-HOLLYWOOD -- THE LAND OF THE REAL AND THE UNREAL.
A PLACE WHERE, SO THEY SAY,
THEY'LL PAY A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A KISS
AND 50 CENTS FOR YOUR SOUL.
SO MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE NAMES FOR THEMSELVES,
STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD,
BUT, ULTIMATELY, ACTING THE SAME WAY AS EVERYONE ELSE.
BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S A MAN.
A FELLA BY THE NAME OF JESSE EVERETT HUGHES IV.
AT LEAST THAT'S THE HANDLE HIS LOVING PARENTS GAVE HIM.
HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH USE FOR IT HIMSELF.
THIS JESSE HUGHES -- HE CALLED HIMSELF BOOTS ELECTRIC.
NOW, YOU'LL FIND OUT A LOT ABOUT JESSE, OR BOOTS,
AS THIS STORY PROGRESSES.
BUT HERE'S THE BASICS.
BORN IN 1972 IN THE DEEP SOUTH,
THEN AFTER THE BREAKUP OF HIS PARENTS' MARRIAGE,
HE MOVED WITH HIS DEVOUT MOTHER TO PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA.
ONE DAY, A BIG GINGER GUY SAVED JESSE FROM A SCHOOL BULLY,
AND THEY IMMEDIATELY BECAME BEST FRIENDS.
THIS RED TOP WAS JOSHUA HOMME,
AND HE WENT ON TO BE A BIG ROCK STAR
WHILST JESSE DID THE FAMILY THING.
AFTER JESSE'S MARRIAGE BROKE DOWN,
JOSHUA PERSUADED HIM TO GIVE THE ROCK-'N'-ROLL THING A SHOT.
AND, SURE ENOUGH, THEY FORMED EAGLES OF DEATH METAL,
AND JESSE ENDS UP TOURING THE WORLD
AND GETTING A REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE WILDEST
AND MOST CHARISMATIC FRONT MEN IN THE GAME.
NOW, THIS FILM FOLLOWS OUR HERO FOR ONE CALENDAR YEAR,
JUST AS HE'S TURNED 40 --
A PIVOTAL YEAR IN ANY MAN'S LIFE,
BUT ESPECIALLY FOR OUR MAN JESSE.
THE BAND ARE PREPARING TO RECORD THEIR FIRST ALBUM IN YEARS,
BUT IT'S NOT JUST MUSIC ON HIS MIND.
OH, NO.
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP,
RELIGION AND DRUGS, POLITICS AND FAMILY.
THIS IS A COMPLEX, MIXED-UP MIND AT WORK,
BUT THESE ARE COMPLEX, MIXED-UP TIMES, SO MAYBE -- MAYBE --
HE COULD BE THE MAN TO SEE US RIGHT.
'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES, THERE'S A MAN --
WELL, SOMETIMES THERE'S A MAN.

IT WAS ALMOST LIKE SOMEBODY MADE AN AGREEMENT TO CUT ME OUT.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE HAD A WHOLE PIECE OF MY HEART CUT OUT
BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO BE A DAD,
YOU KNOW?
IT WAS HELL. IT'S STILL HELL.
I LOVE MY SON MORE THAN ANYTHING.
[ Voice breaking ] I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A DAD,
AND I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE MARRIED.
ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE KIDS.
AND I FELT LIKE ROCK 'N' ROLL WAS A KIND OF SUCCESS,
THAT I'D DONE SOMETHING GOOD,
THAT I WAS ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MY SON.
AND EVEN THOUGH IT DIDN'T WORK OUT WITH MY WIFE,
I FELT LIKE THAT DIDN'T REALLY MATTER.
THAT NO MATTER WHAT, THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE WOULD LOOK AT --
THAT A MOM OR A PARENT
IS ALWAYS DOING THE RIGHT THING BY INSTINCT.
THAT'S JUST NOT THE CASE.
MY EX-WIFE PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN
KNOW OR EVEN THINK OF ME AS REAL ANYMORE.
I DON'T WANT TO HURT HER.
I DON'T WANT TO EVEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS.
I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYONE.
I MEAN, I'M A KILLING, ROCK-'N'-RAPIN'-ROLL REBEL.
THAT'S A FACT. I'M NOT TRYING TO HIDE THAT.
BUT IT'S NEVER A FACT IN MY PARENTING.
I HAVE ABSOLUTE RULES.
I'VE DEMONSTRATED EVERY ASPECT OF MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE.
I MEAN, I HAVE THIS SHIT EVERY DAY.
AND SOMETIMES I REALLY FEEL LIKE I CAN'T BREATHE.
LIKE, IF I THINK ABOUT IT
OR IF I MOVE OR IF ANYONE SEES MY FACE,
IF ANYONE SEES ME, THEY'LL KNOW.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT LIKE EVEN THOUGH I
HAD A REPUTATION FOR PARTYING OR DOING DRUGS, I ALWAYS
MORE SO HAD A REPUTATION FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING
AND OF HAVING STANDARDS AND OF...
I THINK THE MINISTER THING IS AN ABSOLUTE DIRECT RESULT.
