Charles" Subject: [INXS] State of Origin & Kick Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I got a plan to make you a star, make you grow rich, make you go far.... Hi all!! How are you? Well, this is not the most exciting mail, but at least it's an attempt to improve on more recent mail (RE: complainers about the list, etc). In Australia, there is a very big football series called the State Of Origin, where Queensland plays New South Wales in a three game series (like an allstar game). Anyway, the TV promotion ad's for this series had INXS's Kick as the theme song/anthem this year. While you saw football players, playing football (obviously) on the TV ad the lines 'sometime you kick, sometimes you get kicked' and the great guitar sounds were in the background. They also played the Kick chorus at the games after a team scored. So it was great to see Australia's best football series (sorry you AFL supporters) associatted with Australia's (and the world's) best rock band!! ----> A perfect combination!

Basically, it was Michael showing us around Hong Kong, where he visited his old house (from when he was very young), it is now derelict. He visited his old school, where he chatted to pupils and the head mistress, who also revealed that he used to like stamp collecting! He also visited the flat he used to share with Jon, went to the races, talked to Jackie Chan, and sang Born to be Wild in a karaoke bar. There are a few other bits 'n pieces but overall it was very interesting. I don't know of any repeat times.

He said something to the effect of, "Hey, here's some fruit for ya!", and slung a handful into the audience. I guess that answers the question of what bands do with all the fancy fruit and veggie platters they get back stage. All in all I'd rather have been nailed with a kumquat than a peach, banana, etc, and although I hadn't planned to keep it for eternity, it did dry rather nicely in the pot pourri basket. This was also the same concert that Hutch shorted out the stage electricity while dousing Tim with Evian. It was a bit suspicious looking at the time (they'd announced weren't taking a break mid show--but this provided them one anyway...). Michael did look pretty sheepish about it--but maybe he was ACTING! I was wondering, did any similar antics occurred at other venues during that tour?

A few weeks ago, some people claimed they heard the words "better than oasis" in the song Elegantly Wasted. I just watched a snippet and interview from the recent Wembley show. As god is my witness, Hutch actually said "better than oasis"!! I just kind of groaned and laughed when I saw it. The interviewer (a contest winner) asked him about it and he kind of blushed and mumbled and denied it, but if you watch the tape you can see for yourself. There's no doubt about it. Those of you who attended the Wembley show - did you catch this? I believe it will be replayed on Much this Saturday at 7 p.m. on the weekly Rapid Fax program.

This post contains links and selected excerpts of album reviews. While there are a handful of negative or mixed reviews, most have been positive. In a later post I'll give you some interviews and foreign language stuff. I apologise if you've already seen these - I've checked Neil's site, but I'm only human. I have deliberately left out a couple of negative reviews which were more laughable than believable. One review of EW (the single) went along these lines: - put cassette into player - pressed play - listened to 5 seconds of - pressed eject - smashed cassette Gee, I wonder how much you get paid for writing such nonsensical reviews without even bothering to listen to the whole thing? When I reviewed CDs for my Uni newspaper I would listen to each CD at least half a dozen times before expressing my opinion. And I didn't even get paid for it! I reckon most of the negative reviews were written by people who didn't bother listening to EW more than once, if at all. You may need to scroll-through to the INXS parts of some documents.

Date: Tue, 1 Jul 1997 22:11:47 -0600 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I feel that "She Is Rising" is the best song of EW. Very...haunting. Not single material, though, but like I've said before, if U2 made this song and made it a single it would be a smash. But the music biz and the buying public has it's own preconceptions about what an INXS single should be and "She Is Rising" NOT conforming to that preconception wouldn't do well. The public expects singles to sound like "EW" and "Girl On Fire", but at the same time would just say it all sounds the same. Recent lack of popularity? No one will argue with you about that, as disappointing as it is. I guess the "public" just isn't interested anymore. It's NOT because the last few albums were bad. Far from it! Stylistically and artistically, the last three albums (WtWYA, FMDH, and EW) have all been superior albums to X or even Kick. I think lack of a strong promotional push is the key. This is not an excuse; it's the way the "business" is. I've got friends who aren't U2 fans who bought "Pop". Which is, by the way, a VERY over-hyped album, but THAT'S THE KEY. If EW (or any of the last three albums) had the promotional hype "Pop" had, it would have been a chart smash. ANY album by ANY group can be a smash if it has enough hype. But NO ONE can deny INXS' prowess as a live band. Current chart success Beck even acquiesed at a festival in Dallas in April and let INXS headline instead because he knew how great a live act they are and didn't want the pressure of coming on after them. Few people leave an INXS show disappointed. If only THAT success can be translated into album sales...

Before I begin, I realize that you're not the most popular person on this list and your opinions do tend get on my nerves. You can be pompous, condescending, and overbearing. Most other listers don't even bother to read what you have to say anymore (or CLAIM not to, but I'm no so sure...), but I am forced to admit I look forward to your postings as they add a bit of spice to the list and provoke heated debate, so I am in no way trying to push you around or in any sense advocate your removal--or anyone else's--from this list. But I am really curious as to WHY you still consider yourself an INXS fan. I've asked you this before but didn't feel I got a direct answer. It's okay to dislike an album, song, video, image, etc, but you don't seem to have like ANYTHING the band has done since X, as you've made perfectly clear in your recent post on your favorite song, "Suicide Blonde". You don't like the music from the last three albums, you don't like the videos (you seemed to indicate that when talking about the newest video, DLYH), and most of all, you don't like their "look". Now I admit, I wish they'd all brush their hair so it wouldn't be so mussed up, but I don't bank my liking for the band on it. Several songs on EW sound like they'd be right at home on Kick or X (your favorite period for the band), so what's up with your comment on INXS hitting a new low? Are you just looking at sales? If so, that's NOT a good way to rate an album. I don't like the low sales, either--no one does. Seeing INXS top the charts again would be a great vindication for all our faith in the band, and I'm damn mad they don't get the exposure and the recognition they deserve. But I don't let it affect my liking for the band. And, also, EW has already done better saleswise that FMDH, so to say it's a new low is really inaccurate. So, if INXS has been so disappointing for you the last six or so years, why are you still a fan? If it's because of their past success and the way they "looked" back in the late eighties, that's one thing. But those days are gone, for better or worst, and if INXS never has a successful album commercially again, I'll STILL be a fan. So why are YOU?

But those days > are gone, for better or worst, and if INXS never has a successful album > commercially again, I'll STILL be a fan. So why are YOU? You have to care weather the band has comercial success again. As fans we are the last people who want to see INXS vanish forever and you know or should know that without some level of comercial success, they're will be no more new INXS music. We all want the band to stay around for awhile. Now the kind of comercial success were talking about is not a Kick type of a situation. We all the greatness that was Kick can only happen once. All INXS needs is one sold album that sells a million copies and has a hit or two. That's all we need. But they can't seem to buy it. Now this is where I think the problem lies. The music has not declined so much in the last few albums, but they're all over the board on they're image. In the 80's we all loved they're clean cut interesting persona that gave each band member an interesting personality. Hutch the sexy one, Andrew the quiet one, Kirk the sort of dorky one, and Jon the baby etc. We never doubted this was who they are. In the 90's they complete do a 180 and start following the current trend of seventies clothes, messy hair and that total I don't care what I look like thing. WHAT BOTHERS ME AND SHOULD BOTHER YOU ALL IS THAT THEY SLAPPED US IN THE FACE. DON'T YOU ALL FIND IT FRUSTRATING THAT YOU BELIEVE WHO SOMEONE IS AND THEY CHANGE OVERNIGHT. WHO ARE THEY. WAS THE 80'S THING AND ACT TO SO THEY COULD FIT WITH THOSE TRENDS. THE LAST FEW ALBUMS HAVE MADE US BEG THE QUESTION. You all know that the proof they have been taking us for a ride is in FMDH. It was blatant that they went overboard with the grunge thing so they toned it way down for EW. Don't you see they keep changing they're image every album. That hurts when we thought we had heroes who were confident in who they are. Why do I care so much about image. You all do to. You just don't know it. I think you would all admit it wasn't they're music that first hooked you. It was they're great image with distinct personalities for each band member. Look at the Spice Girls. I know you all hate them but the reason they have 10 times the success of INXS right now is that they are increadibley interesting. They are a return to the 80's idea of the band all having a personality. INXS in the 90's is boring. If your flipping through the channels and come upon the video for EW, the mainstream would think they are any other grunge band out there. However the video for Need You Tonight instantley identfies INXS and they're unique style. You can't take your eyes off it. I'LL SAY AGAIN. THIS BAND IS COOL ENOUGH THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO FOLLOW TRENDS. THEY SHOULD MAKE THEY'RE OWN LIKE THEY DID IN THE 80'S. HOW COULD THEY HAVE LOST FOCUS OF THIS. This is getting long so I will write the second part of my save INXS thesis later. Thanks for listening.

Hopefully they will find some way to get over here to New England to grace me with their presence. Seeing them live would be a dream come true. Everyone I know that has seen them live said they put on a fantastic show. As for the best song off EW.....I really loving Building Bridges and We are Thrown Together. I don't know how much airplay INXS gets elsewhere, but here in New Hampshire they don't get much at all. At least the new songs that is. Actually I do hear EW at least once a day on the radio.

WAS THE >80'S THING AND ACT TO SO THEY COULD FIT WITH THOSE TRENDS. THE LAST FEW >ALBUMS HAVE MADE US BEG THE QUESTION. Change overnight? The 80's were 7 years ago. The true 80 more than 10. In 1983, I wore blue eyeshadow, short pink jean mini skirts with purple wrap-around belts and sweatshirts with the collars torn out so they would hang off my shoulder. Now that I'm 30, I'd most likely be shot on sight. Everone changes when they get older. Everyone gets influenced by the world around them -- It's called growing up. Of course the 80's thing was so they could fit in -- do you think we would have even looked twice if they hadn't been at least a little flashy? I happen to like they way they look right now and the way they sound. Like me, they've grown up, if you think that's a slap in the face, I hope you never have kids. You all know that the proof they >have been taking us for a ride is in FMDH. It was blatant that they went >overboard with the grunge thing so they toned it way down for EW. Don't >you see they keep changing they're image every album. That hurts when we >thought we had heroes who were confident in who they are. Heroes? I've never thought of these guys as heroes. They're musicians, not supermen. They play music, not leap buildings in a single bound. And like the rest of us, things happen in their lives, events push them into new areas, trends influence them. They have babies, wives, aging parents, aging bodies. I haven't seen them "changing their image every album" as much as they've been pushing their boundries. It's what you do when you grow up. Test the waters and see what feels good. When I was younger, I wrote sappy love poetry and nursery rhymes. Stuff I'm embarrassed to read now. I take on topics with a little more bite to them these days. Does that mean I'm changing my image to suit my readership? Hardly. >you. It was they're great image with distinct personalities for each band >member. Look at the Spice Girls. I know you all hate them but the reason >they have 10 times the success of INXS right now is that they are >increadibley interesting. They are a return to the 80's idea of the band >all having a personality. INXS in the 90's is boring. And here is your problem Philip - you want time to stand still. You'd like to see these guys jumping around on stage like they're still 20 years old but Garry just turned 40. The Spice Girls aren't interesting -- they just ooze sex and teenagers drool. TEENAGERS -- the ones with the purchasing power. The ones that actually go out and buy CDs like candy. I have over 2000 tapes from my teenage years to prove that theory. How many of them do I listen to???? Nada. When's the last time you saw a 14 year old creaming her jeans over a 40 year old?? It doesn't happen very often. And, while I can relate to most of the lyrics because (surprise surprise) they're talking about issue I understand -- you know, growing up, losing loved ones, having children and all those adult issues -- the average CD-buying teenager looks at it and goes "It doesn't mean anything." Of course it doesn't. They're not here yet. INXS in the 90's isn't boring, unless you're of the opinion that growing older is boring. As for "a return to the 80's idea of the band all having a personality," Kajagoogoo? Flock of Seagulls? How about The Human League where the men looked just like the women? As a band they all had one personality. The whole reason I liked INXS was because they had separate personalities. That's not an 80's thing. That was and still is an INXS thing. If your flipping >through the channels and come upon the video for EW, the mainstream would >think they are any other grunge band out there. However the video for >Need You Tonight instantley identfies INXS and they're unique style. You >can't take your eyes off it. Actually, I can't take my eyes off of EW so I can't agree with you here either. The MUSIC identifies it as INXS and immediately disqualifies "any other grunge band." And when's the last time you saw a grunge band member walking around in a white-leather cowboy suit? To me, that's typical INXS..... >I'LL SAY AGAIN. THIS BAND IS COOL ENOUGH THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO FOLLOW >TRENDS. THEY SHOULD MAKE THEY'RE OWN LIKE THEY DID IN THE 80'S. HOW COULD >THEY HAVE LOST FOCUS OF THIS. Make their own? Philip, what I'm about to say is the same argument we keep throwing at you and you keep rejecting but I'm gonna say it again anyway. If some other band had come out with EW, they'd have been praised for their originality. INXS comes out with EW and they're blasted for being themselves. After 20 years, they shouldn't have to be "making new trends," they are their own trend. Aerosmith has put out 3 albums in a row that all sound exactly the same. My hubby, a HUGE Aerosmith fan, didn't even bother to buy their latest. I don't hear their music on the radio either unless it's the old stuff. But it doesn't matter because they are Aerosmith. Just like it doesn't matter because they are INXS. Screw the public in this case. They're all under the age of 18 with disposable incomes and not a care in the world. In other words, they don't care about the kind of "trend" a band of 40-year-old men would like to set. They only care about what their hormones tell them too -- Spice Girls. And before you throw Aerosmith's recent "bigtime comeback" in my face, need I remind you of your 70's clothes wearing grunge trend? Aerosmith didn't have to change, they just stood still and waited for retro to catch up with them and then pumped out some sappy love songs and put 18 year-old girls in their videos, or better yet, 15 year-old boys joy riding in a stolen car. Who wouldn't go for that?

I've thought this myself for a long time. But, in the end, I think that the most important thing is that we are all INXS fans, proud of it and want to see the band do as well as possible so that we have more access to see and hear them more often. All this silly bickering and bashing on the list is ridiculous and I think really embarassing to have any of the band reading all of this. Or maybe that is just me. The last thing anybody on here should be doing is making another INXS fan feel bad about being here. It's us, the really dedicated fans, who should be heartily cheering for all the new fans we pick up. We manage to do this outside of this list, why is it that we can't seem to manage it here? I really hate the censorship that rears its ugly head here sometimes. The real truth of the matter is that we often times don't have enough to make real conversation about so we attack/ridicule others for their opinions. Why does it matter why somebody likes the band for their hairdo, their clothes, their winning personalities or whatever. And let's face it...the gossip regarding their personal lives is the most interesting thing we discuss on here sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love the list and the people on it. I just think that our focus gets skewed way too often and we forget why we're on this list in the first place. I know I suscribed because I wanted to hear info about INXS and share MY OPINIONS with other INXS fans. And that included the gossip and the lighter stuff.

I dont think so. Go and get a top 40 chart from the mid 80s, 95% of these bands bands dont even have an image anymore. Most perished or took the money and ran. INXS however made their money , invested wisely and are now looking after their TRUE fans. And I didn't go and buy The Swing 14 years ago because of this bands image, I bought it for the music and every INXS album since has not disappointed me music wise since. But to you Phillip I say a big WELL DONE, This list is finally starting to talk about INXS again.

I don't know any other way to begin this! I'm a (newer) INXS fan. I know Duranie's call the new fans New School Duranies, I'm sure there's a phrase for INXS fans as well. I just wanted to respond to a few comments about the whole 80's vs. 90's issue, if I could. ;) "TEENAGERS -- the ones with the purchasing power. The ones that actually go out and buy CDs like candy." True, true. I'm a high school Junior and I know my CD collection is extremely large. BUT. What makes up my CD collection? My INCREDIBLE collection of Duran Duran CD's, imports, promo's, mainstream, singles, records, tapes. My complete collection of INXS CD's. My large variety of 80's one hit wonders - Scritti Politti, The Blow Monkeys, Nik Kershaw, etc. The likes of Wham!, Corey Hart, David Bowie, George Michael, Howard Jones. And I've been a fan of this genre of music for what, 7 years now? "It doesn't happen very often. And, while I can relate to most of the lyrics because (surprise surprise) they're talking about issue I understand -- you know, growing up, losing loved ones, having children and all those adult issues -- the average CD-buying teenager looks at it and goes "It doesn't mean anything." Of course it doesn't." *Cough.* Of course, I realize not every teenager has the maturity and the music tastes I do. I'm not every teenager. The reason Teenagers like music is because they can relate to it - if I didn't relate to songs like Guns in the Sky or She Is Rising etc, I wouldn't BE an INXS fan. I wouldn't've shelled out 200$ to go see them at the Greek Theatre in 10 days. I wouldn't have spent the money and time I spent looking for ALL the CD's. Not just Kick, and Listen Like Theives, and Elegantly Wasted, but albums like Welcome to Wherever You Are and X, Live Baby Live, etc. It means something to me. "They only care about what their hormones tell them too -- Spice Girls." I, and a VERY large number of other teenager's I know, cannot stand the Spice Girls. Come ON, "Zig-A-Zig-Ah"? Follow the link here for the proof... http://www.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Music/Artists/By_Genre/Rock/Spice_Girls/Anti_Spice_Girls/ And PLEASE understand! I'm not saying Stazya is WRONG! I'm not dismissing the good points of the argument, I'm not (How to put this eloquently..) "Bagging" on her. I'm adding my comments, trying to show that there ARE exceptions to every stereotype. I am one of them. May I please add, as a closing note? I put up with CRAP EVERYDAY from fellow classmates about my music. Just because I don't think Hanson and The Spice Girls are going to revolutionize music with their abundance of talent and skillfull literacy (MMMBOP! Bop Bop Doo Bop, Do Ba Ba MMBOP..), because I have chosen to listen to bands with a real record behind them, who've proven their staying power and still stay relevant, providing quality music. I made a choice 7 years ago. And I've never felt any other way, otherwise. Well, thank you for listening! I know I rambeled on a bit ; but.. I guess it's something I strongly believe in. Thanks, Sarah Date: 2 Jul 1997 15:18:38 -0500 From: "Diab-ABD015 Basil" Subject: [INXS] INXS AND IMAGE To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I'm throwing my hat into the ring for this Philip/INXS/80's debate. I respect your opinion, Philip, but I also disagree with it...wholeheartedly! You concentrate on image and commercial success. Where is it written that if they don't sell millions of albums, they won't record anymore? If that were the case, they would have stopped after WTWYA. Obviously their record company and now the movie industry have a little bit of faith in the band as well. And if you haven't noticed (you haven't), their tour so far has been quite successful. This is not a biased fan's opinion. There is no identity problem with INXS. Of course they have changed and experimented with their musical style. That's what artists do. Anyone can come out with two or three albums that sound the same and market them cleverly via MTV just to achieve commercial success. These bands are not staying relevant. They're just selling out. (See Aerosmith, Metallica, U2). Judging by your constant references to the New Kids, Spice Girls and clean cut 80's images, I can see that it's not the artistic integrity that you're speaking of, but the superficial nostalgic memories they invoke. Philip, everyone has a different reason for liking INXS. You're reason seems to center around the clothes they wear, the image they project, the number of albums they sell, and the teenage memories they provoke for you. There's nothing wrong with that. The reason you get so much flack from everyone on this list is because many people feel that this is a shallow reason for buying a band's albums. And actually, if you read most of the negative reviews about INXS from critics, they also seem to be more about the image, whereas the positive reviews concentrate on the music. Most of us have stuck with INXS because we have found a great appeal in a combination of factors: Michael's stand-out voice, Andrew's incredibly versatile melodic songwriting, and one of the greatest rhythm sections in rock music, all backed up by live performances that even the most ruthless of critics have praised repeatedly. That is their true identity, and it has not changed, just improved. So, you see Philip, you can have your Spice Girls, your New Kids and your nice, neat clean-cut images. If you choose to sit around and listen to "Kick" and marvel at the pictures of the band's neatly trimmed hairstyles on the album cover, then more power to you. I, along with other fans of their MUSIC, will continue to enjoy the variety of sounds and enormous talent that comes with every new INXS release. And if a lack of commercial success means that they never record another album, of course I'll be disappointed, but I will always have the music to remind me, and INXS will always be able to say that they maintained their integrity by not caving into jaded music critics and an MTV-controlled public.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hey, guys, I just read 46 messages and the majority of them were bickering back and forth. It's really sad. I remember when I first joined the list, almost a year ago, and I thought it was a really cool place to voice your opinions, ask questions and get to know the passion in other INXS fans. The list was filled with really cool people, with intelligent opinions who were here because they were INXS fans, that's all. Now it is a list filled with angry voices, insults, and people who obviously don't like each other. I agree with two posts I have read. One said they would be embarrased for the band to be reading this, I would be, too. The other said that Phillip has at least brought the subject back to INXS, and I have to agree with that, too, although I'm not crazy about the way he did it. I realize that with so many different personalities on this list that there are bound to be clashes, but this is getting ridiculous. The thing that is really crazy is that in writing email, you have a chance to think before you speak, and people don't seem to be doing that. So this is a call for peace on this list. I am not a saint, as Phillip can attest to, but after reading a lot of immature nonsense, I am learning myself. Agree to disagree or do it privately. I will start by apologizing to anyone I ever insulted. This includes you Phillip, and yes I am one of the ones who wanted you off the list, but to be honest, I would kind of miss your comments and the spark they bring. And I do still read some of your posts, but only when I want to argue with a nameless face who can't hear me yelling at him (do your ears ring often). What I am saying is that we can have disagreements, we can have heated discussions, but at that the same time we need to remember that even though we can't hear each other speak, or see each other's faces, that these are real people you are talking to. We all have feelings, morals, values, and opinions. No one needs to be bashed in a public forum. Arguing in public does not show how witty we are, it shows how immature we are. The mature person discusses things privately. So let's debate our favourite song, let's debate other bands, let's debate the fashion thing, but let's have good old fashioned arguments where we fight like hell and then have a beer together. But let's not have personal attacks, misunderstanding, and hatred. There's enough of that in the world, we don't need it here. And keep in mind that Jason runs this list because he wants to, not because he has to. He can shut us all down if he likes and that would be a huge loss to us all. We are all here for love of INXS, so obviously we have one thing in common. Can respect for others be the second thing we share?

The most irritating thing I had to put up with while growing up was "How can you like them? You weren't even born yet!"

THIS BAND IS COOL ENOUGH THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO FOLLOW >TRENDS. THEY SHOULD MAKE THEY'RE OWN LIKE THEY DID IN THE 80'S. HOW COULD >THEY HAVE LOST FOCUS OF THIS. I'd like to interject my own opinion on two parts of this. First, am I the only one who hates the Need You Tonight video? I love mediate, but NYT just seems so...dumb. The head bobbing to the guitar especially irritated me, it seemed more dorky than anything else. I really never understood why that video won so many awards as much as I love the song. Second, the image thing-people change! and last time I checked, all of the members of INXS were people, so that should give them the right to change. Maybe FMDH was a "grunge sellout" or maybe it was a throwback to their old pub days, I personally believe it was a little bit of both. But you can say that about any band that changes their style a little bit-I remember when REM's Monster came out, half the people cried "sellout" because they "went grunge", the other half cried "sellout" because grunge was considered uncool. The worst of both worlds. But did it matter in the end? No, what stands is the music, not the image. And if they "avoided trends and stayed in their 80's mode" well wouldn't that just be following trend too because there is an 80's revival going on right now?

First the sad fact is the Spice Girls are the biggest group in the world right now. They have sold 3 million copies of Spice just in America and have had three hit singles. They're album has been in the top 5 for weeks. The reason is simple. They're music is generic and not that unique from any other feel good pop song. They are not breaking any new ground here. So why the success? Becasuse the world has been waiting for interesting personalities to latch onto and turn into stars. The public loves to be marketed and by creating an interesting gimmic for each girl (Sport Spice, Ginger Spice, Baby Spice etc.) they hit the nail on the head. All these 90's bands look and sound the same and people cannot be pulled in. Any member of these grunge groups could go and play in another and no one would no the difference. They area all the same. INXS in the 80's and early ninties created they're own world that was darn interesting. The video's from Kick left a stamp on the world that said this is what were all about. Now it seems that they have lost the idea of creativity and just want to blend in. Mistake, they're getting lost! People can't see them! You can see the point I'm getting at. Sorry to sound like a broken record. This band could rule the world. The songwriting talent is there and the personalities are they're. They just need to start being themselves again and get people excited. To respond to Basil. Your point is important. Image is not everything. But without commercial success of some sort, the band will not be able to get a record deal and will Dissapear. It is they're image that I believe is the cause of they're slump. In all honesty I think that the songs on EW are a bit of a let down, but I know they have the music in them. I am a very optimistic person and yes I love the 80's for the positive imagery. But I take this INXS thing seriousley because everything in entertainment in the last few years has fallen to a new low. Have you all noticed??? The state of movies and music couldn't be in a worse shape. Hollywood has turned out some of the poorest excuses for movies in the last two years and every established musical act that has realeased an album in the last two years has fallen flat on they're face. It is a bad time and this is the stuff that the teenagers of today have to define they're youth. I was counting on bands like INXS to bring the world out of this rut. EW didn't do it.

Date: Thu, 3 Jul 1997 04:31:14 -0500 (CDT) From: Phil McClean To: inxs-list Subject: [INXS] Burn the image - listen to the music Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu How about this as a test. Burn all your INXS paraphenalia. Rip up your album covers. Trash all CD artwork. Read no newspaper with the Billboard numbers. (Especially ignore any numbers related information.) Don't watch E-News, Entertainment Tonight (Weekly), MTV News (or MTV or VH-1 for that matter). And don't discuss how "cool" the band is. Just keep the music and listen, listen, listen. Then decide after, oh let say six months - do you like the music? At least for me that is all that matters. Whenever you listen to the band (or any musician for that matter) talk, they always say they make music they like and hope they public likes it. If the public likes it, that is the bonus to them. It is the record company that turns this into an image circus, and I suggest ignore or their efforts. Consider two things. First, Prince was told he was producing too much music for his record company. Can you imagine your boss walking in and saying your working too hard. All the record companies want is one album with 5 top ten hits and sells 15 million copies. Why? They only have a single promotion effort and that maximizes their profits. So when Prince showed up every 10-12 months with a new album they didn't know what to do, except tell him they were not interested. That might give you an indication why he wrote Slave on his face. Secondly, let's consider bluegrass musicians. If they sell 15,000 copies of an album it is considered a smash hit. They make music they like, travel all over the US playing festivals every summer weekend and enjoying what they do. They obviously are not in it for the money, they do it because they love music and performing for the public. And in essence that is all that INXS is doing --- playing in the band. So listen to the music, enjoy. If you can convert someone great. If not you should still enjoy the music. If you feel embarrassed that your favorite group only sells 15,000 copies or only draws a few thousand to a show, maybe it is something other than the music you are interested in.

Let's all face it INXS has what it takes to survive , as for all this stuff about them loseing sight in the 90's i'm kind of opposed to that thought because , i wasn't an INXS fan until Elegantly wasted came out , I mean I had the greatest hits and liked it a lot but I wasn't even aware of who was in the band what other ablums they had or anything , now I have everyone of there albums and have more memorabilia than people I now that have loved INXS from the time the ONe thing video came out . Personally I like FMDH and WTWYA , ok I'll admit there aren't as many songs on each that I like because on the Swing , listenlike thieves , X , Kick and Shabooh Shoobah I love every song , But I think that there are certain songs on WTWYA that say so much about society and people such as my second Favorite INXS song " Strange Desire " . I just think that like anything else INXS has changed a littla as they have grown those of us who love almost ever thingthey do are " fans " of the band , those who just love one or two albums are "fans " of that period of the band .

July 2, 1997: While in Vienna, Austria, Michael went to see David Bowie in concert and after the show they both met up backstage. Tomorrow is Kirk's birthday and the band is planning to celebrate in style in Oslo. INXS will appear on the US nationally syndicated radio program Rockline on Monday, July 7. Michael, Garry, and Andrew will talk with host Bob Coburn and field telephone questions from fans during the 90 minute program. INXS will be performing live on the radio on The Mark & Brian Show on Thursday, July 10th. The Mark & Brian Show originates in Los Angeles, on 95.5 KLOS, and is syndicated in about 20 cities. The band will perform in the Mark & Brian Amphitheater (really a conference room at the station) to about 30 listeners. INXS are to be featured on the best of Hard Rock Live on VH-1 (USA) July 5 at 5pm EDT. A clip will be shown from their recent Hard Rock Live show taped in April in New York.

His ideas to separate oneself from the media and simply enjoy the music is a great one, and, if we all think about it, something we've all been forced to do regarding INXS in recent years. In my opinion, anyone who's on this list after the several years of media inattention paid to the band must, at some point, have gotten over the whole media darlings/image thing. As much as we'd love to see Kick-era recognition, it hasn't been happening. Considering that, I think we *are* a loyal and devoted group of fans. I'm so glad to see the bickering here is coming to an end and that people are getting back to the point of the list. For a while there I hardly recognized us! As for success being a relative term and Phil's comment about blue grass- I also must agree. Outside of my INXS and U2 listening, my primary focus is on Celtic music, usually sung in Gaelic. I'm sure if any of those artists (not including Enya) were to experience million-selling albums, they'd be beside themselves with joy.

This message is mainly for you. The latest issue of Australian Rolling Stone features the top 200 albums as published in the US edition. The local editors have decided not to tamper with the American list, but rather to ask readers to send in lists of their favourite Aussie albums. You don't have to buy the magazine - all you need to do is send your lists to them via snail-mail (see address below). These readers' lists will be used to compile a list of the top Australian albums. As we all know, RS has not been kind to INXS lately. However in the magazine they did mention that INXS, among others, has produced some essential recordings. So, here's a chance for you to show your support for INXS.

Karen From: INXSBABE@aol.com Date: Thu, 3 Jul 1997 22:15:43 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Re: 80' inxs vs 90's Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I sadly have to say that I didn't know who INXS was until KICK was released. After I bought that album I found out that they sung one of my fave songs "What You Need" so I bought ALL of the pre-Kick albums and have bought all of the INXS cds since. I have been into INXS now for about 8 years (I'm now 22). INXS has changed direction a lot over the years. At first, they sounded punk and talked of things like Roller Skating and boat rides. The albums are cool and the bass lines we hear today stem from these albums--just think about Learning How to Smile. Michael's voice was very raw during these first two releases. When I first bought INXS and Underneath the Colours I thought "This can't be Michael singing." Things started changing direction with Shabooh Shoobah. Michael's vocal tones, IMO, changed for the better. Some all-time fan faves come from this album especially "Don't Change" and "The One Thing." Jon's style changes here as well. More cymbals and drum fills can be heard. It sounds like he has more parts. If I'm not mistaken, he played minimally in the first two albums. Jon starts to venture out and correct me if I'm wrong but I think he started to use his personally designed toms. They are a cross between a rototom and a regular tom. I'll finish my 80's v. 90's piece later. I know people don't have the time usually to read long posts.

However it is our LOVE for their music that makes us stay fans. The image has now become irrelevant, and it's the music that makes the difference. I, for one, used to be in lurve with certain members of the band (ie: Michael and Jon) but now that is no longer an issue. I keep listening to the band, and keep on seeing them live because the music rocks, and live, well they are unbeatable. Testament to that is the fact that I have seen them live seven (7) times. And I will keep on going back for more. The reason we love the band is the music. Nothing more, nothing less.

After playing movie soundbites, the guy on the commercial said "featuring the INXS hit DLYH from they're latest release EW" (or something to that effect). I think I'd read about this commercial somewhere on the list before, but I had never heard it in this area before. I've gotta admit, I didn't think that this movie thing was going to help EW sales at all, but after hearing that commercial I've got to believe that at least a few people are going to hear this commercial and say "hey I didn't even know INXS had a new album and that song sounds pretty cool, let me check it out". Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that a commercial is going to make the album go platinum, but it certainly was good advertisement. Maybe some stations will even play the song now.

Gold and Platinum designations are different for each country. In the US, Gold is 500,000 copies sold, while Platinum is sales in excess of 1 million. As a point of comparison, in the UK, on the other hand, Platinum is 300,000 copies sold.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I was at a small Adelaide record store (University Records) and found a different version of the Greatest Hits CD. There were 18 tracks (last song: Baby Don't Cry) and had BOTH the new songs: The Strangest Party and Deliver Me. I also noticed that it was made in Australia. Does this mean this is the new Australian version of tGH? Can any other Aussies confirm this? I didn't buy the CD because I've already got 'Deliver Me'. A while back, a copy of the US Greatest Hits CD somehow made its way into Uni Records. I asked the guy at the counter about it, and he said it must have been a mistake by the record company. He checked for others, but there was only one copy. I wasn't going to pass up this opportunity, so I bought it. Has anyone else in Australia found an overseas version of tGH in a local store?

They played New Sensation, Devil Inside, What You Need,The One Thing, Never Tear Us Apart. I was pleased ; because I had never seen The One Thing or Devil Inside.. I would've thought they would've played Need You Tonight, but.. And, that brings me to a few questions. As I've mentioned earlier; *I* haven't been a fan very long (Probably about two or three months..) and I'm also a teenager; wasn't around (or very aware) in the 80's. And my Mother and I got into an argument about a few things. Okay. I know Michael's hair is naturally light/dark brown ; but is it naturally curly? That's the one my mother was REALLY adamant about. And, which was more popular, Need You Tonight or What You Need (Of course, Need You Tonight being one of MY favorites and What You Need being one of hers..)

I think this one depends on who you ask. NYT is the biggest single in INXS' career, being the only INXS single to ever top the US charts. It's also INXS' only single to ever crack the UK Top 10 (at #2). In terms of mass appeal (ala the people who like stuff like MMMBop), NYT *is* INXS. Also, to many fans who first discovered the band because of this song, it will always be their favorite. Now, in terms of importance in the rock scene and with those who have been fans of the band since the early 80s, I'd say WYN is a more popular favorite. For example, you'll hear WYN often on classic rock stations, but they wouldn't touch NYT with a ten foot pole. WYN was also the band's first Top 5 single in the US (also their first Top 10 in the US), so many prefer this one. -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- nkoth@iname.com NJ Med '00 -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html X-Sender: stazya@pop3.wt.net Date: Sat, 05 Jul 1997 20:24:25 -0500 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: Stazya Ambler Subject: Re: [INXS] Lonely Burning Questions..

Also some of you have been talking about censorship with DLYH's lyrics being changed - in Australia some of the stores are selling their 'Everything' singles with this big warning sticker on the cover because of the 'Let it Ride' lyrics. It sort of strange because you see the cover of 'Everything', and think what a beautiful song 'Everything' is, and you think how can a song like this have a warning?, but then a few seconds later you realise the warning is for the b-side song. Someone asked about a "new" Australian 'Greatest Hits' cd, there probably is, as I mentioned a month or so back, there was to be a new Japanese Greatest Hits CD released in May/June, so Australia probably did the same. I'll check it out during the next week and let you know. Matthew. From: SOyer1651@aol.com Date: Sat, 5 Jul 1997 23:47:27 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] Thanks Neil!

(1) Recently there was a news item covering Vogue's attack on the state of Aussie fashion. What's the INXS connection I hear you ask? Well they showed some footage from the most recent Australian Fashion week, and the music playing was ... Elegantly Wasted. BTW, for those interested, the designers who used EW in their show were Morrissey-Edmonson (sp?). Maybe Hutch and Co wear their stuff? (2) Has anyone in Australia seen the band 'Vertigo'. They appeared on a recent episode of Hey Hey It's Saturday. The reason I mention this is because the singer looked and moved like Hutch, especially around the X era. Unfortunately the music didn't make much of an impression. I have since found out that the singer is Hugh Wilson. I remember seeing this guy perform on a TV talent show (Star Search, I think) a few years ago. He did a fairly decent rendition of Never Tear Us Apart. He actually won his heat, and if memory serves, he went on to win the final, performing different songs each week. (3) 'Kick' used to be the theme song for the ABC's coverage of SA's Aussie Rules football. (4) At least three INXS songs were used in the SBS coverage of a recent four-nation soccer tournament held in Australia. If memory serves, the songs were: 'Shine Like It Does', 'Kiss the Dirt' and 'What You Need'. Cheers, Bruno A. P.S.

I was at a small Adelaide record store (University Records) and found a different version of the Greatest Hits CD. There were 18 tracks (last song: Baby Don't Cry) and had BOTH the new songs: The Strangest Party and Deliver Me. I also noticed that it was made in Australia. Does this mean this is the new Australian version of tGH? Can any other Aussies confirm this? I didn't buy the CD because I've already got 'Deliver Me'. A while back, a copy of the US Greatest Hits CD somehow made its way into Uni Records. I asked the guy at the counter about it, and he said it must have been a mistake by the record company. He checked for others, but there was only one copy. I wasn't going to pass up this opportunity, so I bought it. Has anyone else in Australia found an overseas version of tGH in a local store?

He has a similar sex appeal to that of Hutch and Jim Morrison. He did form a band not long after winning the competition, however the name of the band, and their one, less than successful single, escapes me. (Did I over p,u,n,c,u,a,t,e !!)Hugh does have the look, vibe and sex appeal of Hutchy in his hayday. The band also has other popsters from the 80's (ie: Vince and James Leigh fron Pseudo Echo. Remember the hairstyles? Arrgghh). Aussie 80's popsters are seemingly making a comeback. Sad but true. As for seeing them live, I've heard that they are quiet alright (if you like that sort of thing). Time will tell.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I too think that it's great that Q101 is promoting the show in August. Although I'm not a huge Q101 listener, they usually do a great job promoting shows, which is definitely something INXS needs. I also heard DLYH the other day on Q101 and was very excited about it actually being of the "new rock alternative". Although having a show at the World or Rosemont would be great for INXS, I think that having a show at such HUGE venue would be bad in several ways. I think that the smaller venues allow for a much closer feeling between the fans and the band. It lets the fans be up close to Michael and experience getting his water thrown on them (or odd vegetables for that matter). I think that this closeness is one of the aspects that makes INXS concerts so brilliant. You can actually *feel* their music and really get into it. So, to be at some enormous place like Rosemont makes you lose touch with the band. However, I don't really care where they play. INXS could play on 90-94 and I'd still show up. Also, I think that we should get a group going to the Chicago show. I'd be all up for that. The last concert I went by myself, which was awesome. And--to top it all off, I met them too! Anyway, I'd like to meet up before the show. If it's soemwhere like the Metro, there's soooo many places to meet beforehand. Let's set it up!

A word of caution -- it *might* be that Q101 is sponsoring a special Q101 concert, and INXS is but one of many acts slotted to perform. In that case, they probably won't be performing a full set. Well, this is the impression I had when I received the dates... After all, the band could be thinking that they were just there in April. But I certainly hope I'm wrong! :) IMPORTANT REMINDER: INXS will be on the radio live tonight on the Rockline program answering questions from fans and chatting with host Bob Coburn. -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- nkoth@iname.com NJ Med '00 -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net Date: Mon, 07 Jul 1997 20:38:24 To: INXS-list@iastate.edu From: Sue Subject: [INXS] Another Chat Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I found a posting in alt.music.inxs that ticketmaster was having an INXS chat on Wednesday, July 8 at 8:00 EDT.

So if you were only "thinking" of seeing the band on the upcoming US tour, get your tickets NOW! :) (It wouldn't hurt if you spread the word to friends and family as well!) Even though in my opinion, everyone should rush out and buy INXS concert tickets the moment they can, it is not surprising to me that sales are low. What reason is Mercury giving the public to go out and buy INXS concert tickets and albums? INXS did their job - they produced a fine album worthy of high sales. But, until this DLYH thing, things have been flat. The first single came out back in March. It is now July. The "Elegantly Wasted" single despite its greatness ran its course on the radio and TV I've seen and heard a long time ago. This was followed by a great big lag in the US. It was during this lag, that the West Coast tourdates were announced. Whose brilliant idea was that? Whose idea was it to have the lag in the first place? I'm in the NYC area and as far as I know, no station has been playing DLYH plus the stations around here stopped playing and talking about "EW" a long time ago. My excitement level for the album was really high back in March and April and still is, but I'm beginning to get extremely frustrated with these marketing decisions that I don't understand. INXS were hitting a hot streak in the US back in March and April. In my opinion, the hot streak would have continued without a problem - if there was a timely follow-up to the first single. "Everything" would have been perfect. What band sits on something so long until they make their next move? (when I use "band", I am not meaning to blame "INXS" for these decisions) I could understand it a little better if the band was number 1 in Billboard but the sad thing is that INXS isn't even in the Top 200 anymore. And right now, until I see DLHY making an impact, I don't even consider it a follow-up. Back in April INXS had the exposure, the enthusiasm from within and without, and the stage properly set to take the US and the upcoming summer by storm. If it wasn't for the "great big lag", I think those ticket sales and album sales would be right on par! There is nothing more I want than for INXS to get the success and credit that they deserve. I'm behind the band 110% and but am just getting a little discouraged. (And we can all show the band our support by joining the FAN CLUB) Until then, I'm still keeping the faith. Comments?

I hate to say it but I think that they had better promotion when they were with Atlantic Records. I think that the album would do a lot better if Mercury woke up and started releasing singles. I realize that a lot of people like to buy at least one single from a cd so that they can decide whether or not the cd is worth $13. I have to hand to VH-1 for making a good effort to promote the band. MTV just plain out sucks. The only thing they have done so far is host a chat with Kirk and Michael. MuchMusic, from what I read from Canadians on the list, is doing a pretty good job as well. I would have thought that tickets would have went pretty fast and venues would have sold out. INXS has the reputation of being an awesome live band. Rush has the same reputation. Even if people don't like Rush's newest album, they still go out and get tix for the show. I've been to two of theirs this tour and the venue is pretty full. Hopefully, the west coast fans can help out the INXS promotion shortage by handing out the flyers from Mary.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I got to ask questions to INXS on Rockline!!! I was so happy and I get a free copy of EW just for getting on. I asked them if they had thought about getting people from our list to do backup percussion and singing and if they planned on remastering the older albums. I don't think they completely understood what I was talking about because Michael said we already have backup singers and Andrew is pretty good at percussion. I don't think they answered my remasters question but then I was too busy paying attention to the phone and not my stereo. Oh well, Michael sounds just as sexy on the phone as he does when he sings and talks on the radio.

I thought this video (from the movie Face/Off) would be a really big deal for them. I was so happy for the band. I'm not blaming INXS either.

This is a definite possibility, but usually when Q101 sponsors a multi-act show, it is HEAVILY advertised. Also, they would probably have a venue by now (most likely the 25,000 capacity World Theater). There are many Q101 shows throughout the year that are just one headlining band.

Then Michael introduced Helena and in turn she introduced numerous models. So they regard Michael especially as one of their best customers. >Has anyone in Australia seen the band 'Vertigo'.

INXS, the Violent Femmes, and others(?) are the bands scheduled to perform. HOWEVER--get this--Q101 planned this whole thing without reserving a venue, and now they're having problems finding anywhere to have it! Everywhere they've tried is already reserved!

I just looked at ticketmaster.com and I could score seats in row 5 of section A at the Greek and seventh row seats in section B in San Diego. The Greek seats might be a little farther back than 5 rows due to a very small pit section but I would say no more than 10. The San Diego venue is at a great location. It is just in a park at the end of a penisula in Mission Bay. There is water on each side of the stage. There will probably be some boats in the bay sneaking a free show in.

From: DaGro1@aol.com Date: Wed, 9 Jul 1997 00:58:25 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] State of the Album Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi All - Although I'm the last person to defend Mercury these days, I thought I'd explain a little about what may have happened with this album. (For those of you who are new to the list, I used to work for Mercury and was laid off at the end of March). 1. Not releasing a commercial single - This course of action is fairly common in the US these days (there was an Entertainment Weekly article about this - I believe that someone posted it to the list). Singles are released for R&B, rap and pure pop songs, but not for much else, unless it looks like the song has a legitimate shot at a #1 on the chart (which is based on sales and airplay). Album sales generate more money for the label and for the band. Singles tend to lose money. Unless they are on sale, they cost too much for the consumer, and to put them on sale costs the label too much (when you see a sale, the label had paid money and given free goods to the store). The lack of a commercial single does not effect radio airplay in any significant manner according to the radio promo people to whom I have spoken. 2. Delay in releasing a second track to radio - What probably happened was that the deal to get DLYH into Face/Off was in the works and the label didn't want to take the chance that INXS tracks would overlap and cannibalize each other's airplay. Better to wait till the movie thing was decided. 3. Scheduling and announcement of tour dates - INXS sells more and is more popular outside of the US than inside. INXS is also signed out of Mercury's UK office. This would make Europe and other territories priorities for the band and the label. Therefore, the scheduling of tour dates may have been dictated by the other territories and would not necessarily have been exactly what the US label would have liked. 4. Lack of MTV support - Like it or not, INXS is now considered a VH-1 band. The demographics just work out that way. 5. Seeming lack of promotion in general - Mercury has been trying very hard to be profitable and to regain a good footing in the music biz. A couple of hits go a long way towards helping that. When a sure hit like Hanson rolls along, it makes sense to go with it and collect the hit. It was easy. Bands like INXS can get lost in the midst of that. Keep in mind that I offer none of these as excuses (as I might have, once), just possible explanations.

It's probably been posted before but here it is again. INXS Elegantly Wasted (Mercury). What with all those Paula Yates shenanigans, it's a wonder Michael Hutchence has found the time to make another record. Many might wish he hadn't. Though INXS still have the strut and attitude of louche young rockers, they're only marginally more credible these days than Wet Wet Wet. A shame, really, because their 10th album suggests that INXS are by no means a spent force. It has that big, breezy sound redolent of so many rock bands of a certain age, from the Rolling Stones to U2. Strong, driving tunes; a touch of bluesy, bottle-neck guitar; a decadent aura of crumpled Armani suits and shades - I imagine it would make nigh-on perfect listening if you were cruising through the desert in a red open-topped sports car with a bottle-blonde babe at your side. Just like the songs' author, probably.

Don't think they've played Providence since the Listen Like Thieves tour. (actually they did a show at URI too - Kick album) I was actually hoping they'd play Great Woods (instead of the Orpheum). That place is a bit on the small side (size), but from what I understand a lot of the venues they're playing are 2,000 seaters. Keep your eyes peeled for the sale date. One of the better sources I've found: Friday edition of the Boston Globe (Arts Section) features a column by Steve Morse called "Rock Notes" - he usually spills all the good news about tickets going on sale, interviews, news, etc. He's very accurate. A friend and I want to go see them, but who knows.

Kick and X were cool for their time, but I'm glad the boys went off on their musical exploration. In terms of popularity, well, I guess that determines who the fans are, huh? My friend and I were really into them from Shabooh and Listen Like Thieves. Then my friend saw the cover of Full Moon and was like "Oh no, they're grunge! I don't like them anymore!" Idiot. I've liked INXS for every single album, regardless of what was popular. Face it folks, INXS have been on a downslope (commercially speaking) ever since Kick. Yet that has not affected my love for them 1 iota. And I'm sure this is true for all (or most) of you. So, the fact that their popularity has dwindled is cool with me--that leaves the music for the true fans to appreciate. INXS' music should not be judged on what shirts or haircuts they have. Now onto the totally superficial: what the %&^%&^% is up with the new look?!! I was watching the Hard Rock Live & the VH1 rocks the Rockies shows. All I can say is : Whaaaaat?? Jet black straight hair for Mike? No, buddy. Stay natural. He looked much cooler in the "Welcome.." era (the scruffy 5 o'clock shadow) Cowboy suit for Tim? Just wrong... Jon. What is up with the blonde/non-combed hair? You look baaad. Which is doubly horriffic cuz he looked very suave/fly during the "Welcome.." days. I don't get it. Needless to say, the looks of a band do not determine its musical prowess, but this new look is just bad.

Not releasing a commercial single - I would tend to agree with Mercury on this one, especially for the fact that singles were released for FMDH and WTWYA and didn't necessarily do much for album sales. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to release singles worldwide and exclude the country with the most buying power as well as where the band needs the most exposure. Additionally, if you look at the current top 20 albums in the U.S., most of them had singles released. >2. Delay in releasing a second track to radio -... the label didn't want to take the chance that INXS tracks would overlap and cannibalize each other's airplay. This was a good decision, since it will hopefully help INXS ride on the coattails of a popular movie. The EW single got plently of airplay on stations with a higher age demographic. DLYH is now getting airplay on the "younger" stations as well. >3. Scheduling and announcement of tour dates - I thought the whole advantage of signing with Mercury was to have one international label. This has been mentioned time and time again. It doesn't seem right to concentrate touring and promotions where you are already more successful. I know my company (and I work for a really big one) tries to pour most of its efforts into making itself more visible and successful in areas where it wasn't in the past. This is the key to reversing sales declines and increasing profitablity. I have a major problem with this issue since part of the reason the INXS name has eroded in America is because they chose to embark on one poorly promoted small-venue tour after another. As a result, many people didn't even know they were touring, or alive for that matter. WTWYA was such a creative effort, it deserved a large and creative tour (and back then, it probably would have had a good chance of being successful...) >4. Lack of MTV support - Like it or not, INXS is now considered a VH-1 band. >The demographics just work out that way. If bands like Aersomith and Depeche Mode can still get a major push from MTV, then I see no reason why Mercury can't try and put more pressure on MTV to do the same for INXS. After all, it's usually MTV that has an influence on its viewing audience and not the opposite. Another example is Michael Jackson, who has recently had abysmal U.S. sales, yet MTV U.S. still dedicated an entire week of primetime programming to him upon the release of "History". >5. Seeming lack of promotion in general - I think this is more our perception, since we have high expectations from Mercury. Overall, I'm sure we can all find one fault or another with the record label, but the bottom line is that the music industry has been suffering overall for the last 3 years. If new releases from U2, REM, Live, Pearl Jam, etc. are barely selling a million copies each, then there's definitely a bigger problem than just INXS or Mercury. How else can you explain Spice Girls, Hansen and the new Motley Crue album being in the top 5 last week in the U.S.?

Did you know that the cover of the Aussie Dekadance tapes is actually an extreme close-up of one of the band members? In all there are six different covers - each featuring a different band member. I think I have an 'Andrew' cassette (the photo is in reverse). The close-ups were taken from the group photo on the cover of The Swing. If you're lucky enough to have an ultra-rare vinyl copy of Aussie Dekadance, you would know that all six cassette covers are featured, along with a short bio sleeve. Also, the version of Jackson varies slightly from that on the cassette. BTW, the vinyl EP was available only to radio stations. Oh yeah, I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but you can get the Jackson duet on Jenny Morris's best of CD ("The Story So Far", released in 1992). Later, Bruno A.

The best quote from Michael of the night was (IMO) : "On a tree of fruit, all fruit is different. It's not just apples" I was going to write the questions i asked, but i am sure there is a way to get a copy of it, and when there is, it will be posted...i know i want a copy!!!!!! The only downside was that it seemed there was only a total of 6 people who asked questions...where was everybody? oh, i can't wait to see to transcript...I am going to check to see if i can get it...kris From: JMussry@aol.com Date: Wed, 9 Jul 1997 21:24:01 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] Elegantly Jenny Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Jenny please fill us in even if it is (most probably) all a dream.

The depth of this girls INXS fandom is gloating about one night 10 years ago and still trying to get a response from people. INXS has moved on and so should you. Besides, it's not something I would be bragging about. If it was as sacred as you say you would keep for your own.

Martin" Subject: [INXS] INXS on Leno Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I have to say that I wasn't very impressed with the Leno show myself. For half of the song, all you could hear was Michael's voice only with a hint of music in the background. That sounded awful. The camera angles were horrifying. I didn't think that they looked great either but, in general, they haven't on this tour. I personally thought Tim looked far better than he does with the cowboy look, although he could lose the yellow sunglasses. Andrew and Garry looked very casual and LA-ish though. I know it's a sore subject around here but it sure would be nice if the guys went ala natural with the hair color, etc. and weren't looking so "fashionable." I guess a big part of it that my perception of what looks good is from an 80's perspective but that's where I'm at in life. (Yes, so old- hitting 29 this year.) I think that a lot INXS fans are there too and hate seeing INXS in 90's garb. I know musically it may not matter but I think it has a lot to do with how & where they get promoted and the fan base they hit with their current image. But, on the up side, I can't wait to see them tomorrow night in Santa Barbara!! I'm dying that I can't make it to the Greek show tonight. Hope to see everyone soon at the show!

Was that Bush I saw on Leno last night? It must have been some 90's grunge band. Oh wait it was INXS. What the hell was that performance??? That has to be the worst performance I have ever seen by this band and I have seen them live twice. This is a time when they cannot not afford any mistakes they are clinging onto dear life and they turn out this half assed effort in front of the world???? Have they given up? FIrst of all back to the image thing. You all must see what I am talking about by now. Geesh show a little pride in your selves. I know the band is struggling, but can't they get more than a 5 dollar budjet for their clothes. Before it was suttle, but this was the most blatant attempt to be 90's I have seen by them yet. Why are they killing themselves. Don't they have any pride in how they look. Hutch looked like he just got out of bed with another of his road flings. Tim grow up! The goatee thing was done 3 years ago. Regardless, your 40 not 20. You look like an idiot trying to be hip when if you just acted your age and classy you would be hip. Andrew, Your $1.00 value village outfit is bad enough, but you could tuck in your shirt so as not to show off your rappidly expanding belly. Kirk, cut your hair and try and wake up to the fact that it's not the 70's. Jon. Pristine Jon who had the most adorable, hunk of the month image, your hurting the worst. Get over your gay foo fighters blonde crap. You look like you also want to be 20. too bad your 35. Garry a classy guy in the wrong band. And the music. Didn't you see the crowd was waiting for a high energy dance song to rock the house. And they play DLYH which I think you all agree is ok at best. I know they were still trying to cash on the tie in to FO, but if that was the intent they could have at least had Leno mention the movie. Another stupid marketing mistake. Add it to the list. You have one last chance to play in front of the world, and save your careers. You should pull out all the stops and not even do anything that would be percieved as risky. But instead we the fans get slapped in the face and America yawns and goes and sells back the rest of their INXS CD's to used CD stores. You should all be frustrated and dissapointed. This band is tired. And I never thought I would say it, but I am tired of them too. Please let me know waht you all think.

I just caught the new INXS video on VH1's premiere video's (After throwing a heart attack over the new Savage Garden video) I taped both, and I like the new video. I had seen the end before and hadn't seen DLYH since - I like it. ;) KROQ!

I was ten feet away from them. I just stared at Michael with the biggest smile on my face. He looked at me about 5 times. There were only about 60 to 100 people there. Everybody was very into it. It was awesome. I am sooo excited right now. I took soo many pictures of him but in front of me were the tallest photographers I've ever seen so I had to shoot with the camera stretched out above me. I'm sure I got some good pictures though. I sang every word and danced the whole time. Couldn't get the silly grin off my face even if I wanted too. They looked great. They are so funny and the cutest personalities. They sang a total of 5 songs including the sound check song which was Searching. Then they started with Just a Man, which Michael did explain was about his life and probably many of ours too. 2nd was Never Tear Us Apart. 3rd was Searching and 4th was I Need You Tonight. I can't believe I didn't have a camcorder with me. They were in such great spirits. It was unplugged. Probably a once in a life time opportunity. Michael wasn't even wearing any shoes.

It may not have been the most stellar performance but consider a few facts. The guys have just recently come over from Europe (remember - jet lag) and have been doing heavy promotion. Maybe when Leno was taped they were just plain tired. Nobody knows the schedule they've been keeping better than us with everyone reporting in on radio appearances etc. Also the best of professionals have a bad day. I consider myself one of the best real estate paralegals but guess what - even I have an off day. Consider also that the band didn't sound great because the sound people on Leno screwed up. It is a tv studio not a concert hall. As for their looks. I do *hear* what alot of you are saying about image but am I the last person on this earth who doesn't give two flying f***s about what a band looks like. When I listen to music I don't watch a video tape in my mind about what the musician looks like. I don't stare at the cd cover & look at the musicians while songs are being played - I listen to the music. As far as this being their last hope to attract an audience - bulls***. INXS have a reputation as an incredible live band. Word of mouth, the consistant great reviews the shows are getting and hopefully now that they're in the states Mercury may add a little more promotion their way. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue Date: Fri, 11 Jul 1997 19:31:24 -0400 From: Neil Kothari To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Leno Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Sue wrote: > As for their looks.

Of course I agree 100% with you Sue, but you must grant the following: INXS have very deliberately used sex and image to sell records, and even now, what they look like, how Michael acts, etc. are all things that are important to the band. It's one thing to dismiss image when the band has never cared for it, but when the band has actively tried to cultivate a certain type of image in the past, you've got to start to wonder... -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- nkoth@iname.com NJ Med '00 -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html From: DaGro1@aol.com Date: Fri, 11 Jul 1997 20:00:17 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] Leno performance Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi All - Was anyone else as disappointed with this as I was?

I kept waiting for the song to kick in and it never really happened. They should've gone to the full instrumentation right after the first verse...

I must admit that it's a bit saddening to hear the negative reviews from this list. It must mean that it had to have been pretty bad! I thought that this year was going to be a perfect time for an INXS "comeback", but the band seems to have a tendency to make the wrong moves at the wrong times or just not capitalize on certain opportunities (like last night). Now don't get me wrong, I know a Leno performance doesn't make or break a group (certainly not one that's been around for 20 yrs.), but they're not on MTV a whole hell of a lot and this was a perfect opportunity for them to shine and show that they're so deserving of the respect that we know and they feel they should get. Talk about a run on sentence. I'm still gonna love the group regardless of their popularity, but it's sad to see them blow an opportunity to show off a strength (performing live).

I got to thinking about the performance again. Why did Jon just stand up during the first part of the song? I realize that the first half of the song was programmed on the EW album but it looks goofy when he just stood there. They could have cut off the programming and let him do some hi-hat crunches with the foot pedal or let him do something with a tambourine. Dana---I remember those underalls commercials.

I guess we can make excuses and nitpick this or that, but I think the big thing that did it was the fact that the instruments were turned down so low. The only way I could even hear Tim's guitar or Gary's bass was if I concentrated really hard and even then I could BARELY hear it. Jon's drums sounded like they weren't even hooked up to any mikes. And, or course, Hutch's singing was a little off, a fact made all the more apparent by the low volume of the instruments (ironically, the back up singers may have saved it from being a total unmitigated catastrophe). Whether this is the band's fault or the fault of Leno's people I don't know. But if the instruments were mixed properly I'm pretty positive it would've been a much better performance and Michael's singing would have "covered". Oh, and, uh, the way they looked didn't help matters much, either. Let's face, people, image counts for a lot. People say that it's the music, the substance, that matters, but let me tell you, image can be the vehicle for substance. But all that aside we all feel a bit let down, and some members may feel a bit disillusioned, namely Philip. As for Philip, his being tired of them has been something that's been a LONG time coming and WAY overdue. Maybe it's time for him to let it go and find a new sensation (no pun intended) to believe in. But for the rest of us we just have to suck it in and move on. Leno wasn't their brightest moment, but it won't be their last moment, either.

Of course you're correct about them cultivating this image in the past but aren't we always saying on this list that the band has moved on from what they were doing in the 80's. Doesn't it make sense then if they've moved on musically they have also moved on in image (or lack thereof). And yes Dana, I do remember underalls :) P.S. Thank heavens for email filters.

This is my first mail to the group. I am from Sydney Australia, the home of the guys from INXS, and I miss them heaps. Its been ages since they toured here, and hearing you guys from US talking about their tour makes the wait even longer. Oh well, maybe in January or so they'll be here! I have been reading the mail on the Leno show. Well, I'd probably support the jetlag theory that some of you have put forward, they must have a hell of a schedule, so let's GIVE THEM A BREAK... Thanks to Karen aka INXSBABE for the links, the concert video of Suicide Blonde from the Irving Plaza is great. A little on myself. I am a writer and am currently undertaking the writing of a biography for INXS. I have been researching them for about the last five years, and have been a fan since about 1983. I have a lot of information and hopefully when they are here next I'll have the chance to speak with them. I spoke with Chris Murphy about two years ago, but now he is gone I am virtually back to square one. There are a couple of requests I have. If any one could assist me it would be GREATLY appreciated. I am after any articles, stories relating to them aswell as early tour dates, pre 1985. I have all tour dates since then, but am after dates relating to the Swing Tour and their tours for Shabooh Shoobah, and their early albums, ie: The Tour With No Name, etc etc... Also if anyone has photographs which I might be able to put into the book I would love to hear from you. I can arrange the smaller details personally with you. If anyone has a good idea for the title, requests will be taken. I have some ideas, ie: "Faith In Each Other" and "INXS, the people, places and successes..." Stuff like that. :) On a lighter note I think the new album is sensational and they deserve all the credit they can pull their way. I KNOW their shows and tour will be great, coming from the reviews of their South African Tour. Anyway guys, will love to hear from you! Any questions or things I can help any of you with here in Australia, let me know!

You know the crowd is very mature when the stage had no barricade. It only took Michael until the start of the second song (New Sensation) to be in the fifth row of seats. He must of ventured into the crowd at least 5 times. One time as far as the 25th row. Once again he proved that he just love being up on stage with all his talking with the crowd between songs.

So they messed around for a while and started it all over. The two songs I wished they played was "Everything" because I saw them lip sing it 50 times and "The Stairs" it is just so awesome live. If I had to pick between the Mayan or the Greek, I would have to choose the Mayan just due to it being a small place and the crowd was so incredible that night. I think the stage set up was like how it was describe in Europe. Well due to quarter close at work I am missing them right now in Santa Barbara but I will see them tomorrow in SD. See you all there.

It didn't seem like the energy was there, the sound mixing was awful, etc. A lot of people in rec.music.rem had many of the same complaints I heard here about the Leno performance. Strange thing is, that later, they released the performance on a single and on the single, the mixing was great, it sounded really energetic, and when I play it back I can't help but think to myself: How could I say that this performance was so bad? I also got to see a tape of when they did the re-run of the same episode of SNL. Since they had about three months inbetween, they had time to go in and remix the tape for re-airing. The rerun performance sounded a LOT better that the live 'original' broadcast. What a lot of it really boils down to is that when a show is taped the same day it airs, there isn't a lot of time for the studio to make the mixing changes and polishing that is necessary to make a performance sound good, espically when you consider they have to meet a satellite uplink time that is usually close to an hour before broadcast. Also, the studio is more concerned about cutting and splicing the rest of the show together than about the sound quality of a four minute song. Moral of the story is: Live or near live television performances inherently have quality problems. Deal with it.

Think about what we are comparing it to--- other INXS performances. They've set a rather high standard for themselves. We all know that they didn't get the reputation as "best live band on the planet" for nothing. So they were off on one song one evening.

I for one am extremely delighted that after all these years of travelling and performing all over the world, they are still so into doing it. As for their look, I agree with Sue, who cares. I prefer Jon's natural color to the blond, and I don't think Mike's looks its best as is, but thats not my decision, its theirs. And I'm certainly not going to feel any different about them or like the band less because of it. If you're a true fan, you're there for the music.

This was my first time seeing INXS. I have liked them for about seven or eight years, but couldn't get my schedule to fit their tour dates. Boy have I been missing out! They opened with EW and closed with Suicide Blond. They came on stage about 9:00, and finished about 11:00. I couldn't remember the exact times. I didn't write down the set list either. Memorable moment: During the second song (New Sensation) Michael came off the stage and walked around in the crowd. Everyone was cool about it, and didn't swarm him. Memorable moment: Devil Inside: No guitar. In the middle of the song it went out. Michael said, "What the fuck? ... Good four string, bad amplifier." He talked to the crowd about how they like LA and how happy they are to be back in the states again. He said something about "going traditional" and got everyone to clap with their hands over their heads. Eventually the lab coat wearing guitar/amp techs got it all working again and they started the song all over. Memerable moment: All throughout the show Michael was walking around throwing water on everyone down front. One fan handed him a Cuban cigar, he thanked him for it. Only gripe (there has to be one): Tiny selection of merchandise. One black shirt, one grey shirt, two white shirts, and one hat. None of the shirts had the tour dates on them, and only said "Elegantly Wasted" with a picture of the band. U2 connection?: What's up with all the U2 (PopMart) shirts that people had on? I swear I saw about 15 people with U2 shirts on (Including mine). I think I saw three or four (non-Elegantly Wasted) INXS shirts. Crowd: Looked sold out, but last I heard it still had tickets available. Very, Very into the older songs and EW. Not near as many people singing along with the new songs. Dumbass: Me. For missing all but "Need You Tonight" on KROQ's "Flashback Lunch with INXS" this afternoon. Drugs: Two bongs within 10 feet of me, countless joints. I swear I have never smelled as much pot as I did tonight. (I've seen U2 six times, Depeche Mode four times, Erasure once, Peter Gabriel Once, The Cure three times, David Bowie and NIN (together) once, the last two KROQ Weenie Roasts, a few other concerts, and even the Beastie Boys, and NEVER smelled as much pot.) Who knew INXS fans wanted so much to get Herbally Wasted? oio rating scale: 8/10 (I've only seen two 10/10 concerts). Not much room for improvement, but a longer set list would be a good start, and maybe the backup singers could have been heard more prominantly. Certainly a wonderful show, and I would have paid twice as much to see it-well worth the money. When are they coming back to LA!?! I will now begin withdrawl symptoms.

Is anyone else on the digest going so we can meet up? I look forward to the show even though I was 2nd in line, yet got row 15 seats. URGH!! Guess I'm spoiled because I had row 1 for the Dirty Honeymoon tour. Sold out really fast, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones going. If a second show gets added, will someone let me know. Sunrise only holds about 2000 people tops--hence the reason it sold out so fast. Maybe an opportunity for a 2nd show here. Neil, please keep us advised. Hope you all are doing well. Have a GREAT day.

Anyway, like I said, I loved Jon's tanned skin, blue eyes, and body. I thought Michael was really cute too. Their appearance plus the fact that they didn't play anywhere close to me made me buy the videotapes. If one thinks about it, appearance counts for a lot in everyday life. A manager will hire a well-groomed, well-dressed person before they will hire a sloppy looking person even if both have the same qualifications. But, here's the thing: the MUSIC is the most important thing about INXS. I've been playing percussion since Sept 86. I listen for rhythm and what types of percussion instruments are used in the songs. The group as a whole plays really well together. If you just listen to Jon and Garry, the tempo keepers, they have a solid groove going. This groove thing can especially be heard in "Stay Young."

Sure it makes sense, but I often stop and wonder if the band really has decided to move on from the whole "image" thing. It's great to say "yeah, we moved on from all that 80s stuff" now that they're not quite as popular, but is that merely an act to help explain the loss in popularity and status? Or am I merely in a cynical mood? I would agree that their music has changed, and yes, perhaps even their raison d'etre has as well, but surely one must wonder at times... > P.S.

It was made in 1992 and featured three videos from WtWYA: Heaven Sent, Not Enough Time, and Baby Don't Cry. The whole point of the game is to edit the videos for each by mixing in different video images. Also featured were some really poor actors who are hanging out in a bar with a pool table and they judge each video you edit. Not a high quality product.

What a weekend of great INXS music. I read the comments posted on the usenet, so I'll try to fill in areas that were not touched on already. Before the show I met up with Mary Woods and another fan to pass out flyers. After about two hours of waiting we finally got our passes and headed down to a "meet & greet." Kirk, Tim, Gary and Michael mixed with the crowd, posed for pix and signed autographs. As usual they were great. At one point, Tim asked me if we had met before. I figured I probably look like someone he knows, but I did mention that I had spoken to him briefly at the filming of the "Everything" video. The guys left and I went to pass out some flyers then made my way to my seat. The band came on at 8:45 opening with Elegantly Wasted. They went through a great mix of old and new (to the best of my recollection, and definately not in order)...New Sensation, Taste It, Heaven Sent, Bitter Tears, Never Tear Us Apart, Time, Listen Like Thieves, What You Need, Girl On Fire, Need You Tonight, Mediate, Kick, I'm Just a Man, Searching, Show Me, Kiss The Dirt, Disappear, Time and Devil Inside. The encore consisted of, in order this time, Don't Lose Your Head, Mystify, Don't Change, Suicide Blonde. They played until 10:30. About four or five songs into the concert, Michael commented that the pit area looked like a bunch of V.I.P.s with alot of empty space. He told the crowd to move forward to make it like a "real concert." My seats were good, but not great, so I made a bee-line forward and ended up front and center. The guys put on a great show. It was obvious they were having a good time. Michael came into the crowd numerous times and splashed water on us and the other members of the band. He took off his shoes at about the second song and performed barefoot for the rest of the show. (His shirt eventually came off later.) The guys were dressed in outfits similar to the Jay Leno performance. After the encore, I made my way to find the after show party. (Kirk had mentioned to me at teh Mark & Brian show that they were definately going to hang out at the Greek for a while after the show.) I met up with the other fan that was distributing flyers and even though we didn't have the right credentials, we eventually made our way backstage (very long story). The group consisted of the band, family members (Michael's mom, sister, brother-in-law) management and promotion personnel. In addition, Johnny Depp and Tom Arnold hung around for a while. The funniest moment of the evening for me came when I ran into Tim backstage after the show. He remembered me again and said that he had seen me down front in the audience. I think I've been hanging around these guys too much lately. I hope they don't get to thinking I'm a groupie. Next it was on to Santa Barbara. INXS came on early (8:15) because of the noise curfew of 10:00. The set list was the same, but the guys didn't seem to have the same energy as the night before. Michael mentioned that they were hung over from the night before. (I guess they kept partying long after I left.) The one major highlight of the show was when Michael came into the crowd about 3/4 into the first set. He climbed up the rock partitions that separate the sections and made his way about half way up into the audience. The crowd went nuts! (I'm sure the event staff were thrilled.) I would say that all in all the shows were fantastic. They seem really happy to be performing in front of appreciative fans. The fans in L.A. were on their feet the whole time while the S.B. crowd was more mellow. (Actually, the S.B. fans were more intoxicated!) My only complaints would be that the pacing of the shows was very fast, the set design was ho-hum and the merchandising for sale wasn't good. However, the performance was great and I would advise any INXS fan to take the opportunity to see this tour. (Especially since they're playing small venues.) I'll be seeing them again later this year for sure!!!

Elegantly Wasted [Michael took his jacket off either after this song or New Sensation this song] Taste It Time I'm Just A Man Heaven Sent [He walked to the center aisle and back to the stage.] [He sang parts of the "I Feel Good" song by James Brown after Heaven Sent.] Show Me Searching [He started smoking cigarettes.] Disappear [He took off his shoes and showed us his painted toenails.] Never Tear Us Apart Kiss The Dirt Need You Tonight Mediate [He took his shirt off.] Bitter Tears [He again went to the center aisle and sang where the controls were.] Girl On Fire Kick Devil Inside What You Need (Encore) Don't Lose Your Head Mystify Don't Change Suicide Blonde I think it was before the encore when he pulled his pants down a little and showed his underwear (front) as I was writing down the song titles. He had another shirt on when they came back for the encore and then it was off by the end of DLYH, I think. The concert was really fun, with lots of enthusiasm from the audience. Michael was also making jokes and giving "speeches". It was so cool! The only thing I wished for is seeing the band backstage. I saw some people with backstage passes, and I was so jealous. Again, HOW DO PEOPLE GET BACKSTAGE PASSES? The only thing that saved me is thinking about how easy it is to get to meet DEBORAH GIBSON and get her autographs...

I know the tickets would have been great and, obviously, the show turned out the same. But, I will get to the see them at both of the SF shows, so I guess that should make up for it.

Do you really think that someone with the ability and/or authority to cease the problem is going to read your messages and say, "Oh, well, I wasn't going to do anything about those messages, but now that someone has pointed out how annoying they are, maybe I'll do something about it"? For what it's worth, I sent in a forged unsubscribe request from Simon's address about half an hour ago, which I imagine several other people have already done. I also imagine that several people have sent email to Jason asking him to manually unsubscribe Simon's old address. In the meantime, just delete the extraneous messages and don't contribute to the noise by pointing out how annoying the problem is.

Good luck! Although I must add that I've never cared for Michael's new greasy black hair job, or Jon's scraggly bleach blonde look, or the fact that Michael wears the same damn shirt everywhere he goes. I'm sure we can chalk it up to bad sound mixing and major jet lag. It probably didn't help that they picked a song that's composed mostly of electronic drums. But I do have one big problem: Michael has had an increasing problem remembering lyrics lately. Why??? Is it all the alcohol and drugs over the years? Or does he find the lyrics as meaningless as the critics do? I have a tape from the Santa Monica show in 93, along with the Aspen VH-1 concert, the Rosie O'Donnell show and now the Tonight Show. He forgot the lyrics to songs in every performance. The Santa Monica show was the worst in that respect: he sang the wrong lyrics in about 5 or 6 songs. Maybe I'm being picky, but he should at least remember the words to his own music!!!! (Especially if he wrote them!) It makes it very difficult to sing along...And DON'T make excuses for him. Michael doesn't exactly have a great deal of complex data to memorize in his life.

No, they usually can't since Ticketmaster's contracts are directly with the venues themselves. Therefore, Ticketmaster assigns the seating, adds on any parking charges (if any), etc. on the venue's behalf. And of course, that doesn't include the scary 25% "screw the average fan" surcharge.

He talk way more than usual to the crowd which is a lot more than the normal lead singer to begin with. He must have listened to James Brown before the show because he kept singing "I Feel Good" between songs. Between "Need You Tonight" and "Mediate", he didn't start singing for at least 30 seconds. I can't remember what he was doing but just rambling on. The two songs in the sound/light booth was great for me. I was 5 fives in front of it and the crowd around it was fill with some beautiful Southern California women. I don't think Michael wanted to leave with his surroundings. Michael also mention at least 3 times for the crowd to go buy the album. Overall, of course it was an outstanding show. I have now been fortunate to see them 7 times since 89 and just hope they stick around a few more years. I hope that wasn't my last.

I brought the whole Mega CD console for the sole purpose of getting this game.. also the game originally cost $139 but now stores like Target & K-Mart have it for $14! I always hoped they would bring out a add-on disc, because editing the same 3 songs does get a bit boring, so I was hoping a few years back they would have an extra 3 songs from FMDH to edit (would of being good to edit 'the Gift' video). I wish it was reissued on PC with better quality graphics. But the games good for the first couple of months, but like I said because of only 3 songs it loses it's appeal quickly, plus I remember when I first got it, it was also annoying having friend's asking why isn't 'Taste It' included, (or for that matter Beatiful Girl.) On a similar note I'll give you my review of the INXS 'enhanced cd' in the next few days. Matthew.

Although INXS songs of the same era, i.e Don't Change, Original Sin, I send a Message, etc are some of the greatest INXS hit's ever, Dancing on the Jetty sure is one of the greatest of the 'lesser known' INXS songs.

The 4th video is supposedly Searching, to be filmed in SF? There were 6 pieces of merch: $25 each at the Greek, $23 in SB. A gray t-shirt, a black t-shirt, a white t-shirt, a hat, 2 "baby" shirts- 1 white, 1 black. For years bands refused to play live on tv because tv shows weren't broadcast in stereo and tvs didn't have good quality speakers - hence frequently lipsynched performances. Although most channels now broadcast in stereo, few bands on talk shows sound good at all. I believe it was during the Mark & Brian interview that Michael was asked about how cold it was on the Letterman set - he replied that guitars had to be tuned outside and brought in just before a performance otherwise the tuning went all wonky (my words). Most sets are very cold, so the broadcast music quality is a real crap shoot (<--getting ready for Vegas ;-)) It was nice to meet all the listers at the Greek & SB. I'll see some of you again in LV and maybe SF. INXS so totally rock!

He also repeated the same verses or just plain sang the wrong words on "All Around", "Don't Change", "Bitter Tears", "I Send a Message" and "The Gift".

This may be crude --- but isn't it their job to know the lyrics, chords and melodies. Would we put up with this if Anderw forgot half the riff to "What You Need"? I think not. One thing I really respect about performance artists in general is that they really don't get to bring an eraser to work. They are on the edge to be right at the moment of the performance. They can't really shoot for a 90% score, it must be 100% Again is a 90% of Kiss the Dirt an acceptable score. I would say no.

Note that Shabooh Shabah came out in 1985. Yeah, I know that SS came out in 1982, and the author (Craig Mtahieson) should know that INXS also started out with a 'DIY punk ethic'.

I'll try not to make this too long. Well my ultimate experience with the guys from INXS would be to sit down and have a few beers with them. I guess this is how my dream came about. Anyway, I found myself in this large underground cave. I was there alone and there were about ten other people sitting on chairs in front of the back of the cave (were all the instruments were set up). We were waiting for INXS to play. But there was another room in this cave - the backstage part. INXS were getting ready and Lenny Kravitz was the support act. While Lenny was playing, Tim Farriss with his long curly brown hair (eighties style) came out in this blue jump suit, sat down at a table and had beers with me. Just before they went on Hutch and Kirk came out and had a chat too. So, I woke up a pretty darn happy. Hope that wasn't too exciting for ya! Anyone else had any dreams..

I've been listening to them for a little over ten years, and this is the first time i've been able to see them in concert. I have one word for you: AWESOME!!!!!!!! It was by far the best concert that i've been to, and was well worth the $45.00. I don't think i have ever seen anyone come down off stage as much as Michael did during the concert to get closer to the fans. It was great. I work at NBC, and just two days before the concert they played on the tonight show. If i would have known that, i could have ran over to the studio and met them. so i am a little peeved about that, but the concert more than made up for it. by the way great page.

Those are just the ones I've taped over the years.

But, over the last few years they've only appeared on the ARIA's (Australian record industry awards) where they played the world premier of 'Searching' --> I thought it was great, but some critics called it boring. They've also had a few interviews on 'Hey Hey it's Saturday' with Molly Meldrum (Aussie rock guru). And the did appear on 'A Current Affair' a news/current affairs show that had a whole segment of the show devoted to interviewing Tim, Kirk and Michael (if I remember correctly).

I have also been listening to them for a long time, and I saw them live for the first time in June this year on their South African tour. It WAS awesome and I too haven't seen anything like that before. Everyone saying that Michael rambles on and talks a lot of crap during the show, yea he did it over here too, but I kinda liked that. I couldn't hear half the things he said, but it made the audience feel more connected to them. He must have thrown millions of bottles of water into the audience, and even a few cigarette butts, but the crowd was going wild for that. He went down to the fans quite often, and even did a full on kiss on one of the girls. Rumours have it that it was that Rorich girl he kissed in front of everyone. He didn't look too wasted, but he did fall off the speaker in an attempt to jump/sit on it. And like someone else said, he was constantly reminding the audience to buy that &*^%*#@ album - but in a joke. He was also breaking into hysterical little laughs every once in a while - and nobody knew why he was laughing, but that was part of what made the show so great. Shoot me, but I can't criticize anything about the show or their appearance. It was all just so cool. Question. I heard that they shot one of the new video's in South Africa? Is this true, or do I just have the cat by the wrong end? BTW, they get a lot of airplay over here, and did a TV interview too. I envy everyone in the US for being able to be part of all the action, and to get together before shows. I wish I could have seen them 6 or 7 times like most of you. They must be the greatest live act in the world. O.K. I'm done now. Sorry for the long post.

INXS haven't been on Oz TV very much at all in the nineties. During the eighties, of course, they were very common on TV. But, over the last few years they've only appeared on the ARIA's (Australian record industry awards) where they played the world premier of 'Searching' --> I thought it was great, but some critics called it boring. They've also had a few interviews on 'Hey Hey it's Saturday' with Molly Meldrum (Aussie rock guru). And the did appear on 'A Current Affair' a news/current affairs show that had a whole segment of the show devoted to interviewing Tim, Kirk and Michael (if I remember correctly). This was at the start of '97 and basically called Elegantly Wasted INXS' comeback album.

The tall poppy syndrome happens a lot in Australia, unfortunately. Even to the likes of great Australian sports personalities such as Greg Norman. Anyway, the tall poppy syndrome is just an expression used to describe when some one or some group get very popular or have large success, the media and public start bagging them, and criticising everything they do. I don't know why, but maybe its because the expect the continued astounding success of the parties involved. So in the case of INXS, they've have already got huge, so let's start bagging them and give someone else a go. Sounds stupid doesn't it?? It happens a lot in Australia, perhaps we can't handle the fact that INXS spend so little time promoting relations with their Australian audience. I don't know.

During the eighties, of course, they were very common on TV. But, over the last few years they've only appeared on the ARIA's (Australian record industry awards) where they played the world premier of 'Searching' --> I thought it was great, but some critics called it boring. They've also had a few interviews on 'Hey Hey it's Saturday' with Molly Meldrum (Aussie rock guru). And the did appear on 'A Current Affair' a news/current affairs show that had a whole segment of the show devoted to interviewing Tim, Kirk and Michael (if I remember correctly). This was at the start of '97 and basically called Elegantly Wasted INXS' comeback album. Any others Aussies remember any TV interviews etc. Cheers TC They also appeared on Countdown back in the 80's ,and if you have pay tv (Foxtel or Galaxy)you will see them on TV1 on August 5th at 8.20pm from there Countdown performance. And also don't forget that 'Live Baby Live' is also on pay tv on July 31st on Channel V at 10pm.

Hi! It debuted last wednesday here in Brazil, and I have one single word to describe it: GREAT! It is a different video, looks like a live show with the crowd singing with the band in the words Laugh, Cry, All Alone, etc. and in the end (the part Oh, yeah ahh!) a vocal solo with Mike and people. The band looks happy with it. The beginning reminds Baby Don't Cry with the band going down on the stairs. I hope that it "Shine like it does" here as in Argentina, where is #18.

Thanks! M Hi all, I'm still alive and extremely busy. Once the tour is over next week I'll be able to pull together the flyer distribution list for the second leg, but I would suggest you buy a ticket to the shows you plan to go to (those of you who have offered to distribute flyers). It will just help the cause, know what I mean? So far, everyone I've had on my list has gotten to meet the band but it has been difficult getting my list straightened out with the person doing the tickets/passes (did I say clueless??), so there's been some hairy times at the will call window. I don't know how the Vegas show turned out last night and if the SF, SLC and Denver shows will pull together. The band is in top form and Michael was completely wild in San Diego and Phoenix. Loving it! Thanks to all who offer to help and keep it coming! Mary PS Chicago show was announced today. Something about a Q101 benefit concert for some charity, over 21, drinks included, $25 weenie roast with Violent Femmes at a University on southside. I hear INXS isn't even headlining!

(Long Message... Cynical Mood..) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi.. Just wanted to ramble on to some people (who'd care - as if I care - I told everyone who came in contact with me - though people were calling me left and right..) about the Greek Theatre.. Sorry I didn't post this at a more appropriate time, I don't know where my head has been the last couple of days. Okay. Let's go simple - negatives of it: 1.) We find the place quite easily - of course, two hours of sitting in the car listening to "What You Need" REPEATEDLY at full volume wasn't thrills and chills, but I guess the drive was decent. Stacked parking. We must've been the ONLY car in that WHOLE PLACE that gets a tree RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. 2.) I felt like a COMPLETE dumb-ass seeing as I was the ONLY one under twenty there (Well, that I saw..) and I felt REALLY out of place... 3.) My mother and I are sitting there, there's no one in front of us for the entire bit of the Cunninghams and right up until the band came on stage. And then, this seven foot tall guy and his four foot tall girlfriend came and sat down in front of us. And the guy was in front of me. I made my mother switch seats with me. 4.) There was this woman, I swear, who slept through the WHOLE CONCERT sitting next to me - it was so odd... she woke up during the encore, however... 5.)The horribly drunk fans afterward - kind of frightening to think that 1,000 drunk (I'm sure there were more) were going to get on the freeway. But, enough of that. The plusses - 1.) It was my first concert (I always told myself I was gonna hold out til Duran Duran toured - couldn't pass this up.) And it rocked. 2.) I could see PERFECTLY! We had a great view. 3.) The played Show Me (Cherry Baby) which nearly knocked me out of my seat - I never expected them to play that - I love it! 4.) Michael was ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL. I do NOT have a raging sense of humor and rarely laugh out loud - but he was extremely funny. ;) 5.) It was really great. What else can I say.. ;) My mother has renewed her faith in INXS (She liked What You Need and bought Listen Like Theives but "All the rest was crap.") - and after this concert she promptly raided my CD collection and has been RAVING about Searching and Elegantly Wasted and Never Tear Us Apart, Dissapear, etc. And my video collection as well... I guess it's pretty cool to have an adult to converse with about matters that happened with my favorite bands when I was what ; like, single-digit? Oh well. ;) What can I say - I'm older for my time...

Anyway, when I got back to my appartment I turned on MTV and M2 was on. About the 3rd track on was DLYH. This really cheered me up. Thats what INXS (and music) is all about. (Which was a good job as I still had to pack to go back to Europe - although I was going to be here for the NY shows in Sep. I may now miss them - Boo Hoo!) First impression - Thought the vid was quite good. Good enough to deserve more airtime than it's getting. Effects not amazing - no where near as good as The Gift, some pretty simple wipes but also a few quick shots of band members faces mixing with each other & travolta/cages. Some nice links between INXS in aircraft hanger and the film footage. I do hope this gets released and gets some decent promo over in the UK. Cheers, Jon.

Sorry to all of you who are sick of hearing about Chicago, but we were the only city without an announced venue. Also, the Q101 radio promotion is a HUGE one. They are the #1 rock station in Chicago (yes, bigger than WXRT) so this is MAJOR exposure for the band. I just wanted to give the official data per the Q101 announcement: When: Friday August 22nd. Where: Maxwell Street Market next to the Univ of Illinois - Chicago campus. Prices: $25/ ticket on sale at Ticketmaster at noon tomorrow (July 19). Opening bands: Violent Femmes, OMC, Meredith Brooks, and Marathon 2. Ticket price covers unlimited beverages (including beer). The show is sponsored by Coca-Cola. Start time: 4PM The announcement came last night so there wasn't enough time to place ads in the weekend sections of the major newspapers. I did notice that there are no popular acts going on sale at the same time, so lines at Ticketmaster locations shouldn't be too long. Mary mentioned that INXS might not be the headlining band. This is incorrect!!!! The radio ad spot (which is a pretty cool one, I think) clearly states at the very beginning: "Starring INXS"!!!!! Can't wait to see you all there!

The only way to get a virus through e-mail, is if the e-mail comes with an attachment. But in that way you are not getting the virus though e-mail, you are getting the virus from the ATTACHMENT. Which is the same as getting it from another document. Don't worry and buy a virus scan.

But having administered a network and having been responsible for anti-virus protection before, I know that simply opening an e-mail message cannot unleash a virus on your computer. As for any executable files that may come as attachments, that may be a different story. I wouldn't worry about this "virus," and to clarify it I would contact AOL by phone to get an official statement. And it's always a good idea to update your virus fingerprints monthly, or as often as your vendor offers them.

First off, just a suggestion Moe -- instead of sending 5 emails with one line in each, why not bunch them altogether and save bandwidth? :) As for your question, there are email addresses for some of them, but I'm sure they would rather them not be revealed. As for Tim's email address that was given, that's a fake one, and not real.

First off, mail filters -- you need to be using a normal email program like Eudora Pro or Netscape Communicator, etc. I doubt aol (sorry aol'ers) have a filtering program. For example, I use Netscape 4.01, and simply typed in that all emails received from this bogus email address should be sent straight to my trash... No complaining on my end! As for the SOTW, I have been inspired to start listening to The Swing (what a classic album) again. It's been almost a year since I last put this fantastic LP on... Anyway, I was thinking, "All The Voices" would be a great soundtrack song (granted, we already know its connection with Strikebound), but I mean on a new soundtrack. Rather than always having to come up with new stuff for soundtracks, the band ought to consider diving into its vast back catalogue for hidden gems like this one that would otherwise never be heard by the average joe. I don't know how it would all work being they're no longer with Atlantic, but I thought I'd throw it out anyways. -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- nkoth@iname.com NJ Med '00 -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html Date: Wed, 16 Jul 1997 08:42:39 -0400 From: Neil Kothari To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] For Sale: INXS: "Somethin' Xtra" Wembley 1991, FM.

Or, if you think they are > trying to cultivate an image, which do you think it is? Well, it can be looked at two ways. On the one hand, the band seems to be eschewing its over-the-top 80s heyday as being part of their past now. On the other hand, having videos like "Elegantly Wasted" and artwork such as presented on the new work show the band to still very much care about their own image. In addition, reports from the California concert-goers is that Michael flirts with the crowd, takes his shirt off every 5 minutes (oh joy), etc. The man is nearing 40, but is still trying to perpetuate an image of a virile sexgod. Now I'll agree to the death that it's the *music* that matters, but what should we make of all the side distractions? If a band like, say, Radiohead, was to suddenly feature Thom stripping off and cavorting around, the image and perception we have of them as serious, thoughtful rockers would be shattered. So what is INXS trying to put forth as their own image? I'm sure I'm not really making sense, and am probably not really answering your question either, but I've just come from a 14 hour work day, and I'm quite tired (heh... and this is supposed to be my summer *vacation*?) -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- nkoth@iname.com NJ Med '00 -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html From: "toadie" To: Subject: Re: [INXS] 2nd Leg Tour Dates Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 19:18:16 -0000 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Tickets have already gone sale for the Cleveland show as well.
