...I mean, it doesn' matter 'oo it is, I mean, the message gets through
Steve: (recorder clicks on mid-sentence)...anyways, 'e did not deserve to get a bollocking...
(recorder clicks on and off here)...the time, I know why 'e got a bollocking, because you, you know, you dunno what the fuck 'e's goin' on (someone speaks in background) about, but 'e didn', but 'e didn' deserve it. All 'e's tryin' t'do is relay a message from me to you, right? N' 'e went the wrong way about it, okay?
Nicko: Yeh, 'e did go the wrong way about it
Steve: Really?
Nicko: Well I'm, I, I, I, I tell ya what, I mean it ain't gonna 'appen again
Bruce: I don't see where you get steamed, I mean, if the truss was gonna...
Nicko: Why I got steamed up Bruce is because 'e fucked me right up. N' I knew there was a problem, I still didn' know what it was even after 'e...I, I fucked!
Steve: I know that. Look, it's like...
Nicko: I fuckin' fucked-up...n' I stopped, n' it was like "oh, for fuck's sake!" (tapping his foot as if playing drum solo) Come on kids, n' I'm lookin' 'round...what is 'e tryin' to tell me? What's the problem? (mumbles something unintelligible)
Steve: Can't you understand? Can't you understand if I'm tryin' to get a fuckin' message through to ya, right?...I'd'a still...it'd a been a lot worse. If I, if I 'ad to go me gear done...as it 'appens, (snaps his fingers) just in the nick o' th'time I got it done. If I...
Nicko: Yeah, I still didn't get the message
Steve: I know you didn'. But wha' we're sayin' (mumbles something unintelligible) wha'ever 'appens if I got 'im tryin' to get a fuckin' message to ya. Y'know wha' I mean?
Nicko: Sure Steve, but the fact is that the guy was not 'andling it the right way
Steve: You don' fink o' fings like that Nick
Nicko: But that's diff...look...(something completely unintelligible)
Steve: I bollocked...I was shou'ing at ya, "look, my gear's gone down"
Nicko: It's me that fucked-up
Steve: Listen...
Nicko: I'm the one out the(r)e all on me own...
Steve: I know
Nicko: ...I'm doin' a drum solo. N' I've got fuckin' talkin'...
Steve: N' I'm the one, I'm only one 'a finking, I've got fucking like a minute t'go before m..., to get this fucking gear right
Bruce: Yeah, but if somebody gives a message to me...
Steve: No?
Bruce:
Nicko: Bruce, it's different...
Steve: It's a different situation
Nicko: ...it's different for you. You're not standin' there all on your fuckin' own 'avin' a somebody try to get your attention n' talk to ya. I'm playin' a drum solo, n' the guy's standin' a yard, or two yards behind my drum riser goin'...
Steve: Yeah, all I'm tryin' a...
Nicko: ..."fucking anga-yangna-baba"..."wha?"..."BABA-BABA-BABA!"..."WHAAAA???". Fuck! (lets out frustrated grunt) By the time I've got that far, I'm fuckin' totally fucked. Because I'm p..., I'm not payin' attention to my gig...
Steve: Ey, look...
Nicko: ...I'm payin' attention to what 'e's tryin' to tell me
Bruce: Yeh, but nobody woulda noticed
Steve: I complete...
Nicko: I noticed!
Steve: I completely understand that
Nicko: Fucked me right up
Steve: But 'e, 'e was only doin' wha I told 'im t'do, n' that was get a message t'you. Now that the fucking 'eat o' the moment n' just, everything on 'and...'e don' fink to fucking tell Bill, 'e wants to get the message t'you, not to fucking Bill, so 'e don' fink o' that, 'e just tries to get the message t'you, right? So, 'e don' fucking deserve to get a bollocking for that, I mean, arright 'e got one I know...no say in 'at. But I just don', you know...
Bruce: (possibly saying "Attente! Attente!")
Steve: ...Bob was a nice guy. 'E's not like 'e's, fuckin', 'e's an asshole...
Nicko: No, no...
Steve: ...or an idiot, or anyfing like 'at
Nicko: Oh no, but 'e was out of order, because 'e didn'...
Bruce: 'E wasn't out of order
Nicko: "E was
Steve: 'E wasn't out of order. 'E was wrong
Nicko: 'E was, cause 'e fucked me up by tryin to tell me…
Steve: Nicko
Nicko: If 'e'd o' come up to the riser...
Steve: Nicko
Nicko: Look...
Steve: Nicko
Nicko: ...if 'e'd o' come up to the riser dere, (shouting) I COULDA FUCKIN' 'EARD 'IM!!!
Steve: But nick...
Nicko: Cunt was standin' be'ind, I was sittin' down
Steve: Yeh...
Nicko: ..."bada-bada-ba"
Steve: 'E was wrong. 'e made a mistake, but 'e wasn't out of order
Bruce: It wasn't deliberate
Steve: 'E made a mistake...
Nicko: Now, I know it ain't deliberate
Steve: ...for fuck's sake
Nicko: I didn' know that at the time, right? I still didn't that know Steve 'ad a problem wif 'is bass...
Steve: That's wha' I'm sayin'
Nicko: ...luckily enough, by the time I finished the poxy solo,'e 'ad 'is bass wo(r)kin' again
Steve: It was all that fucking grief...
Bruce: All it takes is the guy...
Nicko: The grief was, because I bollocked 'im up, n' I 'appened to tell ya (something unintelligible) go out n' apologize right. Fuck 'im, I'm gonna go n' apologize to 'im
Bruce: Well all you gotta do...
Nicko: It's not for me to apologize. I bollocked 'im cause 'e fucked me up. Right there, 'e fucked me up. 'E was wrong
Bruce: All you gotta do...no 'e wasn't wrong
Nicko: 'E was
Steve: 'E wasn't wrong
Nicko: 'E did not 'andle it...'e's not even fuckin' communicating, right?
Steve: Aw! I don' wanna fuckin' argue about this, it's fucking stupid...I fink you're really out of order, I fink...honestly
Nicko: No bollocks! Oh I am no(t) out of order
Steve: You are. You're a'itude is out of order
Nicko: 'E...no it ain't
Steve: It is
Nicko: No it ain't. The guy fucked me up
Steve: I know 'e did...
Nicko: Well then that's out of order...
Steve: ...'e din' mean to
Nicko: (close to hysteria) LOOK, I'M NOT SAYIN 'E (Nicko hits something) FUCKIN' MEANT TO 'ARRY!!!
(Steve and Bruce say something in background)
The fact is that 'e was a dumbkopf, cause 'e don' know 'ow to fuckin' communicate wif me onstage...
Bruce: But 'e's not a dumbkopf
Steve: (?) Not close (?)
Nicko: Aww!
Steve: 'E's not fuckin' stupid
Nicko: Well, 'e fuckin' certainly did a good job out there this afternoon, didn' 'e?
Steve: 'E made a mistake, because I...
Nicko: Wha'd'you mean "He made a mistake"?
Steve: Because I...
Nicko: You sent 'im. 'Ow could 'e make a mistake?
Steve: That's why
Nicko: 'Ow did 'e make a mistake?
Steve: Well, 'e made the mistake by not sendin' Bill first, right?
Nicko: Well, well 'e made a mistake, right?
Steve: Yeah
Nicko: Well, why?...
Bruce: There's a difference between makin' a mistake...
Steve: Well that's what I'm sayin'
Bruce: ...n' a difference between makin' a human error...
Nicko: Right, so 'e made a mistake, right?
Steve: Yeah!
Nicko: N' I'm griefed up cause 'e fuckin' made me made a mistake. Now that 'e...now I can understand wha' 'e was talkin' about after the fact...it remains to be seen, 'e was on a mission from you
Steve: Aw, I'm not gonna argue about it
Nicko: Right? (it gets quiet for a second) Fuck my ol' boots, it just...I can't 'an, I can't 'andle that situation wif people (something about grief)... n it's important to me t'get a message like that...fuckin' 'ell! I cannot get some...get, get...when' I also fucked as well...I wouldna minded if I'd 'a gotten wha' it was 'appenin' straight. Like, on the end "aw right, 'Arris got 'is bass fucked, right I'll carry on n' do sumfing else", then that's fine, if I didn' fuck-up...but 'e made me fuck. It totally frew me right out, n' 'e wasn'...
Steve: I know it did
Nicko: ...'e didn't know 'ow to talk to me about it. N', n' I've, I've told 'im "don't do that again."
Steve: Because, see, it's not, it's not, it's not fair relaying a message to people. 'E was just...
Nicko: N' 'e never turned 'round
Steve: ...look, it coulda been anybody. It was just that 'e was the first one on 'and
Nicko: 'Arry
Steve: 'E was just standin' there
Nicko: 'E never turned 'round, 'e never even turned 'round afterwards and said "Listen, did you?...I'm sorry, but you didn' understand wha' I was sayin' right?"
Steve: Well why should he?
Nicko: Well then, then, then because...
Steve: 'E got a fuckin' bollocking
Nicko: ...'e woulda stood up for 'imself because 'e knows 'e was gotten a bollocking wrong, because 'e was on a mission from you
Steve: 'E was probably...
Bruce: No
Steve: 'E was probably fuckin' upset...
Bruce: 'E's probably a bit upset
Steve: ...because you gave 'im a fucking bollocking
Nicko: Well, rightly
Steve: You gave 'im up for...as far as 'e's con...
Bruce: No, not rightly
Nicko: Rightly, yeah
Steve: But no, it's not rightly
Bruce: No!
Nicko: I told 'im "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!"
Steve: No
Bruce: That's crazy
Steve: But what?...
Bruce: What 'appens if the lighting truss is gonna fall down on yer 'ead? Does 'e go?...
Nicko: Well then somebody drags me out o' the fuckin' way, or else I'm dead, right?
Bruce: Yeah, but don't...I mean...you know
Steve: I fink your a'itude is totally fucking out of order
Nicko: No it ain't. No it ain't
Steve: Yes it is
Nicko: No it ain't. If I'd 'a known...now I'm the fuckin' cunt all of a sudden
Steve: No, you're not the cunt
Bruce: You're not a cunt
Nicko: Because I told 'im 'e was out of order, n' I didn't know 'e was on a mission from you to tell me that 'is bass, your bass was FUCKED!
Steve: I know you didn'
Bruce: All you've got to do Nicko, is just go to the guy and say...
Steve: You didn' know, n' 'e didn' know, arright?
Bruce: "Sorry about, sorry about shouting. It was a misunderstanding. But in future, tell Bill" that's all you gotta say
Nicko: No. No
Bruce: N' that way, he's a fuckin' proud geezer...
Steve: Wha's, wha's the ma'er with ya?
Bruce: He goes...
Nicko: Look...
Steve: Cause if this is some sorta (pride/crime?)...(something unintelligible)
Nicko: I bollocked 'im...no it ain't pride. It's, it's not fuckin' pride
Steve: Well wha's the ma'er wif ya?
Bruce: It is pride
Nicko: Oh bollocks!
Steve: What's the matter wif ya?
Nicko: The guy was wrong to 'ave been fuckin' dere to do wha' 'e done
Steve: I know. All I'm, all I'm gonna say is that when you're goin' up tomorrow...
Bruce: No it isn't wrong. What's 'e supposed to do? Turn 'round...
Steve: ...this is a different a'itude, cause this is fucking stupid
Nicko: I told 'im straight out not to do it again
Bruce: What's 'e supposed to do? What's 'e?...
Nicko: I'm not gonna go out n' apologize for sayin' that to 'im...
Bruce: 'E's NOT!
Nicko: ...'e was outta fuckin' order
Bruce: 'E's not out of order
Bruce: Wha' 'appens...
Nicko: Bruce
Bruce: ...if I fucking go n' tell somebody to do somethin', 'e goes "No, fuck off! I'm not gonna do that."
Nicko: Listen, Bruce...
Bruce: Then 'e's out of order
Nicko: Bruce...
Bruce: But 'e goes n' tells 'im to go n' do something...
Nicko: ...I'm not concerned wif, wif, wif, wif, wif other people that can't fuckin' talk to me on stage, who don't know 'ow to fuckin' communicate wif me...
Bruce: But 'e's not out of order tryin' to do it
Nicko: ...'e did not know 'ow to communicate wif me
Steve: (walking towards tape recorder) Some cunt's recording this!
(tape shuts off)
