People on this list know that I have been one of FMDH's strongest defenders.

Then I remembered how many of my friends had always thought the words were "Don't Change the Earth." Oh well I figured. The next thing I know, the song ends and the DJ comes on and says, "That was INXS with 'Don't Change the Earth." Needless to say I had to call up and straighten her out. -Nick John A.

I've already put a word in for She Is Rising.

First of all, I think IJAM is a solid single selection (as I've stated in a few previous postings). It's not incredible or groundbreaking, but certainly a good song and one of the better ones off of this not overly impressive album. EW's a decent album, but not in my top 5 INXS albums of all time. I thought Searching was great when I heard it on the VH1 concert, but was disappointed in the vocals on the album version. DLYH is certainly catchy, but very far from original. My dad thought it was the Rolling Stones when he first heard DLYH (and I had to agree that it sounded a lot like a Stones song). I don't think there's anything particularly special about Everything or Show Me. The last 4 songs are very good (especially WATT), and EW has such a cool beat that it's hard not to like (the kind of song you blast on your system). Last AND least, Girl on Fire. This is a song that INXS could write and record in less than an hour, and probably did. "I just landed a girl on fire...Girl on Fire Baby Burn Burn Burn?" I love INXS, but come on! This song was a sorry attempt to be catchy, and there's a fine line between being catchy and corny. So there you have it, Dennis' opinions (as if anyone really cares!). Girl on Fire fans, feel free to flame! - Alliteration and a pun to boot! =] Sincerely, Dennis From: "Ben Webb" To: Subject: Re: [INXS] where can I find...

INXS release their third single from their 'Elegantly Wasted' LP. The original version is heavy in gospel vibes and Alex takes this feeling and gives it his unique jazzy drum & bass reworking. Please let us know your thoughts. For more info on the Alex Reece Remix please contact...... The 'other' UK promo cd for Elegantly Wasted (INXSCJ1) has the following track listing, if you like the song Elegantly Wasted this is made for you! Elegantly Wasted Need You Tonight Elegantly Wasted (Radio Edit) Suicide Blonde Elegantly Wasted Strangest Party Elegantly Wasted (Radio Edit) Baby Don't Cry Elegantly Wasted This promo comes in a cardboard cover, the same design as part 1 of EW except it has under the title - The new single plus four classic tracks. Anyway once I get to have a listen to the Searching mixes I'll let you know what I think of them. BTW. I think yesterday someone asked about the Australian DLYH and if it's released, it is but my local store only got them in today (Thursday), they said it was delayed a couple of days because Polygram has had to deal with the demand for the Diana singles. I really like the DLYH remix, it's better than the LP version. The LP version goes a bit too fast for my liking, but this remix slows it down and is really laid back. Matthew.

Have they released another single, if so which one??? Does anyone agree that they are suffering the same problem as INXS. For all intents and purposes U2 are nowhere to be seen. I think for an album to sell well it has to have at least 2-3 singles that chart well.

Have they >released another single, if so which one??? The lastest U2 single in Australia is 'Last night on Earth'. Anyway I was thinking the same thing about relating U2's lack of promotion in the last few months in Australia, and what effect it has on sales. I took notice of this recent U2 single because I think the highest it reached was about 38, and my U2's standard that is unusual. Back to INXS, I sometimes feel their management, and publicity agents feel they don't need to promote INXS in Australia. I think they have the view that because INXS have achieved so much over 20 years, they don't need promoting because everyone has heard of INXS. But in reality, the average person under 20 in Australia doesn't have much of an idea. They really need to go back to basics and market INXS as if they were a new band, to a lot of people under 20 they are a new band. Matthew.

I don't know if any of you actually heard this "Fresh from its record 10 awards at the ARIAS, Brisbane duo Savage Garden has flown to the United States where it performed a concert for radio in Detroit with fellow Aussie band INXS. Savage Garden's Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones had paid tribute to INXS when collecting their awards, saying the true test would be if they, too, were still around and making great records in ten years from now. INXS hasn't enjoyed the same good press as Savage Garden in recent years, however. When the two groups met in Detroit, INXS singer Michael Hutchence was heard to say: "Hey thanks for your rave at the ARIAs- have the media crucified you yet?" .........." maybe its the medias job to crucify. To sort out the weak from the strong. Those who fall away don't have what it takes to make it in the entertainment industry and those that don't fall away continue to make great music twenty years later. at least INXS have media attention. I know some of you will disagree with me but bad attention is better than no attention at all. Lets just hope that Savage Garden has the strength of character like INXS does to ignore the bad publicity and continue to make great music Vicky to all other Aussies out there Any word on the Aust tour yet???

I don't think that anyone can deny that it is among the most catchy and greatest songs on the record. Here is my take on all the songs: Show Me -- I disliked this one at first, but it really grows on you. EW -- What can you say? This one hypnotizes me almost as much as The Strangest Party. Everything -- Not too bad. Nice break from the fury of the first two, but hardly a great song. DLYH -- Great song, by this time giving me the message that this album is trying to put forth: "we're back!". Searching -- Okay, but a little repetitive. Somewhat trite lyrics. IJAM -- Very good. Girl on Fire -- Again, great. WATT -- An epic by INXS standards. Superb, one of the best on the album. That one -- See how memorable it is? I forget the song. She is Rising -- Good, but not great. Building Bridges -- Amazing. There you have it. The last four songs are not bad, but hardly show the rest as being bad.

(btw, was it me or did it seem that everyone had a real pissy weekend? Mine was fine, but reading some of the posts earlier in the week, sort of got me feeling lousy) anyway... I'm not sure I understood Basil's comment, "How many people went through the roof when they heard "Shake the Tree" for the first time?" Am I agreeing or disagreeing with him when I say that "Shake" is my personal least favorite on the album? I see that I agree with Bruce R. And I also agree with his comment that the last four songs do not make the rest look bad. It seems my favs or least favs are often contrary to other fans', on FMDH my least fav is "I'm Only Looking," and on Welcome...( my fav album) its "Strange Desire." My EW favs at present are "Searching," ( which I heard on a Reading, PA radio station, which pleasantly surprised me ) "IJAM," and "Building Bridges." I have loved "Searching" since I first heard it on the VH-1 Aspen special. To me the lyrics are so simple, yet so meaningful at the same time. Who of us hasn't felt that way at some point in our lives? And the whole sound is incredibly soulful, those motown influences coming through. As for "IJAM" what can I say other than what an incredible song, and its so powerful done live, as been mentioned. "BB" has really grown on me since first getting the CD. But I also love "DLYH" and "Girl on Fire," which I find extremely catchy, despite the "burn, burn, burn." I guess it doesn't hurt remembering how Michael sang it mere inches in front of me in DC. ( To touch on another recent topic... not that I go to see Michael or any other band member in particular. To me it wouldn't be INXS without all 6 of them, so all 6 I go to see! Although I do admit that I have a particular place I try to stand when possible. : ) As for my misinterpreted lyrics, I have to ask did anyone other than myself and Joan think it was "babys down IN THE WELL" in EW at first? How silly of us! (and she knows it!) Also in "Suicide Blonde" my daughter thought it was "supersonic rock" when it first came on the radio. The chats have been much fun these past 2 weeks. Did we decide if we're keeping Mon. evening as the permanent time?

That's really funny, because I think Shine is one of the weakest tracks the band has *ever* done.... almost, but not quite, even outdoing Deliver Me (shudder). What's with the horrible repetition of "Gimme Gimme Gimme" in both songs? Does the band have some hidden Abba fetish? :) Now, "Let It Ride" --- there's a Bside that is worthy of inclusion on the album. I'm also wondering where "Bang The Drum" (originally entitled "Hangin' On") has ended up -- it's a great fuckin' song. Two other still-unreleased songs, "Tuesday Weed" and "I Don't Need Ya" are pretty subpar, but good enough for release as Bsides!

I jotted down a few remarks: SHOW ME - impressive, bottom-heavy guitar opening. Song goes down the tube with adolescent, repetitive ("Cherry Baby"???? STUPID!) lyrics. Middle guitar bridge drags a bit slow. Excellent ending. This song bugs me because it could have been so much more... EW - Top-notch, funky track. Unfortunately it's a Need You Tonight for the 90's. Example: last line with just Michael singing: "Elegantly Wasted" sounds a tad too similar to ending of NYT: "You're one of my kind". EVERYTHING - A great cure for insomniacs. Probably took 5 minutes to write, and it shows! DLYH - It's just like any song from "Kick" but with the life and energy sucked out of it. And frankly, I think "Shake The Tree" would have been a better song for Face/Off. SEARCHING - decent song, but sounds like it was recorded in a studio built by Fisher Price. Much better live. IJAM - Great song, excellent bass line and powerful vocals by Hutch. The album starts to improve here until... G.O.F - Baby burn, burn, burn this song. Sounds like title track to "Kick" rewritten to sound as bad as possible. It's fun to hear live, though. WATT - Beautiful acoustic guitar, mesmerizing vocals. Deep, profound lyrics (Hutch can write when he actually tries). Eastern flute-like keyboards and psychedelic bridge are magnificent! SHAKE THE TREE - A 5-star performance from the boys. Pounding drums and bass. Great low-octave vocals from Michael. Best line, "Round the corner comes salvation, made to order that's what you've found". Screaming background vocals, great mix on Michael's voice, I can't say enough about this song. (It gets me "High, high, high"...) Put's the comptetion to shame. SHE IS RISING - This song has it all: Depth, subtelty, melody and maturity. A valiant creative effort. BUILDING BRIDGES - This song strikes a very personal chord for me. By far, one of the most moving INXS songs ever. I don't think anyone is comfortable in their skin. Well, that's my blathering for today. Thanks for listening.

I love the radio edit and the remix - both very good, and the live tracks a excellent. So Aussies, do yourself (and the band) a favour and go buy it. While I was there I found INXSive on CD for $12.95 - no need to say I snapped up that bargain before it got away! Lastly, I emailed Triple M here in Brisbane about playing DLYH, and I also asked them too play a lot more INXS songs from post-KICK albums. That was about a week ago, and coincidence or not, I have heard By MY Side and Bitter Tears in the last three days!! But unfortunatley not DLYH. So, anyone else in Brisbane, log on to the Triple M website and request songs (if it doesn't work on E-quest, try the general e-mail - you'll understand what I'm talking about when you find it). It's up to us to push for radio's to play the new INXS - I only here EW.

These are just some aspects of EW which I thought were either good or bad. 1) Show Me - I couldn't agree with Neil more on this song. It has a great start. It slowly builds in intensity and anticipation then you get hit with the "Oh Cherry Baby" over and over again. What a waste! This song had so much more potential. The "Oh cherry baby"s really make this potetially great song rather lame. 2) Elegantly Wasted - A classic trademark INXS funky/pop song with a bit of 90s production thrown in. Again I agree with Neil on this one. However I think people tended to forget about it as just another INXS song. I think U2 are starting to suffer from this. The first single off POP was very much like the previous album and similar to Achtung Baby (spelling?). I think people started to think that it was just another U2 album. Consequently I haven't heard much of them. I think EW and INXS are much the same. Great song but dismissed as another INXS album. People tend to think "I've got Kick why get the latest incarnation." A new direction desperately needed but well thought out and done successfully. Still a Great song! 3) Everything - Again I agree with Neil. A run of the mill song that probably didn't take much time to write. Nothing inspirational about it. Not moving like Never Tear Us Apart or Not enough Time. INXS talent and the album production do put a bit of polish on this song. I do like Michaels vocals. 4) Don't Lose Your Head - A bit harsh Neil? The thing I really don't like about it is that "Three Blind Mice, See how the run" chord thorughout the song. Very noticable at the beginning. Kill the backup sining. It sounds like a song from the seventies or off a cheap live TV production. Nothing makes a song sound more dated then backup singing like that. Sorry it just irks me. I don't think Michael's vocals are that bad. A bit more guns in the skyish would maybe suit more. Apart from that it is sung well, the lyrics are good and I like the song. I just think it had more potential. 5) Searching - Definatley better live! Where the guitar that I heard at the ARIA's? I think whoever mixed it got it wrong. The live version is much better in every way especially the singing. A good song with yet agian potential to be more. 6) I'm Just a Man - I love the start of this song. The instrumental just before Michael starts singing is great. It builds in intensity and is quite moving. Unfortunately for me it seems to fall off after that. I like the song and listen to it a lot but thought it had much more potential. 7) Girl On Fire - Yes, it maybe be a thorw away, disposable pop song but I think its a damn good one. When INXS do POP they do it well as shown with this song. More lively and up beat then Elegeantly Wasted, maybe it would have been better to release it instead of EW (as Andrew F has been quoted as saying). I don't know if they composed it in "five minutes". Didn't they say they worked really hard to make a couple of songs that would fly at radio. Doesn't sound anything to me like "yeah we threw together a couple of quick disposable pop songs that the kids might buy". 8) We Are Thrown Together - Adventurous. The song keep changing. Their immense talent pulls it all together and makes it work WELL. In some ways I think the song is "thrown together" because it seems to have so many styles throughout. The vocals are terriffic. A great display of their musical talent. My only criticism is that the eastern sound doesn't work for me at all. 9) Shake The Tree - I agree with neil on this one except that eastern thing still doesn't work for me. 10) She Is Rising - Love the guitar used in the intro to this song. Michael's vocals are terrific. Good song. Wasn't Michael credited with guitar on this song? If so What part did he play? 11) Building Bridges - Great Song though never could be a single. Probably my favourite off the album. Michael's vocals, the lyrics and the instrumental all fit right into place. This song is goes to show how good a song can be when they get everything right. I love how its so mellow then breaks into that power verse "Where has your innocence gone..." I always turn the stereo up loud right on the start of this to give it extra emphasis. 12) Shine - The start of the song (yet again) is terrific. I like the overall sound of the song. Michael's vocals are a bit Max Qish. The "Gimme,Gimme's don't bother me. there that subtle I hadn't even noticed them until Neil mentioned them". Not a bad song but Building Bridges would be a better album closer.

"Ahhhhh... you got to my attention" I love the discussion, and I've decided to throw my two hundred dollars# worth in. Well I have been aware of the CPI for the past twenty years. Am I the only person on the planet who likes every single song of this album ...or any other INXS album. I'm more interested in finding what I like about music rather than what I dislike, maybe that's why I don't regularly find sufficient fault in any of the songs. Having said that, everythings relative and I would agree with most of you (that's everybody) and your comments on the list. The theme being that the last half of the album is (more or less) superiour to the first....Yeah I can hear that to, especially "Shake the Tree" in that octave with the guitars and volume it reminds me a bit of Guns 'n' Roses (sorry). Shake the Tree is my favourite song until the next INXS album that is (hoping like hell). As for the first half of the album it's also excellent, just swap the studio recordings and throw in the live recordings for all of them and they'd be better (That would be super excellent). Especially searching, that one live at the ARIA's was far better than the *okay* studio recording. The song "everything", I love this song but as I told a Kiwi on the chat site it's a song about Coke... Cola that is. I think it's record sales are the probable reason most people would even bother to search for a fault in it. I mean is anybody looking for or were looking for faults in the KICK album. I think you can assert that the reason for Elegantly Wasted's poor sales particularly in OZ and the US is the phrase "I've got one of their records, I don't need another". Quite simply if the current sound doesn't catch the listeners attention by the throat they will blatantly disregard it for something that does. I remember an instance back in 1988 in high school that may shed some light on what I'm failing to say. It was on the basket ball courts where there was roughly 120 students between 13-17, and there was a work crew working on a nearby building. They were listening quietly to music from their van while working. And low and behold on comes an INXS twin play. Send a Message drifts quietly across the courts and doesn't sway much attention. Then they find reason to turn up the volume to excess, cause the radio station plays the song Kick. Amazingly everybody in near vicinity of that van (about half the people on the courts) started to cheer on the crescendo keyboard intro to the song. It may have been helped by the fact INXS were playing the Entertainment Centre that evening. But still where are those avidly cheering people now, they ain't buying an INXS record that's for sure. The fact that they aren't buying INXS records anymore has very little to do with INXS, literally. People are just buying something else, and although most people would probably say INXS is a good band, that's where it ends. It's not enough for them to prove it by buying the record they can here it on the radio once in a 'full' moon. If you ask a person who doesn't like an INXS song, why they don't like it. They will either state some reason having nothing much to do with the actual music or they will coin some sort of phrase which basically implies "I don't get it, don't understand it". That's fair, and gives me and my cynical mind a radical and somewhat dubious thought. Maybe INXS's 'good' record sales also had very little to do with INXS, literally. Maybe they just got lucky when they found a sound (or pesona) that was of "common understanding" to a great many people, 9 million +. But that's enough it is mere contemplation, not worthy of your ears span of attention. I think I can give back some change# in this instance _____ When it comes down to it I am only interested in the record sales "problem" because if INXS stop "selling" records it won't be to much longer before they "stop" making records. I am currently very happy with the INXS 'sound' but fear that it won't be resonating any new vibes soon, and I will be selfishly and deeply disappointed with those people who don't understand the INXS sound as most of you and I on the list probably do. All you people on the list who are into writing short messages, just tell Tim (and INXS) the one thing. "Just keep making records,... please". This wrong songwords idea, I thought the words in NEED YOU TONIGHT were 'You can care all you want, everybody "dance" yeah that's okay'. I even convinced my friend that these were the lyrics, I told him some garbage about that's how the British say it!! The difference with getting this word wrong as opposed to some other's mentioned in the thread is that the lyric's still make sense with the error. In Cut your Roses Down I thought he was saying "what the funk is about". In Kiss the Dirt I thought the lyric went "Lose our minds at one attempt, these passions never seem to end". In Move On I thought Michael was saying in the She said..(I have no idea MT).....for way ####in' long. I also have something else to confess only slightly related. I was listening to the radio in 1992 when I heard this really cool and energetic song. And remember remarking to myself "Jesus, I hope the new INXS single sounds like that". Cause the song had the same energy as INXS but the vocals weren't quite the same. I thought I was listening to the latest offering from one of Geffen's new "hot" bands, it sounded deadly close to INXS.........Later on that evening I saw the video to the song on MTV. It was called Heaven Sent. Michael Talon I need every minute with you, cause no one else can do what you, do what you.

We all know that the record sales don't mean jack when it comes to the music. Otherwise, Bush would be the greatest British band ever and Alanis Morisette would be the world's best female artist. It doesn't work that way, and it's nice to see that we know that. But an interesting point was brought up: we have been "Searching" (ugh) for faults in EW and FMDH while I have never seen anybody tear a strip off of Kick, ever. Not only on this list, mind you. Most reviews of INXS albums I have read list Kick as their best album. One word: why? The answer, of course, is it's commercial success. Aside from "Spice" (guess who?) I have almost never seen a bad review for a blockbuster album. If I were to review Kick, I would rate it among INXS' poorest. I really would. That is not to say that it's a bad album. Only lackluster. I feel almost no aggression from it, no passion, no power. All I feel is dollar signs running through my veins. Perhaps X was more of a stretch to keep their fan base. I believe that, in some ways, it is a very similar album to Kick. But it was the start of INXS' commercial decline. From what I've seen in reviews, it's been mostly panned. See a connection? Incidentally, I have been listening to X a lot more than I used to, and it now resides at #3 on my rankings of the albums. Wanna see? Here it is: 1 -- WTWYA 2 -- LLT 3 -- X 4 -- Hits 5 -- FMDH 6 -- EW 7 -- SS 8 -- LBL 9 -- The Swing 10 - Kick 11 - UTC 12 - INXS Well, that's my two cents. Sorry if I wasted your time.

You have to give him credit for being a wonderful lyricist and outstanding performer. He certainly deserves much of the the attention he gets from the women...its his job to reach out to the audience and put his neck on the line for the performance. I have been backstage and at the hotels when he has been charming and engaging and other times when he has been distant. I imagine it must be extremely difficult to be "on" all the time when people are watching your every move and hanging on your every word. Yes, its part of the job, but we tend to forget how very generous these guys are with the fans. Quite frankly, I don't think he deserved the attack.

As soon as I take my seat in the airplane, I yell profanity at myself for leaving my 10 INXS tickets tacked on my bulletin board at home. What an idiot, eh? And things just got worse. I met Kim from Minneapolis at the Toronto airport. When I got to hotel, I learned they bumped me. They said that I never made a reservation, but I know that what really happened was that the city was totally booked because of some conventions, and they wanted to get a higher rate for my room. Spent the entire weekend scrambling for rooms. I was able to solve the INXS ticket problem. I called my point man in Australia, and asked him to contact Tim (the guitarist) and try and get us tickets for the Thursday show. I got my friend back home to FedEx the Friday tickets to me. Dateline: Thursday, September 25 Kris and Kim from Fresno arrive in Toronto. We all scramble to hotel #2. We go to the show that night. I¹m hanging out outside when the tour bus arrives at the venue. Tim sees me and runs up to me and shakes my hand. I go inside and pick up my photo pass and VIP pass. I¹m able to squeeze to the front row by flashing my VIP pass and photo pass, although I can tell the crowd isn¹t too thrilled about it. I tell them it¹s only for three songs. The band comes on. Tim sees me in front row, so reaches out and shakes my hand. They play a good show. The only different things were Mike singing three songs from the bar, and Andrew doing a little UPS skit with one of the techies just before the encore. There was also a big skirmish for a shirt that Mike threw into the crowd, and 5 girls ended up turning it into 5 pieces. We all go backstage after the show. Kirk is there taking pictures of Shelley and what I think were a bunch of her family. Kirk sees me and seems quite happy to see me. This means he remembers who I am. Cool. I ask him if I can get a picture with him, so we move to a hallway with more light and do the picture thing. I then ask if I can see Tim since I had some business to discuss, and so he takes me into their dressing room. I meet a number of the other guys again, and get a picture taken with Andrew. Tim¹s happy to see me and gives me a big bear hug. He thanks me for helping him out with some Apple stuff. He suggests that I go see the band play in Australia. ³That would be cool² I say. ³No, that would be very cool² he says. He invites me back to their hotel to share a drink in the lounge. So we all go back there and just hang out. Dateline: Friday, September 26 Yet again, we see another show. This time I don¹t have to leave the front row after the third song (the previous night we had to go give the photo pass back, this night I got to keep it). I took a bunch of photos with my conventional camera this time, using the zoom lens. The concert is also very good. A different occurrence was when a couple of strippers came out during Suicide Blonde. After the show I went backstage shortly again and met up with Tim who said he was really ³naked², which I think is the Australian term for tired. He used that same term on ³In Search Of Excellence². We go back to the hotel lounge and hang out. It isn¹t long before Tim goes back to his room due to his nakedness. I have all the pictures from the first night already downloaded onto my Apple PowerBook 3400 laptop, so I go to each of the guys one by one and show them all the pictures I got. I show Kirk first and he is really impressed and urges that I show them to Martha the manager since the band apparently needs some good live photos. He jokingly says they¹ll pay me 50 cents a piece for them. I then show Andrew, and then Garry, and then Martha and Michael and Jon. Each time I get quite a crowd around me looking at them. But alas, the night comes to and end, and that¹s my story. JAV ---- John A.

I mean is anybody looking for or >were looking for faults in the KICK album. When "Kick" was released in 1987, it was fresh, vibrant, raw, energetic, exciting, etc. It was a complete change in course for INXS, and nearly every song on the album grabbed you. I felt this way the first time I heard the whole album through, well before it shot up to the top of the charts. That along with a groundbreaking (at least at that time) video for NYT captured the attention of a lot of people. But, in fact , it was AFTER "Kick" started selling millions that I found fault in it. First, the album was a loss of originality in that it sounded very, very Rolling Stones-ish. Secondly, it changed the image of INXS and especially Michael, into trendy 80's pop stars. A band that once had artistic credibility and depth was now singing songs like "Come on down to the party...Do the sex dance...etc..." Having enjoyed songs like "Original Sin", "Red Red Sun" and "All the Voices", I thought to myself, "What happened to INXS, and when did Michael turn into Mr. pretty boy leather jacket guy?" They pretty much were conforming to the pop sounds of the late 80's. Fine. Then they redeemed themselves with X, WTWYA, and FMDH. Unfortunately, they had a chance to garner the same credibility as U2 or REM but critics and the masses dismissed them as yesterday's fluff, and they still haven't been able to shake it off. So, to me, "Kick" was a great, fun album and a pop/financial success. Unfortunately, it was artistic suicide, and will forever haunt INXS no matter what they do. This leads me to my critique of the first half of EW. I find fault in it because, to me, it's a 90's retread of "Kick", and a lame attempt at that. Do you think that if U2 release an album that sounded like "Achtung, Baby" that people would just run out and buy it? (Oh wait, they did, it's called "POP" and it hasn't sold even close to what was expected.) INXS is a band that supposedly had grown, evolved and matured and we get a song in which 60% of the content is "Oh Cherry Baby..." We waited four years for that? Please! And how mature can one be if he writes a song (DLYH) lashing out at a guy who made fun of him at the BRIT awards (Liam Gallagher), or lowers himself at concerts by replacing the lyrics to EW with "I'm better than Oasis" (and if he's not doing that, he sure isn't denying it very well....) This is all my personal opinion and I honestly believe that EW is a great album, but a big loss of potential. I wouldn't have such high expectations if I didn't think they could do better. Sorry, everyone, I'm just feeling very wordy this week. Basil From: "BPRice" To: "INXS Mailing List" Subject: [INXS] My reassessment of EW Date: Fri, 3 Oct 1997 13:52:37 -0600 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I guess all of these recent reviews of the album have put me in the mood to reassess my take on EW. The first review I gave was just two days after the albums release, so maybe now I have a new perspective. 1) Show Me: Like just about everybody else, great introduction. Awesome build-up. The eastern guitar works well for this song and the verses, while VERY ambiguous, flow really well. Again, like everybody else, the Oh Cherry Baby doesn't work, and sounds like it was put there to take up space in between the beginning and the first verse. Slide guitar at the end was cool. Good song, potentially great, damaged by Oh Cherry being repeated too many times. 2) Elegantly Wasted: Awesome, funky song. I play this to pump me up before a big event. Bass line just grabs you and sucks you in. Go Gary! 3) Everything: We all heard this live first, just like Searching, and I think that affected our opinion of the studio versions for both. Both songs just sound too sterile on the album, but live they work really well. The lyrics are solid, especially the "as you walk through the crowd" part and when Michael lets his voice fly at "the way-HEYYYYYYYY-yeah". Maybe they should have done this acoustically, like they did on Virgin Radio. 4) Don't Lose Your Head: Solid pop song. Would have been a smash hit ten years ago. I feel it is sung well and the lyrics are very confrontational. Does anyone get the feeling they should have released EW in 1990 instead of X? 5) Searching: I touched on the studio aspects of this above. It is just too sterile for me. And, yes, just where the hell IS the wokka-wokka guitar that we heard at the ARIAs? I agree with Neil that maybe they should have done more than one take for this song. I don't like the way Michael sings it here. But, it IS good live. 6) I'm Just a Man: Not a favorite at first, but since hearing it live it quickly catapulted to my second favorite song on this album, after She is Rising. Terrific song, great saxophone, too. (Has anybody noticed the conspicuous LACK of Kirk's sax on the last two albums? What's up with that?) I hope it has success as a single. 7) Girl On Fire: One of my favorites at first, but now it's more middle of the road for me. I still think they should have released this right on the heels of EW as a single. To hear it live is a treat. Like a lot of the songs on this album, it goes over better live. 8) We Are Thrown Together: I love the beginning with Michael singing and Andrew(?) on guitar. The eastern flavor doesn't quite work well for this song, though. It also is a tad too long, for my tastes. 9) Shake the Tree: My second favorite at first, but has since slipped. Very highly produced, and "I see her walking, in perfect time", with Michael's voice like he's singing through a bottle (can't find a better way to describe it!) is awesome. 10) She Is Rising: From the beginning, my favorite song. Just incredible. No weaknesses whatsoever. I'd put it in the same class as Deepest Red; it has the same "feel" to it. I really wish they'd release this as a single. One of the best all time songs, not only for INXS, but period. 11) Building Bridges: While I recognize the caliber of this song, it never was one of my favs. Musically it is fantastic, and the intro sort of has that Doors feel to it. If the band Live released it as a single it would be a smash, but this is not what people expect or would accept from INXS. But it's a great album ender. So there you have it.

My take on the tracks (US): *Show Me (Cherry Baby)--the opening just builds and is really a great way to start the album, but the more Hutch sings "Cherry baby," the more momentum it loses. *Elegantly Wasted--I *still* love this one! It's just so funky. No complaints here. *Everything--a sweet little song, but quite insipid. *Don't Lose Your Head--This song has been growing on me, especially since it's supposedly written for Oasis. Hutch's voice is powerful, love the guitar solo. The backup singers make it sound a little corny, but overall a great song. Like it better live, tho. *Searching--love the gospel feel at the end, but again, a little too pop-py for my tastes. *I'm Just a Man--The gradual build of the song works here, and it doesn't lose your attention like Show Me. The lyrics are great, very emotional. *Girl on Fire--Like the horn section, but the lyrics are pretty dumb. A fun song without much of a point, but not that it needs one:) *We Are Thrown Together--My favorite from the beginning. I just love the opening when Hutch goes, "Let's go." The eastern sounds don't sound laid on at all to me. It ends the same way it begins, with Hutch in a sort of half-whisper. Really a complete song. *Shake the Tree--the eastern influences sound a little false on this one. Not one of my faves. *She Is Rising--Great lyrics, great song. *Building Bridges--It really does build. I love when the guitars kick in. A great closing track. Here's a rarity--I actually heard "Good Times" on KQDS radio here in Duluth last night!! They usually only play "The One Thing," "What You Need," and "Elegantly Wasted." Real diverse, huh?

As I said before here is the translated article from the brazilan newspaper "O Estado de Sao Paulo" that was published today (October, 3rd). There is also a promotion which is giving as a prize an INXS' Kit which contains a Teaser (I don't know what is it, exactly), a promo CD-ROM, and a Elegantly Wasted Limited Series copy. To participate I have to answer the question: What name you should register in a Miami hotel to foil the papparazzi? They want a three line answer with justification. If anyone should help me I will always be grateful. It is in the cover page of the Teen suplement "Zap" which is published at Fridays. Illustrating it, there is a big pcture like the album cover one. Sorry for any mistakes, since I had to translate it from Brazilian Portuguese. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INXS - Heavier and Introspective (From Brazilian Newspaper "O Estado de Sao Paulo" - October 3rd, 1997) It was needed to call to a guy called "N. Mailer", at Miami, to talk to Michael Hutchence, vocalist and INXS' leader. Should it be an homenage to the great american writer Norman Mailer? Or just a way to take away the inconvenient journalists? "For me, is funny because I always appreciated people that makes good books", Mailer says, or in a better way, Michael, in exclusive interview to "Estado de Sao Paulo". "Sometimes, I made my register in hotels as Allen Ginsberg." The aussie group is promoting Elegantly Wasted (Polygram), their tenth studio album, which was just released in Brazil. The album is more centralized into Funk and Rhythim n'Blues than their previous albums, principally in tracks as Show Me (Cherry Baby), Don't Loose Your Head and I'm Just a Man. According to Hutchence, it wasn't planned. "Maybe for the fact of the album being almost fully recorded at a simple studio take", he says."I think we did a harder work, but with some introspective and travelable moments." The INXS is a six-guy-band formed 17 years ago by the Farriss brothers (Andrew, Tim and Jon) and is with the same formation since the beginning. What is the secret for the longevity? "In fact are 20 years", Hutchence says, extremely friendly, so far from that "Popstar Pose" that people attribute him. "We created the band in 1977, but we just recorded the first album 3 years later", he tells, "I feel very well working with these guys, because we are very good friends, since a long time before the band began." In his unpretentious beginning, Michael admits that he never dreamt with the sucess in the proportions that the group achieved. "We began to play at small clubs and than at more and more bigger places, recording a lot of albums and travelling around the world", tells, "What should I say? Dreams are dreams." The singer is also an occasional actor. He has worked in the aussie movie "Dogs in Space", from Richard Lowenstain, and in "Frankenstein Unbound" from Roger Corman. Into his immediate plans, one is to make another movie. "For now, I just can tell you that it is an independent movie." It is also scheduled an solo album for early 1998. "I'm beginning to work into it now, and it is a thing that is exciting me so much, because it will have the participation from a lot of friends." In his particular life, Michael also has reasons to celebrate. After his long affair with Kylie Minogue, he is now married with Paula, and their first daughter (Tiger Lily) had just borned. "The funny thing is that Andrew and Garry (Beers, the INXS' bassist) had children recently, which mades INXS almost an Father Association." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- See Ya, Danilo Meira -- "We are not influenced, we influence" (M.Hutchence, about INXS) --- Peace and Love INXS for all, --- Danilo Meira --- Visit Elegantly INXS: --- Date: Fri, 03 Oct 1997 20:17:32 -0300 From: Danilo Meira To: INXS Mailing List Subject: [INXS] EW: My Review Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi All!!! I saw everyone making its review here, like six months ago, when the album was released and we now are reading more consistent reviews than in that time. Here goes mine: Show Me: Very strong song, a nice intro to the album, but as in Heaven Sent, I think that it has something missing in that song. EW: A Real Nice one. It has all the INXS' sound inside. As someone said, it is a "We're back song". Everything: I really love the video for this song. The crowd saying the words (laugh, cry, fall, etc.) makes this video another great work from Paul Boyd with the band (he did the Baby don't Cry video, IMHO, one of the INXS' best ones). But I think that the accoustic version is better. DLYH: It is one of my faves in the album. The "I hate what that person did" lyrics made me feel like flying. Searching: The worse song in this album. The live version is far away better. When I heard it in the ARIA's version, my thought was that it should be the first or the second single. But not the album version, which looks like Viking Juice in a slower tempo. IJAM: This song should, IMHO, be the third single. The way Michael sings it is very powerful and remembers me "Shine Like It Does". GOF: I don't like this song. For me it sounds like Aerosmith. WATT: This is my #2 on the album. Has a catchy chorus and is a nice breakthrough between the first and the second part of the album. I like this song also because it is raw and soft at the same time. Shake The Tree: It looks like a Information Society song. She is Rising: This one didn't made me happy at the beginning, but it is growing at my concept. Building Bridges: Cool Song. Michael's voice is really nice in it, and the bass is really great (Nice work, Garry!!!!!) Shine: This is my #1 in this album. It should REALLY be the first single, because it has somekind of "latino beat" that makes me feel happy enough to dance around my house. It is on my Top10. It looks so much like Deliver Me.

I had discussions with the band and management about the fanclub recently while on the eastcoast tour, and we concluded this is the only way to go. Perhaps the outcome would have been different if there'd been 3-4 times the number of paid members by now. I am forwarding all the membership records to their new manager by Wed, Oct 8. She'll be returning the membership dues; either refunding the payments that were deposited already, or merely returning the undeposited check/cash payments directly to the addressees. If you want to know the status of your membership payment, please email me at: (please remember to include your real name and postal mailing address) If your check has not been deposited, I could merely tear it up to avoid the whole refund process, but please contact me asap for approval (US only). International payments are bit trickier. Also, I will send Martha the cards the band autographed, and ask her to send one to each person that joined IN2XS (thank you for not asking for a particular autograph). All merchandise orders (vintage passes) will be fulfilled. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

The international superstar band will play the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Monday, December 1. The "Lose Your Head" national tour is part of its successful world tour, and will be its first tour of Australia in three years. Tickets at $42 each plus service fee go on sale tommorrow week. The group's world tour began in February with its first South African concerts. Ther band has just finished touring the US and Canada to rave reviews. In Chicago, they played a live radio broadcast before a crowd of 20,000. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the band, which formed on Sydney's northern beaches. "Twenty years is great. We look forward to finishing the last leg of our world tour by playing in Australia," said frontman, Michael Hutchence. The concerts are a blend of their new and old string of hits, including Suicide Blond, Need You Tonight and Devil Inside. ------------------------------------- Finally! Interesting to note how respectful the article is to the band. In recent times Adelaide has probably been a lot kinder to INXS than Sydney or Melbourne. I will be interested to see how INXS' tour is announced by interstate media outlets. BTW, I missed the announcement on Hey Hey It's Saturday. What was the reaction like from the audience/Daryl etc?

We all appreciate the extra effort you put into the EW tour, with the backstage passes and trying to get everyone to meet the band. I guess on the bright side, throughout this adventure you did get a lot closer to the band and that's a thing to be appreciated. I'm not quite sure what else to say except that thank you for trying to put us IN2XS and hopefully something else will come up. Thanks Mary.

She did what few could do and that was to make dreams come true for many of you on the list. Even me, way up here in the middle of nowhere, I didn't meet the band but I did get to help out with something which really makes you feel closer to the band and a part of something big. So thank you Mary for a great time and giving us all a little piece of INXS. And I'm sure that with anything else you decide to do you have a whole list of supporters for your next project.

Unfortunately, I've known about this for quite some time. So basically, I've had time to stew in my own juices. Now that it's all out in the open, I have my chance to vent. Short and sweet, I think this whole situation is a travesty. I can't believe the management have left us in the lurch like this. Were we really asking for that much? A little information, a little consideration for years of support. That was all. And the best part of the bargain was that Mary would take care of it all. All she needed was some cooperation. It wasn't like we wanted to take up their time or invade their homes. IN2XS just wanted to provide up-to-date information on the movements and whereabouts of the band, inform us of side projects that we could also support, tell us when the guys were on TV or radio so we could tune in and let them know they're loved. It wanted to provide a convenient outlet for us to buy merchandise and collectibles. It wanted to give us first shot at getting tickets to the concerts. How could they have lost on an arrangement like this? From where I sit, it seems like they'd have done nothing but profit. The only thing we'd have gotten out of the club (besides lots of stuff and a little lighter in the wallet) would have been contact with other fans like us. How many of us have said we feel alone in our devotion? This could have brought INXS fans together. These people have made god knows how much money from our loyalty and when we ask for a little something in return, they turn their backs on us. We were promised, delayed, put on hold and through it all, we waited rather patiently. Isn't anyone else a little disillusioned? What kind of light does this cast on the band itself? I know Tim reads this list and I've always appreciated that -- that he listens to us. He was the first person to send his sympathies when my father passed away. And from all reports, the rest of the band is just as nice. But when we're told that our connection has been cut for purely economic reasons, I have to wonder how many of us have hesitated to buy an album or purchase a concert ticket? And I doubt that any of our salaries are hardly comparable. I'm not really sure of all the politics involved in this decision, but I think I'm going to take that address Mary gave us and direct my comments to it. So far, Mary has been the only one speaking up for us. It's time to start speaking up for ourselves. Even if management only gets a letter from me, at least they'll know I'm out here.

Without Mary, and the combined effort from everyone who helped out it wouldn't have been such a success! Thanks to everyone, and a big hug and thanks to Mary.

I know that I have supported INXS, back since the very first time I ever heard an INXS song. And I know that I am not the only person on the list who feels the same. All of us have dedicated at least some small part of our lives to INXS. I have bought their music, watched them on tv, bought their merchandise, and flown across the country to see them, as well as seeing them whenever they come to Chicago. I have supported the 100%. The fact that the fan club is being shut down really bothers me. Stazya is right, INXS could only benefit from having this fan club going strong. It would be great for the members, to know what's going on during their tours and in the side projects, and the band would receive our loyalty and the benefits of having just that many more people buying merchandise and the like. The important question here is, what is this saying about the band? I'm sure that they didn't sit around, plotting to ruin the fan club, but I don't think that "purely economic" reasons could shut down the fan club if they truly supported its work. Also, what does this say about what will be happening to INXS in the future? We, as members of the fanclub, and some of their most loyal fans, are really getting shafted. If the band and their management are shutting down the fanclub, what else is being cut? What is going to happen to INXS after all the publicity of EW is over? Is there going to still be an INXS? And another thought: what will happen to this list? Especially now that the fan club is over, and the current server for this list will be changing... It's scary to me to think of what this could possibly mean to the future of the band, and to the connection between us as fans. Stazya, could you or someone else please post the address again so that I may direct my additional comments to it as well? I think that we as a list should take up an intense effort to write to this address/person and let it be known how we feel.

The whole thing is maintained by Neil and Jason. The only reason we have to move it is because Jason will be graduating soon and won't have an account at the University (I think that's the reason). However, much of the information we were getting was coming from Mary. Much of it came from our own little network too so maybe it won't change much. >Stazya, could you or someone else please post the address again so that I >may direct my additional comments to it as well?

It never was even given the chance to make a debut! I've known Mary for some time now and she was into making this club work even when their old official Atlantic records club was still (kinda) functioning. I feel bad that she put as much time and effort into this project just to be told "too bad, so sad, bye bye..." even touched that there were people at basically every show who wanted to help get this club going. Several band members even said "thank you so much!" when I mentoined that myself and the other fans I was with were hading out flyers at the Orlando show. And then to hear that the club is officially axed....ARRRGGH! I hope everybody who has been publishing unofficial newsletters will continue to do so....since it seems they will be the only fan produced publications about INXS around now. I am definatly writing a letter (maybe several, just to make a nusiance of myself) to the address Mary provided for us. This is all ridiculous! Were we really asking all that much? Was Mary? I think not.

I'm not in the habit of begging for things. They didn't care about it when there was a fanclub in place, do you really think they'll care about it if some fans write to them. Economic reasons? Oh come on. What was that $25.00/year fee supposed to be about. If the band lost interest in it, fine, but is it that hard and expensive to fax/email to Mary tour dates, side projects etc. by the management company. In this age of record companies downsizing and cutting promotion staffs it seems almost irresponsible to cut off the one outlet that would get information out there. I'll keep on enjoying the music and having fun discussing the music with everyone on this list but even if a new fanclub was started I wouldn't join after seeing what just happened. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue X-Sender: tcharles@horta.zoology.uq.edu.au Date: Mon, 06 Oct 1997 09:25:38 +1000 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: "Tony G.

The song is to INXS what "Start Me Up" is to the Rolling Stones. There's nobody out there who hears it and doesn't immediately recognize the song iself and usually the fact that INXS sings it. It's scary to think that the song is now almost 15 years old (a 15 year old song in 1983 would have come out in 1968!!!!). So other then making me feel old, this song makes me feel great. The only time I was disappointed in it was when the band didn't play it in Sacramento on the 1994 tour. Every classic INXS show has to end with Don't Change. -Nick From: Violatiana@aol.com Date: Sun, 5 Oct 1997 22:01:42 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] in2xs Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu well said stazcy!!!!

She went above and beyond the call of duty and I thing she deserved more than she got. I'm know that the band and its management are in a transition period, but would it really have taken that much of an effort and investment to keep the fan club going? Thank you, Mary, for all you did - not for the band, but for the fans! As for Don't Change - one of my absolutely favorite songs! I sounds great live, even though it means that the show is over. Finally, from the point of view of a former record company person, I'm not sure what kind of message I would get from the lackluster sales of EW. When a band does a big tour, a couple of shows for VH-1 and has a song in a hit movie and still can't sell more than 200,000 albums (after having had multi-million selling albums), something is very wrong. There are many places to put the blame - the record company, the label, management, etc., but they're probably all equally responsible. I just hope that the band doesn't give up. Does anyone know anything about sales in other territories? I am pretty sure that the UK sales have exceeded quotas, so the band's contract should be fine... Dana P.S. Happy New Year to any other Jews on the list - shana tova!

Flame me is you must but I hope it will be read by all and responded to by all. Some may agree and some may not, C'est le vie! First off, I want to say I am a DEVOTED INXS fan. I have been in true awe of their never-ending diverse musical talents ever since I was given a a promo-copy of "INXS" (a local radio station didnt want it) back when I was 17, (oh yes Im up there in age) and that says alot since I am a "hip-hop junkie". I have had the honor to witness over 150 live preformances of INXS world-wide, counting 8 this recent tour. Still my passion and craving for their music never stops and never will. Now, I have quite few things that I would like to say. The most recent is on the fan club. I too, am sad to see it fold before the club ever began because despite what Martha Troop feels, (lets put blame where it belongs), INXS is a band that needs a fan club. INXS is no doubt fan-based band so I doubt seriously that no fan club was a band decision. I, being a fan, want to know the lastest news and feel somewhat "in-touch" with my all-time favorite band. ( I am sure many will agree with that.) I agree, faxing the lastest info isnt at all expensive or time comsuming when you are the sole manager and have X amount of staff working for you. HEY, each band member themselves could have sent in a fax of news they wanted to share----that would of been a nice touch. HELLO INXS- Is your manager working for you or is the band working for her? Your fans are out here and would at least like to know we are acknowledged with something as minor as a fanclub that would keep fans intouch with one another as well as each of you? Its not much to ask for. Next is the fan club itself, yes, I appreciate and can relate to Mary (and friends) Woods' hard work and dedication to the project. As for I too, 11 years ran a world- wide fan club. I had followed IN2XS from the start after hearing the proposal was delivered to the band and had eagerly awaited its debut. Although, I must admitt, a $25.00 fee was a bit steep for anyones pocket counting tix, CDs and other merchandise fans already purchase. It could have been done at 20% less the cost if it had been ran for free. (I would have ran it for free) I also cant help but wonder why only fans that attended concerts were asked to promote IN2XS? Is these the only places their fans reside? However, the "meet/greets" were very nice thanks/bribe/reward for any fan that helped promote the club. I have to admitt nearly genius......that had ever rarely been done. Next is the ever-not-so-loved MERCURY RECORDS. Besides management (P.C. and M.T. ) who are to blame for EW and tour promotion or lack of rather. We all know INXS is top-notch and has the fans to back them fully. Without letting every fan (not just the true devoted ones) know they are still here on tour and with a new CD obvioulsy sales all around were to be low. Too many that I came across were surprised to know there INXS had EW out or were even on tour. (now isnt that a trip) Even local stations where there was a preformance rarely played EW or mentioned a show. Except the choosen stations of course, that still greatly lacked in promoting the band. That was poor promotion and judgement on all management. Martha Troop please get on the ball. I, without doubt, have faith that you have the know how to bring INXS to any and all who want to hear them. SORRY Mercury, when you contracted INXS you did not just contract a name but a band and their world-wide fans! I have to say a WARM THANKS to INXS for another damn-good CD and kick-ass shows! To Neil for this list giving me a chance to voice my opinion and all fans, as myself, who have read this.

I didn't actually leave, but I took a break and just lurked for a while. Anyway, just some comments on a couple of good points Dawn put throught her post: > Now, I have quite few things that I would like to say. > The most recent is on the fan club. I too, am sad to see it fold before the > club ever began because despite what Martha Troop feels, (lets put blame > where it belongs), INXS is a band that needs a fan club. INXS is no doubt > fan-based band so I doubt seriously that no fan club was a band decision. I agree wholeheartedly here. I feel that the fan club wasn't given a chance. I'm sure if it continued and got enough advertising throughout the Australian tour, a lot of fans would join. Incidently, 3 of my friends were going to join when I showed them the stuff I got in the mail. On a side note : I take it that the folding of the club the main reason so many fans were not admitted backstage in the U.S. tours? As for INXS being a "fan-based band", this is particularly evident when Andrew told _The Australian_ newspaper that they would like to find out in what venues their Australian public would like them to play at before the Australian tour. Anyway, looking forward to the Australian tour (too bad there is only one Sydney show, but I'll survive). :) - Glenn X-Sender: marsland@mail-w.deakin.edu.au Date: Mon, 06 Oct 1997 16:49:27 +1100 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: Matthew Marsland Subject: Re: [INXS] in2xs Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu At 02:56 PM 5/10/97 -0700, you wrote: >The important question here is, what is this saying about the band? I'm >sure that they didn't sit around, plotting to ruin the fan club, but I >don't think that "purely economic" reasons could shut down the fan club >if they truly supported its work. I just want to clear something up, the band themselves in no way wanted the fanclub to end, the real problem is not their current manager Martha, so it's of new use sending her bad letters because she is a good person. The problem was Paul Craig (their manager they sacked a few weeks back), he has left the band in business terms in a financial mess, this is the reason the band is going off the road after the Australian tour to restructure their management. The fanclub thing WAS just economic, they just can't afford it because of what has happened. In a last ditch effort late last week Mary send a proposal to 3 of the guys plus their manager, offering for me to run it for free, but it was decided that it was best it closed now. It really is for the best, you would not believe the problems Mary has had to deal with over the last 3 years just to get it started. I think everyone should write to Mary (if you haven't already) and express their thanks for her great effort she put in! It's in no way Mary's, the band's or Martha's fault IN2XS is closing, if you want someone to blame it's Paul Craig, no one else. >Also, what does this say about what will be happening to INXS in the >future? We, as members of the fanclub, and some of their most loyal >fans, are really getting shafted. If the band and their management are >shutting down the fanclub, what else is being cut? What is going to >happen to INXS after all the publicity of EW is over? Is there going to >still be an INXS? It's not as bad as it may seem at first, pretty much the internet has replaced traditional fanclubs anyway, most of the services offered by a fanclub are offered on websites or even this mailing list. You get the latest news, you can write to people (ala penpal list), most of the topics which would be discussed in newsletters take place here or info on websites. If you still want "newsletters", there's Suz' What You Need' newsletter, and Lenny has his 'Same Direction' one in Brazil, anyone can just start their own un-official club if they wanted. As for an 'official' fanclub after this I would suggest you will NEVER see an official INXS fanclub again. As for the question will there still be an INXS, E.W. is only the first of a four album contract with Mercury, so unless they are planning on releasing 3 Greatest Hits albums, or attempting to break their contract early which would be difficult, I would suggest they will be together for a while yet. Early next year Michael's solo album will be released, then there is strong talk about Michael doing a movie, I don't think 1998 will be much INXS-wise, I doubt if the band even knows it's plans for next year. Just lastly I want to say, all you Australian fans on the list, I'll be sending your money back for fanclub membership as soon as Mary sends me autographed membership cards to send out to each of you. Anyone who ordered old backstage passes will still get them, and if you never got around to doing so, there is plenty left which you can still buy. Thank you to all those Australian members who had offered to help with flyers at the upcoming concerts also. Matthew.

As I said in another message, the internet has taken over from the traditional fanclub format anyway. If you want to be "in-touch" with all the latest news look at Neil's web site, virtually an on-line fanclub newsletter, bio, discography, pictures - just the same as a fanclub, you will still all get your autographed membership cards too, so really what's missing? I guess the chance to buy merchandise, maybe we could swing it so after the tour finishs that some left over items could be sold through Neil's site perhaps, just an idea. But most people would have brought the merchandise at the concerts am I right? Matthew.

No it had nothing to do with it. The reason fans were given passes to go backstage in the U.S. were so they could get the flyers to hand out, or meet the person in charge of handing them out, not for the purpose of meeting the band. However as it turned out most people got to meet the band which was great probably about 90%, it was not promosed you would meet the band or anything. There was only a couple of shows where fans missed out. Like I said in a previous message the reason the fanclub folded is because of Paul Craig, Paul Craig & Paul Craig. I've read some of you putting the blame on Martha, please don't as you will only succeed in pushing the band further away from the fans, and how do you expect her to approve any future projects if she's getting all negative mail when it's totally not her fault. She has to fix the problems caused by Paul Craig, which is what she is doing now, so please give her your support. I was going to give you all Paul Craig's email to complain to him but I better not :) Matthew. From: "Bischoff; Nicole L" To: "'inxs-list@iastate.edu'" Subject: RE: [INXS] Oasis?

But it seems that some people on this list are expressing the sentiment that the band, or should I say the management, are at fault. Maybe they are, who knows? But that's not the point. Someone said that because we buy their albums, tickets, etc we deserve a fan club in return. During the U.S. tour there were people who wrote angry posts because they handed out flyers at the shows and didn't get to meet the band as "promised." They got nothing in return. Why do we deserve anything? Isn't the music enough? I think INXS is one of the best, if not the best, groups in dealing with their fans. They acknowledge us and appreciate our support. They are relatively down to earth for "rock stars." And they give us great music. What more could we ask for? I know from experience that it's tough to run a small business with little financial support or interest from the public. With how low sales for EW have been, I'm not surprised that the fan club couldn't keep going without 3-4 times the members, as Mary said. You need a lot of time and energy, not to mention a real super-human dedication, to run a fan club this way. Should the management at Mercury been more supportive of IN2XS? I can't really answer that question. I wish Mary luck and hope all of you who run unofficial newsletters for the band keep it up through the good and bad times. I think we all should remember why we love INXS. We need to think of all the wonderful music and not ask what INXS should do for us. We need to think about what *we* can continue do for INXS.

It is sad that it did not work out. This list is still getting a lot of info out on the band, as the info that Matthew has shared above shows--thanks Matthew!! When the band can deal with their management and financial mess after the tour they may decide to form a club after all. I would also like to thank Martha for her hard work. INXS is not the only band that is having a hard time getting airplay and thus suffering in sales dispite promotion on VH1 and elsewhere. Other bands survive without official clubs but I agree that it would have been convenient to have one place to buy merchandise and get info. No group ,however, survives without fans. Let's put our hurt and dissappointment behind us soon and get on with supporting INXS and their music. After all, this is about the music!! I hope that someone comes forwards soon to administer this list so we can continue to share our love of INXS and the ways that their music touches our hearts,souls and our lives with each other. I am not angry with the band. In fact, I want to thank them for the wonderful music that they share with us and the gruelling North American tour that they just put on. They did a truly amazing job!!

Mary has done a wonderful job in promoting the band and the fanclub. It's a shame that the fanclub can't be for right now. It was good while it lasted though because I met some really cool INXS fans and the members from INXS. I told some fanclub members before the show at Philly that it would be cool if we could have a few INXS fanclub conventions. Even though there is no more fanclub, it would still be cool to have a convention and have people display their various collectibles and have trade/sell booths for shirts, 45's, 12", cds, etc. It sucks that Martha got hung in the middle of all the mess left behind by Paul.

I was more than unfair to Martha with my first opinion of my last post. However, if you read carefully, I did show faith in her capabilities as INXS manager. I do strongly believe that she can straighten everything out even if I am peeved about some things. And why can't I post my opinion to her.....she is their manager now, am I not correct? And yes, even I realized after the fact. That first statement should have been aimed more at Craig not at her directly. As for the rest of the post, it stands as said. I guess mostly I made that opinion be heard out of the sheer fact the American fans somehow get left out on many things with our favorite band .....ie: no singles released, have to search high and low for merchandise from over seas, etc, etc. I can't even get a hold of a poster for my daughter who also enjoys INXS after seeing them live being that the tour is over. (Of course NOW she wants a poster lol) Matthew, I can understand the point you are stressing and ever so why. Yet, I express my indifferences, even if its not what all would like to hear. I can accept if its not. I could have written a "cant we all just get along" post as well. However, I felt a little different. To many who have E-mailed me personally agreeing.....Thank you.

Nothing can should or could replace the "Personal Touch" to quote BASIA ".........Just to prove that human touch can have NO EQUAL!" INXS is a fan based group and not that they can and or will have the running of the club directly on their shoulders but promotion is a 2-way street with fans, records execs, the band, and POTENTIAL FANS all in the mix. I didn't even hear about their tour on old radio (staples Pre-Kick) days like WNEW, and WLIR. That says something about promotion. I hope that someone from Mercury gets the word and corrects those mistakes made here in the States and promotes INXS well in Australia.

She was US manager for Elegantly Wasted, and where did that get the band? Unlike Matthew, I'm still cynical that she'll prove any different from Paul... Sure she's been with the band for ages, but not at this level of responsibility.

Throw in a Michael Hutchence solo album or two, and a few b-sides and that's a lot of music. However I sense that as like Mercury stable mate - Def Leppard you'll get atleast another compilation or two which have very little for the fans of our calibre. So INXS is worth 40 million aye! Even with relatively poor sales of the current album, that's an impressive amount of dollars. Any wonder they won't be quitting for a while. I wonder if Mercury will even turn a profit out of that. Maybe I'm nieve though, maybe selling sub 1 million copies can still generate a bit of dough. I think most of Matthew's comments were on the mark regarding an official fan club anyway. I think the unofficial 'clubs' that exist are quite capable of surpassing any business oriented\official fan club anyway. The commitment of 'hardcore' fans like Neil etc, far outweighs anything that lots of dollars can swing. However, Matthew's information although enlightening still leaves me a little confused. With the management shift towards Martha Troup (the 'good' person) away from Paul Craig, I find it hard to understand that they can only sell 100 000+ albums in the United States which was Martha Troup's responsibility before the shift, supposedely?? It really says to me that when they made her head of the whole thing, she must have been doing a good job regardless of the worse than poor sales figures in the States - Is it the bands opinion that 100 000+ sales in the states is good and that 5 million for Kick was just a fluke. I read in one of the articles on Neil's site that INXS were actually unhappy with their UK sales, so I'm getting the impression that the band had expectations of Paul Craig that were not met while Martha Troup met their expectations and was hence rewarded with a 'promotion'. 'Financial Mess' - that's a very broad term, it doesn't really explain anything, how did he make a mess of millions. Has Paul Craig left INXS or their Management company with some type of several million dollar debt? Is this guy still working for them in some capacity, is there a court case pending? Did he not do his job or did he do it with little care for "dollar and some for dollar" economics". I think in general the promotion for this album has been relatively pretty strong, except where it counted, at the radio stations. In terms of a backward step, I think this album has made a small step forward from the huge fall from FMDH regardless of comparative sales figures, INXS hasn't sold a record in 3 years so this album is a welcome return to atleast scraping the top 40. As the official fan club has been axed, whoever made that decision is basically saying that there is not enough fans at present to support an accountants 'red pen fear' so he/she draws the line through the whole thing. And there are other means by which to sell INXS merchandise/albums etc. That's a judgment call and I ain't gonna put anything against that. So the band is in a state of restructuring, it really makes you appreciate the true size of a modern rock band, with all it's support staff etc. The band truly should be concerned with one thing and that is the music. I think the other aspect of the official fan club axing is that INXS obviously don't expect to return to the heady days of KICK and X when they were selling out stadiums and selling multi millions. I think an officail fan club is almost symbolic of such success. Maybe some of you out there have some answers out there and some other opinions.

To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Well, I've been keeping quiet, reading all of your posts for the last few days trying to figure out who is to blame for the demise of the fan club and the relative lack of commercial success of EW, especially in North America. I think we can point some degree of blame to just about everyone: PAUL CRAIG - for screwing the band financially and for his non-responsiveness to the concerns of fans. MARTHA TROUP - for being pretty much invisible here in the States. Somebody on this list has spoken with or met just about everyone involved with INXS except for Ms. Troup. That should tell you something. Who is she? Where has she been? MERCURY - for not releasing singles in the U.S. and not putting more pressure on MTV and alternative radio to promote the band. (Remember radio stations complaining they did not receive promo packages from Mercury for EW? They just got a CD in a plain brown wrapper. What gives?) If Aerosmith, the Stones and Depeche Mode can still get heavy rotation, then why not INXS? INXS - Yes, I think they should share the blame as well. They've been in the business for 20 years and should know who to work with and who to avoid. AND, (sorry for this one, folks), they've had four years to put out an album and they rushed into this one a little too fast. I love EW but the album production and song quality suffered due to overconfidence and an apparent lack of effort. And I repeat my question, it took four years to write words like "cherry baby" and "Burn, Burn, Burn" over and over again? No, it took two weeks and it shows. Cheers all around to the following people: MARY WOODS - for her tireless and thankless efforts. Enough can't be said for her dedication to the band and to all of us. NEIL KOTHARI - for designing and maintaining the truly "official" INXS website. Here we have a full-time student who has done a better job than the person at Mercury who is paid to do it. If it weren't for Neil, most of us would be clueless as to what is going on with INXS. INXS - for yet again staging one show-stopping performance after another. They never cease to amaze me. Truly the world's greatest live band!!! DANA - for keeping us informed during the early stages of the EW release. Of course, she got screwed by Mercury as well. Figures. Well, we can all keep our fingers crossed for the next 3 releases and Hutch's solo album. Basil Date: 7 Oct 97 13:19:19 -0700 Subject: Re: [INXS] WHO'S TO BLAME? From: "John A.

I've met and talked to Martha every time I've met INXS : Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and Toronto. I just don't post such things to the list because, well, it was rather uneventful. She's been on tour with the band during the entire US tour. Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think anyone is to blame.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I have in no way sainted Martha, her North American promotions defintely lacked intensity and were less than impressive. Neil, I totally agree with you. I do feel she knows what to do however, has stood back and not taken the problems into her own hands without the promotion. Surely, she(and the band) had to know that P.C. was making major mistakes. Or they are all too relaxed not worring about such things in the past as with MMA. Wondering who was looking out for the band during all this "financial mess"?? Personally, if someone was new into my franchise and in charge overall, I'd be watching my money. If I see another co-worker not doing a their job or making mistakes, not only do I speak up but take on the corrective responsibility long before theres really a problem without promotion.......It seems as everyone sat back like " thats Pauls' job." Whoops! MERCURY and management should have seen to hearty welcome back after the over-needed break...(we all agree) not at the level of kick that Basil mentioned but certainly with more enthusiasm than they did. No one put the pressure on MERCURY as before with Atlantic Recording Corp. For such a band, no matter who is invovled, everything surrounding EW wasnt well planned long before we came to this point without corrective steps that lead to the "finanical mess" Craig left. I still feel terriblely disappointed not only for us, the fans but for INXS as well, HEll of a 20th anniversary ya know. Sorry guys.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I, too, have been reading the posts of the last few days, with many thoughts in my head, and I agree with many of the comments that have been made. I, for one, am glad that we at least have this means to vent our thoughts and feelings with others who care for the band. Along with everyone I am very dissapointed about IN2XS. And I think the timing of this is so hard to accept. As one of the fans who originally helped deliver Mary's proposal, to the band, less than a month short of 3 years ago now, I have hoped for the club since that time. It was a long, rough road that sadly has come to this end. Mary has the gratitude of everyone of us for all her work and perseverence. But I agree with Kris Martin in that there is no point to laying blame. It may be true what was said about the financial mess left by P. Craig, but my thought is that so much goes on, that we on this side may never know. And maybe its best that we don't. Sometimes we feel we have rights as fans, but this IS only a hobby for us, be it a very important one to most of us. I think we have to accept certain things because there isn't much to do to change the situation anyway, either singularly or as a group. This isn't to say that you shouldn't ever try, but we need be realistic also. I, too, have met Martha, on more than one occasion, and she has been very pleasant to us. As I mentioned in an earlier post, everyone from the band, to the management, to the road crew were quite kind and generous. I know that the guys are very fond of her, and my thought is let's just keep our fingers crossed that she will do whats best for the band. And that the state of INXS' affairs will improve, not just for us as fans, but most importantly for the guys. As for Mercury, I'm still kind of baffled, but I'd like to keep a positive and optimistic viewpoint all the way around. We, here, will all stand by the band no matter, and its true that the band does care tremendously about what their fans think. Lastly, I have to agree (sadly so) with JAV that we may all love EW, but that doesn't mean the rest of the music listening public does. We've been through this enough, why isn't INXS as popular as the "old" days. There may be many reasons, but I feel it shouldn't matter to us. I think the guys accept it and we must too. Its the reality of the world we live in...people are fickle and like "whats in" and new. Besides some people wouldn't know true talent if it hit them in the face! We all know the incredible music that these 6 guys together have produced for 20 years! As we said goodbye to the guys in Philly, our final show on the tour, they told us they would be back.

INXS make decisions based on a lot of factors that we as fans know nothing about and we have to trust their judgement. Of course, they make mistakes but no one pays for them more dearly than they do personally. This is our hobby/obsession. . . it's their lives! And, I know that the band does tremendously about what their fans think. They've said so in person many times. And until the last couple of weeks, the band has been extremely receptive about the meet-and-greet at the shows. It's very unfortunate for those on the East Coast that it happened that they were in a lot of turmoil then but that's life. And, it's also very possible that the band will indeed endorse another fan club or reactivate this one at a later date when things are more clear for them. Being a fan has a lot to do with dedication and I think everyone on the list is upset but is also in this with them for the long haul. We just need to remember that when we're upset about the fan club or their lack of promotion here stateside. Music is a brutal business and they are not on the upside of things and probably never will be again. If that's what people are hoping for, maybe they better look into the Savage Garden then more seriously. And, yes Def Leppard has certainly suffered severely in these times with Mercury as well. But, ya know what, they do not have a band-endorsed fan club either! And they are just doing what they do best and not focusing on why every album can't be a Hysteria or a Kick. So, it's important that we concentrate on how to help them get as much as possible and quit worrying about why they aren't. INXS' management can't force radio stations to play them but we as listeners can. Sorry to rain on the flaming parade but I don't think it's band bashing time.

I wrote a long post to the list about 2 months ago explaining why INXS is getting ignored now. I think everyone tried the hardest to promote this album. They were on several TV show and here in So Cal, I heard them on 4 different radio stations in a 3 day span. The problem is the music industry. Most radio stations and MTV are only looking for the next big thing. Remember when we started listening to INXS, it was at least 10 years ago for the most of us. Look the age group that the radio stations that once played INXS are targeting. They are targeting the late teenagers. These children were New Kids fans. They don't know about INXS in their prime. So the radio stations want to promote these new bands such as No Doubt, Rage, Stone Temple, Bush, & many more one album wonders. I would also like to blame Mercury. I was one of the fortunate ones and got to attend the taping of "Everything". Since it will never be shown in the states, I have written Mercury twice asking for a copy of the video and have yet to receive even a reply back from Mercury. Where is the damn public relation department? By the way, didn't Mary do a better job than the old Arizona club. What did we ever really receive from that club.

My least favourite are the Linslee Campbell mixes, they have a male back up singer singing "you know you've got me Searching..", it's still better than any of those mixes that you can't even tell what song they are eg. Please.. and Not Enough Time re-mixes. Because of Paul Craig sacking I would assume, it's seems 'Searching' won't be released until next year in the UK even after someone said they played the videoclip on t.v. and was meant to be released on Sept 22nd. Maybe another country in Europe will release it soon, or in Australia when the tour takes place. Can anyone who saw the video describe it in anymore detail other than Michael walking through a city with Lara? I organised yesterday for a promo video to be sent to me from the UK, but that will be 2 or 3 weeks before I can describe it for you. P.S.

I refered to Martha as a 'good' person in terms of the fanclub, by no means is she a 'good' person in terms of promotion in North America in 1997, however saying that there has been more promotion in North America than anywhere else in the world. Also I think some people are confused their management is not Mercury Records, that is their Record Company, there is a difference. There is also a difference between the fanclub situation and the low sales of EW. >'Financial Mess' - that's a very broad term, it doesn't really explain >anything, how did he make a mess of millions. Has Paul Craig left INXS >or their Management company with some type of several million dollar >debt? I think you can just leave it at that 'Financial Mess', I have been a bit too truthful, there is no reason the list even needed to know this, but I wanted to shed some light on why they got rid of Paul Craig, and why the fanclub was knocked back because of financial reasons. But really are you interested in the bands music, or their Management's financial situation? There is only so much a fan should know and I've probably said too much already. As for a couple of other letters refering to comments I've made, I still stand by what I said regarding the internet making homepages redundant in the future. You know homepages can have a personal touch too, it's exactly the same as what is on a piece of paper, you can print it out if you want a paper newsletter. I don't recall actually saying everyone has a computer, I think you interpreted me saying traditional fanclubs will be made redundant as this, and as more and more people get computers it's better to be able to get the latest news daily than waiting 3 months for a newsletter in the mail. Having said this though it's possible for the internet to help traditional fanclubs too if you understand that comment. I never said everyone has a computer, but everyone in the future will need to get one, as is the case at schools here in Australian children who don't have computers are disadvantaged against those who do. I can also tell you that only 30% of fanclub members had an email account, so I'm well aware not everyone has a computer now, but that doesn't change what I say traditional fanclubs dying. Also someone directed a question to me to answer how many 'established' or new band didn't have a fanclub? Ahhh...how do you expect me to know? I couldn't care less if Oasis has a fanclub really, it WOULD be an official one, since they sue half their fans who try make web sites, so I imagine they would sue unofficial fanclubs too. I think I might of put too much blame on Paul Craig, I guess everyone is too blame, even the fans as it wasn't the biggest membership total afterall. Having said this there is no point blaming anyone at all, it just wasn't to be, and I personally believe most of the features of the fanclub are offered via computers, this pleases everyone who reads these messages, and I was trying to make people feel not as bad about the fanclub closing by saying this, but I realise people without computers miss out on this option as stated. But like I've said start your own fanclub magazine for these people, if you feel so strongly about a traditional fanclub. It's much easier to run an un-official club as you can do what you like, when you like. Lenny has a great 'Same Direction' newsletter in Brazil, Suz has 'What You Need' (will this be still running now that your web site is closing?), 'The Messanger' closed down few months back, and I'm not sure if 'Communication' is still running, don't think so. Here in Australia between 1989-93 there was a unofficial fanclub called 'What You Need' too, this was run by Giselle Myers and this made the official club look so second rate. So I would love to see a number of people start their own club, I'll join them all, there you have one member already :) However if a few newsletters started, I wouldn't like to see everyone just copy everyone else's newsletters for ideas, as this is what happens with web pages (eg. Read the message on Suz INXS page as the reason it's closing). Matthew. X-Sender: tcharles@horta.zoology.uq.edu.au Date: Wed, 08 Oct 1997 15:36:31 +1000 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: "Tony G.

Yes, these are all things that figured into the equation. But, we still will have INXS music coming in the future. That is all that is important to me. I was beginning to think that this was IT for the band. That they would just quit and leave with a bad taste in their mouth.

My only hopes are that they continue to keep the *passion* of making music without having everyone ruin it. We already know, that INXS keeps making music regardless of how many albums they sell, that was apparent in FMDH, so let's just sit back and enjoy whatever contributions we get from INXS...I still plan on supporting my band in any way I can. This will include attending as many concerts as I can afford, buying all the albums, "Searching" for the singles unavailable in the U.S., and requesting radio-play-time. INXS- Forever...

We all love this album, perhaps because we're all die-hard INXS fans, but maybe the rest of the world doesn't love it like we do. The big killer was lack of radio airplay, but whose fault is that? Radio certainly wants to play the stuff that people want to hear, but perhaps no one but us called radio stations to tell them how much we love it. So, maybe the public just doesn't love it. I certainly do. >> I think there's always a market for good music, but right now, INXS are not "cutting edge enough for America. Look what's getting the airplay and selling here (and probably everywhere else): Hanson, The Spice Girls, Oasis (yes, I've listened to their music and hate them not just because they're anti-INXS). This stuff is just not original, but it's what the public "wants" right now. I think that last part of EW is some of the most original material INXS has ever done. Hopefully there will be a backlash to all this insipid music and they'll release some of INXS' more adventurous stuff so it can get some attention. MTV and radio, for the most part, are not playing INXS, and that's why the album's not succeeding in that respect. I'll still call the radio station and request EW and DLYH whenever I can, no matter how many times they resort to playing New Sensation instead.

I'm one of those New Kids children (though not in my late teens), and I think that INXS still has a place in the radio station's target audience. The problem is that these stations are *not playing* INXS, thus few even know that they are still making music. In my experience, I have found that bands like No Doubt and Bush (two bands that I *do* like) have even younger fan bases than the late teens. They listen to the radio stations that once played INXS, kids who are 12, 13, 14 and usually don't want to spend their allowance on CDs when they'll just like something new next week. Bands like those you mentioned have that short-term appeal, while INXS have been around for a long time and will continue to be around (let's hope). We see EW as part of the big picture. These kids don't. If they "kinda like" EW the single, they aren't going to buy the whole CD, let alone delve into the past to see what else INXS has done. Side note: I wouldn't classify Stone Temple Pilots as a one-album wonder, and they certainly don't have that appeal anymore. STP (if there even is an STP anymore) has changed their sound dramatically and still aren't at the popularity level of "Core." Now they are this "thing" called Talk Show with a new vocalist who sounds painfully like Liam Gallagher...anyway.

I think I got about an equal number of people agreeing and disagreeing with me on my points. First of all, allow me to thank the people who pointed out my factual error regarding Martha Troup. I hadn't realized that so many of you knew her or had met with her personally. (Although you all were pretty quiet before....) I realize that many of you feel that we shouldn't point fingers or assign blame, rather look ahead and not worry about the past. This is beautiful optimism, but hardly works in the real world. If we don't learn from past mistakes, who's to say we won't have the same problems over and over again? Here are some of the problems they could face if they don't take some corrective measures: 1. It's possible their contract with Mercury calls for a sales quota. If it's not met, they could lose their contract, and you can forget about 3 more albums. 2. If they continue to neglect singles releases and larger promotions in the U.S., then more and more Americans will simply forget that INXS is even still together. Not to mention the frustration that we dedicated fans in the U.S. have at getting copies of singles, b-sides and live recordings. 3. If they don't hire a responsible, aggressive worldwide management team, then any hard work they put into an album or touring is wasted. I don't think they can afford another manager who ruins their financial situation. 4. Losing the MTV audience, which is pretty much suicide. 5. I realize that INXS doesn't need to bend over for the critics, but I think putting out an entirely original album of high standard material might help re-establish their credibility as artists. Go ahead and flame me if you wish, but songs like "Everything", "DLYH" and "Girl On Fire" may be pleasant or fun, but really don't give a non-INXS fanatic a reason to run out and buy the album. INXS may have nothing to prove to you or me, but to millions of people around the world who still think "X" was their last release, they have PLENTY to prove. Sorry if you don't like any of the above, but it's just how I feel. You know what else? I write way too much! So for now, I'm done.

The situation can be viewed as "You did this" and "He did that" or "Okay, there's a problem.

If you put a songinto a heavy rotation and some kind of (M)TV promotion a "trash" song will be on top. Here, in Brazil there are a group called "E o Tchan" and a teen double called "Sandy & Junior" that just play rubbish, and they sell one-two million copies per album, releasing two albums per year. The recipe? Heavy rotation and well doned promotion at TV, Newspapers and Radio. I think that Polygram/Mercury should protect his investiment in the guys and make a better protion of EW. For Example: last week, exactly 5 months after EW's release, they put a full-page interview with Michael (made in Miami) talking about the "new album JUST released". Is this correct? How they want to sell albums BEGGINING to promote it five months after its release? I think that Craig and Troup are ALSO responsables for that, because INXS is a WORLDWIDE band. Here, in South America, if you ask someone about aussie bands they will say: INXS and Midnight Oil. In Argentina, they loved as music gods. As much that I say, EW did not fail in many countries. Why? Because people love INXS. Oh, and that promotion had to be done when EW was in radio, because Everything here is only a MTV single that plays everyday, is true, but AFTER MIDNIGHT! When Everything debutted, it was played at afternoon and at night, ok. But it was released two weeks before Face/Off debut at the cinemas. Why not DLYH instead of Everything? Why not play DLYH at the movie ads at TV? Face /Off was promoted here by the major radio station here, 89FM, why not play DLYH and say that INXS is the band playing it and it is on their new CD? Because there aren't persons of influence working at Mercury to make the necessary lobby. Jon Bon Jovi arrived today to promote his CD, he will be at some TV programs doing interviews, will make a closed show to press and special people in Rio de Janeiro's Rock in Rio Cafe and a small participation at a soap opera. Why not INXS? Alanis Morissette also did it and sold almost 800.000 here. The media is a powerful weapon that is not being used correctly by Mercury and the management. INXS is tottaly innocent here, music is their life, they are doing that wonderful songs that we all love, making wonderful shows and we, fans will ALWAYS love then. But I still hope in a turn around and this album selling millions as Kick. Sorry if some one that read this mail feels offended and if there are any mistakes here.

By this i mean trying to be themselves and at the same time change for the market. People do their best when they are doing something they enjoy not something they are "forced" to do Actually i do really like EW although i must admit i do skip through Everything and sometimes IJAM why the hell was everything released as a single anyway especially after EW. I think it confused alot of people who expected the rest of the songs on the cd to be like EW but then Everything came along and as one friend of mine put it "you can't tell if they are coming and going -- there is too much variety. they really should just stick to the EW, SHake the Tree, Girl on fire kind of songs" I agree with her anyway thats just my opinion Can't wait until 1st December although i am dissapointed that they are playing indoors.

Really I think it all just boils down to the nature of the business. Every band has one REALLY big album, their own "Kick" that just hits it really big and sells millions. Each single they release gets constant heavy rotation and they fill huge stadiums. Then these bands release their next album, and, while it's still popular, it in no way approaches the sales or success of the "big" album--like "X". The follow up tour is usually successful, but the singles aren't as heavily played. Then, with each subsequent release (if the group in question is even still together) sales drop and drop and drop...in spite of the music being better on each album. You see this time and again. Take Stone Temple Pilots. Core was big and set up Purple, with huge tours and constant airplay, but Tiny Music, though musically better, saw a significant drop in sales and now STP no longer has "street cred". Live is another example. Throwing Copper was a MASSIVE success, and Secret Samahdi is successful, too, just not as successful as Copper. Throwing Copper was their "Kick", and Samahdi is their "X". I guarantee you their next album will not be as successful. I'm sure No Doubt will release a new album soon. It will be successful...just not AS successful as...well, you get my point. People just want to hear something "NEW", and that means by NEW bands, not new records by old bands. Anybody remember the Spin Doctors? Well, Pocket Full of Kryptonite was huge, but with each subsequent album sales dropped and their record label DROPPED them last year. I've been hearing a current song on the radio that sounds JUST like them; I can't remember the name or who it's by, but it sounds the same. Had that song been done by the Spin Doctors, do you think it would get airplay? Nope. People want new BANDS, not new MUSIC. What about (and I know this sounds silly bringing them up; I am just using them as examples so don't waste your time commenting on how bad these bands are) Warrant, Slaughter, and Poison? Did any of you know that THEY are still together, and releasing albums? Well, I heard Poison only recently got back together with CC Deville (cant write that without snickering) to make a new record. My point is that NOBODY knows they have new music out, just like INXS. It may even be good, as far as we know, but nobody KNOWS. There are (VERY) few exceptions to my theory, namely the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith and Janet Jackson. They've just got such a high standing in the industry that anything they do will sell. I used to count U2 up there, but the reason they stayed relevant was because they had such a complete change from The Joshua Tree to Achtung Baby and marketed it so well that it was a success. But Pop was a carbon copy of Achtung Baby and has not been as successful, so who knows if their next album will do well. But I've also been optimistic that each group has a "comeback" album. After years of obscurity after amazing success the band has an album that recaptures past glory. The band that fits most of all here is Duran Duran. Talk about obscurity during the late eighties and early nineties. Then The Wedding Album comes out with the single Ordinary World and, bam, they're back on their way to the top (or at least in the public concsious again). I was expecting EW to be for INXS what The Wedding Album was for DD, but I was wrong. I do believe INXS will have an album that will be successful and recapture the attention of the public. It's just the way the business works. It's like, "Hey! I remember these guys! They're great!" At the same time I'm concerned because EW wasn't it; it was primed for being a comeback album (comeback in the sense of it bringing the group back into success). A few other points: 1) I am very concerned about the sales of EW, primarily in the U.S., and I think all fans should be, too. I'm not talking about overlooking their music for the sales dollar, here. It's done better elsewhere, but certainly Mercury had a sales quota, and 145,000 units sold does not, I think, meet that quota. That is cause for huge concern, for all involved. Fans who dismiss sales as not being important should reconsider because the band could get dropped (see what happened to the Spin Doctors--and don't waste time comparing or dissing that band; I'm talking strictly sales here). Too bad nobody knows the sales figures for other countries, so we'd really know where they stand. But to all fans, and the band, too, this is a big concern; this isn't about popularity, it's about survival. 2) The big "FINANCIAL MESS" that's been brought up is also a big concern. Whatever the details are, this worries me, because it ties into the survival theme. When I hear the term "financial mess", I think of the band being broke; bankruptcy. That's what that means to me. Big problem. Hopefully if it affects the band members personally they have invested their money wisely over the years and can weather this without losing all of their hard earned money. 3) Mercury certainly didn't do it's share in promoting the band or the album. Definetly not in America, that's for sure. You would think after signing them for $20 million or whatever it was they'd give a little big harder push to recoup their investment. Aren't they the label Hansen is on? If so, I'd bet they got distracted from INXS becase MMMBop came out as a single the same time EW did. Can we really blame Mercury for making such a choice, if it came down to that? Can you think of any other group primed for blinding success like Hansen? The cold hard truth is that this is a BUSINESS, and profits are what drives business. I don't like it anymore than anybody else. 4) Whatever happened with Paul Craig, I don't think we should very much blame the management team, as far as promotion. The band made several appearances on radio and TV shows thanks to the management team. And do you think Martha just sat around doing nothing all summer? I think she tried hard, but just couldn't get a response out of radio, TV, etc. What was she supposed to do? Like someone else said, hold them at gunpoint? 5) While I don't like the fact that singles were not released in America to buy, I understand the reasoning behind it: To encourage people to buy the ALBUM, not the single. 6) INXS should, and needs to, tour South America. From what I've heard, fans there have been amazingly loyal and the band should repay that by touring there. Regardless of their "financial mess", a tour there would no doubt be successful enough to be worth it. Anybody know the sales figures for EW in South America? I heard FMDH sold something like 500,000 copies there (am I right?) That's a GOLD record in the U.S., it must be triple platinum there. Having said all this, I hope the band sticks with making music THEY want to make. They're a great band and hopefully their next album will be the success we've ALL been waiting for.

This chart is compiled by Channel [V], one of the two (or is it three?) Pay-TV music stations in Aus. I think this means it's the 9th most popular video request, which would be surprising, but cool nonetheless. I've also seen the TV ad for the upcoming tour.

Long time no Email! >I think that Polygram/Mercury should >protect his >investiment in the guys and make a better protion of EW What Polygram Brazil says is that INXS SIMPLY DOES NOT SELL RECORDS! Sad but true. I have been trying to support INXS in this fight but now I don't put further energy on this. It was in vain to have appoinments w/the Polygram stuff over + over again since my voice has never been been heard. I met INXS in person in Mar 94 and adviced Kirk Pengilly myself that INXS promotion in Brazil needed to be changed. And I am sure they could notice that as their lack of audience their gig at the Flamengo stadium (only 3,000 people). If someone envolved w/the INXS management see this note, please that notice and actions. >How they want to sell albums BEGGINING to promote it five months after >its >release? Simple to answer. They tought that INXS was coming to So Am this year and started to promote the album. Otherwise, another lack of audience! >I think that Craig and Troup are ALSO responsables for that, >because >INXS is a WORLDWIDE band. Of course they are! But what happens when INXS comes here? The local prometer give a untrue picture of the INXS popularity in So Am so they think INXS does well in this region. >In Argentina, >they >loved as music gods.

Since 1984, when "Original Sin" was released as an 7", it went nbr 1 + Polygram Arg has always trusted INXS and payed a lot of attn to them. That good! At least we can say that the sextet is popular in So Am. The fact that Polygram Brazil does not promote INXS the way it has got to be makes me mad but I know it is never going to change so I don't concern about that anymore. *** Forwarding note from I2683318--IBMMAIL 09/10/97 04:10 *** Date: Wed, 08 Oct 1997 23:14:03 -0300 From: Danilo Meira To: inxs-list@iastate.edu, Leonardo Elias Subject: Flames are burning (was: Re: [INXS] WHO'S TO BLAME?) John A. Vink wrote: > Radio certainly wants to play the stuff that people want to hear I think that radio certainly plays the stuff that they want us to hear. If you put a songinto a heavy rotation and some kind of (M)TV promotion a "trash" song will be on top. Here, in Brazil there are a group called "E o Tchan" and a teen double called "Sandy & Junior" that just play rubbish, and they sell one-two million copies per album, releasing two albums per year. The recipe? Heavy rotation and well doned promotion at TV, Newspapers and Radio. I think that Polygram/Mercury should protect his investiment in the guys and make a better protion of EW. For Example: last week, exactly 5 months after EW's release, they put a full-page interview with Michael (made in Miami) talking about the "new album JUST released". Is this correct? How they want to sell albums BEGGINING to promote it five months after its release? I think that Craig and Troup are ALSO responsables for that, because INXS is a WORLDWIDE band. Here, in South America, if you ask someone about aussie bands they will say: INXS and Midnight Oil. In Argentina, they loved as music gods. As much that I say, EW did not fail in many countries. Why? Because people love INXS. Oh, and that promotion had to be done when EW was in radio, because Everything here is only a MTV single that plays everyday, is true, but AFTER MIDNIGHT! When Everything debutted, it was played at afternoon and at night, ok. But it was released two weeks before Face/Off debut at the cinemas. Why not DLYH instead of Everything? Why not play DLYH at the movie ads at TV? Face /Off was promoted here by the major radio station here, 89FM, why not play DLYH and say that INXS is the band playing it and it is on their new CD? Because there aren't persons of influence working at Mercury to make the necessary lobby. Jon Bon Jovi arrived today to promote his CD, he will be at some TV programs doing interviews, will make a closed show to press and special people in Rio de Janeiro's Rock in Rio Cafe and a small participation at a soap opera. Why not INXS? Alanis Morissette also did it and sold almost 800.000 here. The media is a powerful weapon that is not being used correctly by Mercury and the management. INXS is tottaly innocent here, music is their life, they are doing that wonderful songs that we all love, making wonderful shows and we, fans will ALWAYS love then.

But there are also a big number of countries like Peru or Colombia where the band have never been before.At least in my country...Peru...the band is expected to play here since the Rock In Rio II 1991.....you know concert promoters sometimes talk and talk.....but now here I know some of them who would like to produce the INXS show in PEru. The band has right now a heavy rotation video in MTV Latino....DLYH....by the releasing of Elegantly Wasted..the EW single-video was at the #1 spot on MTV Latino Top 20 one month long. There are some many reasons why INXS has to play in southamerica early next year.Maybe taking part of Hollywood Rock...a big Festival in BRazil with U2 as headliner this year...and 4 or 5 big names joinnin U2 on the Fest.

I still haven't weeded out the multiple email addresses I have. I've been reading everyone's comments and concerns about the demise of IN2XS and I want to thank you all again for the kind words and support you've shown me personally. I am saving and printing out your messages, debates and opinions and sending them to management so she can read what your thoughts and concerns are. Makes for a good read, I tell 'ya! If there's anyone else who is a paid member who would prefer getting a grab bag of INXS goodies in place of their money back, please email me immediately. I have to wind this up in the next couple days (by Monday, Oct 13). Some of the items you may receive: Vinyl albums, 12" and 7" vinyl singles, cassette tapes, cd's, backstage signs from the X tour, guitar picks, magazine articles, promo photos, autographs, backstage passes, a little bit of this and a little bit of that (sorry, you can't request certain items, just believe I will send you interesting stuff for your collection). Email me at either: or Thanks, Mary PS: Look for a couple of contests in the near future to give away some of the choicier items from the stuff in my office. PPS: To clear up one debate, while it's true that approx 30% of the paid members gave me an email address, when I sent the message out a full 30% of those were returned to me as undeliverable or nonexistent. So this means the vast majority of members do not have either computers/email/internet access and these people don't even know yet the fanclub is over. I think we in the email world assume we are omnipotent but the facts are we are definitely the minority. There are many many more fans in the world who have no other means of communication than receiving the printed page and I really feel bad for them. Sorry to blow a hole in the theories but I think we tend to be a bit smug about ourselves and how we rule the world of communication (and of course we do, ha ha)! My humble opinion of course.

Indoor Venues I saw INXS twice outside and twice inside for this tour. I had a great time at all venues. The York show had to have been the best outside show I went to. The weather was great (low-mid 80's F) and the crowd was quite receptive. The band was enjoying themselves. The York, Pa show was a fairground so I had to stand on a dirt track when they performed but it was great. The Pittsburgh show was not as favorable. It was only 70 degrees F and it got really cold at night( ~ 50 degrees F). The venue itself was nicer than the York Fairgrounds as far as drinks and food but I was not as close as I was at the York show. The Philadelphia crowd was not as energetic as the Washington DC crowd. They actually sat down during Searching and one other slower song. Me and a fanclub member couldn't believe it. It was kind of sad that the audience only new the older stuff so PLEASE know EW before you go to the show. By the time I got to the Philly show, I could tell that Michael was slightly annoyed by people not knowing the EW material. He made a statement to the effect of not a lot of people must have EW but encouraged people to go purchase it. I wasn't guilty of the OLD STUFF syndrome (only knowing pre-EW songs, that is), I knew the songs :) Karen P.S. When I get my hands on a scanner and get my photos from Pittsburgh developed, I hope to post them to the net or create a small home page with the pics from that show and York on it.

You have just touched on the 1,000,000,000.00 thought of the day. The way we are all talking about INXS finances and management maybe we ought to run things?

Lousy time slot, but at least I can be certain INXS will be played. My station does have a copy of EW, but refuses to play it. For some reason the station manager hates INXS. That's what I was told by a fellow DJ. We're only allowed to play "What You Need." One Song!!! Yet, they allow Led Zeppelin every stinkin' hour! I think it's the radio manager's that have to hold part of the blame for lack of radio air play. That's only from my own observation. Most radio station's that I have dealt with personally & professionally, although they may calim to be all-request", really aren't. They may have 1-3 open slots an hour to throw in a request. Or, for me, I'll play INXS over a request for the Allman Brothers Band any day. If I have the boys lined up, I won't change it for someone's request, especially if I don't like what the listener has requested. Yeah, DJ's share blame, too. But, I'm sure Led Zeppelin can be spared once in a while for other bands, especially those with new releases that deserve air play. I'm sure everyone can recite Stairway To Heaven in their sleep, why play it ten times a day? INXS should have that kind of air play. Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I thought I should voice my opinion.

To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu In my opinion, I believe the the single Elegantly Wasted was received very favorably by radio. I know that in Boston and in NY it was played pretty regularly. I think that radio and the public definitely were giving INXS a chance. The main problem was that the first single was not followed up in the US by a second single. EW hit radio at the end of March. (?) and many people started to like it. A second single should have followed shortly thereafter to keep the momentum going and give people a reason to buy the album. Instead, there was no single from INXS until spring with "DLYH" and that didn't go over to well because there was such a lag. INXS was long forgotten by then and that's what killed everything. Mercury or whoever sat around for too long and blew the great chance that they had. I honestly thought that things were looking really good for a while. I'm just so frustrated because the stage was perfectly set for INXS to make a huge comeback. I wish Mercury would properly release another single and give it a good push. Better late than never.

I think so too, but only from listening to radio. Certain DJs have their favorites and play them ad nauseum. That can only explain why they play Tesla (remember them?) every hour during a certain DJ's shift every day. >But, I'm sure Led Zeppelin can be spared once in a while for other >bands, especially those with new releases that deserve air play.

Although I'm a Zep fan, they do play a little too much on the classic rock stations here, and not very much variety. I think that "Stairway" should only be played about once a week. That way everyone doesn't start hating one of the best songs every recorded, IMO.

I usually just flip past Mtv here, since they never play music. I heard they're calling themselves the animation station. So much for music television. Personally, I don't think the newer version is that great. The Face Off version was much better. So I feel you really aren't missing out on much. Good luck trying to find it on Mtv or even VH1.

Another reason for the above is if someone wants to buy as a 'job-lot' and take all, or a major amount of the INXS items. BTW - reason for selling? - Saving for deposit on a house with my fiancee! Here's the list of INXS stuff I have for sale. I also have a few promo posters, tourbooks (AUS) and some other gear. Email me for more info on this. There are some really rare stuff in this auction that I hope catches your eye, eg DEKADANCE (AUS), the remix promo album with 12" versions from The Swing; and Ecco-Homo, featuring Mike on vox. Great track too! Over the years I have really tried to collect all of INXS' b-sides and 12" mixes, and I think I have most of them for sale here. The condition of the items in this auction: Unless otherwise stated, all items are in absolute *mint* condition, covers, vinyl, cd, etc. only played a maximum of twice (or not at all in many cases!!!) and then filed away in a safe place, each in a acid-free polybag standing upright and supported accordingly. (This is for the collectors out there, like myself!) MINI-AUCTION RULES: standard Internet auction rules apply; ie items can be withdrawn without notice, bid offers do not include postage/insurance (to be negotiated after close of sale), bid raises of 50 cent increments are only accepted (ie .50c/$1/$1.50....) This mini-auction will be run on a ONCE, TWICE, SOLD format, with the weekend as a count.

As with most INXS b-sides, it is pretty cool. This is definitely what I would call punk rock. The song was written by the band. Michael is definitely singing and the rest of the band is obviously there, by the sounds of all the instruments. Getting a copy is not easy. I only found my copy this year! Try to find the Deluxe label (a minor of RCA). It's also an AUS release, the b-side to Just Keep Walking. This is pre-CD, so look for a 7" vinyl cut. Anyway, the song is the perfect b-side for JKW. -Nick From: "sharon wolstenholme" To: Subject: [INXS] INXS Ticket..Melb.show...

I got to Ticketek in the Myer Centre (centre of the city) at 8:00am and there were two (count 'em two) whole people in the line at that stage. Tony from the list who'd I'd arranged to meet up with and one other. By the time the ticket booth opened at 9:00am, there was a whole 12 people there (including Tony and myself). Pretty abismal I thought. I must say that the concert has been very poorly advertised. I have not heard one ad on Triple M - a major sponsor of the concert, only a couple on TV, and one ad each in this Sunday's and last Sunday's paper.

This will be the last message I send about this, I promise! If there's anyone else who is a paid member who would prefer getting a grab bag of INXS goodies in place of their money back, please email me immediately (in case you don't know, IN2XS is folding and closing it's doors). Some of the items you may receive: 12" and 7" vinyl singles, cassette tapes, cd's, backstage signs from the X tour, guitar picks, magazine articles, an autographed B&W band photo, autographed cards, postcards, backstage passes, original art prints, a little bit of this and a little bit of that (sorry, you can't request certain items, just believe I will send you interesting stuff for your collection. And unfortunately we do not have tshirts or hats). If you prefer getting a refund or your check returned, please let me know. Refunds may take 6-8 weeks. Email me at either: or Please don't forget to include your name and address. By the way, 99% of those asked already would rather have a goody bag than their payments returned, so supply will be limited. Act now! If you've already responded, no need to again.

I just spent my day in a 3 hour train trip each way (but it was worth it). Anyway, the tickets cost $32 each and approx 400 hundred tickets were sold by midday today. What really disappointed my friend and I is that we didn't see any INXS promo posters were posted around (or outside) the club! We brought our tickets and decided to get a peak of "Auditorium 1" as were printed on the tickets. The venue room was _huge_ for all you Sydney goers out there, it's bigger than the Hordern Pavilion! There are no seats for this venue and it's also an over 18 gig. After this we stopped off for lunch somewhere (after booking a room for the concert night), Don't Lose Your Head was playing on a local radio with an ad for the show afterwards. Anyway, today really got me excited about the Newcastle Show, and I am *REALLY* looking forward to it...

Cheers, Bruno A. -------- Daily Illini, 04/18/97 Elegantly Wasted Mercury records Diversions Story by Ryan Suffern, 04/18/97 4 out of 5 With the release of their new album Elegantly Wasted, INXS attempts to remain one of the few 80s bands still thriving in the midst of the ever-changing music scene of the 90s. In order to recover from the disappointment of their last album, 1993's Full Moon Dirty Hearts, the members of the band took the last few years off and pursued individual enterprises. Now with a new record company and a new manager, INXS has returned to make one of their strongest albums in their nearly 20-year career. Elegantly Wasted contains a unique blend of sounds. The band builds upon their past created style while integrating new and innovative sounds. The title track is classic INXS with its choppy guitar riffs and its obscure pop lyrics, but the album is not confined to any single characteristic. It is a personal album as the themes of longing and self reflection are revealed in such songs as "Searching" and "I'm Just a Man." Many of the 12 songs on this album definitely sound familiar to past INXS albums. For instance, the song "Everything" sounds like it should be an outtake from 1995's Listen Like Thieves, yet it, along with the other songs, fits perfectly with this album and creates a fresh mix of old and new. Lead singer and songwriter, Michael Hutchence recently stated, "Whenever we make good albums we are a happy band." If this is the case, INXS has all the reason to be happy and so do their fans with the new album Elegantly Wasted. ------- New York Post You've probably seen this one, but here it is anyway ... The tough, Aussie outfit INXS has remained a cohesive band even after frontman Michael Hutchence became an international sex symbol a few years back. That sense of band unity is evident on its new 11-song disc that runs the range from shrieking U2-like pop -- as on the title track, "Elegantly Wasted" -- to the seductive, blue-eyed soul found on a few tracks, the best being "I'm Just a Man." In the latest chapter of the INXS files, the band is intact, without personnel changes. In spite of the pressure for big production and bigger promotion, INXS members buck the music industry and play here as if they're doing it for fun, not money. It's pretty shocking stuff, but this attitude has led the band to play the intimate Irving Plaza Thursday night rather than book one of the larger, impersonal halls. Although the big '80s anthemic rock of "New Sensation" is gone, this Aussie band has wisely traded it in for electro funk that peppers much of "Elegantly Wasted." There are a couple of oddities, such as "We Are Thrown Together," that carry a decidedly non-INXS East-meets-West arrangement. But in spite of its minor flaws, INXS has created a sweaty, sexy collection of rock that allows Hutchence room to breathe heavily and passionately about life, living and love. -------- Neo/Sounds: INXS Concert Preview -------- Linda Tresham's House of Magazines - INXS She has/had some INXS-related magazines for sale.

According to the DJ, LLT was released on Oct 14, 1985 and debuted at number 1 in Aus. It stayed in the Australian charts for 81 weeks, and over 3 million copies have been sold worldwide. Also, the DJ mentioned that some guy in California has a V6, alcohol- powered 'sand railer' (sand buggy?) which covers 100 yards in 3 seconds! And the name of this machine? INXS! Later, Bruno A.

But hold your hats , not for just one show but two shows. This is the good news, however i think i should shed some light on the promotion of this tour by the radio station PMFM 92.9. I mean these guys are absolute jokes. For a start they have not yet played DLYH or Everything. Secondly , the add contained only snippets of 4 different songs,one of which was played twice (in ISAM where Hutchy sings "SHE'S MY ONLY ONE!). I mean come on, only 4 songs of a 20 year history with hits in almost every one of these years. Savage Garden's add is much more profesional which is another joke considering the amount of INXS music they have used in the past to promote their station. Last but not least they advertised the concert date as the 5th of NOVEMBER instead of December.I nearly hit the roof.Anyway i was in such a state that i had a go at the DJ at the time when it really wasn't his fault. Consequently the add was not changed and it took a more diplomatic effort of mine to ensure that they would change it. I haven't heard the add since so i dont know what they have done about it. I know of 3 people who were very relieved when i told them that the station had made a mistake, because they were not able to attend in November due to exams. I shutter to think how many others are under the wrong impression. XSINner Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 12:45:41 +1000 (EST) From: Valor To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Sydney show tickets..

In the Adelaide interview he spoke about how five of them live in Australia now , his brother lives in Adelaide and has a band called Coo and Kirk suggested that the band should call their album ee or was it we?? it probably doesn;t make sense to nonaustralians (cooee) I thought that was vey funny He also spoke about how commercial success wasn't as important as just knowing that the band had done their best that was about all he said although the interviewer did ask whether they get bored of some songs, The interviewer used a JKW as an example. Kirk's reply: Well we're not playing that one Vic you know the thing that really got me was the fact that he said g'day I love guys that say g'day!!!!

When i subscribed they emailed me a huge list of does and don'ts but the first mail i got violated all those rules That list is in digest formatt and i just have to say i like this system much better, maybe its because i can't sit down in front of the computer for too long, so with this method i can read some emails and come back later to read the rest. Its nearly impossible to do that with a digest (well it is for me). Kind of like stopping in the middle of a long email I was just thinking of a reason why INXS sales have been down the last couple of years (forgive me I'm a psychology student) Listening to Kirk this morning i realised how Australian he sounded. It's not just Kirk but the rest of the band (well except Michael). I think that because the latest INXS music is not as Australian. This means that there is a disagreement between the kind of music INXS plays and the image the band members give out esp during interviews. I hope this is making sense to people (it was a 2 1/2 hr journey home from Uni so this is what I came up with during that time) Before Kick people knew who they were but didn't really know WHO they are as individuals (okay some did but you must admit the general public really started to take notice when Kick was released). So when Kick and prior albums were released there wasn't a disagreement. Oh great now i am trying to remember that theory which would make this sound credible. It would be really interesting to see (not that its possible) what the album sales would be like for INXS albums after 1990, if they weren't done under the name INXS. Just a group no-one had ever heard of before. and again i say this is just a theoy from an insane psyc student Vic From: "Bischoff; Nicole L" To: "'inxs-list@iastate.edu'" Subject: RE: [INXS] INXS/Jeopardy Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 09:03:49 -0400 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu that's so odd you said that....we have the board game at home and they were a question there too!

But I've always insisted that had the last three albums been released by a new band other than INXS, they'd all be smash hits we'd always hear non-stop. It goes back to MY theory: That the public wants new BANDS, not new MUSIC. So much music today is just recycled styles and ideas. You'd think that older bands would have better success in this type of climate, but they haven't, really. But an older band like INXS gets a reputation for being...well, older, and people want something "fresh", "new", "cutting edge", and no matter how cutting edge an older band tries to be (with notable exceptions), people can't open up to them like they can a No Doubt, the Wallflowers, or Live.

But with Michael, it's usually a false perception, and he's usually being tongue-in-cheek. Michael doesn't spit on fans, stand like a corpse at the microphone pondering his superiority to others, cancel tour dates because he's fighting with band members, and he certainly doesn't plagiarize Beatles tunes!

Obviously their insult of Hutch at the Brit Awards in 96 got me upset, and my opinion of them has been very slanted since then. But sometimes, just sometimes, for all their brashness and pompousness, their remarks can be refreshingly candid. But overall they annoy me. And I can't understand their popularity. All these magazine covers with them on it proclaim they are "bigger than God" and are the "biggest band on earth". But their music is the most absolutely unoriginal stuff I've ever heard. Sure, some of their songs are catchy, but it's all xeroxed from the Beatles. What gives? ---------- > From: Bischoff; Nicole L > To: 'inxs-list@iastate.edu' > Subject: RE: RE: [INXS] Oasis?

One bonus I thought was that the INXS list members would know about such things like second concerts before anyone else. We are pretty committed fans. Now I find out that this isn't the case. The people who knew about the second concert kept this information to themselves. Their selfishness to ensure themselves excellent tickets for the second concert. I for one couldn't afford to line up for tickets to the first show due to certain commitments but had made sure I would have time for a second show if I knew it was on. I relied on this list and peoples integrity to share this kind of information. If I knew of the self-centered nature of some of the people on this list I would have been ringing the ticket office every day to find out for myself. I'm stupid for not doing so.

Unfortunately, triple M here in Brisbane don't seem to care that much at all. I'm sure the inxs promotions team has given triple MMM free copies of EW to give away, but for the last few nights they have been giving it away with Faith No More CD's, after they play FNM songs.

If anything, we the die-hard inxs fans should stick together and worship inxs - it makes it more worthwhile, to say the least. Keeping important imformation to ourselves is, to put it bluntly, bloody selfish! (And I'm from Brisbane, so I don't really have any direct involvement or feelings towards second shows, because, as far as I know, there's only one show in Brisbane). One of my favourite things about being on this list is sharing EVERYTHING exciting and new to everyone. And I'm sure I'd be seconded by 95% of every INXSary on the list. If there's a second show in Brisbane, as soon as a find out about it, you can bet I won't be keeping it to myself. I wouldn't want to.

There's just something about some of the tunes that really grabs me, makes me sing along, and puts me into a good mood. (Maybe because I, too, love the Beatles). Champagne Supernova and Wonderwall have a special place in my heart (don;t ask and they always make me laugh.

I really don't feel that they will be around long since they have dissed almost everyone in their industry and appear to be self-destructing with the drugs. I have heard the same comments also about Michael, but I have also heard him discribed as humble, self-depreciating with no ' star' chip on his shoulder which I have not heard* ever *about the guys from oasis. The other INXS guys all get high marks from press as being down to earth. Part of it is the accent. Ammericans love Australian accents but Michaels is more like upper class British which many/most Americans dislike.I think the media likes "bad boys" and will invent that image if the group does not supply a member/members with this attitude.

No Doubt has been around since 1990, I think, but only famous since last year. Live had a hit single in 92 (the one with the video in black and white and they're running around on a beach, or some such), but their big BIG BIG success was in 95, was it? So I don't mean that they just formed last year (ummm...like the Spice Girls--heh heh); just that they hit it big in the last couple years.

MARYLYNN ORZECHOWSKI From: Violatiana@aol.com Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 15:23:32 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] Re: MARY AND THE FAN CLUB Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hello there, This is a serious message and I first want to thank Tianna (who is very close to me) for letting me use her mail. My name is Ros and many of you on the list know me personally or may know of me. I usually do not get involved on the list I just let Tianna do all the work. But I felt that I needed to say something because I found myself in the middle of what could be a very ugly situation. For me it began just before the Pitts., show when I was approached by two "friends of Mary" who asked me first if I had spoken to her lately. I had not had the chance to speak with her in depth and hence my quandry. I was asked to "speak with Martha, and tell her they were interested in maintaining the club while Mary took a hiatus. Not knowing All the behind-the-scenes machinations I agreed. I should have known better, I'm nobody's fool, but I really wanted to believe what they said was true. After speaking with Martha I was left with a great sense of unease, and a really btaste in my mouth particularly once I found out the "Fan Club" would be no more. I've know Mary very well for a long time. I've seen her put this thing together from a single idea to it's pre-birth. I've given advice and opinions and quite frankly I've had enough. The present "Fan Club" as we know it is no more yet she is still putting things together to carry on. I'd like to say did all of you do what you could for her? I don't just mean sending in your money, but sending her your pictures, stories, interviews, inside info, that you'd promised. Did you really try to get to your "assigned venue" early and hand out flyers or did you arrive late, slip away, throw some flying into the garbage and use you pass to "meet the band"? Did you pass on the word to a firend who told their friend and so-on, and so-on? Did you talk a good game , or did you deliver? The reason for all these questions is that I happen to know that many of these things were not done, by many people, and many did come through with their promises. But no-one is completely innocent and no-one is completely guilty. We all share a blame. But let me digress a minute. Do you know what it takes to run a fan Club? Do you have experience in the business world? Do you have world-wide contacts. Do you have contacts in the North, South, East and West Coast. Mary did and she still does. She has friends and contacts in the business, legal, music and publishing professions. She has contacts in Korea, South America, Australia and Africa. But most inportantly she has for five years begun and maintained a data base of almost a thousand names and address of INXS fans the world over. So what? Well I say all this because there are quite a few people who think they can do better. If you can, please come out from the dark and say so. Come forward and speak your mind. Maybe there are people who can help you if you're serious. I happened to know for a fact that Martha and Many people on this list have been approached. Let's get it out into the open. I know that Mary herself will give you whole -hearted support, in everyway...........except one she will not give up her data-base. she worked Five years for that and it's a testiment to her love and dedication for this club that she has maintained it. I think as a group we should give a serious consideration for what she has accomplished so far and rate ourselves Honestly against that. If after a good long hard look in the mirror you feel you fit the bill, then please come on out and lets see what you're made of. I can tell you, I can faced a judge and jury everyday in my life but I could NEVER do what Mary has done. You have to have the persistence of a beaver building a dam, and the patience of a Saint. You have to believe that people WILL do what they say, and have a contigency plan to step in if a hole develops. Do you want something that Hermie had or do you really want something better!!! Please think about it and when you do decide BE UPFRONT!!! Otherwise it gives the impression that you're out to STAB your good friend Mary in the Back!! Thanks for the forum.

I actually didn't know there were two (or is it three?) other members until I saw a photo of the whole band. I find their music to be unoriginal and just not to my taste, but I wouldn't hate them so much if it wasn't for those two. They think they're bigger than they are, and while some find that refreshingly candid, I find it juvenile and disgusting.

Please don't criticise unless you know why I wasn't able to let the list know of a second show before it went on sale. I can't recall the actual dates however after the Melbourne show I drove my sister to bendigo where she goes to university. Instead of comming back straight away I decided to stay for the next couple of days to organise accomodation there for the INXS show at the Schweppes centre. Anyway as it happens I recieved a call on my mobile from a friend in Sydney (she has no access to any computers) who told me the second show was on sale the following day. I rang the venue and this was confirmed. The only problem being that I also didn't have access to a computer terminal. If so I definately would have posted this information, as I am far from Selfisih.... Anyway I just thought I would let you know why this occured. Remember 'don't put your blame on the messenger'... Anyway what happened to those fans in Sydney....couldn't they have also found out about the second show as I did when in Bendigo??? Ps: I am not having a go at anyone, just letting people know the facts.....

Well excuse me sweat pea but where do you get off blaming people on this list for the demise of the fan club. I've seen nothing but praise by the list members for Mary's hard work. As far as sending pictures, stories, interviews, whatever - I have none - that was what I was hoping from the fan club - to hear others. Did I help out Mary? When she was trying to put together the fan club and after it was formed I offered my help in any way she needed. Apparantly there was nothing at the time I could do to help out but she would keep me in mind. I offered her my home to stay while she was in the Boston area. Did I hand out flyers - yes I did. I arrived early but Mary's train was late so we did it after the show. Everyone on this list, whether they were in the fan club or not, were telling stories of how they passed on info about the new album to family, friends, co-workers, fellow students, calling radio stations. Yes I saw alot of delivering. So before you accuse people on the list of backstabbing Mary maybe you better join the list instead of getting a myopic view of what's happening through one person so you can make an informed opinion. If you have a certain agenda with certain people on this list - then take it to private email instead of insulting everyone here. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue X-Sender: marsland@mail-w.deakin.edu.au Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 23:56:55 +1100 To: From: Matthew Marsland Subject: [INXS] INXS Articles/Selfish Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu For those who are unable to find out about INXS things themselves, today in The Age newspapers (Good Weekend Mag) there was quite a long article on the band 5 or 6 pages long plus some good colour pictures. Plus in tomorrows Sunday Herald-Sun there will be another INXS article in that paper, just to let you know in advance. In response to 'selfish list members', Julian has already stated already he was no where near a computer at the time. And if you are wondering why I didn't post any info about the 2nd show either, it is because I got a message that they had gone on sale in the afternoon on Tuesday, but this wasn't true and I don't report rumors to the list, otherwise the Perth dates would have changed 10 times last week, going by what the ticket offices were telling people! I heard on Wednesday night that 2nd Sydney they were on sale in the morning. Now I don't live in Sydney, so how am I suppose to know people who actually live in Sydney didn't know the 2nd show went on sale Thursday? I wasn't at a computer on Wednesday night, but even if I was I doubt I would have posted it because how am I too know people in Sydney can't find out Sydney INXS dates for themselves? I would have assumed people in Sydney knew so I wouldn't have posted anything. Blame the lack of advertising, blame yourself for not ringing the ticket agency, but it's unfair to blame people who live over 1000 kms from Sydney (assuming you were talking about Julian & myself which it's obvious you were). And saying we didn't tell anyone, as to get good tickets for ourselves is rubbish. We don't live in Sydney we can't line up ourselves from Melbourne, and ringing up doesn't ensure you get good tickets. I'll do my best to tell anyone if there is a 2nd Melbourne show in advance, but why rely on me all the time? I post quite a bit of news to this list which I find out myself, the band don't send me faxes or anything in advance, it's also unfair to blame Julian as he informed you all of the Bunbury gig in W.A. in advance, even though he lives no where near there. So if any of you were trying to blame Julian & myself you have got the wrong guys I'm sorry. Matthew.

I guess I don't really know what your getting at or who your getting these impressions from--certainly not from the list. I've seen nothing but positive comments about Mary's efforts from people on this list. As far as if individual people delivered, I did my best. I passed out flyers, I've promoted INXS non-stop since the release of the new album, recommending it to friends and family and writing reviews of both the album and the only concert I went to for my college paper. I've called radio stations to request the material. I've even written a letter to MTV about the lack of INXS video airplay. I believe I did as much as possible for a full-time student holding down two jobs. Whether others did their "part" or not I cannot say. We all love INXS, but really, as much as I love them, I'm sorry to say they are not my life, and I don't think the band expects anyone to devote their life to promoting them. Next time you post something about the list in general, please make sure you don't just have personal issues with a few people and generalize this way.

Not sure why (for their collection??) but no problem with me! I've already mailed these cards to those without email, but let me know if you want one and I'll send it to you. Does this make sense? Speaking of making sense, to clarify my wording on the last (?) message. If you want a goody bag and haven't joined IN2XS you can still get one by mailing in a payment of $21US for US residents or $25US for international residents. Obviously, this does not mean it is a membership in IN2XS for all reasons stated in previous messages. Seems a couple people are a little unclear on the concept. My fault for not being specific. OK? OK!

I, too, was a bit offended by Ros' rant about the fan club's demise. I was only at one show, but I can definitely say we didn't let the fan club down. All of the "workers" for the show were there, excited, and willing to pass out as many fliers as needed. Unfortunately, ours was a radio show, so fliers weren't completely legal; but we did manage to work out a deal with the venue's staff to let us pass fliers out afterwards. In all, I'd say it went well. Also, while waiting backstage, several people approached me after being told I was doing some sort of work for the fan club. These people, by and large, had no email access, so I filled them in on IN2XS and gave them the address to write for more info. Considering this, I can say "yes, I did do my part." As for the club's demise, I feel very bad about it, especially for Mary, and I understand how it can bring out some pretty strong emotions for those of us who wanted it to succeed, but please, Ros, quit blasting the very people who did all in their (limited) power to make the club a success!!!!!

I would just like to clear this up. I didn't mean all or even many of their comments and actions; just some. And I do not think that it is refreshing of them to think they're bigger than they are; I NEVER said or insinuated that. They are pompous and egotistical, but there are (few) times when something they say is pretty funny. The one instance I think of when I say this is when they first had a big hit with Wonderwall, and in an MTV interview they talking about how they love being famous. Then Liam mentioned how Eddie Vedder was always whining about how he didn't want the fame, to which he said, "The why the f--k are you in a band, then!", and I thought that was pretty hilarious. I'm sure there is some Pearl Jam fan who despises them for that the way we do for their insult of Michael Hutchence, but then again that really wasn't an insult they insulted INXS.

A lot of the people that are being labelled as "Selfish" have said that they didn't find out about the second show until much later, and I must agree with them. I've just picked up the insert "Sunday Magazine" that comes with the Sunday Telegraph, and lo and behold there was a story on Michael Hutchencein it. I had no idea there was an article on Michael in the insert and because of my mum telling me about it (God bless her, she knows I love INXS), I wouldn't be reading this article and looking at some of the cool pictures. All I can say politely (again!) don't point fingers. It will achieve _nothing_. We are all here for the love on INXS and I'm sure many members want to make things known to other members on the list. I remember not even months ago when Michael appeared on the Australian tv show "Witness" - the Aussies were mailing the list to tell everyone he was on there whilst the show was being aired! Anyway, needless to say, don't let little things tear us apart. :) - Glenn From: MHNoel@aol.com Date: Sun, 19 Oct 1997 10:43:12 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] INXS Articles/Selfish Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu In a message dated 97-10-19 05:15:22 EDT, you write: << lo and behold there was a story on Michael Hutchencein it.

It's true they insulted INXS, but I disliked Oasis even before they made their comments to Michael. That instance just added to my anti-Oasis sentiments.

HBO ran one of its "Entertainment News" segments before a movie I was waiting for, and I was about to change the channel when....on the screen pop up Michael and Tim. The segment was a brief blurb about the Greatest Hits CD and showed a couple of shots of the video, and one of the guys commenting on how everything in the video was black vinyl - even the toilet. I remember being shocked to learn that there was a Greatest Hits on the way. As for the song itself - good beat, interesting lyrics, and I love that great guitar riff at the bridge.

Thanks for your email. I have had a deluge of email, and have taken this long to sort through it. My apologies - I may have previously mentioned that the auction cycle will do a 'ONCE' per week. This is not the case. I will be posting an update, ie TWICE by Wednesday this week, and updates will occur every TWO DAYS. Auction key: ! for ONCE ! !! for TWICE !! !!! for SOLD !!! Here's the list of INXS stuff I have for sale. I also have a few promo posters, tourbooks (AUS) and some other gear. Email me for more info on this. There are some really rare stuff in this auction that I hope catches your eye, eg DEKADANCE (AUS), the remix promo album with 12" versions from The Swing; and Ecco-Homo, featuring Mike on vox. Great track too! Over the years I have really tried to collect all of INXS' b-sides and 12" mixes, and I think I have most of them for sale here. The condition of the items in this auction: Unless otherwise stated, all items are in absolute *mint* condition, covers, vinyl, cd, etc. only played a maximum of twice (or not at all in many cases!!!) and then filed away in a safe place, each in a acid-free polybag standing upright and supported accordingly. (This is for the collectors out there, like myself!) MINI-AUCTION RULES: standard Internet auction rules apply; ie items can be withdrawn without notice, bid offers do not include postage/insurance (to be negotiated after close of sale), bid raises of 50 cent increments are only accepted (ie .50c/$1/$1.50....) This mini-auction will be run on a ONCE, TWICE, SOLD format, with the weekend as a count. Email me if you want to receive individual daily updates of this list, otherwise read them on the various newsgroups, rec.music.marketplace, aus.music, and the INXS mailing list (iastate). ===== NOTE: all bids are in US$, not AUS$, as that is easier for the majority. Other currencies will be converted at the going rate. ===== PS: If you are interested in any of these items, email your offer to me at 'wravail@ords.com.au', and please *only* reply with the items you are actually after, as opposed to quoting the whole list, and wanting only one item, thanks! PPS: I have decided, as the majority of my INXS gear is currently bid upon, to *REMOVE* all minimum bids - so have another look!!
