(In a dressing room for the band)
BR-You think I'm runnin' fifteen fuckin'...Close that door. (musician slams door) What kind of playing is being played here the past two nights? What is this? New phrasing, new bending, new sounds, no time! What the fuck do you think I'm running here? What kind of playing do you call this? What kinda shit is going on in the fuckin'...(turns to the bass player) What kinda, what kinda setting do you got on the bass tonight?
Bass Player-Setting?
BR-I feel that's fairly much english.
Bass Player-It's the same as I've always had out there.
BR-What's with this, what's with this bending?
Bass Player-I decided...
BR-(interrupting) Who decided?
Bass Player-I did.
BR-Your deciding is wrong!
Bass Player-I didn't do it on purpose. I...
BR-(interrupting again) You're deciding what kind of phrasing. You're deciding who and what the leader is. You're gonna watch who you wanna watch...(turns to the rest of the band). Everybody's on two weeks notice tonight. I'm telling you, everybody gets two weeks notice tonight. I can't handle this anymore. You're all...(pauses thoughtfully) you're not my kind of people, at all. I don't understand this fuckin' kind of music at all. I don't understand what anybody is doing up there. I'm workin' my fuckin' ass off...(turns to a trumpet player) You put that fuckin' mouthpiece into that bell again, I'm gonna take that fuckin' horn and break it across my knee! Do you understand that?
Trumpet Player-I'll stay away, you can't hear a note though.
BR-I can hear everything! I don't give a fuck what you hear. I hear it, and all I know is that you're blowin' my fuckin' eardrum out! (turns to the saxophones) The saxophones, you can play the flute, there's no sound in flutes. All I hear is noise. If you get any fuckin' closer you'll electrocute yourselves. What do you think I got a man with a sound system out there for? Sit down and play some fuckin' music! You afraid you won't be heard, is that it? I'll turn the motherfucker off all of you, then see what kind of a band you got up there, without all the assistance. You can't play shit! I'm accustomed to working with number one musicians. I'm not accustomed to working with half-assed fuckin' kids who think they wrote the fuckin' music business. You got a long way to go. You got a long way to go. Every one of you got a long fuckin' way to go. Do you understand what I'm sayin'? You can't play shit up there for me. What the fuck you're doin' up there doesn't deserve to be called a "name" band. The fuckin' kids out at the park there, they sounded fifty times better than any one of you! And that's without a rhythm section. Maybe they enjoy what they are doin' here. If you don't enjoy it here, fuck you! And get off my band. Or we can find other ways to settle it. I'm just so fuckin' tired of having to go through speeches with you guys. You're all a fuckin' bunch of children. There's not a man among you, not one man who can go out there and play the job like a man. You're all up there, fuckin' high school, bullshit jive artists. You jived me for the last fuckin' time. You got two sets to make up your fuckin' mind or I get me an all L.A. band tomorrow night. Don't think that's not impossible. It's very fuckin' possible. I've had it with you guys. I ought to give each one of you motherfuckers a cut in salary before I get out of this fuckin' room!

Celebrity rich girl Paris Hilton has demonstrated her grasp of world affairs by asking: "Who's Tony Blair?"
The hotel heiress said she would not recognise the British Prime Minister. Asked by GQ magazine if she fancied Tony Blair, a confused Hilton replied: "Who?"
After giving it some thought she said: "Oh yeah... he's like your president?" Then she admitted: "I don't know what he looks like."
Paris: 'Who's Tony Blair?'
Hilton also compared herself to Diana, Princess of Wales. "I loved her. She was amazing. Her death affected me so much, such a strong and beautiful woman. I just cried for two hours non-stop when I heard she had been killed.
"I've been in cars trying to get away from speeding paparazzi before and it's horrible, so I can relate to Diana and the problems she had," she explained.
Asked who she would most like to be compared to, she replied: "Marilyn Monroe mixed with Diana."
Elsewhere in the interview, the 25-year-old socialite revealed how much money she rakes in.
Her empire includes perfume and cosmetics lines, shoes and hotels, and she is paid millions to make personal appearances.
"I've made, like, 200 million dollars (??107 million) in the last year, while J-Lo's only made 150 million dollars," she explained.
"I get paid 500,000 dollars (??266,500) to go to Las Vegas or Japan and wave at crowds or go to a party. All the time. Only this week I met a family at the airport who wanted me to drop in to their daughter's 16th birthday party for 100,000 dollars (??53, 310). Because I'm her idol. So I will. I'll take her a present, though.
"I went to Austria recently and got paid 1 million (??53 million) just to wave at a crowd of people there. I had to say 'hi' and tell them why I loved Austria so much," she said.
Asked why she loved Austria so much, she said: "Because they pay me ??1 million to wave at crowds!"
Hilton became infamous when a videotape of her having sex with her then boyfriend was posted on the internet.
But she declared: "I've only done it with, like, a couple of boyfriends. People think I sleep with everyone, but I'm not like that. I like kissing, but that's all I do. I'm not having sex for a year, I've decided. I'll kiss but nothing else."
Hilton has launched a pop career and her debut single, Stars Are Blind, is out this week.
:: The full interview is in the new issue of GQ, on sale tomorrow.
