but I'd have my flashlight
and I'd spot it
on the guy's face.
One of those big mag lights,
like the cops use.
Bam, right in your face,
stop the song and say, Okay!
Stop! And I'd say,
Okay, sing... sing the parts
that everyone else
was just playing.
Dush! Okay!
Sing what the next guy was
doing over there, just randomly.
And you had to go...
Bada doo da doo doo da
or whatever the keyboards
were doing,
or somebody had to do
my drum parts.
My drum parts
are very intricate,
they're very difficult.
To have a bright light
flashed in your face
in the middle of a dark room
while you are meditating
on our mistress music
is a scary
and psychologically
scarring experience.
I just started wearing
sunglasses in rehearsal
and it didn't
make it as bad,
but there you go.
Seriously, I don't understand
that piece of sh*t band.
I mean, I respect music.
I love music, actually.
I like to get down,
but, dude, that sh*t
doesn't make any sense to me.
I just-
I don't (bleep) get it.
Probably one of the worst
bands I've ever seen.
I've seen them come,
I've seen them go,
and, honestly,
they take the cake.
They're seriously so
(bleep) bad I got pissed off.
I can't handle bad music.
It's like you guys
should change
the name of your band
to Day Job.
I hate the Grateful Dead.
I (bleep) hate that band.
Honestly, my parents
listen to that (bleep) music
over and over and over again,
and my mom did that dance thing
where they do the dance.
At about age eight,
I started realizing
that that guy, Jerry Garcia,
(bleep) sucks, dude.
And my parents
are (bleep) stoned.
Jerry Garcia
is a (bleep) plague, dude.
All those (bleep)
burrito-making,
hip-turning hippies
that listen to him,
and (bleep) tool around
and don't get jobs
and don't do anything,
they can (bleep) go to hell.
The band (bleep) sucks
and they died when he died,
and I'm glad it's over, dude.
I'm glad it's (bleep) over.
You know that
bartender downstairs?
Yeah, I didn't
like his vibe.
Dude, that guy was talking
hella sh*t about us.
then he started talking about,
um, Jerry, and h's like,
I'm glad that guy died.
What?
I was like, What?
He's all, I'm glad he died.
F*** him.
I'm like, Whoa.
Hold on.
He said,
I'm glad that guy died?
He said,
I'm glad Jerry died.
All right.
I'm gonna beat him.
What the f***, dude?
Yeah, this is
a good thing, man.
Don brought this cat around,
Drew Shackleford.
Who am I?
Who's Drew Shackelford?
A lover of beauty,
a singer of songs.
That's what I'm about.
you know?
I've got it,
I've got the knowledge.
I'm like a Renaissance Man.
He loves the band,
he's into it.
He's got a big fat pad
up in the-
up in the hills,
and, uh...
So far he seems like a
really cool guy, you know?
He's got some money.
I don't know where
he gets his money,
I'm not asking any questions.
He's kinda going
to finance our record.
We're going to do a record,
going to put out this record.
I'm stoked, man.
He's like our Owsley,
you know?
I was just there to say,
you know what, brothers?
You're going down
the right road, you know?
Let me help you.
You've got the wheel,
you're driving the vehicle,
just let me be the gas.
I want to help you succeed,
I want to give back
because I see you in me
and you see me in you.
He's not a stuck-up guy,
you know?
He doesn't hang out
in the Polo Lounge,
or drink cocktails
with umbrellas
sticking out of them
or any of that stuff.
The kind of stuff
that I do
I think really
connects with people.
It's the simple stuff,
but man, the vibe
that people get off it
is pretty heavy.
That's what people
have told me, anyway.
I'm confident that
we are going to bring
the world:
this new album.When undertaking a recording
in a professional environment,
a good deal of skillful and
tenacious preparation is involved.
The key to it all...
People are always trying
to get really good snare sounds,
and I think the most important
element to me is the kick drum.
The kick drum...
it's really the meat.
I think the snare
is more the potatoes.
You got your meat and your
potatoes with your snare.
And maybe the high hat
is more like the asparagus.
Today I expect it's going
to take a little bit longer
because I really want
to get it right
because you only make
you know what I'm saying?
You only make
Let me know if that bubble goes
too far out to the left there.
It's usually
worth waiting for.
I've never had anyone's set
take this long to set up.
I mean, he only
has four drums.
As far as studio stuff,
more experienced
than the other guys.
You know
the Geinserle Diamonds.
I don't know if you
remember that jingle.
They called me in
and I played on that.
I played...
It was like
a glockenspiel,
but it wasn't really
a glockenspiel,
but it was this
little bell tree thing
and I played on that.
How're we doing?
Uh, Lapdog's
still setting up.
I view golf
as a spiritual journey
and I am a warrior
armed with a weapon.
This club and these shoes
were given to me
by the High Priest
of the Borborandon temple
on the Maldive Islands.
I envision
that all the evil
and all the suffering
in the world
is encapsulated
in that ball,
and it is my responsibility
as a spiritual warrior
to drive it as far away
from this planet as possible.
Dammit!
That was wet.
Ploink.
I feel all sorts of anger
bubbling up inside of me,
but I'm not going
to let it out here.
That's not bad.
Look at that!
hoo hoo!
Look at that!
I'm on the dance floor!
Noonan! Noonan!
That's from like that movie.
Whoa!
Look at that!
I need to burn
some sage out here.
Maybe I should go back
to our car and get some.
Yeah, I don't know
about that.
Heh hah hah.
I know that Lapdog
had a good day out there
and I'm genuinely
happy for him.
I'm happy he had
a good time.
And deep down, somewhere,
I had a good time, too.
l...
I know I got a bit upset.
Well, yeah, Lapdog talking
a lot while I was putting
and saying things
in the middle of my backswing,
that didn't help.
Noonan, Noonan, Noonan.
Ah.
Ugh.
Sorry.
That's from that
Caddyshack movie again.
Once this record
goes platinum or gold
or whatever
it's going to do,
then I might just
redevelop my whole set
because I'm sure there'll
be some drum companies
that will want to give me
some equipment.
Then I can just do
what I want,
and l... believe me,
I have some ideas.
The reason I use pictures
is that there's been studies
that have shown
that what you see
affects how you hear.
This picture here
is a picture
of a classic
Jungian archetype.
An archetype is a particular
pattern of energy that you find
throughout the cosmos.
This character here
is a shamanic character
