American Satan
(CROWD CHEERING)
(CROWD CHANTING)
Relentless!
Relentless! Relentless!
Relentless! Relentless!
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
Do you believe in the devil?
(STUTTERS)
I agreed to do this interview
to talk about music,
not religion.
INTERVIEWER:
I know you said itstarts 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
f***ing 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.
- 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
"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 f*** up your career.
- Oh, charming. Yeah, yeah.
- 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 f***ing sh*t though.
What the f*** 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.
Not until you make it out west
anyway.
Oh, come on.
Johnny, please promise us that you're
going to be responsible in Hollywood.
- Please?
- I promise.
Losing your mind
I promise when we blow up I'm
moving you out of this sh*t town.
(SIGHS) Okay.
Don't make me worry.
- Love you.
- Love you.
(SIGHS) Love you, guys.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Forgive me mother
For I have sinned
Some great riffs.
He's got a f***ing good voice.
You're just kidding about all that
stuff you've got going on, yeah?
- Hmm, no. No. (LAUGHS)
- No, we're not f***ing kidding, you twat.
So you mean to tell me
that you guys already have,
what, a full on record deal,
a booking agent, a manager
and a 62-day North American tour
lined up?
Wow! Someone's finally
paying attention.
It took a while, didn't it?
Bloody hell.
How'd you guys land all that?
Come on, mate, we're busy men.
Are you in or not?
Give me a few days to think
about it, yeah?
Oh. (SIGHS) Dear me. That's not
the right answer at all, is it?
No, I think, um, I think we're
gonna go with the other guy.
- RICKY:
I think he's a bit more...- Exactly. Just a little...
You know what? Yeah. Good luck.
- Should we just?
- We should just go.
- Just go? Just go. Just go?
- Because... No point in... Yeah. Yeah.
Nice to meet you, man.
Um, (CLICKS TONGUE) yeah.
F***. Hey, lads!
JOHNNY:
All right.
- A bottle of Jack and a bottle of Don Julio.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yes, sir.
- Hey, how you doing?
- Keep an eye on this stuff please.
- JOHNNY:
Yup.Hey, hey.
Could you watch my ax, too?
(CHUCKLES) Sure.
- What tune you all playing at?
- Oh, Drop D.
Drop D. I got it, okay. Okay.
- (HUMS, LAUGHS)
- JOHNNY:
All right. Let's do it.Wait. We gotta wait for this
f***ing guy with this guitar.
No sh*t. We're waiting for him?
I don't know where he is.
I can't just leave his sh*t.
It took you that long
to find booze? And an apple?
Boy, I don't waste my time
with that poison.
You think I collect cans and bottles
all day so I can buy some liquor?
- MAN:
Hey, hey, hey.- I'm just checking.
- All right.
- Kid, perception is not reality.
It's what you feel,
not what you see.
Sorry, man,
we didn't mean to judge you.
Don't get caught inside
the "Hollow wood."
- MAN:
What you feel!- Yeah.
- What you feel!
- Got it. Feeling it.
- All right, kid, let's get out.
- Apple? I feel like getting wasted.
- I feel it, too.
- Amen.
John 7:
24.Stop judging by mere appearances
and instead, judge correctly.
(CHUCKLES)
Can I show you boys around town?
All right, come on. What was it?
The Bible quote that put you off
or my body odor?
Be honest.
I don't believe in the Bible,
