One, two,
one, two, three, four.
2
00:01:22,023 --> 00:01:24,460
Did you know there's
actually only one groove
3
00:01:24,494 --> 00:01:26,329
on a record?
4
00:01:26,362 --> 00:01:27,430
It's true.
5
00:01:27,463 --> 00:01:29,665
Yeah. It looks like all these
individual circles,
6
00:01:29,699 --> 00:01:31,667
but no, it's just one.
7
00:01:31,701 --> 00:01:33,603
One single line,
8
00:01:33,636 --> 00:01:35,270
1,500 feet of it, to be exact,
9
00:01:35,303 --> 00:01:38,273
a third of a mile carving
its way round and round
10
00:01:38,306 --> 00:01:39,375
in circles until...
11
00:01:41,344 --> 00:01:43,278
it finally just ends.
12
00:01:43,312 --> 00:01:47,215
To make a record it
takes 100 tons of pressure
13
00:01:47,249 --> 00:01:49,685
applied under 1,000 degrees
of heat,
14
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:53,155
all to create
this perfect vinyl platter.
15
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:57,427
Now, what music
goes on the record,
16
00:01:57,460 --> 00:01:59,495
well, that's where I come in.
17
00:02:01,062 --> 00:02:03,399

00:02:49,412 --> 00:02:52,381
-all making offers right now.
-Five other labels, Mr. Hawkins,
34
00:02:52,415 --> 00:02:54,750
and you've only spoken
to the head of one of them.
35
00:02:54,784 --> 00:02:58,387
Now, give me this song
and I promise you,
36
00:02:58,421 --> 00:03:00,523
we will own radio.

00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:02,492
I mean,
a gospel-pop crossover?

No one's ever done
that before!

there is just no one better.
43
00:03:11,634 --> 00:03:14,236
No, no. You called me
Mr. Hawkins, not Reverend.
44
00:03:14,269 --> 00:03:16,372
I'm not pretending there's not
a line.
45
00:03:16,405 --> 00:03:18,741

You talk

74
00:04:18,868 --> 00:04:21,671
"Oh, Happy Day" sold
over seven million records.
75
00:04:21,704 --> 00:04:24,574
It even won us a Grammy.
Hmm.
76
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:28,411
Alright. The choir
wasn't actually there
77
00:04:28,444 --> 00:04:30,713
when I got arrived.
I didn't get up the stage
78
00:04:30,746 --> 00:04:32,748
and perform the song,
but you know what?
79
00:04:32,782 --> 00:04:34,282
I could have.
80
00:04:34,317 --> 00:04:37,486
Hell of a lot more fun
to tell it that way, though.
81
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,889
You realize that that's
gonna be the problem
82
00:04:39,922 --> 00:04:41,657
with all these stories, right?
83
00:04:41,691 --> 00:04:44,594
Listen. I'm not... I'm not sayig
that people are gonna be lying.
84
00:04:44,627 --> 00:04:46,161
It's just... Okay.
85
00:04:46,194 --> 00:04:48,464
Well, some of them might be.
86
00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:49,865
It's just that memories,
87
00:04:49,899 --> 00:04:51,834
memories are complicated,
you know.
88
00:04:51,867 --> 00:04:53,636
We remember
what we wanna remember.
89
00:04:54,770 --> 00:04:56,772
And we forget
what we need to forget.
90
00:05:02,345 --> 00:05:04,680
To be at the heart of something
as impossibly successful
91
00:05:04,714 --> 00:05:05,781
as what we had...
92
00:05:05,815 --> 00:05:07,883
Gladys Knight,
the Isley Brothers,
93
00:05:07,917 --> 00:05:11,487
Bill Withers, Parliament,
the Village People, Kiss,
94
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,388
and Donna...
95
00:05:12,421 --> 00:05:14,624
it's... How do you expect me to
tell you
96
00:05:14,657 --> 00:05:16,525
how all that really happened?
97
00:05:18,226 --> 00:05:20,195
Couple guys broke as we were
98
00:05:20,228 --> 00:05:22,698
to making
over $100 million a year.
99
00:05:23,933 --> 00:05:25,901
I mean, first, you'd have
to understand our crew,
100
00:05:25,935 --> 00:05:28,537
because there was just no one
else ever like them.
101
00:05:29,538 --> 00:05:30,940
Cecil was my best friend.
102
00:05:30,973 --> 00:05:33,241
He was also a record executive
who loved the artists
103
00:05:33,274 --> 00:05:34,910
and the music
even more than the business,
104
00:05:34,944 --> 00:05:36,579
and the artists themselves...
Oh, my God.
105
00:05:36,612 --> 00:05:38,848
They sure loved him...
and trusted him,
106
00:05:38,881 --> 00:05:40,816
more than they ever trusted me.
107
00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:41,751
Larry was a music fan
108
00:05:41,784 --> 00:05:43,786
long before he ever became
an executive.
109
00:05:43,819 --> 00:05:45,220
It was why he was so effective
110
00:05:45,253 --> 00:05:46,822
staying out on the road
with the bands.
111
00:05:46,856 --> 00:05:48,324
He was also my cousin,
112
00:05:48,357 --> 00:05:52,260
and all great business
is family.
113
00:05:52,293 --> 00:05:55,798
Buck had been a short-order
cook before he married Nancy.
114
00:05:55,831 --> 00:05:57,533
Our PR man,
he was the connection guy
115
00:05:57,566 --> 00:05:59,435
who could convince
just about anyone
116
00:05:59,468 --> 00:06:01,537
to do just about anything.
117
00:06:02,538 --> 00:06:03,439
And Nancy.
118
00:06:03,472 --> 00:06:06,542
God. Every DJ
and radio program director
119
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:08,577
just loved Nance.
120
00:06:08,611 --> 00:06:09,645
She was our secret weapon,
121
00:06:09,679 --> 00:06:12,448
getting our music on the air
and into your lives.
122
00:06:12,481 --> 00:06:15,317
She was also my wife's sister.
123
00:06:16,719 --> 00:06:18,988
Beth was, um...
124
00:06:19,021 --> 00:06:21,256
Well, she was the first person
who ever believed
125
00:06:21,289 --> 00:06:23,492
my dreams could be
more than just dreams.
126
00:06:23,526 --> 00:06:26,261
She was the first one
to ever truly believe in me.
127
00:06:27,596 --> 00:06:29,432
And Joyce...
128
00:06:29,465 --> 00:06:32,568
You know, I may have met her
as Kiss's manager, but...
129
00:06:32,601 --> 00:06:34,837
well, we'll get to Joyce.
130
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:37,740
Just... give me a little time.
131
00:06:39,475 --> 00:06:42,277
Look. I know that we've been
blamed for a lot of bad things
132
00:06:42,311 --> 00:06:43,446
that happened,
and I'm not saying
133
00:06:43,479 --> 00:06:46,315
it's not sex, drugs, and rock
and roll, because it was.
134
00:06:46,348 --> 00:06:48,484
It's just, it was sex before
it was deadly, you know?
135
00:06:48,517 --> 00:06:50,519
And finding out who wasn't
doing drugs would be
136
00:06:50,553 --> 00:06:53,789
a hell of a lot harder story
for you to tell.
137
00:06:53,823 --> 00:06:56,492
But if what you're after
is the truth
138
00:06:56,525 --> 00:06:58,761
of not just what happened
but how it happened,
139
00:06:58,794 --> 00:07:00,996
then, you know, you're
just gonna have to believe
140
00:07:01,030 --> 00:07:04,834
all of it, because every
single bit of it
141
00:07:04,867 --> 00:07:06,402
was true.

only two months before,
149
00:07:26,388 --> 00:07:28,357
we were throwing
the biggest party Los Angeles
150
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:30,626
had ever thrown,
to launch Casablanca Records,
151
00:07:30,659 --> 00:07:32,628

00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:41,437
and they were... well,
they were, uh, different.
156
00:07:41,470 --> 00:07:42,303

It's who they are, Joe.

You know what they're
not talking about, Joey? Huh?

179
00:08:28,851 --> 00:08:30,486
even against you.
180
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:32,621
-You wanna bet?
-I bet they suck.
181
00:08:32,655 --> 00:08:33,622
Uh-huh.
182
00:08:38,594 --> 00:08:39,562
Mwah.
183
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,437
Hello. So, I had a thought...
184
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:50,639
on my way
over here tonight.
185
00:08:50,673 --> 00:08:53,576
I thought to myself,
"What the hell am I doing
186
00:08:53,609 --> 00:08:55,711
in Humphrey Bogart's
actual suit?"
187
00:08:57,613 --> 00:09:00,049
Poor kid
from the Brooklyn projects,
188
00:09:00,082 --> 00:09:01,450
son of a postman.
189
00:09:01,483 --> 00:09:03,385
Oh, stand up, Pops. Pops.
190
00:09:03,419 --> 00:09:04,653
-There he is.
-Thank you. Thank you.
191
00:09:04,687 --> 00:09:07,857
-Oh, sure. Take a bow. Why not?
-Learned everything from me.
192
00:09:07,890 --> 00:09:08,924
Bad stuff from his mother.
193
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:11,961
Hell of a long trip
from Brooklyn, huh?
194
00:09:11,994 --> 00:09:13,462
Not so far, kid.
195
00:09:14,163 --> 00:09:16,031
Dreams...
196
00:09:16,065 --> 00:09:19,001
only come true for those who
believe in them.
197
00:09:19,034 --> 00:09:21,437
So, tonight,
to celebrate the launch
198
00:09:21,470 --> 00:09:24,773
of the biggest independent
record label in history,
199
00:09:24,807 --> 00:09:28,677
we thought we'd share
some of our dreams with you.
200
00:09:28,711 --> 00:09:31,146
So, you may have heard them
on the radio,
201
00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:33,616
but after what you're
about to experience tonight,
202
00:09:33,649 --> 00:09:35,651
you're never gonna forget
these guys.
203
00:09:35,684 --> 00:09:37,152
So, put your two lips together
204
00:09:37,186 --> 00:09:40,689
for the hottest band
in the world, KISS!
205
00:09:45,628 --> 00:09:47,162
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that way.
206
00:09:47,196 --> 00:09:49,798
- Hello, Los Angeles!
- Ah!
207
00:09:49,832 --> 00:09:52,635

- Yeah, good. More.

unlike anything anyone
had ever seen,
227
00:10:40,616 --> 00:10:41,750
but I could see them.
228
00:10:43,852 --> 00:10:44,787
I could see it all.
229
00:11:27,663 --> 00:11:29,665
Performance was great.
I just, um...
230
00:11:29,698 --> 00:11:31,633
you know,
forgot about the smoke.
231
00:11:35,671 --> 00:11:36,905
And the fire alarm.
232
00:11:38,941 --> 00:11:40,642

Alright. Guys. Guys. Guys.
243
00:12:13,108 --> 00:12:15,077
I knew they were gonna suck.
244
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:16,945
Kiss my ass.
245
00:12:19,615 --> 00:12:21,683
It's not your fault, guys.
246
00:12:21,717 --> 00:12:22,818
They don't understand art.
247
00:12:22,851 --> 00:12:24,253
Just be careful around
the water.
248
00:12:24,286 --> 00:12:26,188
-I fucking warned you!
-Don't touch anything.
249
00:12:26,221 --> 00:12:27,222
-Neil!
-Don't touch...
250
00:12:27,256 --> 00:12:28,223
Don't electrocute...
251
00:12:28,257 --> 00:12:30,626
- Paul, please.
- Paul. Paul, come on.
252
00:12:30,659 --> 00:12:35,365
Just like that...
the night it all began...
253
00:12:35,398 --> 00:12:36,865
we were finished.
254
00:12:46,308 --> 00:12:47,676
You okay?
255
00:12:53,849 --> 00:12:56,218
You made it rain
inside, Daddy.
256
00:12:56,251 --> 00:12:58,187
Do another trick.
257
00:12:58,220 --> 00:12:59,855
I'm working on it, honey.
258
00:12:59,888 --> 00:13:02,224
I'll get Jill home
to Beth and the boys.
259
00:13:02,257 --> 00:13:04,226
Just tell her
I'll be home soon.
260
00:13:04,259 --> 00:13:06,662
But you promised
we'd dance, Daddy!
261
00:13:08,997 --> 00:13:10,732
You bet I did.
262
00:13:10,766 --> 00:13:12,801
Prettiest girl
in all the world.
263
00:13:59,047 --> 00:14:02,151
I had worked my whole lifeleading up to that night,
264
00:14:02,184 --> 00:14:05,187
but KISS was dead the momentthey took that stage.
265
00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:06,255
The town just hated them.
266
00:14:16,332 --> 00:14:17,966
About the timeI got home to Beth,
267
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,936
even she had heardwhat a disaster it had been.
268
00:14:20,969 --> 00:14:21,870
From the day I married her,
269
00:14:21,904 --> 00:14:24,806
she always knewthe truth I was hiding.
270
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,143
She just...didn't always admit it.
271
00:14:28,177 --> 00:14:29,445
Hey, you okay?
272
00:14:29,479 --> 00:14:31,813
Your sister tell you
what happened tonight?
273
00:14:32,415 --> 00:14:34,450
Yeah.
274
00:14:34,484 --> 00:14:36,486
Even with everythingthat had happened
275
00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:38,454
along the way,
276
00:14:38,488 --> 00:14:40,789
we'd still always beenbetter together.
277
00:15:06,982 --> 00:15:09,051
They, uh, say the biggest sin
of a record man
278
00:15:09,084 --> 00:15:11,220
is believing in something
because you have to,
279
00:15:11,253 --> 00:15:13,423
not because you do.
280
00:15:13,456 --> 00:15:15,391
But I had believed in Kiss,
281
00:15:15,425 --> 00:15:17,859
and I knew
what Casablanca could be.
282
00:15:17,893 --> 00:15:19,362
♪ Get yourself together ♪
283
00:15:19,395 --> 00:15:21,863
But after the party, the town
was already celebrating
284
00:15:21,897 --> 00:15:23,899
the death of Casablanca.
285
00:15:25,067 --> 00:15:26,868
Hello, Casablanca.
286
00:15:26,902 --> 00:15:27,970
Not that that was gonna
stop us.
287
00:15:28,003 --> 00:15:30,373
Mark Parenteau, WABX!
Kiss just got added
288
00:15:30,406 --> 00:15:31,840
to regular rotation
in Detroit.
289
00:15:31,873 --> 00:15:33,976
Nance, you paid off Mark
to do that, didn't you?
290
00:15:34,009 --> 00:15:35,311
Of course I did.
291
00:15:35,345 --> 00:15:36,912
Mwah! Love this woman.
292
00:15:36,945 --> 00:15:38,947
Mo Ostin at Warners
needs you to call him back.
293
00:15:38,981 --> 00:15:40,782
-Of course he does.
-He called six times.
294
00:15:40,816 --> 00:15:43,252
Of course he did.
295
00:15:43,285 --> 00:15:44,354
Hey, Cec!
296
00:15:44,387 --> 00:15:46,389
Hey. Bill called.
297
00:15:46,422 --> 00:15:48,156
Gene and Paul
are demanding a meeting.
298
00:15:48,190 --> 00:15:50,259
Oh. Just tell them
to get ready for the tour.
299
00:15:50,292 --> 00:15:52,462
-You got KISS a tour?
-No, but you're gonna do it.
300
00:15:52,495 --> 00:15:53,696
Just find 'em a headliner
301
00:15:53,730 --> 00:15:55,931
that's not gonna be intimidated
by them as an opening act.
302
00:15:55,964 --> 00:15:58,100
New artist from Giorgio.
He'll be expecting a yes.
303
00:15:58,133 --> 00:16:00,269
- Scotty! You listen to this yet?
- Ah, yeah,
304
00:16:00,302 --> 00:16:03,005
but they're Giorgio, you know?
They're different.
305
00:16:03,038 --> 00:16:05,007
-How different?
-After last night,
306
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,041
too different.
307
00:16:06,074 --> 00:16:08,043
Last night went exactly
as we expected,
308
00:16:08,076 --> 00:16:09,479
and that includes
the sprinklers.
309
00:16:09,512 --> 00:16:12,147

Sorry I missed it, your party.
324
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:10,072
I spoke to Cess-ull.
325
00:17:10,105 --> 00:17:11,940
-Cee-sull.
-You have no money.
326
00:17:11,973 --> 00:17:13,643
Ha-ha. Well,
there's always money, Giorgio,
327
00:17:13,676 --> 00:17:15,110
if you know where to find it.
328
00:17:15,143 --> 00:17:17,380
Listen. Those new songs of yours
were different.
329
00:17:17,413 --> 00:17:19,081
The eighth
and the sixteenth notes,
330
00:17:19,114 --> 00:17:21,249
that open hi-hat
on the down-beat.
331
00:17:23,386 --> 00:17:24,487
That's new. It makes you move.
332
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,921
Mm-hmm.
333
00:17:25,954 --> 00:17:28,256
Where did you find that voice?
334
00:17:28,290 --> 00:17:30,092
An American girl.
335
00:17:30,125 --> 00:17:32,662
She does the musicals in Munich.
336
00:17:32,695 --> 00:17:34,564
LaDonna Gaines.
337
00:17:34,597 --> 00:17:36,532
Gaines. Gaines.
338
00:17:36,566 --> 00:17:39,000
Her first husband's name was
Sommer.
339
00:17:39,034 --> 00:17:40,670
Everything is hotter
in summer.
340
00:17:40,703 --> 00:17:43,205
An Italian from Germany
writing in English.
341
00:17:43,238 --> 00:17:45,173
You know what?
Maybe we pretend she's German.
342
00:17:45,207 --> 00:17:46,642
I never could figure out
his accent.
343
00:17:46,676 --> 00:17:49,177
What? Neil, you can't afford
to buy my music.
344
00:17:49,211 --> 00:17:50,613
I may not have been
at your party,
345
00:17:50,646 --> 00:17:52,315
but I could read. Even English.
346
00:17:52,348 --> 00:17:54,650
The party was to announce
that we're open for business,
347
00:17:54,684 --> 00:17:56,586
and now, we're on the cover
of everything.
348
00:17:56,619 --> 00:17:57,754
Because they say
you're finished.
349
00:17:57,787 --> 00:18:00,390
That's 'cause they don't know
what starting looks like,
350
00:18:00,423 --> 00:18:05,160
Giorgio. Now, I don't want
your music for our label, okay?
351
00:18:05,193 --> 00:18:10,366
I want it for yours.
Oasis through Casablanca.
352
00:18:11,701 --> 00:18:14,302
You let them write about that.
353
00:18:14,337 --> 00:18:17,139
Giorgio, why don't we take
a look at some artwork?
354
00:18:19,207 --> 00:18:21,943
Good old flash paper
trick, huh?
355
00:18:21,977 --> 00:18:25,280
Oh! Nelly, Warners wants
to bleed us to death.
356
00:18:25,314 --> 00:18:28,083
I snuck a tape recorder into
their little sales meeting.
357
00:18:28,116 --> 00:18:30,152
They wanna kill KISS
to kill us.
358
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,688
Hello, Casablanca.
359
00:18:32,722 --> 00:18:34,357
Neil, I think
you're overreacting.
360
00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:36,359
Oh, really? So you're telling me
that Bruce here
361
00:18:36,392 --> 00:18:38,528
did not tell your teams
not to push our records?
362
00:18:38,561 --> 00:18:40,329
Bruce, the boys have concerns
363
00:18:40,363 --> 00:18:42,432
about how we're
handling Casablanca.
364
00:18:42,465 --> 00:18:45,100
Actually, Brucie,
the boys here are concerned
365
00:18:45,133 --> 00:18:47,102
that you might be a spineless
little cocksucker.
366
00:18:47,135 --> 00:18:49,171
-Oh, yeah. That's also true.
-Well, we don't have
367
00:18:49,204 --> 00:18:51,039
any actual proof
about the cock-sucking.
368
00:18:51,072 --> 00:18:53,308
But we all know, and no one
here's gonna judge you, Bruce.
369
00:18:53,342 --> 00:18:55,611
-Fuck you, and fuck you!
-You see that, Mo?
370
00:18:55,645 --> 00:18:57,713
He's trying to fuck me.
I don't blame him.
371
00:18:57,747 --> 00:18:59,415
Nobody gives a shit
about KISS.
372
00:18:59,449 --> 00:19:01,617
-Were you not at the party?
-This ain't got a damn thing
373
00:19:01,651 --> 00:19:03,151
to do about the party, and you
know it.
374
00:19:03,185 --> 00:19:04,286
Oh, you're right about that.
375
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,355
It's about the fact that they
can't cut a radio hit.
376
00:19:06,389 --> 00:19:08,724
Their bullshit stage tricks
make them a fucking joke,
377
00:19:08,758 --> 00:19:11,059
not an act. That's why
their record's not selling.
378
00:19:11,092 --> 00:19:12,762
I wanna play you
a little something
379
00:19:12,795 --> 00:19:14,330
from our newest record.
380
00:19:14,363 --> 00:19:16,064
You're an asshole, Bruce.
381
00:19:16,097 --> 00:19:18,501
Mo, just take a listen.
It's got a hell of a hook.
382
00:19:20,168 --> 00:19:22,070
We don't promote KISS
383
00:19:22,103 --> 00:19:23,271
or any Casablanca records.
384
00:19:23,305 --> 00:19:25,475
We don't push 'em,
they can't sell 'em,
385
00:19:25,508 --> 00:19:26,576
and that's how we end 'em.
386
00:19:26,609 --> 00:19:29,144
Fuckin' bleed 'em to death.
387
00:19:29,177 --> 00:19:33,081
- You fucking recorded me?
- Don't touch me.
388
00:19:33,114 --> 00:19:35,418
-My wife got me that table.
-He fucking touched me, man.
389
00:19:35,451 --> 00:19:38,086
What the fuck?
This is fucking Warner Brothers,
390
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,021
not some fucking
New York back alley
391
00:19:40,055 --> 00:19:41,089
you just crawled out of,
assholes!
392
00:19:41,122 --> 00:19:43,258
You messed with our business,
Bruce, and nobody,
393
00:19:43,291 --> 00:19:46,061
fucking nobody,
messes with our business,
394
00:19:46,094 --> 00:19:47,630
-not even you, Mo.
-What the hell
395
00:19:47,663 --> 00:19:49,297
do you really want?
396
00:19:49,332 --> 00:19:51,801
Huh? You didn't come
all the way over here
397
00:19:51,834 --> 00:19:53,669
just to beat up Bruce.
398
00:19:53,703 --> 00:19:55,036
-I did.
-No.
399
00:19:57,473 --> 00:19:59,408
We want out.
400
00:19:59,442 --> 00:20:02,612
-From our distribution?
-Fucking everything, all of it.
401
00:20:02,645 --> 00:20:07,249
You're broke.
402
00:20:07,282 --> 00:20:10,051
The whole town knows it.
What are you gonna do?
403
00:20:10,085 --> 00:20:11,521
Go door to door
across the country,
404
00:20:11,554 --> 00:20:13,789
selling your records yourselves?
405
00:20:13,823 --> 00:20:15,257
You'll never survive without us.
406
00:20:15,290 --> 00:20:18,260
No. We'll never survive
with you.
407
00:20:18,293 --> 00:20:20,195
You're gonna remember
this fucking meeting.
408
00:20:20,228 --> 00:20:23,265
No, and... and not
with a fucking smile.
409
00:20:23,298 --> 00:20:26,167
So, bill me for your table
and have a nice fucking day.
410
00:20:27,436 --> 00:20:30,806
Hey. You do know
no one's ever done this before?
411
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,542
Because no one's
ever tried before.
412
00:20:35,511 --> 00:20:37,580
Launching
our own distribution, we weren't
413
00:20:37,613 --> 00:20:40,282
just going up against Warners.
We were waging an all-out war
414
00:20:40,316 --> 00:20:42,451
against all the majors at once.
415
00:20:43,586 --> 00:20:45,220
But if we were gonna survive,
416
00:20:45,253 --> 00:20:46,822
we absolutely needed a hit,
417
00:20:46,856 --> 00:20:51,327
which meant we absolutely
needed something new.
418
00:20:53,329 --> 00:20:56,264
LaDonna Adrian Gaines
may have been born in Boston,
419
00:20:56,298 --> 00:20:58,166
but her dreams had landed her
in Germany,
420
00:20:58,199 --> 00:21:00,168
which is where her story with us
really begins.
421
00:21:00,201 --> 00:21:02,270
-You're late.
-I'm as early as I could be.
422
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:03,773
He's releasing the song
in America,
423
00:21:03,806 --> 00:21:05,441
and I mean right away.
424
00:21:05,474 --> 00:21:07,510
What? We haven't even recorded
the real song yet.
425
00:21:07,543 --> 00:21:09,645
-It's just a demo.
-When I'm done with the mix,
426
00:21:09,679 --> 00:21:11,647
no one will care.
427
00:21:11,681 --> 00:21:13,649
I'll care.
428
00:21:16,485 --> 00:21:19,154
Uh, you gave him control
over how I look?
429
00:21:19,187 --> 00:21:21,490
He creates an image, a story.
It's what he does.
430
00:21:21,524 --> 00:21:23,726
Well, don't you think he should
at least meet the real me
431
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:27,195
before he decides there needs
to be a fake one created?
432
00:21:27,228 --> 00:21:30,866
LaDonna, your daughter
is asleep in the hallway
433
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:33,336
instead of a bedroom
all her own, dreaming
434
00:21:33,369 --> 00:21:36,505
a sweeter dream than you
could ever provide her alone.
435
00:21:36,539 --> 00:21:39,475
You will never get
another chance like this.
436
00:21:39,508 --> 00:21:40,476
Sign it.
437
00:21:44,914 --> 00:21:48,517
They... they legally changed
my name?
438
00:21:48,551 --> 00:21:50,353
He changed his, too.
439
00:21:50,386 --> 00:21:51,621
He was right. I had.
440
00:21:51,654 --> 00:21:54,523
And not just once.
441
00:21:56,191 --> 00:21:58,293
I was actually
born Neil Bogatz,
442
00:21:58,327 --> 00:22:00,228
growing up
in the Glenwood projects
443
00:22:00,261 --> 00:22:01,897
of Brooklyn, New York.
444
00:22:01,931 --> 00:22:04,800
Alright, Neil.
What else do you want?
445
00:22:07,937 --> 00:22:09,270
All of it.
446
00:22:10,473 --> 00:22:12,240
By the time
I was eight years old,
447
00:22:12,273 --> 00:22:13,909
I already knew
that the life that I wanted
448
00:22:13,943 --> 00:22:16,345
was far, far away from here.
449
00:22:30,860 --> 00:22:33,329
Please. I swear!
450
00:22:33,362 --> 00:22:34,463
You hear that, kid?
451
00:22:34,497 --> 00:22:37,298
Your pops says
he swears this time!
452
00:22:49,378 --> 00:22:50,680
You dropped your egg cream.
453
00:22:52,014 --> 00:22:53,749
We'll get you a refill.
454
00:23:03,492 --> 00:23:04,627
Are we poor, Pop?
455
00:23:04,660 --> 00:23:05,628
What?
456
00:23:07,930 --> 00:23:10,231
What you worried about? Huh?
457
00:23:10,966 --> 00:23:13,602
Hey, money's easy.
458
00:23:13,636 --> 00:23:14,970
You can always find money.
459
00:23:15,004 --> 00:23:16,772
A person's got to know
what to do with it.
460
00:23:16,806 --> 00:23:18,306
That's what counts.
461
00:23:18,941 --> 00:23:21,310
Do you know what to do with it?
462
00:23:21,343 --> 00:23:23,913
Because it's not here.
463
00:23:26,048 --> 00:23:27,917
Do me a favor, boychik.
464
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:31,320
Look at all these people, huh?
465
00:23:31,353 --> 00:23:33,723
Now, you got a choice. You can
live in a four-color world
466
00:23:33,756 --> 00:23:35,891
or one in black and white
like all these schmucks
467
00:23:35,925 --> 00:23:37,493
too terrified
to dream of a world
468
00:23:37,526 --> 00:23:40,196
outside
of our four shitty blocks.
469
00:23:41,697 --> 00:23:43,231
Eh, not me.
470
00:23:43,999 --> 00:23:45,868
I know what to do with it.
471
00:23:45,901 --> 00:23:47,770
I'm gonna get us
the hell out of here.
472
00:23:48,938 --> 00:23:51,239
Hey. I promise you.
473
00:23:52,508 --> 00:23:55,578
Just... need a little more tim.
474
00:23:55,611 --> 00:23:57,012
That's all.
475
00:24:04,453 --> 00:24:06,355
Neil, you got
all the machines going.
476
00:24:06,388 --> 00:24:08,591
It saves my time,
Mrs. Finkelstein.
477
00:24:08,624 --> 00:24:10,626
If I leave these with you,
you'll put them in
478
00:24:10,659 --> 00:24:11,961
when you're done?
479
00:24:11,994 --> 00:24:13,662
I'll give you five cents.
480
00:24:14,663 --> 00:24:16,365
Ten cents.
481
00:24:16,398 --> 00:24:17,566
Saves your time.
482
00:24:19,969 --> 00:24:21,302
You better fold them.
483
00:24:21,337 --> 00:24:22,905
- Let's go!
- Within a month,
484
00:24:22,938 --> 00:24:24,707
I had 40 kids
working the neighborhood.
485
00:24:24,740 --> 00:24:26,809
Here's how it's gonna go.
I'm gonna assign...
486
00:24:26,842 --> 00:24:30,379
Within two, I was
bringing in more than my dad.
487
00:24:30,412 --> 00:24:31,480
You know how it feels
488
00:24:31,514 --> 00:24:33,048
making more money
than your father?
489
00:24:33,082 --> 00:24:35,818
Exactly how you think it does.
490
00:24:38,721 --> 00:24:42,391
By 1961, I had changed
my name again to Neil Scott.
491
00:24:42,424 --> 00:24:45,361
I tried acting, playing
the piano, even the sax,
492
00:24:45,394 --> 00:24:47,563
and while I always wanted
to be a singer,
493
00:24:47,596 --> 00:24:50,900
it was as a dancer that
I finally found the beat.
494
00:24:53,969 --> 00:24:56,872
My fiancée,
Erminie McNulty, everybody.
495
00:24:59,875 --> 00:25:02,511
I am Neil Scott, your singer,
your dance instructor,
496
00:25:02,545 --> 00:25:04,680
and anything else
you need me to be tonight.
497
00:25:05,815 --> 00:25:08,717
But, uh, that's not
why I'm telling you this part.
498
00:25:16,492 --> 00:25:17,493
Dance.
499
00:25:19,662 --> 00:25:21,997
Is that a statement
or a question
500
00:25:22,031 --> 00:25:24,900
without the inflection
at the end?
501
00:25:24,934 --> 00:25:26,035
Dance with me.
502
00:25:26,068 --> 00:25:29,038
We don't dance with the staff.
503
00:25:29,071 --> 00:25:30,539
Our parents own the hotel.
504
00:25:32,007 --> 00:25:34,577

the records.
563
00:27:58,721 --> 00:28:00,756

00:28:00,789 --> 00:28:02,224

So, Murray-The-K
does a monthly competition.
569
00:28:14,570 --> 00:28:16,271
He pits one new single
against another.
570
00:28:16,305 --> 00:28:18,140

571
00:28:18,173 --> 00:28:20,609

'til the grooves wear out.
572
00:28:20,642 --> 00:28:21,944

00:28:25,681 --> 00:28:27,816

575
00:28:27,850 --> 00:28:30,719

This is Murray-The-K,
WINS,
603
00:29:53,135 --> 00:29:56,339
where Neil Scott is the name
you're gonna wanna remember!

00:29:56,372 --> 00:29:58,207
♪ Uno, dos, one, two ♪
605

606

As Neil Scott, I'd recorded
two more songs
607
00:30:01,444 --> 00:30:02,845
for Portrait Records,
608
00:30:02,878 --> 00:30:05,080
but we'd made "Cherry On Top"
a hit.
609
00:30:05,114 --> 00:30:06,882
It never made me one.
610
00:30:06,915 --> 00:30:08,117
One-hit wonder.
611
00:30:08,150 --> 00:30:10,152
Well, you know that story.
612
00:30:10,185 --> 00:30:11,354
Anyway, after a short stint
613
00:30:11,387 --> 00:30:13,922
as soft porn actor
Wayne Stewart,
614
00:30:13,956 --> 00:30:16,426
which there's really no need
to get into now,
615
00:30:16,459 --> 00:30:17,860
I'd become Wayne Roberts,
616
00:30:17,893 --> 00:30:20,195
freelancing
for Fortune Employment,
617
00:30:20,229 --> 00:30:22,432
you know,
getting other people jobs,
618
00:30:22,465 --> 00:30:23,966
when MGM Records called
619
00:30:23,999 --> 00:30:26,001
looking for someone
to run record promotions.
620
00:30:26,034 --> 00:30:29,372
And well, fuck me
if I didn't know just the guy.
621
00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:32,241
His name?
622
00:30:32,274 --> 00:30:34,410

623
00:30:34,444 --> 00:30:36,044

I get a say in this?
626
00:30:40,450 --> 00:30:42,385
Yeah, of course.
You get a say in everything.
627
00:30:42,418 --> 00:30:44,253
We'll take a vote.
628
00:30:44,286 --> 00:30:45,821
Did you really change our names?
629
00:30:45,854 --> 00:30:47,856
Well, you got to write down

639
00:31:08,877 --> 00:31:11,347

644
00:31:18,253 --> 00:31:19,455
Huh?
645
00:31:19,489 --> 00:31:21,290

-Neil, how many...
648
00:31:23,459 --> 00:31:25,461
Put it down here. You put it up
here. You got a big,
649
00:31:25,495 --> 00:31:27,463
-big, yellow sign...
-I put what I want in my window,
650
00:31:27,497 --> 00:31:28,364
-Neil!
-saying, "Come look
651
00:31:28,398 --> 00:31:29,499
-at my merchandise!"
-How many times
652
00:31:29,532 --> 00:31:32,067
do I gotta tell you?
I put what I want in my window!
653
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:34,437

-Neil, you just keep trying,
654
00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:36,004
-okay, buddy?
-It's a great song. Okay.
655
00:31:36,038 --> 00:31:38,006
One week. One week.
I take it down after one week.
656
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,209
-Then we put a new one up.
-What are you gonna do for me?
657
00:31:40,242 --> 00:31:42,778
You're asking him
to advertise your records.
658
00:31:42,811 --> 00:31:44,447
No. I'm asking him to put
a couple posters up
659
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,114
in the window.
It's not the same thing.
660
00:31:46,148 --> 00:31:48,817
It's exactly the same thing,
except you're asking him
661
00:31:48,850 --> 00:31:50,819
-to do it for free.
-Well, you know, MGM won't pay

ever existed.
704
00:33:41,997 --> 00:33:43,865
♪ Ooh love to hold you ♪
705
00:33:43,899 --> 00:33:46,336
♪ Ooh love to kiss you ♪
706
00:33:46,369 --> 00:33:48,604
We'd built the kind
of independent record company
707
00:33:48,638 --> 00:33:50,105
that no one
had ever seen before.
708
00:33:50,138 --> 00:33:52,408
The artists worked with us,
not for us.
709
00:33:52,442 --> 00:33:53,509
They were family,
710
00:33:53,543 --> 00:33:55,210
and that made
all the difference.
711
00:33:55,243 --> 00:33:56,612
Neil.
712
00:33:56,646 --> 00:33:58,080
He'll see us.
713
00:33:58,113 --> 00:33:59,848
Still holding. Buck.
714
00:34:07,122 --> 00:34:09,057
Hey, man.
What the fuck you doing?
715
00:34:09,091 --> 00:34:11,026
What the fuck
it look like, black?
716
00:34:11,059 --> 00:34:13,663
Trying to open the...
fucking window.
717
00:34:13,696 --> 00:34:16,264
You're the ones making
a lot of noise downstairs,
718
00:34:16,298 --> 00:34:17,899
that Buddah Records. Yeah.
719
00:34:17,933 --> 00:34:20,135
Big music
needs big speakers, Ron.
720
00:34:20,168 --> 00:34:23,539
Big music needs big dollars,
Neil. Black dollars.
721
00:34:23,573 --> 00:34:24,574
Green dollars, my man.
722
00:34:24,607 --> 00:34:26,241
It's the only color that
matters.
723
00:34:26,274 --> 00:34:27,543
Maybe to you.
724
00:34:27,577 --> 00:34:30,979
So, Cec tells me
you recorded something new.
725
00:34:31,012 --> 00:34:33,248
-I want it.
-You ain't even heard it yet.
726
00:34:33,281 --> 00:34:35,150
Well, you're
the fucking Isley Brothers.
727
00:34:35,183 --> 00:34:37,653
So, if Motown is too busy
to make you a priority,
728
00:34:37,687 --> 00:34:39,422
then Berry Gordy
can go to the record stores
729
00:34:39,455 --> 00:34:41,691
and buy your fucking music
like everybody else.
730
00:34:41,724 --> 00:34:44,259
Plus, you know that we
move product better than anyone.
731
00:34:44,292 --> 00:34:46,629
We know y'all be paying
motherfuckin' DJs
732
00:34:46,662 --> 00:34:49,131
to play the records
you tell them to.
733
00:34:49,164 --> 00:34:52,033
We don't get pimped out.
You dig?
734
00:34:52,067 --> 00:34:54,370
Because we are
the motherfuckin' Isleys.
735
00:34:54,404 --> 00:34:55,371
God damn right.
736
00:34:57,540 --> 00:34:59,409
But you got to be out your mind.
737
00:34:59,442 --> 00:35:03,145
You going head to head
with Berry Gordy himself.
738
00:35:04,347 --> 00:35:06,549
Well, it is called
show business.
739
00:35:06,582 --> 00:35:09,951
So, why don't you play me
the song that we're releasing
740
00:35:09,985 --> 00:35:12,954
off of your own new label?
741
00:35:12,988 --> 00:35:14,923
- Our own new label?
- Mm-hmm.
742
00:35:16,191 --> 00:35:18,327
That's what you're offering us?
743
00:35:18,361 --> 00:35:20,228
Well, that's your thing, right?
744
00:35:20,262 --> 00:35:22,598
It's a black thing.
A black label.
745
00:35:22,632 --> 00:35:24,600
Careful, motherfucker.
746
00:35:24,634 --> 00:35:26,436
You talk a good talk,
but there's a line.
747
00:35:26,469 --> 00:35:30,105
I'm sorry. I thought
you didn't believe in lines.
748
00:35:30,138 --> 00:35:32,040
You played him
the motherfucking record,
749
00:35:32,073 --> 00:35:34,343
didn't you? Because he wouldn't
even be acting like this
750
00:35:34,377 --> 00:35:36,312
if he ain't heard the shit.
751
00:35:36,345 --> 00:35:38,514
-I sang it for him.
-Don't be lying to me, man.
752
00:35:38,548 --> 00:35:42,250
It's a hot fucking song, Ron.
The man had to hear it.
753
00:35:42,284 --> 00:35:44,353
Do me a favor. Why don't you
scoot on over, Ronnie?
754
00:35:44,387 --> 00:35:46,322
Who the fuck you calling...
This motherfucker
755
00:35:46,355 --> 00:35:48,658
-just called me Ronnie.
-You don't know him like that.
756
00:35:48,691 --> 00:35:50,125
Don't be callin' the man Ronnie.
757
00:35:50,158 --> 00:35:52,060
Um, just a term
of endearment, alright?
758
00:35:52,093 --> 00:35:54,262
Do I look like
a motherfucking Ronnie to you?
759
00:35:56,365 --> 00:35:58,568
Do I look
like a motherfucking Ronnie
760
00:35:58,601 --> 00:36:00,168
to you?
761
00:36:01,303 --> 00:36:02,772
As a matter of fact,
yeah, you look
762
00:36:02,805 --> 00:36:04,973
exactly like a fuckin' Ronnie.
763
00:36:13,783 --> 00:36:16,284
You're a crazy motherfucker.
You got some balls, man.
764
00:36:16,319 --> 00:36:18,788
Let me show you a few ideas
I've been hearing in your music.
765
00:36:18,821 --> 00:36:21,223
Oh, now, you got ideas
to my fucking music.
766
00:36:21,256 --> 00:36:22,391
Yeah.
767
00:36:25,126 --> 00:36:26,596
Show me what you got, Neil.
768
00:36:34,537 --> 00:36:36,004
That dirty guitar?
769
00:36:37,305 --> 00:36:38,774
No, no.
You got to turn that shit up.
770
00:36:38,808 --> 00:36:41,410
That nasty brass. Oh.
771
00:36:41,444 --> 00:36:43,813
You tell me that each punch
isn't meant to cut Berry Gordy
772
00:36:43,846 --> 00:36:46,214
right through the fucking gut.
773
00:36:46,248 --> 00:36:48,283
You're a dangerous man,
ain't you?
774
00:36:48,317 --> 00:36:50,285
No, man. I'm just the guy
who knows that you are,
775
00:36:50,319 --> 00:36:52,321
and you fucking should be.
But knockout punches,
776
00:36:52,355 --> 00:36:54,155
they gotta come clean,
be relentless,
777
00:36:54,189 --> 00:36:57,125
and never stop until the body
hits the fucking floor!
778
00:37:08,371 --> 00:37:09,639
Now, that's a hit.
779
00:37:14,309 --> 00:37:15,444
Motherfucker.
780
00:37:21,450 --> 00:37:22,485
-Hey.
-What's up?
781
00:37:32,595 --> 00:37:33,629

00:37:33,663 --> 00:37:35,631

Now, you may have heard of this
794
00:38:09,765 --> 00:38:12,868
as something called payola,
but to us...

Frankie Crocker was
one of the most influential DJs
801
00:38:28,551 --> 00:38:30,419
in the business,
which is saying a lot,
802
00:38:30,453 --> 00:38:32,355
since he was
one of the only black DJs
803
00:38:32,388 --> 00:38:34,857
white audiences ever accepted.

The thing no one ever really got
about payola
809
00:38:47,603 --> 00:38:48,904
is that we never paid anyone
810
00:38:48,938 --> 00:38:51,841
to play records
they didn't wanna play.
811
00:38:51,874 --> 00:38:52,875
-Whoo!
-Ron, you got
812
00:38:52,908 --> 00:38:55,243
my damn table pregnant.
813
00:38:55,276 --> 00:38:57,413
But did we spread
a little love to get our records
814
00:38:57,446 --> 00:38:59,849
a little more attention?
What do you think?
815
00:38:59,882 --> 00:39:01,817
The records were spinning
as fast as we were.
816
00:39:01,851 --> 00:39:03,786
The hits just kept coming.
There was nothing
817
00:39:03,819 --> 00:39:05,421
that could stop us.
818
00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:11,427
They bought the company?
These fucking guys?
819
00:39:11,460 --> 00:39:13,663
Viewlex. They make
film projector lenses.
820
00:39:13,696 --> 00:39:15,965
Which means they know
absolutely fucking nothing
821
00:39:15,998 --> 00:39:17,933

you're missing the subtext.

00:39:29,311 --> 00:39:30,346
It says "sweet Mary".

-I'm Darren. He's Damon.

one of the most successful
847
00:40:10,820 --> 00:40:12,988
independent labels
there ever was.
848
00:40:13,022 --> 00:40:14,890
Every single bet we'd made,
849
00:40:14,924 --> 00:40:16,992
we'd been right.
850
00:40:17,026 --> 00:40:19,995

you don't cash your ticket

actually crosses the line.

00:40:25,434 --> 00:40:27,803
Why we meeting here?
You want a tip or something?
854
00:40:29,505 --> 00:40:30,606
Look at that.
855
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:33,342
You see the one
called, uh, Ghost Train?
856
00:40:33,375 --> 00:40:35,878
Yeah. Don't know him.
857
00:40:35,911 --> 00:40:38,380
She's mine, Pop.
I just bought her.
858
00:40:40,616 --> 00:40:41,817
No.
859
00:40:41,851 --> 00:40:43,319
Yeah. You know,
people bet on her.
860
00:40:43,352 --> 00:40:45,321
That means
they're betting on me.
861
00:40:45,354 --> 00:40:48,424
Wow. Well,
you're always in a rush.
862
00:40:48,457 --> 00:40:50,493
Now, you got a horse
to prove it.
863
00:40:51,660 --> 00:40:54,363
Why don't you
come in with me, hmm?
864
00:40:54,396 --> 00:40:55,531
We can be partners.

00:40:56,932 --> 00:40:58,501

866
00:40:58,534 --> 00:40:59,502
Yeah, sure.
867
00:41:03,672 --> 00:41:06,442
No. I... I don't know
about feeding and training
868
00:41:06,475 --> 00:41:08,309
and all that bullshit
at my age.
869
00:41:08,344 --> 00:41:10,045
Nah. You go ahead.
870
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:11,614
I, uh, I got my own things
going on.
871
00:41:11,647 --> 00:41:14,049
-It's going great.
-You sure? 'Cause when you
872
00:41:14,083 --> 00:41:15,985
-called, it was...
-No, I mean, I got...
873
00:41:16,018 --> 00:41:17,386
-a cash flow situation.
-Oh.
874
00:41:17,419 --> 00:41:19,488
Temporary. You know,
it's nothing.
875
00:41:19,522 --> 00:41:22,491

They're talking
out of their asses.
878
00:41:26,629 --> 00:41:28,364
I... I'll clear it up.
It's nothing.
879

I'll get it back to you,
all of it.
880
00:41:29,999 --> 00:41:32,067
-I just need a little time.
-I know, Pop.
881
00:41:32,101 --> 00:41:33,469
Hey, I'm not worried.
882
00:41:34,703 --> 00:41:35,604

883
00:41:35,638 --> 00:41:37,339

What you got to worry about?
887
00:41:46,615 --> 00:41:49,485
Hey, I got to go to work,
so, um...
888
00:41:49,518 --> 00:41:52,388
Sonny, some nuts on the house,
this guy.
889
00:41:52,421 --> 00:41:54,690
- Yeah. It...
- Don't spend it all.
890
00:42:30,125 --> 00:42:32,862
Cookie told me
about Cecil's raise.
891
00:42:32,895 --> 00:42:35,731
Must be a hell of a thing,
changing someone's whole life
892
00:42:35,764 --> 00:42:36,565
-like that.
-Mm.
893
00:42:36,599 --> 00:42:38,467
Your mother says
you must have helped
894
00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:42,471
your father again.
He bought all new clothes.
895
00:42:42,504 --> 00:42:43,706

on you, Neil,
896
00:42:43,739 --> 00:42:46,475

897
00:42:46,508 --> 00:42:47,910

00:42:51,447 --> 00:42:52,181
I'm being serious.
900
00:42:52,214 --> 00:42:55,017

that they were born into
because they can't even dare
905
00:43:05,861 --> 00:43:08,764
-to dream what's beyond them.
-You're quoting your father now.

That's dangerous.
907
00:43:09,932 --> 00:43:12,835
No. No. What's dangerous is...
908
00:43:12,868 --> 00:43:16,805

You're gonna shoot your show

00:44:47,796 --> 00:44:49,698
-That's right.
-Somebody's finally gonna
944
00:44:49,732 --> 00:44:52,768
make a music show that actually
sounds like music.

00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,069
-What have you told her?
-That you've gone insane.
1226
00:58:47,102 --> 00:58:48,737
We're really gonna steal
1227
00:58:48,771 --> 00:58:50,973
-Gladys Knight from Motown, too?
-Hey, you're the one
1228
00:58:51,006 --> 00:58:53,475
that told me she's pissed off
that Berry Gordy is giving
1229
00:58:53,509 --> 00:58:55,978
all their best stuff to Diana
and Marvin and the Temptations.
1230
00:58:56,011 --> 00:58:57,546
-Yeah, she is. She is.
-Alright.
1231
00:58:57,580 --> 00:59:00,082
So let's swing
for the fences, Cec.
1232
00:59:00,115 --> 00:59:01,617
One last big hit.
1233
00:59:01,650 --> 00:59:03,052
What do you mean,
one last big hit?
1234
00:59:03,085 --> 00:59:04,954
Well, you know,
I've always kind of dreamed
1235
00:59:04,987 --> 00:59:06,856
of owning my own record company.
1236
00:59:06,889 --> 00:59:08,958
Didn't you?
1237
00:59:08,991 --> 00:59:10,359
Neil.
1238
00:59:11,493 --> 00:59:15,130
"Midnight Plane to Houston"?
My people from Georgia.
1239
00:59:15,164 --> 00:59:16,999
They would never take
a plane to Houston.
1240
00:59:17,032 --> 00:59:18,667
I'm-a have to change that.
1241
00:59:18,701 --> 00:59:22,137
I'll... I'll let him know.
1242
00:59:22,171 --> 00:59:24,006
Mrs. Gladys Knight,
this is Mr. Neil...
1243
00:59:24,039 --> 00:59:25,875
Neil Bogart.
1244
00:59:25,908 --> 00:59:27,476
I have definitely heard of you.
1245
00:59:27,509 --> 00:59:30,012
Well, only good things, I hope.
1246
00:59:30,045 --> 00:59:31,580
I heard you got
something special.
1247
00:59:31,614 --> 00:59:33,749
Listen, Neil. If Berry finds
out about this, he...
1248
00:59:33,782 --> 00:59:36,051
Hey, if Motown
was treating you properly,
1249
00:59:36,085 --> 00:59:37,920
you wouldn't be here.
1250
00:59:37,953 --> 00:59:40,623
No. Y wouldn't be here.
1251
00:59:42,224 --> 00:59:44,560
Hmm. Do you mind?

00:59:45,194 --> 00:59:46,562

Well... it's complicated.
1368
01:05:33,509 --> 01:05:35,210

01:05:35,244 --> 01:05:37,112
my whole life.

dream from here?
1372
01:05:43,919 --> 01:05:45,020
KISS!
1373
01:05:48,890 --> 01:05:51,126
And every bet we'd
made back at Buddah
1374
01:05:51,159 --> 01:05:52,395
had paid off,
1375
01:05:52,428 --> 01:05:56,131
but Casablanca, KISS,
and now Donna...
1376
01:05:56,164 --> 01:05:59,268
Mm. So far,
we'd lost every hand.
1377
01:06:06,308 --> 01:06:08,511
No, no, it's dance music, right?
1378
01:06:08,544 --> 01:06:11,547
There is no other voice
like her.
1379
01:06:11,581 --> 01:06:13,015
It's worse than we thought.
1380
01:06:13,048 --> 01:06:14,384
What?
1381
01:06:14,417 --> 01:06:15,951
Donna's not selling anywhere?
1382
01:06:15,984 --> 01:06:17,219
No one knows
what to make of her.
1383
01:06:17,252 --> 01:06:19,389
R and B doesn't want her.
Pop doesn't get her.
1384

-She's just...
-Different.
1385
01:06:21,189 --> 01:06:22,924
The song's dead, man.
1386
01:06:22,958 --> 01:06:24,427
You were wrong
about the Gaines girl.
1387
01:06:24,460 --> 01:06:26,429
It's Summer, okay?
It's Donna Summer.
1388
01:06:26,462 --> 01:06:28,297
Well, you were wrong about her,
too, man.
1389
01:06:28,331 --> 01:06:29,998
Hello.
1390
01:06:30,032 --> 01:06:32,335
By 1975, we'd done
everything we could think of
1391
01:06:32,368 --> 01:06:33,536
to introduce Donna to the world.
1392
01:06:33,569 --> 01:06:34,936
Right in my heart.
1393
01:06:34,970 --> 01:06:38,508
The world just... didn't care.
1394
01:06:38,541 --> 01:06:40,208
You said that he loved the song,
1395
01:06:40,242 --> 01:06:43,078
that he was so sure that it
would change everything.
1396
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:46,815
The song is over, LaDonna.
1397
01:06:47,483 --> 01:06:48,451
I was wrong.
1398
01:06:58,226 --> 01:07:00,330
Just because the audience
doesn't hear it
1399
01:07:00,363 --> 01:07:02,432
does not mean it isn't there.
1400
01:07:03,566 --> 01:07:06,968
Sometimes, it just takes time.
1401
01:07:08,571 --> 01:07:11,907
But we were out of that, too.
1402
01:07:11,940 --> 01:07:13,942
-Neil, don't do this.
-Hey, you called me, Bill.
1403
01:07:13,975 --> 01:07:15,545
To talk about it, not so that
you could do
1404
01:07:15,578 --> 01:07:16,612
whatever you're gonna do.
1405
01:07:16,646 --> 01:07:17,846
This came from Steven Tyler
himself.
1406
01:07:17,879 --> 01:07:20,248
Called and said if we don't cut
the pyro and get a smaller
1407
01:07:20,282 --> 01:07:22,385
sound and lighting rig, we
gotta pack it up and go home.
1408
01:07:22,418 --> 01:07:25,120
-Well, he is the headliner, so.
-Bill, you have to trust us.
1409
01:07:25,153 --> 01:07:26,922
Well, I thought
we were the us.
1410
01:07:26,955 --> 01:07:28,358
We're their managers, Joyce,
you and me.
1411
01:07:28,391 --> 01:07:31,427
Neil, I'm begging you,
please don't gamble on this.
1412
01:07:32,495 --> 01:07:34,464
We should have parked closer.
1413
01:07:34,497 --> 01:07:36,965
And sometimes...
1414
01:07:36,998 --> 01:07:38,934
they hear it
even when they don't know it.
1415
01:07:49,277 --> 01:07:51,046
Hey, Mr. Aerosmith!
1416
01:07:51,079 --> 01:07:54,317

You lost us an Aerosmith tour.
1454
01:09:54,670 --> 01:09:56,238
The tour was already lost, Gene.
1455
01:09:56,271 --> 01:09:58,674
Aerosmith doesn't want you
anywhere near them, alright?
1456
01:09:58,708 --> 01:10:00,376
No headliner does.
Your...
1457
01:10:00,409 --> 01:10:02,244
Your show
scares the hell out of everyone.
1458
01:10:02,277 --> 01:10:04,246
So you want us
to scale everything down,
1459
01:10:04,279 --> 01:10:07,316
- cut the pyro and the lights?
- No. No. No. No.
1460
01:10:07,350 --> 01:10:09,652
If you're gonna be a headliner,
we're gonna need to make
1461
01:10:09,685 --> 01:10:11,387
everything all that much bigger,
alright?
1462
01:10:11,420 --> 01:10:14,423
That means more explosions
and so much, so much louder.
1463
01:10:14,457 --> 01:10:17,225
I have this guy, alright?
He's got these risers that...
1464
01:10:17,259 --> 01:10:20,730
You really think that more fire
and some forklifts
1465
01:10:20,763 --> 01:10:23,766
are gonna be
what finally breaks us through?
1466
01:10:23,799 --> 01:10:25,133
No.
1467
01:10:25,166 --> 01:10:26,536
No. It is gonna be
the music,
1468
01:10:26,569 --> 01:10:28,804
and it was always gonna be
the music, but we might
1469
01:10:28,838 --> 01:10:31,841
just make enough noise
to... to get enough people
1470
01:10:31,874 --> 01:10:34,142
to actually listen to it,
1471
01:10:34,175 --> 01:10:35,778
to pay attention.
1472
01:10:35,811 --> 01:10:38,079
Why did you sign us?
1473
01:10:38,113 --> 01:10:41,283
Our demo was good, not great.
Even I can admit that.
1474
01:10:41,317 --> 01:10:43,151
You had to know
how hard this was gonna be.
1475
01:10:43,184 --> 01:10:44,353
Why take the risk?
1476
01:10:49,124 --> 01:10:52,595
Because your real name
is Chaim Witz,
1477
01:10:52,628 --> 01:10:55,331
and you moved here from Israel
when you were eight years old,
1478
01:10:55,364 --> 01:10:57,700
speaking nothing but Yiddish.
1479
01:10:57,733 --> 01:11:00,570
Because Paul's real name
is Stanley Eisen.
1480
01:11:01,637 --> 01:11:04,306
Because two kids from Queens
1481
01:11:04,340 --> 01:11:06,842
had dreams about being
the next gods of rock.
1482
01:11:09,378 --> 01:11:12,180
And little Neil Bogatz
from the Brooklyn projects
1483
01:11:12,213 --> 01:11:15,216
thinks he can make
everybody's dreams come true...
1484
01:11:17,753 --> 01:11:20,423
if he's just given
a little more time.
1485
01:11:22,325 --> 01:11:24,694
You know, your demo
really was that great, Gene.
1486
01:11:26,362 --> 01:11:30,533
Yeah. Raw and honest
rock and roll,
1487
01:11:30,566 --> 01:11:33,201
even without all the costumes.
But I tell you
1488
01:11:33,234 --> 01:11:35,303
what your real brilliance is,
and I don't even think
1489
01:11:35,338 --> 01:11:38,341
you know this.
It's that you write
1490
01:11:38,374 --> 01:11:40,175
every single one of your songs
1491
01:11:40,208 --> 01:11:43,512
with the same four
God damn chords.
1492
01:11:43,546 --> 01:11:45,848
That means that any...
any 14-year-old kid
1493
01:11:45,881 --> 01:11:47,483
can go out there
and buy a guitar,
1494
01:11:47,516 --> 01:11:48,584
and within 20 minutes,
1495
01:11:48,618 --> 01:11:50,218
they can be you!
1496
01:11:50,953 --> 01:11:53,522
And that matters, Gene.
1497
01:11:53,556 --> 01:11:55,290
That is who you are.
1498
01:11:56,291 --> 01:11:58,259
Now, why did you sign
with me, huh?
1499
01:11:59,328 --> 01:12:02,798
Brand-new label
with you as our only act.
1500
01:12:02,832 --> 01:12:05,601
You had to know you were taking
as much of a risk as we were.
1501
01:12:07,536 --> 01:12:09,237
Because you
never should have gotten
1502
01:12:09,270 --> 01:12:11,239
out of the Brooklyn projects.
1503
01:12:15,276 --> 01:12:16,679
And yet, here you are.
1504
01:12:18,948 --> 01:12:20,316
Here we are.
1505
01:12:21,550 --> 01:12:23,184
Two imposters.
1506
01:12:25,955 --> 01:12:27,490
Only if we're wrong.
1507
01:13:06,028 --> 01:13:08,263
I get that you like to gamble,
1508
01:13:08,296 --> 01:13:10,566
but what if Joey was right?
1509
01:13:10,599 --> 01:13:12,668
In the end, what if the house
does always win?
1510
01:13:17,540 --> 01:13:19,008
Well, then we raise the stakes
so high
1511
01:13:19,041 --> 01:13:20,509
that we become the house.
1512
01:13:34,957 --> 01:13:36,492
Two hundred grand more.
1513
01:13:36,525 --> 01:13:38,661
You're still upside down
the last hundred.
1514
01:13:38,694 --> 01:13:41,296
Why don't you make it
a personal loan, then?
1515
01:13:41,330 --> 01:13:43,632
Don't do this.
You go upside down this big,
1516
01:13:43,666 --> 01:13:45,468
it don't matter
how much I fucking love you.
1517
01:13:45,501 --> 01:13:47,336
Hey, you ever gambled
yourself, Joey?
1518
01:13:47,369 --> 01:13:49,505
That thumping in your chest
right before that dealer
1519
01:13:49,538 --> 01:13:51,941
turns over your next card?
Anything is possible
1520
01:13:51,974 --> 01:13:53,843
right before that moment.
1521
01:13:53,876 --> 01:13:55,711
Neil, I'm telling you,
1522
01:13:55,745 --> 01:13:58,614
I'm not gonna be here for you
this time if you don't pay off.
1523
01:13:58,647 --> 01:14:00,583
Are you gonna give me
the money or not?
1524
01:14:00,616 --> 01:14:01,650
No.
1525
01:14:04,987 --> 01:14:07,590
-Two hundred?
-Two hundred.
1526
01:14:20,970 --> 01:14:22,404
I know it's bad.
1527
01:14:23,539 --> 01:14:26,809
I just wish you would be honest
and tell me how bad.
1528
01:14:26,842 --> 01:14:28,444
It's... it's... it's fine.
1529
01:14:28,477 --> 01:14:30,311
No. It's not fine
We're not fine.
1530
01:14:30,346 --> 01:14:32,615
None of this is fine, Neil.
1531
01:14:32,648 --> 01:14:34,650
We were fine when we were
on the floor of our home
1532
01:14:34,683 --> 01:14:36,919
in New Jersey, when I was
teaching you even how to read
1533
01:14:36,952 --> 01:14:39,388
those books.
And now, we are broke,
1534
01:14:39,421 --> 01:14:40,990
and you are giving
the guys bonuses!
1535
01:14:41,023 --> 01:14:42,558
Hey. No. Did you sister tell you
1536
01:14:42,591 --> 01:14:44,360
that Buck was the only one
that took it?
1537
01:14:44,393 --> 01:14:46,729
Maybe he was the only one
smart enough to.
1538
01:14:49,098 --> 01:14:51,700
Hey. Hey.
1539
01:14:54,103 --> 01:14:55,437
Come on.
1540
01:14:56,105 --> 01:14:57,606
Just dance with me.
1541
01:15:03,445 --> 01:15:04,713
Oh.
1542
01:15:07,783 --> 01:15:09,585
You stopped dreaming again.
1543
01:15:10,719 --> 01:15:12,822
You did.
1544
01:15:12,855 --> 01:15:14,824
You know what I dream of?
1545
01:15:14,857 --> 01:15:18,460
It's that you're actually here
with us, Neil,
1546
01:15:18,494 --> 01:15:20,129
and not in New York or Las Vegas
1547
01:15:20,162 --> 01:15:22,731
or wherever else
you disappear to
1548
01:15:22,765 --> 01:15:25,334
when you're too afraid
I'll see the truth.
1549
01:15:26,402 --> 01:15:29,405
What do you think the truth is?
1550
01:15:29,438 --> 01:15:32,908
Beth, I love you. Come on.
I'm always with you.
1551
01:15:32,942 --> 01:15:36,712
I'm always with you.
You, the kids,
1552
01:15:36,745 --> 01:15:38,414
you're all I think about.
1553
01:15:40,683 --> 01:15:45,588
You have to know she's going
to end up just as hurt as me.
1554
01:15:48,490 --> 01:15:50,726
I convinced myself for so long
that it was okay
1555
01:15:50,759 --> 01:15:53,162
when I knew that you were
sharing your bed, Neil,
1556
01:15:53,195 --> 01:15:55,598
but you are sharing your heart.
1557
01:15:58,167 --> 01:15:59,602
Tell me I'm wrong.
1558
01:16:09,778 --> 01:16:11,680
It's complicated.
1559
01:16:11,714 --> 01:16:12,715
No.
1560
01:16:13,983 --> 01:16:14,984
It's not.
1561
01:16:17,086 --> 01:16:18,621

-Is that what you gave me?
-That's it right there. Uh-uh.
1571
01:16:45,547 --> 01:16:47,683
Hey, what up, Neil?
Look at the space in here...
1572
01:16:47,716 --> 01:16:49,818
I can't even feel
my lungs anymore.
1573
01:16:49,852 --> 01:16:50,986
Now it's a party.
1574
01:16:51,020 --> 01:16:53,689
George, George, George, George,
if we're gonna sign you,
1575
01:16:53,722 --> 01:16:55,724
you cannot be
your own opening act, alright?
1576
01:16:55,758 --> 01:16:59,495
You are Parliament and
Funkadelic. It's confusing.
1577
01:16:59,528 --> 01:17:01,196
Only on some planets, man.
1578
01:17:01,230 --> 01:17:03,933
See, that's why I need
a motherfucking spaceship,
1579
01:17:03,966 --> 01:17:05,534
so we can leave this Earth.
1580
01:17:05,567 --> 01:17:07,536
When the mothership gets built,
1581
01:17:07,569 --> 01:17:09,972
the connection
between Earth and the galaxy
1582
01:17:10,005 --> 01:17:12,007
is gonna be made,
and everything will be clear.
1583
01:17:12,041 --> 01:17:14,510
I'm trying to tell you,
it'll make sense. You'll see.
1584
01:17:14,543 --> 01:17:16,545
How quickly can you cut us
this new record?
1585
01:17:16,578 --> 01:17:20,115
How quick can you build me
a motherfucking spaceship?
1586
01:17:20,149 --> 01:17:21,650
How much?
1587
01:17:23,118 --> 01:17:25,054
A million
motherfucking dollars.
1588
01:17:25,087 --> 01:17:26,956
Would those be Earth dollars?
1589
01:17:26,989 --> 01:17:29,692
I can't even feel
my bones anymore.
1590
01:17:29,725 --> 01:17:31,226
He's giving me space...
1591
01:17:31,260 --> 01:17:33,595
I know
what you need to do, Neil.
1592
01:17:33,629 --> 01:17:35,097
- It's party time.
- Yeah?
1593
01:17:35,130 --> 01:17:38,500
It's time to fly. I'm gonna need
you to hop on this ride with me.
1594
01:17:38,534 --> 01:17:40,769
If Buck can handle it, so can I.
1595
01:17:40,803 --> 01:17:42,504
You in or you out?
1596
01:17:42,538 --> 01:17:43,973
I didn't start
the heavier drugs
1597
01:17:44,006 --> 01:17:46,842
because of what was going on
between Beth and Joyce.
1598
01:17:46,875 --> 01:17:49,611
Didn't start them
because of what was going wrong
1599
01:17:49,645 --> 01:17:51,246
with KISS and Donna
and Casablanca.
1600
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:52,614
I just...
1601
01:17:54,683 --> 01:17:56,919
I did them because I like...
1602
01:17:56,952 --> 01:17:59,688
I liked how it made me feel.
1603
01:17:59,722 --> 01:18:01,890
Why don't you take
a ride with me, Neil?
1604
01:18:03,292 --> 01:18:05,060
Alright. Let's go, Neil.
It's on you.
1605
01:18:05,094 --> 01:18:06,295
Okay.
1606
01:18:06,329 --> 01:18:07,997
- You ready to go?
- Do it.
1607
01:18:08,030 --> 01:18:10,766
You ready to build us
a spaceship, Neil?
1608
01:18:12,768 --> 01:18:13,736
Fuck it.
1609
01:18:15,738 --> 01:18:18,007
You look like you
like it. I think he likes it.
1610
01:18:23,212 --> 01:18:25,180
Let's build you
a motherfucking spaceship.
1611
01:18:26,915 --> 01:18:28,884
That's what I'm talkin' about.
1612
01:18:28,917 --> 01:18:30,219

and not just for the mothership.
George bought two new tour buses
1645
01:20:02,412 --> 01:20:04,113
and new cars for everyone
in the band.
1646
01:20:04,146 --> 01:20:06,048
Everyone, 28 of them.
1647
01:20:06,081 --> 01:20:08,418
We had Rolls Royces,
Mercedes Benz,
1648
01:20:08,451 --> 01:20:10,719
Jaguars, six Sevilles.
1649
01:20:10,752 --> 01:20:13,722
Everybody got a car,
except for me, motherfucker.
1650
01:20:13,755 --> 01:20:16,291

that came after them.
1655
01:20:24,766 --> 01:20:28,871
They just spent more money
than they ever made,
1656
01:20:28,904 --> 01:20:32,941
and the money just...
kept bleeding.
1657
01:20:45,355 --> 01:20:47,390
That's really beautiful.
I love that.
1658
01:20:47,423 --> 01:20:50,292
Thanks.
They've been making fun of me.
1659
01:20:50,326 --> 01:20:51,894
They don't think
it sounds like KISS.
1660
01:20:51,927 --> 01:20:53,396
Oh, no. Hey.
Hey. Not those.
1661
01:20:53,429 --> 01:20:54,597
Those are the empty shells,
right?
1662
01:20:54,631 --> 01:20:57,367
- Hide them somewhere the back.
- Wait, wait. Empty?
1663
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:58,535
-Yeah.
-Those are empty?
1664
01:20:58,568 --> 01:21:01,036
Yeah. They might just make you
look as big as you sound.
1665
01:21:01,069 --> 01:21:04,806
You know, now you're beginning
to sound just like him.
1666
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:06,842
Bill, is he...
is he serious?
1667
01:21:06,875 --> 01:21:09,244
Guys, uh, give us five.
1668
01:21:13,349 --> 01:21:15,351
-It's a bullshit trick.
-Bill.
1669
01:21:15,385 --> 01:21:17,786
Okay? It's a mirage.
1670
01:21:17,819 --> 01:21:20,923
And it sure as hell
isn't rock and roll, and...
1671
01:21:20,956 --> 01:21:21,957
and...
1672
01:21:22,925 --> 01:21:26,329
and I wish any of that
mattered right now,
1673
01:21:26,362 --> 01:21:27,930
but it just doesn't.
1674
01:21:29,198 --> 01:21:33,936
Nobody's buying our records.
No one's coming to see us play.
1675
01:21:33,969 --> 01:21:36,972
And if an empty speaker cabinet
tricks people into thinking
1676
01:21:37,005 --> 01:21:40,510
that we sound better
because we sound louder...
1677
01:21:40,543 --> 01:21:42,512
If this is what it finally takes
1678
01:21:42,545 --> 01:21:45,814
so that everybody else
feels the way we do...
1679
01:21:46,416 --> 01:21:48,384
what I think is,
1680
01:21:48,418 --> 01:21:50,118
we do what we have to
to survive.
1681
01:21:50,152 --> 01:21:51,987
It's just another part
of the show,
1682
01:21:52,020 --> 01:21:54,424
like the costumes,
the... the make-up.
1683
01:21:54,457 --> 01:21:55,791
No.
1684
01:21:56,992 --> 01:21:57,993
It's not.
1685
01:22:00,295 --> 01:22:01,830
It's a lie.
1686
01:22:03,333 --> 01:22:04,866
About the music.
1687
01:22:13,875 --> 01:22:17,145
We've never lied
about the music.
1688
01:22:17,179 --> 01:22:18,847
Hey, uh,
why don't you, uh...
1689
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:20,949
why don't you sing that song?
1690

you liked it.
1691
01:22:23,018 --> 01:22:26,021
You said you liked it, right?
Sing it. Sing it for him.

Peter wrote it for his wife.
He'll change it back.

01:25:50,593 --> 01:25:51,661
Limo was waiting?
1743
01:25:51,694 --> 01:25:53,061
Yeah, yeah. Like movie stars.
1744
01:25:53,094 --> 01:25:54,262
Your mother loved it.
1745
01:25:56,198 --> 01:25:57,733
Okay. How much you need
this time?
1746
01:25:57,767 --> 01:26:00,001
You got to talk to me
like that? I'm your father.
1747
01:26:00,035 --> 01:26:01,637
You think that's why we
1748
01:26:01,671 --> 01:26:03,539
flew in? I wanted to see
how my son's doing,
1749
01:26:03,573 --> 01:26:05,073
if he's okay.
1750
01:26:05,106 --> 01:26:07,108
What do you need, Pop?
1751
01:26:07,142 --> 01:26:09,479
It's for your mother, okay?
For the foster home.
1752
01:26:09,512 --> 01:26:11,079
She's going nuts.
I don't know.
1753
01:26:11,112 --> 01:26:12,615
Like, ten or something.
1754
01:26:12,648 --> 01:26:15,083
You make it harder than getting
money from loan sharks.
1755
01:26:15,116 --> 01:26:17,720
It's just fucking money.
1756
01:26:17,753 --> 01:26:19,120
What is it you always say?
1757
01:26:19,154 --> 01:26:21,256
Uh, you just got to know
where to find it.
1758
01:26:21,289 --> 01:26:23,459
Like at the card tables?
1759
01:26:23,493 --> 01:26:25,026
I heard things, Neil.
1760
01:26:25,695 --> 01:26:27,663
What are you doing, huh?
1761
01:26:27,697 --> 01:26:30,333
Oh, you know,
just still trying to escape
1762
01:26:30,366 --> 01:26:32,568
-those four God damn blocks!
-What the fuck's
1763
01:26:32,602 --> 01:26:34,069
-the matter with you?
-Hey! Fuck!
1764
01:26:34,102 --> 01:26:35,571
Huh? I raised you to be smart!
1765
01:26:35,605 --> 01:26:38,240
How you gonna be smart
shoving that shit up your nose?
1766
01:26:38,273 --> 01:26:40,543
Come on! I'm talking to you!
1767
01:26:40,576 --> 01:26:41,811
How you gonna know
when you're hot,
1768
01:26:41,844 --> 01:26:43,579
when to bet big, when to fold?
1769
01:26:43,613 --> 01:26:46,482
You can't even decide who you
want in your fucking bed!
1770
01:26:47,583 --> 01:26:49,184
I have everything under control.
1771
01:26:49,217 --> 01:26:51,186
Doesn't look that way.
1772
01:26:51,219 --> 01:26:54,055
You've lost the music, kiddo.
1773
01:26:54,089 --> 01:26:57,092
Hey. You understand?
1774
01:26:59,662 --> 01:27:01,229
Is there anything else you need?
1775
01:27:09,839 --> 01:27:11,807
Hey, you don't think
you could have made it
1776
01:27:11,841 --> 01:27:13,275
using your real name?
1777
01:27:16,445 --> 01:27:17,547
Bogart is my real name.
1778
01:27:23,319 --> 01:27:24,286
Sure.
1779
01:27:47,710 --> 01:27:49,311
Tell me what I'm supposed to do.
1780
01:27:51,212 --> 01:27:53,316
Just keep dancing, Neil.
1781
01:27:54,383 --> 01:27:57,252
Always was the one thing
you were best at.
1782
01:28:00,389 --> 01:28:02,190
I did always love
the way you moved.
1783
01:28:02,223 --> 01:28:04,460
No. Just... I'm...
I'm asking you.
1784
01:28:04,493 --> 01:28:06,194
Just tell me
what I'm supposed to do.
1785
01:28:06,227 --> 01:28:08,196
Go and say goodbye to your kids.
1786
01:28:11,232 --> 01:28:12,768
That's what you're
supposed to do.
1787
01:28:18,741 --> 01:28:20,443
You're breaking my heart.
1788
01:28:22,912 --> 01:28:24,747
Hurts like hell, doesn't it?
1789
01:28:39,194 --> 01:28:41,397
She won't even put them
on the phone.
1790
01:28:42,398 --> 01:28:43,332
My kids.
1791
01:28:48,604 --> 01:28:49,772
My kids.
1792
01:28:57,413 --> 01:28:59,849
I don't know how to stand up.
1793
01:28:59,882 --> 01:29:01,917
I'm just... I'm sitting here,
1794
01:29:01,951 --> 01:29:05,388
and I don't...
I don't know how to get up.
1795
01:29:17,298 --> 01:29:19,769
Hey, you can almost see
Brooklyn from here.
1796
01:29:32,515 --> 01:29:33,549
This is bullshit.
1797
01:29:33,582 --> 01:29:35,785
There isn't a thing that you
have ever asked for
1798
01:29:35,818 --> 01:29:37,252
that I haven't given you,
1799
01:29:37,285 --> 01:29:38,921
and you know
exactly how expensive it is
1800
01:29:38,954 --> 01:29:40,589
to keep you on tour
and in the studio!
1801
01:29:40,623 --> 01:29:42,692
Let's seriously talk about
releasing "Beth," okay...
1802
01:29:42,725 --> 01:29:44,827
No. No, no, no! We're not
releasing that shit. No.
1803
01:29:44,860 --> 01:29:46,429
...cross us over
into mainstream radio.
1804
01:29:46,462 --> 01:29:48,397
-It's not who we are.
-Nobody knows who you are,
1805
01:29:48,431 --> 01:29:50,332
which is why you're not making
any fucking money!
1806
01:29:50,366 --> 01:29:52,702
Isn't that your job? Huh?
To get them to know? And yours?
1807
01:29:52,735 --> 01:29:55,438
Or is that not the kinda pillow
talk you two like to talk?
1808
01:29:55,471 --> 01:29:56,605
- Jesus, Paul.
- What?
1809
01:29:56,639 --> 01:29:58,708
I'm just saying what everyone's
fucking thinking, man.
1810
01:29:58,741 --> 01:30:01,844
- No. Let him say it.
- It's just the truth.
1811
01:30:01,877 --> 01:30:02,978
You're our manager,
1812
01:30:03,012 --> 01:30:05,581
and you are fucking
the president
1813
01:30:05,614 --> 01:30:06,749
of our record company.
1814
01:30:08,751 --> 01:30:10,519
You're right. That is the truth,
1815
01:30:10,553 --> 01:30:12,455
which you didn't seem to mind
when you asked me
1816
01:30:12,488 --> 01:30:15,391
to give him your demo.
You didn't mind either, Bill,
1817
01:30:15,424 --> 01:30:17,526
when you begged me
to convince Neil to sign us
1818
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:20,529
even though Warner Brothers
begged him not to.
1819
01:30:20,563 --> 01:30:22,698
Or when you asked me
to get us on tour, Paul,
1820
01:30:22,732 --> 01:30:24,800
and keep us on tour.
1821
01:30:24,834 --> 01:30:27,770
You were all just fine asking me
to roll over on my pillow
1822
01:30:27,803 --> 01:30:30,539
and talk to the president
of your record company then.
1823
01:30:31,607 --> 01:30:32,608
Yes.
1824
01:30:32,641 --> 01:30:35,745
I am your manager,
1825
01:30:35,778 --> 01:30:38,547
and you know just how lucky
you are that I am,
1826
01:30:38,581 --> 01:30:40,649
because if I wasn't, you'd
still be trying to figure out
1827
01:30:40,683 --> 01:30:42,718
how to wear your mom's makeup,
'cause I taught you
1828
01:30:42,752 --> 01:30:43,819
how to do that, too.
1829
01:30:44,787 --> 01:30:47,389
Who I love is my business.
1830
01:30:47,423 --> 01:30:48,991
Your business is to make
the damn music.
1831
01:30:49,024 --> 01:30:50,359
-That's your job!
-No, no, no.
1832
01:30:50,392 --> 01:30:51,427
-Start doing it.
-No.
1833
01:30:51,460 --> 01:30:53,496
It doesn't matter how we got
here. This is real.
1834
01:30:53,529 --> 01:30:55,531
This is happening. This is
happening right fucking now.
1835
01:30:55,564 --> 01:30:58,501
-Tell them, Bill.
-You really want us to be
1836
01:30:58,534 --> 01:31:00,469
the hottest band in the world?
1837
01:31:01,737 --> 01:31:04,039
He better start paying us
like we already are.
1838
01:31:04,073 --> 01:31:05,441
There he is.
1839
01:31:06,408 --> 01:31:08,043
There he is, folks,
1840
01:31:08,077 --> 01:31:09,310
Chaim Witz,
1841
01:31:09,345 --> 01:31:11,514
the demon
of rock and roll. Oh!
1842
01:31:11,547 --> 01:31:14,049
You want some
real money, Gene?
1843
01:31:14,083 --> 01:31:16,485
You want some real money?
1844
01:31:16,519 --> 01:31:18,420
Well, then you go out there
1845
01:31:18,454 --> 01:31:20,823
and you write
us a fucking song
1846
01:31:20,856 --> 01:31:23,893
that will actually
make us some!
1847
01:31:23,926 --> 01:31:25,027
- No, no, no.
- Wow!
1848
01:31:25,060 --> 01:31:27,396
-No, no, no, no, no.
-Fuck you.
1849
01:31:27,429 --> 01:31:29,064
You don't make it about them.
Not this time.
1850
01:31:29,098 --> 01:31:31,567
- Bill.
- Uh-uh. I am sorry.
1851
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:35,571
We are renegotiating right
now, or we're leaving.
1852
01:31:39,708 --> 01:31:41,076
Bill.
1853
01:31:41,110 --> 01:31:43,846
Okay. Okay.
1854
01:31:47,049 --> 01:31:50,019
How much?
1855
01:31:50,052 --> 01:31:51,654
A million dollars an album.
1856
01:31:55,024 --> 01:31:56,892
And another million
in tour support.
1857
01:31:58,127 --> 01:32:00,496
You want
two million dollars an album
1858
01:32:00,529 --> 01:32:03,399
for a band that can't sell
a... a fucking single?
1859
01:32:05,701 --> 01:32:09,905
I want two million dollars an
album for KISS.
1860
01:32:09,939 --> 01:32:10,940
Bill.
1861
01:32:20,182 --> 01:32:21,884
Okay. Fucking fine. Deal.
1862
01:32:24,620 --> 01:32:25,621
We finished?
1863
01:32:31,093 --> 01:32:32,828
It's just business.
1864
01:32:32,862 --> 01:32:34,096
It's nothing personal.
1865
01:32:34,129 --> 01:32:36,599
Of course it is,
and you fucking know it.
1866
01:32:39,201 --> 01:32:40,569
It's okay.
1867
01:33:11,834 --> 01:33:14,169
And now, ladies
and gentlemen,
1868
01:33:14,203 --> 01:33:17,706
here's Johnny!
1869
01:33:17,740 --> 01:33:21,076
Here he is, Lenny Bruce!
1870
01:33:21,110 --> 01:33:22,645
Maybe you should slow down
a little.
1871
01:33:22,678 --> 01:33:24,079
Maybe you should speed up
a lot.
1872
01:33:27,216 --> 01:33:30,085
Hey! I love Lenny Bruce.
1873
01:33:30,119 --> 01:33:33,055
Did you know that he was 40
when he died?
1874
01:33:33,088 --> 01:33:34,957
You think it was worth it,
dying so young
1875
01:33:34,990 --> 01:33:37,526
but then having
all that success?
1876
01:33:37,559 --> 01:33:41,063
No. I think dying old
and having all that success
1877
01:33:41,096 --> 01:33:43,132
would be worth it.
1878
01:33:43,165 --> 01:33:44,867
You promised our distributors
a sure thing
1879
01:33:44,900 --> 01:33:47,937
so they'll keep letting us ride
on everything else.
1880
01:33:47,970 --> 01:33:49,171
Well, it's Johnny Carson.
1881
01:33:49,204 --> 01:33:51,640
It is a sure thing.
1882
01:33:51,674 --> 01:33:56,011
Besides, a bet is only a bet
if it matters.
1883
01:34:03,652 --> 01:34:05,487
It's a wedding night,
1884
01:34:05,521 --> 01:34:07,957
and you're both virgins.
It's disgusting.
1885
01:34:07,990 --> 01:34:09,458
Abe, Abe...
1886
01:34:10,693 --> 01:34:13,696
You don't mean that.
No, because it's me, Abe,
1887
01:34:13,729 --> 01:34:15,631
because you've always trusted..
1888
01:34:18,701 --> 01:34:20,636
-Talk to me.
-They're not waiting for Carson.
1889
01:34:20,669 --> 01:34:21,971
-What?
-They're returning
1890
01:34:22,004 --> 01:34:24,573
all the unsold KISS albums
and Donna and Parliament.
1891
01:34:24,606 --> 01:34:25,641
-Everything.
-That's
1892
01:34:25,674 --> 01:34:27,843
-too many fucking records, man.
-No shit, Buck.
1893
01:34:27,876 --> 01:34:29,878
-What do we do?
-We take 'em back,
1894
01:34:29,912 --> 01:34:31,847
but you tell
every single fucking one of them
1895
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,016
if they do,
they don't get Carson!
1896
01:34:34,049 --> 01:34:35,851
Neil. Neil!
1897
01:34:35,884 --> 01:34:36,652
What?
1898
01:34:38,620 --> 01:34:40,789
What if we're wrong
about Carson?
1899
01:34:40,823 --> 01:34:43,726
I mean,
we're shipping gold. More.
1900
01:34:43,759 --> 01:34:46,662
Over 750,000 copies already.
1901
01:34:46,695 --> 01:34:47,930
And with the money
we're spending
1902
01:34:47,963 --> 01:34:49,832
on... on commercials
and... and print ads...
1903
01:34:49,865 --> 01:34:53,135
-It's Johnny fucking Carson!
-And nobody understands
1904
01:34:53,168 --> 01:34:55,004
why the hell
we're even doing it!
1905
01:34:55,037 --> 01:34:56,672
Then ship more!
1906
01:34:56,705 --> 01:34:58,874
Spend more! Do you job
and make them understand!
1907
01:34:58,907 --> 01:35:00,876
This is gonna be
the biggest fucking album
1908
01:35:00,909 --> 01:35:02,611
of the year, okay, folks?
1909
01:35:02,644 --> 01:35:03,912
You've lost your mind.
1910
01:35:03,946 --> 01:35:06,215
Did you not hear
what they said on the phone?
1911
01:35:06,248 --> 01:35:08,117
And they're on our fucking side!
1912
01:35:08,150 --> 01:35:10,886
-Nobody is on our fucking side.
-Because nobody understands
1913
01:35:10,919 --> 01:35:13,889
what the fuck
you're doing anymore!
1914
01:35:13,922 --> 01:35:15,657
Not even me!
1915
01:35:17,593 --> 01:35:20,029
We were wrong
about KISS, Neil,
1916
01:35:20,062 --> 01:35:22,297
and we were wrong about Donna.
1917
01:35:22,332 --> 01:35:24,900
Even George
and his fucking spaceship.
1918
01:35:25,934 --> 01:35:28,637
We were just wrong!
1919
01:35:28,670 --> 01:35:32,174
And here we are, still betting
money we don't even have
1920
01:35:32,207 --> 01:35:33,909
on them!
1921
01:35:33,942 --> 01:35:35,544
I can't even pay my...
1922
01:35:37,079 --> 01:35:38,580
If we're wrong about Carson...
1923
01:35:38,614 --> 01:35:41,216
We are not fucking wrong, Cec,
1924
01:35:41,250 --> 01:35:42,951
not about any of them.
1925
01:35:43,819 --> 01:35:46,055
We just haven't figured out
1926
01:35:46,088 --> 01:35:48,891
a way to finally be right!
1927
01:35:50,393 --> 01:35:52,061
-What the hell's happening?
1928
01:35:52,094 --> 01:35:54,830
I dared question the postman's
son from Brooklyn,
1929
01:35:54,863 --> 01:35:56,265
and he didn't like
what he heard.
1930
01:35:56,298 --> 01:35:57,400
Oh, is that right, Cec?
1931
01:35:57,434 --> 01:35:59,868
Is that the same postman's son
been carrying your ass
1932
01:35:59,902 --> 01:36:02,271
from nowhere to somewhere
your whole fucking career?
1933
01:36:02,304 --> 01:36:03,238
-Excuse me?
-Tell me this.
1934
01:36:03,272 --> 01:36:05,007
Did you believe
we would make it this far?
1935
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:06,942
Now, be honest.
Do you believe that we could
1936
01:36:06,975 --> 01:36:09,778
actually go further?
So, you do your fucking job,
1937
01:36:09,812 --> 01:36:12,247
and I will go get
the fucking money!
1938
01:36:12,281 --> 01:36:13,715
Uh...
1939
01:36:17,753 --> 01:36:19,955
He didn't mean that.
1940
01:36:19,988 --> 01:36:21,990
Cec. Shit.
1941
01:36:22,024 --> 01:36:24,693
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
1942
01:36:24,726 --> 01:36:28,597
here's Johnny!
1943
01:36:31,300 --> 01:36:33,302
The Carson album's
still considered
1944
01:36:33,336 --> 01:36:35,204
one of the biggest disasters
ever conceived
1945
01:36:35,237 --> 01:36:36,473
in the record business.
1946
01:36:36,506 --> 01:36:39,375
The joke was that we'd shipped
gold but returned platinum.
1947
01:36:39,409 --> 01:36:41,377
Just... wasn't a joke.
1948
01:36:41,411 --> 01:36:42,911
We'd given away
so many promo copies
1949
01:36:42,945 --> 01:36:45,013
that when the stores started
returning them to get
1950
01:36:45,047 --> 01:36:47,983
their money back, we were
on the line for every last one,
1951
01:36:48,016 --> 01:36:50,119
and it was killing us,
1952
01:36:50,152 --> 01:36:52,788
killing us, because I was wrong.
1953
01:36:53,822 --> 01:36:56,326
Biggest sin of a record man...
1954
01:36:56,359 --> 01:36:58,760
believing in something
because you have to...
1955
01:37:00,430 --> 01:37:01,997
not because you do.
1956
01:37:08,871 --> 01:37:11,773
I fucking begged you
to pay back that money, Neil.
1957
01:37:11,807 --> 01:37:13,876
You kept sayin',
"Waiting for Carson."
1958
01:37:13,909 --> 01:37:15,811
And I convinced them to wait,
1959
01:37:15,844 --> 01:37:18,013
because this is me and you,
1960
01:37:18,046 --> 01:37:19,882
but they're done waiting.
1961
01:37:19,915 --> 01:37:21,150
I'm sorry.
1962
01:37:21,183 --> 01:37:24,420
It's okay, Joe. Just tell them
1963
01:37:24,454 --> 01:37:26,788
not the arm
I sign contracts with.
1964
01:37:30,826 --> 01:37:33,128
I remembered my dad,
1965
01:37:33,162 --> 01:37:34,330
remembered my promise
1966
01:37:34,364 --> 01:37:36,432
to never become
anything like him.
1967
01:37:36,466 --> 01:37:40,135
I just... can't remember
the exact moment when I did.
1968
01:37:42,070 --> 01:37:43,805
Egg cream?
1969
01:37:47,477 --> 01:37:50,413
Just get us
the fucking money, Neil.
1970
01:37:50,446 --> 01:37:51,914
I fucking hate LA.
1971
01:37:58,454 --> 01:38:00,155
- Jesus.
- Neil!
1972
01:38:00,189 --> 01:38:01,190
Jesus.
1973
01:38:02,425 --> 01:38:06,195
It's not that he was a postman.
It's just...
1974
01:38:06,228 --> 01:38:08,398
I knew that he knew
that's all he was ever gonna be.
1975
01:38:12,834 --> 01:38:14,236
-Here.
-I'm scared.
1976
01:38:14,269 --> 01:38:16,271
-Come on. Shh.
-I'm scared.
1977
01:38:16,305 --> 01:38:19,808
Shh. Just our little secret,
brother.
1978
01:38:26,416 --> 01:38:28,183
Can we get something
to clean him up?
1979
01:38:29,785 --> 01:38:31,487
-You want a cigarette?
-You're alright.
1980
01:38:31,521 --> 01:38:33,389
It's okay.
1981
01:38:33,423 --> 01:38:34,823
Okay. Come on.
1982
01:38:34,856 --> 01:38:36,492
Get him up. Walk it off.
Walk it off.
1983
01:38:36,526 --> 01:38:37,893
Oh, fuck.
1984
01:38:39,061 --> 01:38:40,229
-Come on.
-Fuck.
1985
01:38:58,514 --> 01:39:00,882
If we can't sell enough KISS
records on our own,
1986
01:39:00,916 --> 01:39:03,085
then folks,
we are gonna need an army.
1987
01:39:03,118 --> 01:39:06,788
-It's merchandise, Nelly.
-It's a movement, Nance.
1988
01:39:06,822 --> 01:39:08,790
I love KISS, but how the fuck
are we gonna get people
1989
01:39:08,824 --> 01:39:11,260
to buy shit about the album
and we can't even get them
1990
01:39:11,293 --> 01:39:12,362
to buy the fucking album?
1991
01:39:12,395 --> 01:39:14,530
Because KISS has always been
about the experience,
1992
01:39:14,564 --> 01:39:16,399
Buck, and that is where
we have failed.
1993
01:39:16,432 --> 01:39:18,000
If you're not in
the KISS Army, oh,
1994
01:39:18,033 --> 01:39:19,435
then you are not
in the KISS Army!
1995
01:39:19,469 --> 01:39:21,337
You don't get
the limited edition posters,
1996
01:39:21,371 --> 01:39:22,538
the signed T-shirts,
the comic books!
1997
01:39:22,572 --> 01:39:27,075
-So we have comic books now?
-Yes, created specifically
1998
01:39:27,109 --> 01:39:28,110
for the KISS Army,
1999
01:39:28,143 --> 01:39:30,546
and the only way to get
into the KISS Army...
2000
01:39:30,580 --> 01:39:32,247
- Is to buy their albums.
- Thank you.
2001
01:39:32,281 --> 01:39:34,417
Now, we have one very important
question to answer:
2002
01:39:34,450 --> 01:39:36,586
What color do we paint
the building?
2003
01:39:36,619 --> 01:39:38,887
Hundred bucks to whoever gets
the... the best color.
2004
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:42,291
Okay. Can we just, um...
Can we just get a minute?
2005
01:39:42,325 --> 01:39:43,959
Thank you. Thank you so much.
2006
01:39:43,992 --> 01:39:45,994
What about black?
Can you imagine
2007
01:39:46,028 --> 01:39:49,298
the whole fucking block
was painted fucking black?
2008
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:51,900
-No, I can't.
-Oh.
2009
01:39:51,933 --> 01:39:54,036
Neil, you are my brother,
2010
01:39:54,069 --> 01:39:55,937
and if you want me to go
off this cliff with you,
2011
01:39:55,971 --> 01:39:57,239
I'll even be the first to jump,
2012
01:39:57,272 --> 01:40:01,076
but you have got to help me
understand why.
2013
01:40:01,109 --> 01:40:04,447
-We are broke.
-Yes. Yes. That is exactly
2014
01:40:04,480 --> 01:40:06,181
what all of these fuckers
are saying.
2015
01:40:06,214 --> 01:40:08,984
So, by tomorrow,
I want an entire crew...
2016
01:40:09,017 --> 01:40:11,920
no, two crews outside,
painting the entire block,
2017
01:40:11,953 --> 01:40:13,889
and I want you to pay them extra
to do it slowly.
2018
01:40:13,922 --> 01:40:15,857
The longer
they're out there working, oh,
2019
01:40:15,891 --> 01:40:19,194
the longer people are just
gonna drive by and see 'em.
2020
01:40:19,227 --> 01:40:21,364
-See 'em doing what?
-Painting the building.
2021
01:40:22,931 --> 01:40:24,534
We're gonna place one
final bet.
2022
01:40:24,567 --> 01:40:25,901
On who?
2023
01:40:26,536 --> 01:40:27,936
On us.
2024
01:40:29,938 --> 01:40:31,907
It started with a makeover
of the building,
2025
01:40:31,940 --> 01:40:34,344
but to the town, we were
building our own makeover.
2026
01:40:34,377 --> 01:40:36,346
I mean, every day,
we'd announce a new promotion,
2027
01:40:36,379 --> 01:40:38,880
but in real life, we were
just swapping titles around
2028
01:40:38,914 --> 01:40:41,249
like the paint colors
of the building.
2029
01:40:41,283 --> 01:40:43,985
We called everyone we owed,
hyped every plan we had,
2030
01:40:44,019 --> 01:40:45,954
making most of it up
as we went along.
2031
01:40:45,987 --> 01:40:47,457
-We made them root for us...
-Mo.
2032
01:40:47,490 --> 01:40:49,024
...not against us.
2033
01:40:49,057 --> 01:40:51,093
Where the fuck
is all the money coming from?
2034
01:40:51,126 --> 01:40:53,629
Nowhere. There was none.
We... we just made everyone
2035
01:40:53,663 --> 01:40:56,264
believe there was.
We bet everything we had
2036
01:40:56,298 --> 01:40:59,101

we already believed in.

01:43:31,219 --> 01:43:33,188
Was, uh, Neil Scott
when I was a singer,
2082
01:43:33,221 --> 01:43:36,124
Neil Stewart when I worked
for a modeling agency,
2083
01:43:36,157 --> 01:43:40,329
uh, Wayne Roberts
when I did a soft porn film.
2084
01:43:41,430 --> 01:43:42,365
You made pornography?
2085
01:43:42,398 --> 01:43:45,535
Well, to afford
my wife's engagement ring.
2086
01:43:45,568 --> 01:43:47,135
Okay.
So, you did a dirty film
2087
01:43:47,168 --> 01:43:48,838
so that you could ask
your wife to marry you?
2088
01:43:48,871 --> 01:43:52,207
The point of the... Yes.
The point of the story
2089
01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:55,344
is that we can be
whoever we want to be.
2090
01:43:55,378 --> 01:43:58,280
Hmm. Well, that may be the point
of your story, but not mine.
2091
01:43:58,313 --> 01:44:01,717
It's the point
of everyone's story, LaDonna,
2092
01:44:01,751 --> 01:44:03,319
especially yours.
2093
01:44:05,354 --> 01:44:07,222
Why didn't people like the song?
2094
01:44:08,824 --> 01:44:11,192
-I liked it.
-No. I mean, why didn't...
2095
01:44:11,226 --> 01:44:13,362
No. I... I know
what you meant. I...
2096
01:44:15,865 --> 01:44:18,166
And the answer
is that they didn't get it,
2097
01:44:18,199 --> 01:44:20,235
because I failed to get them to.
2098
01:44:22,304 --> 01:44:24,373
So, then why are you here?
Giorgio told me
2099
01:44:24,407 --> 01:44:26,842
that he wanted me to cut
the same song again.
2100
01:44:26,876 --> 01:44:29,244
-I don't understand.
-You don't have to, okay?
2101
01:44:29,277 --> 01:44:31,447
You just have to trust
that I do.
2102
01:44:31,480 --> 01:44:32,782
I don't even know you.
2103
01:44:32,815 --> 01:44:34,817
But I know you,
2104
01:44:34,850 --> 01:44:38,854
LaDonna... Adrian... Gaines.
2105
01:44:38,888 --> 01:44:40,690
Grew up singing in a choir.
2106
01:44:40,723 --> 01:44:43,326
Raised by your mom in Boston.
2107
01:44:45,226 --> 01:44:48,196
You heard your voice
raising all the way up
2108
01:44:48,229 --> 01:44:49,865
to the top
of those stained glass windows,
2109
01:44:49,899 --> 01:44:53,336
and you let yourself believe
that you could be more
2110
01:44:53,369 --> 01:44:56,472
than just that girl in a church.
2111
01:44:56,505 --> 01:44:57,673
And now, here you are,
2112
01:44:57,707 --> 01:44:59,342
performing
halfway across the world,
2113
01:44:59,375 --> 01:45:03,546
getting further and further away
from that stained glass.
2114
01:45:05,881 --> 01:45:07,416
And every night...
2115
01:45:09,250 --> 01:45:12,187
you close your eyes,
2116
01:45:12,220 --> 01:45:16,626
dreaming that maybe someone
will come along...
2117
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:20,261
and give you one last chance.
2118
01:45:23,231 --> 01:45:25,768
Now, you tell me I'm wrong,
2119
01:45:25,801 --> 01:45:27,436
and I'm on the next plane.
2120
01:45:32,875 --> 01:45:34,209
Why me?
2121
01:45:36,244 --> 01:45:38,714
Because I have never heard
2122
01:45:38,748 --> 01:45:42,250
a voice like yours.
2123
01:45:46,789 --> 01:45:48,491
I will make you a star.
2124

I wanna do this again.

01:46:00,703 --> 01:46:02,672
I just...
Go back from the top.
2128
01:46:02,705 --> 01:46:04,272
It's impossible!
2129
01:46:04,305 --> 01:46:07,810
Repeat the same eight measures
over and over again?
2130
01:46:07,843 --> 01:46:09,345
It's just one lyric, Neil!
2131
01:46:09,378 --> 01:46:11,279
Yeah, which is going sound
like something new
2132
01:46:11,312 --> 01:46:12,748
each time she sings it,
2133
01:46:12,782 --> 01:46:14,684
when she sings it right.
2134
01:46:14,717 --> 01:46:16,852
This music is about the music,
2135
01:46:16,886 --> 01:46:18,487
not the fucking vocal!
2136
01:46:18,521 --> 01:46:20,623
Her fucking vocal
is the music, Giorgio!
2137
01:46:20,656 --> 01:46:22,758
Her voice is the thing that's
gonna make people wanna dance,
2138
01:46:22,792 --> 01:46:24,827
and nobody wants to dance for
three minutes, alright?
2139
01:46:24,860 --> 01:46:27,563
People wanna to dance forever!
And when they're making love,
2140
01:46:27,596 --> 01:46:28,664
they wanna love forever!
2141
01:46:28,698 --> 01:46:31,534
Nobody could make a fucking
half-hour song, Neil!
2142
01:46:32,601 --> 01:46:33,602
Not even you!
2143
01:46:35,004 --> 01:46:36,839
Neil could make
a half-hour song.
2144
01:46:40,743 --> 01:46:42,878
-Hey, you okay?
-I don't know. You just got
2145
01:46:42,912 --> 01:46:45,948
Giorgio to leave his own studio.
You tell me.
2146
01:46:45,981 --> 01:46:47,750

To escape, Donna. That is

2157
01:47:35,498 --> 01:47:37,500
In the discos,
on the dance floors,

they want
to fucking escape, alright?

Frankie Crocker,
you cranky fucker.
2195
01:49:51,533 --> 01:49:52,935
Fuck the commercials!
2196
01:49:52,968 --> 01:49:55,471
Fuck the commercials, man.
It's a test. It's science.
2197
01:49:55,504 --> 01:49:57,506
Let's test it out on the... Whas
your name again?
2198
01:49:57,539 --> 01:49:58,774
-Shari.
-Shari. That's my mother's name.
2199
01:49:58,807 --> 01:50:01,777
Come on. Come on. This is
something new, Frankie, right?
2200
01:50:01,810 --> 01:50:04,179
She's explosive.
She's... she's dangerous,
2201
01:50:04,213 --> 01:50:06,548
and you, my friend, can be
the one to introduce her
2202
01:50:06,582 --> 01:50:08,484
-to the world.
-We already introduced
2203
01:50:08,517 --> 01:50:10,586
this fucking single,
and it didn't move shit.
2204
01:50:10,619 --> 01:50:12,187
No, we did not introduce her
to the world.
2205
01:50:12,221 --> 01:50:13,756
That was
a different fucking record.
2206
01:50:13,789 --> 01:50:15,925
That was not this record.
This is different.
2207
01:50:15,958 --> 01:50:17,660
This is... this is new.
2208
01:50:17,693 --> 01:50:19,662
I mean, we were right
about this girl.
2209
01:50:19,695 --> 01:50:21,897
-She's amazing.
-You listen to the man, Frank.
2210
01:50:21,931 --> 01:50:24,800
And what does that mean?
I'm right about a lot of shit
2211
01:50:24,833 --> 01:50:26,435
I don't put on the radio.
2212
01:50:27,970 --> 01:50:31,040
This may be Casablanca's
last fucking chance, Frankie.
2213
01:50:33,676 --> 01:50:37,813
Neil, it's 17 minutes long,
alright? I can't...
2214
01:50:37,846 --> 01:50:38,981
How do I explain that?
2215
01:50:42,017 --> 01:50:43,585
Handcuffs.
2216
01:50:44,620 --> 01:50:47,690
Frankie.... I brought mine.
2217
01:50:47,723 --> 01:50:49,491
Now, you ain't had those
last night.
2218
01:50:49,525 --> 01:50:52,561
-I didn't need them last night.
-Hey, how about you take
2219
01:50:52,594 --> 01:50:54,964
a bathroom break, Frankie?
We'll take over from here.
2220
01:50:54,997 --> 01:50:56,031
-Come on.
-Whoo!
2221
01:50:56,065 --> 01:50:57,533
I gotta be
out of my fucking mind.
2222
01:50:57,566 --> 01:50:59,168
-You're in your mind.
-You're about to be
2223
01:50:59,201 --> 01:51:01,770
out your pants.
2224
01:51:01,804 --> 01:51:03,739
You motherfuckers
gonna owe me one.
2225
01:51:03,772 --> 01:51:05,708
Looks like you got two,
motherfucker.
2226
01:51:29,665 --> 01:51:31,767
Sixteen minutes and 50 seconds.
2227
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:33,569
With the record
glued to the turntable,
2228
01:51:33,602 --> 01:51:35,671
it played all night long
with Frankie still locked
2229
01:51:35,704 --> 01:51:37,806
in the bathroom.
Lawyers were calling
2230
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:39,308
even before we landed
back in LA,
2231
01:51:39,342 --> 01:51:42,144
swearing they'd never play
a Casablanca record again,
2232
01:51:42,177 --> 01:51:46,048
except... something happened,
2233
01:51:46,081 --> 01:51:47,950
something that never had before.
2234
01:51:47,983 --> 01:51:50,619
Not just in New York.
Stations all across the country
2235
01:51:50,652 --> 01:51:52,888
are calling. Everybody's trying
to find a way to play her.
2236
01:51:52,921 --> 01:51:54,790
-Tell them I'll buy them all.
-Buy what all?
2237
01:51:54,823 --> 01:51:57,126
-The whole half-hour block.
-On every station.
2238
01:51:57,159 --> 01:51:58,827
-Every city.
-The ad campaign:

That voice, the way Donna
would just flow inside you,
2322
01:56:46,048 --> 01:56:49,251
that came from something
far more inventive than me,

Let's replace Gladys with Donna.
2327
01:56:56,626 --> 01:56:58,293
And suddenly,
for the first time,
2328
01:56:58,328 --> 01:57:01,597
it wasn't just breaking one hit,
because once Donna broke,
2329

the hits
just never stopped coming.

we'd did wrong, too.

Recording a live album
of greatest hits
2332
01:57:12,007 --> 01:57:13,509
from a band
who doesn't even have one?
2333
01:57:13,543 --> 01:57:16,612
-That's new, Neil, even for us.
-Hey, they've always had hits.
2334
01:57:16,646 --> 01:57:18,414
We just failed to record them
in the way
2335
01:57:18,448 --> 01:57:20,650
they needed to be heard.
2336
01:57:20,683 --> 01:57:22,250
By recording KISS live,
2337
01:57:22,284 --> 01:57:27,189
we finally captured
the experience of KISS live...
2338
01:57:27,222 --> 01:57:30,058
which is what we'd really been
chasing from the very beginning.
2339
01:57:30,092 --> 01:57:32,928
Turned out, we'd been right
about them, too.
2340
01:57:35,163 --> 01:57:37,433
We sold
over nine million records.
2341
01:57:37,467 --> 01:57:38,967
Every bet we'd made,
2342
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:40,936
we were right about all of them.
2343
01:57:40,969 --> 01:57:43,639
We just... needed enough time
2344
01:57:43,673 --> 01:57:46,542

to catch up to us.

No. No. That is too much.
2355
01:58:16,739 --> 01:58:19,675
I can only do all this
because you taught me.
2356
01:58:19,709 --> 01:58:21,711
Who taught you?
I taught you nothing.
2357
01:58:21,744 --> 01:58:24,647
-Taught you how to lose.
-No, you taught me how to win.
2358
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:26,649
You taught me
to swing for the trees,
2359
01:58:26,682 --> 01:58:29,284
to bet big to win big.
You remember?
2360
01:58:30,386 --> 01:58:31,454
You taught me how to dream!
2361
01:58:34,724 --> 01:58:36,291
Maybe a little bit.
2362
01:58:36,325 --> 01:58:39,562
No. Maybe a lot.
2363

just a little unlucky.
2364
01:58:48,036 --> 01:58:50,205
Right? Well, I got your luck.
2365
01:58:52,608 --> 01:58:55,445
Ah. Nah.
2366
01:58:55,478 --> 01:58:57,447

02:01:12,882 --> 02:01:15,283
We sold half the company

02:01:35,605 --> 02:01:39,575
Fifty million dollars
for just half the company,
2424
02:01:39,609 --> 02:01:43,211
made out to Neil Bogart,
2425
02:01:43,244 --> 02:01:46,415
a name and a life
I'd made up along the way.
2426
02:01:49,250 --> 02:01:52,220
Even paid Mo back every penny.
2427
02:01:52,253 --> 02:01:55,290
Not because I had to,
but because I could.
2428
02:02:30,660 --> 02:02:32,862
My dad had been right.
2429
02:02:32,895 --> 02:02:34,330
Most were all still there
2430
02:02:34,363 --> 02:02:36,799
on the same four blocks
of their lives.
2431
02:02:52,715 --> 02:02:54,517
For those of you who don't know,
2432
02:02:54,550 --> 02:02:59,254
I left Casablanca finally
on February 8, 1980.
2433
02:02:59,287 --> 02:03:01,323
It was a Friday.
2434
02:03:01,357 --> 02:03:03,859
It was five days
after my 37th birthday.
2435
02:03:03,893 --> 02:03:06,629
Now, disco had officially died
the year before when a local DJ
2436
02:03:06,662 --> 02:03:09,230
set a bunch of records on fire
to the roar of a crowd
2437
02:03:09,264 --> 02:03:12,968
as if that was
a fucking concert.
2438
02:03:13,002 --> 02:03:15,337
Yeah. It was a good bet
most of those were ours.
2439
02:03:18,273 --> 02:03:20,342
Now, all of you remember,
I'm sure,
2440
02:03:20,376 --> 02:03:23,813
Donna and KISS and George,
2441
02:03:23,846 --> 02:03:25,815
Village People, Gladys,
2442
02:03:25,848 --> 02:03:27,483
the Isleys, Bill Withers,
2443
02:03:27,516 --> 02:03:28,551
all the others.
2444
02:03:30,352 --> 02:03:32,287
But I bet each of you $100...
2445
02:03:33,489 --> 02:03:36,759
that not one of you
has ever even heard of my name.
2446
02:03:36,792 --> 02:03:39,462
And that's okay. It's not like
I had the talent that they did,
2447
02:03:39,495 --> 02:03:42,031
because I didn't, you know,
2448
02:03:42,064 --> 02:03:45,835
or that I... or that I mattered
like they did,
2449
02:03:45,868 --> 02:03:49,739
because, uh... I... I couldn'.
2450
02:03:52,942 --> 02:03:54,810
But I sure as hell
made you dance.
2451
02:03:56,645 --> 02:03:58,514
I sold over
200 million records,
2452
02:03:58,547 --> 02:04:01,650
and all that music
that I helped made possible...
2453
02:04:04,420 --> 02:04:07,523
became the soundtrack
of your lives.
2454
02:04:11,427 --> 02:04:15,664
And we... we were in the
business of making dreams come
true.s
2455
02:04:18,033 --> 02:04:19,401
Didn't we do that?
2456
02:04:21,103 --> 02:04:23,806
And if we did,
didn't... didn't that matter?
2457
02:04:26,776 --> 02:04:27,810
Didn't I?
2458
02:04:30,813 --> 02:04:35,651
Even if... even if only a song?
2459
02:04:44,593 --> 02:04:45,594
I died...
2460
02:04:47,696 --> 02:04:50,866
May eighth, just two years
later, from cancer.
2461
02:04:52,935 --> 02:04:54,603
I was only 39 years old.
2462
02:05:00,409 --> 02:05:05,781
I... I wouldn't change
a fucking thing.
2463
02:05:09,985 --> 02:05:12,822

- Brooklyn.
- You know, all people
2596

that are born in Brooklyn seem
to be able to bounce back,
2597

because you have to
if you come from there.

02:13:00,122 --> 02:13:04,460
You have to have the desire
to succeed and be a gambler,
2599
02:13:04,494 --> 02:13:07,929
and I both have the desire
and am a gambler.
2600
02:13:07,963 --> 02:13:09,197
So, you were poor?
2601
02:13:09,231 --> 02:13:10,333
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm
2602
02:13:11,634 --> 02:13:13,235
I came from Brooklyn,
2603
02:13:13,268 --> 02:13:17,005
and I used to sing on
the street corners and stuff.
2604
02:13:17,039 --> 02:13:20,108
Do you think... I mean, what
does it take to be a greaser?
2605
02:13:20,142 --> 02:13:21,943
-I mean...
-You got what it takes.
2606
02:13:21,977 --> 02:13:23,446
You probably got what it takes.
2607
02:13:23,479 --> 02:13:26,281
What do you think is
the biggest misunderstanding
2608
02:13:26,315 --> 02:13:27,282
about Neil Bogart?
2609
02:13:35,891 --> 02:13:37,593
There are quite a few
misunderstandings
2610
02:13:37,627 --> 02:13:39,395
about Neil Bogart.
2611
02:13:41,129 --> 02:13:43,899
If you feel like rocking
the Hollywood Bowl,
2612
02:13:43,932 --> 02:13:46,101
it feels like being rocked.
2613
02:13:56,178 --> 02:13:58,481
How'd you get
so down and out, Neil?
2614
02:13:58,514 --> 02:14:00,082
I came out to California
2615
02:14:00,115 --> 02:14:02,652
after having a company
called Buddah Records
2616
02:14:02,685 --> 02:14:04,354
in New York City,
2617
02:14:04,387 --> 02:14:07,089
which was very successful,
and I went into partnership
2618
02:14:07,122 --> 02:14:09,459
with Warners Brothers Records.
2619
02:14:09,492 --> 02:14:11,026
Inside of eight months,
2620
02:14:11,059 --> 02:14:13,629
the partnership
had just about dissolved,
2621
02:14:13,663 --> 02:14:16,898
and I lost the quickest
three million dollars
2622
02:14:16,932 --> 02:14:19,101
anybody ever put up
for anybody else.
2623
02:14:19,134 --> 02:14:20,636
What does it feel like
to lose
2624
02:14:20,670 --> 02:14:22,037
a couple of million dollars?
2625
02:14:22,070 --> 02:14:24,005
Well, the strange thing is,
2626
02:14:24,039 --> 02:14:26,108
I really didn't have it,
you know?
2627
02:14:26,141 --> 02:14:28,009
Of course.
2628
02:14:28,043 --> 02:14:31,246
I don't think if I had it,
I could have taken the risk.
2629
02:14:31,279 --> 02:14:34,517
You know,
it was a kind of situation
2630
02:14:34,550 --> 02:14:38,654
where I just kept going and
really didn't stop to think
2631
02:14:38,688 --> 02:14:40,989
of how I was going
to pay it back.
2632
02:14:41,022 --> 02:14:43,992
And fortunately, success
was around the corner,
2633
02:14:44,025 --> 02:14:46,696
and I was able to pay it back
and come from behind.
2634
02:14:46,729 --> 02:14:48,398
You did it by giving,
first of all,
2635
02:14:48,431 --> 02:14:50,700
one of the largest parties
ever given in this town,
2636
02:14:50,733 --> 02:14:53,001
-didn't you?
-Yes, it was.
2637
02:14:53,034 --> 02:14:55,003
He laughs about it.
2638
02:14:55,036 --> 02:14:57,973
And you couldn't leave
a tip, right?
2639
02:14:58,006 --> 02:15:00,041
At the end, I couldn't.
2640
02:15:00,743 --> 02:15:02,077
The party was fabulous.
2641
02:15:02,110 --> 02:15:04,045
The reception was fabulous.
2642
02:15:04,079 --> 02:15:06,281
The welcome to California
was exciting,
2643
02:15:06,314 --> 02:15:09,619
and from there,
everything went downhill.
2644
02:15:09,652 --> 02:15:10,653
About eight months later,
2645
02:15:10,686 --> 02:15:15,391
I realized that um,
it wasn't going to happen.
2646
02:15:15,425 --> 02:15:16,626
I had just finished
2647
02:15:16,659 --> 02:15:19,562
probably the most expensive
album ever done
2648
02:15:19,595 --> 02:15:21,330
in the record industry,
which was
2649
02:15:21,364 --> 02:15:24,333
Here's Johnny: Magic MomentsFrom The Tonight Show,
2650
02:15:24,367 --> 02:15:26,201
- and we opened...
- Oh, you did that.
2651
02:15:26,234 --> 02:15:29,104
Yeah. That was our record.
2652
02:15:29,137 --> 02:15:30,573
You all bought that,
didn't you?
2653
02:15:30,606 --> 02:15:32,207
Yeah.
2654
02:15:32,240 --> 02:15:35,043
We over-advertised,
and we over-promoted.
2655
02:15:35,076 --> 02:15:38,648
And we did everything
you could possibly do wrong.
2656
02:15:38,681 --> 02:15:40,716
And I went to Acapulco,
2657
02:15:40,750 --> 02:15:42,718
and while I was there,
scuba diving,
2658
02:15:42,752 --> 02:15:46,589
I thought that, "You owe
three million dollars.
2659
02:15:46,622 --> 02:15:48,324
You don't have any money
left in the bank."
2660
02:15:48,357 --> 02:15:50,158
- Yeah.
- "You might have payroll
2661
02:15:50,192 --> 02:15:53,061
for about two
or three weeks left."
2662
02:15:53,094 --> 02:15:56,064
And I was down there,
and I took the mouthpiece out
2663
02:15:56,097 --> 02:15:58,066
and said, "It could be over."
2664
02:15:58,099 --> 02:16:00,268
I mean, that could be it.
You don't have to come back
2665
02:16:00,302 --> 02:16:02,338
to the problems.
You don't have to come back
2666
02:16:02,371 --> 02:16:04,407
to face the failure.
2667
02:16:04,440 --> 02:16:08,076
And, um... the last record
I released at Buddah Records
2668
02:16:08,109 --> 02:16:10,446
was a thing
by Gladys Knight and the Pips,
2669
02:16:10,480 --> 02:16:12,280
that when LA seemed
too much for the man,
2670
02:16:12,314 --> 02:16:13,783
he couldn't make it,
so he's leaving
2671
02:16:13,816 --> 02:16:14,750
the life he's come to know.
2672
02:16:14,784 --> 02:16:17,219
He's leaving on a midnight
train to Georgia.
2673
02:16:17,252 --> 02:16:19,789
And I just realized
that wasn't me.
2674
02:16:19,822 --> 02:16:23,359
I had to win, or I had to fail.
2675
02:16:23,392 --> 02:16:24,627
I couldn't cop out,
2676
02:16:24,660 --> 02:16:27,095
and I put
the mouthpiece back in.
2677
02:16:27,128 --> 02:16:29,765
I swam and found Joyce.
2678
02:16:29,799 --> 02:16:32,234
I said, "Come on back.
We're going upstairs.
2679
02:16:32,267 --> 02:16:34,102
We're gonna go back,
and we're gonna do it.
2680
02:16:34,135 --> 02:16:35,771
We're going to win,
or we're gonna fail."
2681
02:16:35,805 --> 02:16:37,807
And in the back of my head,
I always had the thought
2682
02:16:37,840 --> 02:16:40,108
that I can always go
back to Brooklyn and open
2683
02:16:40,141 --> 02:16:41,243
- a candy store.
- Yeah,
2684
02:16:41,276 --> 02:16:43,713
except there are a lot of those
there, aren't there?
2685
02:16:43,746 --> 02:16:46,214
Yeah, but you know,
growing up there, I mean,
2686
02:16:46,248 --> 02:16:49,050
that was always
a kind of comforting thing
2687
02:16:49,084 --> 02:16:50,620
that I could always go
back to that,
2688
02:16:50,653 --> 02:16:52,254
and that was a great life.
2689
02:16:55,491 --> 02:16:56,526
Hi.
2690
02:16:56,559 --> 02:16:58,293
What does a tiger say?
2691
02:17:00,262 --> 02:17:03,666
That was the Bogarts,
the fabulous Bogarts!
2692
02:17:03,699 --> 02:17:05,300
Well, I want to thank you all.
2693
02:17:05,334 --> 02:17:09,472
Jill, Timothy, Bradley,
come on. Come on.
2694
02:17:09,505 --> 02:17:11,407
Say goodbye to the audience.
2695
02:17:11,440 --> 02:17:12,642
We'll see you again!
2696
02:17:12,675 --> 02:17:14,710
-Bye!
-Bye, everybody!
2697
02:17:14,744 --> 02:17:16,345
- Bye!
- Bye!
2698
02:17:16,379 --> 02:17:19,114
Do you have one more word you'd
like to say to everybody?
2699
02:17:19,147 --> 02:17:21,817
Goodbye. Cheerio.
2700
02:17:21,851 --> 02:17:23,151
What was that?
2701
02:17:24,687 --> 02:17:27,623
...from the fabulous Bogarts!
2702
02:17:27,657 --> 02:17:29,090
See you next week!
2703
02:17:29,124 --> 02:17:30,258
Yeah!
