_Ed_ Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah, it's really good. Quite a lot of good stuff on TV at the moment - not a NZ show, but I'm loving Castle. Intriguing and hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Why the fuck have U2 chosen Jay Z to support them in their NZ show? Do they choose completely incongruous support acts just to say to everyone, "Hey, look our diverse our musical taste is!" More diverse than their own musical range, I suppose. But honestly, how many U2 fans like Jay Z? And vice versa? Since the tickets are quite cheap, I wouldn't be surprised if heaps of people got tickets just to see Jay Z and then fucked off. I'd get some satisfaction if that happened and the stadium emptied out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Ghost Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 S'what I'd do! But really I don't think it's that weird of a combination, Jay is known for having one of the most amazing stadium shows and I think if you get a lesser act for a show like that they can get a bit lost in such a huge setting. Remember U2 had Kanye opening last time they were here, so that must have gone well enough for them to do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yeah, I guess. Not sure why Jay would want to support them, though. Surely he's a bit past doing support slots. He could probably sell the place out himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Ghost Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Wait it just clicked, they must be planning to recreate this awkward shitshow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi6CgFBNZBg Warning, contains rapping Bono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davinq Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Get to stay in New Zealand next winter for FOUR WEEKS this time, instead of the usual two that my dad can get off work. More independence = win + more time with family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Whereabouts in NZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) Whereabouts in NZ? My family all lives on the North Island (Hamilton, Tauranga, and Waihi), but I'm considering doing the Kiwi Experience with an American mate of mine. Is that too touristy, or do other Kiwis do it too? It's been over a decade since I actually lived down there, and it will be another decade before I do again since I have to do uni in the states.

Davinq Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Now I've got to make the money. Airfare and the first two weeks are covered by my family, but after that it's out of my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 from what i saw, kiwi experience is quite expensive. i was looking at UK STA travel and couldn't believe the price of bus passes for intercity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Yeah it threw me as well! *sigh* This is not the best way to start a shift at work. My first show to work on is titled 'Extreme Male Beauty'. Now, I know it's wrong to judge something by its title, but I just get the feeling this might not be my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shwissky Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 So U2 can bring like the biggest set ever built over to NZ for just one show, but Muse can even bring there little towers over for a couple of shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 And how much do U2 sell their tickets for? Don't think U2 and Muse are at all comparable. Muse lost money on their 2004 show just coming to New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshineskitty Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Can they stop playing those fucking Otago uni ads already? Its bad enough that there's like 3 different versions, but gah they're so long. No one is going to your university based on that shitty ad!
