INXS were considered new wave in the same category as U2. They were great and the singer passed away decades ago in a hotel room His name was Michael Hutchins.
The days when I would see bands like INXS, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Dragon etc at the pubs and clubs. We truly didn’t appreciate how blessed we were. Australia had it all.
Right there with you my friend. I saw so many top class bands at my local pub in Melbourne. Could you imagine if Pegasus saw Chisel doing Bow River live? With Jimmy screaming and Ian shredding and the harmonica weaving all through it? Damn I miss those days.....
@@skwervin1 yep I’m there too, don’t think it ever leaves you. Lots of great local bands that never made mainstream. The competition was tough back then. As a live audience we all benefited from that. Lucky times, the best of times.
in the 70's 2SM used to have free concerts in Victoria park near Sydney uni. WOW saw dragon, hush, sherbet, air supply. then saw all the greats in pubs and clubs, even worked in clubs when live bands played. it was awesome. aussie music was the best!!!
And I’m the 3rd to say the exact same! 😂 I even still have the INXS KICK: The Video Flick on VHS, containing all the music videos from that album and behind the scenes clips!
i’ve found INXS albums in friends places all over the place, Germany they were huge,playing 80,000 stadiums, Brazil including 140,000 at a festival in Rio, France…
INXS was one of the Biggest Australian rock bands ever. Check out their live in Wembley show its on youtube start to finish. Not just one of their best shows, One of the best Live rock performances ever recorded. My old man tells a story about being at the Star Hotel in Newcastle in the late 70s seeing Midnight Oil - another Aussie rock band worth checking out, and their lead singer comes out on stage early in the night by himself. The crowd blow up thinking they are cancelling their show but he says Sorry i know we usually have a local band support us but we found these guys down in sydney and thought you would like them. Out comes a 17YO Michael Hutchence and procedes to blow everyone away
This brought back memories. The Star Hotel was in Newcastle NSW and when they closed it down there was a riot in Hunter Street that shut the town down. Cheers to your Dad mate, I was there too. I 1st saw INXS in a small pub in Cessnock, LoL.
INXS "NEED YOU TONIGHT- MEDIATE" (combo video of BOTH of these songs back to back is a MUST. Don't do the one without Mediate combined. It's truly meant to be listened to one phasing into the other). It's sooo good!!! 🔥🔥🔥
You sir, have discovered one, if not the finest, most internationally successful Australian bands of all time. I was a young woman at the time of their rising and peak. Their music is intrigal to my youth and there is not one single song they've released that doesn't rock. I hope you dive deeply into their work. You so won't regret it. Enjoy 😉 🇦🇺
"Why haven't I heard this before?" It's the Australian music industry. The 1970's and 80's was filled with stunning Aussie bands and an awesome live music scene, second to none. Cheers from Sydney, AU
At one stage INXS was the biggest band in the world and Michael Hutchence was like the Mick Jagger of his time. You should watch their live concert at Wembley stadium in the London in was insane.
I was a fan from the beginning of the 80's, and had all their albums , on vinyl, at one stage ( from Shaboo Shabbah up until KICK). I was devastated when I heard Michael had died! I remember the breaking News, informing all of Australia what had happened. It was so heartbreaking! I was one of many, many fans that watched the funeral when it was shown live on tv. May he forever rest in peace! 🕊️🙏❤️🇭🇲
Omg! Yes!!! Another amazing band from the 70s-80s! This is one of their slower ballad songs, but they have so many bangers!! Suicide blonde, Need you tonight, Devil inside, New Sensation!!! This is good old Rock music, and the lead singer is Michael Hutchence! Please listen to more!!! 🙌🙌🙌
“Need You Tonight” …So slide over here and give me a moment. Your moves are so raw. I’ve got to let you know… You’re one of my kind.” 😊 Yes: Devil Inside, What You Need, New Sensation… We picked same songs :) Except Suicidal Blonde. Just because 1990 🤷🏻♀️
We're Gen X. We were raised to embrace our hopelessness. And INXS (in-excess) and Michael Hutchence gave our hopelessness a voice. And he committed suicide. He's totally representational of Gen X.
Personally, I love the fact that you go into songs like this completely blind. That way you're not tainted by any expectations or misconceptions because of something you might have read. Plus the fact that you then go back and look up details about the song/group when you like what you hear. That's what I want from a reaction, for what it's worth. Great job! Definitely more INXS ... "New Sensation" would be great, but there are plenty of good choices.
INXS (in Exess) was a great Australian rock band in the 90s. The songs are absolutely timeless and I still listen to them now. Unfortunately, the singer Michael Hutchance died far too young in 1997. The band broke up in 2012. But their music lives on ❤
Melbourne 1988..lucky for me front row seats, even reached out and touched Michael's hand. Sad day when he sadly left this earth. Poet and song writer. Great Aussie band. 😊
😢😢😢 The sexiest man in the earth!! I saw him in Rio and he is pure sensuality!!❤❤ Of course Michael has a beautiful voice and this song is AMAZING!!! 🎉🎉🎉🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Having grown up loving INXS and adoring Michael Hutchence, I was lucky enough to see them live for the first time when I was about 8years old for their Swing album tour and saw them live every tour for the next 3 albums. 4 live INXS concerts before I was 15. I still can't accept he's dead. Such ridiculous talent. Such a tragedy.
Michael Hutchence - sexiest man to ever walk the Earth! Had the pleasure to see INXS (said as in-excess) during their Sui#$de Blond tour. Was devo when Michael passed away!
Bought tickets for my brother for his seventeenth birthday so guessing it was 1987…. A trip to London from the West Country was a big thing in those days and it was at the Royal Albert Hall… we were definitely country bumpkins in the big city lol
My dad took me to Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard in LA for my 16th birthday in 1989. I got two records: Debbie Gibson's Out of the Blue, and Inxs' Kick, which features this song. I have always been madly in love with Michael Hutchence. Inxs (in excess) is an Australian rock band comprised of the Farris brothers and their friends. Anyway, this was always one of my favorite songs of theirs. The world is bereft the beautiful and oh so talented Michael Hutchence. 🖤
One of my top 5 favorite bands, I love these guys. Keep exploring -- "SUICIDE BLONDE", "NEW SENSATION", "WHAT YOU NEED", "NEED YOU TONIGHT", and plenty more. Some rabbit holes are filled with rabbit poop, some are filled with treasure. This is one full of treasure.
Michael Hutchence had such an incredible voice and was a beautiful man. Such a talented group of musicians. I hope he’s smiling up there watching this 💜🙏
I love that it was your first time hearing this and thought it was fire!. Micheal Hutchence voice is rich and smooth and like a warm sip of brandy. He died in 97 gone way too soon. Check out more INXS
One of my favs. My claim to fame is that Michael Hutchence fell off the stage ( on purpose) at the Overflow pub in Perth in 1984, (I was 19 at the time) on top of me, I wrapped my arms around him and didn't want to let go, then I saw the panic in his eyes so I helped him back up 😅
I saw them live twice before they became the biggest band in the world and they were mind blowing even back then. You just knew they were a juggernaut. These days, my Aussie Rules football team plays this song at the beginning of each home game. The whole stadium sings along and it's breath taking.
🙋🏼♂️ 🇬🇧 saw them at Wembley Stadium , July 13 , 1991 .. my first ever concert ( Live Baby Live is a recording of that show & is a great watch ) .. a rock star on stage but super shy & quiet off stage . He had some very very famous lady friends during his short time here . Another sadly missed , RIP Mr Hutchence 🙏🏻
THAT was your first ever concert??? Wow. That’s serious bragging rights. Oh, if only to get transported back in time to be able to attend that concert, and Depeche Mode 101, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena in 1988...
This is my song to my girlfriend...We started talking online and she travelled from Germany to England to meet me...I was standing and she was there...our two worlds collided and we have now been together 10 years and have two beautiful children together ❤️
This is the anthem for my Aussie rules footy team Port Adelaide 💪🏻it’s pronounced “In Excess” great Australian band🇦🇺 hope you dive down the rabbit hole🤞🏻😂
Fire. 🔥 More? Yes please. Gosh they have soooo many great songs. Big sounds, love the instrumentation. He was so charismatic and my gosh what a voice. 😍😍😍
INXS crossed through several genres of rock..... POP, New Wave/Post-Punk, Dance, Alternative.... My opinion they were way ahead of their time. Often lumped in with the A-ha era synth-rock bands of the 80s and 90s but not really synth-rock..... As comments pointed out below Australian rock band making it big in the 80s... Their music videos where top notch along with their music.... Great Band.
I just now watched the film INXS: Never Tear Us Apart.Not the doc,but the movie staring Luke Arnold from Black Sails as Micheal. Made me cry. It shows why his personality changed so badly,as well as everything else. Laid it all out there. So well done. The ending is so beautiful. They clear up the horrible rumors about his death in 1997.
In-x-s super popular rock pop 80s from Australia. Sadly we lost Michael Hutchence in 1997 😢. The had a show Rock Star INXS early 2000s (on UA-cam) competition to get a new lead singer. Michael was one of a kind! Ray Manzerek of the doors said he so much like Jim Morrison!
Oh my goodness! I LOVED INXS ( In Excess ) in my teens! My boyfriend went to Australia for a holiday and came back with the 'Kicks' album by them. He and i were both OBSESSED with them. Played that tape (yes, im old😂) til it practically wore out. Wow, brought back great memories. I always felt apart from other girls in my school. They were all into Wham, Durran Durran, or Spandau Ballet. Nothing against those bands, some great tunes. But INXS just hit differently. It was only years later when they released ' Need you tonight' that everyone here in the UK seemed to wake up and notice them. I felt so smug 🙊😂 What a truly charasmatic man Michael Hutchence was. Sadly missed 😢 The whole band were SO talented though. Thanks for doing this reaction. So glad you liked it. Hope you check out more. ❤ X
I miss Michael Hutchence and INXS (in-excess). The voice, the passion, the presence, the hits! INXS are one of the greatest bands to come out of Oz and I was so fortunate to have grown up listening to their hits 🎶
In Excess....With legendary frontman Michael Hutchence. This song was from their MASSIVE hit record Kick...1987. The biggest ever band to come from Oz.
Don't feel bad I've heard this a million times as a teenager and I haven't in many years. This time it gave me chills lol. It is really amazing how you appreciate things as you get older . Glad you got to enjoy it. It's never too late.
Like too many classic 80s bands, these guys were amazing...There will never be another Michael Hutchence. In a weird but very right way, he always reminded me of Chris Cornell--if someone could bottle and sell what both of those guys had, they'd make billions. You should check out Beautiful Girl or Need You Tonight by these guys. EVERYTHING they did was fire.
One of the greatest rock bands ever. Never get the recognition they deserve. Check out their live perfomance "New Sensation" at Wembly think it was 1991. Just watch the crowd. Never seen anyhting like it before. R.I.P Michael Hutchence
it is pronounced in excess and they were popular from the late 80's to early 90's until lead singer Michael Hutchence passed away from a drug overdose. I probably committed about 5 moving violations to follow their tour bus to their hotel and got to hang with the band. Such gentlemen and so talented!
I'm thrilled that you have finally found INXS (In Excess)! One of my personal favorites. Please do a deep dive. Why do you reactors always worry about what genre??? Does it really matter?
The name INXS sounds like in excess. I am always a bit stunned when people don't know so many of these iconic songs but I think that has to do with a world we live in where music is spoon fed to us based on our likes. We grew up at a time when we had no choice but to listen to the radio and what our parents listened to so we knew their music, our grandparents music, our older siblings music etc. Radio played A-sides of albums, but also took liberties and played B-sides of albums of songs that may not be pushed out by the record company. But it is a good thing you and many others find it. INXS has a ton of music. Keep going down this rabbit hole. Check out - "Don't Change", "Devil Inside", "What You Need", "Beautiful girl". So many more.
I first saw inxs live at the jump club in Melbourne neither of us were old enough to be in a pub lol I think they were about 17 and I was about 16. I still remember that gig so clearly… ahh the Aussie pub band scene .. pure musical magic!!! I never get sick of hearing their music ❤
INXS was a pretty special band. I love this song but my heart lies with the earlier stuff... especially the rocker Don't Change. Thanks for the reaction.
They played US Festival in 1983 and that is worth finding and watching. No one knew them in North America, yet, and they played their asses off. They are a band that were as good live as they were recorded.
I first saw INXS a band from Sydney, Australia in 1983 or 1984 at a small, dive club in West L.A. I knew immediately they would be huge and considered myself fortunate to see them up close and personal. I had been familiar with their music, and I believe they created their own genre of "dance rock". Kirk Pengilly is the their saxophone player. Michael Hutchence was lead singer and lyricist. The other main lyricist is Andrew Fariss one of 3 brothers, Tim and Jon who were part of the band. Gary Gary Beers played drums. I have all their recordings, and there was not one bad song. Sadly, Michael Hutchence passed away.
Probably a type, but Gary played bass.. Jon the youngest brother played drums. But yeah love them, still my fav band. I wasn't old enough to see them in 83, that must have been cool.. But went to the kick concert in 87. then again more recently at one of those winery concerts in Australia, when JD Fortune was singing for them.
Just joined your channel and subbed after seeing your Midnight Oil Reaction. I worked with INXS I was a part of the Management team, Michael wrote this about the bond that is strong between 2 people, at the time he was dating Helena Christensen. This song was played as the the remaining members of the band carried Michael's coffin from the Church. Made me cry seeing your reaction. Many thanks for bringing back incredible memories

INXS (a phonetic play on "in excess") are an Australian rock band, formed in the late 70’s.
Thanks for helping Black Pegasus with the name I cracked up listening to him try to pronounce the bands name
One my fav band from 80s. In exs. ❤
Thank You for helping the brother out … Now he knows .. 😁
@@anitagoodwin4785 one of my favorites too
I am 66 and saw these guys in early 80s Perth Australia, one of the best bands of there time .thank you for listening young man ❤
Bro, Michael Hutchence was a God. I swear growing up in the 80s, women wanted him and men wanted to be him.
Played at his funeral in Sydney in 1997. Made so many of us cry our eyes out. Such a loss, Michael Hutchence ❤️
INXS were considered new wave in the same category as U2. They were great and the singer passed away decades ago in a hotel room His name was Michael Hutchins.
'97... man I'm old.
😮
i was there that day
@@Monsterdrumma if you make an effort and check, it is Hutchence! Not Hutchins!
The days when I would see bands like INXS, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Dragon etc at the pubs and clubs. We truly didn’t appreciate how blessed we were.
Australia had it all.
Right there with you my friend. I saw so many top class bands at my local pub in Melbourne. Could you imagine if Pegasus saw Chisel doing Bow River live? With Jimmy screaming and Ian shredding and the harmonica weaving all through it? Damn I miss those days.....
@@skwervin1 yep I’m there too, don’t think it ever leaves you.
Lots of great local bands that never made mainstream. The competition was tough back then. As a live audience we all benefited from that.
Lucky times, the best of times.
Yep, what we took for granted back in the day. We had Mentals and Cockroaches at lunch concerts at uni.
I still remember ACDC doing a concert in my Highschool hall. So much fun.
in the 70's 2SM used to have free concerts in Victoria park near Sydney uni. WOW saw dragon, hush, sherbet, air supply. then saw all the greats in pubs and clubs, even worked in clubs when live bands played. it was awesome. aussie music was the best!!!
I still have my "Kick" cassette 37 years later. It outlasted 2 marriages. The whole album is epic.
lol same, even to the 2 marriages LOL!
I still have my Def Leppard Hign n Dry, has outlasted 3 husbands 👍. No more husbands for me 😂
Pink Floyd the Wall...ditto.
Kudos man! I still have my "Decadance" Cassette with picture card case! 👍
And I’m the 3rd to say the exact same! 😂 I even still have the INXS KICK: The Video Flick on VHS, containing all the music videos from that album and behind the scenes clips!
Most Australians would know every single word of this song.
Some danes too!
Not only Australians
Kiwis too bro👉🍺🇭🇲🇳🇿🤘
South Africans also
Absolutely ❤
In excess. And they were FIRE. RIP, Michael Hutchence. Unbelievable talent.
it's INXS.
@@xScooterAZx They were responding to BP's question what INXS stood for. The poster was right, it's a phonetic play on 'in excess'.
@@JillMcCall-fv1sg I know that. :}
In 1990 INXS was considered by many to be the best live rock band in the world
i’ve found INXS albums in friends places all over the place, Germany they were huge,playing 80,000 stadiums, Brazil including 140,000 at a festival in Rio, France…
I was fortunate enough to get to see them once. It was fantastic.
“Need You Tonight” …So slide over here and give me a moment. Your moves are so raw. I’ve got to let you know… You’re one of my kind.” 😊
Who else sung that in their head
@@Dilydaydream1me 😂
Need You Tonight/Mediate video
I find it amazing how it’s taken Americans 40 - 50yrs to appreciate Aussie talent from the 70’s and 80’s!
How good is the line “We all have wings, but some of us don’t know why”
One of the best bands we have produced, you need to listen to Dont Change, one of their best songs from 83.
One the greatest rock bands of all time! There are so many great songs. New Sansation, I Need You Tonight, Suicide Blonde. There's so many to name!
Please don't forget Devil Inside!!!
omg - I forgot New Sensation. I LOVED that song.
And beautiful girl or mistify.
these are all songs that you must listen to.
Original sin , Their first big hit . I also like the Gift , hugely underrated.
INXS was one of the Biggest Australian rock bands ever. Check out their live in Wembley show its on youtube start to finish. Not just one of their best shows, One of the best Live rock performances ever recorded.
My old man tells a story about being at the Star Hotel in Newcastle in the late 70s seeing Midnight Oil - another Aussie rock band worth checking out, and their lead singer comes out on stage early in the night by himself. The crowd blow up thinking they are cancelling their show but he says Sorry i know we usually have a local band support us but we found these guys down in sydney and thought you would like them.

INXS "NEED YOU TONIGHT- MEDIATE" (combo video of BOTH of these songs back to back is a MUST. Don't do the one without Mediate combined. It's truly meant to be listened to one phasing into the other). It's sooo good!!!
🔥🔥🔥
I definitely second this!
THIS!!!^^^^ Dude pulls a Bob Dylan with the word cards!!!!!
This is a need to do 🙏
You sir, have discovered one, if not the finest, most internationally successful Australian bands of all time. I was a young woman at the time of their rising and peak. Their music is intrigal to my youth and there is not one single song they've released that doesn't rock. I hope you dive deeply into their work. You so won't regret it. Enjoy 😉 🇦🇺
INXS were amazing I saw them at Wembley stadium in 1991, they were awesome. Listen to more INXS you won't be disappointed
I saw them then too, and at the arena. Most awesome! He was one sexy man!
"Why haven't I heard this before?" It's the Australian music industry. The 1970's and 80's was filled with stunning Aussie bands and an awesome live music scene, second to none. Cheers from Sydney, AU
INXS is great! There was something so charismatic about Michael Hutchence. You should do something live from them.
What You Need live from Wembley 91'
Autoerotic asphyxiation? lol
He was hypnotic
He was talented, AND GORGEOUS 🎉🎉🎉
Oh yeah. Seriously drool factor. We all had the hots for him, until he hooked up with Paula Yates. Went down in our eyes after that.
At one stage INXS was the biggest band in the world and Michael Hutchence was like the Mick Jagger of his time. You should watch their live concert at Wembley stadium in the London in was insane.
INXS IS JUST IN EXCESS
Finally more Aussie music let's go. This is an amazing band and very much apart of my child hood thanks to my parents.
I was a fan from the beginning of the 80's, and had all their albums , on vinyl, at one stage ( from Shaboo Shabbah up until KICK). I was devastated when I heard Michael had died! I remember the breaking News, informing all of Australia what had happened. It was so heartbreaking! I was one of many, many fans that watched the funeral when it was shown live on tv.

I was fortunate to meet Michael in San Diego in the 80's. We both complemented each other on our hair. Miss him so much. RIP Michael.
The entire “KICK” album is absolutely amazing!!
Still one of my all time fav albums
Omg! Yes!!! Another amazing band from the 70s-80s! This is one of their slower ballad songs, but they have so many bangers!! Suicide blonde, Need you tonight, Devil inside, New Sensation!!! This is good old Rock music, and the lead singer is Michael Hutchence! Please listen to more!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Just any INXS song lol. And I'm so happy he's finally getting to Aussie music
Devil Inside was a great one!
“Need You Tonight” …So slide over here and give me a moment. Your moves are so raw. I’ve got to let you know… You’re one of my kind.” 😊
Yes: Devil Inside, What You Need, New Sensation…
We picked same songs :) Except Suicidal Blonde. Just because 1990 🤷🏻♀️
Their music never ages. RIP Michael, always missed
Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful video, beautiful Michael RIP

they were also fantastic through the 80s
They started in the 80s
INXS played at my High School in the early 80s before they made it big. Amazing band. Miss you Michael Hutchence - what a loss ❤
My favorite INXS song is “Devil Inside” but “Suicide Blonde” and “What You Need” are up there
INXS were massive in the 80s and early 90s. They had a number one song in the US with 'Need You Tonight', one of the sexiest songs ever written.
you, sir, have just fallen into my childhood ... first the cure, now INXS ... next i wanna see some Smiths or pre-'87 REM ...
The Smiths, yes! I love "Ask Me" and "Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before", so many more as well!
Also I like to add. Michael Hutchence was the 90 's Jim Morrison. He was our rock god.
Melbourne 1988..lucky for me front row seats, even reached out and touched Michael's hand. Sad day when he sadly left this earth. Poet and song writer. Great Aussie band. 😊
MORE INXS
MORE INXS
MORE INXS
!!!
Goosebumps! Every time I hear him sing.
😢😢😢 The sexiest man in the earth!! I saw him in Rio and he is pure sensuality!!❤❤ Of course Michael has a beautiful voice and this song is AMAZING!!! 🎉🎉🎉🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
There was just something about the tone of MH’s voice. Just makes you melt. So missed ❤🇦🇺

I was lucky to see these guys over 15 times and saw them on their first UK tour promoting the Listen like Thieves album. Brilliant band live!
Just wow 😊❤
My sister saw them at Longwood College back in the day.

One of my top 5 favorite bands, I love these guys. Keep exploring -- "SUICIDE BLONDE", "NEW SENSATION", "WHAT YOU NEED", "NEED YOU TONIGHT", and plenty more. Some rabbit holes are filled with rabbit poop, some are filled with treasure. This is one full of treasure.
Love INXS! Michael’s voice was so fantastic! Glad you found them! More please! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

IN-X-S like [in excess].
Michael - you are missed. INXS will always be on my playlist.

I just now watched the film INXS: Never Tear Us Apart.Not the doc,but the movie staring Luke Arnold from Black Sails as Micheal. Made me cry. It shows why his personality changed so badly,as well as everything else. Laid it all out there. So well done.
The ending is so beautiful.
They clear up the horrible rumors about his death in 1997.
Mate, cannot believe you have never heard of INXS, one of the greatest Australian bands ever.
Second only to Cold Chisel!!
In-x-s super popular rock pop 80s from Australia. Sadly we lost Michael Hutchence in 1997 😢. The had a show Rock Star INXS early 2000s (on UA-cam) competition to get a new lead singer. Michael was one of a kind! Ray Manzerek of the doors said he so much like Jim Morrison!
RIP Michael, left this world too soon. 😢🪽🪽❤
Thank you for keeping his music alive.
Much, much, much more INXS. Please
Oh my goodness!
I LOVED INXS
( In Excess ) in my teens! My boyfriend went to Australia for a holiday and came back with the 'Kicks' album by them. He and i were both OBSESSED with them. Played that tape (yes, im old😂) til it practically wore out.
Wow, brought back great memories. I always felt apart from other girls in my school. They were all into Wham, Durran Durran, or Spandau Ballet. Nothing against those bands, some great tunes. But INXS just hit differently.
It was only years later when they released ' Need you tonight' that everyone here in the UK seemed to wake up and notice them.
I felt so smug 🙊😂
What a truly charasmatic man Michael Hutchence was. Sadly missed 😢
The whole band were SO talented though.
Thanks for doing this reaction. So glad you liked it. Hope you check out more. ❤ X
I sang this to my girl at our wedding. 😊
Our MC rocked the sax live too.
I miss Michael Hutchence and INXS (in-excess). The voice, the passion, the presence, the hits! INXS are one of the greatest bands to come out of Oz and I was so fortunate to have grown up listening to their hits 🎶
My fave tune by INXS is Mystify, it’s a great video.
One of my favourites too 🎉
In Excess....With legendary frontman Michael Hutchence. This song was from their MASSIVE hit record Kick...1987. The biggest ever band to come from Oz.
Don't feel bad I've heard this a million times as a teenager and I haven't in many years. This time it gave me chills lol. It is really amazing how you appreciate things as you get older . Glad you got to enjoy it. It's never too late.
Like too many classic 80s bands, these guys were amazing...There will never be another Michael Hutchence. In a weird but very right way, he always reminded me of Chris Cornell--if someone could bottle and sell what both of those guys had, they'd make billions. You should check out Beautiful Girl or Need You Tonight by these guys. EVERYTHING they did was fire.
Lol, I'm Australian and I grew up with this band. I remember when they were introduced on Countdown as an "up and coming" band.
I turn 59 this year.
One of the greatest rock bands ever. Never get the recognition they deserve. Check out their live perfomance "New Sensation" at Wembly think it was 1991. Just watch the crowd. Never seen anyhting like it before. R.I.P Michael Hutchence
Welcome to Aussie pub rock, you will like it here. Try Midnight Oil singing "Beds are burning" or the Choirboys singing "Run to paradise" next 🇭🇲
it is pronounced in excess and they were popular from the late 80's to early 90's until lead singer Michael Hutchence passed away from a drug overdose. I probably committed about 5 moving violations to follow their tour bus to their hotel and got to hang with the band. Such gentlemen and so talented!
I'm thrilled that you have finally found INXS (In Excess)! One of my personal favorites. Please do a deep dive. Why do you reactors always worry about what genre??? Does it really matter?
They were their own genre!
The name INXS sounds like in excess. I am always a bit stunned when people don't know so many of these iconic songs but I think that has to do with a world we live in where music is spoon fed to us based on our likes. We grew up at a time when we had no choice but to listen to the radio and what our parents listened to so we knew their music, our grandparents music, our older siblings music etc. Radio played A-sides of albums, but also took liberties and played B-sides of albums of songs that may not be pushed out by the record company. But it is a good thing you and many others find it. INXS has a ton of music. Keep going down this rabbit hole.
Check out - "Don't Change", "Devil Inside", "What You Need", "Beautiful girl". So many more.
The opening bars of this song sends me to immediate tears. Miss you Michael. #OzRock
INXS are absolutely the best such an iconic Aussie band. Michael is one of the best vocalist
Rest in peace to his beautiful soul ❤️
You should check out more of INXS its really worth it. Im very proud of our Aussie bands. You should give more Australian music a listen.
I first saw inxs live at the jump club in Melbourne neither of us were old enough to be in a pub lol I think they were about 17 and I was about 16. I still remember that gig so clearly… ahh the Aussie pub band scene .. pure musical magic!!! I never get sick of hearing their music ❤
One of the greatest the 80’s had to offer!
INXS was a pretty special band. I love this song but my heart lies with the earlier stuff... especially the rocker Don't Change. Thanks for the reaction.
Go down the Michael Hutchence rabbit hole please. He is a great singer. Rooms for the Memories is fire.👍💕🦇
Agree
My first concert was INXS on the Kick tour. Never Tear Us apart was incredible live. To this day I still get goosebumps when I hear it.
They played US Festival in 1983 and that is worth finding and watching. No one knew them in North America, yet, and they played their asses off. They are a band that were as good live as they were recorded.
You really need to listen to the Live show in Wembley from 1991. Perfection from start to finish!
I first saw INXS a band from Sydney, Australia in 1983 or 1984 at a small, dive club in West L.A. I knew immediately they would be huge and considered myself fortunate to see them up close and personal. I had been familiar with their music, and I believe they created their own genre of "dance rock".
Kirk Pengilly is the their saxophone player. Michael Hutchence was lead singer and lyricist. The other main lyricist is Andrew Fariss one of 3 brothers, Tim and Jon who were part of the band. Gary Gary Beers played drums. I have all their recordings, and there was not one bad song. Sadly, Michael Hutchence passed away.
Jon Fariss was the drummer, not Gary.
Probably a type, but Gary played bass.. Jon the youngest brother played drums. But yeah love them, still my fav band. I wasn't old enough to see them in 83, that must have been cool.. But went to the kick concert in 87. then again more recently at one of those winery concerts in Australia, when JD Fortune was singing for them.
@@pagemeredith4532 my bad. While I was writing, the police were chasing someone who came into my yard, I lost my train of thought.
Just joined your channel and subbed after seeing your Midnight Oil Reaction. I worked with INXS I was a part of the Management team, Michael wrote this about the bond that is strong between 2 people, at the time he was dating Helena Christensen. This song was played as the the remaining members of the band carried Michael's coffin from the Church. Made me cry seeing your reaction. Many thanks for bringing back incredible memories
'Need You Tonight' please. Michael was incomparable ❤
I saw them in Sydney in 1986, they were awesome. Michael was so hot! What a loss the day the world lost him!
