The Rocker Page #8

on out of here. Come on. Let's go.

All right. Here we go.

Rock 'n' roll!

Ow, ow, ow. My carpal tunnel.

Okay, put me down.

Yes.

All right. Can you feel the excitement?

I sat right there for Metallica...

...way up there for Mtley Cre,

behind the stage for Van Halen...

...but I never thought

I would be standing here.

I'm so nervous.

I'm gonna be sick.

Act like we're back in the garage.

Yeah, with 20,000 Vesuvius fans

just chilling on the driveway.

- You think they'll like us?

- We're gonna make them like us.

There they are. Woo-hoo!

A.D.D. Ha-ha!

Fish, dude, so glad to have you

back, bro. For real, for real.

Everybody at Matchbook is happy

you worked out your thing.

Well? You ready?

Let's get ready to do this show.

Come on.

All right. Come on, let's go.

Okay, guys, follow me.

I got A.D.D. right here with me.

This way.

Clear the hall. Vesuvius coming

through. Vesuvius coming through.

Ha-ha! Uh-oh!

A.D.D., let me introduce you

to the mighty Vesuvius.

David Marshall.

We've met a couple times.

No.

Sorry.

Hello, kiddies. You're the band

we're supposed to launch.

Gobsmacked, eh?

It's all right, mates. It's difficult

to meet your heroes for the first time.

Why do you guys

have British accents?

Who's this geezer?

"Why do you have British accents?"

Hang on. Hang on. We know him, mates.

Back from when

we were American. Look, it's Fish.

Who?

Oh, Trash, Trash, it's Fish. Fishy.

Fish and chips.

Oh, right.

Yeah, Fish, having a laugh.

All right, mate? Sticks, this is the bloke

what you replaced.

- Hey, that's right.

- Fishy.

I just wanted to point out

that I'm actually from England.

He's just taking the piss.

You know, one of me mates.

So, Fish.

Been busy?

You know,

I've thought about this moment...

...every day for the last 20 years...

- Oh...

...wondering what I would say to you...

...what I would do to you.

And if this was a week ago...

...I would have attacked you all

like a fierce wolverine.

I'm glad it wasn't last week, then.

Pulled the skin from your faces...

...and treated myself to some

human carpaccio or face jerky.

But that is just not me anymore.

So I wanna say to you right now...

...have a great show.

Oh...

Cheers, man.

Come on, for old times' sake.

Not bad, huh? D.V. coming

through for you. Meeting your heroes.

Let's do this. Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

I know that guy.

I love you, Matt.

Yeah! Whoo!

Yes. Yes!

You rocked it.

- Hey.

- Hey.

So good.

Yes.

- Great show.

Yeah, you too.

So I was wondering maybe if later

you'd wanna get a bite to eat.

Sure. Yeah. I'll tell Mattie.

I was thinking maybe, you know,

just me and you could go together.

Oh.

Yeah.

I mean, you know, that'd be cool.

All right.

Hey.

There it is.

So good, man. You were so good.

Sweetie, you were wonderful.

Fish, that was awesome.

Thanks.

- Nice haircut, by the way.

- Thank you.

I heard women

like a more mature look, so...

I liked your look.

- Come here.

- Ah, ah.

- I'm kind of... You know? You sure?

- I don't care.

All hail the mighty...

... Vesuvius.

Oh, my God. They're lip-synching.

It's a live mike.

- They're lip-synching.

- They're lip-synching.

Get out there and do something.

Keep going.

Oh, no.

We got an Ashlee Simpson

situation here.

You suck.

Go back to Cleveland, Cleveland.

Go away.

You guys suck.

Losers.

A.D.D. A.D.D.

A.D.D. A.D.D. A.D.D. A.D.D.

It's insane.

- What do you think?

I think...

...they're calling our names.

Come on. Let's roll.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It is not a good idea to go out there.

It's Vesuvius' show.

Don't wanna make them look bad.

And you'll piss off the record company,

which I do not suggest you do.

These people came here

for live music.

Screw these people. It's a free show,

dumbass. You don't have a choice.

- David's right.

- Thank you.

We don't have a choice.

We gotta go up there.

By the way, you better not be here

when we get back.

We're gonna look

for new management.

I love this kid. Love him.

You speak your mind.

You have integrity. You inspire me.

You're like 6, and you inspire me.

Hey. Read my lips, a**hole.

You're fired.

- Let's go. Come on.

- You're a bad man.

Come on, guys.
