I've no idea how the fuck Man On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown / Joe 90 (snippet) is meant to work. What was I thinking?

But if I could make it work? IT'D BE AWESOME.

Also, 3Ds made Man On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown. They opened for U2 in Auckland in 1993! WISH I'D BEEN THERE.
 
SPEAKING OF 3DS IN DORKLAND OPENING FOR U2.

There is a great story associated with this! I put it on U2gigs. Let me find it!
 
HERE WE GO.

1993-12-04.

Comments: Last U2 gig in New Zealand for over 13 years. Bono personally selected 3Ds, a band from the southern New Zealand city of Dunedin, to be the support act. It was the 3Ds' biggest concert ever, but when an associate of the band pilfered a bottle of wine from U2's dressing room, the concert promoter angrily told 3Ds that they would not get paid for the gig. Bono, however, was in the room at the time and insisted that the 3Ds get paid double - and receive an extra bottle of wine.
 
U2 in 1993! I wish I hadn't been 2 years old!! :happy:

I'm pissed my family didn't take me to Lovetown Wellington. My father and uncle went! So what that I wasn't even 3 yet? Mum and Dad took me to two gigs in January 1993, when I was either five or six!

(Dave Dobbyn, The Exponents, and Annie Crummer. HELLZ YEAH.)

Ah, see, I'm not that fond of Dave Dobbyn.

Don't hurt me please.

See, he has some shit songs, and I hate how he's gone all fundie on us.

But some of his other songs are amazing. Have you heard Beside You? That man can write a fucking amazing melody when he wants to.
 
Oh, that Invercargill set? #13 is also in tribute to Chris Knox. God I love that song. It's so offensive.

Do you know Pure Reason Revolution to understand why #15 is so awesome?
 
Shayne Carter I am aware of. The others? Nope, no clue!

I am SO disappointed you do not know Martin Phillipps! Behind Neil Finn, I consider him the greatest Kiwi musician of all time. Martin is amazing. The Chills revolve around him. Pink Frost ... :drool:
