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!!!
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…
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!
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 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!!! 🔥🔥🔥
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.
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.
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 🤷🏻♀️
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 ❤
😢😢😢 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!!! 🎉🎉🎉🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
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. 😊
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!
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. 🖤
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🤞🏻😂
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 all time favourite band. My family thought someone had died I was crying so much when Michael died... Someone did die I said. I retreated to my room to listen to my INXS tape over n over..so dramatic I was. But still even today it makes me emotional.
"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
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 😉 🇦🇺
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.
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 🎶
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 💜🙏
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 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
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!
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.
🙋🏼♂️ 🇬🇧 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...
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'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?
Michael had an amazing voice. I used to play this on repeat as a teenager. They have lots of variety, you might like to go down the rabbit hole. INXS (in excess) an Aussie rock band who 'made it' globally. Great 80's band. Played Wembley stadium. To break into America they played in US colleges as unknowns. Their song Original Sin was apparently banned from being played on certain radio stations in certain areas of the US.
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.
In - X - ess is how it is pronounced. They were basically a rock band of the mid 80s to the mid 90s and were from Australia. The old man in the black hat in this video is the great actor Lawrence Olivier. He obviously was an old man then but, it was cool they had him in it. Olivier was the premiere actor of the stage (with some movies). A true giant. The band was huge during its time and they did a lot of diverse music. It was not the same over and over. They were very interesting musically. The singer was Michael Hutchins and he was a fantastic singer and frontman. Sad;y he battled with depression and ended up committing suicide in the mid 90s at the age of 36 ending the band. It was extremely tragic. Especially because by the 90s they had the SSRI drugs for depression and with therapy could have learned to live with it and overcome the grip of deep depression.
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.
I’m a huge fan of INXS. Started listening to them after watching Never Tear Us Apart the untold story of INXS it was a tv mini series it told you their whole story of how they came to fame and how they came up with their music. I now listen to them mixed with other songs in the car on Spotify. Love them.
INXS - Pronounced -' In Excess' - So amazing you are broadcasting this... Thanks for this... I met him and played Billiards with him and Iva Davies (another Australian band - Ice House) back in the '80's... Hell, they were amazing... back in time xxx
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.
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 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! 🕊️🙏❤️🇭🇲
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.
INXS was an Australian band 1977, that was at the forefront of the New Wave (Neuro) Rock movement that included such bands as Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Adam Ant, The Specials, Ah-Ha, The English Beat, ABC, Bananarama, The Cure, Culture Club, Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, Thompson Twins, Eurythmics, The Go Go's, Flock Of Seagulls, The Human League, UB40, The Pretenders.... Man I could be here for days adding names. What an amazing time for music. But anyways..... INXS formed in 77 started off with a song called Don't Change I think in 82. Then albums The Swing then Listen Like Thieves, but it was Kick in 87 that brought us amazing songs like Need You Tonight, Mystify and Devil Inside. Then New Sensations and Never Tear Us Apart the following year I think. And we lost Hutchence in 97, another greatly missed. Voice of an angel.
Mainly 80s, mainly rock, from Australia. INXS = "in excess." They wrote their own music, and a lot of people who got to see them live say they were just blown away :)
this is one of my personal favs from that ERA...... so much me and my wife wanted too dance to it at our wedding. try some depoche mode or the cure, and the cult for future... and please you should react to the movie called the Commitments
I can never watch a reaction to Michael and not get emotional. We became friends in the 70's,having met in the pub at Crowie through our mutual friend who did lighting. Michael was sweet,shy and the biggest dork you could ever hope to meet,but he knew he had talent and dreamed big. When he,Tim, Andrew, Kirk and the guys went to West Oz we slowly lost touch with each other and with his rising fame and all the glitz that went with it he changed, I have my opinions (which I'll keep to myself) but I say,to this day, getting involved with a certain woman was his ultimate downfall and the situation with her ex husband was Michaels undoing. I'll always love you mate,you were a wonderful friend - if I could turn back time I wouldn't encourage you to go for fame,I'd encourage you to look at WHO you had not what you WISHED you had. Love and respect always ol' mate. ❤️
Yes , that one was definitely a bad egg. I so wish he and Kylie Minogue had of worked out . She wouldnt have lead him into drugs that ultimately killed him . If i could bring one famous artist back it would be Michael . RIP.
Just say Inexcess INXS! Fantastic band from Australia 🇦🇺 you have to watch footage from there London Wembley performance, it was professional recorded at the height of there popularity! There a incredible live band and I do mean incredible and lead singer Micheal Hutchinson RIP (died of a suicide) was the most charismatic frontman of his time, he was a incredible vocalist and had a audience eating out of the palm of his hand, he had that IT factor in spades ♠️ They have so many incredible songs! Please, please do Need You Tonight from Wembley performance or New Sensation or Bitter Tears or Suicide Blonde or What You Need or Mystified or this song from that show, they’re all stellar! I’m sure there will be so many others in the comments that can name more or Devil Inside! There is a great song with Micheal Hutchinson and Jimmy Barnes both from Australia 🇦🇺 who did a song called Good Times from the vampire move The Lost Boys classic horror movie that official video is a BANGER, it in itself deserves a reaction! I love, love ❤️ INXS, miss them miss Micheal Hutchinson they’ll never be another like him😢Thank you for checking out this beautiful song 🎶 check out those Wembley performances🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️🥰By the way that Wembley show was completely sold out with 73,000 fan’s!!! You get the feel of how it was with the crowd jumping, singing you can see how amazing they’re were and see how much the fans loved them! Start with What You Need, Suicide Blonde, Need You Tonight and New Sensation from Wembley performance! Gotta see your face to that👍
INXS, pronounced in- excess, has so many good songs. What i think you'll like most is the poetry and imaginary their lyrics contain. My faves are Don't Change and The One Thing.
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 ❤
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!!!
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.
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!
In excess. And they were FIRE. RIP, Michael Hutchence. Unbelievable talent.
it's INXS.
“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
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.
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.
MORE INXS
MORE INXS
MORE INXS
!!!
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 🙏
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.
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.
How good is the line “We all have wings, but some of us don’t know why”
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.
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!
Mate, cannot believe you have never heard of INXS, one of the greatest Australian bands ever.
Second only to Cold Chisel!!
The entire “KICK” album is absolutely amazing!!
Still one of my all time fav albums
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.
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 🤷🏻♀️
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 ❤
they were also fantastic through the 80s
They started in the 80s
Michael died in the late 90’s & it rocked the Australian public , he & inxs was so loved by us . A true entertainer
My favorite INXS song is “Devil Inside” but “Suicide Blonde” and “What You Need” are up there
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.
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!
😢😢😢 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!!! 🎉🎉🎉🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
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. 😊
Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful video, beautiful Michael RIP
INXS " NEED YOU TONIGHT "
Stunning ❤
YES!!!!!!
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!
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.

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🤞🏻😂
At 40… I’m literally shocked you’ve not heard this…. It was everywhere, huge!
Most Australians would know every single word of this song.
I sang this to my girl at our wedding. 😊
Our MC rocked the sax live too.
Goosebumps! Every time I hear him sing.
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.
Wow! That’s awesome.
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
Michael Hutchence .... a real star and great front man. R.I.P.
Brilliant band great frontman
Such a tragic loss😢
IN-X-S like [in excess].
INXS one of my favorite-band! Soooo much good music! RIP Michael ❤
Bro, Michael Hutchence was a God. I swear growing up in the 80s, women wanted him and men wanted to be him.
INXS played at my High School in the early 80s before they made it big. Amazing band. Miss you Michael Hutchence - what a loss ❤
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.
Love INXS! Michael’s voice was so fantastic! Glad you found them! More please! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
My all time favourite band. My family thought someone had died I was crying so much when Michael died... Someone did die I said. I retreated to my room to listen to my INXS tape over n over..so dramatic I was. But still even today it makes me emotional.
"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
Michael Hutchence.. INXS... 💖❤ Goosebumps everytime. They have so many good songs!. One of my favourite bands as a teenager
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 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 😉 🇦🇺
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.
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 🇭🇲
Their music is awesome. You can't go wrong. Need You Tonight is probably my favorite.
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 🎶
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 💜🙏
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
Also I like to add. Michael Hutchence was the 90 's Jim Morrison. He was our rock god.
Your face when Michael sings brings me back. What a gift this man had.
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
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!
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.
One of the best bands, ever!
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.
My fave tune by INXS is Mystify, it’s a great video.
One of my favourites too 🎉
🙋🏼♂️ 🇬🇧 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...
Yes he even dated Kylie Minogue. Should have stayed with her.
@@guccigasbag2780i think he corrupted Kylie !!! 😂 😂 😂
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 😅
They were along with U2 arguably the biggest band in the 90s
Incredible band from Australia that was popular worldwide in the 80’s. What an incredible singer and performer Michael Hutchence was. RIP, Michael ❤😢
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!
Michael had an amazing voice. I used to play this on repeat as a teenager. They have lots of variety, you might like to go down the rabbit hole. INXS (in excess) an Aussie rock band who 'made it' globally. Great 80's band. Played Wembley stadium. To break into America they played in US colleges as unknowns. Their song Original Sin was apparently banned from being played on certain radio stations in certain areas of the US.
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.
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.
This was the time of the (POWER BALADS ) as we called it 80s 😊
In - X - ess is how it is pronounced.
They were basically a rock band of the mid 80s to the mid 90s and were from Australia.
The old man in the black hat in this video is the great actor Lawrence Olivier. He obviously was an old man then but, it was cool they had him in it. Olivier was the premiere actor of the stage (with some movies). A true giant.
The band was huge during its time and they did a lot of diverse music. It was not the same over and over. They were very interesting musically.
The singer was Michael Hutchins and he was a fantastic singer and frontman. Sad;y he battled with depression and ended up committing suicide in the mid 90s at the age of 36 ending the band. It was extremely tragic. Especially because by the 90s they had the SSRI drugs for depression and with therapy could have learned to live with it and overcome the grip of deep depression.
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.
My favourite album EVER!!!! The whole album is gold.
A life story like no other ,well worth looking it up ,mind blowing talent gone just like that ,,,
I’m a huge fan of INXS. Started listening to them after watching Never Tear Us Apart the untold story of INXS it was a tv mini series it told you their whole story of how they came to fame and how they came up with their music. I now listen to them mixed with other songs in the car on Spotify. Love them.
INXS - Pronounced -' In Excess' - So amazing you are broadcasting this... Thanks for this... I met him and played Billiards with him and Iva Davies (another Australian band - Ice House) back in the '80's... Hell, they were amazing... back in time xxx
Go down the Michael Hutchence rabbit hole please. He is a great singer. Rooms for the Memories is fire.👍💕🦇
Agree
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.
There was just something about the tone of MH’s voice. Just makes you melt. So missed ❤🇦🇺
The opening bars of this song sends me to immediate tears. Miss you Michael. #OzRock
'Need You Tonight' please. Michael was incomparable ❤
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 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! 🕊️🙏❤️🇭🇲
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.
Ooh hitting an Australian classic.👍💕🦇
The whole CD...every song is great! Micheal Hutchence ❤
INXS was an Australian band 1977, that was at the forefront of the New Wave (Neuro) Rock movement that included such bands as Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Adam Ant, The Specials, Ah-Ha, The English Beat, ABC, Bananarama, The Cure, Culture Club, Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, Thompson Twins, Eurythmics, The Go Go's, Flock Of Seagulls, The Human League, UB40, The Pretenders.... Man I could be here for days adding names. What an amazing time for music. But anyways..... INXS formed in 77 started off with a song called Don't Change I think in 82. Then albums The Swing then Listen Like Thieves, but it was Kick in 87 that brought us amazing songs like Need You Tonight, Mystify and Devil Inside. Then New Sensations and Never Tear Us Apart the following year I think. And we lost Hutchence in 97, another greatly missed. Voice of an angel.
Mainly 80s, mainly rock, from Australia. INXS = "in excess." They wrote their own music, and a lot of people who got to see them live say they were just blown away :)
this is one of my personal favs from that ERA...... so much me and my wife wanted too dance to it at our wedding. try some depoche mode or the cure, and the cult for future... and please you should react to the movie called the Commitments
I can never watch a reaction to Michael and not get emotional.
We became friends in the 70's,having met in the pub at Crowie through our mutual friend who did lighting.
Michael was sweet,shy and the biggest dork you could ever hope to meet,but he knew he had talent and dreamed big.
When he,Tim, Andrew, Kirk and the guys went to West Oz we slowly lost touch with each other and with his rising fame and all the glitz that went with it he changed, I have my opinions (which I'll keep to myself) but I say,to this day, getting involved with a certain woman was his ultimate downfall and the situation with her ex husband was Michaels undoing.
I'll always love you mate,you were a wonderful friend - if I could turn back time I wouldn't encourage you to go for fame,I'd encourage you to look at WHO you had not what you WISHED you had.
Love and respect always ol' mate. ❤️
Yes , that one was definitely a bad egg. I so wish he and Kylie Minogue had of worked out . She wouldnt have lead him into drugs that ultimately killed him . If i could bring one famous artist back it would be Michael . RIP.
The triangle with Michael, PY and BG reminds me of Count Vronsky, Anna Karenina and Karenin.
Big, dramatic, tragic
Paula was what they call in dark occult circles as ‘Rosie’ placed there to see his downfall. A dark witch
As a Port Adelaide Fan, being able to sing my heart out to this at Adelaide Oval every time we play makes this song so much more emotional for me.
INXS are absolutely the best such an iconic Aussie band. Michael is one of the best vocalist
Rest in peace to his beautiful soul ❤️
Just say Inexcess INXS! Fantastic band from Australia 🇦🇺 you have to watch footage from there London Wembley performance, it was professional recorded at the height of there popularity! There a incredible live band and I do mean incredible and lead singer Micheal Hutchinson RIP (died of a suicide) was the most charismatic frontman of his time, he was a incredible vocalist and had a audience eating out of the palm of his hand, he had that IT factor in spades ♠️ They have so many incredible songs! Please, please do Need You Tonight from Wembley performance or New Sensation or Bitter Tears or Suicide Blonde or What You Need or Mystified or this song from that show, they’re all stellar! I’m sure there will be so many others in the comments that can name more or Devil Inside! There is a great song with Micheal Hutchinson and Jimmy Barnes both from Australia 🇦🇺 who did a song called Good Times from the vampire move The Lost Boys classic horror movie that official video is a BANGER, it in itself deserves a reaction! I love, love ❤️ INXS, miss them miss Micheal Hutchinson they’ll never be another like him😢Thank you for checking out this beautiful song 🎶 check out those Wembley performances🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️🥰By the way that Wembley show was completely sold out with 73,000 fan’s!!! You get the feel of how it was with the crowd jumping, singing you can see how amazing they’re were and see how much the fans loved them! Start with What You Need, Suicide Blonde, Need You Tonight and New Sensation from Wembley performance! Gotta see your face to that👍
I can't find a reaction, but have you reacted to Faith No More? One of the first rap/rock bands.
INXS, pronounced in- excess, has so many good songs. What i think you'll like most is the poetry and imaginary their lyrics contain. My faves are Don't Change and The One Thing.
Michael - you are missed. INXS will always be on my playlist.
