Transcript
00:00I wanted the fame. I wanted the pretty girls come after me and say,
00:03Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede.
00:06This is Walter Day.
00:08He became the center of the video game universe.
00:12He was the first to realize the competitive nature of gaming.
00:17I'm leaving the video game industry to be a musician.
00:20I said, you're not going anywhere.
00:23Didn't I tell you, you, you, you, you, never not too long?
00:29I've never had a lot of girlfriends.
00:34Shane was the first person since my high school sweetheart.
00:37He says, Walter, I've secretly been seeing a friend of yours.
00:42I started hearing songs in my body.
00:45A hundred and thirty-eight songs.
00:48David Reichelt of Color Switch said, we want to pay for your album.
00:52Us doing this is to help him make his dream come true.
00:56Since I'm called upon to actually do a show,
00:58I discovered Taylor Swift.
01:00So I've actually been trying to pick up her mannerisms.
01:03I have to sing tonight in front of a crowd of people for the first time in my life.
01:07This ought to be interesting.
01:09Hey, Walter, your show's coming up.
01:11I know it's going to be great for you.
01:13I produced Justin Bieber, Madonna.
01:15Walter Day's a legend.
01:16The last three or four years have been like a tremendous swallowing in darkness
01:22because I got accused of cheating.
01:25Attacking Walter is like attacking somebody in the Amish community.
01:28Walter's not the kind of guy who's going to fight back.
01:31You're ultimately looking at a million dollar judgment being entered against you
01:35and following you for the rest of your life.
01:37I wanted the world to hear this music.
01:41And if it doesn't happen now, it's never going to happen.
01:45It's Friday night.
01:46They go on the stage in about one or two minutes.
01:49I believe that we're going to be sold out.
01:54Nobody would allow anybody to hurt Walter.
01:57My name is Shane Harris.
01:59And Walter Day and I used to be in love.
02:02He said, I wrote over 150 songs about you.
02:05And I said, what?
