(专辑: Live In London - 2019)
So, as well as our doing A
collection of songs tonight We're gonna tell you some of our Our rock and roll anecdotes Give you a
sort of a
Behind-the-scenes look At, uh, you know The
life of the
band You know, some pretty Funny experiences that we've had -some pretty crazy ones as well -Yeah And I
think one that encompasses Both those, um, subsets... I
don't know I
don't think "subsets" Is a
very rock and roll Way of describing it That's what We're talking about, the
fun... The
fun rock and roll subset Um... Uh, the
story The
story that Jemaine Is talking about -I think, is the
muffin story -Oh, yes! Yeah. Um, this is A
story of, um... The
time when I
got To my hotel room Oh, no, sorry. Let me give A
bit of context Wait. Hold on Everyone listen to Bret Okay Okay, so First of all, being in a
band We stay in hotels 'Cause we tour around -We stay in some quite fancy hotels -Oh, yes We've stayed in some Premiere Inns Yeah, absolutely And we've stayed in some of the
Very Best Westerns out there And I
got to my room And there was a
complimentary Muffin sitting on the
table Okay, this is where the
fun You guys obviously don't stay in these Fancy hotels -'cause this is very unusual -Some of you are a
few steps ahead You're like, okay, this is Where the
fun's beginning -Yeah -Yep So, I
thought, okay, if I've Got a
complimentary muffin I
bet old Mad Dog's got A
complimentary muffin That's my nickname I'll tell you about that later But tell them the
joke about The
complimentary muffin Okay, yeah, sure. Okay, so The
complimentary muffin, now It's not a
muffin that says, "Oh Hello, Bret, you look good today." It's a
complimentary muffin -But... -Yeah Imagine that though Imagine that -That's ridiculous -It's such a
fun... A
very flattering pastry Little blueberry eyes You know, just looking up at you Going... -Absolutely adorable -I'd eat that It's just looking up at you, going "Well, you've got a
nice personality Little muffin That's just a
little Digression we add in to Yeah, we just, like, spice up The
story with a
bit of humor Yeah. Um... It wasn't something that Occurred to us at the
time And so, I
thought if I've got A
complimentary muffin I
bet Mad Dog here's got one, and... Right. You're probably wondering Why I
get called "Mad Dog." This is a
Nickname that caught on When Jemaine e-mailed me with The
subject "New Nickname." I'm not sure if That's the
start of it I'm sure it was a
series of events No, well, it was A
series of e-mails It was Yeah. Three or Four e-mails reminding me And then, eventually, it caught On, and now, I've got it up here It's not important to the
story About how I
got the
name I've got a
reputation, and they Call me Mad Dog, within the
band And so, I
thought I
called his room, and I'd Only been in the
room Maybe like, two or three minutes You know, me and my muffin And I
call up Jemaine's room I
mean, Mad Dog, and, um... -Thank you -He answers the
phone "Hello?" He's already bloody halfway Through that muffin Yeah Bloody Keith Richards over here God I
didn't I
didn't even wait As soon as I
saw it, rawr! What'd you do? Just walk in there like "Rawr, give me that I'll do that!" Bloody... Yeah, basically That's pretty much it He wasn't even there And he guessed it -because I'm a
mad dog -And... You start to get a
picture of the
Life of excess that we live For you to know It's a
life of excess You need to also know that We had muffins for breakfast That's right, yeah So that's bloody two muffins In one day. Oh! -Double muffiner -Oh, God -Yeah -Yeah And so, we collect these Stories as we travel 'round You never know when something Crazy's gonna happen Yeah! That one was about seven years ago It was
