and the four that backed me
played their parts

193
00:08:57,275 --> 00:09:00,104
There was Larry,
the front man made sideman
194
00:09:00,191 --> 00:09:01,671
choking his guitar neck
nightly
195
00:09:01,802 --> 00:09:03,891

intimate venues to induce
what Gen Snooze called FOMO.

They came for cosplay,

the Beautiful Unwell.

Well, that was boring.
- They seem to like it.

00:11:16,763 --> 00:11:18,547
- Harmonies on "Plastic Fiends"
were trash.

- He's right.

00:11:20,157 --> 00:11:21,419

Tune it up a step.

254
00:11:23,334 --> 00:11:25,685

I was feeling the guitar.

- Sign this.

as rehearsed and perfected.

- Your night in Corvallis.
- Ah.
265
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:45,879

that protects the band

273
00:11:59,849 --> 00:12:02,852
Our band shell was
Christine Claire.
274
00:12:02,939 --> 00:12:06,682
She hired, fired,
dictated, and castrated
275
00:12:06,769 --> 00:12:08,249

00:12:08,379 --> 00:12:09,859

out you go.

- So I'm going into my
vampire dressing room now.
284
00:12:24,744 --> 00:12:27,137
A little draining, both ways.
285
00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:28,748
You'll have to guess
who gets the fangs
286
00:12:28,835 --> 00:12:30,924
and who gets the vodka bottle.
287
00:12:31,011 --> 00:12:33,013
And yes, it's a vodka bottle.

- Did I mention that I was
filming a documentary
291
00:12:39,802 --> 00:12:41,761

292
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:44,024

But niche celebrity is

00:13:21,888 --> 00:13:23,106
the need for a body double.

Three inches shorter than
your velvet-mouth narrator,

we fit him for lifts,
blue eye contacts, and a wig
320
00:13:39,601 --> 00:13:42,386
and otherwise let him be
Neanderthal me.
321
00:13:42,473 --> 00:13:44,780
I hunted this way,
and we send him that way,
322

and every sad photograph
uploaded to Reddit or Discord

of Jarda eating
a tuna melt by himself
324
00:13:51,178 --> 00:13:54,572
only confirmed for most
what they already believed...

- Let's go!
326
00:13:56,139 --> 00:13:57,662
- That I, the Vampire Lestat,
327
00:13:57,749 --> 00:14:01,057
was Daniel Molloy's
fictitious creation,
328
00:14:01,144 --> 00:14:03,059
and The Vampire Lestat,
the band, was fronted
329
00:14:03,146 --> 00:14:06,454
by a bricklaying
karaoke fanatic from Ostrava,
330
00:14:06,584 --> 00:14:08,456
nothing but a desperate
cash grab at the end
331
00:14:08,543 --> 00:14:10,588
of a cheugy vampire fad.
332
00:14:10,675 --> 00:14:12,373
And I've only myself to blame
for the timing,
333
00:14:12,503 --> 00:14:14,027

334
00:14:14,157 --> 00:14:16,333
for a year-plus
perfecting our sound,
335
00:14:16,464 --> 00:14:19,684
a sound I hoped would counter
Mr. du Lac's portrayal of me
336
00:14:19,815 --> 00:14:22,600
as a mayonnaise villain
with sociopathic tendencies.

00:14:24,515 --> 00:14:26,778
All beside the point,
because the point was,
339
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,171
the point forever is...
340
00:14:28,302 --> 00:14:29,651
- I know you're real.
341
00:14:29,738 --> 00:14:32,436
- Most of humanity
moved on from vampires,
342
00:14:32,523 --> 00:14:33,785
and rather quickly.
343
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:36,092
Congratulations.
344
00:14:36,179 --> 00:14:38,486
Now go make friends.
345
00:14:38,573 --> 00:14:39,790
They lifted their heads
346
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:41,793
from their algorithmic
hand masters,
347
00:14:41,837 --> 00:14:45,972
uttered a collective "huh,"
and swiped left.
348
00:14:46,059 --> 00:14:48,583
I am the Vampire Lestat.
349
00:14:48,670 --> 00:14:50,498
I am a god.
350

Spotify some T. Rex

00:15:04,381 --> 00:15:06,644
and drag a little O neg
from Dr. Fareed-Good here,
