Posted December 8, 200717 yr Anyone else a fan? Saw them twice live. 6 months before Michael passed. Even shook his hand.
December 8, 200717 yr not a fan as such, but they were a good band in a time of p*** poor music (imho).
December 8, 200717 yr I went to their Live Baby Live Wembley Stadium gig. Michael Hutchence was a very charismatic performer. Obviously they peaked with their blockbusting Kick album, but their Welcome To Wherever You Are is a grossly underrated album. My favourite track of their's is: gk1aX6hvRe8 INXS - Not Enough Time (1993) Whilst their recent reformation with a new singer from a Reality talent competition (Rock Star: INXS) was not the disaster it could so easily have been. Canadian J.D. Fortune is a decent singer who has helped keep the spirit of the band going & this track (written with lyrics by JD as a tribute to Michael) should have been huge: 4BwL_13enB8 INXS - Afterglow (2006)
December 8, 200717 yr Author thisispop I am jealous, what a show that must have been. I read that Michael did some x before singing stairs so he could really enjoy the experience. There is a band called hand of fate. The lead singer was 95% Michael in sound and ability. he would have been the perfect choice than JD. The reason I like INXS so much is I guess it brings me back to better times, the music makes me feel good.
December 9, 200717 yr Saw them support Queen at Wembley Stadium - really good. I liked the album before Kick the best with Falling Down the Mountain and Listen Like Thieves on it. Was it called Listen Like Thieves? My favourite track is The Gift I think from 93.
December 9, 200717 yr Anyone else a fan? not really, but the par-t-one single was good if you like them here's the other inxs list/thread http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=56892
December 13, 200717 yr Author Thanks for the heads up tigerboy. Hopefully, they will make it interesting and not a Hollywood "Sell Out". Michael deserves better.

December 13, 200717 yr Author If done correctly, it should be interesting. Many good stories to tell along with a solid soundtrack.
December 15, 200717 yr Author grebo69 I think that I saw a few on ebay. Good soundtrack: Rooms for the memory, golf course and green dragon. Michael didn't do too bad as an actor either.

I think it's a top notch film. I do have it on VHS (and the soundtrack on vinyl!) but I would love to have a copy on DVD. I'll go and have a look.
December 15, 200717 yr Author How much do you want for the Vinyl? There is a good market for that these days.
