little bit behind the drums?
Did you see...
Did you notice that?
I think there's some problems
with the drums, to be honest.
The bass was
It seems like the drums
were dropping
a little bit, you know?
kinda sounded like
you fell down the stairs
a little bit.
Well, that was sort of,
you know, syncopation.
You ever hear of syncopation?
Right, right.
You know, the main thing-
tell me if I'm wrong Oz...
but as long as the drums are
correct, this is a good take?
You don't think that you guys could
just dub your parts over the top?
I don't think
it's us guys.
This is our first record. This is
the first song on the first record.
We gotta make a statement.
You know what, Gordo?
We open up that door,
we gotta make that statement.
You know what?
You only make
Yeah!
Are you goin' to Burning man?
You guys ready
for playback?
Hey, are you goin'
to Burning man?
It's like a salad, man.
If we have all the pieces
of the salad,
and they go together, and
it gives you one flavor?
Yeah.
If you take, like...
If you take a cucumber out
and just eat it alone,
it doesn't taste
like a salad.
So when we're not
playing together,
and it's all perfect together,
then, you know...
But the drums are like
the lettuce of the salad.
Yeah, was the lettuce good?
And if the lettuce isn't good-
No.
Hey, it's, uh, day four.
And we've been recording
Burning Man
which- I know that seems
like a long time,
it's... it's a week.
It's seven days.
So from that perspective,
we are actually
ahead of the game.
It feels good!
Hey, are you goin'
to Burning man?
That was rad.
I think we got it.
What was that?
Did you hear that?
No. What was that?
That!
What?
What, that!
Hey, are you goin'
to Burning man?
What the hell's that? What
the hell's all that sh*t?
Are you goin'
to Burning Man?
Aw, that was the take!
Dude, that was
the f***ing Jam, dude!
And that wasn't the bass.
What are you talking about?
The bass is f***ing
all f***ed up, dude!
Yeah, the bass
has noise on it.
I'm sorry, it's going
to have to be redone.
What the f***, dude?
There's nothing we can do?
Wait a minute,
we can't just dub it?
Because I know the bass
was a little behind.
Yeah, it was behind.
What?
No, you'd have to do the whole
thing again, unfortunately.
What? The bass wasn't
f***ing behind, man.
What are you f***ing guys
talking about?
Just cause some f***ing
mic cable goes out,
you f***ing
blame it on me?
I got this chick over here taking
pictures of me all the time.
I don't even know
who this person is
invading our space
of our studio.
Wait, dude, wait!
She's here as part
of the team.
She's documenting
what we're doing here, man.
She's here.
I don't know what
she's doing here.
What are you doing here?
Dude, you're pushing
a little too hard.
Well, who is this person? Dude,
you're pushing a little too hard.
She's in the room with us
while we're trying to play.
You're yelling at her,
you're yelling at me.
You f***ed up
the f***ing take.
You're f***ing yelling at me
right now because she's me.
What the f***, dude? She's
me. What are you saying to me?
What are you talking about?
Did she f*** up that bass line, too?
Yeah, she might've.
Yeah. What the f***, dude?
How do you know? Why can't
you bring a good bass, man?
That's a f***ing
great bass!
That's a horrible bass!
It ruined the track!
Dude, you're f***ing
sitting there
like a f***ing fat-ass walrus
saying I have a bad bass.
F*** that, dude; I don't know
why it's gotta be like that.
It's a f***ing
Vox bass, dude.
We're working here
together, you guys.
You know what, f*** you guys.
I'm going to get f***ed up.
We're working here together.
F*** that sh*t.
Dude, I'm trying, man.
Come on, now.
I'm trying.
Gordo, don't walk out.
The drums were awesome,
the drums were ripping.
The drums were killer
in that one.
I thought they sounded...
I'm outta here.
I'm taking a break.
Yeah, take a break.
F***.
When you look
at the math here,
it's four days and we still
haven't completed one track.
it's four days and we still
haven't completed one track.
You gotta go
and talk to your guys
and my deal is,
tomorrow, we don't work.
It's over.
Day off?
Day off.
We stop, collect it,
get it together.
No more bullshit.
And come day after tomorrow,
and these guys are going
to talk to this man.
What do you mean?
A therapist.
You're going to
bring in a therapist?
Yeah.
A guy who will let these guys
learn how to communicate.
It's been suggested
a time or two
that we bring in a therapist
to... or a mediator
to various groups
that I was working with
to see if they can straighten
out some of the horse sh*t.
I do a lot of group therapy.
I've work with many
different groups
on social harmonology,
which is my field of expertise.
Great art comes about
because of tension.
I mean, you look at bands
like The Police,
those guys were,
from what I hear,
those guys were
fighting all the time,
and they made
great music.
The Everly Brothers.
I heard they didn't even
hardly talk to each other
and, you know, I couldn't
name any of their songs,
but that was great stuff.
That's the difference,
they fought each other,
but they didn't
attack each other.
And have there been
Well, yeah.
I mean, yeah,
there has been.
Mei, yesterday,
was absolutely...
I felt like Hitler
at Waterloo yesterday.
Wow.
I was... I was-
It was actually
the day before yesterday.
I'd love to just go on
that journey with them,
from where they are
right now out here
to the studio, right up
to who knows where.
The Grammys
or whatever the kids
are, uh... you know.
I want to make a record.
You want to use my pad here?
- We agree on that.
Yes, I want to make a record.
- All right.
I think that's a big
breakthrough right there.
Don't you think?
No.
If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't
be bringing her in, you know?
You don't see me
bringing in people.
You don't see me
bringing in my... b*tches.
What do you mean b*tches?
Well, whatever.
I'm just telling you.
Mei is not
a girlfriend, dude.
Well, l...
Mei is like...
you're saying to me,
hey, you shouldn't
bring your spleen
into the recording studio,
that's what your saying to me.
Oh, leave your lower intestine
at home; you don't need it.
That's what you're saying to
me. I think we are saying that.
You guys are just
talking silly stuff.
I'm a tolerant man,
but I've had enough of this.
Well, we'll take a...
You know what, maybe, um...
Because I'm really... I'm
sitting here, I'm ready to talk.
He bent it.
Okay. Steven?
We're here to talk.
This is going
to sound crazy,
but I've always
wanted blonde hair.
