Day two pre-production. Best record in the world.
You're welcome.
Rocking out uncontrollably.
I can't take the metal man. It's making me nuts.
Silly.
Because of the thing "die" it almost seems like you need to sing "duhhh"
I should do it again with a deep breath.
Yeah cus you didn't, when you were doing the higher stuff that you did before with the thing and the stuff.
Right now.
I like that you can see.
It's so different actually recording our record.
- Not anything like we do at home. - Nothing at all.
No different at all. I mean... I mean, it's not the same at all.
Everything is changing.
- And there is this guy… - Look how big this room is.
- I know. - Freaking huge.
It's amazing.
So nice out.
Now, this is what goes on during pre-production.
I'm over here slaving away and there is our producer.
You're drooling, man! Wake up!
Oh hold on Amy, cut the camera.
Probably at the [pi]zzeria.
What do you want at the... Do you want me to play at the bridge for now?
- Just for now, yeah. - Okay.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Something in the body.
You've got it, no you don't.
- Can't believe you can actually do this. - We're banging in Little Rock.
Just really high, just slip along, just really high.
With your left hand there just do like the creepy high step one...
I gave it one hundred percent like I always do, whatever.
Nevermind, yes.
Let's do another.
Yeah, let's run the second.
Ready?
Oh boy, I like this end.
- I love that end part. Good call, David. - I do too.
This is the mic where I was just recording.
It would've been cool if you could have seen me sing but you know, nobody loves me. but you know, I know he loves me.
- No, seriously in the whole world. Oh, I got it going big. - It's phat.
Look at that.
How about this? By the time we are all done with this...
I will reinvent the Rubik's Cube in here and you will teach me how to spin the disks.
A lot of work right there. I can do that.
That'll be another achievement I have.
That's really neat how you do that. I couldn't do that. I don't think...
- CD's hard as well... - But well, maybe I could.
- Starting with like a notebook's way easier. - Really?
Something larger. I can spin like pillows.
- Children? - Small Children. - Pillows!
- That's great. - Small babies.
Going Under and Taking Over Me for now. And we'll get the other four to him later.
- Do you hear me? - Which ones?
Bring Me To Life, Going Under and Taking Over Me?
Strings up on guitars now.
- I want to do for this one too. - We definately will do for these four.
- But that's not part of the first, this is is not part of the... - First batch?
- Yeah, cus it'll take a while. - Yeah I knew we would do for this one eventually.
We just made the best song in the world.
I forgot to turn on the camera because I'm so excited.
- Good good song. - This song is called My Imaginary.
- Or My Immoral if you would. - Or My Immoral.
My Immoral.
- Damn you age. - Amy, you are my imoral.
This is... This is what the best song in the world looks like.
It's not done; this is pre-production in case you didn't know.
- Yes, and no wise cracks. - Yeah, don't make fun of it.
- I don't want to hear, I don’t wanna hear it right now. - It's not done, it's taking its time.
It has taken its time for the past... How many years?
Three, four.
Remember that old old school version of this song with the clipping vocals?
- You know I never listened... - Everybody in Little Rock that loves this song...
is gonna freak out!
Like I mean like so many peole really "Yeah, Imaginary, you know it's our encore".
- Oh my gosh, they will pee their pants. - No, no, listen up.
If I get any, any, just one radio interview it's all I'll say...
- I like the old Imaginary. You're like "well you're stupid". - You're an idiot.
I wanna be in it.
Like that old one, if I told you, Amy that...
All right? The old one on the little EP, I never listened to it.
Cus I just didn't like it cus it had like guitars in the beginning.
- You hated it. You just didn't hear the song. - Yeah, I really liked the song...
and I only listened to it once cus I could never find it again cus I...
- never sat through the guitars in the beginning. - Now I can be in the movie.
Hey, hey don't put that on speaker! Don't put that on speaker!
- Why? - Don't ever set that on speaker.
Will it be magnetized?
Uh oh, it's broken! The screen just blew!
Good one, Amy!
...out of the chair and breaks it.
I think I might have.
- I can feel it coming, but... - Do it again.
- Yeah, one more time. - Yeah, do it again.
Hey, like cause of the spring action, like when it pops and...
- Do it again. - That was cool.
- I'm done. - Yeah, you looked really hot when you did it.
- You should do it again on camera. - Okay.
Screw you guys.
Hey! Stop! Stop!
I... I'm gonna work work on it. I don't wanna... What are you doing?
You gotta stop and be there.
That's the point.
From this point on just give me the dynamics from...
first verse and second so I don't have to hear the heavy guitars...
- ...on second verse you know that throws me cold. - Oh, coming out the second.
I want the chorus to really come in blasting.
Especially if we are going to be playing it back by Wednesday if it's not finished.
Blast it , blast it!
- Or just mute the guitars, whichever way. - You 'blast'-erd!
Das ist gut, ya!
I am a little disturbed by your posture.
[I didn't] mean for it to really be this loud.
This reminds me of when I was trying out for professional modeling.
What's that?
He's having a stroke!
Look me in the fucking eye and say that. Look me in the eye and say it, man.
Come on, great master!
Thou shalt not speak to good master in such a tone.
You're an ass today!
- That volunteer is not helping much. - Hey, this is what I had in mind.
- I don't really like that very much. - You don't? - That's nice.
- No, you know what I like better? - What?
Can I see those braids for a second?
No, they're just going to come undone because you lost my rubber band.
No they won't. That's why I hold them. Let me see. Look, give me this one first.
Yes ok we got this braid, now give me the other braid.
Alright now you know what we do with these two braids is this.
- Now get the rubber band so you can secure your... - No!
- Are you tying it in a knot? - No.
- Yes. - No, I'm braiding. - Oh, no.
- No. - I told you to get the rubber band.
I hope you eat crap!
- A big pile of steamy peanut grilled hot steamer. - Gross!
A hot steamer. You know what a hot steamer is, camera boy?
- Is a Cleveland steamer baby? - What's that producer man?
- You know what a pink sock is? - What's that?
He's been dying to tell us all day. You might as well just spit it out.
- Oh boy, I'm not telling you. - Tell me or I'll demonstrate other methods.
- It's when the removal… - Oh, no!
Somebody's asshole hanging out like a pink sock.
- Oh my God! - Alright, enough of Producer Man.
- And the other one form the... - You're gonna be late for work, man.
- There is a special place in hell for people like you. - I didn't come up with it. I only heard it.
The best one is the hot steamer.
- Please! - And how much...
When it comes...when you pull it out this it's fresh and it's steaming.
Oh God!
- Ok. - I don't remember her.
Chocolate Love says hello.
Oh yeah, she went with us to Los Angeles. How weird is that?
No, she was here for a week and she left on Monday morning.
We are supposed to make this place look trashed, right?
- More rock and roll, dude. - Yeah! - Oh yeah, because you know what's funny?
We just took it to the next level working our asses off, no one tops it.
- When I was in... When I was in Fayetteville... - I didn't have time to go throw it away.
I called her up because a friend of mine thought he saw her in Fayetteville...
- Want me to get that for you? - So I called her up and...
- No you should take the top of and throw it on the floor as well - we talked a little bit and I was like...
'Hey, why don't you come to LA with us? You got fired from your job. You got nothing to do'.
Yeah, so like within the course of thirty hours she was like 'yeah, I'll go' and I was like 'sweet'.
You know how many times I've tried to do that before? Tried to get people to do that stuff and they never will?
- That's why she's got... - We should do that thing with the camera going round.
- Like on That 70's Show. - So any way.
No, it was totally fun we had a great time.
Yeah, it was really good we were parting.
So how was... How was Shawn E.?
- It was, yeah. - It was, yeah. - Good. - Good.
Get a close up on my hairline so that next year I'll be able to tell whether I'm really going bald or not.
- Ok. - For Rogaine?
