With regards to "unofficial" CD's, Videos etc. I have always considered myself a massive fan of the band, and love to get my hands on anything I can new release wise, and from unofficial sources. That said, I won't spend cash merely for the sake of aquiring all things INXS, especially if I'm being ripped off financially. This even applies to mutiple release formats of CD singles from the band's own label, right through to extortionate figures quoted by those selling booleg material. So I find myself reliant on those who have purchased items, for recommendations both of high quality items, and reasonably priced items. That said, I have very little in the way of unofficial CDs and Videos, and to some extent have always felt I am a bit of a fraud when I say I am a devoted fan. Some of you out there would, I imagine, have archives CD and Video-wise of the band, that I would die for. In an ideal world I'd love to trade rather than purchase but I simply don't have anything of note beyond official releases. The only time I bought a bootleg video of the band was for their final RockAMring show with Michael (EW Tour), and that turned out to be really bad quality for the 1st 20 minutes of the show. Once bitten, twice shy sums it up now. So I would really like it any of you guys could point me in the right direction purchases-wise, cos I so much want to have as much material as I can sensibly afford bearing in mind I have a mortgage and 2 kids to support :-) Love and Rock Jim From: "Fists of Fury Eric Reed" To: Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 7:04 AM Subject: INXS: SOTW #1 - ELEGANTLY WASTED yes, you read right.

As for attitudes, I like the way Liam and Noel speak their minds, not so much share their point of view ( on almost anything ) and in that way they are refreshing. There is too much of this manufactured rubbish in music these days, and everyone is up everyone else's arses. To be honest, Noel would do better on his own, Liam is a twat. Basically, musically when they are good they are very, very, good, and when they are not, they are terrible, there is no middle ground with 'em. Each to there own. And no, I haven't forgiven them for the things they said and did to Michael at the Brits all those years ago.

I don't mind Oasis, not bad as far as Beatles copykats go. Elegantly Wasted I think the best description I saw of this song was when a critic (who liked the song) referred to it as the "chicken scratching song". A few points to note about it first of all, it is a pretty similar key as Need You Tonight, note for note it might have been an attempt by Andrew to revisit the success of the Kick album through using the same notes as the well tested chart topper Second of all did anybody ever think that the chorus ending sounds a bit like Taste It......AHHH I'm elegantly wasted/ Sweet Sweet Sweet could ya taste it? And another point, the song lyric" Everybody Dance Now" (CC music factory?) uses pretty similar notes to the line elegantly wasted, although it's more of a stretch?. The song perhaps like the Gift from FMDH probably suffers from the fact that the chorus is a tad noisey, the higher octaves are made brutally honest. To make it more radio candyish (which it was to an extent anyhows) I would have taken the chorus idea more from the refrain idea they finish the song with. And I have to agree that the slide guitar although atleast different did not entirely suit the song here and perhaps Kirk should have pulled out his sax , rather than his guitar slide. Because although the song is somewhat moderate, there is a tension created by the crescendo like movements in the verses, and on the solo the tyres are simply let down way to easy. Much like the treatment of the entire EW album I have to say I like how they used Michaels voice, it's more soulful and on the money, straight from the hip. Apparently the line Elegantly Wasted is a line that has been used in reference to Keith Richards of Rolling Stones fame. Although in this song, it is probably a direct reference to the way Michael was feeling about the presses view of him. One final point, the remixes of this song, as many may concur, are disgraceful, fair enough if you really like techno, but these mixes have little if anything to do with INXS or Elegantly Wasted. Kick From: "Michael & Sherrianne Talon" To: Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 8:12 AM Subject: Re: INXS: Thoughts on the upcoming releases The Indian Song,......now doesn't this just remind u of Jim Morrison and the Doors, take for instance Riders On the Storm, The End etc and some other Doors classics. The mood is very similar as are the melodic gestures. Salvation Jane Did everybody know that Salvation Jane is a noxious weed in Australia? If you look it up on the net, it's quite an attractive flower (wild flower). I must say the using of the numbers on front of all the lines seems a little crass. I think it was Andrew's idea because unlike the demo, Michael hides it that much better. At no time do you want to be listening to a song and thinking to yourself 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, unless of course you are a kid and are listening to the Wiggles. Listening to Salvation Jane I get the impression the band was thinking about this song as a potential single. Waiting to be Free I find thevocal treatment a little unusual where he sings as in in Faith In Each Other, "I got to tell you" and I believe that it may have been left of X simply on the basis that the vocals are a little unpolished compared to the rest of the immaculately clean X album. I must say I really enjoyed the funkiness of this tune, very Kickish towards the end of the song. I think it's better song than Salvation Jane and I'd swap them on the Best Of. All Around 2 Starts out much like Tight, probably the vocals do not match well with the verse until the rif as the drum machine is far too mechanical given the change of chords in the song. Reminds me again of the Beatles especially the guitar sol interlocking the chorus and the 2nd verse. The drum machine seems to be built on the rif that builds to the chorus so it seems a tad out of place in he rest of the song. Jesus was Man Aside from the fact that it is too long and was different from the rest of the Kick album, this song was probably left out because of the inconsistency in Michael's vocals. It goes from the mediocre to the sheer all powerful ( aided by some shockingly blatant reverb). Instrumentally though, this song is brilliant, there's no other INXS song like it really, Pink Floyd or U2 would both be very happy with this gem.....it's very anthemic for INXS. However there is a startling gap in the vocal production against the instrumental production and I have to wonder if this is a demo. Tight This song is brilliant, it's got the danceability that INXS were missing to some extent in the albums following Kick,. It's one drawback, however may be the overuse of a couple of hooks in the song. I have to wonder which one of Michael's female companions it refers to, Helena, Kylie or Paula. Dark of Night This demo gives you the idea that Kirk and Chris Thomas were responsible for the chorus that By My Side eventually procured, both because of the title and the arrangement. Not bad prefer the movie mix. Move On Prefer the original version with the Banjo or whatever, However the shortening of the song probably helps it. The opening rif sounds like something Andrew wrote for a Jenny Morris song. I always considered the song brilliant, in fact it got radio air play in Australia simply for being on the back of Never Tear Us Apart. Should have been on the Kick album as the first or the last. Who Pays the Price Runs like one of my midis LOL. I like this stripped back version, it retains all the beauty of the original without the crispness perhaps in the harmonica. Mr Musselwhite was quite good aye? The Trap It is very much like Tiny Daggers, although sounds more like something that belongs on LLT, but only because of the minimalist production, would have to be more polished to make it on Kick.

I once heard in an interview that INXS were truly embarassed by keep the peace! 2. worst choice as a single: my first impression is to say bitter tears, just because I think of that song as album filler, but seeing as how it was a fairly successful single (and most of you love the song) I guess it wasn't a terrible choice. so instead I'll go with everything. following elegantly wasted, I think the band should have tried one of the rockers rather than go the mellow route. 3. favorite lyric: it's in my signature; "some days I am everything I hate, but it's nothing if the truth won't survive". to me that says: your faults are just as much a part of you as anything else, and trying to hide them is really just lying about who you really are. it's about acceptance, both self and external. "look, I'm not perfect. I can be an ass sometimes. but isn't that better than being false and pretending I'm better than you?" by the way, thinking about worst choice of singles, I have to say that (aside from kick) WTWYA had the best choice of singles I've heard from an album. I could not pick a better top 5 songs from that album! and...I can't believe so many of you dislike men & women! I don't think it's depressing or sad or whatever at all! other than guns in the sky, this is michael's only solo composition. I'm quite amazed at what he accomplished with this song. I mean, to create such a dynamic, symphonic work is quite an accomplishment, especially contrasted with the incredible simplicity in guns in the sky. sure, it's not a typical INXS song, but I think that was mostly the point! I love this song! Fists of Fury Eric Reed From: "Michael & Sherrianne Talon" To: Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 8:56 PM Subject: Re: INXS: interesting poll idea Although some of the members of INXS are embarassed by Keep The Peace, it was not a unanimous thing. I remember some interview that took place in Chicago, where not only does one member, I think it was Kirk, downgrades the song "it was crap" but he also said the film it was from was also crap (and apologised to Eddie in the same sentence). Michael I think defended both, as the audience was getting a real laugh. I myself find the song to be alright, it has the drive of so many INXS songs. And as it is used in the film in a car chase, that was quite appropriate. Songwriting wise though, the whole song seems to be based on one chord being strummed every so often. That can be a little grating, it's a song a bit like Listen Like Thieves I prefer to hear every so often as opposed to Need You Tonight which I can pretty much hear any minute of the day regardless of how many times I have heard it. Deliver Me I am the flagbearing defender of this song, as well as Men & Women. The song is a damn good song, it is probably the production that listeners hate with it's extremely percussive rythm in the verses and it's gimmme gimmme gimmme (Neil K hates that word). I could easily see some band doing a cover of that in 20 years (maybe INXS LOL) and turning it into a #1 MP9, just don't let Chris Thomas near it :). The evidence against Everything as the follow up to EW is pretty overwhelming. It's highest chart position in the U.K. was 73 and it didn't register much anywhere else. I imagine that I am one of the few people in Australia to actually buy the dual copies of the Everything single here in Oz. Everything is perhaps a little sterile for a "love" song, the refrain in the middle "the way you see the world" has been criticised by more than one critic. I can't think of many INXS songs that compare to it. I can't imagine anybody listening to this song and getting offended though (maybe Helena). I must say to everybody who is responded to the Sotw and this poll it has been very good reading in the past few days, keep it rockin :).

Most bands when they do greatest hits pacakges and include new tracks, tend to release the new material as singles, and as far as I'm aware it never happened with Deliver Me, so I think even the band as good as knew it was a a turkey.

(TFI was the leading music show to be seen on in the UK at that time, and a bad performance was like a kiss of death) Once I heard the Leadstation mix my opinion changed and it benifitted from a trip-hop feel, as a chilled out-laid back-in the sunshine type of tune. After that the original version became more enjoyable too. Jim From: "Michael & Sherrianne Talon" To: Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 5:29 AM Subject: Re: INXS: interesting poll idea I think the version done live at the ARIA's (Australian Music Awards) is the best version around, the live mix is tough and gritty more metallic as opposed to the studio cut which is rather mellow. And Michael is not so "Searching" with his vocals as he is on the money. To compare, the studio cut is like rockmelon, while the live cut was like Jack Daniels LOL. With Deliver Me, even more evidence that the band thought it was a Turkey, they left if off the original Australian Release of the GH in 94. The only reason I knew it existed was hearing the excerpt on the Great Video Experience. Luckily when Mercury rereleased a different GH version it was on there (luckily for me and anyone else who doesn' mind the tune). To my knowledge it has never been performed live anywhere, but I believe it would improve live. As I have said before this song's main problem is the production, live it would be stripped back and even shortened maybe. Being at it's heart a blues song, the techno percussive remix on the GH sells the song short.

Least favourite INXS song: i would pick faith in each other or all the voices, both of them kind of suck and are too long, speccially the one from the swing. As to all you of you picking on men and women, searching and everything i haver to say i love this songs, they are between my favourites, speccially everything and searching. I always liked men and women since the first time i heard it back in 1992, it has a strong feeling to it, you need to feel the guitar, i like it. 2. worst choice for a single I have to pick shining star for this one, that song is not single material, too funky and alternative for the radio airplay and in my opinion the live album should have been promoted with a live track, suicide blonde rocks on the album. 3.favourite lyric It has to be everything, it's such a beautiful song and the lyrics pretty much say it all, we are never the only ones who suffer from the love that's lost, we always pray that our soul is not sold and changes always keeps us moving on and it's all about the way we see the world, the whole song is brilliant and i think it was the perfect choice to follow EW, i don't see why some of you say this was the mellow choice and that's the reason for the lack of success, i remember back then U2 released "staring at the sun" as the second single from (sucker)pop and it went huge, i think both songs have something in common although i think everything is better, it just wasn't meant to be. look at the charts, you only find crap there, at the time i was pissed of that the album didn't do well, these days i don't care, most people buy the music they are told or that they see on tv, and then they take it home and listen to it once or twice.

This has been a a pretty good time to see many people expressing their different point of views on this poll... many of them, coming from the lurking mode, like me : ) lol !!! this is great ! So, here's my 2 cents. 1. LEAST FAVORITE INXS SONG : "Jumping" For the ones like me who got to meet INXS after The Swing or LLT, we got used to a band with a great and mature sound. To me it happend cause I first heard INXS with a song that I love, "This Time". I just got the chance to complete my INXS collection in 92 or 93 when I finally bought the first 2 INXS albums (had to import them). And listen to these albums after such a long time since they were released it can chock a little on the first time listening. After some more listenings, I really liked many of the songs of these albums and I think that there are pretty good ones on them, even though it was too different from the style I was used to. So, my choice for the least INXS favorite song goes for JUMPING from the first album. It has a good beginning, but I just can't listen to the chorus. It's something terrible... 2. WORST CHOICE FOR A SINGLE : Searching I'm choosing this song, considering the mixes that were made to it. I love the original and live versions of it, but not too much the mixes. 3. FAVORITE LYRIC: As it have already been said below by Kick, I always loved Move On ..."There are no words that could explain, the strongest love in vain... you gotta move on" . This lyric fits exactly to the music, the instrumental part. This is one of the best INXS songs for me and it's lyric/music pass us a great energy, and it helps us to move on !

Not only that they should have put in a hell of a lot of improvisation. With it's production Live Baby Live comes across almost as a Greatest Hits set. Sure it sounds good, but did they really capture the live sound of INXS, I don't think so. As for Shining Star, I love that track, but it is odd to put it between all these live tracks on the album. Much better would have been to release a lesser known track live, although Suicide Blonde is probably the standout live track on the album. INXS made up for Live Baby Live with some of the stuff from Aspen though. Although even there, the singles are quite prominent and improvisation only reaches a high point in What You Need. With improvisation, I'm particularly talking about what they did in front of New Sensation at Rio 91', lots of cut funk and Michael just singing whatever he damn well pleased over the top (naturally with a sense for the instruments). And you are right the bootlegs are more satisfying than Live Baby Live, I have heard some good and some bad but I prefer listening to them over Live Baby Live. Even the tracks from Brixton on the Argentinian site are a bit of a spectacle in 64 bit. Why they did Taste It at 100 miles and hour I'll never know LOL, however I ain't gonna dis variety. When all is said however, there is nothing quite like actually being there, and the Dirty Honey Moon tour 94' and Southbank 02' hold special memories for me.

INXS SONG OF THE WEEK #2 - NOT ENOUGH TIME ===== some days I am everything I hate but it's nothing if the truth won't survive From: "Michael & Sherrianne Talon" To: Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 3:35 AM Subject: Re: INXS: SOTW #2 - NOT ENOUGH TIME My favorite INXS ballad, INXS made a habit of putting atleast one soft tune like this one every album from Listen Like Thieves onwards, on Welcome and FMDH you basically get two, (Beautiful Girl, Kill the Pain and Full Moon Dirty Hearts.(verses.chorus)) This tune has a remarkably similar bass line to the preceding song on the album IE Taste It, it has a similar mood as well without the sinister implications of Taste It. I regard the double single of these two songs as perhaps the best double A-side INXS have released. I remember that this tune (off Welcome to Wherever you are) was the only single to really chart well in the US #28, Topping off that fact that it's a good tune, the video is arguably one of INXS' best as well with the prolific use of the elements and some crafted slowmotion and visual loops. In retrospect instead of using the Orchestra for Baby Don't Cry, the band could perhaps have done the obvious thing here and used the orchestration on Not Enough Time. They may have found that they would have produced something similar to Never Tear Us Apart both in tune and charting performance. This song was also chosen as part of the music for the 92 Olympics, typical, the Spanish have a thing for INXS like a few other countries around the globe. Although the actual music for the olympic games is probably more to do with record co.s and Coke than anything else.

I love this country and the freedom it stands for. Before 1776, wealth was gotten mostly by war, theft or inheritance. In America, people began on a regular basis to MAKE money, by producing products and serving their fellow man. The common man or woman owned private property. There was no such thing as democracy before America. In Britain, the closest thing to representative government was that one in thirty five white males actually qualified to vote. In America, one third of the population was qualified to vote, including some women and blacks. Today, with the 26 freedoms listed in the Bill of Rights, we are one of the freest places in the world. People come from all over the globe to live here. Celebrate America!

He confirms the story of Tiger Lily mentioning that MH was a better singer than he, (and laughs while mentioning it). He says his decision to be the father of Tiger Lily not so much honouranble as it was obvious. Tiger Lily does call him dad. Bono is good friends with Bob Geldof and appeared in the interview, as he and Bob both try and push thru their project of ridding the Third world of all debt. Bob Geldof also mentioned that neither Michael Hutchence or Paula Yates committed suicide in his opinion, at which point the interviewer points out the contradiction in one of the songs in Bob's latest album where he questions someone's decision to put a "noose around his neck". Bob Geldof mentioned that he thought Michael was bit of a hoot, and was quite intelligent. Bob Geldof was in tears at one point in the interview and it had to be stopped, the interviewer describes the amazing emotional pain which Bob Geldof suffers, at one point asking Bob if he would ever remarry. The answer being a resounding "No" as fear would stop him. He describes the whole saga as one huge waste, and at the end of the interview makes the point, "Where is the upside?" "There is no upside". During the interview, he scoffs at suggestions that it would seem somewhat unnatural to take care of the child of your exwifes lover. He describes Tiger Lily as a "spark".

From: "Michael & Sherrianne Talon" To: Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 9:13 PM Subject: Re: INXS: Releases I must say out of all these releases, for the Ozzie fan who has mostly everything.....they are quite disappointing. Clearly the most sort after tracks are those which appear on the US only reissues (IE the Hutchence tracks that were previously unavailable). These were recorded in INXS' "peak" period. The Stay Young discs will also be of interest just for the unheard content as well, and that would be an Ozzie release. The Ozzie Anthology as I call it, seems to be designed for the casual INXS fan and maybe the TripleM listener who doesn't turn down the radio when INXS comes on. Now for arguments sake they are all remastered, however to me that's like asking yourself if the car needs washing 5 minutes after a thunder storm......the difference is minute in the digital realm. Stay Young will perhaps benefit mostly from the touch up. It seems to me the band in conjunction with about 50 (okay 3) different record co.s has decided to take the money over the box. It seems the notion of firstly expanding Kick, X, and Welcome is so the music is as it were, in correct time line, however we all know they could have fit all these tunes on ONE disc quite conveniently. I find the commercial aspects of the band somewhat distasteful lately. Maybe that is the route of all bands when they are past their prime and into the nostalgia phase. I hope the band gets back to a bit how it was with a new release of new material (ie recorded recently) soon. All these Greatest Hits CDs, DVD's, Coffee table books, golfballs whatever are enough to drive one barmy.

What the hell was > it all > about, can someone please tell me :-) ???????????????????????? This is interesting, I 've always thought the video was *much* cooler than the song itself (and I like the song too). For one thing, there's the fun of trying to pick out the Dogs in Space cast members in it, and then I just loved the imagery. My take on the video was that they were playing in a "thieves quarter" (think The Princess Bride, if you must to conjure up this image), and they were sort of the house band for the people there. That also makes a handy tie-in to the song title, even thought the song wasn't about the criminal element per se (though given Michael's views on the media, perhaps it was!) I just though the entire thing had a way-cool ambience, interesting characters, and was a fun treatment for the lyrics. it also gave the guys a chance to play dress-up ;-) As for the song, I've always liked it. I'd not heard Michael's official proclamation on what the song was about until someone reposted it here a few days ago (thanks for that!). My view of it had always been tied to the lyrics: Everybody's down on their knees Listen like thieves But who needs that When it's all in your hands? To me that's saying, "think for yourself:" "don't follow the crowd," and "don't accept everything your told without examining it for yourself." All wise pieces of advice that not enough of us take on a regular enough basis. Nanci We thought we had all the answers; it was the questions we had wrong. --Bono From: "•* SoulMistake *•" To: Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 2:56 PM Subject: RE: INXS: SOTW #3 - LISTEN LIKE THIEVES Hello fellow fans! I agree with Nancy on this one, about the "meaning of the song", I too had never heard Michael's take on it until a few days ago when it was posted, but what I always got out of it was, "do things for yourself" , "think for yourself" and that you don't have to "depend on anyone but yourself"... especially from these lyrics... You are all you need So don't hesitate There's no time to waste Just do it for yourself... As for the video... hehe, this was the very first video I seen by the band way back when, and I absolutely fell in love with the song and the band and here I am 14-15 years later, still hooked... :-) I've always liked the video, can't really say why, it was just really neat...

I agree that we have a lot of best of's so far but the european greatest hits is going to be released with a bonus disc featuring live tracks, remixes and videos, that is cool. And the re-masters, speccially X was really needing it as the original cd has poor sound. I am listening to all the songs and will be buying all the releases as soon as they hit the stores, i am speccially looking forward to the stay young compilation, this will be great with all the unreleased/live songs and there's still the Capri re-recordings. Let's support the guys, i'm sure they can't wait to put out new stuff but record companies want to test them on the market first, we can't let them down.

Released in Australia on 21 October 2002 through Raven Records, the release (cat no. RVCD-145) has now also gained international distribution deals in the US and UK through Navarre and Proper Music Distribution respectively. This 43-track double CD set, digitally remastered by Don Bartley and prepared in co-operation with the band members, combines the band's first two pivotal albums, INXS and Underneath The Colours (which songwriter Andrew Farriss considers to be one of the unit's most important), with seven non-album single tracks and 20 rarities (including 14 previously unreleased tracks) - demos from band archives, live cuts, unexpected covers (such as Steely Dan's 'Pretzel Logic and Phil Manzanera/801's 'Miss Shapiro'), a Michael Hutchence soundtrack song backed by Cold Chisel, a 1992 remix of 'Underneath The Colours', and unheard '90s Capri re-recordings of four Oz-only hits. Accompanying the music is a lavish 32-page color booklet with a large selection of previously unpublished photographs, and a revealing track-by-track commentary from band members. inxs.com can also exclusively reveal the album's cover art for the first time. Label owner and long time friend of the band, Glenn A. Baker commented, "One thing I think fans will appreciate, is that the front cover photo, suggested by Andrew and taken out of a frame on his studio wall, is one of the earliest ever taken of the group and has never been seen or published. It has a great power to it." The confirmed tracklisting for Stay Young 1979-1982 (The Complete 'Deluxe Years') is: CD1: CD2: Simple Simon We Are The Vegetables On A Bus Scratch Doctor The Unloved One Just Keep Walking Lacavocal Learn To Smile Prehistoria Jumping Telefone (Sydney studio demo 1979) In Vain Silent Night (Sydney studio demo 1979) Roller Skating Break Away (Sydney studio demo 1979) Body Language Reckless Ways (Live Moontan Concert at Manly Vale Hotel October 1980) Newsreel Babies Pretzel Logic (Live Moontan Concert at Manly Vale Hotel October 1980) Wishy Washy Reasons (Live Moontan Concert at Manly Vale Hotel October 1980) The Loved One Feeling Good (Live Moontan Concert at Manly Vale Hotel October 1980) Stay Young Miss Shapiro / You Really Got Me (Live Moontan Concert at Manly Vale Hotel October 1980) Horizons On A Bus (Live Wanda Beach 2JJ concert, January 1982) Big Go Go The One Thing (Live Wanda Beach 2JJ concert, January 1982) Underneath The Colours Speed Kills (Don Walker featuring Michael Hutchence) Fair Weather Ahead Underneath The Colours (Chicken Mix) Night Of Rebellion Barbarian (Capri re-recording) Follow Just Keep Walking (Capri re-recording) Barbarian In Vain (Capri re-recording) What Would You Do Stay Young (Capri re-recording) Just To Learn Again To coincide with the release inxs.com will have an exclusive accompanying Andrew Farriss interview and competition this October.

There are a few reasons this is obvious, but the main one is what Michael's wearing and the accessory in his hand....a gun (which you don't find in Dog's in Space). I think the video makes more sense with the actual song when you put it in that context. Escape from New York, is about the degradation of society, under the watchful eye of the media, big business and government. It's a movie where every character in it is morally contorted including the lead hero. Dogs in Space also deals with degradation, but in a more individualistic way. The other movie where you could easily see a correlation without argument is another Aussie flick, Mad Max (1,2,3) with Mel Gibson. All of these movies and there's probably more are probably the directors "inspiration". Look for the characters yourself you'd be amazed at some of the obvious tie ins. I don't remember, but this vid would have been directed by Richard Lowenstein right?

Oh God, don't even bring this up! Next thing ya know you'll be off on Escape From LA;-) Now there's a sequel that didn't need to be made! Sorry, just have to rail against one of those movies my husband insists is a "classic" but which I detest. LOL Having spewed forth all that, I can see your point. I'd never thought of it in terms of the video, but it does fit perfectly, esp considering what Michael is wearing. The Mad Max references are there as well, and a bit more obvious (to me), not sure why though, maybe because they're both Australian? I'm just a huge Dogs fan so i think I naturally gravitated towards it in terms of video interpretation. > I don't remember, but this vid would have been directed by Richard > Lowenstein right?

All of these songs will no doubt be available as MP3s shortly after release as the CDs make there way onto the Hard Drives of more casual and newer fans across the world. My wife and I are actually acquiring the commercially released CDs (Kick, X, Welcome) from a friend who will be travelling to Australia from Canada. If it wouldn't be from that friend it would have to be Amazon or now thanks to INXS, probably Tower Records. And now in Australia fortunately, with the release of an enlarged Greatest Hits compilationTight and Salvation J will now be that much cheaper. MPXs are still a burning issue for record companies and artists, but they must somehow embrace them as I think they are around to stay. The only quandary for the Record Co.s and artists is how they should derive income from MP3's. Anyway, cheers all.

I still think regardless of Michael's quote that he meant to say don't follow the crowd and to think for yourself. That can also be in reference to media. Not to believe everything you read, in otherwords check things out for yourself and make your own mind up. eg. Someone might say a song is fantastic, and the other person will comply rather than think for themselves and voice there real opinion. You've got your own idea and you can think for yourself and not follow the crowd just to be popular or to be with a majority. Nanci's quote is exactly how I read it and if you think about it, Michael's meaning of his quote, even though seemingly aimed with the media in mind, was also aimed at all things in general....make up your own mind!

Question #1 What is your favourite instrumental "solo", or more correctly which song does it come from. There are many to choose from but what is your fave. Mine is the solo that ends a Different World, where I think Tim is playing the guitar. A great way to finish a rocking track. Question #2 INXS have a future album coming out, let's all assume, that you have the responsibility, what would you call this album. I myself would call the next INXS album "FunkOne". Question #3 What is your favorite INXS "live" tune, you don't nec have to have heard it at a gig, you may have heard it on a bootleg or Live Baby Live, or seen it on the Aspen video. My fave live tune, would have to be the Gift, as I saw performed on the Dirty Honey Moon tour and pretty much as is recorded on the Time EP from the Barker Hangar gig. The enormous amount of energy spasmodically pumping from this song was candy to my ears. Question #4 (yes one more than last time) Which "INXS" song does or is Jon Stevens likely to perform the best in your opinion. To me I think the Loved One is right up his alley. Pariticipants appreciated in advance. Kick Angusted wrote: >G'day all > There's a small article in yesterdays Sunday Telegragh bout their new cd.

Question 1 Favourite instrumental solo would basically be Kirk's sax in What You Need along with the Tim's riff. If they did an entire remix of just those parts of he song and it went for like 12 minutes or so... I would be a very happy camper. You can't sit still through that!!! Question 2 Name of the INXS album. I have confirmed the meaning of this question with the quiz master himself and he means, an album that INXS comes out with as Jon Stevens in the lead and all new material. So.... if I could pick any name it would have to be "Intricate Legacy" Question 3 I've narrowed it down by only choosing from songs I have actually seen performed live. It's a hard one, we have the eye candy of Need You Tonite during the Kick tour and the sheer power of Suicide Blonde during the X tour, but I think I'll have to go with The Stairs. It may not be truly powerful or naked rock but seeing Michael perform that song live, was incredibly moving and a moment I'll never forget. Question 4 Kick! When we saw them perform, he seemed to add his own flavour to that song. Yes, it was an INXS song, but he moulded it to fit and you thought to yourself that he could have been singing it from the beginning. He nailed it and it was damn good!!

That's where they do a really big intro to Melting in the Sun, basically consisting in the notes of the main rif and some handy work from Jon Farriss. Melting in the Sun is one of my favorite tracks of The Swing, I believe they actually made a video for it as well even though it wasn't actually a single. And yes Hungry is already a strong potential name for the next album given the song may be on the album, and INXS have shown a penchant for choosing song names as titles of their albums. Although it's not always the case. Thx for your response Jim.

My copy (The Swing & Other Stories) has this weird stop in the middle as if the tape has mashed up, but then starts up again as if nothing was wrong, which was really weird too. At 1st I thought it was a tape fault and took it back to be replaced :-) only to find it occured in the exact same place in each copy. Like I said, WEIRD!! I've also noticed on this list that people hate All The Voices, off The Swing album and I can't see why. I think it's cool, as are all the tracks from The Swing (though my mood fluctuates when it come to Face The Change), in fact I can't really fault a single one (unlike their other albums, which IMHO always contain 1 filler or duff track, known affectionately as the skipped track on my CD player). I think there are a lot of missed opportunities to have broken the band earlier in the UK if the tracks released as singles had been more adventurous. The Swing should have been a smash hit of an album here in the UK, as it was of the time, and not hanging on the coat-tails of musical fashion, as their previous albums had been. Burn For You, Melting In The Sun, Love Is What I Say, Original Sin, Johnson's Aeroplane, all original sounding compared to most from 1984. I just think Hungry says it all, and is a strong title ta boot :-) If anyone has any CD bootlegs (high quality) for sale, of the Swing tour can they let me know, cos I'd be very interested.
