and bring 'em in
1516
01:13:05,131 --> 01:13:07,491
or else I'm gonna fucking put
'em out because I'm splitting.
1517
01:13:08,259 --> 01:13:09,803
I really don't dig this shit
1518
01:13:10,553 --> 01:13:12,305
I've fucking had it like
1519
01:13:12,389 --> 01:13:14,641
way over my head
with people not doing shit
1520
01:13:14,724 --> 01:13:17,644
and then me catching
all the grief for it Literally.
1521
01:13:18,812 --> 01:13:21,815
I hate Anton I hate you, Anton
1522
01:13:29,572 --> 01:13:33,118
- And head west?
- Yep
1523
01:13:33,159 --> 01:13:34,577
That's what we're trying to do
1524
01:13:35,578 --> 01:13:36,806
Do either of you have
a credit card or?
1525
01:13:36,830 --> 01:13:37,831
Well, Dean does,
1526
01:13:37,872 --> 01:13:41,126
but it's down to like
$70 left or something.
1527
01:13:41,167 --> 01:13:42,669
Hmm.
1528
01:13:42,710 --> 01:13:44,754
I'm in the I'm in the shower.
1529
01:13:44,838 --> 01:13:46,339
Alright, they want us out.
1530
01:13:47,882 --> 01:13:48,882
Uh.
1531
01:13:50,635 --> 01:13:52,835
- Good morning, Anton.
- Good morning, sunshine.
1532
01:13:55,974 --> 01:13:58,059
Probably gonna go to San Diego
for a minute or two.
1533
01:13:58,726 --> 01:14:00,311
Right on, brother - Alright.
1534
01:14:01,354 --> 01:14:03,690
Friends forever, man Don't worry about it
1535
01:14:09,904 --> 01:14:11,948
Dean and Brad flew back to LA
1536
01:14:12,031 --> 01:14:14,075
and I almost flew the coop too,
1537
01:14:14,117 --> 01:14:15,493
but they roped me back in
1538
01:14:15,577 --> 01:14:17,078
by telling me I was the only one
1539
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,038
with a valid driver's license.
1540
01:14:19,914 --> 01:14:21,124
Right then.
1541
01:14:21,207 --> 01:14:23,501
Get outta here, ya Yankees - Good luck.
1542
01:14:23,585 --> 01:14:27,130
The Happy Times Van
imploded within 20 minutes,
1543
01:14:27,213 --> 01:14:29,841
and soon enough,
so did the rest of the band.
1544
01:14:29,924 --> 01:14:33,428
So Anton played solo
all the way back to California
1545
01:14:33,511 --> 01:14:36,514
# Well, I had my share of fistfights #
1546
01:14:36,598 --> 01:14:38,766
# And good loving too #
1547
01:14:38,850 --> 01:14:40,852
# Although I'm getting older #
1548
01:14:40,935 --> 01:14:44,606
# Oh, I'm sure I'm not through
'cause I'm alive #
1549
01:14:48,026 --> 01:14:49,277
# I'll survive #
1550
01:14:50,195 --> 01:14:51,779
# 'Cause I came for you #
1551
01:14:52,614 --> 01:14:54,199
# I came for you #
1552
01:14:55,033 --> 01:14:57,285
# I came for you #
1553
01:14:59,746 --> 01:15:01,581
- That's pretty much it.
- That's hot.
1554
01:15:02,415 --> 01:15:03,875
That last line?
1555
01:15:03,958 --> 01:15:06,085
"I had my share of fistfights
and good loving too.
1556
01:15:06,127 --> 01:15:09,214
Although I'm getting older,
I'm sure that I'm not through".
1557
01:15:09,297 --> 01:15:10,298
You know what I mean?
1558
01:15:11,299 --> 01:15:13,801
Meanwhile,
the Dandys were in New York
1559
01:15:13,843 --> 01:15:15,470
for some fancy showcase,
1560
01:15:15,512 --> 01:15:16,679
though the pressure was on
1561
01:15:16,763 --> 01:15:19,182
because Capitol was losing faith.
1562
01:15:19,265 --> 01:15:21,893
It was the EMD Convention,
which is the distributors.
1563
01:15:21,976 --> 01:15:26,606
All the retailers were there
from Europe, Japan, everything.
1564
01:15:26,648 --> 01:15:30,068
We just sucked We just sounded
like shit and I was just like,
1565
01:15:30,151 --> 01:15:32,487
"Look, I'm not going to lie about it,
1566
01:15:32,570 --> 01:15:35,156
pretend we're rocking, man, feeling it".
1567
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:36,908
So I was just like, "This sucks.
1568
01:15:36,991 --> 01:15:38,594
This sounds like fucking shit
up here, you guys.
1569
01:15:38,618 --> 01:15:40,137
Can you just be patient for a minute?"
1570
01:15:40,161 --> 01:15:42,539
Meanwhile, Gersh is in the
back, freaking out.
1571
01:15:42,622 --> 01:15:44,475
"This is the fucking last time
they embarrass me,
1572
01:15:44,499 --> 01:15:45,500
motherfuckers!"
1573
01:15:45,542 --> 01:15:47,544
You know, I'm like, I'm like,
1574
01:15:48,378 --> 01:15:49,462
"How about, fuck you, man?"
1575
01:15:49,504 --> 01:15:50,672
How about you get up on stage
1576
01:15:50,713 --> 01:15:52,507
"and fucking pull
your pants down," you know?
1577
01:15:52,549 --> 01:15:55,051
But who was there?
Was it like a huge fucking.
1578
01:15:55,134 --> 01:15:58,388
Industry, fucking huge industry.
1579
01:15:58,471 --> 01:16:01,307
Everybody that Gersh
and those guys had said,
1580
01:16:01,349 --> 01:16:03,685
"This is the Great White Hope
This is the next huge band.
1581
01:16:03,768 --> 01:16:05,770
"These guys are fucking
amazing," you know?
1582
01:16:07,897 --> 01:16:10,358
So now, Japan's like, "Well, I don't know"
1583
01:16:10,441 --> 01:16:12,694
Japanese guys were like,
"Maybe we'll put it out.
1584
01:16:12,777 --> 01:16:14,654
Maybe we won't " You know?"
1585
01:16:14,696 --> 01:16:17,031
The Dandy Warhols were a very,
a very big popular band
1586
01:16:17,115 --> 01:16:18,366
among A&R people
1587
01:16:18,449 --> 01:16:20,049
I kept pulling up their Sound Scans too.
1588
01:16:20,118 --> 01:16:21,869
And I guess, you know, the A&R people
1589
01:16:21,953 --> 01:16:23,705
were like the only ones
buying the record.
1590
01:16:23,788 --> 01:16:26,332
The record's Sound Scan, first week,
1591
01:16:26,374 --> 01:16:28,835
at, what, below 3,000
1592
01:16:28,876 --> 01:16:31,546
and, uh, has been dropping
for the two weeks since.
1593
01:16:31,629 --> 01:16:33,381
You know, The Dandy Warhols
are the reason
1594
01:16:33,423 --> 01:16:35,675
why people get laid off of record labels
1595
01:16:35,717 --> 01:16:39,679
# In my good, good morning #
1596
01:16:39,721 --> 01:16:45,184
# I'm up before the sun can bring #
1597
01:16:45,226 --> 01:16:47,770
People spend
so much money on these bands
1598
01:16:47,854 --> 01:16:50,064
and they make ridiculous videos.
1599
01:16:50,148 --> 01:16:51,566
And when it doesn't all pan out,
1600
01:16:51,608 --> 01:16:53,026
somebody's gotta pay for it, right?
1601
01:16:53,067 --> 01:16:55,069
When you sign with a major label,
1602
01:16:55,153 --> 01:16:57,322
they always tell you things
like, "You know,
1603
01:16:57,405 --> 01:16:59,282
we're into careers, not hits".
1604
01:17:00,241 --> 01:17:03,036
And you go, "Wow,
that's got a nice ring to it".
1605
01:17:03,077 --> 01:17:04,537
Yet, if you don't produce a hit,
1606
01:17:05,455 --> 01:17:07,832
they don't really give a fuck
about your career, you know?
1607
01:17:07,915 --> 01:17:11,336
Radio promotion costs
are ridiculously out of hand.
1608
01:17:11,419 --> 01:17:14,964
Um, video costs are retarded.
1609
01:17:15,048 --> 01:17:17,675
Executive salaries, expense accounts.
1610
01:17:17,759 --> 01:17:19,570
The music industry is just
supposed to be this middleman
1611
01:17:19,594 --> 01:17:21,054
between the artist and the consumer
1612
01:17:21,095 --> 01:17:23,264
so that people can buy
the records that they like.
1613
01:17:23,306 --> 01:17:26,976
But somehow, the music industry
turned itself into this, like,
1614
01:17:27,060 --> 01:17:29,020
evil beast that tries to screw the artist
1615
01:17:29,103 --> 01:17:30,813
and tries to screw the fans.
1616
01:17:30,897 --> 01:17:33,983
And, um, and it's really obvious
1617
01:17:34,067 --> 01:17:37,278
I have no respect for anyone
working for any major label
1618
01:17:37,362 --> 01:17:40,990
in any capacity whatsoever
in the executive.
1619
01:17:41,032 --> 01:17:45,662
They're all liars, they're all
mediocre people with no talent.
1620
01:17:45,745 --> 01:17:46,871
They don't know talent.
1621
01:17:46,954 --> 01:17:48,665
They don't understand or like music
1622
01:17:48,748 --> 01:17:50,833
in any way whatsoever
1623
01:17:50,875 --> 01:17:53,836
I dread to think what they're
like in bed trying to have sex
1624
01:17:53,878 --> 01:17:58,132
because, you know, their
mind and body are not connected.
1625
01:17:58,216 --> 01:18:02,011
It's a fool's game to spend your
life blaming the record company.
1626
01:18:02,053 --> 01:18:04,389
Every label can break bands,
every label can't.
1627
01:18:04,472 --> 01:18:05,616
Ultimately, it's in the band's hands.
1628
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:06,742
So anybody who thinks, like,
1629
01:18:06,766 --> 01:18:07,951
"Oh, now we've got a major deal."
1630
01:18:07,975 --> 01:18:09,852
We're home, we're safe,
1631
01:18:09,936 --> 01:18:12,021
"we're gonna succeed," it's just bullshit.
1632
01:18:12,105 --> 01:18:14,065
Record companies screw up
virtually everything
1633
01:18:14,148 --> 01:18:15,233
they possibly can screw up,
1634
01:18:15,316 --> 01:18:17,116
not because they intend to,
but that's just...
1635
01:18:17,193 --> 01:18:20,154
It's probably the nature
of all corporate organizations.
1636
01:18:20,196 --> 01:18:23,616
Major labels lose money
on nine out of ten records,
1637
01:18:23,658 --> 01:18:25,535
and they have one record out of ten
1638
01:18:25,618 --> 01:18:27,495
that makes enough money
to cover everything.
1639
01:18:27,537 --> 01:18:30,915
And I don't think there's
another business in the world
1640
01:18:30,998 --> 01:18:33,376
where you can have a 90% failure rate
1641
01:18:33,418 --> 01:18:35,378
and still say you're successful.
1642
01:18:35,461 --> 01:18:38,214
It's crazy You should be able
to make money off every record.
1643
01:18:38,297 --> 01:18:39,697
You just have to spend accordingly.
1644
01:18:39,757 --> 01:18:42,885
Indie rock happened
because of this, you know,
1645
01:18:42,927 --> 01:18:44,929
because of what we have experienced
1646
01:18:45,012 --> 01:18:46,639
being on a major label,
1647
01:18:46,681 --> 01:18:49,559
what every major label says
won't happen to you.
1648
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,811
They won't tell you what single to put out.
1649
01:18:51,894 --> 01:18:54,772
They won't pick your, like, pop song
1650
01:18:54,856 --> 01:18:56,482
I mean, that's just bad advertising
1651
01:18:56,566 --> 01:18:58,401
for the band, you know?
1652
01:18:58,443 --> 01:18:59,485
Fucking clowns.
1653
01:18:59,569 --> 01:19:02,321
If I had only been just a little bit smarter.
1654
01:19:02,405 --> 01:19:07,910
# In my good morning #
1655
01:19:09,454 --> 01:19:10,931
I mean, we're at a level
where people
1656
01:19:10,955 --> 01:19:12,391
are getting to know
it and acquire the music.
1657
01:19:12,415 --> 01:19:13,976
That hasn't been done
through being signed.
1658
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,295
That hasn't been done through
your Buzz Bin video or anything.
1659
01:19:17,378 --> 01:19:18,755
That's been done all on our own.
1660
01:19:18,838 --> 01:19:19,940
We're on the cover of magazines,
1661
01:19:19,964 --> 01:19:21,424
not because some suit is backing it
1662
01:19:21,507 --> 01:19:23,468
with his bread
like everybody else, you know.
1663
01:19:23,551 --> 01:19:25,636
We're there because
we-we get there on our own
1664
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,306
and that is the vibe we exist on
1665
01:19:28,389 --> 01:19:29,408
I've been trying to talk Perry
1666
01:19:29,432 --> 01:19:31,184
into signing them for a long time.
1667
01:19:31,267 --> 01:19:33,936
Like, look, this is the last
real rock and roll band.
1668
01:19:34,020 --> 01:19:35,021
They're fucking awesome.
1669
01:19:35,104 --> 01:19:36,606
They make great records, you know.
1670
01:19:36,689 --> 01:19:39,400
You, you couldn't do anything, you know,
1671
01:19:39,442 --> 01:19:42,904
like trying to control what
happens or anything like that.
1672
01:19:42,945 --> 01:19:45,406
But just give them money
They'll make great records,
1673
01:19:45,448 --> 01:19:46,925
put 'em out on the road
and they'll do great.
1674
01:19:46,949 --> 01:19:48,618
Before their first American tour
1675
01:19:48,659 --> 01:19:49,952
went south, literally,
1676
01:19:49,994 --> 01:19:52,246
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
had managed to attract
1677
01:19:52,288 --> 01:19:54,707
quite a bit of industry
attention on the road.
1678
01:19:54,749 --> 01:19:56,375
Capitol may have finally listened to me
1679
01:19:56,459 --> 01:19:58,586
as they offered Anton
a modest record deal.
1680
01:19:59,295 --> 01:20:00,129
He asked Michael Dutcher
1681
01:20:00,213 --> 01:20:01,589
to represent him at the meeting,
1682
01:20:01,631 --> 01:20:03,925
but Anton blew the deal within an hour.
1683
01:20:03,966 --> 01:20:05,760
Ah!
1684
01:20:05,802 --> 01:20:08,846
Still, it wasn't enough
to scare off our new manager.
1685
01:20:08,930 --> 01:20:12,225
I thought he was more together
when I first met him.
1686
01:20:12,308 --> 01:20:13,976
He gave that illusion for a period
1687
01:20:14,060 --> 01:20:15,186
like a period of a week,
1688
01:20:15,269 --> 01:20:17,313
I think Anton, if he could really focus,
1689
01:20:17,396 --> 01:20:20,149
could be in that elite group
of people with, you know,
1690
01:20:20,191 --> 01:20:22,777
Lennon-McCartney,
you know, Bob Dylan.
1691
01:20:22,819 --> 01:20:26,614
Not everyone was on
board with our new fat-cat rep.
1692
01:20:26,656 --> 01:20:28,115
Meet our new manager.
1693
01:20:28,157 --> 01:20:31,077
Hey, get that camera outta my face!
1694
01:20:32,036 --> 01:20:34,038
Better get a wide-angle lens out
1695
01:20:34,121 --> 01:20:35,206
on that one, baby
1696
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:40,503
I think that's gonna work - Cool.
1697
01:20:40,586 --> 01:20:41,939
Now if we can get you on an airplane
1698
01:20:41,963 --> 01:20:43,297
and get you to New York,
1699
01:20:43,339 --> 01:20:45,675
we've got a deal - Right on.
1700
01:20:45,716 --> 01:20:48,344
There was one last deal on the table
1701
01:20:48,386 --> 01:20:50,263
from TVT records in New York.
1702
01:20:50,346 --> 01:20:52,056
We don't have a choice, do we?
1703
01:20:52,139 --> 01:20:54,350
But after the
Capitol dinner gone awry,
1704
01:20:54,392 --> 01:20:56,519
Dutcher wasn't gonna
take another chance
1705
01:20:56,602 --> 01:20:58,896
It needed to be
a work ID That's fine.
1706
01:20:58,980 --> 01:21:00,690
Now do me one quick favor - Mm-hmm.
1707
01:21:00,773 --> 01:21:03,693
Don't show this to the FAA
before we get on the plane.
1708
01:21:03,734 --> 01:21:06,320
Desperate times
call for desperate measures,
1709
01:21:06,362 --> 01:21:09,365
and like Frankenstein
rising from the lab table
1710
01:21:09,407 --> 01:21:12,910
comes my new ID, typos and all.
1711
01:21:12,994 --> 01:21:14,579
Okay, Anton.
1712
01:21:14,662 --> 01:21:16,581
Yeah - We gotta go, brother.
1713
01:21:16,664 --> 01:21:17,664
Look.
1714
01:21:18,708 --> 01:21:20,418
Like an official human being here.
1715
01:21:23,421 --> 01:21:24,463
That ain't bad
1716
01:21:24,547 --> 01:21:25,882
I'm a little nervous
1717
01:21:25,965 --> 01:21:28,801
about breaking several federal laws
1718
01:21:28,843 --> 01:21:30,219
because the Polaroid
1719
01:21:30,261 --> 01:21:33,055
is 15 times as thick as the printer paper.
1720
01:21:34,765 --> 01:21:35,765
Not a thing.
1721
01:21:36,601 --> 01:21:38,603
Where are you going,
Mr Newcombe?
1722
01:21:38,686 --> 01:21:39,729
New York City.
1723
01:21:41,147 --> 01:21:42,148
What for?
1724
01:21:43,816 --> 01:21:44,816
Business.
1725
01:21:46,569 --> 01:21:48,696
We get in his car and drive to the airport
1726
01:21:48,738 --> 01:21:50,573
I'm half-expecting to get busted,
1727
01:21:50,615 --> 01:21:52,700
but we go to the ticket counter at LAX
1728
01:21:52,742 --> 01:21:54,243
and they don't even bat an eye.
1729
01:21:55,036 --> 01:21:56,436
We board the plane and just as soon
1730
01:21:56,495 --> 01:21:58,831
as we reach the legal drinking altitude,
1731
01:21:58,873 --> 01:22:00,958
I order a double gin and tonic.
1732
01:22:01,876 --> 01:22:03,461
And a beer.
1733
01:22:06,756 --> 01:22:09,884
I put a boss a nova CD in my Discman.
1734
01:22:09,967 --> 01:22:11,886
It's my first time ever flying
1735
01:22:11,969 --> 01:22:15,014
and as we pass up through
the tops of puffy white clouds,
1736
01:22:15,097 --> 01:22:19,393
I fall in love with it all right here and now
1737
01:22:34,533 --> 01:22:35,910
I've arrived in New York City.
1738
01:22:38,537 --> 01:22:40,039
We're going to Swanksville here.
1739
01:22:41,624 --> 01:22:42,750
The gutter boy
1740
01:22:45,294 --> 01:22:48,005
You-you meet Joel? Joel - Yeah Yeah
1741
01:22:48,047 --> 01:22:49,632
Anton got an ear infection
1742
01:22:49,674 --> 01:22:51,467
and this morning
we had to switch him up.
1743
01:22:51,509 --> 01:22:53,177
He just wasn't... He was not - Yeah
1744
01:22:53,219 --> 01:22:54,428
feeling like himself
1745
01:22:54,512 --> 01:22:56,222
and the doctor was a little worried
1746
01:22:56,305 --> 01:22:58,474
I don't know
He said at one point or another,
1747
01:22:58,516 --> 01:23:00,643
he got some kind of accident
with his ears.
1748
01:23:00,685 --> 01:23:02,937
The TVT execs seemed
to buy Dutcher's story
1749
01:23:03,020 --> 01:23:07,024
about Anton's earache
and I charmed them over dinner.
1750
01:23:07,066 --> 01:23:10,861
Come the next morning,
it was time for business.
1751
01:23:10,945 --> 01:23:12,488
I want this deal done today.
1752
01:23:12,530 --> 01:23:14,824
Did you talk to Steve
about executing today
1753
01:23:14,865 --> 01:23:17,260
- and getting the pay today too?
- No, I asked you to do that.
1754
01:23:17,284 --> 01:23:19,203
Remember, when I left? Okay - Okay.
1755
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,038
Let me talk just to, uh,
1756
01:23:21,122 --> 01:23:22,849
- business affairs.
- Yeah Get them outta here.
1757
01:23:22,873 --> 01:23:25,251
You know I don't ask, - I
wanted I want two checks,
1758
01:23:25,334 --> 01:23:27,688
- five and 50, is that right?
- Even if I get the five today.
1759
01:23:27,712 --> 01:23:29,523
The name, they... I just...
All I need is the five
1760
01:23:29,547 --> 01:23:30,923
so I can go cash it at their bank
1761
01:23:30,965 --> 01:23:32,859
so that I can take care of
some stuff for Joel and Anton
1762
01:23:32,883 --> 01:23:34,403
I'll make sure they understand -Beautiful
1763
01:23:34,427 --> 01:23:37,054
Anton never had an opportunity
to have something
1764
01:23:37,138 --> 01:23:39,140
where he could jot down his ideas.
1765
01:23:39,223 --> 01:23:40,826
So one of the things we're
doing with the advance too
1766
01:23:40,850 --> 01:23:42,643
is getting him a little four or eight-track.
1767
01:23:42,727 --> 01:23:44,395
Mmm - some mics, some keyboards,
1768
01:23:44,478 --> 01:23:46,522
some drum machines for his apartment.
1769
01:23:46,564 --> 01:23:48,691
So, so he's gonna...
I mean, he'll give you
1770
01:23:48,733 --> 01:23:50,210
I mean, the next record you'll get, like,
1771
01:23:50,234 --> 01:23:52,337
I-I would pretty much guarantee
that you'll end up with,
1772
01:23:52,361 --> 01:23:53,988
you know, 150 songs.
1773
01:23:54,071 --> 01:23:55,573
What'd you say?
1774
01:23:55,614 --> 01:23:58,075
- We're seconds away from.
- Oh, it's that time?
1775
01:23:58,159 --> 01:24:00,786
Showtime - Oh, okay, good Um.
1776
01:24:00,870 --> 01:24:02,913
Makeup!
1777
01:24:02,955 --> 01:24:04,582
I'm gonna show you four places to sign.
1778
01:24:05,416 --> 01:24:06,584
This is, uh, just like
1779
01:24:06,667 --> 01:24:08,228
the Declaration of? Independence isn't it.
1780
01:24:08,252 --> 01:24:11,422
Exactly - Put your your Joel Gion.
1781
01:24:14,884 --> 01:24:17,511
I have my briefcase It's around here.
1782
01:24:17,595 --> 01:24:20,389
Not bad, not bad
1783
01:24:21,682 --> 01:24:23,559
Oh!
1784
01:24:23,601 --> 01:24:25,561
Two points off
1785
01:24:25,603 --> 01:24:27,146
Is that bad?
1786
01:24:27,229 --> 01:24:30,900
Um, it'll still be enforceable
It's a valid contract
1787
01:24:30,941 --> 01:24:32,627
I wanna say that I'm making
a personal commitment
1788
01:24:32,651 --> 01:24:34,695
not to screw with anybody's head
1789
01:24:34,779 --> 01:24:36,530
like in a bad way,
you know what I mean?
1790
01:24:36,614 --> 01:24:37,948
Only in a good way!
1791
01:24:37,990 --> 01:24:40,034
Push drugs on little kids.
1792
01:24:40,117 --> 01:24:42,745
And I'm not gonna, um, promote fascism
1793
01:24:42,787 --> 01:24:44,330
in any way, um, I'll promote.
1794
01:24:44,413 --> 01:24:46,332
Oh, come on
1795
01:24:46,415 --> 01:24:47,500
I love making music,
1796
01:24:47,583 --> 01:24:49,460
so I don't think
we're gonna have any problems.
1797
01:24:49,502 --> 01:24:50,937
Okay, Anton,
I'm gonna pick up the phone
1798
01:24:50,961 --> 01:24:52,630
and then Steve's leaving and.
1799
01:24:52,671 --> 01:24:53,940
Thank you, Steve, for your time, man
1800
01:24:53,964 --> 01:24:55,317
I'll talk to you as soon as possible.
1801
01:24:55,341 --> 01:24:57,134
Take care, man I'll talk to you later.
1802
01:24:57,218 --> 01:24:59,220
- Yeah, thank you.
- Okay Hit releases.
1803
01:24:59,303 --> 01:25:00,638
That's one thing we're absolutely
1804
01:25:00,679 --> 01:25:01,972
a hundred percent sure of.
1805
01:25:02,056 --> 01:25:04,350
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
can make records.
1806
01:25:04,433 --> 01:25:06,519
They've made five records in two years
1807
01:25:06,602 --> 01:25:08,062
and more and more and more,
1808
01:25:08,145 --> 01:25:10,248
and, like, you almost have to
stop them from making records,
1809
01:25:10,272 --> 01:25:11,291
they're making so many records.
1810
01:25:11,315 --> 01:25:12,584
And, like, we're a record company,
1811
01:25:12,608 --> 01:25:14,044
so all we have to do
is put out their records
1812
01:25:14,068 --> 01:25:16,278
I made four record covers
so far What do you think?
1813
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,572
For four different albums
I'm putting out immediately.
1814
01:25:20,825 --> 01:25:23,035
This one's called Bringing It
All Back Home - Again.
1815
01:25:23,911 --> 01:25:25,162
It's the front and back.
1816
01:25:26,539 --> 01:25:28,916
But did you see
the secret message in his eye?
1817
01:25:31,710 --> 01:25:33,629
"Oh, I'm a genetic clone of Adolf Hitler."
1818
01:25:33,671 --> 01:25:35,965
Oh, wait, you didn't hear that
1819
01:25:36,006 --> 01:25:40,094
Elektra and Sire and Capitol
and all these labels and, like,
1820
01:25:40,177 --> 01:25:41,720
what's their problem? You know?
1821
01:25:41,804 --> 01:25:44,807
It's like, it's like, I-I like this band
1822
01:25:44,849 --> 01:25:47,685
I brought the band
and the CDs to my boss.
1823
01:25:47,726 --> 01:25:48,769
He really liked it,
1824
01:25:48,853 --> 01:25:50,855
and within three weeks
we had a deal, you know.
1825
01:25:50,896 --> 01:25:52,565
It's done It's so easy.
1826
01:25:52,648 --> 01:25:54,859
Why is everybody so scared?
What's the problem?
1827
01:25:54,942 --> 01:25:58,654
All police join this fraternal
organization of police
1828
01:25:58,696 --> 01:26:01,323
I happen to be a member
and here's my number
1829
01:26:01,407 --> 01:26:04,118
00777,
1830
01:26:04,201 --> 01:26:05,703
Jesus Bond from heaven.
1831
01:26:06,537 --> 01:26:09,039
Okay, this is Hebrew again
The language I speak.
1832
01:26:09,081 --> 01:26:13,377
"My love is stronger than your."
1833
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:16,130
Here's the clincher
1834
01:26:17,506 --> 01:26:18,591
"hate"
1835
01:26:18,674 --> 01:26:20,426
That is your first signing?
1836
01:26:20,467 --> 01:26:23,304
Uh, yes, yes.
1837
01:26:23,387 --> 01:26:26,724
A&R, it's very easy Everyone should try it.
1838
01:26:27,808 --> 01:26:31,270
Hi You guys have no idea
who I just became yesterday.
1839
01:26:31,312 --> 01:26:33,439
- Who?
- I'm very big, very big.
1840
01:26:33,522 --> 01:26:34,607
Wow.
1841
01:26:34,690 --> 01:26:36,233
They didn't want just Anton,
1842
01:26:36,275 --> 01:26:39,111
they want Anton
and myself and yourself,
1843
01:26:40,613 --> 01:26:43,115
and that's all right, you know,
that's a whole different gig,
1844
01:26:43,157 --> 01:26:44,491
you know, by contract.
1845
01:26:45,784 --> 01:26:47,119
Adam's really scared about, like,
1846
01:26:47,161 --> 01:26:49,371
what the fuck is this? Between
you guys and the Dandys.
1847
01:26:49,455 --> 01:26:51,141
And like yeah I try, and
explain it to him you know, ,
1848
01:26:51,165 --> 01:26:52,875
like the history and whatnot, you know,
1849
01:26:52,958 --> 01:26:54,769
and he's like, "Well,
I can't believe you're playing"
1850
01:26:54,793 --> 01:26:56,670
this, like, Beatles versus the Stones gig
1851
01:26:56,754 --> 01:26:59,590
when you guys are like
so much better than them
1852
01:26:59,632 --> 01:27:01,300
and you're gonna totally transcend them,
1853
01:27:01,342 --> 01:27:02,301
like, lickety split...
1854
01:27:02,343 --> 01:27:04,678
And I was like, "Well, you
know, yeah, you know",
1855
01:27:04,762 --> 01:27:06,114
they're target number one, you know,
1856
01:27:06,138 --> 01:27:07,282
and then we'll move on, you know?
1857
01:27:07,306 --> 01:27:09,409
Then from there we'll go to
Oasis, you know, whatever.
1858
01:27:09,433 --> 01:27:11,727
You know what I mean?
They're the first in the line.
1859
01:27:11,810 --> 01:27:13,890
"That's kind of the whole gig,
you know what I mean?"
1860
01:27:14,939 --> 01:27:17,274
I keep hearing little things in the press.
1861
01:27:17,316 --> 01:27:19,985
There's just little mentions that,
1862
01:27:20,778 --> 01:27:22,154
you know, they'd be dissing us
1863
01:27:22,196 --> 01:27:24,198
and it was just like, "Why?"
1864
01:27:24,323 --> 01:27:26,617
Just didn't understand
1865
01:27:26,659 --> 01:27:29,870
that supposedly it was a rivalry
1866
01:27:29,954 --> 01:27:32,373
that they were trying
to start up to get press,
1867
01:27:32,456 --> 01:27:34,083
but they didn't tell us that.
1868
01:27:34,166 --> 01:27:35,918
So it was just sort of insulting.
1869
01:27:36,001 --> 01:27:39,296
This is a special little present
from our dear friend Anton.
1870
01:27:39,338 --> 01:27:42,132
We were in San Francisco and, um,
1871
01:27:42,174 --> 01:27:44,093
we were playing a show
at the Purple Onion
1872
01:27:44,176 --> 01:27:47,054
and he just drove by in a truck
1873
01:27:47,137 --> 01:27:48,323
and I just happened to be outside.
1874
01:27:48,347 --> 01:27:50,599
And he said, "Here,
here's a present for you
1875
01:27:50,683 --> 01:27:53,352
I'll see you in a month I'm going to India".
1876
01:27:54,228 --> 01:27:56,063
There's a whole bunch
of fun stuff in here.
1877
01:27:56,146 --> 01:27:59,566
This lovely bar of soap came attached
1878
01:27:59,650 --> 01:28:02,319
to this nice little card
1879
01:28:03,612 --> 01:28:06,365
with a little message "Clean up your act".
1880
01:28:07,866 --> 01:28:09,576
"Courtney Taylor, surrender"
1881
01:28:11,829 --> 01:28:15,708
I was with, um, Eric
and we each had these little.
1882
01:28:15,791 --> 01:28:17,751
We found these little things in here
1883
01:28:17,835 --> 01:28:19,545
with our individual names on 'em.
1884
01:28:19,628 --> 01:28:21,630
Well, they're shotgun shells.
1885
01:28:21,714 --> 01:28:24,925
And Marc Geiger had a restraining order
1886
01:28:25,009 --> 01:28:26,635
taken out against Anton.
1887
01:28:26,719 --> 01:28:28,804
Everybody's thinking Anton's a nut.
1888
01:28:29,722 --> 01:28:33,892
So I gotta go back
and see how nutty Anton is.
1889
01:28:36,061 --> 01:28:38,397
The weird gets turned up to 11.
1890
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:41,442
Anton claims to have made
a record with Charles Manson
1891
01:28:44,778 --> 01:28:49,950
# Here comes a government man
talkin' to my pa #
1892
01:28:50,034 --> 01:28:52,244
# I was a squatter #
1893
01:28:52,286 --> 01:28:56,665
# With a stubborn jaw #
1894
01:28:58,125 --> 01:29:01,086
Right before they went to
jail -Oh my God.
1895
01:29:01,170 --> 01:29:03,047
This is Tex too.
1896
01:29:03,088 --> 01:29:04,840
It's all those guys.
1897
01:29:08,260 --> 01:29:09,386
When you were where?
1898
01:29:14,558 --> 01:29:15,726
With who?
1899
01:29:17,436 --> 01:29:19,146
But he's in prison.
1900
01:29:21,857 --> 01:29:24,068
So how'd you collaborate
on a song with him?
1901
01:29:31,283 --> 01:29:32,283
Ready?
1902
01:29:32,951 --> 01:29:40,951
# You could feed the world
with my garbage dump #
1903
01:29:41,460 --> 01:29:42,460
Hi, Charlie.
1904
01:29:43,420 --> 01:29:46,590
# That sums it up in one big lump #
1905
01:29:46,632 --> 01:29:49,468
Needless to say,
the Dandys were freaked out.
1906
01:29:49,510 --> 01:29:51,345
He's stalking us now.
1907
01:29:51,428 --> 01:29:54,098
He's making phone calls
in Courtney's room.
1908
01:29:54,139 --> 01:29:56,141
Did you hear that Bob - In the morning
1909
01:29:56,183 --> 01:29:59,686
Mike and Heather are trying
to get them off the CMJ show.
1910
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:02,981
Good - Yeah, I-I don't... I
1911
01:30:03,065 --> 01:30:05,150
I feel bad for everybody else in the band,
1912
01:30:05,234 --> 01:30:09,905
but it's like I can't
have Anton, the insane guy
1913
01:30:09,988 --> 01:30:12,950
I will not have him
anywhere near me again,
1914
01:30:12,991 --> 01:30:14,576
as much as I can avoid it
1915
01:30:14,660 --> 01:30:16,054
and I will not share dressing rooms
1916
01:30:16,078 --> 01:30:17,871
with them or backstages.
1917
01:30:17,913 --> 01:30:19,081
Anything I don't
1918
01:30:19,164 --> 01:30:20,999
I'll still buy their albums though.
1919
01:30:21,083 --> 01:30:22,477
Our management
had thrown.
1920
01:30:22,501 --> 01:30:24,878
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
off our bill at CMJ,
1921
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,047
but Anton showed up
on the TVT Records' dime
1922
01:30:27,131 --> 01:30:30,717
to distribute his ode to us anyway
1923
01:30:30,801 --> 01:30:33,011
What exactly
is the adventure tonight, Greg?
1924
01:30:33,053 --> 01:30:34,555
We're going down to this stupid club
1925
01:30:34,638 --> 01:30:37,057
to hang out in front of a place
and annoy people.
1926
01:30:37,099 --> 01:30:39,351
Show them just how lame we think CMJ
1927
01:30:39,393 --> 01:30:41,395
and the entire music industry is
1928
01:30:41,478 --> 01:30:43,123
I mean, of course.
1929
01:30:43,147 --> 01:30:45,315
That couldn't possibly mean anything.
1930
01:30:48,527 --> 01:30:49,903
Woo! Okay.
1931
01:30:51,655 --> 01:30:52,739
Taxi!
1932
01:30:54,408 --> 01:30:57,077
Hey Back seat or trunk, okay?
1933
01:30:58,328 --> 01:30:59,328
Whoa!
1934
01:31:02,332 --> 01:31:03,792
In the trunk, thank you.
1935
01:31:06,587 --> 01:31:09,006
- Whoa Whoa, that was dumb.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa
1936
01:31:11,508 --> 01:31:13,427
If you have a stamp, you can get in.
1937
01:31:14,928 --> 01:31:16,168
I want him out of the building.
1938
01:31:17,097 --> 01:31:19,099
The furry hat - With the furry hat?
1939
01:31:19,183 --> 01:31:20,767
Yeah, he's not getting in - Alright
1940
01:31:29,776 --> 01:31:32,613
# Yeah, in a slumber #
1941
01:31:32,696 --> 01:31:35,032
# I'm sawing lumber #
1942
01:31:35,115 --> 01:31:39,369
# I saw my baby dance a Latin number #
1943
01:31:39,453 --> 01:31:41,288
- Ready?
- I'm ready.
1944
01:31:41,371 --> 01:31:42,515
Someone I talked
to on the phone.
1945
01:31:42,539 --> 01:31:43,582
Excuse me.
1946
01:31:43,624 --> 01:31:47,377
Thank you - Sir Capitol Ready?
1947
01:31:47,461 --> 01:31:49,671
- Are you from Capitol?
- Uh, no.
1948
01:31:49,755 --> 01:31:50,631
Take this anyways.
1949
01:31:50,714 --> 01:31:52,275
"Not If You Were
The Last Dandy On Earth."
1950
01:31:52,299 --> 01:31:54,384
Which you will never be Take it anyways.
1951
01:31:54,468 --> 01:31:56,094
How'd you get Jason Cropper's badge?
1952
01:31:56,136 --> 01:31:57,804
- Because you know what?
- He loves you?
1953
01:31:57,888 --> 01:31:59,223
No, I'm the son of God
1954
01:31:59,306 --> 01:32:01,506
- I take whatever I need.
- That's how you got it there?
1955
01:32:01,850 --> 01:32:02,851
Hey, Jeffy.
1956
01:32:03,936 --> 01:32:05,354
What?
1957
01:32:05,437 --> 01:32:07,814
Keep this - Alright, cool.
1958
01:32:07,856 --> 01:32:10,734
This is, um,
The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
1959
01:32:10,817 --> 01:32:13,320
- Oh, it is?
- This is the hot new single,
1960
01:32:13,362 --> 01:32:15,239
"Not If You Were
The Last Dandy On Earth"
1961
01:32:15,822 --> 01:32:17,091
What do you think of the...
1962
01:32:17,115 --> 01:32:18,909
- About what?
- Of the 12-inch?
1963
01:32:19,868 --> 01:32:20,994
I think it's great.
1964
01:32:25,832 --> 01:32:28,335
I read it wrong I thought
he wanted to kill us all,
1965
01:32:28,377 --> 01:32:30,337
but he's actually someone else.
1966
01:32:30,420 --> 01:32:31,797
Some secret alter ego.
1967
01:32:31,838 --> 01:32:33,048
There he is.
1968
01:32:38,178 --> 01:32:39,555
And I almost had to kick his ass.
1969
01:32:40,889 --> 01:32:42,474
Almost Next time.
1970
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,161
I think it's neat that he's, um, giving us
1971
01:32:45,185 --> 01:32:47,813
all this great, um, publicity
1972
01:32:47,854 --> 01:32:50,857
I don't know what to call it
Not anti-publicity, but, like.
1973
01:32:51,858 --> 01:32:53,569
Oh, yeah, it's the underground.
1974
01:32:55,070 --> 01:32:58,240
We don't know how to promote
ourselves in the underground,
1975
01:32:58,323 --> 01:32:59,950
so Anton's gonna do it for us.
1976
01:33:00,033 --> 01:33:01,994
He's a really great guy
1977
01:33:02,035 --> 01:33:04,037
Courtney, can you sign this for me?
1978
01:33:04,121 --> 01:33:06,432
- I think so What was your name?
- Uh, just sign it, Courtney
1979
01:33:06,456 --> 01:33:08,792
I don't want anything
I'll be able to sell it later
1980
01:33:10,252 --> 01:33:12,921
He was like, "You know,
Anton really means well,
1981
01:33:13,005 --> 01:33:14,881
you know, his heart's
in the right place and".
1982
01:33:16,008 --> 01:33:17,593
You know, and I was like,
1983
01:33:17,676 --> 01:33:21,763
you can't be that fucking
naïve, you know? Like he's.
1984
01:33:21,847 --> 01:33:23,890
Then why is he doing these, like, petty,
1985
01:33:23,974 --> 01:33:26,727
bitter, belligerent little stupid things?
1986
01:33:26,768 --> 01:33:27,769
You know? It's like.
1987
01:33:28,770 --> 01:33:31,106
It's like, "No, I have friends, Michael"
1988
01:33:31,189 --> 01:33:32,608
I know how friends act.
1989
01:33:33,734 --> 01:33:36,403
I know how Anton acts
when he's a friend.
1990
01:33:36,486 --> 01:33:38,071
We used to be really good friends...
1991
01:33:39,489 --> 01:33:41,241
Did you see our signed copies?
1992
01:33:41,283 --> 01:33:43,219
It's his, like, little idea
"We can get this whole, like,
1993
01:33:43,243 --> 01:33:45,871
Blur-Oasis thing going, you know?"
1994
01:33:45,912 --> 01:33:47,956
Like, yeah, maybe if both
our bands were selling,
1995
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:49,708
like, five million records.
1996
01:33:49,791 --> 01:33:52,586
And he's like, "You don't
even understand Zia,
1997
01:33:52,669 --> 01:33:54,897
You don't even realize how much
money I've gotten for us"
1998
01:33:54,921 --> 01:33:55,940
I was like - "Gimme my cut!"
1999
01:33:55,964 --> 01:33:57,591
"I would never wanna hurt you, Zia.
2000
01:33:57,633 --> 01:33:59,873
If I wanted to kill you guys,
I would've already did it".
2001
01:34:00,761 --> 01:34:02,012
Great - Thanks, Anton.
2002
01:34:02,095 --> 01:34:03,639
Alright, man - That's good to know
2003
01:34:04,806 --> 01:34:05,807
Come in.
2004
01:34:06,808 --> 01:34:08,435
- How are ya?
- Good How are you?
2005
01:34:08,518 --> 01:34:09,978
Oh, I'm doing dandy How are you?
2006
01:34:10,062 --> 01:34:11,730
"Dandy"?
2007
01:34:11,813 --> 01:34:13,899
Oh, thank you very much.
2008
01:34:13,982 --> 01:34:15,984
"Not If You Were The Last Dandy
On Earth."
2009
01:34:16,026 --> 01:34:17,277
Outstanding.
2010
01:34:17,319 --> 01:34:18,654
Cheers - Thank you.
2011
01:34:18,737 --> 01:34:19,737
No problem, sir.
2012
01:34:22,115 --> 01:34:24,701
I gave him $300 in tips
2013
01:34:24,785 --> 01:34:28,163
Joel charged $900 without
tipping anybody on drinks.
2014
01:34:28,830 --> 01:34:32,042
If I charged $900 in tips
and then plus my drinks
2015
01:34:33,001 --> 01:34:34,961
what-what do you think
they're gonna say?
2016
01:34:35,003 --> 01:34:37,023
They're gonna say, "You're not
allowed on our label anymore
2017
01:34:37,047 --> 01:34:40,842
because you charge $32,000 in tips".
2018
01:34:40,926 --> 01:34:43,845
- Anton, this is Steve Gottlieb.
- Oh How you doing?
2019
01:34:43,887 --> 01:34:45,013
Anton - Good to meet you
2020
01:34:45,097 --> 01:34:47,349
Anton from
The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
2021
01:34:47,432 --> 01:34:49,434
- Gentlemen, how you doing?
- Hey, guess what?
2022
01:34:50,811 --> 01:34:52,371
Can you put them on hold
for one second?
2023
01:34:54,398 --> 01:34:57,567
I'm gonna make you a shitload
of money You too, Mister.
2024
01:34:57,651 --> 01:34:58,878
Go right ahead - You too Alright?
2025
01:34:58,902 --> 01:34:59,778
Make us all the money you want.
2026
01:34:59,861 --> 01:35:01,238
You're gonna need a backpack
2027
01:35:01,321 --> 01:35:02,781
or a duffel bag to carry this.
2028
01:35:02,864 --> 01:35:04,324
Alright?
2029
01:35:04,366 --> 01:35:05,659
Accounting - Yeah.
2030
01:35:05,742 --> 01:35:07,619
- You guys handle the numbers?
- Brian?
2031
01:35:07,661 --> 01:35:10,205
Guess what? You're gonna have
to be counting a lot more money
2032
01:35:10,288 --> 01:35:13,041
'cause I'm gonna be making you
a shitload of money.
2033
01:35:13,125 --> 01:35:14,626
Alright, are you guys ready?
2034
01:35:14,668 --> 01:35:17,212
I'm not trying to jack you
for everything that I can get.
2035
01:35:17,295 --> 01:35:18,714
It's quite the opposite, you know?
2036
01:35:18,797 --> 01:35:20,841
I-I turned down bigger things to do this
2037
01:35:20,882 --> 01:35:22,509
because I'm hoping that the freedom
2038
01:35:22,551 --> 01:35:24,219
translates into something better
2039
01:35:24,302 --> 01:35:25,470
I can play 80 instruments
2040
01:35:25,554 --> 01:35:27,055
and I produce the records Right?
2041
01:35:27,139 --> 01:35:29,057
- But do you play an accordion?
- Yes, I do.
2042
01:35:29,141 --> 01:35:30,934
- You do?
- A didgeridoo?
2043
01:35:31,017 --> 01:35:31,852
I play all that stuff.
2044
01:35:31,893 --> 01:35:33,437
Weird fucking Chinese shit I play.
2045
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:35,397
This is the record of '98.
2046
01:35:35,480 --> 01:35:36,874
Hey do you want to go out
drinking with me tonight
2047
01:35:36,898 --> 01:35:37,959
for a little while if I pay?
2048
01:35:37,983 --> 01:35:40,026
It's gonna have to be
Bloody Marys.
2049
01:35:40,068 --> 01:35:41,820
Okay I love tomato juice
2050
01:35:41,903 --> 01:35:43,673
- We'll have fun.
- Yeah Are you gonna be around
2051
01:35:43,697 --> 01:35:44,757
- for the weekend too?
- Yes.
2052
01:35:44,781 --> 01:35:46,783
Are you gonna come to Sevendust
tomorrow night?
2053
01:35:46,867 --> 01:35:48,118
- To what?
- Sevendust?
2054
01:35:48,201 --> 01:35:50,454
I'll follow you anywhere - It's good.
2055
01:35:50,537 --> 01:35:52,247
Oh, you're so sweet - Seriously.
2056
01:35:52,330 --> 01:35:53,749
This is not an animal.
2057
01:35:53,832 --> 01:35:56,168
This is a furry halo that you'll
2058
01:35:56,251 --> 01:35:58,336
No, seriously I'll be so nice to you.
2059
01:35:58,420 --> 01:36:00,255
If you're gonna blow me off, call please,
2060
01:36:00,338 --> 01:36:01,423
so my feelings aren't hurt.
2061
01:36:01,506 --> 01:36:03,067
- M-I'm calling you regardless.
- Okay, good.
2062
01:36:03,091 --> 01:36:06,470
If I could make a mold of the artist
2063
01:36:06,553 --> 01:36:08,513
that could make music just for Michelle
2064
01:36:09,181 --> 01:36:10,724
to suit her every mood
2065
01:36:11,975 --> 01:36:15,103
and just get me off overall, it's him.
2066
01:36:15,145 --> 01:36:17,189
- Really?
- He's my rock and roll fantasy.
2067
01:36:17,272 --> 01:36:20,692
There was never another artist
on TVT before or after
2068
01:36:20,734 --> 01:36:23,612
that had more excitement inside the label
2069
01:36:30,118 --> 01:36:31,137
The people who worked there
2070
01:36:31,161 --> 01:36:32,746
were so excited to work the record
2071
01:36:32,829 --> 01:36:35,499
and they convinced
the music industry at large
2072
01:36:35,582 --> 01:36:37,000
that The Brian Jonestown Massacre
2073
01:36:37,083 --> 01:36:38,335
were the next great thing.
2074
01:36:43,757 --> 01:36:47,636
# I walked to New York
and back from LA #
2075
01:36:48,637 --> 01:36:52,766
# I lived on a mountain
and once by the bay #
2076
01:36:52,849 --> 01:36:57,729
# I bought an apartment
and I slept in the hay #
2077
01:36:57,771 --> 01:37:01,066
# But there's no place
that's softer than... #
2078
01:37:02,651 --> 01:37:03,652
Definitely not an act.
2079
01:37:03,693 --> 01:37:05,487
If he wasn't playing music,
2080
01:37:05,570 --> 01:37:08,031
it's not like he would get another job.
2081
01:37:08,114 --> 01:37:10,426
"It's not like he's like," Okay,
music thing isn't working out,
2082
01:37:10,450 --> 01:37:11,928
I'm gonna go, like, work in an office."
2083
01:37:11,952 --> 01:37:14,704
Like, Anton can only do this one thing.
2084
01:37:14,788 --> 01:37:17,624
Like, he is for real
What he's doing is for real
2085
01:37:22,671 --> 01:37:27,050
# I prayed to Buddha, to Allah, and Jim #
2086
01:37:27,801 --> 01:37:32,013
# I turned to Jesus
and stayed there with him #
2087
01:37:32,556 --> 01:37:36,810
# I fell in deep
but I learned how to swim #
2088
01:37:36,893 --> 01:37:42,482
# Now there's nobody
cleaner than me or than him #
2089
01:37:50,031 --> 01:37:51,071
Unlike America,
2090
01:37:51,116 --> 01:37:53,326
European Radio
actually played our record
2091
01:37:53,368 --> 01:37:55,036
and only days after its release,
2092
01:37:55,078 --> 01:37:56,347
the album was topping the charts
2093
01:37:56,371 --> 01:37:58,039
in several countries.
2094
01:37:58,081 --> 01:38:00,208
Eric, our drummer, had quit
the band two weeks before,
2095
01:38:00,250 --> 01:38:02,919
so I brought my cousin Brent
to London instead.
2096
01:38:03,003 --> 01:38:05,046
Eric had wanted more
of my songwriting royalties
2097
01:38:05,130 --> 01:38:06,715
and I had refused
2098
01:38:06,798 --> 01:38:09,259
"I don't think about you, I think about me.
2099
01:38:09,342 --> 01:38:10,342
This is a business".
2100
01:38:11,261 --> 01:38:13,763
Oh, really?
2101
01:38:13,847 --> 01:38:15,640
I write all of the songs.
2102
01:38:16,391 --> 01:38:19,269
All of the songs I produce the records.
2103
01:38:19,352 --> 01:38:21,146
All the records.
2104
01:38:21,229 --> 01:38:23,773
You know? I do everything.
2105
01:38:23,857 --> 01:38:25,191
He said that he does everything,
2106
01:38:25,275 --> 01:38:27,652
all the videos, all the producing.
2107
01:38:27,736 --> 01:38:30,322
Sorry, dude No.
2108
01:38:30,405 --> 01:38:33,533
And yet I'm giving away
half of my songwriting money,
2109
01:38:33,575 --> 01:38:34,575
half of it,
2110
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:37,412
so that the band can pay rent
and have fun
2111
01:38:37,454 --> 01:38:39,748
and enjoy enjoy it, you know?
2112
01:38:39,831 --> 01:38:45,754
At no time ever did he give 50%
of his royalties to the band.
2113
01:38:46,463 --> 01:38:49,716
And that's not enough?
What, are you fucking stupid?
2114
01:38:49,799 --> 01:38:51,968
And so I think, like,
the last meeting I had,
2115
01:38:52,052 --> 01:38:55,722
like last meeting with Courtney,
he just looked at me, he said,
2116
01:38:55,805 --> 01:38:58,183
"You will get nothing
You will get nothing!"
2117
01:39:00,518 --> 01:39:02,103
I was like, "See you, man".
2118
01:39:02,145 --> 01:39:03,146
Zia was so young.
2119
01:39:03,229 --> 01:39:05,273
Here I am turning 30 during that point,
2120
01:39:05,315 --> 01:39:07,484
I'm realizing that,
"Oh, my God, this is my life
2121
01:39:07,525 --> 01:39:11,279
and I have to trust this guy
with my money No way".
2122
01:39:11,321 --> 01:39:13,990
And he says "We're going
, to Europe in two weeks".
2123
01:39:14,074 --> 01:39:16,993
He says, "Think you can learn
all of our songs in two weeks?"
2124
01:39:17,035 --> 01:39:18,888
And I said, "You're gonna
? Make me sing already".
2125
01:39:18,912 --> 01:39:21,665
And he stops He says, "Yeah,
because if you can't sing,
2126
01:39:21,706 --> 01:39:23,750
there's no real reason for you to be here".
2127
01:39:23,833 --> 01:39:26,586
Goes, "We'll go out and get
a drink if you can't sing"
2128
01:39:27,337 --> 01:39:30,340
Stockholm to Madrid
There's gonna be a bus.
2129
01:39:44,896 --> 01:39:46,648
# You were getting older #
2130
01:39:46,690 --> 01:39:49,275
# I was getting wiser now #
2131
01:39:49,359 --> 01:39:51,486
We're not a heavy
airplay band, you know.
2132
01:39:51,528 --> 01:39:54,239
We don't get the kind of
airplay that Green Day got
2133
01:39:54,322 --> 01:39:56,866
or the Spice Girls, or you know.
2134
01:39:56,908 --> 01:39:59,202
But it's mostly in America
because here in Europe,
2135
01:39:59,285 --> 01:40:01,705
you've got a lot of airplay - Do we?
2136
01:40:01,746 --> 01:40:03,873
# Well, you get what you got #
2137
01:40:03,915 --> 01:40:06,418
# And you learn how to like it #
2138
01:40:06,501 --> 01:40:08,128
# Ah #
2139
01:40:08,837 --> 01:40:11,423
Sold something like seven thousand
2140
01:40:11,506 --> 01:40:14,175
eight thousand, ten thousand,
I don't know.
2141
01:40:14,217 --> 01:40:15,385
Bunch of thousands.
2142
01:40:15,427 --> 01:40:16,803
In France
2143
01:40:37,615 --> 01:40:41,786
Brussels! Copenhagen! We love it
2144
01:40:41,870 --> 01:40:45,665
Stockholm, Malmö, Madrid, Barcelona.
2145
01:40:45,749 --> 01:40:47,333
Hello We love it.
2146
01:40:47,417 --> 01:40:49,002
Your boarding passes, sir?
2147
01:40:49,085 --> 01:40:51,254
And we were right behind them.
2148
01:40:51,755 --> 01:40:54,632
Hi, England My name's Joel
I'm from America
2149
01:41:29,292 --> 01:41:31,753
Just recorded your seventh LP.
2150
01:41:31,795 --> 01:41:34,756
What is keeping you buzzing as a band?
2151
01:41:35,465 --> 01:41:37,217
Methamphetamines.
2152
01:41:37,300 --> 01:41:38,468
Amen - Ha-ha Just kidding.
2153
01:41:48,561 --> 01:41:50,772
And then we got invited to Japan.
2154
01:42:00,156 --> 01:42:02,992
There were a bunch of girls
"Brian Jonestown Massacre!"
2155
01:42:03,034 --> 01:42:05,495
And like, and like, they...
And he was talking to them
2156
01:42:05,578 --> 01:42:08,498
and they started to cry
and stuff and then they laughed.
2157
01:42:10,083 --> 01:42:15,964
Guess what? Our show
tomorrow night costs $55,
2158
01:42:16,506 --> 01:42:18,550
5,500 yen.
2159
01:42:22,220 --> 01:42:25,765
# I think I know how it feels #
2160
01:42:30,687 --> 01:42:32,480
# 'Cause I #
2161
01:42:34,399 --> 01:42:37,527
# I only play it for real #
2162
01:42:40,655 --> 01:42:43,658
# You should be picking me up #
2163
01:42:46,744 --> 01:42:49,747
# Instead, you're dragging me down #
2164
01:42:52,834 --> 01:42:57,463
# I could be giving you love, love #
2165
01:42:58,590 --> 01:43:02,218
# But, baby, you're not around #
2166
01:43:14,606 --> 01:43:17,483
# Now that you're not around #
2167
01:43:18,151 --> 01:43:19,903
That was so cool.
2168
01:43:19,944 --> 01:43:22,530
Anton
2169
01:43:25,116 --> 01:43:26,784
Nice to meet you - Anton.
2170
01:43:26,868 --> 01:43:30,121
- They're waiting for you.
- Where are you going now?
2171
01:43:30,163 --> 01:43:32,165
- Where are you going now?
- Yeah
2172
01:43:32,248 --> 01:43:34,459
- I don't know.
- We don't know We don't know
2173
01:43:35,793 --> 01:43:37,253
Kill me - Introduce my friends.
2174
01:43:37,295 --> 01:43:40,840
So, Dean Taylor He is gay and junkie.
2175
01:43:40,924 --> 01:43:43,301
Okay?
2176
01:43:43,384 --> 01:43:46,429
How many people can you
fit into a Tokyo hotel room?
2177
01:43:46,471 --> 01:43:48,306
We're gonna find out.
2178
01:43:48,389 --> 01:43:52,352
Two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
2179
01:43:54,145 --> 01:43:56,439
But soon enough,
we heard from hotel security.
2180
01:43:57,482 --> 01:43:59,442
Okay, let's go over to Billy's -Oh, okay.
2181
01:43:59,484 --> 01:44:02,320
We-we're, we're going to move
to a different room.
2182
01:44:02,403 --> 01:44:03,613
And before long,
2183
01:44:03,655 --> 01:44:05,740
we were headed back to our country
2184
01:44:05,823 --> 01:44:08,117
where the good times
came crashing down
2185
01:44:08,159 --> 01:44:12,372
when we arrived back in LA
to make that record we owed TVT
2186
01:44:12,455 --> 01:44:16,125
and Anton started using pretty heavily.
2187
01:44:16,167 --> 01:44:17,811
Do you think it's gonna be
interesting to see
2188
01:44:17,835 --> 01:44:20,129
how our record comes out versus like,
2189
01:44:20,171 --> 01:44:22,590
like the Dandys' approach to everything?
2190
01:44:22,674 --> 01:44:23,967
Like how they did their shit?
2191
01:44:24,008 --> 01:44:26,153
How do they do their
shit versus how you do yours?
2192
01:44:26,177 --> 01:44:28,846
They had, you know, a producer
and they went to his studio
2193
01:44:28,930 --> 01:44:31,808
and that guy ended up getting
more gear for his studio
2194
01:44:31,849 --> 01:44:33,351
Courtney got whatever, you know,
2195
01:44:34,686 --> 01:44:36,187
tickets to go to Loveline and shit.
2196
01:44:38,523 --> 01:44:39,983
Love advice from the Dandys?
2197
01:44:40,024 --> 01:44:41,693
Our guest will be
The Dandy Warhols
2198
01:44:41,734 --> 01:44:43,611
I don't know Let's go to Europe.
2199
01:44:45,613 --> 01:44:47,240
Where they were hitting it big-time.
2200
01:44:48,324 --> 01:44:49,867
It's gone ballistic.
2201
01:44:49,951 --> 01:44:52,662
Um, I've got some press cuttings
in my bag for you to look at.
2202
01:44:52,704 --> 01:44:54,706
And, uh, it's, it's gone a bit mad.
2203
01:44:54,747 --> 01:44:57,292
Everybody suddenly knows
who The Dandy Warhols are.
2204
01:44:57,375 --> 01:45:00,712
Tickets for tonight,
buy or sell tickets.
2205
01:45:00,753 --> 01:45:03,548
Tickets Dandy Warhols.
2206
01:45:07,969 --> 01:45:10,179
# Darling #
2207
01:45:10,221 --> 01:45:15,435
# You give me a rope, I'll hang myself #
2208
01:45:15,518 --> 01:45:20,398
# It doesn't take a genius to figure it out #
2209
01:45:27,322 --> 01:45:28,799
Sitting in the tour bus
of the Dandy Warhols
2210
01:45:28,823 --> 01:45:30,616
and we're riding
over the big bump Hi, guys.
2211
01:45:30,700 --> 01:45:33,411
- How did it go?
- Great We're fine Yeah.
2212
01:45:33,453 --> 01:45:35,413
It was rock - You did rock?
2213
01:45:35,455 --> 01:45:36,331
Oh, absolutely.
2214
01:45:36,414 --> 01:45:37,915
There's a lady here with a camera
2215
01:45:37,957 --> 01:45:39,167
also in the tour bus.
2216
01:45:39,250 --> 01:45:41,586
What is it that you are doing? And why.
2217
01:45:41,669 --> 01:45:43,314
I'm making
a documentary on the band
2218
01:45:43,338 --> 01:45:44,756
for two years now.
2219
01:45:44,797 --> 01:45:45,899
You've been following them
with this camera
2220
01:45:45,923 --> 01:45:46,841
for two years now?
2221
01:45:46,924 --> 01:45:47,759
Yes.
2222
01:45:47,842 --> 01:45:49,111
Where are you going to be tomorrow?
2223
01:45:49,135 --> 01:45:49,969
London
2224
01:45:52,930 --> 01:45:54,265
Including our parents?
2225
01:45:56,392 --> 01:45:57,392
Yeah.
2226
01:45:58,644 --> 01:46:00,021
Exactly - And in England?
2227
01:46:00,104 --> 01:46:01,606
Like the same number,
2228
01:46:02,899 --> 01:46:04,275
40,000 or something.
2229
01:46:05,777 --> 01:46:08,237
That's over a year in America.
2230
01:46:08,279 --> 01:46:12,033
And that took a little under
two weeks in England.
2231
01:46:13,451 --> 01:46:15,453
He's went around the entire lake
2232
01:46:15,495 --> 01:46:16,537
on a unicycle.
2233
01:46:17,497 --> 01:46:20,750
You know that our record
is number 16 in the UK?
2234
01:46:20,833 --> 01:46:22,126
That's pretty incredible, huh?
2235
01:46:22,210 --> 01:46:23,461
- The record is?
- Yeah.
2236
01:46:23,544 --> 01:46:25,213
It just came out - Yeah.
2237
01:46:25,296 --> 01:46:27,423
Our tour was sold out
2238
01:46:27,507 --> 01:46:29,667
I don't care where we're big,
I just wanna buy a house.
2239
01:46:30,635 --> 01:46:32,678
You're the ultimate sexy band
That's what you are.
2240
01:46:32,762 --> 01:46:34,305
Yeah, I know.
2241
01:46:34,389 --> 01:46:35,491
The Dandy Warhols
have turned in
2242
01:46:35,515 --> 01:46:37,141
two blinding albums in the States
2243
01:46:37,183 --> 01:46:38,535
while the release of the sublime second
2244
01:46:38,559 --> 01:46:40,061
is due any day now over here.
2245
01:46:40,144 --> 01:46:42,021
- Wait for it! Oh!
- Oh!
2246
01:46:42,105 --> 01:46:44,148
With a list of influences
as large as their appetite
2247
01:46:44,190 --> 01:46:45,626
for the traditional recreational joys
2248
01:46:45,650 --> 01:46:47,193
of rock and roll, sex, drugs
2249
01:46:47,235 --> 01:46:48,796
and, well, rock and roll, and more drugs.
2250
01:46:48,820 --> 01:46:51,155
We talk about drugs
and then we talk about music
2251
01:46:51,197 --> 01:46:52,782
and then we talk about sex.
2252
01:46:52,865 --> 01:46:55,701
What do they put in the
article? They put drugs in.
2253
01:46:55,785 --> 01:46:57,245
It's a road test - Right.
2254
01:46:57,328 --> 01:46:58,663
Which magazine kind of thing.
2255
01:46:58,704 --> 01:47:00,581
You're not testing it
on any other bands, or?
2256
01:47:00,665 --> 01:47:02,208
Just The Dandy Warhols.
2257
01:47:02,250 --> 01:47:04,502
We are road-testing legal highs.
2258
01:47:04,544 --> 01:47:07,588
This will be the,
"We are so fucking bored
2259
01:47:07,672 --> 01:47:11,801
"with drugs and sex interviews" interview.
2260
01:47:11,884 --> 01:47:13,886
Love Dove - And this?
2261
01:47:13,970 --> 01:47:17,306
I'll take all of this stuff,
but not before we play.
2262
01:47:17,390 --> 01:47:19,767
Our tour was running very smoothly
2263
01:47:19,851 --> 01:47:22,895
until a surprise visit by the French police.
2264
01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:35,240
Yeah.
2265
01:47:35,741 --> 01:47:38,744
"Courtney, your special
box"
2266
01:47:38,828 --> 01:47:40,705
"For where you smoke cocaine.
2267
01:47:40,746 --> 01:47:42,123
Your special box".
2268
01:47:42,206 --> 01:47:43,416
Cannabis Grass.
2269
01:47:44,584 --> 01:47:46,836
Thought
he was being real tricky.
2270
01:47:46,919 --> 01:47:49,755
Like I was gonna just fess up, you know.
2271
01:47:49,797 --> 01:47:51,966
My band got away
with paying a fine
2272
01:47:52,049 --> 01:47:56,637
equivalent to four
Dandy Warhols T-shirts,
2273
01:47:56,721 --> 01:47:58,598
and we kept the grass.
2274
01:48:00,558 --> 01:48:02,018
We are a lucky band
2275
01:48:02,894 --> 01:48:05,104
and they are a not-lucky band.
2276
01:48:05,813 --> 01:48:08,900
Look what happens when they
get pulled over by the police
2277
01:48:08,941 --> 01:48:11,903
in Georgia or wherever it was.
2278
01:48:11,944 --> 01:48:13,213
And look what happened
when we got pulled over
2279
01:48:13,237 --> 01:48:14,822
by the police in France.
2280
01:48:14,906 --> 01:48:16,949
That's lucky, 'cause we could've had.
2281
01:48:17,033 --> 01:48:18,618
It could've all ended right there.
2282
01:48:18,701 --> 01:48:21,871
Not the band's career, but that tour.
2283
01:48:22,997 --> 01:48:24,057
You have Courtney's telephone number.
2284
01:48:24,081 --> 01:48:25,124
Tell Courtney to call me.
2285
01:48:25,208 --> 01:48:26,435
I think Courtney's in Europe.
2286
01:48:26,459 --> 01:48:28,377
Oh, really? Oh, yeah Playing, huh?
2287
01:48:30,296 --> 01:48:32,316
Fuck I wonder when I'm gonna
hang out with that guy.
2288
01:48:32,340 --> 01:48:33,340
Probably never, huh?
2289
01:48:34,133 --> 01:48:38,513
He's... he hates us, anyways
You know? I'm sure of it now.
2290
01:48:38,596 --> 01:48:41,474
Like, we'll never, ever play
with those guys again, I bet.
2291
01:48:41,557 --> 01:48:43,643
- Who?
- The Dandy Warhols.
2292
01:48:43,684 --> 01:48:46,812
Unless it's part of like some
KROQ Christmas fucking thing
2293
01:48:46,896 --> 01:48:48,147
and he can't get out of it.
2294
01:48:48,231 --> 01:48:50,042
If you were gonna be
on The Jerry Springer Show,
2295
01:48:50,066 --> 01:48:51,484
what would your topic be?
2296
01:48:52,235 --> 01:48:53,835
And who would they invite on
to slap you?
2297
01:48:53,903 --> 01:48:55,821
What is it? Brian Jonestown Massacre?
2298
01:48:55,905 --> 01:48:58,491
Oh, "Stop stalking me".
2299
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:03,204
Um, "Write songs about some...
about your own fucking band".
2300
01:49:03,287 --> 01:49:04,914
They'd have that, that'd be the episode
2301
01:49:04,997 --> 01:49:07,059
and then they'd have
The Brian Jonestown Massacre on.
2302
01:49:07,083 --> 01:49:08,876
# And who is it Who's this guy #
2303
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:11,754
They're this band
They're great, and they're
2304
01:49:11,837 --> 01:49:13,232
they're really good friends of ours.
2305
01:49:13,256 --> 01:49:16,133
They're just kind of
not very well-adjusted people.
2306
01:49:16,175 --> 01:49:18,678
- Mm-hmm.
- They're not right in the head.
2307
01:49:18,719 --> 01:49:21,180
It's kind of sad to see them
be so dysfunctional.
2308
01:49:21,222 --> 01:49:23,266
'Cause the potential - Mm-hmm.
2309
01:49:23,349 --> 01:49:26,060
They're like The
Velvet Underground of the '90s
2310
01:49:26,143 --> 01:49:29,397
I regret the fact that I didn't know
2311
01:49:30,398 --> 01:49:34,735
how far gone Anton was in the beginning.
2312
01:49:34,819 --> 01:49:36,529
You know, Dutcher thinks it's negative
2313
01:49:36,612 --> 01:49:39,407
whenever I'm kind of down, you know,
2314
01:49:39,490 --> 01:49:40,700
like loaded or something.
2315
01:49:41,993 --> 01:49:44,328
But I try to explain
to Dutcher, like, "Look".
2316
01:49:45,162 --> 01:49:47,456
He's like, "Could you get
one of your friends, you know,
2317
01:49:47,540 --> 01:49:49,417
to be a guitar tech or do this T-shirt?"
2318
01:49:49,500 --> 01:49:52,712
I go "Look I don't have a,
car I don't have any money."
2319
01:49:53,379 --> 01:49:56,340
I don't have any friends
I'm in LA I stay in my house
2320
01:49:56,382 --> 01:49:58,593
I don't leave " You know?"
2321
01:49:58,676 --> 01:50:00,511
You know, I realize now that sort of
2322
01:50:00,553 --> 01:50:02,638
I walked into sort of a MASH unit,
2323
01:50:02,722 --> 01:50:05,057
you know, and I'm-I'm working in triage
2324
01:50:05,099 --> 01:50:07,727
I take all these bad feelings and then just
2325
01:50:07,810 --> 01:50:09,770
put it into music, you know
2326
01:50:09,854 --> 01:50:12,231
I let people interpret it how they will
2327
01:50:12,315 --> 01:50:13,941
I had to put as many pieces together
2328
01:50:13,983 --> 01:50:16,569
to keep it working as I could.
2329
01:50:16,652 --> 01:50:19,655
By December, I realized he was
in no shape to make a record
2330
01:50:19,739 --> 01:50:21,490
I mean, he couldn't get it clone.
2331
01:50:22,116 --> 01:50:24,410
And then we had to enlist
the help of Muddy.
2332
01:50:24,452 --> 01:50:25,786
Yeah Hi Um,
2333
01:50:26,704 --> 01:50:29,498
we need to rent a DA38 or a DA88
2334
01:50:30,374 --> 01:50:33,711
in the next, you know, five minutes.
2335
01:50:34,378 --> 01:50:36,756
Despite having some
bread for the first time ever,
2336
01:50:36,797 --> 01:50:39,300
things were getting
more and more desperate
2337
01:50:39,383 --> 01:50:43,137
and we had to resort to extreme
humor to keep spirits high.
2338
01:50:43,179 --> 01:50:46,599
Fucking Oasis And we're gonna
fucking take over the world.
2339
01:50:46,682 --> 01:50:49,226
.as Anton got higher and higher.
2340
01:50:49,268 --> 01:50:50,811
You seem in high spirits.
2341
01:50:50,853 --> 01:50:52,563
- Me?
- Feel good work's getting done?
2342
01:50:52,605 --> 01:50:55,733
I feel I-I seem high
is what I seem
2343
01:50:56,776 --> 01:50:59,320
In high spirits Yeah, exactly
what you said I'm sorry
2344
01:50:59,403 --> 01:51:01,989
I know how to keep
the fucking paparazzi at bay.
2345
01:51:02,031 --> 01:51:03,574
And he was arming Up.
2346
01:51:03,616 --> 01:51:04,616
Isn't that fucking.
2347
01:51:07,620 --> 01:51:08,954
- What?
- Don't, man.
2348
01:51:08,996 --> 01:51:10,122
That's what I thought.
2349
01:51:10,831 --> 01:51:12,500
Phew That was close.
2350
01:51:12,583 --> 01:51:13,583
Oh, I tripped.
2351
01:51:13,626 --> 01:51:16,671
Oh, Joel, do I make you horny?
2352
01:51:16,754 --> 01:51:17,838
Okay, that's it.
2353
01:51:19,298 --> 01:51:21,175
I know it's a party back here, but I mean,
2354
01:51:21,217 --> 01:51:22,819
I have to ask you guys
to go outside or go
2355
01:51:22,843 --> 01:51:24,387
because there's no way we can record.
2356
01:51:24,470 --> 01:51:25,888
You guys are just too loud.
2357
01:51:25,971 --> 01:51:28,224
Good God, man
We had no idea we're recording.
2358
01:51:28,307 --> 01:51:29,392
We are recording.
2359
01:51:29,975 --> 01:51:31,268
We got into the house.
2360
01:51:32,144 --> 01:51:33,479
It was a great setup.
2361
01:51:33,521 --> 01:51:36,190
All these hundreds of instruments
2362
01:51:36,273 --> 01:51:38,317
because that's the beauty of Anton.
2363
01:51:38,359 --> 01:51:39,694
He loves music.
2364
01:51:39,777 --> 01:51:42,488
He had every possible instrument
you could think about.
2365
01:51:42,530 --> 01:51:44,532
He had it there and they were playing it,
2366
01:51:44,573 --> 01:51:46,117
but you walked into the house
2367
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:49,286
and it just felt like death was everywhere.
2368
01:51:49,870 --> 01:51:52,498
It was just a smack house.
2369
01:51:52,540 --> 01:51:53,791
It was reeking of death,
2370
01:51:53,874 --> 01:51:56,377
and I thought that was the last
time I would actually see them.
2371
01:51:56,460 --> 01:51:58,671
There's so much more shit
that needs to be clone though.
2372
01:51:58,754 --> 01:52:00,297
Really, a lot?
2373
01:52:00,381 --> 01:52:02,758
Well, a lot of the music
doesn't sound done to me.
2374
01:52:02,842 --> 01:52:04,069
You know, if it weren't for Matt,
2375
01:52:04,093 --> 01:52:05,594
this record would've never come out.
2376
01:52:05,678 --> 01:52:07,888
Anton wouldn't have been able
to write any more songs.
2377
01:52:09,223 --> 01:52:10,933
I'm trying to make this good too, man.
2378
01:52:11,016 --> 01:52:12,059
Don't even do the intro.
2379
01:52:12,143 --> 01:52:14,395
Leave whatever's there,
record the rest of the song
2380
01:52:14,437 --> 01:52:16,397
I'll punch it in if it's not right
2381
01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:18,166
I don't care Just, like, you don't have to...
2382
01:52:18,190 --> 01:52:21,235
Yeah, 'cause we got all sorts
of time to do... fix punch-ins.
2383
01:52:28,367 --> 01:52:29,952
Wanna put the controller right here?
2384
01:52:30,035 --> 01:52:31,704
I don't understand what the problem is.
2385
01:52:31,787 --> 01:52:33,515
That's not where I wanna stick
the controller.
2386
01:52:33,539 --> 01:52:36,375
Well Muddy then go
home, so I can work.
2387
01:52:36,417 --> 01:52:37,626
Okay, I will - Thank you.
2388
01:52:41,297 --> 01:52:44,383
Anton fucking kicking Muddy
out of the recording.
2389
01:52:44,425 --> 01:52:47,386
Fucking saying, "Muddy, well,
maybe you should just leave,"
2390
01:52:47,428 --> 01:52:48,763
telling him to go.
2391
01:52:48,846 --> 01:52:50,514
Doing fucking dope again
2392
01:52:50,598 --> 01:52:52,349
when Michael Dutcher, our manager,
2393
01:52:52,433 --> 01:52:54,435
has told him that if he does it again,
2394
01:52:54,477 --> 01:52:56,771
he's gonna quit
and not manage us anymore
2395
01:52:56,854 --> 01:52:59,940
Anton is making a decision for
all of us that he wants to fail.
2396
01:52:59,982 --> 01:53:03,235
Alright, the name of our band
is The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
2397
01:53:03,277 --> 01:53:05,362
And, uh, thank you.
2398
01:53:05,446 --> 01:53:07,865
Um, the reason why we
haven't been playing out is
2399
01:53:07,948 --> 01:53:09,283
we've been recording a new album.
2400
01:53:09,325 --> 01:53:11,744
It's called, um, Strung Out in Heaven
2401
01:53:11,786 --> 01:53:16,832
# She said I love you #
2402
01:53:16,916 --> 01:53:19,710
# And I know it can't be wrong #
2403
01:53:19,752 --> 01:53:22,213
# 'Cause I've waited for so long #
2404
01:53:22,296 --> 01:53:24,799
# I've waited for you #
2405
01:53:25,633 --> 01:53:26,633
Next!
2406
01:53:27,885 --> 01:53:30,221
I know it's Matt
It's cool He's doing revenge.
2407
01:53:31,180 --> 01:53:33,557
Now you know
why they don't let kids do dope.
2408
01:53:34,558 --> 01:53:35,810
They don't let kids drink
2409
01:53:35,893 --> 01:53:37,853
because fucking full-grown adults
2410
01:53:37,937 --> 01:53:39,897
can't even fucking deal with booze.
2411
01:53:41,607 --> 01:53:44,068
And some adults can't deal with reality.
2412
01:53:44,777 --> 01:53:47,238
Now you know
why we don't have any friends.
2413
01:53:47,321 --> 01:53:49,156
Play a love song!
2414
01:53:49,198 --> 01:53:51,367
- Love each other.
- Yeah.
2415
01:53:51,450 --> 01:53:53,577
Find me some fucking friends
that are worth loving
2416
01:53:53,661 --> 01:53:54,787
and I'll sing them a song.
2417
01:53:57,039 --> 01:53:59,500
Turn your fucking guitar down, asshole.
2418
01:54:00,042 --> 01:54:02,127
# Oh Lord, you know it ain't right #
2419
01:54:09,844 --> 01:54:11,720
This was Matt Hollywood's song.
2420
01:54:11,804 --> 01:54:12,763
He always sung it
2421
01:54:12,805 --> 01:54:14,473
# You know you hear me #
2422
01:54:16,433 --> 01:54:19,061
# And I paid my dues #
2423
01:54:25,943 --> 01:54:27,903
# But now I've seen the light #
2424
01:54:29,280 --> 01:54:31,824
# I'm gonna show it to you #
2425
01:54:43,752 --> 01:54:44,896
Matt doesn't want us to play anymore
2426
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:46,547
because we do heroin.
2427
01:54:46,630 --> 01:54:49,758
So he doesn't wanna be on stage
with people that do drugs.
2428
01:54:49,842 --> 01:54:52,720
For some reason, he's never
clone drugs before.
2429
01:54:52,761 --> 01:54:54,263
So Matt's gonna be signing autographs
2430
01:54:54,305 --> 01:54:55,723
at this side of the stage
2431
01:54:55,806 --> 01:54:56,974
I didn't say that at all
2432
01:54:57,057 --> 01:54:58,434
I said I didn't wanna be on stage
2433
01:54:58,475 --> 01:55:01,020
with a junkie asshole like this guy.
2434
01:55:01,103 --> 01:55:03,272
But anyway - You are a moron, Anton.
2435
01:55:03,355 --> 01:55:05,274
This was
Matt Hollywood's last show
2436
01:55:05,316 --> 01:55:07,192
with The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
2437
01:55:07,276 --> 01:55:08,587
- Well, I don't know about that.
- Don't break up.
2438
01:55:08,611 --> 01:55:10,112
But righteous, brother.
2439
01:55:13,699 --> 01:55:14,742
Bombs away.
2440
01:55:16,869 --> 01:55:18,996
It's like seeing the dark dark side,
2441
01:55:19,079 --> 01:55:20,265
- You know?
- Of what drugs do.
2442
01:55:20,289 --> 01:55:22,750
Well, it's 'cause, like, all
those '60s bands got into drugs.
2443
01:55:22,791 --> 01:55:24,460
They got... They were famous first.
2444
01:55:24,543 --> 01:55:27,338
There's just
too much stress on my soul.
2445
01:55:27,421 --> 01:55:29,107
I just wanna be around some
people that aren't hell-bent
2446
01:55:29,131 --> 01:55:30,531
on destroying themselves, you know?
2447
01:55:30,591 --> 01:55:32,718
Anton completely flipped out on me
2448
01:55:32,801 --> 01:55:34,136
last night and attacked me,
2449
01:55:34,219 --> 01:55:35,721
got a huge bump on my head
2450
01:55:35,804 --> 01:55:38,474
and a giant bite mark on my side.
2451
01:55:38,557 --> 01:55:40,476
That's a mean bite.
But in all fairness,
2452
01:55:40,559 --> 01:55:41,977
Matt was wielding a knife
2453
01:55:42,061 --> 01:55:44,897
I just wanted to talk to you about that
2454
01:55:44,980 --> 01:55:46,607
and maybe, like, uh,
2455
01:55:46,649 --> 01:55:48,984
what the future of this band's situation
2456
01:55:49,026 --> 01:55:50,819
and contract is gonna be
2457
01:55:50,903 --> 01:55:52,863
I have as much right to
anything that's in there,
2458
01:55:52,905 --> 01:55:55,658
but, like, there's someone
that was strangling me
2459
01:55:55,699 --> 01:55:57,010
and banging my head against the ground
2460
01:55:57,034 --> 01:55:58,234
that's gonna do the same thing
2461
01:55:58,285 --> 01:56:00,162
if I go back there, you know?
2462
01:56:00,245 --> 01:56:01,805
What are you
gonna do about Matt?
2463
01:56:02,247 --> 01:56:04,458
I don't do What is Matt
gonna do about Matt?
2464
01:56:04,500 --> 01:56:07,169
I don't babysit fucking 26-year-old guys
2465
01:56:07,211 --> 01:56:08,754
for a living, right?
2466
01:56:08,837 --> 01:56:10,506
I make great records for a living
2467
01:56:10,547 --> 01:56:13,008
I don't babysit adult alcoholics
2468
01:56:13,092 --> 01:56:15,302
I said, "I wanna let you into my life",
2469
01:56:15,344 --> 01:56:18,305
have access to talk to me,
to do one thing,
2470
01:56:18,347 --> 01:56:20,182
despite the fact
you don't have any money,
2471
01:56:20,224 --> 01:56:22,160
despite the fact that
all your friends are retarded
2472
01:56:22,184 --> 01:56:23,852
and you are considered insane,
2473
01:56:23,936 --> 01:56:26,647
despite the fact everybody says
this is not the way it's done.
2474
01:56:26,689 --> 01:56:29,108
You can do whatever the fuck
you want if you don't give up...
2475
01:56:29,191 --> 01:56:32,403
But there's a consequence to that, right?
2476
01:56:32,486 --> 01:56:35,698
People come and try and pull us
off the fucking stage at shows.
2477
01:56:35,781 --> 01:56:38,033
People throw beer bottles at me and shit.
2478
01:56:38,075 --> 01:56:40,202
So there's like a downside to that stuff,
2479
01:56:40,285 --> 01:56:41,412
you know what I mean?
2480
01:56:41,495 --> 01:56:42,847
Like you could do any drug in the world,
2481
01:56:42,871 --> 01:56:44,623
but you might fuck your life up.
2482
01:56:45,416 --> 01:56:48,377
That's what this movie's gonna
show if you don't fuck it up.
2483
01:56:49,211 --> 01:56:50,730
Well, I feel like I'm definitely leaving,
2484
01:56:50,754 --> 01:56:52,297
but I've said that before
2485
01:56:52,381 --> 01:56:54,216
I don't really know the person he is now
2486
01:56:54,299 --> 01:56:57,511
I would rather almost just think of him
2487
01:56:57,553 --> 01:56:59,054
as if he's dead or something
2488
01:56:59,138 --> 01:57:00,472
and, uh, miss him.
2489
01:57:03,767 --> 01:57:05,436
Who's in the band now?
2490
01:57:05,519 --> 01:57:08,605
Who fucking gives a shit?
Who's... who is ever in the band?
2491
01:57:08,689 --> 01:57:10,107
Whoever I say is in the band.
2492
01:57:10,190 --> 01:57:12,234
It's my fucking band I invented it.
2493
01:57:12,276 --> 01:57:15,362
These guys quit and join
as they feel like it.
2494
01:57:15,404 --> 01:57:16,739
And that doesn't matter
2495
01:57:16,822 --> 01:57:19,491
I would never manage another
person like Anton again
2496
01:57:19,575 --> 01:57:21,326
because you can't have
2497
01:57:21,910 --> 01:57:24,913
the hardcore sit-down with him
at times and say,
2498
01:57:24,955 --> 01:57:27,791
"You know, this is what's
really happening in your life.
2499
01:57:27,875 --> 01:57:29,752
You know, the illusion that you
wanna build
2500
01:57:29,793 --> 01:57:30,919
in your head is one thing,
2501
01:57:30,961 --> 01:57:33,589
but the reality is this"
2502
01:57:33,672 --> 01:57:34,899
I'm really tired 'cause
I've been doing business
2503
01:57:34,923 --> 01:57:37,259
for 24 hours for fucking months
2504
01:57:37,301 --> 01:57:40,095
I still haven't been off work
yet and you missed everything.
2505
01:57:40,179 --> 01:57:42,097
You don't even understand
how big this is.
2506
01:57:42,181 --> 01:57:44,308
They're flying fucking
photographers from New York
2507
01:57:44,391 --> 01:57:46,101
and making 'em do what I want.
2508
01:57:46,935 --> 01:57:48,937
You're gonna follow me
to a location right now.
2509
01:57:48,979 --> 01:57:50,439
We're gonna go, we'll use your ID,
2510
01:57:50,522 --> 01:57:52,441
your California ID, right?
2511
01:57:52,483 --> 01:57:53,901
- You have one?
- Mm-hmm.
2512
01:57:53,942 --> 01:57:56,111
And we're gonna go pawn
one of my guitars, okay?
2513
01:57:56,153 --> 01:57:58,989
We're getting $300
to make this photo shoot happen
2514
01:57:59,031 --> 01:58:00,532
and have some scratch.
2515
01:58:00,616 --> 01:58:01,926
- Do you understand that?
- Right.
2516
01:58:01,950 --> 01:58:04,203
So the movie gets better
So let's go do that.
2517
01:58:04,286 --> 01:58:06,046
Invite everybody you know
Say, "You wanna be"
2518
01:58:06,121 --> 01:58:08,665
in a Brian Jonestown Massacre
two-page spread in Magnet
2519
01:58:08,749 --> 01:58:10,042
by a pro photographer?
2520
01:58:10,125 --> 01:58:12,419
You wanna be in pictures
and record covers and shit?
2521
01:58:12,461 --> 01:58:13,962
You wanna, like, be there, like,
2522
01:58:14,004 --> 01:58:16,256
"a Coca-Cola commercial
for all of history?"
2523
01:58:17,049 --> 01:58:20,052
I go, "Check this out Ready?"
Are you ready for this?
2524
01:58:20,135 --> 01:58:21,654
- Mm-hmm.
- Tell them to wear fucking white
2525
01:58:21,678 --> 01:58:22,930
and come when I call.
2526
01:58:22,971 --> 01:58:24,515
with all the fruit
2527
01:58:27,059 --> 01:58:28,435
Watch out.
2528
01:58:28,519 --> 01:58:30,187
Berries and cherries - Anton.
2529
01:58:30,979 --> 01:58:32,539
? Do you
need one of these Joel.
2530
01:58:33,065 --> 01:58:34,065
A scarf?
2531
01:58:35,359 --> 01:58:36,485
Yeah.
2532
01:58:36,527 --> 01:58:39,029
That guy who ran by
with the white shirt on?
2533
01:58:39,071 --> 01:58:40,673
Yeah, yeah,
he was walking his dog
2534
01:58:40,697 --> 01:58:42,050
and he just walked by all of us
and he goes,
2535
01:58:42,074 --> 01:58:44,368
"Excuse me, are you guys
members of a cult
2536
01:58:44,451 --> 01:58:46,203
or are you just shooting? A video".
2537
01:58:46,245 --> 01:58:50,082
And I'm like, "Um, that's
a really good question, sir
2538
01:58:50,207 --> 01:58:53,043
I'm sorry that I can't answer
it for you right now
2539
01:58:53,085 --> 01:58:54,753
I'm still figuring it out myself"
2540
01:58:54,837 --> 01:58:58,298
# I'm heading down to Arkansas #
2541
01:59:00,050 --> 01:59:04,054
# To bury my old ma and pa #
2542
01:59:08,892 --> 01:59:11,103
Cool Have a break.
2543
01:59:12,437 --> 01:59:14,356
You happy with it?
2544
01:59:14,398 --> 01:59:15,440
Cool.
2545
01:59:15,524 --> 01:59:18,986
Well, I want it to be funny
and rad and a curiosity
2546
01:59:19,069 --> 01:59:20,588
I don't want none of that
pre-packaged bullshit
2547
01:59:20,612 --> 01:59:22,006
like the Dandys are getting pumped.
2548
01:59:22,030 --> 01:59:23,030
You know what I mean?
2549
01:59:23,574 --> 01:59:25,284
I wanna make it up as we go along.
2550
01:59:25,367 --> 01:59:26,761
- Do you know what I mean?
- The Brian Jonestown Massacre
2551
01:59:26,785 --> 01:59:29,371
I don't need some guy that
lives in... Which building is it?
2552
01:59:29,413 --> 01:59:30,414
Capitol?
2553
01:59:30,455 --> 01:59:32,100
I don't need some square
in that round building
2554
01:59:32,124 --> 01:59:34,293
pre-packaging a fucking idea for me.
2555
01:59:34,918 --> 01:59:36,545
I got more ideas than that whole fucking
2556
01:59:36,587 --> 01:59:37,588
little office of theirs
2557
01:59:38,422 --> 01:59:40,966
Courtney is a troublemaker artist, I'm not.
2558
01:59:41,049 --> 01:59:41,884
Do you understand that?
2559
01:59:41,925 --> 01:59:43,093
Shot! Beautiful.
2560
01:59:43,135 --> 01:59:45,137
Hold on Beautiful That
2561
01:59:48,432 --> 01:59:49,576
Upon our return
from Europe,
2562
01:59:49,600 --> 01:59:51,768
we began recording our next album,
2563
01:59:51,810 --> 01:59:53,937
Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia.
2564
01:59:53,979 --> 01:59:56,690
We recorded Thirteen Tales
from Urban Bohemia.
2565
01:59:56,773 --> 01:59:58,108
Yeah - Above a parking garage.
2566
01:59:58,150 --> 02:00:00,694
Above a parking garage
all the bums had urinated in
2567
02:00:09,620 --> 02:00:10,954
Recording Thirteen Tales
2568
02:00:10,996 --> 02:00:13,707
was probably the best
recording experience.
2569
02:00:13,790 --> 02:00:17,711
The level of creativity was really intense.
2570
02:00:17,794 --> 02:00:20,964
Every single clay, a lot got done.
2571
02:00:21,006 --> 02:00:24,301
And it was really inspiring
That's the way I work the best.
2572
02:00:29,848 --> 02:00:31,058
? You ever clone that.
2573
02:00:31,141 --> 02:00:32,851
That's so sick.
2574
02:00:32,935 --> 02:00:34,353
okay, here we go
2575
02:00:46,448 --> 02:00:48,801
How did I get in, like,
the coolest band on the planet,
2576
02:00:48,825 --> 02:00:49,910
like, my first try?
2577
02:00:50,744 --> 02:00:53,205
Like, I saved up a lot
of good karma I think,
2578
02:00:54,331 --> 02:00:56,041
Like, when I pay for all the coke
2579
02:00:56,166 --> 02:00:58,502
and everyone smokes my cigarettes and.
2580
02:00:58,585 --> 02:01:01,338
"You know, I'm like," Okay,
well, I'm getting paid back
2581
02:01:01,380 --> 02:01:03,173
by being in a really
awesome band, you know?"
2582
02:01:03,215 --> 02:01:05,509
My good luck comes from other places
2583
02:01:05,592 --> 02:01:08,220
# So what do you do? #
2584
02:01:08,303 --> 02:01:10,097
# Oh, yeah, I wait tables too #
2585
02:01:10,180 --> 02:01:11,974
# No, I haven't heard your band #
2586
02:01:12,015 --> 02:01:13,684
# 'Cause you guys are pretty new. #
2587
02:01:28,865 --> 02:01:31,076
We released
a psychedelic rock record
2588
02:01:31,159 --> 02:01:32,869
during the heyday of boy bands.
2589
02:01:32,911 --> 02:01:34,830
So, naturally, radio and our record label
2590
02:01:34,871 --> 02:01:37,040
disregarded us completely.
2591
02:01:37,124 --> 02:01:39,376
A year and a half later,
a cell phone commercial
2592
02:01:39,459 --> 02:01:42,421
put "Bohemian Like You" into
households all across Europe.
2593
02:01:42,504 --> 02:01:44,339
We went there and it was huge.
2594
02:01:44,381 --> 02:01:46,133
They are actually one of the biggest
2595
02:01:46,216 --> 02:01:47,718
and the most famous bands
2596
02:01:47,801 --> 02:01:49,636
- here in Greece
- We heard.
2597
02:01:49,720 --> 02:01:53,432
Pieces of 12 different songs
of ours on radio stations here.
2598
02:01:54,141 --> 02:01:57,185
# Baby, come on, yeah #
2599
02:01:57,853 --> 02:02:00,480
# If you have a hard time gettin' there #
2600
02:02:00,564 --> 02:02:04,026
# Maybe you're gone #
2601
02:02:04,067 --> 02:02:06,069
# But if you find, you find yourself #
2602
02:02:06,153 --> 02:02:07,571
# Forget yourself #
2603
02:02:07,612 --> 02:02:09,406
# Hey, hey, hey #
2604
02:02:12,451 --> 02:02:14,745
I've seen them tonight
and they are the best ever.
2605
02:02:14,786 --> 02:02:17,539
To the drummer: Fantastic harmonies!
2606
02:02:17,581 --> 02:02:19,708
Courtney, you've got the
best fucking voice ever, man,
2607
02:02:19,791 --> 02:02:21,418
and it carries well You're fantastic.
2608
02:02:21,460 --> 02:02:23,628
After feeding
our fan base across Europe,
2609
02:02:23,712 --> 02:02:25,422
we return to the UK
2610
02:02:25,464 --> 02:02:27,132
to headline a major festival run
2611
02:02:27,215 --> 02:02:29,259
with other highly successful acts.
2612
02:02:43,523 --> 02:02:45,442
# So, what do you do? #
2613
02:02:46,109 --> 02:02:48,195
# Oh, yeah, I wait tables too #
2614
02:02:48,278 --> 02:02:49,780
# No, I haven't heard your band #
2615
02:02:49,821 --> 02:02:51,490
# 'Cause you guys are pretty new #
2616
02:02:51,531 --> 02:02:55,285
# But if you dig on vegan food #
2617
02:02:55,369 --> 02:02:56,912
# Well, come over to my work #
2618
02:02:56,995 --> 02:02:58,538
# I'll have them cook you something #
2619
02:02:58,622 --> 02:03:00,499
# That you'll really love #
2620
02:03:00,582 --> 02:03:02,459
# 'Cause I like you #
2621
02:03:02,501 --> 02:03:03,919
# Yeah, I like you #
2622
02:03:04,002 --> 02:03:07,172
# And I'm feeling so bohemian like you #
2623
02:03:07,923 --> 02:03:11,426
# Yeah, I like you #
2624
02:03:11,510 --> 02:03:14,262
# And I feel, whoa, woo! #
2625
02:03:14,346 --> 02:03:15,847
The Dandy Warhols.
2626
02:03:15,931 --> 02:03:17,182
Dandy Warhols.
2627
02:03:17,265 --> 02:03:19,518
Ladies and gentlemen,
The Dandy Warhols.
2628
02:03:19,559 --> 02:03:21,061
You guys sounded great - Oh.
2629
02:03:21,144 --> 02:03:24,856
Like, "I'm so glad I like them
'Cause they're such nice people.
2630
02:03:24,898 --> 02:03:25,917
What happens if I didn't like them?"
2631
02:03:25,941 --> 02:03:27,085
- Isn't that the worst?
- Yeah.
2632
02:03:27,109 --> 02:03:28,235
It was great, though, man.
2633
02:03:28,318 --> 02:03:29,736
Thanks - Glad to hear you.
2634
02:03:29,820 --> 02:03:31,172
Was fuckin' great - Oh, thanks, bro.
2635
02:03:31,196 --> 02:03:33,782
Your guys' was good too
I caught a couple songs.
2636
02:03:33,865 --> 02:03:36,368
Great set, great set, really enjoyed it.
2637
02:03:36,451 --> 02:03:38,203
We had hit another peak.
2638
02:03:38,245 --> 02:03:40,664
We were playing sold out shows
and festivals
2639
02:03:40,705 --> 02:03:43,333
for 70,000 to 100,000 people
2640
02:03:43,375 --> 02:03:44,876
and we were loving it.
2641
02:03:48,296 --> 02:03:49,965
I guess TVT wound up losing
a lot of money
2642
02:03:50,048 --> 02:03:51,234
on The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
2643
02:03:51,258 --> 02:03:52,735
At the beginning,
there was a lot of success.
2644
02:03:52,759 --> 02:03:54,344
We shipped 30,000 records.
2645
02:03:54,386 --> 02:03:56,221
We went number three at CMJ.
2646
02:03:56,304 --> 02:03:58,974
And then the sales didn't really come.
2647
02:03:59,057 --> 02:04:01,351
There were eight people on the road.
2648
02:04:01,393 --> 02:04:04,354
Um, they did, you know, 147 shows,
2649
02:04:04,396 --> 02:04:07,149
but I think people wound up
going to the live show
2650
02:04:07,232 --> 02:04:10,068
to see if Anton was gonna
punch his bass player
2651
02:04:10,110 --> 02:04:12,612
or if Anton was gonna walk out
on the show
2652
02:04:12,696 --> 02:04:14,614
With disappointment
at the label
2653
02:04:14,698 --> 02:04:16,408
and strife inside the band,
2654
02:04:16,491 --> 02:04:17,951
it seemed like the end of the line
2655
02:04:18,034 --> 02:04:19,786
for The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
2656
02:04:19,870 --> 02:04:22,247
The lineup that had put
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
2657
02:04:22,289 --> 02:04:25,250
on the map dissolved
in the coming days.
2658
02:04:27,335 --> 02:04:29,754
I can't come to the phone now
because I don't have a life
2659
02:04:29,838 --> 02:04:34,134
and I just wasted four years on
a total fucking waste of time.
2660
02:04:34,217 --> 02:04:36,094
That wasn't
supposed to be the finale.
2661
02:04:36,136 --> 02:04:37,387
What a gyp.
2662
02:04:37,429 --> 02:04:38,629
Message four
2663
02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:40,974
Are you
under enemy lines right now?
2664
02:04:41,266 --> 02:04:42,577
Alright, you bunch of turds,
2665
02:04:42,601 --> 02:04:45,520
get your asses over here We're drinking
2666
02:04:54,779 --> 02:04:55,780
- Hello?
- Hello?
2667
02:04:55,864 --> 02:04:57,491
Oh, this is gonna be so cool today.
2668
02:04:58,283 --> 02:04:59,159
Shit.
2669
02:04:59,242 --> 02:05:00,428
We're going in the studio Monday,
2670
02:05:00,452 --> 02:05:01,411
to record.
2671
02:05:01,453 --> 02:05:02,597
The first song is just gonna be on..
2672
02:05:09,628 --> 02:05:10,921
So I'm in the middle of, uh,
2673
02:05:10,962 --> 02:05:13,006
working on my ninth album,
2674
02:05:13,089 --> 02:05:15,759
if you can believe that
I'm the fucking world champion.
2675
02:05:15,800 --> 02:05:17,969
Fired or kicked half of the people
2676
02:05:18,053 --> 02:05:20,055
out of our band and the other half quit.
2677
02:05:20,138 --> 02:05:23,016
Seemed like a good idea at
the... at the time,
2678
02:05:23,099 --> 02:05:25,143
but, uh, it turned out pretty good.
2679
02:05:25,227 --> 02:05:27,729
It's pretty rocking, pretty, uh, crazy.
2680
02:05:27,812 --> 02:05:30,148
- Joel!
- It should be pretty crazy
2681
02:05:30,190 --> 02:05:32,025
Joel? Joel wussed out.
2682
02:05:32,108 --> 02:05:35,195
He said, "I don't wanna be in
a band with any drug-freaking,
2683
02:05:35,278 --> 02:05:37,572
fucking weirdos anymore".
2684
02:05:37,656 --> 02:05:40,408
If you can imagine that.
2685
02:05:40,492 --> 02:05:41,868
Imagine this.
2686
02:05:41,952 --> 02:05:43,995
I went into witness protection.
2687
02:05:44,037 --> 02:05:44,996
Just kidding.
2688
02:05:45,038 --> 02:05:46,039
Actually, I moved back
2689
02:05:46,122 --> 02:05:47,415
up to Northern California,
2690
02:05:47,499 --> 02:05:48,667
so I have no idea
2691
02:05:48,708 --> 02:05:51,086
how Anton convinced Jef
to do this show.
2692
02:05:51,169 --> 02:05:54,589
# I close my eyes #
2693
02:05:54,673 --> 02:05:57,342
# And you're there with me #
2694
02:05:57,425 --> 02:05:59,094
# Your kiss I feel #
2695
02:06:00,428 --> 02:06:02,138
# Your face I see #
2696
02:06:03,390 --> 02:06:05,684
# It's not your touch, girl #
2697
02:06:06,518 --> 02:06:08,687
# That's driving me crazy #
2698
02:06:09,688 --> 02:06:13,775
# It's just those lonesome memories #
2699
02:06:13,858 --> 02:06:17,862
# Those memories, those memories #
2700
02:06:29,040 --> 02:06:30,458
Oh, yeah, that's so cool.
2701
02:06:30,542 --> 02:06:32,711
You're gonna like sit there and hide,
2702
02:06:32,752 --> 02:06:36,214
hide in the darkness
and throw fucking fruit at me.
2703
02:06:36,256 --> 02:06:41,219
Seriously No, don't hide
in the back and throw fruit
2704
02:06:41,303 --> 02:06:43,805
when we're trying to play music Okay?
2705
02:06:43,888 --> 02:06:45,640
Come on up here in the light
2706
02:06:45,724 --> 02:06:48,310
where we can see
your fucking cowardness,
2707
02:06:48,393 --> 02:06:51,187
where we can see your fucking
shaking little hands.
2708
02:06:51,229 --> 02:06:52,606
Or, no, just stand back there.
2709
02:06:52,689 --> 02:06:55,108
Why don't you throw a fucking
glass or something?
2710
02:06:55,150 --> 02:06:57,944
Do you got a gun?
Why don't you shoot at us?
2711
02:06:57,986 --> 02:06:59,946
What are you fucking doing?
2712
02:06:59,988 --> 02:07:03,450
- I'll just fucking leave, man.
- Play! Play! Play!
2713
02:07:23,136 --> 02:07:25,096
Check it out, Jeff
You threw clown my guitar.
2714
02:07:25,138 --> 02:07:26,306
You ain't getting
2715
02:07:26,348 --> 02:07:28,308
I'd like to see you get paid for that.
2716
02:07:30,393 --> 02:07:32,812
That's cool - You know what?
2717
02:07:32,896 --> 02:07:34,648
- Who cares?
- I never got paid
2718
02:07:34,731 --> 02:07:39,235
for all the years that I got
fucked in the ass by you.
2719
02:07:39,319 --> 02:07:42,739
So why the fuck
am I gonna get paid now?
2720
02:07:43,573 --> 02:07:44,741
Whoo!
2721
02:07:53,333 --> 02:07:55,377
I'd like to see me get paid too
2722
02:08:04,219 --> 02:08:07,514
And that's why I'm not playing with you.
2723
02:08:07,597 --> 02:08:08,973
Fuck you!
2724
02:08:09,766 --> 02:08:13,520
His whole band quit,
like, the original lineup.
2725
02:08:13,603 --> 02:08:17,816
And then the second lineup
that he had completely quit
2726
02:08:17,857 --> 02:08:19,275
Anton said"Hey listen, ,
2727
02:08:19,359 --> 02:08:22,237
will you just sit up there
with me and play guitar?
2728
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:23,964
Like I don't even care,
if you know the songs.
2729
02:08:23,988 --> 02:08:26,700
Just sit there, even sit on stage
2730
02:08:26,783 --> 02:08:28,543
I'll play the whole show if you sit there...
2731
02:08:28,618 --> 02:08:32,372
Like, within 20 minutes of being
back from rehab for two months,
2732
02:08:33,415 --> 02:08:35,125
he went and bought dope
2733
02:08:35,208 --> 02:08:37,585
and got dope from Sandy, I guess, and
2734
02:08:38,670 --> 02:08:40,255
and started doing it again.
2735
02:08:40,338 --> 02:08:42,882
And he's really sad over Tara,
2736
02:08:42,924 --> 02:08:44,050
his breakup with Tara.
2737
02:08:45,343 --> 02:08:47,053
He's just so devastated.
2738
02:08:51,850 --> 02:08:53,977
I love him I love him so much.
2739
02:08:56,062 --> 02:08:58,314
Our relationship
was pretty good for a while
2740
02:08:58,398 --> 02:09:00,900
expected responsibility
for what I did wrong
2741
02:09:00,984 --> 02:09:02,569
in my personal life.
2742
02:09:02,610 --> 02:09:03,695
Anton was funny.
2743
02:09:03,778 --> 02:09:05,905
Anton, have you ever had an affair?
2744
02:09:05,989 --> 02:09:07,407
I guess Yeah
2745
02:09:07,449 --> 02:09:09,576
I think it's time for you to resign.
2746
02:09:09,617 --> 02:09:10,702
Effective noon today,
2747
02:09:10,744 --> 02:09:12,579
I will no longer be Anton Newcombe
2748
02:09:13,580 --> 02:09:15,415
He was
and loving.
2749
02:09:15,498 --> 02:09:16,708
Okay We
2750
02:09:24,549 --> 02:09:25,592
? What are you gonna do.
2751
02:09:26,593 --> 02:09:28,595
Dream of you
2752
02:09:29,095 --> 02:09:30,095
Goodbye.
2753
02:09:31,014 --> 02:09:32,807
We were really in love.
2754
02:09:34,726 --> 02:09:36,436
Oh, my Anton!
2755
02:09:38,271 --> 02:09:41,524
I guess I really love
the potential
2756
02:09:43,443 --> 02:09:46,613
And, like, that it keeps, like,
coming out like in glimpses.
2757
02:09:46,654 --> 02:09:48,466
Like it's a... He's a
really beautiful person.
2758
02:09:48,490 --> 02:09:50,784
He has the potential of being
a really beautiful person
2759
02:09:54,245 --> 02:09:55,163
And it's just really sad
2760
02:09:55,246 --> 02:09:57,457
because I think you're on this planet
2761
02:09:57,499 --> 02:10:00,168
for a certain amount of time
to, like, really fulfill that.
2762
02:10:00,251 --> 02:10:01,753
And it's just such a disappointment
2763
02:10:01,795 --> 02:10:04,631
when there's too much blockage there
2764
02:10:04,714 --> 02:10:07,467
so that a person can't
It's just very sad
2765
02:10:10,929 --> 02:10:12,889
Anton just don't die,
2766
02:10:16,142 --> 02:10:18,478
Please just don't, Like,
what's the alternative?
2767
02:10:18,561 --> 02:10:21,523
You either get straight or you die.
2768
02:10:22,273 --> 02:10:23,191
Ugh.
2769
02:10:28,154 --> 02:10:29,173
Up in Portland,
2770
02:10:29,197 --> 02:10:30,990
we were wrapping up our fourth record,
2771
02:10:31,074 --> 02:10:32,194
Welcome to the Monkey House,
2772
02:10:32,242 --> 02:10:34,452
and turning
our label's promotional budget
2773
02:10:34,494 --> 02:10:38,456
into a Dandy Warhols' version
of Andy Warhol's Factor.
2774
02:10:39,499 --> 02:10:43,461
The idea of.. Of a community of artists
2775
02:10:43,503 --> 02:10:45,880
that are not being judged negatively
2776
02:10:45,964 --> 02:10:49,592
by what's weird or screwy
about 'em, but being glorified.
2777
02:10:49,676 --> 02:10:51,594
We took the video budget
2778
02:10:51,678 --> 02:10:55,223
and instead of building sets
and having 'em torn clown,
2779
02:10:55,265 --> 02:10:57,976
we had sets built permanently.
2780
02:10:58,518 --> 02:11:00,603
And now we'll be able to rehearse
2781
02:11:00,687 --> 02:11:02,981
and have our own shows in that room.
2782
02:11:03,064 --> 02:11:05,066
That angle looks fucking great.
2783
02:11:05,149 --> 02:11:08,152
# Just remember me when #
2784
02:11:08,236 --> 02:11:10,488
# We used to be friends #
2785
02:11:10,530 --> 02:11:12,657
# A long time ago #
2786
02:11:12,699 --> 02:11:15,201
# We used to be friends #
2787
02:11:15,243 --> 02:11:19,080
It's controlled cs, really
The stage show
2788
02:11:19,163 --> 02:11:21,457
I'm looking forward to
seeing 'em on the new record.
2789
02:11:21,541 --> 02:11:23,084
It's different, which I like.
2790
02:11:23,668 --> 02:11:26,021
This is Nic Harcourt, your host
for Morning Becomes Eclectic.
2791
02:11:26,045 --> 02:11:28,965
Up next, brand new music
from The Dandy Warhols
2792
02:11:36,848 --> 02:11:39,225
Always, by the time
I'm ready for it to change
2793
02:11:39,267 --> 02:11:41,185
and to get bigger, it gets bigger,
2794
02:11:42,270 --> 02:11:45,607
and it hasn't stopped getting bigger yet.
2795
02:11:45,690 --> 02:11:49,861
# I am alone but adored #
2796
02:11:49,944 --> 02:11:53,156
# By a hundred thousand more #
2797
02:11:53,865 --> 02:11:55,408
We established so early on
2798
02:11:55,450 --> 02:11:57,869
that we're gonna be big
for just being who we are
2799
02:11:57,952 --> 02:12:00,830
and that just saved us
so much work, I think.
2800
02:12:00,872 --> 02:12:02,290
It's fun on tour,
2801
02:12:03,291 --> 02:12:05,460
it's fun in the studio,
2802
02:12:05,501 --> 02:12:07,712
it's fun at dinner, it's fun at the bar.
2803
02:12:07,795 --> 02:12:09,339
The secret is..
2804
02:12:10,256 --> 02:12:14,344
If it's good, it's fun, and if it
2805
02:12:14,427 --> 02:12:16,679
if it's bad, it's funny.
2806
02:12:17,430 --> 02:12:21,184
# But you were awake,
and I should have stayed #
2807
02:12:22,101 --> 02:12:24,312
# But I wandered #
2808
02:12:24,395 --> 02:12:25,995
We don't wanna
be a dysfunctional family.
2809
02:12:26,064 --> 02:12:28,191
We're responsible,
much more responsible people.
2810
02:12:28,274 --> 02:12:29,984
You know, half the band's married
2811
02:12:30,068 --> 02:12:33,404
I don't know, we all have cars
and we take our job seriously.
2812
02:12:33,488 --> 02:12:36,074
Dave Deresinski was amazed
2813
02:12:36,157 --> 02:12:39,160
that all of us managed to
keep, um, what was it?
2814
02:12:39,243 --> 02:12:43,373
A job, a car, and a house
Whereas his band
2815
02:12:43,456 --> 02:12:44,624
never could have all three.
2816
02:12:44,666 --> 02:12:46,834
They could have one, two, or two,
2817
02:12:46,876 --> 02:12:48,503
but never all three.
2818
02:12:48,586 --> 02:12:51,005
The Dandy Warhols
are the greatest cartoon.
2819
02:12:51,089 --> 02:12:54,926
That's what I think it takes
to be successful as a pop star.
2820
02:12:55,009 --> 02:12:56,862
I don't give a fuck
what they do It's not for me.
2821
02:12:56,886 --> 02:12:58,721
He's not singing songs for me.
2822
02:12:58,805 --> 02:13:00,515
"Minnesoter"? You know?
2823
02:13:00,598 --> 02:13:02,850
You're, like, fucking, "Hot-diggity-dog",
2824
02:13:02,934 --> 02:13:04,435
all we wanna do is get o '?
2825
02:13:04,519 --> 02:13:08,189
Li... Go read my fucking
lyrics, man He's a joke.
2826
02:13:08,272 --> 02:13:12,568
But Dandys Rule OK, you know?
Hey, that's a great record.
2827
02:13:12,652 --> 02:13:14,338
They were
absolutely our favorite band
2828
02:13:14,362 --> 02:13:15,947
and they were the most interesting
2829
02:13:16,030 --> 02:13:17,490
and amazing characters.
2830
02:13:17,532 --> 02:13:20,034
But it's basically like a pack
of 14-year-old boys
2831
02:13:20,118 --> 02:13:22,912
from abusive, broken homes
2832
02:13:22,954 --> 02:13:26,040
set loose in the ghetto.
2833
02:13:26,874 --> 02:13:29,210
You know what I mean?
That's what that felt like.
2834
02:13:29,293 --> 02:13:32,213
Like, let's go hang with them,
but come on.
2835
02:13:32,964 --> 02:13:35,091
You know, these kids
are all gonna end up in prison.
2836
02:13:35,174 --> 02:13:38,511
Last I heard, Anton had cleaned up,
2837
02:13:38,553 --> 02:13:40,096
put together a whole new lineup
2838
02:13:40,179 --> 02:13:42,890
and gone on an independent
tour across America.
2839
02:13:42,974 --> 02:13:44,559
Though successful financially,
2840
02:13:44,642 --> 02:13:47,854
the tour was riddled
with fights and anxiety
2841
02:13:47,895 --> 02:13:51,274
as Anton heard the news
of the birth of his son.
2842
02:13:51,357 --> 02:13:53,526
The last show of the tour
was in Los Angeles.
2843
02:13:53,568 --> 02:13:57,155
It's been a tough year
Let me entertain you, okay?
2844
02:13:57,238 --> 02:13:59,907
Let me just do this 'cause I'm sick
2845
02:13:59,949 --> 02:14:02,243
I don't need to be here
I don't have a record company
2846
02:14:02,285 --> 02:14:05,455
I am the record company
Listen to my voice
2847
02:14:05,538 --> 02:14:08,166
I am not joking I am not for sale.
2848
02:14:08,249 --> 02:14:09,751
This is a gift for you.
2849
02:14:09,834 --> 02:14:14,088
You paid for it Enjoy it
Don't piss in the fucking well
2850
02:14:14,172 --> 02:14:16,007
I have a son.
2851
02:14:16,090 --> 02:14:18,634
Listen, I wanna go meet my son
2852
02:14:18,718 --> 02:14:21,804
I'll take your money to my son
and buy him something nice.
2853
02:14:21,888 --> 02:14:23,306
Let me entertain you.
2854
02:14:23,931 --> 02:14:26,184
- Love you, man!
- Thank you I love you too
2855
02:14:30,646 --> 02:14:32,440
You may have seen her around town.
2856
02:14:32,523 --> 02:14:34,776
Her name is Sara, she's my sister.
2857
02:14:35,443 --> 02:14:37,111
She's gonna play a song for you now
2858
02:14:37,195 --> 02:14:38,279
Sara, come out here
2859
02:14:48,581 --> 02:14:50,833
# I felt #
2860
02:14:50,917 --> 02:14:54,462
# I felt out of place #
2861
02:14:54,545 --> 02:14:55,963
# Go on. #
2862
02:14:58,633 --> 02:15:01,010
Just like how a shark has to keep moving
2863
02:15:01,052 --> 02:15:03,805
and if they stop, they'll die
2864
02:15:03,846 --> 02:15:05,723
I honestly don't know
what would happen to him
2865
02:15:05,807 --> 02:15:08,976
if he were successful and he
stopped having things to
2866
02:15:11,229 --> 02:15:12,647
really battle against
2867
02:15:21,739 --> 02:15:23,491
Hey, you're gonna get
your head kicked in.
2868
02:15:23,533 --> 02:15:26,536
Say it... Come up here
and say it to my face right now.
2869
02:15:26,577 --> 02:15:28,013
Say it to my face I don't think that's funny
2870
02:15:28,037 --> 02:15:29,747
I'm not into incest or child molestation.
2871
02:15:29,831 --> 02:15:31,833
Come up here, be a man
Don't hide back there.
2872
02:15:31,874 --> 02:15:33,292
Fuck love Relax.
2873
02:15:33,376 --> 02:15:35,878
It's okay, baby It's okay - Come here.
2874
02:15:35,962 --> 02:15:37,255
Relax
2875
02:15:37,338 --> 02:15:38,965
That's gonna hurt.
2876
02:15:39,048 --> 02:15:41,551
Don't talk like that to ladies
when they're entertaining you
2877
02:15:41,592 --> 02:15:43,403
I'll kick your fucking head
in - Oh, wow Yeah.
2878
02:15:43,427 --> 02:15:45,471
Come on back up here
I'll hit you again Come on.
2879
02:15:45,555 --> 02:15:47,849
Holy shit He kicked me in the head.
2880
02:15:47,890 --> 02:15:49,725
Hey, I'm gonna beat your fucking ass.
2881
02:15:49,767 --> 02:15:51,352
Hey, bouncers, bounce this guy
2882
02:15:51,394 --> 02:15:52,913
or else I'm gonna kill him in your club.
2883
02:15:52,937 --> 02:15:54,230
Here he is Do you guys have him?
2884
02:15:54,313 --> 02:15:55,624
I'm stopping this show Good night.
2885
02:15:55,648 --> 02:15:57,733
Restraining the lead singer.
2886
02:15:57,775 --> 02:16:01,112
He's on his way to you
with three security guards.
2887
02:16:02,071 --> 02:16:03,531
Hold him He's not coming out here.
2888
02:16:03,573 --> 02:16:05,199
The police are coming to him.
2889
02:16:05,241 --> 02:16:07,410
- Anton! Anton.
- We're going to the green room.
2890
02:16:07,451 --> 02:16:09,287
They're coming to you - That's fine.
2891
02:16:09,370 --> 02:16:11,122
That's.
2892
02:16:11,205 --> 02:16:13,082
We're taking him back to the green room.
2893
02:16:13,124 --> 02:16:14,333
That's fine.
2894
02:16:16,085 --> 02:16:17,085
Have a seat.
2895
02:16:18,754 --> 02:16:20,631
They want me dead
I'm not joking around, Ondi.
2896
02:16:20,715 --> 02:16:23,134
- You think so?
- I know for a fact It's over
2897
02:16:24,010 --> 02:16:27,096
I've already won My son's
here I got the door locked.
2898
02:16:27,138 --> 02:16:29,265
Today is a wonderful day to die.
2899
02:16:29,348 --> 02:16:30,576
Those guys will probably kill me.
2900
02:16:30,600 --> 02:16:32,059
Yes, sir - Hands behind your back,
2901
02:16:32,101 --> 02:16:33,311
palms together Face the wall.
2902
02:16:33,394 --> 02:16:36,230
- Careful with one thing.
- You got it Go ahead, quick.
2903
02:16:36,272 --> 02:16:37,583
Okay, no, put your hands
behind your back.
2904
02:16:37,607 --> 02:16:39,775
Palms together There you go.
2905
02:16:39,817 --> 02:16:41,944
If you want, we can double handcuff you.
2906
02:16:42,028 --> 02:16:45,531
Sorry I didn't ever get to see
my son, but that's the breaks
2907
02:16:45,615 --> 02:16:46,699
I didn't do nothing.
2908
02:16:46,782 --> 02:16:48,260
Our watch commander's
probably gonna advise
2909
02:16:48,284 --> 02:16:50,119
that we book him for, uh, ADW.
2910
02:16:50,161 --> 02:16:51,221
Assault with a deadly weapon.
2911
02:16:51,245 --> 02:16:54,415
- Anytime you use.
- Anything besides your hands?
2912
02:16:54,457 --> 02:16:55,958
Yeah If you use your feet,
2913
02:16:56,000 --> 02:16:57,644
because of the power
you can generate in your legs
2914
02:16:57,668 --> 02:16:59,068
when you kick somebody in the head.
2915
02:16:59,795 --> 02:17:01,422
I cannot get out
2916
02:17:01,464 --> 02:17:02,632
I'm in till Tuesday
2917
02:17:02,715 --> 02:17:04,592
and they're putting me with the bad guys.
2918
02:17:04,634 --> 02:17:07,511
Ondi, tell my son I love him
I'm never gonna see him.
2919
02:17:07,595 --> 02:17:09,972
They're gonna kill me
I'm telling you the truth.
2920
02:17:14,477 --> 02:17:16,330
Alright, so we weren't
even gonna play tonight,
2921
02:17:16,354 --> 02:17:17,563
but everybody knows
2922
02:17:17,647 --> 02:17:19,774
that we're gonna fight the good fight
2923
02:17:27,990 --> 02:17:30,993
# Three words you have spoken #
2924
02:17:36,165 --> 02:17:39,377
# Don't make me a fool #
2925
02:17:41,337 --> 02:17:47,343
He's like this brilliant
monster creator of art
2926
02:17:47,426 --> 02:17:49,679
that, you know, generally
is like three years ahead.
2927
02:17:49,762 --> 02:17:51,240
And I always think
I'm catching up to him,
2928
02:17:51,264 --> 02:17:54,308
and then he comes up with
something that I just go.
2929
02:17:55,935 --> 02:17:57,520
I can't believe what he just did.
2930
02:17:57,603 --> 02:18:00,189
He's just always ahead He's so amazing.
2931
02:18:01,440 --> 02:18:04,610
# Please play by the rules #
2932
02:18:05,319 --> 02:18:09,198
# Please play by the rules #
2933
02:18:09,824 --> 02:18:12,952
# If I knew my way out #
2934
02:18:13,035 --> 02:18:14,578
There's no way to have a revolution
2935
02:18:14,662 --> 02:18:16,205
if you stay underground.
2936
02:18:16,247 --> 02:18:17,832
What the fuck's the point of that?
2937
02:18:17,873 --> 02:18:21,002
The whole point was for him
to get above ground as well.
2938
02:18:21,043 --> 02:18:23,087
And then he could have his revolution.
2939
02:18:26,549 --> 02:18:28,384
# Was it free for the taking? #
2940
02:18:28,426 --> 02:18:29,885
There has been a revolution.
2941
02:18:29,969 --> 02:18:32,305
Do you hear The White Stripes
on the fucking radio?
2942
02:18:32,388 --> 02:18:33,514
There's a big difference
2943
02:18:33,556 --> 02:18:36,559
because when I started,
it was Pearl Jam.
2944
02:18:36,642 --> 02:18:38,477
Obviously, the revolution happened.
2945
02:18:38,561 --> 02:18:40,604
How many people are
imitating Pearl Jam right now?
2946
02:18:40,688 --> 02:18:42,231
Not-not that many.
2947
02:18:42,273 --> 02:18:44,191
How many imitators do I have?
2948
02:18:44,775 --> 02:18:47,069
I played a part in opening that up.
2949
02:18:47,111 --> 02:18:49,530
Why don't they tell people
who influenced them?
2950
02:18:49,572 --> 02:18:52,241
They don't because they're
self-serving fucking bastards.
2951
02:18:52,325 --> 02:18:56,662
Everyone that Anton's ever met
has gone on to make great music.
2952
02:18:56,746 --> 02:18:59,415
Peter from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
2953
02:18:59,498 --> 02:19:00,767
used to be in Brian Jonestown
Massacre,
2954
02:19:00,791 --> 02:19:01,834
they're signed to Virgin.
2955
02:19:01,917 --> 02:19:03,836
Miranda Lee Richards
She signed to Virgin.
2956
02:19:03,919 --> 02:19:05,439
The Warlocks,
there's the Beachwood Sparks,
2957
02:19:05,463 --> 02:19:06,606
and The Tide, and The Lilies,
2958
02:19:06,630 --> 02:19:09,467
which is all kind of part
of Anton's scene And
2959
02:19:09,550 --> 02:19:11,844
he is exactly where he was before,
2960
02:19:11,927 --> 02:19:13,322
'cause Anton was never really interested
2961
02:19:13,346 --> 02:19:15,348
in having a professional career.
2962
02:19:15,431 --> 02:19:18,017
Um, he just wants to play rock and roll.
2963
02:19:18,100 --> 02:19:21,270
The fuckers, the bean-counters,
the lawyers.
2964
02:19:21,312 --> 02:19:23,230
All these assholes at every label.
2965
02:19:23,314 --> 02:19:25,208
Those are the people
that wreck the music business.
2966
02:19:25,232 --> 02:19:28,527
Not Napster, not some
college kid downloading shit,
2967
02:19:28,611 --> 02:19:29,904
the people without vision.
2968
02:19:31,072 --> 02:19:32,239
The music's strong enough
2969
02:19:32,323 --> 02:19:34,450
that there probably will be a generation
2970
02:19:34,492 --> 02:19:38,079
that discovers them
like this rare, fossilized gem.
2971
02:19:38,788 --> 02:19:40,998
And mine it for all it's worth
2972
02:19:44,335 --> 02:19:46,375
You know, they continue
to make good records
2973
02:19:46,420 --> 02:19:47,713
and they continue to inspire us
2974
02:19:47,797 --> 02:19:49,483
even though they're not
maybe at the same level.
2975
02:19:49,507 --> 02:19:51,675
And they'll they'll be remembered forever.
2976
02:19:51,759 --> 02:19:53,928
You know, their records
will become collectors' items,
2977
02:19:54,011 --> 02:19:55,011
when.
2978
02:19:55,513 --> 02:19:57,848
And who knows,
we might just be forgotten.
2979
02:19:59,141 --> 02:20:02,144
# What we understand #
2980
02:20:03,396 --> 02:20:07,274
# What we understand #
2981
02:20:33,217 --> 02:20:35,719
Alright, so let's catch you up.
2982
02:20:35,803 --> 02:20:37,346
It's 20 years later
2983
02:20:37,388 --> 02:20:40,224
I'm back in the band and we're
playing massive festivals
2984
02:20:40,266 --> 02:20:43,060
like this one,
La Route du Rock in France.
2985
02:20:43,102 --> 02:20:45,479
And we set out on our biggest tour ever,
2986
02:20:45,563 --> 02:20:48,524
two and a half months of dates
all over the world.
2987
02:20:48,566 --> 02:20:51,569
However, the BJM lineup
from the original DIG!
2988
02:20:51,610 --> 02:20:53,612
Never played together again.
2989
02:20:53,696 --> 02:20:55,406
Anton settled in Berlin,
2990
02:20:55,489 --> 02:20:57,575
has managed to stay relatively clean,
2991
02:20:57,658 --> 02:21:00,911
and after releasing another 19 albums,
2992
02:21:00,953 --> 02:21:03,831
landing the opening track
to Boardwalk Empire,
2993
02:21:03,914 --> 02:21:06,542
and attracting a number
of celebrity admirers.
2994
02:21:06,584 --> 02:21:10,421
Yes, he even made lamb for the
late, great Anthony Bourdain.
2995
02:21:10,463 --> 02:21:12,590
It's safe to say
he's firmly established himself
2996
02:21:12,631 --> 02:21:15,676
as the ornery elder statesman
of psych rock.
2997
02:21:15,759 --> 02:21:17,803
Uh
2998
02:21:17,887 --> 02:21:19,305
Matt Hollywood sued Anton
2999
02:21:19,388 --> 02:21:21,432
for unpaid publishing royalties.
3000
02:21:21,515 --> 02:21:23,893
They settled for an undisclosed sum.
3001
02:21:24,435 --> 02:21:27,271
He now lives in Austin
and is still making music.
3002
02:21:27,354 --> 02:21:29,732
Jeff Davies also sued Anton - Wow.
3003
02:21:29,773 --> 02:21:30,941
And from what I hear,
3004
02:21:31,025 --> 02:21:32,419
with the money from his settlement,
3005
02:21:32,443 --> 02:21:34,278
he bought his mother a house.
3006
02:21:34,361 --> 02:21:35,446
Whoo!
3007
02:21:35,488 --> 02:21:37,448
Dave Deresinski tour manages
3008
02:21:37,531 --> 02:21:39,700
and is helping Matt record his new album.
3009
02:21:39,783 --> 02:21:42,536
Despite being the only one
to actually threaten to do it
3010
02:21:42,620 --> 02:21:43,787
in the original film
3011
02:21:43,829 --> 02:21:46,040
I'm gonna sue the fucking shit out of him.
3012
02:21:46,123 --> 02:21:48,584
he did not sue Why?
3013
02:21:48,626 --> 02:21:50,669
I was never in it for the money
3014
02:21:50,753 --> 02:21:53,088
I was in it for history.
3015
02:21:53,130 --> 02:21:55,090
As for the rest of the band,
3016
02:21:55,132 --> 02:21:57,384
Peter Hayes is living the rock dream
3017
02:21:57,468 --> 02:21:59,386
with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
3018
02:21:59,470 --> 02:22:02,348
And last I heard from Dean,
he'd gotten sober,
3019
02:22:02,431 --> 02:22:03,933
moved to South Carolina,
3020
02:22:03,974 --> 02:22:05,935
and had gotten his real estate license.
3021
02:22:06,519 --> 02:22:09,688
Oh, what about me? I wrote a book.
3022
02:22:09,772 --> 02:22:11,941
And as crazy as it may sound,
3023
02:22:11,982 --> 02:22:13,484
turns out I'm even better at writing
3024
02:22:13,526 --> 02:22:15,152
than playing the tambourine.
3025
02:22:15,236 --> 02:22:16,904
It's the one thing that has kept me sane
3026
02:22:16,987 --> 02:22:18,239
during the darkest times,
3027
02:22:18,322 --> 02:22:20,533
making sense of this crazy life
3028
02:22:20,616 --> 02:22:22,326
that's surely been a trip.
3029
02:22:23,244 --> 02:22:24,679
The Dandys are still doing their thing,
3030
02:22:24,703 --> 02:22:26,705
touring worldwide as well.
3031
02:22:26,789 --> 02:22:28,832
Here they are enjoying a sold-out show
3032
02:22:28,874 --> 02:22:30,251
in Sydney, Australia.
3033
02:22:30,334 --> 02:22:32,294
They've all got their side projects
3034
02:22:32,336 --> 02:22:34,880
and Zia's even become
a successful realtor.
3035
02:22:34,964 --> 02:22:37,758
Will she and Dean team up
or become rivals?
3036
02:22:38,592 --> 02:22:40,970
They're even still friends
with former drummer Eric,
3037
02:22:41,011 --> 02:22:42,346
who actually filled in for Brent
3038
02:22:42,429 --> 02:22:44,223
during a few recent gigs.
3039
02:22:44,348 --> 02:22:45,516
How civil
3040
02:22:45,599 --> 02:22:46,934
I'd expect nothing less
3041
02:22:47,017 --> 02:22:49,270
from the most well-adjusted
band in America.
3042
02:22:49,353 --> 02:22:51,146
We're the most well-adjusted
band in America.
3043
02:22:51,981 --> 02:22:53,691
And sad to say,
3044
02:22:53,732 --> 02:22:55,818
we're still the most dysfunctional.
3045
02:22:56,527 --> 02:23:01,198
Put down my guitar
Party's over, Captain Go!
3046
02:23:01,240 --> 02:23:05,578
This is what our trip
Down Under looked like. Ouch
3047
02:23:05,661 --> 02:23:08,372
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
3048
02:23:08,414 --> 02:23:10,499
just erupted into absolute cs.
3049
02:23:12,918 --> 02:23:16,839
Does this remind you
of anything? Déjà vu!
3050
02:23:16,922 --> 02:23:19,466
It's the Viper Room debacle
all over again,
3051
02:23:19,550 --> 02:23:23,429
but it's 27 years later
and we're all over 50.
3052
02:23:23,512 --> 02:23:25,639
Some things never change.
3053
02:23:25,723 --> 02:23:27,725
This time it made international news
3054
02:23:30,394 --> 02:23:34,064
And our longest tour
ever was canceled.
3055
02:23:35,899 --> 02:23:38,193
But perhaps the most amazing thing is,
3056
02:23:38,277 --> 02:23:40,321
that despite all the
debauchery and violence,
3057
02:23:40,404 --> 02:23:42,573
we're all still alive.
3058
02:23:42,656 --> 02:23:44,366
Well, almost all of us.
3059
02:23:44,450 --> 02:23:45,784
Sweet Sophie passed away
3060
02:23:45,868 --> 02:23:48,287
after contracting an infection
in the hospital
3061
02:23:48,370 --> 02:23:50,164
just ten days after giving birth
3062
02:23:50,247 --> 02:23:52,416
to her and George's baby boy.
3063
02:23:53,959 --> 02:23:57,254
# Now that you're not around #
3064
02:23:57,296 --> 02:23:59,214
But let me leave you on a positive note
3065
02:23:59,298 --> 02:24:00,549
and share a memory with you
3066
02:24:00,591 --> 02:24:02,801
that I still can't quite believe.
3067
02:24:02,843 --> 02:24:04,928
Before the tour ended tragically,
3068
02:24:04,970 --> 02:24:06,764
we played a gig with the Dandys
3069
02:24:06,805 --> 02:24:08,599
for the first time in ten years.
3070
02:24:08,682 --> 02:24:11,977
We reunited on stage, like the early days.
3071
02:24:12,811 --> 02:24:14,980
We let bygones be bygones
3072
02:24:15,022 --> 02:24:17,441
and returned to the love.
3073
02:24:20,319 --> 02:24:21,612
Dig!
3074
02:25:01,694 --> 02:25:04,863
# Hey, I said you're godless #
3075
02:25:04,905 --> 02:25:10,035
# And it seems like
you're a soulless friend #
3076
02:25:10,119 --> 02:25:13,872
# As thoughtless as you were back then #
3077
02:25:13,956 --> 02:25:19,545
# I swear that you are godless #
3078
02:25:21,130 --> 02:25:25,092
# Hey, I guess you're lonely when #
3079
02:25:25,175 --> 02:25:29,513
# I gave you all it took so then #
3080
02:25:29,555 --> 02:25:33,434
# Stranger than it's ever been #
3081
02:25:33,517 --> 02:25:38,939
# I guess it's what you wanted #
3082
02:26:14,391 --> 02:26:19,104
# Oh wait, it seems #
3083
02:26:19,146 --> 02:26:22,941
# That lonely I will be #
3084
02:26:23,025 --> 02:26:26,904
# I beg, I plead #
3085
02:26:26,945 --> 02:26:32,409
# But this is all that I have gotten #
