<b>Shane:</b><blockquote>"The first time I ever met him was when he was doing a video for us and Kirsty McColl. He had ordered these costumes and I didn't like them, particularly didn't like my own one and somebody said to me, 'This is Neil Jordan and you must respect him' and I went up to him and said, 'Oh, Neil Jordan, so you're the wanker who fucking decided to dress me up in this costume' and he got taken aback by that and said yes he was and I said I thought it was full of shit and what's more I told him I'd stayed up all night especially to look like I was dead, because according to the storyline I'm dead and that there should've been a bullethole in the middle of my head and I wanted to put a bullethole in the middle of my head and he said that we couldn't afford to put a bullethole in the middle of my head, the BBC wouldn't like it and I said, 'Fuck the BBC! What kind of director are you?' and I'd had a particularly hard night deliberately to look as much like a corpse as possible. I walked into make-up and said, 'Bullethole in the middle of the head please!' and that's when Neil came in and vetoed it..."
