hear it, I didn't think the music I was listening to 391 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,418 had the kind of commercial appeal that a distributing 392 00:36:14,433 --> 00:36:16,185 company needs. 393 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,385 Slash: One would think that this is an obvious money maker. 394 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,218 This can work on a commercial and aesthetic level. 395 00:36:21,233 --> 00:36:25,085 Gray hair man: I can't waste my people's time really in 396 00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:27,185 records that are going to sell in two or three cities. 397 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,852 Slash:

403 00:36:40,233 --> 00:36:42,052 you're looking at high cost of recording. 404 00:36:42,067 --> 00:36:43,652 Slash: They don't have the ability at this point in time 405 00:36:43,667 --> 00:36:46,618 to even go out on a limb for a band like that. 406 00:36:46,633 --> 00:36:48,785 Gray hair man: You know, you can't sit here and play God. 407 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,852 Slash: We have ten

00:37:09,152 division to support, so we're looking for records that 413 00:37:09,167 --> 00:37:11,285 have a national appeal. 414 00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:14,785 Slash: Well, first of all, you sign good

00:37:34,267 --> 00:37:37,185 when I was at CBS, they were at that crossroad, too, and 423 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,918 they came with a record that was accepted by the masses 424 00:37:40,933 --> 00:37:45,685 and now they sell millions of albums and so I think the 425 00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:47,218 same thing is going to happen with Point Blank. 426 00:37:47,233 --> 00:37:50,185 Voiceover: And
