>> THEY ARE ONE OF THE HOTTEST
BANDS IN THE WORLD TODAY. BUT THEY WERE NOT ALWAYS THE 5
SECONDS OF SUMMER WE KNOW NOW. LIFE AS A FOUR-PIECE, USED TO BE

>> TOGETHER WE ARE 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER.
>> TOGETHER WE ARE. I'LL SAY THAT. DO IT AGAIN. CONCENTRATE. [BEEP]
>> WE MET JAMES FOR THE FIRST TIME AT A MOTOWN PARTY AND HE
ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS AN OTOWN PARTY. DEFINITELY VERY WEIRD. >> I SAW THEM. I KNEW WITH MY HELP THAT THEY
HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE A GREAT BAND.
>> WITH JAMES AS THEIR LEAD SINGER, THE BOYS BEGAN
REHEARSING SONGS FOR WHAT WOULD BE THEIR FIRST ALBUM.
>> ONE, TWO, THREE. I LOOK AT THEM AS BROTHERS AND
THEY LOOK AT ME THE WAY JULIA ROBERTS LOOKS AT RICHARD GERE IN
"PRETTY WOMAN." YOU SAVED ME.
>> HE IS VERY CONFIDENT IN HIMSELF. >> IT IS DIFFICULT.
I'M ON A TRAJECTORY. ♪
>> HE KEPT TELLING US WE NEED TO HAVE LABELS. >> THE SPICE GIRLS.
SPORTY SPICE, GINGER SPICE, WENT OUT WITH EDI MURPHY SPICE. >> I DON'T REALLY LIKE LABELS. >> ALL RIGHT.
WELL, IF YOU DON'T LIKE LABELS, THEN ALL RIGHT.
THERE IS ONE FOR YOU. OK?
WEAR THAT. >> JAMES WAS DRUNK ON -- AND
ALCOHOL USUALLY. >> TAKE INTO ACCOUNT OFF, I

>> WHAT? >> WHAT WERE YOU SAYING? >> NO. I WAS JUST --
>> JUST WHAT? >> I WASN'T --
>> JUST WHISPERING? IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY,
SAY IT TO MY FACE. >> YOU'RE JUST A DICK. >> YOU CAN'T SAY THAT. SAY THAT BEHIND MY BACK. ONE, TWO, ONE, TWO, THREE. MICHAEL'S A DICK!
>> THE BAND HAD HIT ITS BREAKING POINT. >> WE JUST COULDN'T KEEP GOING
ON WITH HIM. WE COULDN'T KEEP HIM ON. HE WANTED ALL THE ATTENTION. >> OH, MAN.
I AM THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD, MAN. ROCK 'N' ROLL, BABY! >> HE TALKS TOO MUCH.
I MEAN, HE COULD MAYBE HAVE HIS OWN TALK SHOW OR SOMETHING.
THIS IS NEVER GOING TO WORK, IS IT?
>> THIS CAN'T GO ON. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD HE IS. >> MOMENTS BEFORE THEIR FIRST
GIG, THEY BROUGHT BROKE THE NEWS TO JAMES.
>> I THINK WE NEED A BAND MEETING. IT IS NOT WORKING OUT WELL.
>> I AGREE. I REALLY DO. I'M SORRY, LUKE. [LAUGHTER]
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE THE BAND.
>> NO, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU, JAMES.
WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU GO. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LET YOU
GO. >> YOU'RE ASKING ME TO LEAVE
THE BAND? >> WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU. [LAUGHTER]
>> WHAT IS A BAND WITH NO FRONT MAN? IT IS FOUR LOSERS AND A GUITAR.
WHO KICKS OUT THE BEST LOOKING MEMBER OF THE BAND, WHICH IS A
FACT THAT IS NOT EVEN UP FOR DEBATE.
I'M NOT EVEN SAYING I'M THAT HOT, BUT YOU'RE ROUGH AS PIGS. WHEN I'M NUMBER ONE IN THE
CHARTS, YOU'RE GOING TO BE BACK IN SYDNEY GIVING OUT HAND JOBS
FOR $5! SING THIS REALLY ORIGINAL PHIL
COLLINS FROM YEARS AGO! WHY DON'T ME AND YOU LEAVE AND
START A BAND LIKE MILLIE VAN ILIE?

>> NO, NO, JAMES, YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE THE STUFF.
>> [BEEP] OFF! >> THAT IS YOUR CONE.
JUST LEAVE THE PIG AND GO. >> HONESTLY, I FEEL FREE.
MY ARMS WERE TIRED CARRYING THAT BAND.
>> LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT IT.
I'LL SEE YOU FROM THE TOP OF THE BILLBOARD 100. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT ME TO
LEAVE THE BAND? >> YES.
>> I MIGHT NOT BE IN THE BAND ANYMORE, BUT I KNOW WHAT THOSE 5
SECONDS OF SUMMER STAND FOR. AND I AM THE FIFTH SECOND OF
SUMMER.
