>> 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 FIVE.
>> I'M LUKE.
>> I'M CALUM. >> I'M MICHAEL.
>> I'M JAMES. >> 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 WALK.
>> YOU'LL LEAVE?
>> NO!
>> YOU DIDN'T KNOW I DID CARATA?
WELL, YOU KNOW NOW. >> IF I HAD TO GIVE JAMES A
LABEL, I WOULD GIVE HIM UNNECESSARY.
>> YOU FOUR, THERE ARE DRY EYES IN YOUR SILHOUETTES AND THEN I
COME UP THROUGH THE FLOOR, YOU KNOW, LIKE A -- WINGS.
WHAT WAS THAT?
WHAT DID YOU SAY? >> 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? >> I DON'T EVEN HAVE HIS PHONE
NUMBER. >> THIS IS MINE.
THIS IS MINE. >> 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.
