  Speaker 1: about other clubs that we've been in and sit there going.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: You know, you've got a diamond here that's just waiting
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to come out, because you've got to be talking about
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: everybody's clubs in their own cities.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And we got amazing people in the film. It's
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: a cavalcade of rock and roll Hall of famers talking
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: about the Sunset Marque in West Hollywood.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. And what social media was doing this
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: weekend with that. So I don't know who you guys
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: have running your social media, but it was so fascinating
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and fun to be able to read about everything. Because
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I've experienced the documentary, I loved it, and to see
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: everybody talking about it just it just really energized me more.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think that campaign has been phenomenal. We've
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: been very excited and we had a really fun weekend
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: this weekend.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: The movie premiered on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: on Friday.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: We were number one on Apple Docs all weekend. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: think we still are.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: And we had some special screenings in Los Angeles. The
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: first night with Loudsey Tailstorm and Alison Hagendorf for both
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: in the film.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: The second night with Sharon Osbourne who's also in the
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: film along.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: With Kelly, and they tell some amazing, wonderful stories about
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Ozzy Wow.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And to open it up with Billy Gibbons of zz Top.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You could not have asked for the absolute best person
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: with that damn voice of his serving as a narrator
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: right there in the beginning, because it draws you in
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're going, let's go, let's go.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: There's something about him.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Not only does he look cool and sound cool, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: he's a hell of a storyteller. He just knows how
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: to tell a story. And he opens the film with
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: telling a story about Ozzy Osbourne smashing glasses around the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: pool at the Sunset Marquis and.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: You're in, man, You're in.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And how about Billy Bob Thornton. I thought I knew
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: everything about Billy Bob Thornton until I saw this documentary
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and now I love him even more.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Billy Bob. I mean, you know, he describes himself
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: as the unofficial mayor of the Sunset Market, and you
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: know that there's a lot of truth of that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know of anyone else who lived there for
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: six years like he did. And really, the character that
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: you see him play in Bad Santa, that's who he
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: was in real life at the Sunset Marquis. It was
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: his Bad Santa year and he was doing bad things
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: also good things.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: To put it together, I mean, I mean, I can't
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: imagine what it was like to be in the editing
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: room with all of that information. And will there be
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a follow up of some sort because the power of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: editing is beautiful. But when you guys are holding the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: full story, the full money, right now, what is that like?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: You know, it's difficult because we interviewed these guys for
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: two three hours. I mean, Dave Roll just kept going
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and going and going and going. Slash wanted to keep talking,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and hey, you know, we had what forty.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Interviews, forty plus interviews. It's hard to fit them all in.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: What we did do is on our website.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: You can purchase the extended interviews of stuff that hit
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the cutting room floor. Because while there's great stuff in
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the film obviously, you know, like Bob Seeker said, deadlines
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and we had to make those decisions.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. We're just getting started with Tyler
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Mesoon and Craig Williams. We'll be back the name of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the documentary, which is now available. If these walls could rock,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: We are back with Tyler Mesom and Craig A. Williams.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: The Oh wow, woman. I know that you talked with
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of the rock stars, but I loved hearing
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: from Marky and I above fell over when Marky told
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: me his name and the story behind it, because now
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I embraced it even more and want to know more
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: stories about other clubs and how they got their names.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: That's a fair point, and you know that's really the
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: spine of the film.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: That's where the heart and soul of this film lies
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: is in this father son's story between George Rosenthal and
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: the name the place after Mark Marquis Rosenthal, and he
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: founded the place in nineteen sixty three.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: It was kind of an offshoot of the Playboy Club, George.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: And du that with that up the street, he was
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: going to have lots of musicians and even playmates who
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: needed a place to stay, and so he opened up
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: this hotel opened.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: The doors in nineteen sixty three, which.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Is really kind of the bird the rock and rolls
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: we know it with the Beatles and the Stones and
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: the Beach Boys and all that, and you know, it
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: just became this place where these artists would gather and
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: create this community over time. You know, he wasn't necessarily
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the best father, and Mark went off and carved his
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: own path.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: But as the hotel, you know, continued to be party.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Central kind of got worn down and there was a
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: certain point where Mark had to come back in and
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: save the place, and it was his namesake, you know.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: He didn't want it to go away, and.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: He's kind of turned it into this really more lux
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: place that kind of matches where the rock and rollers are.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Because of the documentary
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and we're all sitting here rocking with our own memories
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and everything. I looked at my wife during the documentary
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and said, this is the real Hotel California. We can't leave.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: It'll never They'll never let us leave because all the memories,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and you could tell by everybody's stories, we have never
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: left this hotel.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not just a place where people.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: There's lots of hotels, you know, but this has been
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: a place where because of the founding of it, because
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: it is a place where misfits can come together and
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: be themselves and feel free, it invites them back. They
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: want to come back to this place that they dreamed
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: about being. For a lot of musicians, they would talk
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: about if they ever could make it as a rock star,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: they would stay at the Sunset Marquee. Musicians from England
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: would read about it in the magazine and.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Go, my god, if I could ever be there if
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I could ever stay there.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: And then so for them it became this signifying moment
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: of I've made it so now, I mean we were
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: just there this weekend and then walk Cheryl Crow and
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: now Rogers was in while we were walking out, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Sharon Nosborne was there. So it's still a place where
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: they want to come, and it still has that same
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: feeling of joy and wonderment and I've made it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: As a musician.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I loved it that you showcase Cheryl Crow because
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: in my heart, you know, every story that I've ever
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: heard of Cheryl that all she wanted to ever do
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: was just do jam sessions. And so to see her
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: with the Marquee, I'm going this had to have been
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a place where she could whip out that guitar and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: do what she loves most, and that is just jam.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she tells a story, Craig, go ahead and tell
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the story of where she stood. Yeah, yeah, I.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Think you know this was where once she started to
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: really make it, she insisted that the Sunset Marquee had
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: to be the place where the record label would set
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: her up. And the story she showed up and she
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: was in her room and every morning there would be
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: loud music and kind of just noise coming from the
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: room above her.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: And finally she got so fed up that she went
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: and knocked on the door. Who opens the door. It's
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Keith Richard. Of course, they were recording Goody Lounge at
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: the time. He's out all night.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: He comes home around eight am, puts a steak on
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: the stove, lights up a cigarette, puts on some tunes,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: and you know, this is what's happening about Sheryl Crow.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: She let him continue. She let him continue.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Well, where can people go to find out more about
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: everything you guys are doing, because in my heart I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: believe this is us the start.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a fun documentary. I mean, look, we wanted
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to have fun.
• 8:05
