Nikki Sixx:
[narration]
Elektra Records signed us to a five-album deal.
[Nikki passes a cymbal full of cocaine]
Nikki Sixx:
Tommy, vacuum this mess up.
Tommy Lee:
Yes, sir.
Nikki Sixx:
[narration]
We got a fat cash advance, which meant better drugs and bigger parties.
Tommy Lee:
[narration]
We were the kings. I mean, look at this place! Everybody wanted to party with us.
Party Goer:
Can I get a fucking line, man?
[Mick shoves the party goer away]
Mick Mars:
Yeah, right, man. Get the fuck out of here.
Tommy Lee:
[narration]
I mean, Diamond Dave from Van Halen, right there on our fucking couch!
[party goer approaches David Lee Roth, who is snorting his own cocaine]
Party Goer:
Hey, can I get a line of that?
[party goer stumbles and hits the wall, causing a mirror to crash on Roth]
Nikki Sixx:
Whoa! What the fuck, dude?
Party Goer:
Chill out, asshole. It's cool.
Nikki Sixx:
Cool? That is David Lee Roth. How about you show a little respect or get the fuck out?
Party Goer:
Make me, motherfucker.
[party goer shoves Nikki, only to get punched by Doc McGhee, who puts him in an arm lock]
Doc McGhee:
You fellas are gonna need a manager.
[Doc looks at Roth]
Doc McGhee:
Hey Dave.
David Lee Roth:
What's everybody looking at?
Mick Mars:
[looking at audience]
This didn't actually happen. Doc never came to this filthy shithole. We met him at the Santa Monica Civic Center after a show. He also brought his partner, Doug Thaler. Doug's a good guy, and it's kinda shitty he got cut from this movie, but I think this is as good a version as any. So... on with the goddamn show.
Tom Zutaut:
Oh, good. You met Doc. He works with James Brown, KISS, you name it.
Mick Mars:
Fucking hate KISS.
Doc McGhee:
Well, I make them a shitload of money, and I take care of everything they need, which is what I'm gonna do for you.
Nikki Sixx:
Oh yeah? And how are you gonna do that?
Doc McGhee:
Look, I know what I see up there. Anyone can start a band and crap out a song or two, but not many have the vision to go the distance. And you guys need someone to guide you through the fucking wilderness.
Nikki Sixx:
And you're gonna be that someone?
Doc McGhee:
You're goddamn right I am.
[pause]
Nikki Sixx:
All right.
Nikki Sixx:
[narration]
This was our fucking moment.
