* MandelaEffect: The band wrote "Star Hotel" about a riot that happened in response to the closure of the titular hotel in Newcastle, Australia in 1979. In the years since, many people have claimed to have seen the band perform there on the night of the riot - in fact, they never played at that venue ''at all'', let alone that very night.
