ROD: I had never seen Daphne take so well to being casted to the back.
But I guess, in reality, you could put her 1000 miles behind and she'd make a headline out of it.
One night Daphne Beer changes her riff. Next night she convinces a tech guy to give her a mic for a song she shouldn't have one for.
Billy didn't mind it, Daisy was taken aback — in the best way possible. [Laughs] They started to hate eachother on stage and paint eachothers nails off it. Genius.
It was all lining up as this big leave for Daphne. It'd become very well known behind the scenes that she was eager to release her solo album.
But with that eagerness, came her restlessness.
In some way, I think she felt both bottled up and free at the same time. Daphne finally found good people, she found Billy too. That stage was just... it was something.
And then, off it, she couldn't quite find that middle ground.
She wanted all or nothing.
I guess you could say the headlines helped that.
——
"The Six just can't pick a female lead singer!"
"The Numbers Tour: Daisy Jones vs Daphne Beer, a must see!"
"The Double D's are Double Trouble"
"Who's the better singer?"
——
TEDDY: Until, we got a headline Billy couldn't let go of.
DAPHNE: "Billy Dunne chooses Daphne Beer over Daisy Jones."
[Laughs] You should've seen his face.
CAMILA: [Laughs] Not one mention of a wife, y'know?
BILLY: It was ridiculous.
DAISY: I faked this whole storming off stage thing, Daphne and I used to make up all these little fake fights and argumentative gestures on stage. She wanted to sing a song that night, one on her own really.
I can't not laugh, it's golden. And everyone fell for it, I remember Rod trying to talk me down as if Daph and I were really fighting.
On Look At Us Now she started to sing over me. Of course I sang back, belted a little and I could tell Billy was so confused.
Went straight up to her and ripped her guitar off her, threw it into the ground. That photo went on a massive magazine cover. Check!
DAPHNE: Had to hide my smile when she ran off, glanced around the group. The crowd were screaming, they yelled out one more song! one more song! I heard screams for my name and for Daisy's.
