it's a Corey issue.

709

That situation's
unfortunate because I think

710

both of us let our egos get in the way.

That's why I'd asked him
to get on Tickets.

He obviously had mutual respect too

715
00:37:59.196 --> 00:38:00.489
because he cut a verse.

716
00:38:00.489 --> 00:38:03.492

717
00:38:03.492 --> 00:38:07.454
like, "Oh, you know, this wasn't exactly
what I was looking for, can we try this?"

718
00:38:07.454 --> 00:38:09.790
And respectfully
he was like, you know, "No."

00:38:09.790 --> 00:38:12.960
And I was like, "Okay, cool,"
so we didn't use it.

720
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:17.089
You know, then I heard him on a podcast.

stay up past 11:00

BAZEXX: The content and the sonic
sound of "Mainstream Sellout"

1068
00:57:31.493 --> 00:57:34.997
was a continuation
of "Tickets" for a reason,

1069
00:57:34.997 --> 00:57:38.083
because all of the issues
that "Tickets" left off with,

1070
00:57:38.083 --> 00:57:39.668
there was no resolution.

1071
00:57:39.668 --> 00:57:44.339
It was like you left off
on like, "I'm lost."

1072
00:57:44.339 --> 00:57:46.258
So, I mean, I think for the second record,

1073
00:57:46.258 --> 00:57:49.136
when we went back into the studio,
we knew we had to follow it up.

1074
00:57:49.136 --> 00:57:51.555
I think we knew that we could take
our time a little bit

1075
00:57:51.555 --> 00:57:54.016
because people were gonna be, all eyes
were gonna be on this,

1076
00:57:54.016 --> 00:57:57.227
so I think that there
was a lot of pressure.

1077
00:57:57.227 --> 00:57:59.605
You know, everybody was checking for this
when it came out,

1078
00:57:59.605 --> 00:58:01.440
so we wanted to make sure
when it did come out

1079
00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:03.150
that it was perfect, that it was good.

1080
00:58:06.570 --> 00:58:08.405
- Mainstream Sellout is like,

1081
00:58:08.405 --> 00:58:11.116

never really please everybody,

"Is that what we're doing?"

1182
01:03:46.785 --> 01:03:48.453
I think there was times when he was like,

1183
01:03:48.453 --> 01:03:51.957
"How can we do that again?
There's no fucking way."

1184
01:03:51.957 --> 01:03:54.751
So we need to make it different.
It has to be different.

don't overthink it and don't
take ourselves too serious.

1187
01:04:00.340 --> 01:04:02.759
I think in the beginning
at first when we came in,

1188
01:04:02.759 --> 01:04:06.346
it's gotta be serious and you just feel
like you have so much to prove,

1189
01:04:06.346 --> 01:04:08.932
and then once you get a couple of records
under your belt

1190
01:04:08.932 --> 01:04:10.601
and you're listening back
and you're going,

1191
01:04:10.601 --> 01:04:15.272
"Whoa, we have five, six records that are
really fucking great,"

1192

It's DSPs. What do we need to...

1346
01:12:33.604 --> 01:12:36.732
MAN: We need to be
turning in DSPs like today,

1347
01:12:36.732 --> 01:12:38.442
like now, right now.

1348
01:12:40.402 --> 01:12:42.905
I mean, we've been talking
about this forever, Kells.

1349
01:12:42.905 --> 01:12:45.324
Like I need the final masters like now.

1350
01:12:45.324 --> 01:12:46.992
- I'm putting out another album this year,
Steve,

1351
01:12:46.992 --> 01:12:48.785
so I don't know what
we're talking about.

1352
01:12:48.785 --> 01:12:51.413
STEVE: I know, will you listen?
Well, let me finish then.

1353
01:12:51.413 --> 01:12:53.624
Fuck. I'm not saying you can't
come out with another one.

1354
01:12:53.624 --> 01:12:56.418
What I'm saying is,
this is still a marathon of good music.

1355
01:12:56.418 --> 01:12:59.004
You can come out with "Tickets,"
still gonna be played on tour,

1356
01:12:59.004 --> 01:13:02.633
that's a fucking album from a year ago,
but it's fucking great music.

1357
01:13:02.633 --> 01:13:05.469
You're continuing to grow
to be the biggest rock star in the world.

1358
01:13:05.469 --> 01:13:07.513
You wanna do that,
then that music has to continue

1359
01:13:07.513 --> 01:13:10.015
to be listened to
10 years from now.

1360
01:13:10.015 --> 01:13:13.060
Not like, "Oh, we're on to new music."

1361
01:13:13.060 --> 01:13:18.232
New people are finding "Hotel Diablo"
because of how much bigger you are.

1362
01:13:18.232 --> 01:13:23.153
I have people that have just heard it for
the first fuckin' time, period.

1363
01:13:23.153 --> 01:13:27.407
So, what I'm trying to finish my statement

1364
01:13:27.407 --> 01:13:29.868
off of what Abs just said,
and I think all of us can win from,

1365
01:13:29.868 --> 01:13:32.955
is actually go shoot more,
because you know what,

1366
01:13:32.955 --> 01:13:34.873
the list that Nick's
putting over to send to us

1367
01:13:34.873 --> 01:13:38.585
is you having to deliver more than ever
because of how big you've gotten.

1368
01:13:38.585 --> 01:13:41.839
There's more work
that goes into that success.

1369
01:13:41.839 --> 01:13:45.008
It also may mean why you can take a year
off down the road or whatever

1370
01:13:45.008 --> 01:13:47.761
because you're flooding
so much great stuff.

1371
01:13:47.761 --> 01:13:51.640
So my thought is, what Abs is saying
and everybody is,

1372
01:13:51.640 --> 01:13:53.892
Nick, maybe this resolves
some of the stuff

1373
01:13:53.892 --> 01:13:56.645
that John and Gary really need Colson
to lean in,

1374
01:13:56.645 --> 01:14:00.315
fuckin' hate it, but lean in
and go really hard

1375
01:14:00.315 --> 01:14:02.234
with this content, this music,

1376
01:14:02.234 --> 01:14:03.944
maybe even more album covers.

1377
01:14:03.944 --> 01:14:06.780

are kind of like a journal

1379

he wanted to get number one,

1677
01:30:46.905 --> 01:30:50.242
but it's like number one's
the loneliest number.

1678
01:30:50.242 --> 01:30:53.579
- Slim and Baze and Rook and Dub

1679
01:30:53.579 --> 01:30:57.666
and all these people that I will work with
in the studio

1680
01:30:57.666 --> 01:31:00.752
kind of showed me that
I was making the mistake

1681
01:31:00.752 --> 01:31:03.797
of being such a perfectionist

1682
01:31:03.797 --> 01:31:05.716
by being like, "Dude,

1683
01:31:05.716 --> 01:31:09.344
we can't even be in the same
fuckin' room with you anymore."

1684

just push everybody away,

no one wants to be up there with you,

1687
01:31:16.768 --> 01:31:18.729
and that's like
the worst thing that you can do.

1688
01:31:18.729 --> 01:31:20.314
- Every single day he would talk about,

1689

"Oh, yeah, we need to get
number one, what can we do?"

1690

- It was very damaging for
everybody else around him.

- Anything, anywhere we were at,
we can be at a zoo,

1692

what do you think we should
do to get to number one?"
