Last Days Here Page #2

---

for about 22

I've been in off-houses

detoxes

You know that's why I smile

and tell people

"I'm alive man"

I'm not supposed to be alive

Uh did you see where

the piece of crack went?

The big piece of crack?

Oh my God look there's==

oh no that's a Band-Aid

- No, I know

It fell down into

- You saw it?

I mean the place is a hellhole

It's a sh*t-hole

It's a sloth house

and I hate it

That's why I want to get out

man

I don't like dirt see?

- You want to get out?

- Believe it or not yeah

F***ing A

I'm gonna get out

Are you kidding?

That looks like rat poop

It's not==

[heavy metal music]

# And these are gonna be

some of my last days here #

# I'm wasting away,

and time to #

- He's been close to death

ever since I've known him

I can't tell you

how many times

I get a message that he leaves

in the middle of the night

saying good-bye

- He didn't live a hard life

and then come back

and try and write love songs

He wrote songs from

the perspective of somebody

that was metaphysically

in the sub-basement

He's used that to make very

harrowing bone-chilling music

- Man I remember sitting

at the side of a train track

This was like where I lived

side of a train tracks

I found a boom box

in a dumpster

and the only tape I had

was Be Forewarned

He speaks truths that not many

people can see or know

It's pain

and it's empowerment

and it's just all these things

in one purely from the heart

It's almost like on a smaller

scale like my bible you know?

- The first time I ever saw

footage of Bobby

I never seen nothing like it

He definitely understood

the seductive powers

of rock and roll man

and he could just go from

this textbook rock-and-roll guy

and then all of a sudden just

crouch down like the devil

You know when you're a kid

man

that's about the f***ing coolest

thing you can see

[laughs]

So

- There's something about

I guess the mystique of Bobby

He just has that persona

you know

and that charisma that people

just like latch on to

And then his drug addictions

and things like that

it's added to all that

but it's also a hell

for a lot of people

who've played in bands with him

over the years

I mean if you look on

the Pentagram Myspace site

on the left column

it's got all the prior members

of Pentagram

and it's you know==

it's like a list that long

- The potential's there

but you know

there's certain personal things

in his life

that are keeping him from

going all the way

[heavy metal music]

- Even though I talked to him

and seemed like

it was a dead end

the guy's got some kind of fight

in him

He's got a flame

that won't go out man

I wanted to start a fire

with it you know?

So today we're headed down to

uh see Bobby

Um

I have a toll coming up

Do you want to do this

after the toll?

[cars whooshing]

- Thank you

- Thanks

So today I'm gonna go down

I have notes and an outline

of what I think the plan

should be

And even if we get

a contract signed

and it takes us forever

to start recording

sh*t can fall apart man

So we really

got to f***ing move on it

and move on it fast

and make it happen

You know what we're gonna get

a f***ing record made

God damn it

[laughs] I hope

Practically speaking

the one thing I can do

for Pentagram and Bobby

is give 'em good direction

And something I mentioned

to him

like "Bobby you know what?

You're f***ing almost dead man

Unfortunately it sucks"

He tells me this

all the time

"So you got one more shot to

really make another big mark"

And that's what I really want

to help Bobby do

It just has to happen

There's got to be a final

finale chapter

in the story

of Bobby Liebling

[birds chirping]

I really think that you guys

can do it

and come back together

and do a great record

I haven't even started

negotiating the contract yet

at all

It's just figuring out

if they're interested

figuring out what

they're willing to give

for an advance

We also have to figure out

Geof and Greg or whatever==

are willing to be

on the record

So part of the reason I want

to go with Housecore dude

is Philip is the contemporary

hard rock hero right?

You are the dude

from the past

He's gonna bring you

huge visibility

So what we need to do is

we're gonna lay out a budget

that we're all gonna

have to agree to

and we're all gonna

have to stick to

and I want to see this sh*t

happen

I have too much time

invested in it

to not even follow through

at this point

So what I'm gonna do is

I'm gonna record him

Backlash, Suffering,

and Everything's

Turning To Night

and hand it to him backstage

at the Down show

But the other thing is==

too is

it's my word

I'm giving to them you know?

Before all this happens

make sure that you're

and we're gonna go with it

So this what I'm handing you

is my final==

my final effort

to f***ing help you

and try to f***ing put a great

record on the history books

- You know what I want to do?

I want to live

I want to live a little man

- Well here's the thing

- I want to live

I don't want to die anymore

- We do this record bro right?

Hopefully it'll help you

get out of here

We're gonna figure out what

we're gonna get for percentages

what your royalties

are gonna be all that stuff

- I have to eat

I have to make a living

I can't==I can't do this

irresponsible little

crying child trick forever

I can't

I've been Peter Pan

my whole life man

There's times

you do something

I want me back

I'm tired of giving me out

and giving up and running away

I run away with you know

the old piece of glass

you know?

If I smoke any crack after

today you can have my records

How about that?

I'll put it on the camera

- "If Robert Liebling smokes

crack after today 1 0/1 2/07

"Demian Fenton

and Sean Pelletier

will own Robert Liebling's

entire record collection"

- Before you do it

it should say "1 B"

Possession should take place

only if and after 9 days==

you know==

It's up to you

I don't care

- We're not gonna take

your records

We just want you to stop

smoking crack

- Yeah yeah

- Sign this

- No but you should put

- Do you want me to hold

the crack when you sign that?

- You know what I mean?

[heavy metal music]

- Throughout Pentagram's career

they've really come so close

to really making it

- Our manager at the time

Gordon Fletcher

one of the two managers

knew a lot of people

in the business

and he knew Gene and Paul

in KISS

So we had this set up for them

to come see

one of our rehearsals

- It was in a basement of

a house that I was living in

Wasn't really a heavy metal

studio let's say

- The day that KISS

was going to be arriving

Greg and Vincent had to work

and they were working

as janitors

- So unfortunately Vincent

a brilliant guitar player

and Greg heavier-than-hell

bass player

were off cleaning toilets

I don't know

If KISS was coming

to my house to watch my band

I would quit my f***ing job

I wouldn't even go to==
