During the US leg of the tour, the band met with the head programmer at MTV, to discuss getting coverage on the channel, however, Wheeler turned up late and drunk. The following day, the band had an interview on the channel; Wheeler arrived late again and vomited during it. The band's label was angry with them, and Wheeler later theorised that these incidents cost the band any major success in the US. Ash supported Weezer on their US headlining tour through to December, before returning to Ireland for a one-off show to close the year.
