- The best part probably about portraying a rock star is,
I mean, there's many, I think it would have to be
probably the clothes first,
which was a fun journey to go on.
'Cause we started the show,
we were all a lot dorkier in the beginning.
And you would see the cool clothes later down on the rack.
So you were just waiting to get to those later episodes.
- Other than Billy.
- Yes, except -
- Billy stayed very safe.
- My dear, big brother.
You have a specific style.
- Well, I evolved from blue denim to black denim,
which I think is a big evolution
in the fashion world in the '70s.
- It was a big step for you.
- Very innovative.
- I think the most important, the music, you know?
Learning to play. I mean, we've never played music before.
- Yeah, we've never heard it before.
- I'm not in the band.
- But you have a beautiful voice.
- She does.
- I'm not doing this.
- You you can see her on her Instagram.
She plays guitar and has a gorgeous voice.
- Will had played guitar, but not a huge amount.
Seb played, he was very good at drums.
Josh is very good at guitar
but had to learn how to play bass.
- I was [beep] at keys.
- But she had to learn how to play keys and me
and Riley had never really sung, so there was a lot to
you know, a long journey for us to go on.
- And we were supposed to only have three months originally.
- I was supposed to have one month. Yeah, one month.
- One month for you to learn the whole album.
But then we ended up having three years or so, so that was -
- Like five years.
- You know, and that's how we became a band.
- [all speaking] Hi.
- We're the cast of 'Daisy Jones & The Six,'
and these are our Top 8 favorite scenes to film.
My favorite scene to shoot was actually the
Laurel Canyon sing-along scene.
- Ah, that's a good one.
- Very wholesome scene.
- It's the first time you see Daisy
over at Billy's house within his world.
And Camila invites her and they have this moment where
the whole band sort of sings along a song and it's a very
intimate moment that's very different to the rest
of the performance stuff we have in the show.
And we all got to look at each other
and it was, you know, small.
- Oh, man, speak for yourself.
I was in a fur vest in that scene. I was dying.
- We had the screaming baby, the baby there.
There was a scream.
We had to be holding a baby and pretending it was asleep.
- Yeah, we had to -
- I'd be falling in love with you
while being kind of still in love with you,
while I was loving this -
- Must be so hard for you.
- I have a great picture of you with the fake baby
on your shoulders.
- They swapped out the real baby in that scene
for the fake baby 'cause we just could not get a clean shot.
And they were like, it was a heavy,
remember the fake baby was heavy.
- It was like a 4 year old.
- The baby's supposed to be
like three months and they gave us the fake baby
and it's like got legs.
- We had to keep rocking it to make it look like it's alive.
- You guys are giving away the movie magic.
- Oh no, but it's -
- It's a real baby.
- It's a real baby, and it's really good.
- It just is.
- One of my favorite scenes
or sequences to shoot was the Diamond Head festival.
'Cause I think that was the first and kind of
the only time where we got to play
three whole songs back to back like a concert in a way.
And it was, like, where Riley or Daisy comes
and sings with a band for the first time.
She kind of takes over the stage and the limelight.
It was the first time we'd had an audience that wasn't sort
of executives, but we had like paid
people who are being paid to love us.
There was a lot of energy we were getting back
from the crowd, which I think kind of gave us that real kind
of surge in energy.
- Yeah. I love when there was tension
between you guys and it was like,
sometimes you'd feel like you wouldn't like,
for just me behind being on the keys,
sometimes the energy between you,
especially when things were going wrong,
I would be genuinely nervous.
Like, am I gonna get, you know,
are we gonna get through this?
Are they going to, like is someone gonna storm off stage?
It was just kind of, you know, you were constantly,
I don't know. I was on the edge.
Yeah, I was on the edge of my seat.
My favorite was probably,
it's actually probably it's my favorite,
and least favorite because we were
so freezing cold.
But probably when we went surfing.
We really went out, we really went out into the depths,
like kind of the depths of the ocean to flirt.
Yeah. Oh yeah. And then there was a huge storm
and we had to go back and shoot it.
- Yeah. We had to stop.
- We would like try so hard to make our teeth
stop chattering so that we could get a take.
- You were blue. You were blue.
- I was, I was blue.
- And you looked so radiant in the actual show.
It's shocking.
- Thank you. Thanks to color correction.
- We had to do a couple of days of practice, didn't we?
- And yes. And then one of the days of practice
we got actually called out of the water
because the waves were too big and we both just
kept getting absolutely destroyed by the waves.
And our teacher was like -
- You definitely were much better.
I mean, I can surf in the Caribbean but in L.A.
it's absolutely -
[all speaking at once]
- It's absolutely terrifying.
- There are no waves in the Caribbean.
- Yes, there are.
- What do you mean?
- In the Caribbean, I'm an expert surfer.
- It's much easier.
When you're surfing in L.A. it's freezing.
- To be fair, I've also surfed in the Caribbean.
Of course. And we get up easy.
There were no waves.
We're in a bikini.
- This is, this is -
Surfing in L.A., there's like little shark fins everywhere.
There's rocks.
- My favorite one was, I actually wasn't on camera
but it was when we were at Laurel Canyon
and we were at the house, like the first house
we get, and it's when Billy's in rehab.
- Oh! That's what I was gonna say. Are you kidding me, son?
- We had to see all the auditions for a new Billy.
- Oh good, a good scene.
- They made the mistake of filming them
and not filming us the first time around
because we were -
- We were dying.
- absolutely dying.
And we didn't have any idea what they were gonna do.
And they just came in and they were all hilarious.
- And they kept it rolling, too.
- And they just kept it rolling and then they'd carry on
while these guys are doing these random things.
- There was one dude who was -
- They should have got those reactions 'cause then
they turned the cameras around on us and we're like,
yeah, we've seen this.
- On one of he takes, one dude did, he's like,
"Turn round, look me in the eye."
And then he's like, "Could I use the bathroom?"
And we're like, oh yeah, it's right -
That was just so good.
- When Eddie auditions to be the front man of the band.
Can I say, that's my favorite song and I love your version.
- Ooh, but hey, thanks.
- Controversial.
- Bonus.
[Laughs]
- You know, it's the, it's probably the only time
on the whole show I play and sing.
So it was hella nerve-wracking.
It was like, don't screw it up!
- It was quite problematic for me because
I can't really play and sing, so.
- Don't say that. You can play and sing.
- No. But not the way. No, but Josh is very talented.
He has a band.
- Truth is these guys are like all very good singers,
and Sam and I -
- Seb rocked out a party
and started playing piano and singing.
I was like, what the?
- What?
- Oh my god.
- I don't quite remember that.
- Everywhere I turn there's these very talented bastards.
- I loved the 'Aurora' album shoot.
And not because we had fun, but
because we were so cold in Joshua Tree desert.
- People keep saying they love this
because we were so cold and I don't understand.
- No, no, no. We were so miserable and so unhappy
that we were delirious.
And then it turned into like laughing about how
unhappy we were. And then tears came and we just,
it was so ridiculous that we had no other choice
but to just like laugh and take photos of each other
freezing. I have so many photos of you freezing.
- I have a photograph of Will catching hail in the desert.
- And then I don't have a lot of days with all of these guys
so I just liked being with them.
- Oh I mean, I was basically shirtless for that.
I was about to freeze solid.
- Somebody told me that like, Seb, you were so freezing
in that scene.
And they were like, and they were like,
"Seb, do you wanna wear a different wardrobe?"
And you're like, "[Beep] no, I'm wearing my vest."
- I mean imagine me on the cover with a shirt on.
I mean, let's get real, you know?
- But like, you're a real one for that.
- Gotta be true to the character.
- It's good.
- My favorite scenes were the club scenes.
We brought New York City to Athens.
- That is crazy. They look amazing, those scenes.
- They do. It was important for me to make sure I was
telling a truthful story when it came to the Black, queer
musicians of the time. And we really got down.
I tried doing all my vocals live, but none of it went in.
It was just really fun.
Everyone was just rollerblading and it felt like,
it felt like another show really.
It felt, it was really nice.
And an honorable mention when I was fortunate enough to sing
with the band, Soldier Field. In between takes,
we did that little like, we swapped instruments
and I got behind the drums
and I think Seb took lead and Riley took bass.
- I was on guitar. I don't know how to play guitar.
- Yeah, it's honorable.
- Yeah.
- I think during that, it was actually
Cami's coverage. She's like tearfully watching the band
and we're all like being silly on stage.
- Yeah. It was Cami's coverage.
- I have a - Episode 10, right?
- Exactly.
- I'm like bawling watching my husband fall
in love with another woman.
And they were like -
- And like doing cartwheels on stage. It's just like -
[Laughs]
- I'm just like sitting there like -
- Credit to Cami's acting.
- Yeah, exactly. All respect.
- There was two where we were like really allowed to
cut loose. There was one in the bus
where we just needed like footage of us partying.
So we all really just like went kind of crazy in the bus.
- Oh, god. He's gonna say it.
- Which was a blast. And then the other one was,
I'm so sorry, Seb.
- You're gonna say it.
- It was driving in the desert on our way to
California from Pittsburgh.
- We all packed up the van and left. And we're
going to California. And that was the same situation
where we just needed a bunch of footage of us -
- Yeah.
- messing around. And you were driving
and we were getting followed by
you know, the car with the crane on it.
- And the sun was really setting like that.
- It was beautiful.
- It was an insane sunset in the desert.
- And we spent like 45 minutes just driving around singing.
- Is that the haunted, abandoned -
- Yes. Everyone left at the rest stop.
- It's like the beginning of a horror movie.
- Yeah.
- That was a really cute memory.
- One of my favorite scenes to shoot was a lot
of the stuff in the house
in Laurel Canyon, where we're younger
and we're just kind of messing around all the time.
One of them was Suki's first entrance into the house.
- Yeah.
- Where I'm in a pirate suit and Will is in tighty-whities
and Josh is in a dress.
And we're just jumping around and like -
- We fully choreographed that.
- And there was just like, there was a lot of days
like that where it was just like, they'd
let the camera go and we're just like
just messing around like a bunch of young boys
in an apartment fooling around.
And it was a lot of fun.
And remembering that by the end of the show,
like damn, remember how fun it used to be.
- I have to say, it's very,
it was very hard for me to keep a straight -
'Cause Billy's very serious. But these guys, like honestly,
especially in the younger years days. Billy's like,
"We're gonna be the biggest band."
And they're like, "Woo!" It was so hard
and painful at times trying to keep a straight face.
- Oh also, the wedding.
That was a big one. I forgot about that.
- You were great at the wedding.
- I saw that scene at the screening.
I was like, oh my god.
- That scene is one of my favorite scenes in the show.
The, "This is the only wedding photo we have,"
and then you're like, "Mescaline is a powerful drug."
- Wait, wait, wait. And Seb kept taking the photo
and there's a little moment where I'm like, Seb, -
- I have the lens cap on.
Oh my god.
- I'm like, "Your lens cap is on."
- And like when we were just all, we were all dancing
at the wedding and getting silly
and you're having this dramatic moment about
being a father. And I'm like,
I don't know what's going on over there. This is -
- Every time we're having fun, Billy's crying in a corner.
Tormented about his love.
- Yeah. Shooting a whole different show over here.
- What I'll remember most are the friendships.
Yeah. I'll keep that in my heart.
- I second that.
I love these people.
They're my family and I miss you already.
Is it over?
- I think we'll remember each other and I think I'll always
remember just, you know, feeling very grateful to
get to watch everyone's performances as well in IRL.
- Not only like, you know, like a bunch
of friends but also like professionally. Being on set
and watching everybody kind of deliver exactly their slice
of what they have to deliver. You know, and like really
really serving and like it's inspiring.
You know, you really want to do better in order to be like,
I fit into this like a puzzle piece.
You know what I'm saying?
- And I will say that to all of you.
Working with every single one of them
as a performer was like, I felt like I was learning
from them every day 'cause they're all such
different actors and that was a really cool experience.
- I am definitely gonna remember the friendships,
you guys, the funny things that happened.
- Electrocution.
- Oh man, maybe we shouldn't bring that up.
- That was funny.
- What do you mean you were electrocuted?
- Dodgy old '70s amp. But -
- Wait, I had no idea. What happened?
- He stuck his finger in a hole.
- It's classic Josh.
- I didn't. I picked up my phone off the back
of an amp and it was like touching one of the coils.
- He got fully electrocuted.
- I mean, the hair up and everything?
- My fingers were on the strings of the bass
at the same time, so it created a circuit.
And I was like, and she was looking
at me, and I was just like.
- Yeah.
It was a day as well where everyone was super tired
and it was night shoots.
- I'll never forget walking over and you just saying,
"I just got electrocuted."
- On night shoots, I feel like we were all so,
especially in New Orleans, we were
so tired and delirious
that many months into shooting, and that many night shoots
that like the videos that we have
on our phones of each other at like four in the morning
five in the morning being insane.
I'll miss those nights with you guys.
- I am gonna miss, well I'm not gonna miss all
of you because all of you will still be in my life.
- Oh, we will?
- Yes!
- I think we should have a hug, guys.
- Let's have a hug.
- Love you guys.
- Aw.
- Pittsburgh on three! One, two, three!
