You hear that?

I hear the rooster still sleeping.

Chicken is smarter than we are.

That's cause you don't...

shut up long enough to hear it.

What are we listening for?

Music...

Ya know this place is alive with it.

Does Snoring count?

You're a wuss. Give it here.

You got one?

Hero.

Hero. OK.

That's Hero?

There's more than one kind of hero, right?

But... how do you come up with it so fast?

You know, everything's got a song, Ya know?

You just gotta feelin it.

Cool.

How 'bout Cool?

We already did cool.

There's only one kind of cool?

Well, what was wrong with my last one?

It's just like talking.

There's always more than one way to say something.

So if you're gonna say it, ya gotta say it with style.

OK, OK, fine.

I got one.

OK?

Here it goes...

Not bad. But you know, you're rushing it again.

Agh....

Cool takes its time.

It's about the journey, not the destination.

You suck.

OK.

How about sunrise?

How about you wait for it?

No, I mean PLAY sunrise.

Oh, Okay.

Still no green friggin' flash.

I wish I was on that plane.

You don't even know where it's going.

It's about the journey, not the destination!

Well, if I gotta fly there, I probably don't want to go.

Well, it's going away from here.

I don't have a problem with the journey

just as long as it stays on solid ground.

Don't look now,

but the tiny truant officer is on her way over here.

- Hey Squirt! - You miss the bus?

Nope. I'm walking today.

Figured you guys would be out here.

Yup, you found us.

Well, have a nice walk to school.

Aren't you guys coming?

Oh we'd love to Jane,

But we're just swamped with creativity...

and won't have time for it today.

Oh, now you're talkin.

Let's see what we got today.

And you're listening to WROQ

Home of the hits!

Hey, that's got really good reception...

for such a little radio.

Well it should, I just put new batteries in it.

Come on Dave!

Dude!

Dave! Hey! Dave!

Dude! You're gonna cause a stampede!

Dude! It's almost showtime!

Oh man. Dad?

What do you think I came out here for?

You boys get going.

Thanks Dad.

Hey, your mother wants you back by midnight.

What do you say?

Just be back by four thirty.

These cows won't milk themselves.

Dave!

What?

- How many times dude? - Come on!

This is better out here.

Yeah, no distractions.

Just the music.

Elbow room.

OK, lift me up.

That's where I want to be man.

Think those guys are happy?

I think they're hungry.

Hungry moves you forward.

Happy moves you in with your parents.

Well not everyone has to have a mansion with

bimbos around the pool.

Yeah, well someone's got to do it,

might as well be us.

It's not a very stable profession though.

Dude, they make millions.

That's not enough stability for you?

Yeah, but when they start paying you for it.

It stops being fun.

Yeah, well, from where I was standing they were

making the best of it.

You can't even start a family when you're

on tour all the time.

See, that's where you're wrong.

I'm pretty sure they got families started

all over the world.

Yeah, you know what I mean though.

Yeah, but I don't know why.

What's wrong with playing our songs?

Nothing. It's just that no one is listening.

Oh, so you'd rather be in a cover band?

Hell no.

I'd rather play for people instead of livestock. OK?

I...We've never really given our music a chance.

I think the cows like it.

If a song rocks in a barn and no one's there to hear it

did the song ever really rock?

Profound.

Don't look now, but the tiny miss truant officer is here.

Uh... is she still bangin that guy from the bank?

Just give it a rest man.

- Hey guys. - Hey squirt.

Janie.

Did you guys know about this?

Battle of the bands.

Uh, thanks.

That's not really for us though.

Actually, we were just talking about this.

I just thought it would be a good opportunity for you guys.

Yeah, we don't really play competitively so...

What my friend here means is that he's a loser.

I'm not a loser!

Dude! This is a chance for us to have someone besides

Bessie hear our songs.

Uh oh. Did I strike a nerve?

No, he's just scared, that's all.

I'm not scared!

I- I- I just don't believe you can judge

one song against another and say

"these notes are better than those notes."

Fine! Then let's just do it for the experience.

Let's just not.

What happened to Mr. "It's All About The Journey"?

Now we're shunning new life experiences?

We can't cause we don't have a singer.

Or a drummer.

Janie can drum, right?

No way!

Sing?

I can't sing.

- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah! - Me? No, I can't sing.

Come on Jane!

Uh...You'd make a great front man.

No you guys. I cannot sing.

I don't sing! I'm tone deaf.

I dont' even sing in the shower.

Look, if you'll sing for us,

I'll agree to do this stupid competition.

Really?

Yup.

- Nope, just forget it. - Forget I said anything.

No, no, no.

You have to sing with us.

No! If I show up to the bank late again they'll fire me.

Fine. You're gonna have to kill me first.

If that's how you want it.

No more romantic walks on the beach together.

In your dreams.

Alright, don't let that tough talk fool you.

She wants me.

Eric, I really have to go.

It's strangely relaxing down here.

Hey, if I fall asleep will you wake me up for supper?

Look...

I personally don't care if you run him over,

but you'll need to find me a new mechanic.

- OK, fine. - I'll sing with you guys.

Are you happy?

Are we happy?

We are happy!!

We are so happy!

Yes!

Tomorrow.

I tried to tell you guys, but Noooo...

Janie, wait!

Let me go.

You were not that bad.

Don't lie.

Seriously, she was... she was good, wasn't she?

Come on! With a little practice...

OK, Janie, Janie Ok, wait.

What if you were like...

...the band leader?

The conductor?

No, I mean like, the brains of the group.

You mean a manager?

You mean like a group?

Yeah, I guess that's what I mean.

I'll think about it.

Whoo!!!!

OK, if you're going to do battle of the bands,

the first thing you'll need is...a band.

Wait, I didn't agree to do the battle of the bands.

You said that if Jane sang with us you'd do it.

But she's not singing with us.

But that's not what you said.

You said that if she "SANG" with us - and she did.

Did that qualify as singing?

See? This is why you need me.

Because left to your own devices, this is exactly

the kind of trouble you'd get yourself into.

Just this one show?

That was the deal.

You're going to need new guitars.

Whoa, whoa...

What's... what's wrong with my guitar?

Besides the fact that it's falling apart,

the woods warped and it smells like... you?

Nothing's wrong with it.

But it's never going to be heard over the drums.

Sooooo... where do we start?

Why do I have to be the bass player?

Don't make me answer that.

Guys?

I'd like you to meet Singer Jerry and Drummer Nate.

Singer Jerry, Drummer Nate.

Hey.

This place needs an air freshener.

Do you smell something?

Smells like a music farm.

You're rushing!

You're rushing!!! Dang!

♪ Talk is cheap.

♪ But, time is money.

♪ Hey honey, got a whole lot of nothing to say. ♪

Guys?

I'd like you to meet Mark and Kevin.

Hey.

Niiiice jacket.

What's wrong with my jacket?

Ahhh - nothing.

It's just that all that leather makes the girls nervous.

You girls are milkers, aren't you?

Yes you are!

I don't know.

I thought the singer was ok.

Are you kidding?

He needs a separate tour bus for that ego.

I didn't know we were autitioning their

personalities too.

Dude, would you want to spend 12 hours a day with him?

Well if that's our criteria -

I don't know if I want to spend 12 hours a day with you either.

Guys, this is Donny.

He's a drummer.

Hey Man. Welcome to the Music Farm.

And the singer?

He couldn't make it.

He had to take his girlfriend to the clinic.

Look, ah, why don't you just sing for now,

so we can hear Don?

Why me? Why not you?

Because I'm busy over here.

I've got 2 more strings than you do.

This is a shuffle. Keep it in the pocket.

Groove at about 88 beats a minute.

Alright.

Let's give it a shot.

Whoa!!!

Right after that, and then ease into it.

- Yes, exactly. - That's exactly it.

But you're hitting the a chord, right?

It's so simple.

Oh, you got some mail from WROQ FM.

It looks like junk mail though. I'll just throw it away.

No! Hey! Wait!

Read it.

Well, if you insist.

Aloud?

Oh, it says, "Thank you for your recent

audio submission to the WROQ Battle of the Bands."

"All of us here at WROQ would like to congratulate you..."

Yes! Guys! We're in the battle of the bands!

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy!

Guys, now we need a name now that we're in the

Battle of the Bands.

How about Music Farm?

I still don't know what was wrong with "Bangin Molly".

Dude, my mom is coming to the show.

I am not managing a band that calls themselves "Bangin Molly".

Besides, I already put down a name on the submission form.

- Oh no... - Well then, who are we?

"The Rockness Monster".

- The Rock... - The Rockness Monster?

- The Rockness Monster. - Cool.

- OK, yeah, fine. Awesome. - We're the Rockness Monster.

You are a cockless Monster.

WHOO

Good job!

They were rockin out to the beat...

The crowd was totally with us at the end.

Absolutely!

All right, the judges have finally made a decision -

- and the 1999 WROQ Home of the Hits

Battle of the Bands winner is... Baaaaaaaaad Oskar!

Got everything?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Hey, you OK?

Come here.

You are great.

I never should have let you guys talk me into this.

You had a great show!

We lost.

I thought you didn't believe in artistic competition.

That these notes are better than those notes, remember?

This was a chance for you to play infront of real people.

Besides, you've got more talent in that pinky

than the rest of this inbred mob combined.

Come on. I'll buy you a pop.

...as your manager.

Hey Squirt, what are you doing here?

Jane here has something to tell us

and she wouldn't tell me without you here.

OK, I got a phone call this morning.

Do you know who the father is?

Shut up!

OK, if this is about the battle of the bands,

I told you that was a one shot deal.

I know what you told me.

And that was it.

Dude, just let her finish.

Who called?

Tomi Sullivan.

WROQ Tomi Sullivan?

Home of the Hits?

WROQ Home of the Hits Tomi Sullivan.

What did he say?

Dude - shhhhh...

He said there was a guy there last night: Simon.

He's an A & R guy from Myriad Records who saw you -

- and apparently he liked what he saw.

W....what does that mean?

It means he wants to talk to you.

Yeah, about what?

About your music, stupid.

This is it!

It's just a meeting.

We're gonna be famous!

We're going to Myriad Records!

No no no no - Dude! Dude!

Oh Oh!

Hi. We're here to see Simon Weinrieb?

Go ahead on in.

Listen to me...

Nobody's going to want to buy music off of their

computers anyway.

No... No, besides,

once Y2k comes through and blows everybody up,

you wont' have to worry about it will you?

...yeah...

...you just worry about

getting those jerk-offs out of Columbia, alright?

Well no, I can't replace the whole band.

...well. I can, just not on such short notice.

...yeah...

No, just... you figure it out.

Make em an offer they can't refuse.

There you go.

Yeah, you read my mind.

Hey, ah ah - I don't want to know about it.

Just deal with it.

Thank-you.

Sorry about that.

So, you must be the group from the battle of the bands

the other night.

- That's right. - The Rockness Monster.

OK.

I'm Jane Taylor - we spoke on the phone?

Mmm Hmm.

And this is Eric Vandenberg and our guitarist Dave Schultz.

Well, I'm not going to lie to you.

Though you're extremely rough around the edges -

I have to admit you showed promise.

What other kind of material do you have?

Lots of stuff.

Great. Like what?

...like, well... nothing recorded.

Well you had to submit a recording...

to be a part of the show.

Oh, well we recorded that for the application.

Oh, I see. All right.

Well, Good luck with the band guys!

Alright?

Be sure to bring me some material when you get it down.

Thanks a lot for coming in.

Hey, make sure you grab a Myriad pen

from Laura on your way out. Alright?

Take Care!

Why did you tell him we don't have anything recorded?

Because we don't.

Well he doesn't know that.

Yeah, I noticed you had a lot of great ideas in there.

OK, relax guys. It's not like we have anything else written.

- Oh, hey guys. - You're still here.

Had to get pens from Laura.

I have a bit of a situation...

I've booked out Bell Sound Studios

but now INS won't let my group back into the states.

And it's too late to get my deposit back, so uh...

You want to record me an EP?

An EP?

An "Extended Play" -

four of your most radio-friendly tracks.

When?

Tomorrow. 9 am.

Yeah, ok, sure.

Great. Here's the address.

Laura, hook these guys up with some pens!

Janie, what were you thinking? We don't have 4 songs.

He doesn't know that!

Uh Oh...

Burrrr!!

Oh yeah

I want you.

I want you too...

You missed it.

I checked the forecast.

There's suppose to be another sunrise tomorrow.

Nah, the green friggin' flash.

You serious?

No.

Sorry I was late.

I know why you were late.

You been checking up on me?

You were milkin the cow.

Dude, are you angry?

I just need you to keep your head in the game.

Alright? This is my chance.

If you're not going to do it for yourself, at least do it for me.

My head IS in the game.

Sorry.

Sorry's not good enough.

I got a new song for you.

It's a start.

Come on, I don't want to be late.

OK fellas, I got a feed off the board out to your cans -

- so let me know if you're hot enough in the mix.

If you muff a take, just keep going.

We're 48/24 bit nonlinear -

- so we'll just punch it in after we lay down the scratch.

Easy Peasy.

Here's 2 bars of click and then you're in.

Everything OK?

Um... What's a click?

Hey!

Hey.

How'd it go?

Uhh... It got better.

Can't wait to hear it.

How was the bank?

Fridays are always crazy.

I wanted to be in the studio.

Look, I, uh, I just wanted to say...

This isn't right.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, um, it can't happen again though.

It won't happen again.

We just got caught up in the moment.

Yeah, it was stupid.

Really stupid.

This is it.

No more.

Maybe he got the time wrong.

He know's what time we're recording.

This is important to him.

Maybe your manager has him doing something else.

Oooh, maybe that something else IS our manager.

Getting loco with Yoko.

Hey Eric, if she breaks us up,

You want to join my Rockness Monster Tribute band?

Shut it.

What? We already know all the songs.

- Dude! - I don't want to hear it.

Don't talk about him like that around me.

You're the one who said he was an asshole.

- He is an asshole. - But he's my asshole.

And I don't want you talking about him

like that behind his back.

Speak of the asshole.

Sorry I'm late.

Let's just get down to business.

Gimme a word for this one?

- Naughty. - You feeling it?

♪ It was the dawn of time in a distant land. ♪

♪ God took some dirt and made a man ♪

♪ And laid him in the shade of paradise. ♪

♪ Evil came and laid the blame on Eve ♪

♪ they ate the fruits of sin and both had to leave. ♪

♪ Control is achieved when you're told to believe ♪

♪ In naughty and nice.

♪ All in one day's work of Risky Business. ♪

♪ You pay the price.

- What does that mean? - Not commercial enough?

- Those are Simon's words. - Not mine.

He just said he needs a band thats more commercial.

Well what do you think I should tell the guys?

That Eric needs to stop working out his

personal issues in your music.

Whatever happens between Eric and me is between Eric and me.

OK, I'm sorry. I was just -

Not anyone else.

Got it.

If I were him, I'd feel the same way.

Angry?

He's not angry. He's jealous.

This corn needs some rain.

How can he not like it?

He didn't say that.

He just said that he needed something more commercial.

What does that mean?

It means he's pulling the plug, I'm sorry guys.

Just like that?

He can't do that, we...

It's his money.

OK, just, wait. Wait.

I think I have a lick that we can build something around.

Just...check it out real quick.

Then?

That's it. Thats all I got.

But, It's a little short.

What's the word?

Airplay.

Radio

Radio.

OK, what key are you in?

A

Alright.

Um...

OK, try going down to the G for the first phrase -

- and then play it again but stay on the A.

Play it in a shuffle.

Hey guys -

All due respect, but if Simon's out -

I'll pay you.

You don't know how much I cost.

- Just, please. - I'll pay you. OK?

It still needs something.

What about adding in some keys?

This is rock and roll, squirt.

I thought you wanted something that sounded commercial.

Even so, where are we going to find a keyboard player at

5 in the morning?

You both can play.

Come on you guys. This is just for the recording.

You guys want to call it a weekend?

Maybe work this out later?

We don't have a song yet.

Maybe get some sleep and hit it again when you're fresh.

We need something in the can now.

OK.

From the top again.

How's your voice holding up?

I'm fine.

You wanna lay down some keys?

Yeah, let's do this.

OK, from the top.

Good Luck with that.

I want Simon to hear this today, man.

I want him to hear it as soon as he gets to work.

I want him to hear it on his way to work.

I wanna go to bed.

They can stay in Colombia for all I care.

No, I... You know what?

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm not paid to babysit.

No. No, they're big boys.

They can take care of themselves.

No, I'm not going to have this conversation.

I'll talk to you later. OK? Bye.

Good Morning again!

- There you go. - Keep the change.

Uh, you got that other fifty cents?

Gonna be a dollar fifty.

Oh.

There. Can I get some sugar?

Yeah, no problem.

You're listening to WROQ

Home of the Hits.

And I'm Tomi Sullivan saying...

Thank You for bringing us along on your morning commute.

I've got a hot new track here

by an explosive new band -

-called The Rockness Monster!

And you can tell all your friends you heard it here first!

Ahh... Goddamit!

on WROQ Home of the hits.

This is Radio America!

Why do you get a CD and I don't?

I didn't.

Jane got the only CD.

Then what's this?

That's the radio.

That's our song.

On the Home of the Hits!

♪ Turn it in.

♪ To the number on the dial to take you past the din. ♪

♪ of a static haze, to a distant glow- ♪

♪ -Center stage. Front row-

♪ - an electric resurrection on a stereo beam. ♪

♪ Breathes the breath of life to broadcast dreams. ♪

♪ It's a heavenly sound. A hell of a show. ♪

♪ I hear the voice of the man in my radio say: ♪

♪ Welcome to Radio America!

♪ Radio America! This is my Radio America! ♪

We just did that and now it's on the radio!

♪ Radio America!

I find it unconscionable that somebody...

took MY recording -

That I paid for and broadcast it without my consent.

Look Simon, I'm just-

Not interested in excuses.

I almost lost my job over this morning's little broadcast.

Our agreement was suppose to be just between us.

However, when my executives found out about it,

they pulled the plug on your EP.

- What? We didn't... - We didn't do anything -

- Look, I'm sorry. - It's out of my hands.

It wasn't my decision.

You see, when the numbers came back

from this morning's broadcast-

-they informed me that you'd be making a full album.

What?!?

...Awesome!

So, here's how it's going to work.

We need 9 more songs mastered and ready for press -

- by the end of the month.

Uh, that's impossible.

Oh really?

Because we have other bands that don't think so.

Now, we need to fix your name.

Hold on, what's wrong with our name?

Rockness Monster?

THE Rockness Monster.

It's a great name.

- It didn't test well. - It's too long.

We're shortening it to Monster.

I don't get it.

Wait a minute, what about Bangin' -

Your band name is Monster.

Now you need a logo.

We've got a logo.

It needs to say Monster.

It says Monster.

Keep it simple.

I'll get it to you.

Good.

Now, when you are finished cutting your album

we need to get your live chops up to speed.

Live chops?

You're going on tour next month.

We're going on tour?

See, the opening act for Sugar Kane is going to be-

- tied up out of the country for a little while

working out some legal issues.

So... You're the new opening act to Sugar Kane.

- Are you kidding me? - Oh my...Yes!

Uh... Do we have to fly?

Relax. You're the opening act.

You get a bus.

Now, the dapper gentleman standing behind me -

- is known througut the industry as English Joe.

English Joe will be your tour manager.

Gents!

We've already got a manager.

Dave -

Yes, of course.

Um, Joe will be managing you while you're on tour.

That's what Joe here does.

He is a Tour Manager.

You understand, yes?

Yeah. Yeah sure.

I just want what's best for the guys.

But, um, see...

It's OK Dave.

Now I've arranged for a session player

to be shipped out from Los Angeles-

-to play keys with you on your tour.

You're adding somebody to the band?

No, I'm adding somebody to the tour.

Alright, well, lots to do...

- so I will leave you to it.

Oh, one more thing...

If you get any new song in the can-

-I'd very much like to be the first to hear them.

Right.

Of course.

Alright.

Well... Best of luck boys!

- All right chaps! - Noses to the grindstone.

Does this mean I gotta cancel my unemployment?

Touch up his makeup.

I don't know,

he's just standing there!

Come on! Loosen up!

Like this.

That's why I'm in the band.

- Loosen up! - I don't dance!

Come on, you can do it.

There you go.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dancin Dave!

Ok, good morning boys n' girls.

Listen If you're just tuning in,

I've already played Radio America.

So please, please for the love of god...

That was bangin!

Molly?

Nice Dave.

You wanna lay down some vocals for that?

I got nothing.

Yeah, maybe we'll just leave it as an instrumental.

You know that was nice David.

And it would be perfect if you guys were a chick band.

However, it's imperative to find a sound for

Monster that we can brand.

What does imperative mean?

That means that if there is no Monster sound -

- there will be no Monster fans -

- ergo no Monster act -

- because you failed to produce a Monster profit.

If the music is good, people will listen to it regardless.

Well if only that were true, Green Day would still

be a garage band.

The fact is, we educate the people -

- to let them know what they do like.

It's called marketing, gentlemen.

Speaking of which, where is you logo?

Why don't I have it yet?

Janie's got it.

Well you tell her if she doesn't get it to me -

- I'm going to have to have the boys down in the-

-art department slap something together.

We've got to have something to print -

- on your T-Shirts and merchandising crap.

Look, she's on it, we've been a bit busy with the music.

Just get me something I can market.

OK Guys, It's cool.

Let's hold onto this one for now and move on to something else.

He just wants 9 variations of Radio America.

I can still hear you.

♪ Radio America

Just mark it Eric.

Don't blow out your voice in rehearsal.

I'd like you all to meet your new keyboard player. Bill.

You Simon's guy?

Well, I wasn't his first pick.

I like him already.

Oh, uh, why don't you gents take 5 and get to know each other.

Dave!

Hey! How's it sounding?

- Great mate. Just great. - The thing is...

...so does the album.

This is about the show.

OK. So...

So, the more the birds want to sex you -

- the more they'll go home and sex their men.

Birds?

The ladies mate!

And then the next day, for some crazy reason -

- they're both in a great mood and they want to -

- go home and buy your music.

So you gotta sex em up from up here.

OK, so you want me to...

It's a show! Ya know?

A show.

They want a show!

And Showbusiness IS the business -

- of giving the people what they want.

So, um, sex em?

Now you're getting it!

Donny!! It's his first day!

So what was that about?

I think English Joe wants to be my pimp.

Feelin tops mate?

Tops.

JOE; Thirty thousand's not a bad crowd for your first night out.

Uh,if you don't mind me sayin, you, uh, look a bit crook.

Joe, about a month ago I played in a dive bar.

That was my biggest crowd.

How do they do it?

Different blokes deal differently.

You know, some of them go for meditation...

...deep breathing...

...visualization, calisthenics...

Guy from Bigfoot eats brussel sprouts.

Brussel sprouts?

Yeah! Can't do a show without 'em,

Almost had to cancel the show in Brussels.

Who knew they didn't have brussel sprouts in Brussels?

Bloody winter vegtables.

I hate brussel sprouts.

Uhh.. Now in a crisis -

And only if nothing else works,

I carry a few of these.

Help bring that roar out there down to a gentle thunder.

What are these?

Little white pills.

I guess this qualifies as a crisis.

Hey! Ah drink lots of water with that.

Right. Thanks.

Joe! How are my boys doing?

Tops, mate. Tops.

How do you always know what I like to hear?

Janie!

Hey Simon!

Wow, huh?

- Wow is right. - You look fantastic!

Ugh, I can't believe how nervous I am.

I mean, that's silly right? It's not even my show.

Oh don't kid yourself.

This is very much your show.

You got these guys to where they are today.

I helped.

Oh, and that logo looks awesome sweetheart.

You did a hell of a job.

Thanks Simon.

Well you're an amazing woman, Jane.

With a woman like you I could conquer the world.

I mean, any man could.

Oh well, thanks I guess.

So, what are your plans for the tour?

You know, support the guys.

Absolutely!

You know, I was just thinking how the guys

could best be supported.

Especially Dave.

He likes you a lot, I can see that.

Yeah, I know.

It's just that... this is his one shot at that brass ring.

I just hope that he can stay focused.

Oh yeah, I'm right there with you.

He really wants this.

I just wouldn't want him to get distracted.

Me neither.

Good, I'm glad to hear you say that.

'Cause I think couples can really

distract each other on the road.

Really?

Aw yeah, I've seen it a thousand times.

You know, the off stage partner -

- starts feeling like an insignificant other.

Jealousy. Selfishness.

It's ugly, really.

Wow, that's...

I don't even know why I'm telling you this.

Obviously, we both want what's best for Dave.

I mean, I want what's best for both of you.

Well...

Have a great show Jane.

Um, thanks.

Hi Jane!

Hi Janie!

Hey there!

- Hey yourself! - How you doing?

- Uh... a little shakey. - But...

You're going to be fine.

Ya, I just don't know how to play this shakey -

- to twenty thousand people.

I heard it's more like thirty thousand.

Eric!

What?

You're not helping!

Nervous?

No.

You?

A little.

I just can't wrap my mind around -

- thirty thousand people here to see us.

Dude, they're not here for us.

They're here for the music.

Right. The music.

Thanks.

Let's go kick some ass!

Um Hm!

What kind of dick writes on their friends?

Well at least I didn't write on my friend's dick.

I don't think. I mean... did I?

No. No.

My head is killing me.

Yeah? My back's killing me.

Hey, who's this guy gotta blow to get some

room service around here?

I see you boys are assimilating to prison life quickly.

Out you come.

No, wait Joe, we like it here.

All good things must end.

- The food's fantastic. - Have you tried the veal?

Really good.

Bye Ken.

Get outta here.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Not you.

We're gonna have our own world tour...

and it's gonna be like, um...

Hello Portland.

You're in Washington.

D.C.?

Nooo, State.

Guess you're all here for an encore.

Showbusiness IS the business

of giving the people what they want.

Hey!!!

No, you know how it is. I can't hear myself think.

Uh, yeah! D.C. We're uh...

We're gonna to go see some monuments in the morning.

Yeah, he probably just, uh,

turned it off when he was going to sleep.

You want me to wake him up for you?

All right Janie. I'll let him know you called.

G'night.

Who was that?

Uh, damn telemarketers again.

So I finally got you that cock enlarger.

Are you sure he won't wake up?

Haven't you noticed?

Joe is practically narcoleptic when he drinks.

Good thing he's not driving the bus!

Hey, throw me the tape.

OK, give me the bullhorn.

You better hope he doesn't have a heart condition or something.

What are you guys doing?

Oh my god!

Shhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Hey Jane!

What are you doing here?

Shut up!

What are you doing here?

I came to see you guys, duh!

Oh really? The both of us?

The band, you moron.

I took some vacation time.

How'd you find us?

The tour schedule??

I probably know where you guys are more than

you idiots do.

Shhhh!

Do you know what room Dave's in?

No clue.

I do. He's in 1919 - like the song.

Hey, you wanna see something funny?

Not really.

Gimme the bullhorn.

Go for it.

Excuse me, I'm sorry -

- do you know where the band is staying?

Oh my god, you're like totally missing it!

There in here, come on!

Oh, I mean Monster, not Sugar Kane.

Yeah, totally!

Sugar Kane's like not even back from the show yet.

Go on!

Jane!!

Hey, look, Janie...

It's not what you think.

No?

Cause I assumed you were doing homework for a

course in gynecology.

But maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions.

OK, Jane...

Janie, just don't be that way.

Then why don't you tell me what way I should be? Dave.

Just... look, I...

Janie, I didn't know.

- I didn't know either. - Goodbye Dave.

Hey Mate!

Whatcha listening to?

What is that crap?

You never listened to jazz?

Not on purpose Mate.

What's your favorite food?

All of it.

What does that have to do with anything?

Well if you had to pick just one kind?

I don't know, I like Morrocan food.

Would you eat that every day?

Might get a little monotonous, don't you think?

Yeah. I do.

Man, you're out there.

- Way to go guys.

Hey man, you're missing the jam.

Actually, I don't miss it at all.

What's wrong?

You love playing more than anything.

Yeah, once they start paying you for it...

...it's no longer playing.

Fine. I'll take your cut and you can play for free again.

Ahhhh...

Mail call gentlemen!

Who get's mail today?

The only kind of mail I want is female.

Ah, well here's one for you Bill.

It's from the, uh, Small Penis Society.

Ha, must be my rejection letter.

Ah, here's one for our very own Dancin' Dave.

- Is it her? - What'd she say?

How do you want me to sing this?

What do you mean?

Gimme a word.

Regret.

Dude, is this a sad song?

What's the point?

Yeah, well you can't just validate

the happy emotions, right?

Pretty sure you can.

You'll miss out on half your life.

You don't have to write a song about it.

Well sometimes you have to make sense of the pain.

Just to turn it into something beautiful.

Sugar Kane!

- Hey Man! - A Hell of a show guys.

Thanks dude!!

It's nothing like the killer show you guys put on.

Hey!

What's with the long face, David?

Well I couldn't even hear myself play out there.

Sorry about that.

I'll have Kyle crank up the monitors in Denver.

No, it's not the monitors.

Can't blame the fans, Mate.

They're use to something more flat out.

Don't want them to think you're going soft.

I don't care what they think.

Simon cares what they think.

I don't care what Simon thinks either.

If I wrote the song for him it would be called

"Simon", right?

If he knew I was letting you test out new material

in front of a live audience -

- he'd have my balls on the cutting room floor.

Hey hey hey - It's all music, right?

Well, yes and no.

I mean, in your case -

- music is a commodity.

You're starting to sound like Simon.

Dave, what he's trying to say is...

No I'm just saying -

- I'm sick and tired of playing cover tunes -

- for the music Nazi.

Whoa, what are you talking about man?

We haven't played a cover song since we've been on the road.

That's all we play, right?

What's wrong with you?

You wrote all those songs.

Yeah, and every cover band at every local dive

has to play 'em now.

That makes 'em cover tunes.

I mean, I may be covering my own tunes,

but they're still cover tunes.

Uh, I never though of it like that.

- Don't be a pussy, Dave. - We're living the dream!

What do you want David?

How can I make you happy?

I just want them to...

hear the music!

All due respect mate,

...they're not here for the music.

They're here for you.

Great way to see the world, huh?

- Through a bus window? - From the interstate? Yeah.

More than you've seen from the tractor.

Shit.

Dude! You pissed on my leg!

... I'll tell them.

I am literally stepping onto the bus right now.

Ah, excuse me.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

I don't see any gentlemen here, my apologies.

We are about to host a very special guest.

Can't imagine who Joe thinks is special.

The queen perhaps?

So it goes without saying that dropping a deuce

in the rolling loo is doubly discouraged.

Joining us all the way from motor city,

Please give a heartland welcome to our very own

Simon Weinrieb.

Oh, there he is now. 'scuse me.

Greetings monsters.

What are you doing in Albuquerque, Simon?

First off, I'd like to extend Myriad's

congratulations to you all -

For selling your one millionth copy of "Into The Deep" -

- last Tuesday at around 11 am.

One Million?

That's one million legitimate sales...

If you add in piracy and that illegal internet music trading -

- we're looking at a number closer to 3 million.

- Oh My God! 3 million? - Are you kidding me?

Now the other shoe.

I knew it.

As you can imagine, this has ruffled some feathers

in the Sugar Kane camp.

We had a discussion with him and he has informed us -

- that he is not interested in being the second largest

act on his own tour.

So after a spirited discussion,

we at Myriad have decided to honor his request -

- and as of this evening,

you gentlemen will be...

headlining the rest of the tour.

Oh Yeah!!

So as you can imagine...

the Sugar Kane fans have expectations.

So you'll need to cover some Sugar Kane material.

Wh... We need to play cover songs?

Why can't we just play our own set?

You know if it were up to me...

you could play whatever you want.

However, corporate is trying

to mitigate the backlash of ticket returns -

- so you'll be playing some Monster material...

and some Sugar Kane material.

Well I'm gonna have to be a lot more drunk

to play a Sugar Kane set.

David, this isn't coming from me.

This is coming from corporate.

Now I'm just going to hand your set list here to Joe.

I'd like you all to all go over it at sound check

this evening before the show.

Aren't you going to be there Mate?

Joe, I would love to be there.

However my flight leaves at 6:15.

Only so much Albuquerque my system can take.

Know what I mean?

Alright.

Congratulations fellas, and good luck.

What just happened?

Is this how it's gonna be every day?

Heh - it's not every day you have your first

headliner show Mate.

Come on Eric! Don't lag behind.

Monster!

Oh my god! Oh my god!

Hey Guys!

Hey man!

I love you guys!

Any chance I could get a backstage pass?

Sorry Mate, you can buy a ticket and watch the show

like everyone else.

Naw, come on Joe...

Just give him a pass.

What's your name bro?

Marty. Marty Stockwell.

And you're Eric Vandenberg.

And you're Dancin Dave Schultz!

Marty Stockwell, do you own our album?

Are you kidding? Of course! It's my favorite album.

Did you buy a ticket for the show tonight?

Hell to the yeah!!

I camped out all night to get it!

He just bought Simon a tune up on his Benz.

The least we can do is give him a fuckin pass.

Yeah, come on Joe.

- All right Mate. - Here's your pass.

Off you go now.

Yeah!!

You guys are my total heroes!

Come on, we don't want to be late now.

Alright, That was suppose to be "Lovin You" -

- for all those Sugar Kane fans out there.

How you doin?

Um, now we're gong to play something from Into The Deep...

also known as our platinum debut album.

It's called Heroes.

It goes out to all of ours and to

Marty Stockwell for making us his.

Bravo on your first headline show.

Thanks bro, thank you.

McMahon, local distributor for Myriad Records.

Wow, pleasure to meet you.

Would you guys be into doing a radio show in the morning?

Ah, the guys aren't that into morning.

It would be huge publicity.

I can get you on the hottest channel around.

Sounds like a Joe question.

- What, English Joe? - I know Joe!

Yeah?

Yeah! He toured through here with Bigfoot last summer.

Yeah, he's definintely in the mythical creature market.

Hey Joe!

Hey Mate! How ya goin'?

Good thanks!

Hey what do you say to getting the guys some publicity...

on KHMR the Hammer 97 tomorrow morning?

What, like an interview thing?

Yeah, maybe a song or two?

I'd love to Mate,

but we've got a lot of ground to cover tonight.

Rats, well where you goin?

We are scheduled to blow the roof off of...

...Phoenix, Arizona tomorrow night.

Well they can do the radio show in the morning...

and then I can fly you to Phoenix.

I have a plane. It's not a problem.

- Can't do it, Mate. - Thanks though.

You know, insurance regulations and all.

Since when did you start following regulations?

Since Bigfoot got held up in Colombia.

Oh, right. Yeah...

Dave! Dave! Dave!

Dave, I want you to meet McMahon.

He sells our records down here.

Oh, hey McMahon.

David Schultz. It's an honor.

Offered to fly us to our next show.

Dude, you know how I feel about planes, right?

Yeah, but what about seizing all those new life experiences?

Yeah, I think I'll stay on the ground so I can sieze

a few more.

But, um, thanks though. Great to meet you.

Hey likewise.

We've got the greatest radio station around.

Love to have you on in the morning.

Dude, don't be a pussy dude. Let's do this.

Uh... dude we're a band ya know?

Can't just split like that.

You're worse than a chick.

- No, come on. - What are you doing?

I'm going the extra mile for Monster.

What are you doing?

No, you're going the extra mile for Eric.

That's what you're doing.

I don't see you going any extra miles.

Especially if they're air miles.

- Man, who are you? - Seriously?

It's not me, man. You're the one who's changed.

Uh huh? Just...

What!?!

Don't do this. OK?

Why don't you tell Joe not to wait up for me.

That is if the offer still stands.

Yup, you got it.

All right! On to our next caller...

Marta from Springport.

Marta, you're on the air with...

Eric Vandenberg from Monster!

- Oh my God!! H..Hi Mr. - Vandenberg! Oh my God!!

Hi Marta from Springport.

Oh my god,

i've...i've...i've never called in before. oh my god!

- All right Marta. - No more coffee for you.

I saw your show last night.

I am your biggest fan.

Well, in that case Marta, maybe you should slow

down on the donughts too.

You don't sound fat.

I'm not fat!

When is the next time we're going to get to see you in town?

- I don't know. Depends. - Are you sexy Marta?

Of course I am!

You sound sexy.

What are you wearing right now?

I just woke up.

I like it. I like it, Marta.

Why don't you slip on something slutty...

and come down to the radio station

at 3917 Bartlett lane...

Hey now!

On second thought, let's not do that!

We're going to play a track off their debut album,

Into The Deep.

What the hell is wrong with you man?

You can't say that on the air!

Hey look, thanks Sammy!

Come on, big boy, we got a plane to catch.

Dude!

So captain, can this flight make an unscheduled stop?

Who is she?

One of my best friends.

Can she bring a friend for me?

It's not like that.

I got a bridge to un-burn.

All right. Anything for you Big Boy!

Oh my god!!

I though you were suppose to be in Phoenix.

Yeah, yeah, I should be, but...

Joe's probably having a cow right now.

Well what are you doing here?

Dave... he's in a bad way.

...and I kinda owe him one.

Eric, I can't...

Janie...

If he could just see you. Please.

In Phoenix?

Yeah.

You mean everything to him.

Eric? Is that you?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Eric!

Wake up.

What are you doing here?

I live across the street.

What are you doing here?

Where are we?

We're in the park.

What am I doing here?

Come on.

- Come on. - Let's get you cleaned up.

Oh god.

Let's go.

Come on.

Get in the shower.

Eric, go.

Now that we're alone...

Stop! Stop!

You're drunk.

No, I'm in love.

No, you're drunk.

You need to eat something.

You're in love too.

But not with you.

Then why are you being so nice to me?

Because I loved Dave and Dave loved you.

- And I love you. - I've always loved you.

Dave would have died for you.

- He did that for me? - So you'd be single?

I can't be around you.

Get yourself cleaned up

and get out of my house before I get home.

HE'S GONE!

OK? I'm all that's left.

But I still love you.

You wouldn't have done that if you loved me.

If I loved you?

IF I LOVED YOU?!

Joining me today is the hot new sensation:

MUNSTER!

I love these guys!

Mons...? Monster!

All right, let's take that from the top again.

First the obligatory Chicken & the Egg question.

When you guys write together, what comes first?

The music or the words?

Music.

Definitely the music.

Words come first almost always.

Music.

Well I'm glad we straightened that out.

In your song Radio America...

you've got that big reverb sound.

How did you get that?

We recorded in a grain silo.

No, No, really.

Really?

Guys, now that you're growing,

do you have any plans to expand your outlets?

Yeah, I was...

actually thinking of putting some in my kitchen, ya know?

'Cause I keep running out of plugs in there.

Absolutely...

I tried to tell him to get one of those power strips, but...

No I'm talking ab out television or film.

No.

We can cut a lot of this Chuck, don't worry.

I think yes.

No

We are actually aspiring to sell out...

ah we just need a higher asking price.

Maybe a Biopic?

A movie about these farmboys made rock stars?

Yeah, that would tank.

I don't think I could sit through that...

Really. I mean, who would play me?

Who would play my guitar? That's the serious question.

That's true. Seriously.

All right guys.

Well first, what every young American girl want's to know...

Hold on guys, one sec...

Chuck, I didn't like the way that segued. -

Can we take that back two?

Stay with me guys, here we go.

You're doing OK. You're doing great.

Thank you. You look good.

Thank you.

Now that you guys are growing...

do you have any plans of expanding your reach...

into television or film?

I already have a TV.

But can you reach it?

Well, I have a remote,

so, I, you know...

Good point. That was a good point.

- Stay with me guys. - Here we go.

You're doin ok. You're doin great.

But, shouldn't music always be something beautiful?

I mean, music doesn't have to be pretty -

it just needs to heighten our ability to feel.

Well, why would someone want to listen to music...

that's not aesthetically pleasing?

Well, when we listen to music, what we hear are those tones.

that resonate from within us.

That's why we can all listen to the same song...

but hear it completely differently.

You know, there's no right or wrong...

except for what you make of it.

Is that what you were trying to say in your song Risky Business?

Yeah, exactly.

I mean, the more life you get under your belt...

the song may sound different from...

the first time you heard it. You know.

Um, which makes it a more personal intimate...

experience every time you listen to it.

So music can only communicate that which is already in us?

Wow, that was deep.

Yeah, if you listen to a well made melody,

you'll hear it's like a conversation.

So um you have a question...

And then...

So if you want to know all the answers...

you gotta stay till the end of the song.

...yes.

...but love...

...lives...

...on.

- Yes sir. - How can I help you?

Uh, do you know me?

- I'm sorry son. - Should I?

- No sir. - I think you can help me.

Well in that case, I'm gonna have to charge you double.

- Come on in. - Have a sit.

Haven't been in a barber's chair in a while, huh?

Eric, you got a phone call.

What?

Got a phone call.

Who is it?

Wouldn't say.

Yeah?

There he is!

Do you know how long I've been looking for you?

Simon, if you're not in the market for some quality...

mechanical maintenance on heavy farming machinery...

I can't help you. This is a work number.

Well handsome...

it's the only number I can reach you at.

Well lose it, cause I'm in the middle of an oil change.

Gotta go.

Hey, wait kid, listen.

You did it.

Sorry?

You're number 1.

- Thanks Simon. - Good bye.

Did you hear what I said?

You're number 1!

Who's To Die is the number one single!

Kids are even buying it off that new...

internet music website.

What are you talking about?

Your song:

"Who's To Die"!

What, don't you listen to the radio?

It'll be the first single...

on your next album. Get the boys...

What are you doing with that?

Nobody here plays piano anymore.

Just gonna give it away?

Well, we'd like it to go to someone who will use it.

David's mother can't bear to have it around anymore.

You want it?

No sir.

I'm more of a dairy man myself.
