(STUTTERS) I agreed to do this interview
to talk about music, not religion.
INTERVIEWER: I know you said it starts and ends with the music,
but with The Relentless,
there was much more to their success than just their songs.
What about all the disturbing scenarios surrounding the band?
That's the duality of rock 'n' roll.
And what is that supposed to mean?
Dude, that riff is sick!
I mean, mate, I'm no Jimmy Page
but it's a pretty fucking sick riff,
-right? -Yeah.
-Is that a new song? -It will be.
Oh, hi, Ms. Spouse.
- Hi, Leo. - Shut up.
(BEEPS)
Are you sure you don't wanna try California just for the summer
and maybe move after you get your degree?
Mom, look, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, they both dropped out of school.
I'm just trying to keep the rhythm going.
Okay.
-(SCHOOL BUS HORN HONKING) -Oh, I gotta go anyway.
MOM: All right.
-All right, you have a good day. -Mm.
-All right. -All right.
-Love you, bye. -Love you, too, bye.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
Dude.
Five freaking days till we're living in L.A. It's finally happening, man.
Hell yeah.
(SIGHS)
We'll work through this long distance stuff.
I wouldn't chase my dreams if you weren't going to be with me in them forever, okay?
Okay.
-I love you. -I love you, too.
Hey, you got the new Eyes of Black?
Oh, this? Yeah, my mom got it for me.
Man, she rules.
My parents didn't let me listen to them till I was 18.
So when you guys make it big and Rolling Stone asks you,
"What do you want to change most in the world with The Relentless?"
What are you gonna say?
-I gotta finish the lyrics first. -(CHUCKLES)
(BELL TOLLING)
It's kind of twisted you waited this long to tell them, don't you think?
-What was their response? -You know, typical parental bullshit.
Make sure he's taking care of you,
make sure he gets the drummer on the plane.
-Make sure he doesn't fuck up your career. -Oh, charming. Yeah, yeah.
-(BAND PLAYING ROCK MUSIC) -Thank you.
Yeah, I heard he flew in from Australia or something.
All the way in for certain people.
-This is gonna be easy! -Yeah.
Woo! Are you ready?
Mate, you're an incredible drummer!
That's what they tell me, man.
Band's fucking shit though.
What the fuck did you just say?
Whoa. (LAUGHS) Hello, mate. How's it going?
I'm Ricky. This is Leo.
Can we, um, can we buy you a drink?
(BLUES MUSIC PLAYING)
WOMAN: Are you excited?
I'd be a lot more excited if you were coming with me.
No sex and drugs, just rock 'n' roll. Right?
No sex and drugs.

Oh, you know what, better yet let's get our booking agent

That's fucking daft, mate!
You're a roadie who's never been on the road before not a fucking manager!
Yeah? I managed to get you from some shitty little pub in England

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, look, just don't get all fucking cheesed off
if they don't book us. All right.
Yeah, no worries. We'll just get a new manager.
(LAUGHTER)
Oh, yeah. Ha, ha. That's a man's living you're joking about there.
These guys just canceled so in eight weeks,
I've got a show coming up that you guys would be great on.
RICKY: (STUTTERS) Fantastic. Just to confirm.
That does mean we've got the gig, isn't it?
-It sure does. -It sure does.
-RICKY: I knew it. -Yes!
Now you gotta do the work.
Oh, well, these lads are not scared of hard work. Are you, guys?
How much are we gonna get paid?
How much you get paid all depends on how many tickets you sell.
I just moved here from England. How am I supposed to sell any tickets?
It's been like this since the '80s, guys. No handouts.
Oh, I thought you liked our demo?
I do. It's totally a killer demo but I only gamble on headliners.
Okay. We'll take another stack.
I like your style.
Mind blown. Mind blown.
RICKY: Great. Well, pleasure doing business.
LEO: All right, Ricky, now's your time to shine, mate.
Book as many shows as you can in the local area
any time, any fucking shit hole. We'll play for free if we have to.
-Gotta get the word out. -Oh, dear me, that's the truth.
You heard the guy, the work starts here.
I gotta go to work. Give me some of those tickets now, I'm gonna sell some later.
Good idea. There we go.

With the ring in the nose.
And those little, little tatty tats. Yeah.
Got any other rings?
No? (LAUGHS)

I'll buy a fucking ticket.
Why don't you get down on your fucking knees and you pick them up?

Huh?

Be careful what you ask for.

This is Elias from Akkadian Records.
Hey. Hey, man. Um...
Thanks for coming to our show. I'm really sorry about our set.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, that was, that was amateur hour,
to say the least, but I listened to your demo late last night.
Look, these songs have real potential.
Can you guys come by my office today at 3:00 p.m. for a meeting?
-Yes. Yeah, man, absolutely. - All right, see you then.

ELIAS: Did you guys hear about what happened to Damien Collins?
LILY: What happened?
They found him dead,
deep in the valley, scary scene.
What?
It's crazy how karma works out, right?
(STUTTERS) What do you mean?
Well, two years ago, he's driving wasted, he killed two people,
Vince Neil style. (SIGHS)
I don't follow.
Well, I guess that's before you guys' time.
Vince Neil during the Shout at the Devil album cycle,
driving totally wasted to a liquor store,
crashed into another car.
The drummer from Hanoi Rocks died. He was riding shotgun.
The two people he hit, permanent brain damage.
Then what happened?
Then Vince pleaded guilty
and because he's the singer of Motley Crue,
got about two weeks jail time.
Huh. That's mental.
The same thing happened to Damien.
He barely did any jail time
because of his father, who's a very powerful lawyer,
a good guy to have in your back pocket if you get into any trouble.
But, hey, let's talk about the deal.
Any of you guys on hard drugs?
No. Smoke a little pot, drink.
Any of you romantically involved with, uh,
Lily?
-I'm not a fucking cliché, Christ. -(CHUCKLES)
All right, you guys got a manager?
Yeah, we have. Of course.
Just have absolutely no idea where he is right now.
Wow. Well... (GROANS)
He picked a hell of a time to miss a meeting.
I'm offering you $200,000 advance.

Cool.

you should just take a chunk of the money

was involved in a brutal bar fight that left one man dead

The record label has posted the $1.5 million bail
for the singer, Johnny Faust.
How do you feel
about the release of The American Satan?
It's American Satan, not The American Satan,

this band is sending?
Sir, have you listened to the record
or even read the lyrics?
-I have not, but it-- -I see.
But it seems that there is no shame
in the death of a--
That was self-defense.
And, uh, very unfortunately,
there was a death.
But if someone physically attacks someone else,
that is a risk that they take.
I guess now it's up to a jury to decide
if it was self-defense or not.
Oh, yeah. (CHUCKLES) Yes, that is the process.

The stand your ground epidemic is being directly linked
-to a rock 'n' roll group called... -The Relentless.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
A rock band called The Relentless and their debut album...
American Satan.
(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
Hundreds of cases in 27 different states
have already been reported as of this morning.
We've seen incidents here in Sydney...
Manaus, Sao Paulo.
Guadalajara, Monterrey.
-(SPEAKING JAPANESE) -(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
-Tel Aviv. -And Berlin.
This continues the debate on how far
one can go in self-defense.
REPORTER: One thing is certain, the power of music
appears to be stronger than ever.
(CHUCKLES) How are you feeling, boys?
-We have to stop the killing. -Well, there's no turning back now.
We're changing the world, and you are our mascot.
How come no other bands had to do anything so fucking insane?
Look, sanity.
It's all relative to the times in which we live.
You know, in 1967,
we put Aleister Crowley on the front of Sgt. Pepper's
we wrote underneath it, "Welcome The Rolling Stones!"
Ha! Aleister Crowley!
The old sorcerer himself.
Back then,
that was beyond fucking insane!
And then six months later, The Stones put out their album.
Their Satanic Majesties Request.
And on it, on the front cover,
they had hidden The Beatles faces.
If I'd have told Zeppelin in the late '60s
what was going on with Apple in the world today,
they'd think I was a raving loony.
How the fuck do we even know that you're real?
And what, what the fuck does this have to do with Apple?
We have a skeptic amongst us, huh?
All right, Leo.
Look up the official price of the first Apple computer.
It was $666.
Yeah. Six hundred and sixty-six, really?
Yeah. Yeah.
The forbidden fruit with a big bite taken out of it.
What a great logo.
And what about the first three numbers
of the zip code of Topeka, Kansas.
Where I made you guys icons.
666.
-Holy shit. -(CAPRICORN CHUCKLING)
I'd rather call it unholy shit.
So, Johnny, when are you gonna actually tell Lily
the truth about this band?
After you fuck her again?
-CAPRICORN: Oh, ooh, sorry. -Oh, fuck.
Did I put my foot in it? I'm so sorry.
You didn't know the lead singer
had a little bit of news for you?
Oh. It's amazing, isn't it, Johnny?
That you can't keep a promise either to me or to Gretchen!
Come and face the music!
How do you know he had sex with Lily?
The same way I know
that Ricky is lying prone
on that stage.
And let me tell you
the one cardinal sin in my book:
stupidity.

-Mom? Mom? -(DOOR CLOSES)
I'm up here, Johnny.
Mom, I need you to call Gretchen. She won't answer me.
She was here this morning.
Did you really cheat on her?
-She was here, in the house? -Mm-hmm.
Yeah, she wanted to surprise you.
She transferred to UCLA.
-Why would you do something so stupid, huh? -(SOBS)
Gretchen is such a special girl,

Lily, let's start with you.
Are you for or against what some of your fans seem to be doing?
We didn't respond to 9/11 with peace and prayer.
We responded by doing everything we could
to stop those people from hurting us again.
That's what our fans are doing to their predators. In self-defense.
Right. So, uh, Vic,
uh, how do you feel about the violence?
You agree with Lily
on what's going on with (STUTTERS) your fans?
(STUTTERS) I, uh, I-I think
what is happening is a, um,
is a reflection of our culture.
And where we are as a society.
It's both fascinating and scary. The power of music.
So that means that you agree or disagree?
Well, there are more dimensions to our consciousness
that need to be healed and explored.
I believe in not everything you say is a, um, yes or a no,
or right or a wrong answer.
Um, thank you. I'm gonna go lay down now.
I'd like to go lie down myself.
Not really sure what I'm supposed to do or say at this point.
(SNIFFLES)
Nothin' I say up here's gonna bring back my best friend.
(SNIFFLES) Nothing's gonna help make any sense of what's happened.
Thank you for all the laughs. For all the smiles...
(SNIFFLES)
Thank you for believing in me
(SNIFFLES) and encouraging me to follow my dreams.
(SOBBING)
You're forever in our hearts, Ricky.
In honor of Ricky, I say we keep this train rolling
full speed ahead.
You know it's exactly what he would've wanted.
Yeah, I reckon so.
Good. It's time for our world tour.
You're icons now.
The controversy, the sex, the fame, the power,
it's all part of the ride.
Don't get lost in it.
And lay off the fuckin' drugs.
Are you ready to embrace it?

Now the most iconic singer in rock music today.
Who was the man he shot onstage?
It was an act.
An act?
It's show business.
In the studio, I'm with guitarist, Leo Donovan,
and bassist, Lily Mayflower, of The Relentless.
First question, your singer Johnny keeps mentioning the devil.
Is this just sensationalism?
Everything Johnny has said is true,
but we can't exactly sit here and talk about
a physical version of the devil, can we, Larry?
People will think we've gone crazy.
In music, the devil you see on album covers and T-shirts,
it's symbolism for the counterculture.
So then what's the real devil?
The voice inside our head that makes us do bad things without remorse.
Says whatever it takes to get what it wants.
And the man who was supposedly shot on stage,
what was that?
That was a great way to sell records.
An unidentified man... I wanna get this right.
An unidentified, mentally unstable person
comes on stage, wields a gun at him.
A good attorney could argue self-defense,
but he's refusing legal counsel.
Does he want freedom? Does he want to play music again?

that would get Johnny back onstage.
