"Hey, it's Lars from Metallica.
I'm about to stick 50 grand up your ass."
:06:08
One dollar at a time.
:06:14
l was telling Lars last night,
:06:17
that was hard for me to see
you guys squirm like you were.
:06:21
- Yeah.
- Because I wanted to say anything,
:06:23
and it's not my place to say anything.
:06:25
l can't imagine Bono or The Edge
going on the radio saying...
:06:33
what you guys are being asked to say.
:06:36
- Dad, can I have one of those?
- Go for it.
:06:41
Shall we catch up
on all this radio stuff?
:06:43
- Uh-huh.
- OK.
:06:45
Now, they're the biggest chain in America.
:06:48
You know, it's like 75, 80 stations
or something.
:06:52
And if you guys think
it's crappy, as a radio thing,
:06:57
those guys think it's good.
l mean, that's their idea.
:07:01
We didn't come up with that.
So, strategically...
:07:04
Why are we doing it, then?
Just to make them happy?
:07:08
Yes. That's exactly what they're doing.
:07:11
And, they won't say, "Fuck you,
you never do anything for us."
:07:17
"We're gonna fuck you
on the next record."
:07:19
People would do that?
:07:21
"Because you didn't give us something,
we're going to fuck you"?
:07:26
Yes, James. They would.
:07:29
I'm not saying that they can
always get away with it...
:07:33
That's so funny.
:07:34
- ...but it wouldn't stop them from trying.
- I'm glad it's your world.
:07:38
l understand the "wash your back,
you wash mine" thing.
:07:42
"Wash my... l'll wash your back
so you don't stab mine"...
:07:47
- Right.
- ...is more like it.
:07:48
OK. Why don't we get
off the phone, then?
:07:51
Well, you know, we should have
this conversation some more next week.
:07:54
- Later.
- OK. See ya. Bye-bye.
:07:57
That's insanity. "We're gonna hurt you
'cause we didn't get something."
