circus going on here today.
56
00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:54.469
I'm sure it's a busy week.
57
00:01:54.549 --> 00:01:56.939
Well, I had a show last night down in San
58
00:01:56.950 --> 00:02:00.560
Diego with Godsmack, and I didn't get home until like
59
00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:03.900
four in the morning. And today has been nuts. I
60
00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:06.579
have workers around the house, so hopefully, like, I was
61
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.969
just outside telling the workers, like, You guys got to
62
00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:11.830
be quiet. I have like air blowers going on and everything. So,
63
00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:13.229
and I'm getting ready to, I leave in a few
64
00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:14.870
hours to go to the airport to head to Boston.
65
00:02:14.889 --> 00:02:15.610
To head to Boston.
66
00:02:15.789 --> 00:02:16.990
Yeah. Oh my goodness.
67
00:02:17.110 --> 00:02:17.349
Okay.
68
00:02:17.389 --> 00:02:18.750
Well, I won't, I won't keep.
69
00:02:18.810 --> 00:02:20.810
Hey, no, it's all good. Thank you for, thank you
70
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:21.289
for doing this.
71
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:21.990
No, no, no.
72
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.060
I appreciate it. Well, you know what?
73
00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:25.860
I'll have a, an intro already taped. So we'll jump
74
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.780
right in, man. I can't wait to talk about it.
75
00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:29.240
So Daniel, thank you so much for taking the time.
76
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:30.680
Congratulations on this.
77
00:02:31.539 --> 00:02:32.039
Oh, thank you.
78
00:02:32.659 --> 00:02:36.159
Look, I mean, when I think when people maybe hear
79
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:38.740
the name Hollywood Vampires, maybe they know about it.
80
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:39.699
Maybe they don't.
81
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:42.120
You know, I mean, I think that some people, when
82
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.699
you look at the members of the band, they're known
83
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.139
for several things. And maybe this doesn't jump out to
84
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.919
them at first. So what was it for you where
85
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.520
you realized, you know, this is not just a bunch
86
00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:56.280
of famous guys playing together. This is actually a real
87
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:57.719
band that has a really interesting story.
88
00:02:57.740 --> 00:02:59.360
Yeah.
89
00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:02.270
You know, so initially when we, when we were going
90
00:03:02.310 --> 00:03:03.830
to do this, we're just going to shoot a concert.
91
00:03:03.949 --> 00:03:05.629
And I, and I, you know, I talked to Paul Geary,
92
00:03:05.650 --> 00:03:08.849
their manager who I've known for years, um, you know,
93
00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:10.550
and I thought it'd be cool to document it. Cause
94
00:03:10.569 --> 00:03:14.860
you know, all these, these legends on stage, let's get it. And, um,
95
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.719
as we started talking about that and I started getting
96
00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:21.979
to know them, I started realizing there's a deeper story. Um,
97
00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:25.060
and it started like really becoming evident, uh, like, Hey,
98
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.110
this isn't what I would know what I thought, you know, I,
99
00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:29.409
I've been around a lot of like super groups in
100
00:03:29.430 --> 00:03:31.800
my life from Kings of Chaos to, you know, even
101
00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:35.340
Neurotic Outsiders years ago, the Matt Sorum's other group. But
102
00:03:35.419 --> 00:03:39.360
this one was different. There was a real like brotherhood
103
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.120
that they were forging. And they started like really seeing
104
00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:44.430
like they seem like a real band to me. And
105
00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:46.750
I even noticed it as we were prepping to shoot
106
00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:50.889
the live concert that they were starting to like become
107
00:03:50.930 --> 00:03:53.250
more of a unit. And so. I kind of, I
108
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.830
went back to him saying, Hey, I know we're just
109
00:03:54.849 --> 00:03:56.689
going to shoot a concert, but what about telling the
110
00:03:56.729 --> 00:04:00.849
story of the vampires here? Because this isn't like, you know,
111
00:04:01.250 --> 00:04:03.349
originally it was, you know, a drinking club and then
112
00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:05.389
they kind of created a bar band to have fun,
113
00:04:05.509 --> 00:04:08.129
but it became much more than a bar band. And,
114
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:11.539
and I thought there was a more interesting story there.
115
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.539
And so, you know, it just kind of unfolded naturally.
116
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.060
That was what was kind of cool about it. We
117
00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:18.300
never set out to kind of do a documentary. That
118
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.819
was never the initial, the original intention. But just like
119
00:04:21.870 --> 00:04:24.449
how the band came together organically, the kind of the
120
00:04:24.509 --> 00:04:27.310
idea to tell a story and make a documentary about it,
121
00:04:27.329 --> 00:04:31.329
that happened organically as well. So it was, you know,
122
00:04:31.350 --> 00:04:34.170
it just all unfolded on its own. And it was
123
00:04:34.430 --> 00:04:36.050
also as nice about it. We took our time and
124
00:04:36.069 --> 00:04:37.990
we kind of did it over a three year period.
125
00:04:38.389 --> 00:04:41.410
There was like no one telling us when to finish it. Right. Yeah.
126
00:04:41.430 --> 00:04:43.009
I mean, so you kind of let that, you know,
127
00:04:43.230 --> 00:04:45.730
whatever happens in that time happen and whatever it's done
128
00:04:45.790 --> 00:04:46.189
is done.
129
00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:46.790
You know, you're not.
130
00:04:47.149 --> 00:04:49.509
Have some meal with all these little nuggets, like these
131
00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:53.310
little side stories. And, you know, and like, it's, it's
132
00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:55.889
even crazy, even how, like, you know, the band we
133
00:04:55.949 --> 00:04:58.600
see in the documentary, the band being kind of put together.
134
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.439
It's amazing. We have that footage of the early days
135
00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:05.160
of like Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp with management and
136
00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:09.980
Bob Ezrin in Johnny Depp's kitchen discussing, Hey, are we
137
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.560
going to do this? And even like, even like a
138
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.899
business discussion with Johnny, like I think it was Bob
139
00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:18.149
Ezrin and, and, uh, you know, Bob and, and Shep
140
00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:20.300
were saying, Hey, you know, you can make more money
141
00:05:20.420 --> 00:05:23.180
in one week doing a movie than you can the
142
00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:25.579
entire time doing this project. And Shire was like, it's
143
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.779
not about that. It's not about the money, but we
144
00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:31.879
see the band form. But then more importantly, we show, we,
145
00:05:31.939 --> 00:05:34.889
we see the band kind of morph into like being
146
00:05:34.910 --> 00:05:37.629
their own, like towards the end there by the second album,
147
00:05:38.829 --> 00:05:41.389
you know, even Bob Ezrin didn't produce the second record.
148
00:05:41.509 --> 00:05:45.149
They kind of produced it internally with Tommy. Um, And
149
00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:48.250
we kind of see them just become like this organic group,
150
00:05:48.329 --> 00:05:52.490
almost like an up and coming band, you know, like
151
00:05:52.610 --> 00:05:55.959
that hasn't had success, that doesn't have real management or whatever,
152
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.660
because they kind of like they work as like a
153
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.180
brotherhood now, like a unit. It was it was really
154
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.360
kind of refreshing to see that because usually people at
155
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:03.959
that level.
156
00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:04.920
Right.
157
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.449
You kind of have handlers and it's just it's just
158
00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:10.009
a different animal. But when they make music together, it's
159
00:06:10.050 --> 00:06:10.430
just them.
160
00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:14.139
And like you said, even their origin story, all of
161
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.980
it's very rock and roll, right? I mean, it's just,
162
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.120
we're playing together. We're just some guys who want to
163
00:06:18.139 --> 00:06:20.300
get together. We don't care about all the red tape.
164
00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:22.240
We don't care what anybody says. We're just going to
165
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:23.990
do the damn thing, whether you like it or not.
166
00:06:24.589 --> 00:06:27.110
And so at what point, so when you decide, okay,
167
00:06:27.129 --> 00:06:29.410
we're going to do the documentary, not just the concert film,
168
00:06:29.930 --> 00:06:32.310
who had all this footage that you had access to?
169
00:06:32.769 --> 00:06:35.139
Well, so one, we initially didn't know about a lot
170
00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:39.259
of that footage. So I started with obviously with with Alice, because,
171
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.259
you know, this is Alice's story. I mean, Alice started
172
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.779
the Hollywood Vampires. And so I didn't make sure Alice
173
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.620
was OK with doing it. And, you know, we started
174
00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:49.350
out with a master interview with Alice. And the person
175
00:06:49.389 --> 00:06:52.990
I really stepped up that became the hero was Tommy.
176
00:06:53.589 --> 00:06:56.550
I mean, some of the most priceless, amazing footage of
177
00:06:56.569 --> 00:06:59.889
this whole film was Tommy, you know. Tommy just whips
178
00:06:59.930 --> 00:07:01.769
his cell phone out at four o'clock in the morning
179
00:07:01.790 --> 00:07:03.889
when he's sitting there writing songs with Johnny. I mean,
180
00:07:04.329 --> 00:07:05.920
fans are going to love that stuff. I mean, it's
181
00:07:05.949 --> 00:07:09.779
a real, you know, look, I mean, all these guys
182
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.160
are pros, right? But even pros act differently when a
183
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.620
professional camera crew comes in, you know? Right. Their guard
184
00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:18.779
is down when it's like their friend filming them on
185
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.680
a cell phone. You get to see the real them.
186
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.560
And so I, you know, Tommy was doing a dugout,
187
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.500
but believe it or not, Alice has a big archives.
188
00:07:26.540 --> 00:07:30.189
He has a friend of mine, Bob Pfeiffer. Bob oversees
189
00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:34.910
his archive and they keep everything. And so there was
190
00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:37.009
a treasure trove of stuff that we had from the
191
00:07:37.129 --> 00:07:40.189
70s and 80s and 90s from Alice to kind of
192
00:07:40.230 --> 00:07:42.810
tell the story of how we started the vampires. And
193
00:07:42.850 --> 00:07:47.100
then we had archival producers go after stuff. But the
194
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.199
stuff with them, a lot of that emanated from Tommy.
195
00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:52.439
Tommy was like religious about filming. And believe it or not,
196
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.560
in the early days, too, Matt Sorum, he filmed a
197
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.500
lot of stuff. He would always walk around with a camera.
198
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.019
And so I think some of the most special footage
199
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.180
is the stuff that was shot by the band, you know,
200
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.259
without me there, because you really, you know, they're just
201
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.720
being themselves. So if you really want to see what
202
00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:11.740
these guys are like in real life, well, that's it.
203
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.000
And the thing about a documentary too is, you know,
204
00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:18.230
different from a narrative film where, you know, you have
205
00:08:18.250 --> 00:08:20.310
the script and you know, it's beginning, middle and end.
206
00:08:20.310 --> 00:08:22.110
Here's what we need to shoot when we need to
207
00:08:22.149 --> 00:08:24.860
shoot it. A doc comes together in the edits That's
208
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.600
where the whole thing starts to come together. And I'm
209
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.720
sure the initial vision, it was way different, maybe not
210
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.639
way different, but different than what the end product was
211
00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:36.539
because you find all this footage or somebody says something
212
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.779
in an interview and it sparks a story. And now
213
00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:40.620
we got to hone in on that. We got to
214
00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:43.179
spend three, five minutes of the doc telling that story.
215
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.919
So when you were combing through this footage, what was
216
00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:48.799
the one or two golden nuggets, if you will, for
217
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:49.759
lack of a better term.
218
00:08:49.779 --> 00:08:52.279
Where you're like, I can't believe we actually have this?
219
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.519
The Paul McCartney segment I couldn't believe we had. I mean,
220
00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:58.460
they even forgot they had it, but I was like.
221
00:08:58.799 --> 00:08:59.559
How do you forget that?
222
00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:03.090
It was insane. I mean, just that whole thing. I mean,
223
00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:06.070
I joked to someone else, but can you imagine if
224
00:09:06.090 --> 00:09:08.250
you were like a pizza delivery guy or something, you
225
00:09:08.289 --> 00:09:10.649
show up and it's Johnny Depp's house and you look
226
00:09:10.730 --> 00:09:13.330
over and there's like Alice Cooper and Joe Perry and
227
00:09:13.370 --> 00:09:15.470
Paul McCartney and they're all just kind of hanging out.
228
00:09:15.549 --> 00:09:17.740
I mean, it was... no handlers or anything. It was
229
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.960
just this organic, amazing thing. These guys were just making
230
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.240
music together in like Johnny's converted garage, which is just insane. Um,
231
00:09:26.019 --> 00:09:29.620
but the, the fact that we had all that footage, um, wow,
232
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.820
that whole scene to me is like kind of the
233
00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:36.110
backbone of the film that really kind of shows what,
234
00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:38.350
what this band's all about and how they just come
235
00:09:38.370 --> 00:09:43.419
together and make music together. Um, and then, you know, um, God,
236
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.159
there's so many other great moments just seeing them in
237
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:46.759
their element.
238
00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:50.460
And I think that's like the vibe, just being around
239
00:09:50.500 --> 00:09:52.799
them is such an appeal of the movie.
240
00:09:52.830 --> 00:09:54.409
And then even seeing on stage.
241
00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:56.649
And I think what people are going to sometimes walk
242
00:09:56.690 --> 00:10:00.460
away thinking is, you knew Johnny did stuff. right people
243
00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:02.960
know johnny was musician but you know he's when you
244
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.679
say johnny depp they think actor johnny depp actor and
245
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.870
a great actor one of the greatest uh on screen um.
246
00:10:08.769 --> 00:10:11.340
But i think that's what i thought Right.
247
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.059
But I think people are going to be shocked. But
248
00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:15.360
like this guy goes like in the music.
249
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.679
He was always a musician. He never wanted to be
250
00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:19.940
an actor. You know, when he moved from Kentucky to
251
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:21.940
Florida and then Florida to L.A., it was always to
252
00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:25.679
be a rock star musician. He never intended. I mean,
253
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.799
he took an acting role in Nightmare on Elm Street
254
00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:29.480
to help pay the bills. But it was always he
255
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.220
still wanted to be a rock star.
256
00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:32.240
And.
257
00:10:33.009 --> 00:10:35.549
So, I mean, he's always had the chops and it's just,
258
00:10:35.590 --> 00:10:38.649
you know, but obviously when you become so well known
259
00:10:38.750 --> 00:10:41.309
for something that, you know, his acting is just so
260
00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:43.750
up here, you know, I guess a lot of people,
261
00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:45.990
it's hard to see him any other way, but hopefully
262
00:10:46.049 --> 00:10:50.070
after seeing this, he realized he's the real deal. You know, and, and,
263
00:10:50.090 --> 00:10:52.350
you know, I think, I think it comes across, you know,
264
00:10:52.370 --> 00:10:54.490
we say it without saying it, but, you know, guys
265
00:10:54.509 --> 00:10:57.429
like Joe Perry and Jeff Beck and even kind of
266
00:10:57.470 --> 00:11:00.980
Duff says it in the interview. I mean, these guys
267
00:11:01.009 --> 00:11:04.549
wouldn't go on stage without, and share a stage and share, like,
268
00:11:04.570 --> 00:11:07.309
Spallion with Johnny if he couldn't play. I mean, he's
269
00:11:07.370 --> 00:11:09.110
up there playing with the biggest and the best, and
270
00:11:09.149 --> 00:11:12.730
he's holding his own, and you really get to see
271
00:11:12.769 --> 00:11:15.370
what a real musician he is. I mean, he's the
272
00:11:15.409 --> 00:11:15.830
real deal.
273
00:11:16.330 --> 00:11:18.269
He's the real deal, and I think that, too, like,
274
00:11:18.309 --> 00:11:20.230
I think sometimes people think when there's a celebrity who's
275
00:11:20.269 --> 00:11:22.350
known for one thing, like acting, and then they go
276
00:11:22.389 --> 00:11:24.659
into music, oh, it's... you know, there's a bit of
277
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.450
a roll your eyes, but even someone like a John Stamos,
278
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.529
when he's playing drums with the Beach Boys, and then
279
00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:32.529
you look at his drumming videos, you're like, oh, like
280
00:11:32.549 --> 00:11:33.450
you can actually kind.
281
00:11:33.330 --> 00:11:33.929
Of do that.
282
00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:36.629
I went to John's house, and one of my friends, Grayson,
283
00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:40.879
who plays with Sepultura and stuff, and John's friends with him,
284
00:11:40.899 --> 00:11:42.679
and I ended up going to John's house, and they'd
285
00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:44.620
have like a drum off, they're just like, John like
286
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.779
just geeks out about drumming, and like he has a
287
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.720
studio up in his house with all his drum sets,
288
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.470
and he takes it really seriously, like And then same
289
00:11:52.490 --> 00:11:54.750
thing with Johnny. Johnny takes his playing really seriously. I mean,
290
00:11:54.769 --> 00:11:57.269
he has a studio in his house. There's guitars everywhere.
291
00:11:57.289 --> 00:12:00.730
I mean, I think it's his first true love.
292
00:12:01.509 --> 00:12:02.029
Right.
293
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:04.779
So you get to see inside that world. So I think,
294
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.059
you know, any fan that wasn't aware of this will
295
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.179
be really surprised. But I think it's cool for Johnny
296
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.620
to get the validation from guys like Joe and Jeff.
297
00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:16.860
I mean, the fact that you look at all that
298
00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:19.070
old footage of when he was out with Jeff Beck
299
00:12:19.110 --> 00:12:21.889
on the road. I mean, he's holding his own with
300
00:12:21.929 --> 00:12:23.269
one of the greatest guitar players ever.
301
00:12:23.690 --> 00:12:24.549
Of all time, yeah.
302
00:12:25.129 --> 00:12:25.529
It's crazy.
303
00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:27.110
It's insane. It's insane.
304
00:12:27.149 --> 00:12:28.570
And that's what people are going to be able to see.
305
00:12:28.909 --> 00:12:33.649
And again, when you talk about it starting off as
306
00:12:33.669 --> 00:12:38.350
this concert film and evolving into what it did, it
307
00:12:38.389 --> 00:12:41.269
wouldn't be as interesting if the tunes weren't good.
308
00:12:41.570 --> 00:12:42.389
Do you know what I mean?
309
00:12:42.450 --> 00:12:45.470
These guys actually, they're a great group.
310
00:12:45.509 --> 00:12:47.480
They're not just like, they are a super group.
311
00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:50.509
They're a bar band, but they're great. no overproduced. I mean,
312
00:12:50.529 --> 00:12:53.230
the first album was obviously covers and then, but as
313
00:12:53.289 --> 00:12:55.740
they started writing their own music. And so that's why, like,
314
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.460
you know, I started saying, I go, there's another story here.
315
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.480
You guys are actually becoming like a real band. Um,
316
00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:04.440
it's no longer just this fun side thing anymore. Uh,
317
00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:07.899
like these other super groups or, you know, like as, as,
318
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.799
as Alice would say, a bar band, uh, and bar
319
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.080
bands don't go out and in headline arenas, uh, in Europe.
320
00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:16.480
And so, you know, and it was interesting just to
321
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.370
be able to see that story morph. And, uh, And also,
322
00:13:19.389 --> 00:13:20.769
you know, I learned a lot. I mean, I've been
323
00:13:20.789 --> 00:13:22.289
around for a long time and I've done a lot
324
00:13:22.309 --> 00:13:24.590
of music docs and I work with a lot of artists,
325
00:13:24.649 --> 00:13:26.950
but you know, I wasn't that, and I was an
326
00:13:26.990 --> 00:13:29.149
Alice Cooper fan as a kid, but I wasn't aware
327
00:13:29.169 --> 00:13:31.950
of like, he was like the nucleus of a whole
328
00:13:31.990 --> 00:13:34.940
like Hollywood social scene, 70s. I mean, I joked with him.
329
00:13:34.950 --> 00:13:36.789
He's like the original Paris Hilton. I mean, he was
330
00:13:36.809 --> 00:13:39.230
the guy that everybody wanted to hang out with. There's
331
00:13:39.269 --> 00:13:41.710
a funny scene towards the end of the movie where
332
00:13:41.730 --> 00:13:44.389
I'm with him in the rainbow room. And he's like,
333
00:13:44.409 --> 00:13:45.620
you know, and he was just talking about what it
334
00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:48.240
wasn't a big deal. And I'm like, it wasn't a
335
00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:50.179
big deal that he having drinks with John Lennon on
336
00:13:50.220 --> 00:13:52.970
Tuesday night. I was like, why? It's just like the
337
00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:55.110
way it is. Like, Oh yeah. Cause they were just
338
00:13:55.169 --> 00:13:57.450
regular guys. I'm like, they weren't regular guys.
339
00:13:57.470 --> 00:13:58.389
They were the Beatles.
340
00:13:58.509 --> 00:14:00.909
They were hanging out with the Beatles and Keith moon
341
00:14:00.950 --> 00:14:03.830
having drinks. Like that is not normal. It's just, it's not,
342
00:14:03.909 --> 00:14:06.629
it's like, but it's the way in these like, yeah, maybe.
343
00:14:06.669 --> 00:14:12.129
And I'm like, Jesus, I, you know, just incredible stories.
344
00:14:12.490 --> 00:14:14.029
And I mean, I could have made a whole doc
345
00:14:14.070 --> 00:14:16.379
just on that, but, You know, we had to get
346
00:14:16.470 --> 00:14:19.250
to the present day to, you know, to talk about.
347
00:14:19.409 --> 00:14:21.289
And another cool thing is we shot a full, I
348
00:14:21.470 --> 00:14:24.850
shot a full show at the Bach Center Wang Theater
349
00:14:25.269 --> 00:14:27.809
in Boston. So eventually that'll come out as a standalone.
350
00:14:28.289 --> 00:14:30.090
But we shot the full concert and we only have
351
00:14:30.129 --> 00:14:33.169
little segments of it in the movie. But, you know,
352
00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:35.529
I shot a full concert with 24 cameras and 4K.
353
00:14:35.570 --> 00:14:38.580
So we have a whole separate thing that'll eventually come out.
354
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.200
OK, those are my those are going to be two
355
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.139
questions that we'll wrap on, because I know you have
356
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:44.899
a lot going on. I appreciate your time. And again,
357
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.159
we're talking about Unleashed Spirits, The Rise of the Hollywood Vampires,
358
00:14:48.710 --> 00:14:51.669
which its debut is world premiere is September the 18th
359
00:14:51.710 --> 00:14:52.649
at the Boston Wang Theater.
360
00:14:52.669 --> 00:14:54.090
That's where you're getting ready to go to.
361
00:14:55.289 --> 00:14:57.409
Two things, by the way, we've sold all over a
362
00:14:57.450 --> 00:15:01.409
thousand tickets, which is insane because, you know, movie premieres
363
00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:04.460
are like, you know, Movie theaters sold 100, 150 people.
364
00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:06.360
Even premieres usually at 400 or 500. I mean, the
365
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.919
fact we're going to have probably a couple thousand people
366
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.259
in a movie premiere, it's mind-boggling.
367
00:15:12.350 --> 00:15:13.509
Well, what's crazy, too, is.
368
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.080
If anybody sees just a clip, just a trailer of this,
369
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.259
even if you're a periphery rock and roll fan and
370
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.860
you just like Hollywood intrigue of any kind, I mean,
371
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.500
there's so many. This isn't just a rock doc. This
372
00:15:26.539 --> 00:15:28.679
goes out to so many kinds of people who I
373
00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:31.259
think are going to be. And that's, I think, evident
374
00:15:31.299 --> 00:15:33.440
by the great turnout you're going to have.
375
00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:34.379
But two things.
376
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.799
One, when you see some of that early photography and
377
00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:40.399
you're seeing, you know, like you said, Lennon and you're
378
00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:45.600
seeing Ringo. and all these guys coming in to the, uh, to, to, to,
379
00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:48.159
to drink with Alice and his social club and be
380
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:49.980
part of the quote unquote Hollywood vampires.
381
00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:51.200
It's just such an.
382
00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:54.990
A bygone era that I just wish still existed in
383
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:55.669
some realm.
384
00:15:55.730 --> 00:15:58.029
I think that's, as Alice said, you couldn't do it
385
00:15:58.070 --> 00:16:00.269
today because of social media and stuff. I mean, they
386
00:16:00.309 --> 00:16:03.629
had anonymity, they, they had privacy. They could, they could
387
00:16:03.649 --> 00:16:05.590
sneak in and out of there nowadays with all the
388
00:16:05.629 --> 00:16:08.610
cameras and everything. I mean, it just, you know, it's
389
00:16:08.649 --> 00:16:11.240
so different. Um, I mean, what a cool thing, but
390
00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:13.080
can you just imagine back in those days, if you
391
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.220
happen to get up into that crow's nest area and you,
392
00:16:15.610 --> 00:16:18.690
you look up and you see, you know, all those
393
00:16:18.730 --> 00:16:22.210
guys together, you would be like, what? You know, it just,
394
00:16:22.269 --> 00:16:25.769
it's just crazy. And, uh, you know, what a cool brotherhood.
395
00:16:25.789 --> 00:16:28.539
Like they were all super close, uh, you know, and
396
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.080
they all still are. I mean, you can see it
397
00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:32.740
cause that's like the common thread. Like, you know, Alice
398
00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:35.360
has always had this friendship and brotherhood with his peers.
399
00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:38.279
and they all have a mutual respect for each other.
400
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.700
So it's kind of cool that they can come together
401
00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:40.360
and make music.
402
00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:42.440
It would be just incredible to be a fly on
403
00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:43.179
the wall back then.
404
00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:44.659
I was talking to.
405
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.039
Even now, I've been a fly on the wall now.
406
00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:49.779
It was, I mean- Amazing. I still picture myself. I
407
00:16:49.820 --> 00:16:51.299
work with a lot of artists, but like, you know,
408
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.200
when you're around people who are kind of legends and
409
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.860
icons and, you know, that you grew up watching and
410
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.779
then to be in their world and just to be trusted,
411
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.519
just be around them, it's pretty wild. I mean, I mean,
412
00:17:03.570 --> 00:17:08.950
picture myself, you know, I don't get nervous. I speak
413
00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:11.890
a lot in public, but I'm freaking out. I'm going
414
00:17:11.910 --> 00:17:14.819
to be on the stage with Joe and Alice and Tommy.
415
00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:19.099
Eddie Trunk is moderating it on Friday night. There's going
416
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.640
to be a couple thousand people there. That's an intimidating stage.
417
00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:23.839
That stage at the Wang Center, that's where we shot
418
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:29.339
the concert part. It's a big stage. I pinch myself
419
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:31.000
on that stuff. I don't take it for granted. It's
420
00:17:31.019 --> 00:17:32.380
pretty cool, actually.
421
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:35.099
Never thought you'd be in this position.
422
00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:37.920
No, no, no, no, no. I never even thought I'd
423
00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:39.279
go into entertainment, to be honest with you. I thought
424
00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:43.240
I was going to be a lawyer. But I'd say it's, yeah, yeah.
425
00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:45.140
I never take it for granted. I realize how lucky
426
00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:48.559
I am. And it's pretty cool. You know, I always say, like,
427
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.240
when it comes to this project, I pinch my, like,
428
00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:52.920
16-year-old self. I remember, like, one of my most vivid
429
00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:55.599
memories of high school was my friend and I snuck
430
00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:59.019
into Aerosmith Pump Tour at Brendenburn Arena in New Jersey.
431
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.160
And we snuck into the backstage tunnel. Like, we snuck
432
00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:06.380
down the ramp. And I'll never forget that. And like,
433
00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:08.700
here I am now, like, you know, I have Joe
434
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.390
Perry's cell phone. It's just, it's weird.
435
00:18:11.569 --> 00:18:12.569
It's crazy, right?
436
00:18:12.589 --> 00:18:16.650
It's weird. It's so, you know, and it's, you know,
437
00:18:16.910 --> 00:18:18.730
that type of stuff just, you know, it gets you
438
00:18:18.750 --> 00:18:21.880
super excited and like appreciative to even do stuff like this.
439
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.079
Oh, it's, it's always a pinch me moment.
440
00:18:24.099 --> 00:18:26.400
I agree. Sometimes when you get to meet your heroes
441
00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:27.339
and one of the things I was going to say,
442
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.960
I was talking to a guy, he used to be
443
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.720
a pro wrestling manager back in the day.
444
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:32.509
Jimmy Hart is his name.
445
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:35.759
And he was in a group called the Gentries who
446
00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.960
were signed to Sun Records.
447
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.140
And he talked to me about, oh.
448
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.960
Yeah, we'd go in Sam Phillips' studio and there's Elvis
449
00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:44.160
and Jerry Lee and they're like working on a tune.
450
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:45.819
And I'm like, oh my gosh, I wish I.
451
00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:47.809
Was with you. To stumble into that, it's like what?
452
00:18:47.869 --> 00:18:48.730
Just to stumble into it.
453
00:18:48.769 --> 00:18:51.049
What are you talking about? Okay, when you shoot a
454
00:18:51.109 --> 00:18:53.069
concert film though, this is really what I want to
455
00:18:53.089 --> 00:18:57.250
know because you said 24 cameras, 4K. I can't imagine
456
00:18:57.289 --> 00:19:01.029
the undertaking that that truly is. It's not as simple as,
457
00:19:01.650 --> 00:19:04.369
hitting record and letting it go. I mean, the sound's
458
00:19:04.410 --> 00:19:06.230
got to be right. The crowd has to be, everything
459
00:19:06.269 --> 00:19:08.740
has to be mic'd in such a certain way. How
460
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:11.299
gargantuan of an undertaking was that?
461
00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:12.920
Is it as difficult as I think it is?
462
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.839
Fortunately for me, and I've been doing that, that's what
463
00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:18.339
I've done the most. I'm most known for my concert specials,
464
00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:20.660
you know, and I've done over 300 of them. And
465
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.789
I even have the world record for the most cameras
466
00:19:22.849 --> 00:19:25.250
ever used in a live concert special. When I did
467
00:19:25.329 --> 00:19:30.269
Creed in 2009, I did 239 cameras. But You know,
468
00:19:30.289 --> 00:19:32.400
it gets a little overwhelming. I mean, like every time
469
00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:34.220
we do it, I always like pinch myself, like, how
470
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.039
do we make this look so simple? But, you know,
471
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.980
I have the same team. We've been working together for
472
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.990
a long time. I have some people like my my
473
00:19:41.029 --> 00:19:45.410
assistant's been with me 26 years. But, you know, it's
474
00:19:45.430 --> 00:19:47.250
like rinse and repeat for us. But, you know, some
475
00:19:47.289 --> 00:19:49.509
are more complex than others on the vampires one. Uh,
476
00:19:50.250 --> 00:19:52.130
it was a pretty complex shoot. I mean, our crew
477
00:19:52.190 --> 00:19:54.410
is about a hundred people. Uh, we had a big
478
00:19:54.410 --> 00:19:58.930
53 foot TV truck there. Um, it was, you know,
479
00:19:58.970 --> 00:20:00.799
a pretty layered crew too. So we had over a
480
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.519
hundred on our team and then it was a union shoot.
481
00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:05.880
So we had all the union people too. So there's probably, uh,
482
00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:09.980
160 170 people on the crew um but you know
483
00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:13.960
technically you know multi-camera is difficult but you know when
484
00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:16.119
you use the tv trucks all the cameras come into
485
00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.849
i have a big control room so it looks like
486
00:20:17.950 --> 00:20:21.369
i'm at norad um you know we brought in one
487
00:20:21.390 --> 00:20:24.490
of the the audio engineers for the band justin who
488
00:20:24.869 --> 00:20:27.630
was a great help because he knew the band really
489
00:20:27.670 --> 00:20:30.670
well um But yeah, I mean, you know, and we
490
00:20:30.710 --> 00:20:32.880
treat it like it's live when we do our shows. Like,
491
00:20:32.890 --> 00:20:35.079
it doesn't matter who it is. Like, we cut it
492
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.839
like it's live. I call I'll actually call the show live.
493
00:20:37.900 --> 00:20:39.240
So then we come out of there with what's called
494
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.380
a line cut. And then it makes our posts a
495
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.920
little faster. But, you know, some shoots are more complex.
496
00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:47.549
So we just did Katy Perry in Paris and Katy
497
00:20:47.589 --> 00:20:50.769
was 60 camera angles over two nights. And that was
498
00:20:50.789 --> 00:20:54.220
done more film style with with Ari Alexa. So. that
499
00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:56.160
was actually a lot more complex because then we try
500
00:20:56.180 --> 00:20:57.960
to piece it together to make it look like one show,
501
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:00.019
but the show, like the vampires, you can't really do
502
00:21:00.059 --> 00:21:03.519
that because they don't play to a click track. Right.
503
00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:06.740
So it would be hard to match, you know, because of.
504
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.990
The rhythm, because the tempo might be a little bit different.
505
00:21:09.329 --> 00:21:11.490
And with the pop artists, when they're playing along to
506
00:21:11.509 --> 00:21:14.329
a click or whatever, you can, everything will match perfectly. Uh,
507
00:21:14.890 --> 00:21:16.910
but with rock bands, we usually just go for it.
508
00:21:16.990 --> 00:21:18.690
But I mean, we had that place covered. I mean,
509
00:21:18.730 --> 00:21:20.609
it was a tremendous amount of cameras for such a
510
00:21:21.230 --> 00:21:24.440
small room. Uh, I'm a little bit of a camera whore, though.
511
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.380
I love coverage. I mean, I put cameras everywhere. So,
512
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.619
you know, most people would probably would have shot that
513
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.880
show with like 10 cameras. I you know, I I
514
00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:34.700
just I go crazy.
515
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.759
You want you want as much as you can.
516
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.160
Right. Like you want to play in the edit. Right.
517
00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:44.329
A little overkill sometimes. You know, but I take it seriously, too,
518
00:21:44.390 --> 00:21:47.529
because also it's because like these guys are legends and like, yeah.
519
00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:50.240
in a weird way when I do their concerts, I,
520
00:21:50.420 --> 00:21:52.240
I feel like I'm like in a story and like
521
00:21:52.259 --> 00:21:53.759
kind of capturing a moment in time.
522
00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:56.079
And, you know, that is what you are.
523
00:21:56.099 --> 00:21:58.230
You, you want to have as much value to it
524
00:21:58.269 --> 00:22:00.869
as possible. So 20, 30 years from now, when people
525
00:22:00.890 --> 00:22:02.990
want to look back on and learn about these guys,
526
00:22:03.069 --> 00:22:05.230
you have all the different angles and you, you know,
527
00:22:05.269 --> 00:22:08.650
have it in a certain quality level. Um, and so,
528
00:22:08.670 --> 00:22:10.619
you know, now we're shooting like, you know, we just
529
00:22:10.650 --> 00:22:12.319
did the Hillary Duff and we're shooting, we shot her
530
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:15.279
in six K. And so, you know, now it's, it's
531
00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:17.630
heading towards eight K now it's like, you know, and,
532
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.079
the biggest mess on stuff like that, you do 30
533
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:21.829
cameras and 6k, the hard drives.
534
00:22:21.849 --> 00:22:24.950
Oh, it's like, you're talking hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
535
00:22:25.009 --> 00:22:26.130
and hundreds of gigabytes.
536
00:22:26.670 --> 00:22:27.430
Yeah.
537
00:22:27.470 --> 00:22:30.950
Terabytes. Yeah. Like, you know, you know, we, but, but
538
00:22:30.990 --> 00:22:34.509
you know, it's, um, but when I do that stuff though,
539
00:22:34.869 --> 00:22:36.660
I like doing the concert stuff to me is like
540
00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:40.720
an honor because, you know, I grew up watching concert films,
541
00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:43.410
like the last waltz and stuff like that. And, I
542
00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:45.890
know that people will be doing the same thing as kids.
543
00:22:45.910 --> 00:22:48.369
They'll be maybe discovering an artist for the first time
544
00:22:48.430 --> 00:22:51.099
by looking at one of our concert films. And so,
545
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.480
you know, that's why we do so many of these things. And,
546
00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:56.180
you know, I'm hoping that many years from now, even
547
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:58.240
after I'm dead, people look and they can see this,
548
00:22:58.779 --> 00:23:01.079
you know, this body of work and see these artists
549
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.619
in their glory.
550
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.509
Well, it's a part of their story. And I mean,
551
00:23:04.529 --> 00:23:07.490
this is the historical document, if you will. I mean,
552
00:23:07.549 --> 00:23:09.109
it truly is. And I think that people are going
553
00:23:09.130 --> 00:23:11.289
to love this. You know, Daniel, I really do appreciate
554
00:23:11.309 --> 00:23:14.190
your time. Congratulations on this doc and all the other
555
00:23:14.230 --> 00:23:15.190
things that you're working on.
556
00:23:15.569 --> 00:23:16.829
And hopefully we can.
557
00:23:17.250 --> 00:23:18.009
Where are you located?
558
00:23:18.349 --> 00:23:20.210
I'm in Houston. I'm in Houston, Texas.
559
00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:21.970
I knew you were in the South, but I was
560
00:23:21.990 --> 00:23:24.740
saying we're in Nashville. Our headquarters is in Nashville. And
561
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.799
we're at Nashville Film Festival next week because I have
562
00:23:26.819 --> 00:23:30.009
my Frampton doc there on opening night. And then we
563
00:23:30.029 --> 00:23:31.670
have a Hazen film that we did. But we have
564
00:23:31.710 --> 00:23:33.589
two films at Nashville Film Festival next week. I was
565
00:23:33.609 --> 00:23:34.980
going to invite you. But if you want to come up.
566
00:23:35.410 --> 00:23:35.950
But you know what?
567
00:23:35.970 --> 00:23:39.259
If I find myself in Nashville, I will definitely do that.
568
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:39.819
You know what, man?
569
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:43.700
Like, again, I can't sing the praises of this enough. It's, again,
570
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:46.640
Unleashed Spirits, The Rise of the Hollywood Vampires.
571
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.660
Everyone can go.
572
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:49.500
Well, not everyone can go see it. But it starts
573
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.000
September 18th at the Boston Wing. And that's where people
574
00:23:53.019 --> 00:23:55.220
are going to start seeing it. And, man, again, Daniel,
575
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.440
I really appreciate your time. Congratulations on this, man.
576
00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:57.730
Thank you.
577
00:23:58.319 --> 00:23:59.220
I appreciate it. Thank you, man.

So sorry. Oh, you're all good? I have a three-ring

circus going on here today.
56
00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:54.469
I'm sure it's a busy week.
57
00:01:54.549 --> 00:01:56.939
Well, I had a show last night down in San
58
00:01:56.950 --> 00:02:00.560
Diego with Godsmack, and I didn't get home until like
59
00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:03.900
four in the morning. And today has been nuts. I
60
00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:06.579
have workers around the house, so hopefully, like, I was
61
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.969
just outside telling the workers, like, You guys got to
62
00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:11.830
be quiet. I have like air blowers going on and everything. So,
63
00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:13.229
and I'm getting ready to, I leave in a few
64
00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:14.870
hours to go to the airport to head to Boston.
65
00:02:14.889 --> 00:02:15.610
To head to Boston.
66
00:02:15.789 --> 00:02:16.990
Yeah. Oh my goodness.
67
00:02:17.110 --> 00:02:17.349
Okay.
68
00:02:17.389 --> 00:02:18.750
Well, I won't, I won't keep.
69
00:02:18.810 --> 00:02:20.810
Hey, no, it's all good. Thank you for, thank you
70
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:21.289
for doing this.
71
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:21.990
No, no, no.
72
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.060
I appreciate it. Well, you know what?
73
00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:25.860
I'll have a, an intro already taped. So we'll jump
74
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.780
right in, man. I can't wait to talk about it.
75
00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:29.240
So Daniel, thank you so much for taking the time.
76
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:30.680
Congratulations on this.
77
00:02:31.539 --> 00:02:32.039
Oh, thank you.
78
00:02:32.659 --> 00:02:36.159
Look, I mean, when I think when people maybe hear
79
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:38.740
the name Hollywood Vampires, maybe they know about it.
80
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:39.699
Maybe they don't.
81
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:42.120
You know, I mean, I think that some people, when
82
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.699
you look at the members of the band, they're known
83
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.139
for several things. And maybe this doesn't jump out to
84
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.919
them at first. So what was it for you where
85
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.520
you realized, you know, this is not just a bunch
86
00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:56.280
of famous guys playing together. This is actually a real
87
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:57.719
band that has a really interesting story.
88
00:02:57.740 --> 00:02:59.360
Yeah.
89
00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:02.270
You know, so initially when we, when we were going
90
00:03:02.310 --> 00:03:03.830
to do this, we're just going to shoot a concert.
91
00:03:03.949 --> 00:03:05.629
And I, and I, you know, I talked to Paul Geary,
92
00:03:05.650 --> 00:03:08.849
their manager who I've known for years, um, you know,
93
00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:10.550
and I thought it'd be cool to document it. Cause
94
00:03:10.569 --> 00:03:14.860
you know, all these, these legends on stage, let's get it. And, um,
95
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.719
as we started talking about that and I started getting
96
00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:21.979
to know them, I started realizing there's a deeper story. Um,
97
00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:25.060
and it started like really becoming evident, uh, like, Hey,
98
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.110
this isn't what I would know what I thought, you know, I,
99
00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:29.409
I've been around a lot of like super groups in
100
00:03:29.430 --> 00:03:31.800
my life from Kings of Chaos to, you know, even
101
00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:35.340
Neurotic Outsiders years ago, the Matt Sorum's other group. But
102
00:03:35.419 --> 00:03:39.360
this one was different. There was a real like brotherhood
103
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.120
that they were forging. And they started like really seeing
104
00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:44.430
like they seem like a real band to me. And
105
00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:46.750
I even noticed it as we were prepping to shoot
106
00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:50.889
the live concert that they were starting to like become
107
00:03:50.930 --> 00:03:53.250
more of a unit. And so. I kind of, I
108
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.830
went back to him saying, Hey, I know we're just
109
00:03:54.849 --> 00:03:56.689
going to shoot a concert, but what about telling the
110
00:03:56.729 --> 00:04:00.849
story of the vampires here? Because this isn't like, you know,
111
00:04:01.250 --> 00:04:03.349
originally it was, you know, a drinking club and then
112
00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:05.389
they kind of created a bar band to have fun,
113
00:04:05.509 --> 00:04:08.129
but it became much more than a bar band. And,
114
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:11.539
and I thought there was a more interesting story there.
115
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.539
And so, you know, it just kind of unfolded naturally.
116
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.060
That was what was kind of cool about it. We
117
00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:18.300
never set out to kind of do a documentary. That
118
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.819
was never the initial, the original intention. But just like
119
00:04:21.870 --> 00:04:24.449
how the band came together organically, the kind of the
120
00:04:24.509 --> 00:04:27.310
idea to tell a story and make a documentary about it,
121
00:04:27.329 --> 00:04:31.329
that happened organically as well. So it was, you know,
122
00:04:31.350 --> 00:04:34.170
it just all unfolded on its own. And it was
123
00:04:34.430 --> 00:04:36.050
also as nice about it. We took our time and
124
00:04:36.069 --> 00:04:37.990
we kind of did it over a three year period.
125
00:04:38.389 --> 00:04:41.410
There was like no one telling us when to finish it. Right. Yeah.
126
00:04:41.430 --> 00:04:43.009
I mean, so you kind of let that, you know,
127
00:04:43.230 --> 00:04:45.730
whatever happens in that time happen and whatever it's done
128
00:04:45.790 --> 00:04:46.189
is done.
129
00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:46.790
You know, you're not.
130
00:04:47.149 --> 00:04:49.509
Have some meal with all these little nuggets, like these
131
00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:53.310
little side stories. And, you know, and like, it's, it's
132
00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:55.889
even crazy, even how, like, you know, the band we
133
00:04:55.949 --> 00:04:58.600
see in the documentary, the band being kind of put together.
134
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.439
It's amazing. We have that footage of the early days
135
00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:05.160
of like Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp with management and
136
00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:09.980
Bob Ezrin in Johnny Depp's kitchen discussing, Hey, are we
137
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.560
going to do this? And even like, even like a
138
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.899
business discussion with Johnny, like I think it was Bob
139
00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:18.149
Ezrin and, and, uh, you know, Bob and, and Shep
140
00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:20.300
were saying, Hey, you know, you can make more money
141
00:05:20.420 --> 00:05:23.180
in one week doing a movie than you can the
142
00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:25.579
entire time doing this project. And Shire was like, it's
143
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.779
not about that. It's not about the money, but we
144
00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:31.879
see the band form. But then more importantly, we show, we,
145
00:05:31.939 --> 00:05:34.889
we see the band kind of morph into like being
146
00:05:34.910 --> 00:05:37.629
their own, like towards the end there by the second album,
147
00:05:38.829 --> 00:05:41.389
you know, even Bob Ezrin didn't produce the second record.
148
00:05:41.509 --> 00:05:45.149
They kind of produced it internally with Tommy. Um, And
149
00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:48.250
we kind of see them just become like this organic group,
150
00:05:48.329 --> 00:05:52.490
almost like an up and coming band, you know, like
151
00:05:52.610 --> 00:05:55.959
that hasn't had success, that doesn't have real management or whatever,
152
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.660
because they kind of like they work as like a
153
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.180
brotherhood now, like a unit. It was it was really
154
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.360
kind of refreshing to see that because usually people at
155
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:03.959
that level.
156
00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:04.920
Right.
157
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.449
You kind of have handlers and it's just it's just
158
00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:10.009
a different animal. But when they make music together, it's
159
00:06:10.050 --> 00:06:10.430
just them.
160
00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:14.139
And like you said, even their origin story, all of
161
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.980
it's very rock and roll, right? I mean, it's just,
162
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.120
we're playing together. We're just some guys who want to
163
00:06:18.139 --> 00:06:20.300
get together. We don't care about all the red tape.
164
00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:22.240
We don't care what anybody says. We're just going to
165
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:23.990
do the damn thing, whether you like it or not.
166
00:06:24.589 --> 00:06:27.110
And so at what point, so when you decide, okay,
167
00:06:27.129 --> 00:06:29.410
we're going to do the documentary, not just the concert film,
168
00:06:29.930 --> 00:06:32.310
who had all this footage that you had access to?
169
00:06:32.769 --> 00:06:35.139
Well, so one, we initially didn't know about a lot
170
00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:39.259
of that footage. So I started with obviously with with Alice, because,
171
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.259
you know, this is Alice's story. I mean, Alice started
172
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.779
the Hollywood Vampires. And so I didn't make sure Alice
173
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.620
was OK with doing it. And, you know, we started
174
00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:49.350
out with a master interview with Alice. And the person
175
00:06:49.389 --> 00:06:52.990
I really stepped up that became the hero was Tommy.
176
00:06:53.589 --> 00:06:56.550
I mean, some of the most priceless, amazing footage of
177
00:06:56.569 --> 00:06:59.889
this whole film was Tommy, you know. Tommy just whips
178
00:06:59.930 --> 00:07:01.769
his cell phone out at four o'clock in the morning
179
00:07:01.790 --> 00:07:03.889
when he's sitting there writing songs with Johnny. I mean,
180
00:07:04.329 --> 00:07:05.920
fans are going to love that stuff. I mean, it's
181
00:07:05.949 --> 00:07:09.779
a real, you know, look, I mean, all these guys
182
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.160
are pros, right? But even pros act differently when a
183
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.620
professional camera crew comes in, you know? Right. Their guard
184
00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:18.779
is down when it's like their friend filming them on
185
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.680
a cell phone. You get to see the real them.
186
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.560
And so I, you know, Tommy was doing a dugout,
187
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.500
but believe it or not, Alice has a big archives.
188
00:07:26.540 --> 00:07:30.189
He has a friend of mine, Bob Pfeiffer. Bob oversees
189
00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:34.910
his archive and they keep everything. And so there was
190
00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:37.009
a treasure trove of stuff that we had from the
191
00:07:37.129 --> 00:07:40.189
70s and 80s and 90s from Alice to kind of
192
00:07:40.230 --> 00:07:42.810
tell the story of how we started the vampires. And
193
00:07:42.850 --> 00:07:47.100
then we had archival producers go after stuff. But the
194
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.199
stuff with them, a lot of that emanated from Tommy.
195
00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:52.439
Tommy was like religious about filming. And believe it or not,
196
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.560
in the early days, too, Matt Sorum, he filmed a
197
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.500
lot of stuff. He would always walk around with a camera.
198
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.019
And so I think some of the most special footage
199
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.180
is the stuff that was shot by the band, you know,
200
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.259
without me there, because you really, you know, they're just
201
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.720
being themselves. So if you really want to see what
202
00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:11.740
these guys are like in real life, well, that's it.
203
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.000
And the thing about a documentary too is, you know,
204
00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:18.230
different from a narrative film where, you know, you have
205
00:08:18.250 --> 00:08:20.310
the script and you know, it's beginning, middle and end.
206
00:08:20.310 --> 00:08:22.110
Here's what we need to shoot when we need to
207
00:08:22.149 --> 00:08:24.860
shoot it. A doc comes together in the edits That's
208
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.600
where the whole thing starts to come together. And I'm
209
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.720
sure the initial vision, it was way different, maybe not
210
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.639
way different, but different than what the end product was
211
00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:36.539
because you find all this footage or somebody says something
212
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.779
in an interview and it sparks a story. And now
213
00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:40.620
we got to hone in on that. We got to
214
00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:43.179
spend three, five minutes of the doc telling that story.
215
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.919
So when you were combing through this footage, what was
216
00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:48.799
the one or two golden nuggets, if you will, for
217
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:49.759
lack of a better term.
218
00:08:49.779 --> 00:08:52.279
Where you're like, I can't believe we actually have this?
219
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.519
The Paul McCartney segment I couldn't believe we had. I mean,
220
00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:58.460
they even forgot they had it, but I was like.
221
00:08:58.799 --> 00:08:59.559
How do you forget that?
222
00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:03.090
It was insane. I mean, just that whole thing. I mean,
223
00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:06.070
I joked to someone else, but can you imagine if
224
00:09:06.090 --> 00:09:08.250
you were like a pizza delivery guy or something, you
225
00:09:08.289 --> 00:09:10.649
show up and it's Johnny Depp's house and you look
226
00:09:10.730 --> 00:09:13.330
over and there's like Alice Cooper and Joe Perry and
227
00:09:13.370 --> 00:09:15.470
Paul McCartney and they're all just kind of hanging out.
228
00:09:15.549 --> 00:09:17.740
I mean, it was... no handlers or anything. It was
229
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.960
just this organic, amazing thing. These guys were just making
230
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.240
music together in like Johnny's converted garage, which is just insane. Um,
231
00:09:26.019 --> 00:09:29.620
but the, the fact that we had all that footage, um, wow,
232
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.820
that whole scene to me is like kind of the
233
00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:36.110
backbone of the film that really kind of shows what,
234
00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:38.350
what this band's all about and how they just come
235
00:09:38.370 --> 00:09:43.419
together and make music together. Um, and then, you know, um, God,
236
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.159
there's so many other great moments just seeing them in
237
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:46.759
their element.
238
00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:50.460
And I think that's like the vibe, just being around
239
00:09:50.500 --> 00:09:52.799
them is such an appeal of the movie.
240
00:09:52.830 --> 00:09:54.409
And then even seeing on stage.
241
00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:56.649
And I think what people are going to sometimes walk
242
00:09:56.690 --> 00:10:00.460
away thinking is, you knew Johnny did stuff. right people
243
00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:02.960
know johnny was musician but you know he's when you
244
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.679
say johnny depp they think actor johnny depp actor and
245
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.870
a great actor one of the greatest uh on screen um.
246
00:10:08.769 --> 00:10:11.340
But i think that's what i thought Right.
247
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.059
But I think people are going to be shocked. But
248
00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:15.360
like this guy goes like in the music.
249
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.679
He was always a musician. He never wanted to be
250
00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:19.940
an actor. You know, when he moved from Kentucky to
251
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:21.940
Florida and then Florida to L.A., it was always to
252
00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:25.679
be a rock star musician. He never intended. I mean,
253
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.799
he took an acting role in Nightmare on Elm Street
254
00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:29.480
to help pay the bills. But it was always he
255
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.220
still wanted to be a rock star.
256
00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:32.240
And.
257
00:10:33.009 --> 00:10:35.549
So, I mean, he's always had the chops and it's just,
258
00:10:35.590 --> 00:10:38.649
you know, but obviously when you become so well known
259
00:10:38.750 --> 00:10:41.309
for something that, you know, his acting is just so
260
00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:43.750
up here, you know, I guess a lot of people,
261
00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:45.990
it's hard to see him any other way, but hopefully
262
00:10:46.049 --> 00:10:50.070
after seeing this, he realized he's the real deal. You know, and, and,
263
00:10:50.090 --> 00:10:52.350
you know, I think, I think it comes across, you know,
264
00:10:52.370 --> 00:10:54.490
we say it without saying it, but, you know, guys
265
00:10:54.509 --> 00:10:57.429
like Joe Perry and Jeff Beck and even kind of
266
00:10:57.470 --> 00:11:00.980
Duff says it in the interview. I mean, these guys
267
00:11:01.009 --> 00:11:04.549
wouldn't go on stage without, and share a stage and share, like,
268
00:11:04.570 --> 00:11:07.309
Spallion with Johnny if he couldn't play. I mean, he's
269
00:11:07.370 --> 00:11:09.110
up there playing with the biggest and the best, and
270
00:11:09.149 --> 00:11:12.730
he's holding his own, and you really get to see
271
00:11:12.769 --> 00:11:15.370
what a real musician he is. I mean, he's the
272
00:11:15.409 --> 00:11:15.830
real deal.
273
00:11:16.330 --> 00:11:18.269
He's the real deal, and I think that, too, like,
274
00:11:18.309 --> 00:11:20.230
I think sometimes people think when there's a celebrity who's
275
00:11:20.269 --> 00:11:22.350
known for one thing, like acting, and then they go
276
00:11:22.389 --> 00:11:24.659
into music, oh, it's... you know, there's a bit of
277
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.450
a roll your eyes, but even someone like a John Stamos,
278
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.529
when he's playing drums with the Beach Boys, and then
279
00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:32.529
you look at his drumming videos, you're like, oh, like
280
00:11:32.549 --> 00:11:33.450
you can actually kind.
281
00:11:33.330 --> 00:11:33.929
Of do that.
282
00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:36.629
I went to John's house, and one of my friends, Grayson,
283
00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:40.879
who plays with Sepultura and stuff, and John's friends with him,
284
00:11:40.899 --> 00:11:42.679
and I ended up going to John's house, and they'd
285
00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:44.620
have like a drum off, they're just like, John like
286
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.779
just geeks out about drumming, and like he has a
287
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.720
studio up in his house with all his drum sets,
288
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.470
and he takes it really seriously, like And then same
289
00:11:52.490 --> 00:11:54.750
thing with Johnny. Johnny takes his playing really seriously. I mean,
290
00:11:54.769 --> 00:11:57.269
he has a studio in his house. There's guitars everywhere.
291
00:11:57.289 --> 00:12:00.730
I mean, I think it's his first true love.
292
00:12:01.509 --> 00:12:02.029
Right.
293
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:04.779
So you get to see inside that world. So I think,
294
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.059
you know, any fan that wasn't aware of this will
295
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.179
be really surprised. But I think it's cool for Johnny
296
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.620
to get the validation from guys like Joe and Jeff.
297
00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:16.860
I mean, the fact that you look at all that
298
00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:19.070
old footage of when he was out with Jeff Beck
299
00:12:19.110 --> 00:12:21.889
on the road. I mean, he's holding his own with
300
00:12:21.929 --> 00:12:23.269
one of the greatest guitar players ever.
301
00:12:23.690 --> 00:12:24.549
Of all time, yeah.
302
00:12:25.129 --> 00:12:25.529
It's crazy.
303
00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:27.110
It's insane. It's insane.
304
00:12:27.149 --> 00:12:28.570
And that's what people are going to be able to see.
305
00:12:28.909 --> 00:12:33.649
And again, when you talk about it starting off as
306
00:12:33.669 --> 00:12:38.350
this concert film and evolving into what it did, it
307
00:12:38.389 --> 00:12:41.269
wouldn't be as interesting if the tunes weren't good.
308
00:12:41.570 --> 00:12:42.389
Do you know what I mean?
309
00:12:42.450 --> 00:12:45.470
These guys actually, they're a great group.
310
00:12:45.509 --> 00:12:47.480
They're not just like, they are a super group.
311
00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:50.509
They're a bar band, but they're great. no overproduced. I mean,
312
00:12:50.529 --> 00:12:53.230
the first album was obviously covers and then, but as
313
00:12:53.289 --> 00:12:55.740
they started writing their own music. And so that's why, like,
314
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.460
you know, I started saying, I go, there's another story here.
315
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.480
You guys are actually becoming like a real band. Um,
316
00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:04.440
it's no longer just this fun side thing anymore. Uh,
317
00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:07.899
like these other super groups or, you know, like as, as,
318
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.799
as Alice would say, a bar band, uh, and bar
319
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.080
bands don't go out and in headline arenas, uh, in Europe.
320
00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:16.480
And so, you know, and it was interesting just to
321
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.370
be able to see that story morph. And, uh, And also,
322
00:13:19.389 --> 00:13:20.769
you know, I learned a lot. I mean, I've been
323
00:13:20.789 --> 00:13:22.289
around for a long time and I've done a lot
324
00:13:22.309 --> 00:13:24.590
of music docs and I work with a lot of artists,
325
00:13:24.649 --> 00:13:26.950
but you know, I wasn't that, and I was an
326
00:13:26.990 --> 00:13:29.149
Alice Cooper fan as a kid, but I wasn't aware
327
00:13:29.169 --> 00:13:31.950
of like, he was like the nucleus of a whole
328
00:13:31.990 --> 00:13:34.940
like Hollywood social scene, 70s. I mean, I joked with him.
329
00:13:34.950 --> 00:13:36.789
He's like the original Paris Hilton. I mean, he was
330
00:13:36.809 --> 00:13:39.230
the guy that everybody wanted to hang out with. There's
331
00:13:39.269 --> 00:13:41.710
a funny scene towards the end of the movie where
332
00:13:41.730 --> 00:13:44.389
I'm with him in the rainbow room. And he's like,
333
00:13:44.409 --> 00:13:45.620
you know, and he was just talking about what it
334
00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:48.240
wasn't a big deal. And I'm like, it wasn't a
335
00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:50.179
big deal that he having drinks with John Lennon on
336
00:13:50.220 --> 00:13:52.970
Tuesday night. I was like, why? It's just like the
337
00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:55.110
way it is. Like, Oh yeah. Cause they were just
338
00:13:55.169 --> 00:13:57.450
regular guys. I'm like, they weren't regular guys.
339
00:13:57.470 --> 00:13:58.389
They were the Beatles.
340
00:13:58.509 --> 00:14:00.909
They were hanging out with the Beatles and Keith moon
341
00:14:00.950 --> 00:14:03.830
having drinks. Like that is not normal. It's just, it's not,
342
00:14:03.909 --> 00:14:06.629
it's like, but it's the way in these like, yeah, maybe.
343
00:14:06.669 --> 00:14:12.129
And I'm like, Jesus, I, you know, just incredible stories.
344
00:14:12.490 --> 00:14:14.029
And I mean, I could have made a whole doc
345
00:14:14.070 --> 00:14:16.379
just on that, but, You know, we had to get
346
00:14:16.470 --> 00:14:19.250
to the present day to, you know, to talk about.
347
00:14:19.409 --> 00:14:21.289
And another cool thing is we shot a full, I
348
00:14:21.470 --> 00:14:24.850
shot a full show at the Bach Center Wang Theater
349
00:14:25.269 --> 00:14:27.809
in Boston. So eventually that'll come out as a standalone.
350
00:14:28.289 --> 00:14:30.090
But we shot the full concert and we only have
351
00:14:30.129 --> 00:14:33.169
little segments of it in the movie. But, you know,
352
00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:35.529
I shot a full concert with 24 cameras and 4K.
353
00:14:35.570 --> 00:14:38.580
So we have a whole separate thing that'll eventually come out.
354
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.200
OK, those are my those are going to be two
355
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.139
questions that we'll wrap on, because I know you have
356
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:44.899
a lot going on. I appreciate your time. And again,
357
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.159
we're talking about Unleashed Spirits, The Rise of the Hollywood Vampires,
358
00:14:48.710 --> 00:14:51.669
which its debut is world premiere is September the 18th
359
00:14:51.710 --> 00:14:52.649
at the Boston Wang Theater.
360
00:14:52.669 --> 00:14:54.090
That's where you're getting ready to go to.
361
00:14:55.289 --> 00:14:57.409
Two things, by the way, we've sold all over a
362
00:14:57.450 --> 00:15:01.409
thousand tickets, which is insane because, you know, movie premieres
363
00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:04.460
are like, you know, Movie theaters sold 100, 150 people.
364
00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:06.360
Even premieres usually at 400 or 500. I mean, the
365
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.919
fact we're going to have probably a couple thousand people
366
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.259
in a movie premiere, it's mind-boggling.
367
00:15:12.350 --> 00:15:13.509
Well, what's crazy, too, is.
368
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.080
If anybody sees just a clip, just a trailer of this,
369
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.259
even if you're a periphery rock and roll fan and
370
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.860
you just like Hollywood intrigue of any kind, I mean,
371
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.500
there's so many. This isn't just a rock doc. This
372
00:15:26.539 --> 00:15:28.679
goes out to so many kinds of people who I
373
00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:31.259
think are going to be. And that's, I think, evident
374
00:15:31.299 --> 00:15:33.440
by the great turnout you're going to have.
375
00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:34.379
But two things.
376
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.799
One, when you see some of that early photography and
377
00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:40.399
you're seeing, you know, like you said, Lennon and you're
378
00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:45.600
seeing Ringo. and all these guys coming in to the, uh, to, to, to,
379
00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:48.159
to drink with Alice and his social club and be
380
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:49.980
part of the quote unquote Hollywood vampires.
381
00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:51.200
It's just such an.
382
00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:54.990
A bygone era that I just wish still existed in
383
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:55.669
some realm.
384
00:15:55.730 --> 00:15:58.029
I think that's, as Alice said, you couldn't do it
385
00:15:58.070 --> 00:16:00.269
today because of social media and stuff. I mean, they
386
00:16:00.309 --> 00:16:03.629
had anonymity, they, they had privacy. They could, they could
387
00:16:03.649 --> 00:16:05.590
sneak in and out of there nowadays with all the
388
00:16:05.629 --> 00:16:08.610
cameras and everything. I mean, it just, you know, it's
389
00:16:08.649 --> 00:16:11.240
so different. Um, I mean, what a cool thing, but
390
00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:13.080
can you just imagine back in those days, if you
391
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.220
happen to get up into that crow's nest area and you,
392
00:16:15.610 --> 00:16:18.690
you look up and you see, you know, all those
393
00:16:18.730 --> 00:16:22.210
guys together, you would be like, what? You know, it just,
394
00:16:22.269 --> 00:16:25.769
it's just crazy. And, uh, you know, what a cool brotherhood.
395
00:16:25.789 --> 00:16:28.539
Like they were all super close, uh, you know, and
396
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.080
they all still are. I mean, you can see it
397
00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:32.740
cause that's like the common thread. Like, you know, Alice
398
00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:35.360
has always had this friendship and brotherhood with his peers.
399
00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:38.279
and they all have a mutual respect for each other.
400
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.700
So it's kind of cool that they can come together
401
00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:40.360
and make music.
402
00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:42.440
It would be just incredible to be a fly on
403
00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:43.179
the wall back then.
404
00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:44.659
I was talking to.
405
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.039
Even now, I've been a fly on the wall now.
406
00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:49.779
It was, I mean- Amazing. I still picture myself. I
407
00:16:49.820 --> 00:16:51.299
work with a lot of artists, but like, you know,
408
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.200
when you're around people who are kind of legends and
409
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.860
icons and, you know, that you grew up watching and
410
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.779
then to be in their world and just to be trusted,
411
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.519
just be around them, it's pretty wild. I mean, I mean,
412
00:17:03.570 --> 00:17:08.950
picture myself, you know, I don't get nervous. I speak
413
00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:11.890
a lot in public, but I'm freaking out. I'm going
414
00:17:11.910 --> 00:17:14.819
to be on the stage with Joe and Alice and Tommy.
415
00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:19.099
Eddie Trunk is moderating it on Friday night. There's going
416
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.640
to be a couple thousand people there. That's an intimidating stage.
417
00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:23.839
That stage at the Wang Center, that's where we shot
418
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:29.339
the concert part. It's a big stage. I pinch myself
419
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:31.000
on that stuff. I don't take it for granted. It's
420
00:17:31.019 --> 00:17:32.380
pretty cool, actually.
421
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:35.099
Never thought you'd be in this position.
422
00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:37.920
No, no, no, no, no. I never even thought I'd
423
00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:39.279
go into entertainment, to be honest with you. I thought
424
00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:43.240
I was going to be a lawyer. But I'd say it's, yeah, yeah.
425
00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:45.140
I never take it for granted. I realize how lucky
426
00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:48.559
I am. And it's pretty cool. You know, I always say, like,
427
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.240
when it comes to this project, I pinch my, like,
428
00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:52.920
16-year-old self. I remember, like, one of my most vivid
429
00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:55.599
memories of high school was my friend and I snuck
430
00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:59.019
into Aerosmith Pump Tour at Brendenburn Arena in New Jersey.
431
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.160
And we snuck into the backstage tunnel. Like, we snuck
432
00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:06.380
down the ramp. And I'll never forget that. And like,
433
00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:08.700
here I am now, like, you know, I have Joe
434
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.390
Perry's cell phone. It's just, it's weird.
435
00:18:11.569 --> 00:18:12.569
It's crazy, right?
436
00:18:12.589 --> 00:18:16.650
It's weird. It's so, you know, and it's, you know,
437
00:18:16.910 --> 00:18:18.730
that type of stuff just, you know, it gets you
438
00:18:18.750 --> 00:18:21.880
super excited and like appreciative to even do stuff like this.
439
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.079
Oh, it's, it's always a pinch me moment.
440
00:18:24.099 --> 00:18:26.400
I agree. Sometimes when you get to meet your heroes
441
00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:27.339
and one of the things I was going to say,
442
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.960
I was talking to a guy, he used to be
443
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.720
a pro wrestling manager back in the day.
444
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:32.509
Jimmy Hart is his name.
445
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:35.759
And he was in a group called the Gentries who
446
00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.960
were signed to Sun Records.
447
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.140
And he talked to me about, oh.
448
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.960
Yeah, we'd go in Sam Phillips' studio and there's Elvis
449
00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:44.160
and Jerry Lee and they're like working on a tune.
450
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:45.819
And I'm like, oh my gosh, I wish I.
451
00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:47.809
Was with you. To stumble into that, it's like what?
452
00:18:47.869 --> 00:18:48.730
Just to stumble into it.
453
00:18:48.769 --> 00:18:51.049
What are you talking about? Okay, when you shoot a
454
00:18:51.109 --> 00:18:53.069
concert film though, this is really what I want to
455
00:18:53.089 --> 00:18:57.250
know because you said 24 cameras, 4K. I can't imagine
456
00:18:57.289 --> 00:19:01.029
the undertaking that that truly is. It's not as simple as,
457
00:19:01.650 --> 00:19:04.369
hitting record and letting it go. I mean, the sound's
458
00:19:04.410 --> 00:19:06.230
got to be right. The crowd has to be, everything
459
00:19:06.269 --> 00:19:08.740
has to be mic'd in such a certain way. How
460
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:11.299
gargantuan of an undertaking was that?
461
00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:12.920
Is it as difficult as I think it is?
462
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.839
Fortunately for me, and I've been doing that, that's what
463
00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:18.339
I've done the most. I'm most known for my concert specials,
464
00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:20.660
you know, and I've done over 300 of them. And
465
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.789
I even have the world record for the most cameras
466
00:19:22.849 --> 00:19:25.250
ever used in a live concert special. When I did
467
00:19:25.329 --> 00:19:30.269
Creed in 2009, I did 239 cameras. But You know,
468
00:19:30.289 --> 00:19:32.400
it gets a little overwhelming. I mean, like every time
469
00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:34.220
we do it, I always like pinch myself, like, how
470
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.039
do we make this look so simple? But, you know,
471
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.980
I have the same team. We've been working together for
472
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.990
a long time. I have some people like my my
473
00:19:41.029 --> 00:19:45.410
assistant's been with me 26 years. But, you know, it's
474
00:19:45.430 --> 00:19:47.250
like rinse and repeat for us. But, you know, some
475
00:19:47.289 --> 00:19:49.509
are more complex than others on the vampires one. Uh,
476
00:19:50.250 --> 00:19:52.130
it was a pretty complex shoot. I mean, our crew
477
00:19:52.190 --> 00:19:54.410
is about a hundred people. Uh, we had a big
478
00:19:54.410 --> 00:19:58.930
53 foot TV truck there. Um, it was, you know,
479
00:19:58.970 --> 00:20:00.799
a pretty layered crew too. So we had over a
480
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.519
hundred on our team and then it was a union shoot.
481
00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:05.880
So we had all the union people too. So there's probably, uh,
482
00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:09.980
160 170 people on the crew um but you know
483
00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:13.960
technically you know multi-camera is difficult but you know when
484
00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:16.119
you use the tv trucks all the cameras come into
485
00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.849
i have a big control room so it looks like
486
00:20:17.950 --> 00:20:21.369
i'm at norad um you know we brought in one
487
00:20:21.390 --> 00:20:24.490
of the the audio engineers for the band justin who
488
00:20:24.869 --> 00:20:27.630
was a great help because he knew the band really
489
00:20:27.670 --> 00:20:30.670
well um But yeah, I mean, you know, and we
490
00:20:30.710 --> 00:20:32.880
treat it like it's live when we do our shows. Like,
491
00:20:32.890 --> 00:20:35.079
it doesn't matter who it is. Like, we cut it
492
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.839
like it's live. I call I'll actually call the show live.
493
00:20:37.900 --> 00:20:39.240
So then we come out of there with what's called
494
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.380
a line cut. And then it makes our posts a
495
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.920
little faster. But, you know, some shoots are more complex.
496
00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:47.549
So we just did Katy Perry in Paris and Katy
497
00:20:47.589 --> 00:20:50.769
was 60 camera angles over two nights. And that was
498
00:20:50.789 --> 00:20:54.220
done more film style with with Ari Alexa. So. that
499
00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:56.160
was actually a lot more complex because then we try
500
00:20:56.180 --> 00:20:57.960
to piece it together to make it look like one show,
501
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:00.019
but the show, like the vampires, you can't really do
502
00:21:00.059 --> 00:21:03.519
that because they don't play to a click track. Right.
503
00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:06.740
So it would be hard to match, you know, because of.
504
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.990
The rhythm, because the tempo might be a little bit different.
505
00:21:09.329 --> 00:21:11.490
And with the pop artists, when they're playing along to
506
00:21:11.509 --> 00:21:14.329
a click or whatever, you can, everything will match perfectly. Uh,
507
00:21:14.890 --> 00:21:16.910
but with rock bands, we usually just go for it.
508
00:21:16.990 --> 00:21:18.690
But I mean, we had that place covered. I mean,
509
00:21:18.730 --> 00:21:20.609
it was a tremendous amount of cameras for such a
510
00:21:21.230 --> 00:21:24.440
small room. Uh, I'm a little bit of a camera whore, though.
511
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.380
I love coverage. I mean, I put cameras everywhere. So,
512
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.619
you know, most people would probably would have shot that
513
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.880
show with like 10 cameras. I you know, I I
514
00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:34.700
just I go crazy.
515
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.759
You want you want as much as you can.
516
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.160
Right. Like you want to play in the edit. Right.
517
00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:44.329
A little overkill sometimes. You know, but I take it seriously, too,
518
00:21:44.390 --> 00:21:47.529
because also it's because like these guys are legends and like, yeah.
519
00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:50.240
in a weird way when I do their concerts, I,
520
00:21:50.420 --> 00:21:52.240
I feel like I'm like in a story and like
521
00:21:52.259 --> 00:21:53.759
kind of capturing a moment in time.
522
00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:56.079
And, you know, that is what you are.
523
00:21:56.099 --> 00:21:58.230
You, you want to have as much value to it
524
00:21:58.269 --> 00:22:00.869
as possible. So 20, 30 years from now, when people
525
00:22:00.890 --> 00:22:02.990
want to look back on and learn about these guys,
526
00:22:03.069 --> 00:22:05.230
you have all the different angles and you, you know,
527
00:22:05.269 --> 00:22:08.650
have it in a certain quality level. Um, and so,
528
00:22:08.670 --> 00:22:10.619
you know, now we're shooting like, you know, we just
529
00:22:10.650 --> 00:22:12.319
did the Hillary Duff and we're shooting, we shot her
530
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:15.279
in six K. And so, you know, now it's, it's
531
00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:17.630
heading towards eight K now it's like, you know, and,
532
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.079
the biggest mess on stuff like that, you do 30
533
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:21.829
cameras and 6k, the hard drives.
534
00:22:21.849 --> 00:22:24.950
Oh, it's like, you're talking hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
535
00:22:25.009 --> 00:22:26.130
and hundreds of gigabytes.
536
00:22:26.670 --> 00:22:27.430
Yeah.
537
00:22:27.470 --> 00:22:30.950
Terabytes. Yeah. Like, you know, you know, we, but, but
538
00:22:30.990 --> 00:22:34.509
you know, it's, um, but when I do that stuff though,
539
00:22:34.869 --> 00:22:36.660
I like doing the concert stuff to me is like
540
00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:40.720
an honor because, you know, I grew up watching concert films,
541
00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:43.410
like the last waltz and stuff like that. And, I
542
00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:45.890
know that people will be doing the same thing as kids.
543
00:22:45.910 --> 00:22:48.369
They'll be maybe discovering an artist for the first time
544
00:22:48.430 --> 00:22:51.099
by looking at one of our concert films. And so,
545
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.480
you know, that's why we do so many of these things. And,
546
00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:56.180
you know, I'm hoping that many years from now, even
547
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:58.240
after I'm dead, people look and they can see this,
548
00:22:58.779 --> 00:23:01.079
you know, this body of work and see these artists
549
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.619
in their glory.
550
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.509
Well, it's a part of their story. And I mean,
551
00:23:04.529 --> 00:23:07.490
this is the historical document, if you will. I mean,
552
00:23:07.549 --> 00:23:09.109
it truly is. And I think that people are going
553
00:23:09.130 --> 00:23:11.289
to love this. You know, Daniel, I really do appreciate
554
00:23:11.309 --> 00:23:14.190
your time. Congratulations on this doc and all the other
555
00:23:14.230 --> 00:23:15.190
things that you're working on.
556
00:23:15.569 --> 00:23:16.829
And hopefully we can.
557
00:23:17.250 --> 00:23:18.009
Where are you located?
558
00:23:18.349 --> 00:23:20.210
I'm in Houston. I'm in Houston, Texas.
559
00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:21.970
I knew you were in the South, but I was
560
00:23:21.990 --> 00:23:24.740
saying we're in Nashville. Our headquarters is in Nashville. And
561
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.799
we're at Nashville Film Festival next week because I have
562
00:23:26.819 --> 00:23:30.009
my Frampton doc there on opening night. And then we
563
00:23:30.029 --> 00:23:31.670
have a Hazen film that we did. But we have
564
00:23:31.710 --> 00:23:33.589
two films at Nashville Film Festival next week. I was
565
00:23:33.609 --> 00:23:34.980
going to invite you. But if you want to come up.
566
00:23:35.410 --> 00:23:35.950
But you know what?
567
00:23:35.970 --> 00:23:39.259
If I find myself in Nashville, I will definitely do that.
568
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:39.819
You know what, man?
569
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:43.700
Like, again, I can't sing the praises of this enough. It's, again,
570
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:46.640
Unleashed Spirits, The Rise of the Hollywood Vampires.
571
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.660
Everyone can go.
572
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:49.500
Well, not everyone can go see it. But it starts
573
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.000
September 18th at the Boston Wing. And that's where people
574
00:23:53.019 --> 00:23:55.220
are going to start seeing it. And, man, again, Daniel,
575
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.440
I really appreciate your time. Congratulations on this, man.
576
00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:57.730
Thank you.
577
00:23:58.319 --> 00:23:59.220
I appreciate it. Thank you, man.
