[B] Michael?
Can you
Well, I don't know, maybe I'm not right.
I don't know, man.
I really don't.
You do, man.
You're just, you know, like saying that, man.
If you really wanted to, you could really do it.
What?
You mean the first time I ever played, right?
Sure, man.
I've heard you do stuff the first time really good.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of something.
Well, can we give you some ideas?
Instead of that fast, choppy stuff, see, it's supposed to be a long, smooth, kind of slow,
flowing thing, you know?
If you want to do it fast, choppy, you can do it.
You know, it's supposed to be like a boat, not feel like horses clopping or something,
you know?
It's supposed to be a long, kind of smooth thing.
And what we're doing is a kind of a thing that goes
[E]
that kind of feeling, you know?
You get more of what we're trying to do anyway, if that's what you want to do, which I think
is
[Am]
Okay, let's try it.
One, [A] two, one, two, three.
[E]
[Ab] You should be playing cross between a shuffle and a jazz waltz, Mike, if you can get that [A] feeling.
[E]
[A] Can you come in with the rest of us, man, and try to do [E] something that's gentle?
Maybe, you know, maybe.
I don't know.
Well, I think you probably can, man.
It's like a count of four, and then we start.
I think you've done that before.
[A] And then try something gentle.
Try something [D] pretty.
[C]
[A] It's not the Andromeda, you know, if you're just doing a scene.
[Am] [F] [A] [C] Yeah, I know, you don't like anything, man, until [E] you get it down right, and then you
like it a lot.
And the only reason that you don't like it is because you haven't got it.
That's always the reason, and that's always the way you do it.
So why don't you instead just do it?
I think you're doing [Ab] it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
[A]
You're doing it wrong.
[Em]
You're doing it wrong.
I think [N] you're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
You're doing it wrong.
So do you, man.
Hey, Dave, come on, real close to it.
Sounded real good.
Let's get into it one more time.
Yeah, how about let's make the video.
Play outside.
It really sounded real good, man.
Let's try it.
Okay, 12 rolling.
Here we go.
[A]
One, two, three.
[E]
[N] All right, 14.
You're not going to get any more fucking attention either.
I don't care, you understand, I'm not.
Try playing right.
What do you mean, try playing right?
What do you know what the fuck's right and what's wrong?
What do you know?
I've heard you play [E] before, Michael.
I know you.
I know when you're just fucking up.
And when you're playing, dig it.
Come on, [N] Michael, let's make the record.
Do it outside.
You're just fucking off, you know, you're doing your number.
[E] You're hiding in your left pocket.
[A] Come [Am] on, let's go.
One, two, [E] three.
[E] Hold up, hold up, hold up.
[F] Roger and Dave and Chris, they all agreed that he should be playing a snare and a [B] cymbal
in the release of the thing.
Did you hear what I said?
What?
No.
Yeah, [F] we heard what you said, but we don't know what you mean.
But you know, you're not going to get any more attention either.
I mean, you know, the little chorus you go into there before the bridge.
[Db] Yeah.
That should be broken up by the drum going on snare and cymbal and living it a whole thing out.
Otherwise, it's just no change at all.
The guitarist can't make that [N] change.
Yeah, okay, man.
[F] Well, someone nod the mic in that spot because he's [Eb] not doing it.
Okay.
[A] Hey, [B] what the fuck's the matter with you, motherfucker?
[B] Fuck you, man.
Say it a little bit.
[Gb] Can't you play the drums?
You don't like me, man?
You don't know how to play?
Send me away and get it.
We love you.
[A] We want your money.
[D] [Bb]
[E] I don't even know.
[B] My gosh.
[C] One day.
Nobody understands you.
You don't have to get your reason.
The more [E] you're immune.
I didn't even like.
Well, I didn't say that.
I didn't even like the song.
I don't [Em] like you.
What are you in the group for?
Yeah, but it's [D] making you right now.
Yeah, [Db] Mike, [F] he just started off in that room shot thing, didn't switch over to the snare
on that little release where Michael nodded, where Chris [Abm] nodded.
It's been fucking done a hundred thousand, man.
You understand?
It's been done.
Thousands of times.
We're not trying to get you to do one simple thing right, man.
It's been done, so what's the hang up?
There's something else to do, you know?
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's better than playing straight through one thing, Mike.
Well, I can break it up just as easy with a riff, you know?
Well, fine, let's try it.
I mean, do something.
I just think it should be doing something [Ab] there to add to that release.
It doesn't have to be that particular thing, but let's try something else to break it up.
[A]
[E] I can't get it going, man.
[C] [Gb]
[A] I don't like any of the songs.
Yeah, I know that, [Ab] man.
Count it off.
Here we go.
One, two, three.
That's what you [A] don't like?
[Gb] Quiet.
One, two, one, two, three.
