You are getting confused with 'Prehistoria', which was played before 'Soul Mistake' on the 1983 U.S. tour (as per your 'don't look at me' bootleg) and before 'Night of Rebellion' on the Australia tour. You will also find 'Prehistoria' on INXSIVE and the B-side to the Night of Rebellion single (which if anyone is deperate for this single I know someone who is selling one for $100 (Aust) which is what have to pay for this single it's so rare! 'The Harbour' (which has Andrew singing) is only available as the b-side to Australian 7" of Dancing on the Jetty (which I still have a spare one to sell, Stay Young has been sold btw).

Its such a tragedy about Princess Di and my heart goes out to her family and also to the family of the other people killed in the accident. (did everyone forget that other people died to??) I guess its hard to appreciate how bad it can get for celbs considering in Australia the media isn't to bad (certainately not as bad as the UK) Anyway on to INXS, I spent time at my parents house last weekend and whilst watching videos i found some INXS video clips and Rooms for the Memory. I also got a chance to listen to Move On and I'm Coming (Home) for the first time yesterday. Both are great songs!!

Mike Chen wrote: > this question has been bugging me for some time:does anyone know what the > FMDH metaphor means? I've heard it used other places-Belly has a great song > called Full Moon Empty Heart and when I worked at Tower there was this cd > in the clearence bin by Gary somebody (not Beers) called Full Moon Under > Empty. Don't think for a minute that what I'm saying is in anyway concrete fact, I'm just guessing here and you might be interested. If there is any original metaphor 'motif' Michael would probably use it with his very own twist anyway. To me the following is what I thought about that song's lyric's after I heard it. Apparently Michael wrote the song on the ferry to the Isle of Capri. This leads one to believe he looked up in the sky where there was indeed a "full moon", also there was probably a mass of great black, some could say "dirty" clouds in the sky and a "deep blue sea" etc. So most of the song is literal rather than metaphorical. Except as you seem to suggest, when he refers to "Dirty-Hearts". Here he seems to be referring to in somewhat pessimistic terms, the deeds done wrong to him or someone by the collective negative (persons) on this planet. The negative being all the "dirty hearts" which are not specified so clearly. It aids me when thinking about this song, to analyse other songs where he uses the word "dirty" like "Days of Rust" - Dirty money, washed rich. Suck me honey, it's a cinch :"Men and Women" - Dirty little secrets, kept behind my back:"Girl on Fire" - Out of the shadows, comes a dirty song:"Communication" - I won't leave this...dirty place. In most of these songs he uses the word in it's most negative/cynical/pessimistic form (a word is made negative by the words that surround it by my definition). In Full Moon I think it's the same theme, Michael's biggest inspiration lyrically on the last few albums has been without a doubt, the press (media) the knocker's etc. Michael in the song "Full Moon Dirty Hearts" is only saying something common to us all on occasions. The situation he was in literally was as good as it gets sometimes ("that's all we can hope for"), he was alone (or maybe with his girl) as we all wanna be when in a mood of despair. "The press and hassles of the day were millions of miles away" (that's my own lyric by the way), it was night time and there was a full moon with a dirty big black cloud that mirrored his mood. You only have to replace the word "full" with "half" and suddenly the song wouldn't make sense. You can hope for more than just half a moon - Sooner or later that full moon will come around again and we can all escape and get away for a small while - "I swam away that day". Whoa!!! what the hell did I just write By the way Michael (Chen), was it you who tabbed "Time", well done it's my third fave song, thanx. > BTW love the way you changed song quotes like " i love it brother , just > keep talking " >Lynn Lynn what's BTW (I won't say forgive my ignorance cause you already found (somebody gave you) the medicine for that). I consider myself a lyricist, musician, I've written about 250 poems/lyrics and 20 songs. When I'm listening to INXS (or others) songs and I happen to find myself singing or humming along (I can't sing very well mind you, but,.... that never stopped anyone. And If you want to write music you have to disregard your own imperfections), I quite often change the lyrics to suit any particular mood. I developed this skill because I have listened to each and every INXS song, bar a few, more than 1000+ times each. The melodies are echoing around the inner mechanics of my mind! It's an invaluable learning tool to be so attached to one band so ardently. To be able to create words over the top of a melody (vversa) so quickly is a fun thing to do, if and when you get there that is. By the way Lynn and other's I think Deliver Me is winning the by now infamous 'flame war'! HA HA! We shall fight at the concerts, We shall....... XS wins anytime any place. But in a cruel twist and quite unashamedly, peace!... Yes peace, has, been found through the thoughtlessly, unprovoked and casual slaughter of an innocent bystander - 'Men and Women' (Hompf!). (DON'T anybody take me SERIOUSLY here I'm trying to be funny through xssive use of overstatements). This Deliver Me thing is great fun! Men and Women is the song that most of all walks furtherest away from the INXS norm. Their is no escape in it. However I love the song, and the album, but I'm biased I'm a professional pessimist and a constant cynic....most of the time. That's my Twenty dollars worth. Toby Creswell in Rolling Stone 92'?? said it - 'Men and Women' was undoubtedly the best song on the album. He also stated the album 'Welcome to Wherever You Are', was the best since KICK (Shudder to think what he thinks about X then) and gave it 3 and a 1/2 out of 5. Not that any of you care what Toby Creswell said 5 years ago. I just think he's one of the (credible) music journos who followed INXS pretty closely. >..........all started years ago, when I was a very young lass watching Mtv, >when they actually played music.

It's so much like the X-files. AImee you were a "true fan" before me. Although I remember listening to a song I didn't recall it's name, on a tiny radio back in 82/83? It affected me somehow but not enough to ponder the further investigation of which band it was or what the song's name was. In retrospect I can now inform you it was 'Don't Change'. I didn't really 'get' what music was about back then, it barely raised my eyebrow. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CONTAINS TWO (2) CENSORED PROFANITIES One day in 87/88, on a weekend, it was the usual, I was sitting with my younger brother (some yards away) watching some video hits show. Not so much for the music, but for the visual aspect and - there wasn't much else to do anyway. Suddenly....ho, hum.. shazam!! this 'intricate' drum pattern descends from the television, images stream across the screen like something is approaching. The this guy trying (succeeding) to look cool simply whispers "Come over Here". Literally inviting you (me) to listen. Suddenly the reason why he wants you to listen is extremely obvious.... DENT DENT DENT...DENENENENENENE NENT. It was at this stage that I muttered in typical, confused teenage fashion "What kinda s##t is this"! He simply stated "dunno"....Ever so slowly the rhythm and the 'hook' like muted guitar was catching my senses. My feet started tapping and my head started to rock YEAH I was chair dancing!! It was at this stage that again in the abovementioned teenspeak I uttered my first words of devotion to INXS. Only my brother was there, but I woulda told anyone. ""Whatever it is it's F##### brilliant!"". Well, I didn't claim to be a poet by that stage so what can I say. From there I listened intently to the radio for this song, I had to find out who made this sound and how I could possess it! For the first time in my life I asked my mother to buy me something, when it wasn't even my birthday........Yep........INXS **** KICK. I UNDERSTAND!!! Did I forget anything, anyone? ______ My sympathies for all who experience anguish over the sad death of Princess Diana, to me she seemed to be an icon of what's civilised in this world.

It's getting to be crunch time. I sent a message to the LIST last Thursday, in hopes of getting some information on this show. I got a couple of e-mails referencing the show but no, zero, nada, concrete information. Neil has posted to his web site that the date changed from 03 September to 05 September and now has listed a venue. I tried to find out what is going on in York, PA, and behold, it's a damn Livestock Fair. This fair is unusual in that hosts *star* performers before its grandstand. ... I can see it now, "Yup, I winna' the fa'r an' got me a sida beef. An' wall I was thar' some crazy boys from Austral'a was thar' hoppin' 'round all o'er the place playin' 'lectreec geetars an' stuff." Yikes! Is this thing going be all right? Is this show really going to take place with the band having to be in Atlanta the following night, some 12 hours away for their stage gear by truck? If everything is for real, this looks like it might be a very intimate show. It will be outside (I assume), but a relatively small crowd for sure. It is my intent to call the event organizers tomorrow and I will report what I find out to the LIST. Meanwhile, are there any other interested parties out there who have any additional information? Any is very much appreciated. This is a fair road trip for me (3+ hours), but I want to do it if the show is going to happen.

I'm shocked no one has posted about the show yet (or at least it hasn't come across my computer yet.) Let me start by saying, Abby, John, Teresa, Dennis, Rhonda, Kim, and everyone else, it was great to meet you all! In a word, Saturday was AMAZING!!! I was the VIP person for the show (thanks Mary!) and was to meet everyone at 4:30. We were all pretty much there, but there were no passes yet. FInally, they got me my pass around 5:15 or so, and we all went in. I went backstage, found the appropriate people, and got the passes for everyone. While I was back there, I got to see the tour bus, meet their wardrobe lady, see the equipment being set up, etc. We initially thought we'd all get to meet them before the show, but as it turns out, the radio station that was sponsoring the show (Riversplash '97 by WRVR 101.1, I think) hogged all the before meet-and-greet time, so we all pretty much hung out in the backstage "holding area." The band went on around 9:15. I was in the photo pit at the beginning, so I had a really great view of everything. The set was pretty much like Brian described from the KC show. I'd been a bit worried about Michael's ankle, but when he appeared on stage, he had no noticeable pain or limp, nor did he mention it during the show. He spent the majority of EW writhing around the stage, facing the rest of the band, and only toward the end began to really face the audience. Michael was wearing a nice black suit with a matching vest, a white shirt and a black and white vertically striped tie knotted in a full Windsor, After the first few songs, he took off the jacket, vest, and tie, then changed his belt (he originally had on a woman's belt, wanted to wear a man's-I have no idea how/why the whole belt thing happened) and introduced his wardrobe guy to the audience. Later, he took off the white shirt, revealing a black tank top with a golden dragon on it. Kirk had on blue (?) velvet pants, a red-orange shirt, and at first, a brown leather jacket. TIm wore black pants, a chartreuse jacket, and a big black cowboy hat. It looked like Gary had on black jeans and a blue shirt. I'm not sure what Jon or Andrew had on; they were too far away, and it appeared to be all black clothing. Maybe someone else can help me out here? The show went on for about 1 hr, 45 mins. It was really well done, no problems that I'm aware of. Michael went into the audience several times, which really seemed to please everyone. Brian's comment about Michael's ability to bring women to orgasm with a look is certainly a pretty accurate one. During Mediate (he had no cheat sheet, blank or otherwise) he was about 4 feet from me. There were probably around 30 other females of varying ages around me, and as he sang he smoked a cigarette very slowly. I'm not a smoker, but let me tell you, after the song was over, I needed a cigarette--or at least, I wanted to be *his* cigarette :-) After the show, we all went backstage. I got them to each sign my shirt, got some great pictures, and got to hang out and talk to everyone, especially Tim and Kirk. They are fabulous, or, as Kirk would say, "Shagdelic!" I had my picture taken with Michael and Kirk, got a kiss on the lips from Mike (my inner 14 year old died!), a hug and kiss on the cheek from Tim, and a hug from Kirk. Also, as a HUGE Dogs in Space fan, I had a really bizarre moment. When Abby, Teresa and I first approached Michael he was all alone over at the bar mixing a drink for himself and singing to himself. We asked him to sign our shirts, he said he would, but not before he had a cigarette. Then he turned directly to me and asked "Have you got a cigarette?" with the exact same tone, timing, etc. as how he asks Anna for one at the party in the movie when the Girl is asking Anna what it's like to be in love with "that thing." I Immediately felt like I'd been zapped into the movie, and it was all I could do to not answer with her responding line. In the end, someone gave him a Marlboro and a light, and he signed our stuff for us. I don't know about when he was having is pic made with Abby and Teresa, but when he was posing with me he sort of growled--very interesting! After talking with Michael, I went over and spoke with Tim. He said he loved the List, and wishes he could be on it more, but touring sort of makes him a busy man. He does seem to enjoy it a lot, though. It was very cool to talk to him and have him remember various things I've said, my maiden name, etc. Now I know he really does read and remember what we all do! Kirk is a riot! We hung out with him until everyone started to leave. Somehow, I ended up in a discussion with him about the movie "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery." He told me he's seen it about 10 times, has the script and video, and can quote the entire thing. I don't doubt it. He also gave me a few glasses of some really great wine, that I'm afraid I drank a little too quickly. Oh well. After a while, the crowd began to thin out, and so we all left. Mitch (my husband) and I went back to the Ritz to see them. When we got there, there weren't too many other people around, and Michael was the only one in the bar area. We didn't stay too long, as there was some sort of wedding reception going on and the place was full of people in tuxes and gown, while we had on jeans and t's. In all, it was a fabulous evening I'll never forget! I was so glad that the band were as cool and nice and funny as I'd always hoped. We got some really great pictures that I'll be sending to Mary this week, so I'm sure one or two may end up in an upcoming issue of the fanclub newsletter. I'll also be putting together a Web page in the next few days, and I'll let you all know when it's up and running with all the concert and after-show pics.

Here in Dallas, there is a radio station called 93.3 The Zone (the same station that brought us the INXS concert at www.audionet.com. I've been listening to them a lot lately and they always advertise how they want people to go to their website and leave feedback, so I did. One of the thing I said to them was that I was happy that they were giving INXS a fair amount of airplay (which they have) but that I was dissapointed at how they play songs off of Kick too often and that they should play more of their recent stuff. I also told them what time of day I listen to the radio, because they tape their shows when I usually listen (12 - 2 in the morning) and I was tired of them re-using tapes. Finally, at the end they ask people what their five favorite albums are, and the first one I put was WTWYA. Tonight, I was coming home and they had a new tape going this evening and right about 1:15 they played Not Enough Time. I just thought that it was really cool that they put a song on their late night tape off an album I asked them to play and even put the song on the tape at a time when I listen. So, aside from me getting to tell a really cool story, I just want to plug the radio station again. If you live in Dallas, listen to 93.3 The Zone and go to the website (www.933thezone.com) and tell them what you want to hear because they REALLY are paying attention to what people send to them and they really do support INXS.

I FINALLY just finished my 30-page paper (naturally, originally due last spring, extended until tomorrow, and I wait until 2 days before to do it! but hey, I've had other priorities this past week!) which is why I haven't written until now. so, it's 2 am and my brain is fried, so bear with me . . . Anyway, St. Louis was an absolute BLAST!! The band sounded the best I've ever hear them, and that's saying a lot, since there's no such thing as a bad INXS concert. They were so full of energy, and every song sounded absolutely perfect. Like Nanci said, not one cheat sheet during the whole show, and every word to Mediate was right on. Michael, I would say, spent about a third of the concert in the crowd and even went up to the second tier of seats to sing Never Tear Us Apart (much to the delight of a group of young girls who quickly surrounded him). He was also very talkative--delivered a "monologue" while he was changing out of his woman's belt (you know, you've got six guys up here from Australia, and so if it weren't for the band we'd all be criminals! so go out and buy our new CD if you don't want to see me end up a junkie on the street! [somehow, I don't ever see that happening!]) They were also pretty playful. At one point Michael played the keyboards while Andrew sang (it sounded familiar, but I couldn't place my finger on it--anyone know a song that Andrew sings?) until Andrew said, what the f** am I doing? and switched back. Also, for a couple of songs Jon was chair dancing away in the back! Afterwards, as Nanci and Teresa explained, was great. I still can't get over how friendly they all are!! For example, right when we got there, Tim immediately offered to get us all beers; Kirk, the HUGEST sweetheart as always (as was Tim), asked us how we liked our seats and said, "what happened to you! I saw you standing in the front for the first few songs, but then you disappeared!' (d** security!), and Michael was more than happy to pose for pictures with everybody. Oh, I almost ith you! Can't wait to do it again someday!

I finally found myself a copy of the magazine It which was released in August and am in the process of transcribing it for everybody who is still interested in it. Give me a week or so, it should be up in my page then. Probably will be in the Other Stuff section... I also got myself a copy of the Brixton Academy concert! UNBELIEVABLE. It was so cool. They played songs like Strangest Party, Freedom Deep and a great version of Devil Inside. Get this, there was a guy who jumped up on stage and shook Michael's hand and stuff. No security! Michael let him stay up there for about three songs and he just sat at the base of Jon's drums. For anyone interested, I saw in Parramatta the other day (suburb near Sydney) that a shop has for sale and fully autographed copy of KICK mounted behind a glass frame. They are selling it for $950 Australian dollars. Anyway great to see Mike back on his feet, I told you to have faith, they don't give in that easily *laugh* Great to hear everyone is enjoying the US tour.

I haven't seen them for a couple of years now, the last show being at Festival Hall in Melbourne, and as always, they were excellent! What I wanted to do was tell you about a scrapbook I have, that I started way back when they were just starting to be noticed, with lots of clippings, and some early pictures, very young INXS indeed.Unfortunately, looking through it, it looks like I have cut a lot of the dates off to fit the articles on the pages.It's very interesting reading though. There are 19 full pages, and a couple of loose articles, and the reason that I am mentioning all of this is, although it is fun to look back on it occasionally, I thought maybe one of you younger fans may really enjoy looking at it, and I'm offering it free to a good home, so if anyone really wants it, please email me privately.

And for any guitarists out there... I beleive the song is in Aminor pentatonic (If I can remeber right from memory) so you can play that intro riff which is easy to get hold of.

Over the last 5 years with INXS's poor sales performance in Australia the occurence of Second Hand INXS vinyl/tapes/cds has dramatically increased in S-H stores. I've noticed this trend cause I've picked up some absolute bargains in some instances. Just the other day I was looking through a sales 'bin' and their was the usual KICK, FULL MOON etc then low and behold a cassette - New Sensation, Extended Verion (I didn't have this particular recording). I asked the guy at the counter how much and he said $1 dollar thanks. The picture of the girl on the sleeve's worth more than that, what a bargain. I expect there are lots of bargains better than that around to. Regrettably, If ARIA charted INXS on the number of people off-loading their old recordings, INXS would chart rather impressively.

If you can get tickets for it Okay, the more I think about it, the more I wonder why INXS is suddenly skipping over so many places where they used to play. Is it because their mainstream popularity isn't as widespread as it was in the '80s? Is it something we said?! ;> I know that touring is an expensive thing to do, so I suppose I can't really blame them for hitting fewer cities. Still, it's puzzling to me HOW they've trimmed their itinerary. Ignoring Dallas? Bypassing whole states where they previously played (to respectably-sized audiences)? I won't even start in on my disappointment about how they're completely skipping the entire state of North Carolina... in favour of... SOUTH Carolina? (My apologies to any SC natives on the list.

I am deeply saddened for humanity. Tragic though this event must be for those close to the woman, the event is hardly earth-shaking. I, for example, simply find all the media attention on this annoying. Besides, politically speaking, this is the best thing to happen to the British Royal family in years: they garner sympathy and get rid of someone who might have been embarrassing had she remarried. Having Charles die in an accident might have been better, I suppose, but he's family.... Makes one wonder if this wasn't planned. > People it's use who ultimately killed her. The paparazzi work for us. Hope > we don't let it happen again. I beg to differ: there is no such thing as joint accountability. People are responsible only for their own actions, not those of others. Certainly one should not sanction others' evil acts, but there are different levels of sanction. The equations are complicated, but blanket statements like the above merely muddle the issue. For example, some people (myself included) have never read a tabloid (British or otherwise), so these people have not sanctioned the paparazzi in any fashion. Well, enough philosophy for today...

About Playing God: As most of you know, i work at a movie theatre, and hear the preview for playing god every 1/2 on our preview in the lobby! Well they changed the preview recently. Before i had it down to a science of when i would hear the beautiful harmonica chime in. It catches people's attention and then someone yells "You gotta love it!!" (yes you sure do) :)...now the song isn't as big a part as it used to be...but at least it is still there... Two people from a some sneak preview place were in the theatre, and i got into a conversation about inxs and playing god, and told me unfortunatly, the song is not IN the movie, only in the previews :(...so don't go to that movie to look for the song, it won't be there... Later that day, i was standing outside a thetre, and heard SB blasting form the theatre...suddenly i was hypnotzed and was force (by a higher power) to enter the theatre to listen to the preview!!! ah...the effect INXS has on me :) That same week my boss asked me if that was me in the front row of an INXS performence on VH1 (meaning the Hard Rock Live)...OF COURSE THAT WAS ME!!! But it was just funny that he noticed me in the front during the performance...not even knowing i was there!!! HA!!!

Anyway, I sort of see the same up here in Brisbane - lot of cheap inxs stuff, also a lot of cheap newer stuff too. But the best place to get bargains is in the non-music collector shops. I usually go to the normal second hand music shops, because sometimes they sell quite rare stuff very cheaply, if you're lucky enough to find anything. Anyway, happy bargain hunting everyone!

I have to agree with Nanci - the show was incredible!!!!! Thanks for everything!!!! A special "Thanks" to Kirk for coming through with some great tix for us (Shagadelic!). However, we decided that since we were such INXS fanatics, we deserved to sneak down to the front row. We were able stay there for about 7 or 8 songs? (I don't know how long it was - it seemed like time was standing still, yet flying by, if you know what I mean) before we were asked to go back to our seats. Needless to say, we made it back down to the first couple of rows more than once. While we were in the front row, Kirk noticed us right away and started mugging for our camera, and sticking out his tongue at us, and stuff. Let me say - they kicked ass! Michael was super sexy, and all over the place. I still get chills every time I listen to the beginning of "Elegantly Wasted". Abby and I lost our voices from screaming so loud. After the show, we were able to go back to their dressing room, where Kirk immediately came up and gave me a big hugg and a kiss on the lips, and asked if we received the tix okay. What a sweetie!! We then took some great pictures with Andrew, Tim, and Gary. As Nanci said, Michael was singing to himself (Nanci or Abby - do you remember what he was singing???), making drinks, and just being cool. I told him that we missed him in Milwaukee, and he told me he was sorry, but he hurt his ankle. I told him I was sorry about that, and I hoped his ankle felt better, and he said that it did, thank you. I then received a kiss (on the lips) :) and he signed my shirt (which I was wearing at the time). I started to laugh, and when he asked why, I told him that it tickled. He then proceeded to doodle in a very strategic place on my shirt, to make me laugh even harder. We also took the most awesome picture together (thanks Abby)! :) We then hung with Nanci, Mitch, John, Abby and Kirk for awhile. Kirk asked us to meet them back at the hotel for drinks, which we did, but we got a little lost along the way. (Nanci, we must have just missed you). Sunday morning, Abby and John took us back to the airport, where who did we run into? Kirk, Michael, Jon, Tim, Andrew, Gary, JD, Shelly.... We chatted with them for awhile (they are so sweet). They were on their way to Vancouver, with a stop in Seattle. We then had some breakfast, and Michael wandered in to where we were eating. After he ate, he stopped to say Goodbye to us, which was so sweet. All in all - the weekend was the best! I can't give out enough thanks to Nanci and Mitch, John and Abby (please thank Tom for us), Kirk, and the rest of the band!!!!!! -Teresa Date: Tue, 02 Sep 1997 18:52:59 -0500 From: Teresa Velasquez To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] Atlanta Tickets Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi All, I'm inquiring if anybody has an extra ticket for the upcoming show in Atlanta.

This is one of the best interviews I've seen on TV and Michael also spoke about the media and how much they hound celebrities.I was proud of the way he handled the interview, so cool and didn't simply use it as a "bitch session" about the media. He even told of one incident at a Restraunt when a photgrapher dilerately pushed over Pixie (one of Paula's kids), just to get her to cry and try and sell a story along the lines of "Life with Paula and Michael." What really got my attention was when he looked directly into the camera, slightly raised his voice (But angrily, but more serious), and extended his arms and said "Look, you ther public are being ripped off." And I'm serious when I say he would know. After all, the media have been hounding him for a while now, and what better person to get for a special about the Media than the man who knows them well? - Glenn Date: Wed, 03 Sep 1997 11:15:37 -0700 From: glenn@internet-australia.com (glenn) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Odds and Ends in OZ Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Justin Rice wrote: > (snip) > Regrettably, If ARIA charted INXS on the number of people off-loading > their old recordings, INXS would chart rather impressively.

The British Royal Family includes William and Henry and there is no way that this is "the best thing" for them. No child should have to grow up without a mother, royal or otherwise.

Hopefully either spiderbait or powderfinger will walk way with the award for Australia's best band, and I think Jebediah is nominated for the new group category - if they are I hope they win. It'd be excellent for Aussie bands like Sidewinder (my fav. 'new' aussie band) or Jebediah to support INXS when they tour Australia. Anyway, try and check out the channel V website, I'll try and find it.

No they are not in the hall of fame, and since they will not be in Australia when the ARIA Awards are held, they wont get it this year.

Yes it is called Blue Heelers...I can sort of see the the connection between the theme music and the intro to 'Night of Rebellion'. Blue Heelers is the most popular show in Australia going by the ratings each week, but I don't like it. The best Australian t.v. soap was Echo Point! This show was described as the WORST Australian t.v. show EVER by most of the media and got axed after only a few months, is it shown anywhere in the world? Please let me know, as I was an extra in 3 episodes back in July 1995 and my parents have lost the video, so I'm hoping I can get a video of the episodes again, but because it was so bad in most people's opinions I doubt if it will ever be shown again in Australia! The show really wasn't as bad as everyone said. So if its shown on t.v anywhere in the world please email me. As for song of the week, since it was a single here in Australia I've always imagined what the video for this song would look like if they had made one for it. Poor choice of a single by Deluxe (hence it didn't chart), they only released it because INXS were leaving to go to WEA. 'Fairweather Ahead' would have been a much better choice IMO. Matthew.

These are fairly expensive machines, so I wouldn't suggest going out and buying one. You might want to check at a special tape duplication service (they do exist), or better, at the foreign language department of the largest university in your area.

Where I sit at work, there is an executive assistant who is Spanish. I finally put two and two together and asked her what those exact words translate to. She got a very softened look on her face and went "Ohh" as if remembering a romantic moment long ago (this is why you don't ask these things at work). Anyway, she said the song means "Sing and don't cry". Sort of like what someone would say to you to comfort you if you were sad. Or if they were trying to cheer you up. Hope this helps. And yes, I'm very sure that I am accurate on this one. Nick Steph wrote: > At 01:28 AM 9/3/97 -0700, you wrote: > >>it was the spanish song, wasn't it?

To all interested parties, list member MaryLynn (SKEETS1008@aol.com) and myself have dug up the following information: -What: INXS concert -Who: INXS, of course, band of world renown greatness -When: 05 September 1997 -Where: York Fair Grounds, York, PA. I'm still figuring out how to get there. -Why: For your entertainment pleasure. -How: Tickets on sale now. Direct line 717-848-2033, but only between 9am-6pm, Eastern time. General information number is 717-848-2596. Now for the boring details... Both MaryLynn and I have made contact with Fair Grounds. The operator kept wanting to put me through to ticket sales when I was asking for ticket information. Once there, all I ever got was a solid busy signal. I said, "STOP! All I need is a little, teenie-weenie bit o' blessed information. I don't want to buy tickets yet." So the operator answered my questions. That was nice of her. MaryLynn and I both got info. that says, "Yes, INXS is definitely on for Friday night!" I tried to ask the operator too many questions though; I started to feel guilty for using her time. The tickets are $15.00 and $18.00. Apparently the $18.00 tickets are for the "center grandstand" and the $15.00 tickets are for...? I couldn't quite figure that out. She was speaking with an aire of intimate familarity with the situation while I was trying to decipher "the talk". Anyway, I found out that the price of admission to the fair is $4.00(mandatory). The price for parking is $4.00(mandatory). The direct ticket line is 717-848-2033. The hours for at least Thursday are 9AM-6PM. As mentioned above, I got nothing but busy signals when I dailed direct or was transferred. The operator on Tuesday said that "all three lines were busy" before attempting a transfer. So, looks like pretty much a crap shoot for tickets. I just can't imagine that there's going to be too large a crowd there and am contemplating waiting until that evening to buy. The only danger is if there is some big "unknown-to-the-omniscient-INXS-list-members" radio-oriented promotion out of Harrisburg, York, or Lancaster. That would undoubtedly claim a big chunk of quality tickets. What do you suppose the chances of that are? ANYONE out there know someone in HARRISBURG, YORK, or LANCASTER? The whole show is on such short notice, I'm not sure what to do? Do I try to spend half of my work day trying to buy tickets, or just show up and hope for the best? Suggestions are welcome. MaryLynn (from the southeastern PA) has suggested a meeting for anyone going to this show. I'll be coming from the northernmost part of VA. Is there anybody else interested? I can give you my work number through private e-mail (800 number), and we can work to set something up. It will be short notice, but we will see what we can do, eh?

First of all, I agree with this comment that Sharon has made. Also, while I know Erik wasn't wishing death on Charles, looking at the possible outcome as a positive thing as if it should have happened to another person is not something to be taken lightly. BTW, word is that Diana has more Royal blood in her than Charles himself. > Do you really think those two boys are better off without a mother? I sincerely > hope that you were just having a bad day when you wrote this, and I suggest > you take five minutes to think of all the great things this lady did for > the "not so lucky" people of this world. Again, I agree. Look at the Aids Victims, Land Mine campaigns that Diana has actually gotten down on her knees and interacted with. As for her two Boys, she showed them how everyday people live. She gave them money and brought them clothes. This to me, shows that she does actually care for for everyday people. Anyway, this is way off topic, so lets relate it to INXS. Lets go back to Michael Hutchence's Australian Witness interview : "The media is something celebreties put up with." And like I said before : he would know. He's probably one of the most famous Australians there is and he's put up with all kinds of stuff in the past. Heck, he punched a photographer one day, so what else can I say? I'm hoping to end this Priness Diana thread, so in closing, I'd like to quote the first couple of lines from an INXS song : "In a room above a busy street, the echos of a life. The Fragments and the accidents seperated by the incidents." Okay, so it's not the greatest lyrics in the world, but what I mean is this : If anything is shown from this media coverage from Dianas death, I seriously hope it's how frail and precious a human life truly is. - Glenn Date: Thu, 04 Sep 1997 16:36:46 -0700 From: glenn@internet-australia.com (glenn) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] INXS SOTW#52 - Night of Rebellion (And aussie soaps) Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Matthew Marsland wrote: > > At 12:30 AM 2/09/97 +0100, you wrote: > > >This song, no matter how times I play it reminds me of an Australian > >police soap, I think its called Blue Healers.... its very Aussie outback > >IMHO... > > Yes it is called Blue Heelers...I can sort of see the the connection > between the theme music and the intro to 'Night of Rebellion'.

The shows can't choose to play INXS, it just depends what record company does a deal with the show. E Street probably just played songs by WEA/East West that's why they played INXS, while Home & Away plays songs by Mushroom artists. Echo Point played songs by BMG artists, that's why they never played any INXS. Even though they didn't play INXS it was still a cool show, yes believe it but this is just my opinion. Did you actually watch more than one episode to form your opinion of Echo Point, or did you just listen to what the media said? Matthew.

I agree that the *extensive* coverage is getting a bit annoying, but it is tragic and a lot of people care about it. I'd also disagree with you on the point of this being better for the Royal family; it's not.

Date: Fri, 05 Sep 97 15:18:00 EST Encoding: 25 TEXT Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi everybody, I want to pose a question to the list with regards to FMDH. I don't see what is so bad about the album. In fact I think its great! I have seen a lot of references to it from list members who don't like it. Also whenever the band is asked about it they simply say that it was made in their wilderness period. Its as if they agree that its a weak album. I dissagree strongly. I think the album has some very strong points. The direction they took in some songs worked really well. Songs like Viking Juice, I'm only looking and freedom deep are different yet work really well. They haven't distanced themselves as much as some songs from WTWYA and EW but at the same time the songs all seem to work. Some of the songs off WTWYA and EW are quite different but some of them don't really work. I'm not saying that those two are bad albums (in fact WTWYA is my favourite). I'm also not saying that FMDH doesn't have weak points. I just wanted to stick up for the album. I think it is a great INXS album that has received undeserved bad publicity. Any other opinions?

In some ways, I feel it is their best album. Time and Make Your Peace are two of the most hard hitting rock songs they have made and I think they are just fabulous tunes. Please... and Full Moon are more bluesy than what they typically do and I like that kind of music. Also, the album is much more varied than anything they've done to date and the album really shows breadth of the band's musical capability. On the opposite side of the coin, they state in the liner notes that the album was a bit rushed and looking at the production on most of the album, it shows. Most of the songs don't sound as well polished as what we typically see from the band. To a certain extent, I can see where sometimes they were looking for a more raw sound, but they achieved the effect much better in EW by polishing the songs before they actually played them. They way they did it in FMDH sounds more like they were taping an improvisational session than an album. And then, along side both of these comments is the experimentation. Without the experimentaiton they did, I doubt that the album would be as varied as it is, so I have to look at it as a good thing. On the other hand, it seems that sometimes they forgot to mix their experiments in with something more solid. I'm Only Looking has nice fast guitar rift backed up by a bass line, but lyrics just sort of lie there on top of it. Sometimes I can't tell if the song is trying to be upbeat (like Suicide Blonde) or a moderately paced ballad (like Freedom Deep, which is done MUCH better). Overall though, if I were to rank the albums, I would probably place it fourth behind WTWYA, Kick, and LLT. Davy J.

(snip) > > Any other opinions? Sorry to cut out most of your post, Colin, but here's my 5 cents worth: I was one of those people that looked at the cover of Full Moon Dirty Hearts and shuddered at first. The band looked like they had decided to explore the darker side to themselves and I thought they were trying to impersonate some more hard core music celebrities. (as one magazine put it, Micheal looks like Lenny Kranvitz' dad) I picked up the CD for $9 at HMV, so I thought the album was going to be terrible, but upon listening to it, I was wrong. The songs are great, but I knew there was some reason I didn't like the CD... What I think it was is the appearance of the CD. (A minor gripe, I know, but thats just me..) For instance, look at the lyrics and tracklist. The writing is messy and makes the whole CD look (as much as I hate to use this word) cheap. Also, take into consideration that there are photocopies stapled inside the CD inlay, which looks like a two muinute job. I know this is absolutely NOTHING to do with the music, but if anyone asked what I didn't like about the CD, this little thing would have to be it. - Glenn From: "sharon wolstenholme" To: Subject: [INXS] Aussies...INXS Clip On Rage Date: Fri, 5 Sep 1997 21:25:57 +1000 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Not sure if anyone will be interested because of the time, but here goes anyway...

X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 0,17 From: rubenk1@juno.com (Ruben G Koshy) Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Colin, I would have to agree withyou that FMDH gets an extremely undeserved amount of criticism. I mean, the thing I like most about INXS is they are able to experiment with different types of sounds. They love music and want to achieve a higher level of sophistication with every successive album. I know WTWYA is a lot different from their previous albums, but it is my favorite album (OF ALL TIME) because the band mixed the deep bass tracks with deep vocals. The result is clearly INXS yet it is completely different. In the same way, FMDH was an album which showed the extent INXS was willing to go to create new sounds. I think the band dismissed the song as being inferior because they probably want to distance themselves from such a commercial failure. Nevertheless, the album has songs like Please (which is so damn cool with Ray Charles) and Freedom Deep. I probably listen to this CD the most in my college dorm because the songs are lively and unique. I like the rawness of the song because it follows the experimental quality of the album. By the way, my favorite song off of WTWYA is Communication. Does anyone else agree with me?

Anyway, on to FMDH. I personally like only a couple of songs off of the album (Time, Messenger, Days or Rust, The Gift) Perhaps that's because of the traditional guitar sounds. While like any INXS album, I can listen to the whole thing. Unlike other INXS albums, I have no problem hitting the skip button on the CD player for certain songs. I would have to say that INXS certainly were in some sort of funky stage when they made FMDH. I've heard that it was to be part of a double album with WTWYA. I often wonder if they didn't just record a bunch of songs and put them all on tape rather than taking only the best and making one CD. I realize that I'm going to get slammed for saying this, but I often feel that they could have taken the best songs off of FMDH, WTWYA, and EW and made one awesome double CD. Songs like Viking Juice and Questions while interesting and artistic belong on the flip side of a 45, not the header for an album. I'm no producer, but I know what I like to listen to. I consider myself one of the all time INXS fans and after 7 concerts it should be obvious I like what I hear. I personally feel that they haven't come close to the sound quality of X with the last 3 albums. True there are great songs off of the 3 recent albums, but none has the awesome 5 song line up that X has to start the CD! I used to tell my friends that if I died I wanted a copy of UTC buried with me because it was my least favorite album. Well, perhaps today I'd ask for a copy of LBL, but it wouldn't hurt if they threw a copy of the lower quality songs off of WTWYA, FMDH, and EW on there. I look for the day when INXS will go back to putting the experimental stuff on the b-sides and putting only the best stuff on the albums. Just look at The Swing, LLT, Kick, and X. (yes there are weak songs on those too, but only one song per album at most.) To each his or her own I suppose. But I have to imagine somebody out there feels the same way about combining the best off the last 3 albums into one album. Lastly remember, I could listen to every INXS song in a row and not be bored, I just think you need to call a rose "a rose." -Nick From: "BPRice" To: Subject: Re: [INXS] FMDH - Whats the Fuss.

It's just a sub-concious reaction. A lot of people have dissed it as INXS trying to be grunge, but will anybody DARE tell me that songs like FMDH, Please..., Freedom Deep, and most of the other songs sound like grunge? The only two songs even REMOTELY similar to grunge are Days of Rust and Viking Juice, and that's a stretch. I get the feeling too many people are judging it by the cover; it's one of the most consistent potshots taken at the album. Though it did poorly in America, FMDH was successful in other countries, charting in the Top 10 in the UK and doing VERY well in South America (an INXS bastion if there ever was one, and one that the band should feel OBLIGATED to tour in). Also, during an interview on VH-1 around the time of the Greatest Hits, when asks which albums were their favorite, Michael said the last two albums (WtWYA and FMDH). And the bands own attitude towards FMDH seems to extend only to the difficulties they had in making it, not in the music itself.

I also think it was just a psychological reaction because of its poor sales. I found FMDH to be a very enjoyable piece of work. I think INXS has been at an artistic high since the beginning of the 90's. Sure, their 80's releases were great, but their most creative and daring work has obviously been more recent. I think they've evolved over the years and FMDH proves that. Look at the fiery guitar and innovative mixing of "The Gift" (which also has one of the best INXS videos). Not to mention "Freedom Deep", "Cut Your Roses Down", "Time", and my favorite, "The Messenger". When the band members have complained about FMDH, they're referring more to their moods during the recording of the album. They were obviously all reaching some kind of personal crossroads, and the wear and tear of touring and making albums was starting to get to them. But what they did say was that they were trying to get back to their Australian-pub brawling rock 'n roll sounds, and I think FMDH reflects that very well, esp.

One of the reasons I like INXS so much is that they are continually redefining themselves without losing sight of who they are, and that's what I see with this album. While I do agree that it's not one of their best, it's very good and I certainly don't mind listening to the whole CD from beginning to end.

I don't rate the album really highly, althoughmif I'm in the right mood, I love the album. I suppose I say a good Album is one that I can listen to very frequently, but unfortunately FMDH isn't played that frequently on my stereo (when compared to other inxs albums). Perhaps I may like it more in the future!! I really didn't think WTWYA was a great album until about two months ago, when I just sat down and listened to the whole album again --> now I love it!! Of course I always liked Taste It and Heaven Sent, but songs I used to think pretty poorly of, like communication, I very much enjoy now. I have always liked Stange Desire, and now I think it's perhaps the most under-rated INXS song, it is simply awesome! (There was some disuccion last week about Men and Women, well I like it too!)

Songs like The Gift, Viking Juice, and Time are true INXS gems, while the sqealing background voices on Cut Your Roses Down have you singing along as well. Days of Rust suffers from really silly lyrics, but again it rocks hard and provides a very fitting introduction to INXS' most surprising album of all time.

I had the best time. Three other groups performed before INXS: Samantha Cole(R&B?), DJ Company(Dance), Inner Circle(Reggae). INXS were a little late for some reason unknown to me. They were supposed to go on at 9pm but didn't get on stage until 9:30 and ended at something around 11pm. They started out with Elegantly Wasted and ended with Suicide Blonde, I think. I was all the way up front to see them. This was a seated concert but we were allowed to get up and stand in front of the stage for INXS. I was at the edge of the stage and I watched Jon about all night. I drummed along with him by tapping out his parts on the edge of the stage. He could see me so it was pretty cool. Kirk had on the orange shirt that he wore in the Lorely pic. Tim had on this wild green suit with green outlined sunglasses. Jon wore the black sparkly shirt that he had on in one of the US tv show appearances. Michael wore a black suit, white shirt, and an orange tie. Garry had on a green shirt and Andy had his fake UPS outfit on and he was wearing glasses. I took pictures of the concert as they were allowed. I'm going to get them processed today before I go to work. I will post on meeting Jon later today. Karen From: "Ken Tenney" To: Subject: [INXS] INXS plays York, PA!!!! Date: Sat, 6 Sep 1997 11:38:31 -0500 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi all, Wa Hoo!!! I got home bleary-eyed at 2:00AM after seeing the incomparable INXS in concert last night. It was great to see INXS again after such a long time for me (first time since 1990). The guys are still rocking in a big way, indeed. Sorry, I didn't get to meet anyone from the list last night. Maybe in DC? I loved the show, though I certainly can't say much for the local folks' enthusiasm! I felt like I was one of the few participating. I didn't get to the show until about 9PM. I was stuck trying to finish off some projects before I left work. I was driving to the show and did a radio scan about an hour away from York. I picked up the local station, broadcasting live from the Fairgrounds. At 8:00PM, they say, "INXS is playing on the main stage"...What the f***!?! What about opening acts? Talk about a panic. I'm thinking to myself, "Great, I travel to do this and I get to see about 30min!!!" 25 min. later the same dorky DJ comes back on and says that INNER CIRCLE(?) has just closed their set, and INXS is going to come on in 10 minutes. Well, I know that that's not true. Whew!!! I made it there at 8:50PM. I got down to the track and scouted out my seat (12th row, center). I decided to do something I don't normally do, just camp out down front. I didn't make it all the way down to center and front. I don't like to be too pushy and I need space to put my butt to shakin', so I was happy in the right aisle, just in front of Tim. He's such a happy guy!!! I get so hyper for the start a show, I can't stand it. I didn't really want to leave my "position" to look for other list members. If any other list members were there other than Karen from MD, aka, INXSBABE@aol.com; or MaryLynn, aka, SKEETS1008@aol.com, maybe you saw me. I was near this hulking guy with a dark purple polo shirt at about 6'3" and 270# (good landmark, eh?), while I am an average guy at 5'10", wearing jeans, my concert T, and running shoes. I've got dark hair (almost black). Being an engineer, I also have the mandatory eyeglasses permanently fused to my head. The show was great, start to finish!! INXS hit the stage at about 9:35PM. They played the same short set (1.20) that has been described lately. They did play Don't Change, second song in the encore, not Mystify. The only negative was the lack of energy from the audience. That means everything in creating a great show. I looked around me at times during the show. Hardly anyone was singing or dancing!!! HOW can you see and listen to INXS and not move your butt!?! No, no, Vince Gill is tonight ;-) !!!! It was a bit depressing to hear Michael ask the audience to go and buy EW. I liked all of the song versions. I did really miss Kiss the Dirt. Man, I love that song. I know that they aren't playing it at all this tour, but one of my all time favorites is This Time. I keep hoping that they will play it. Maybe in DC. My favorite song of the entire show was probably I'm Just a Man. I love the building strength of it. It's such a solid song. It has resolution, musically and lyrically. You can tell that Michael is very passionate about this personal song. He acquired an intensity before singing it that was certainly not for show. Can you imagine putting yourself emotionally out there in front of so many people? Pretty neat to witness. MH and Shelly(?), the backup singer, sang that funky little naughty song in Mediate that others have mentioned. BTW, J.D. was not there :-(. Hey, "I'm just a man". What can I say? Dear INXS, please don't be discouraged by the showing of fans at the relatively impromptu show at York. It was an exception, I hope. I certainly appreciated you guys being there. I had a great time. If I were a Washington state-based fan though, I would be pissed at reading this account. To postpone or cancel long-booked shows there to play in this pretty apathetic country town was not too fair to the people living in WA. I am absolutely sure that they would have had a much better time than a lot of the people present last night. Hopefully NJ was better. And good luck in Atlanta tonight. Long live INXS!!! I hope to see everyone who is going to DC show next weekend!!

What a great time we had! This bar was so small inside, but was open in the back, with the ocean behind us. cool site! ( literally and figuratively) The show was incredible ( as always). And it was so much fun being with other members from the list. I think we managed to hand out flyers to just about everyone there, and we still were able to be right up front. There were 7 of us handing out flyers for the fan club, and we were quite zealous in our work, practically "attacking" people as they arrived! Kudos to Kris, Joan, Patty, Neil, Dennis, and Marie. I really enjoyed being with you all. Neil, we'll miss you in New York. We were sooo close to the stage, since there was no space or barrier. While we were waitng for the guys to come on, we posted little notes to them on the front of the small monitors-- "Happy Anniversary" and "Hello from the INXS e-mail list" were two. Tim noticed our notes and pointed at them. He motioned to Neil and us in the front quite a bit. Some other personal highlights-- Garry threw a bottle of water to Kris, and it was passed around among us. It was a great catch! When Michael did his strip down, we got to touch ( and tickle ) his feet. His nails are painted gold. And I came home with one of his socks!! Of everything I have, it has to be my most interesting piece of memoribilia yet. It was thrown right at me. As was another pick from Tim. As for the rest of the show, the guys really seemed to enjoy themselves again. They were very energetic, even though the stage was smaller than usual, and there wasn't as much room for moving around. Michael did have an ace bandage on his ankle, but it didn't slow him down. "Mystify" was left out, but the rest of the list was the same. No cheat sheet for "Mediate" here... but, as I'm sure others will report, there were lyrics to 3 other songs posted up front. "Disappear" was one, we came home with the sheet. However I don't think Michael used them. I thought that the new songs went over just as well as the older ones, esp. "EW" and "DLYH". nice guitar addition to "Mediate" by Tim. After the show we got to briefly say hello to all the guys on their way out. There was no before or after M and G. I guess due to the venue size and lack of dressing room. I'll just have to wait til one of the other NE shows for that, hopefully. We did get to speak to Mike for a few minutes back at the hotel. Tim wanted to try to get the hotel bar opened, but no luck. One more thing to report-- JD did not perform, even though she had hoped to. Kris spoke to her and will tell us about that when she gets to the computer. I guess thats about it from my perspective-- I think its time to go rest my head again. Ros, if you read this and you made it to work this AM, I commend you. Btw, the guys didn't make it on stage til just after 11. Looking forward to the next show...

But that doesn't detract from the sadness of the loss of his life and the others. At least she is being properly eulogized around the world if not all of them. I haven't contacted you recently as I lost your email address. Had to wait to see you post something on the INXS digest. Glad to hear you heard some new INXS songs. I will see them on Tuesday night--I got the VIP laminate pass and the photo pass. I hope the pictures turn out as great as they usually do. I can't wait!!! Thank you for offering to be a pen pal to my class. They are working on their writing, spelling, and letter formation skills in anticipation of writing to you. Right now we are working on complete sentences--they still try to write like they talk--one word sentences/answers :) When you get the chance, let me know what address you would like the letters to be mailed to in Australia. I don't anticipate them writing for another month or so at least. Would you prefer one class letter, or several individual letters? Let me know how much I should send you to cover postage and postcard costs in Australian dollars. If it is ok with you, would you mind sending all responses on postcards? They are excited thinking that they will get postcards from some other country. Most of the kids are from poorer families or recently came here from Haiti and have no money. They will most likely never leave the country on holiday or be exposed to someone like you outside of this experience. This experience will show them that there is a lot more to the world...and maybe inspire them to go out and see more of it. You will truly be making a difference in their lives. Thank you! About you: are you on holiday from school? You mentioned being home in your posting. When do your classes start up again? Mine started on August 27th. Only 97 days until I graduate. Did you go anywhere special for your winter holiday? How long do you get for your holiday? Thank you...I hope you have fun listening to your INXS rareties. Never heard any of the songs you mentioned--what are they like? Have a GREAT day.

It is a great album, probably the best of the year, but how is it doing commercially? This usually means absolutely nothing to me, but I am just a little curious. I think I snagged the only copy they had sold of it where I bought it. At most stores here it is back to original price, about $23.99 or higher, with the exception of some department stores. That's not really a good sign. I was just curious as to how it's doing in the rest of the world. Also, thanks very much to anyone who responded to my message about buying CDs off the Net.

Well, like I have said twice in my last post, it's a MINOR thing. FMDH is a great album, I don't deny that - the music is great! I didn't say I DIDN'T LIKE the album because of the package design. I said AT FIRST I didn't like it. It was an impulsive shock if anything. As for a package design that symbolises raw and unpolished INXS material, thats fine, but everyone has the right not to like something. I saw a CD in the store the other day that had a picture of a child's drawing on the cover. My first perception of this was that I'd never buy the CD, but upon rethinking my decision maybe this CD may contain some great music.

Date: Sun, 07 Sep 97 18:49:00 EST Encoding: 131 TEXT Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Sorry this is a long one! As for production on FMDH I tend to agree. X does sound very polished, thats Chris Thomas for you, but at the same time I think it was too polite. I remember hearing Elton Johns album ( was it "One") around the same time. Chris Thomas produced that and I'm damned if it didn't have a similar sound. The production was identical, very polite. I think they had some trouble with Chris. From what I heard Andrew had to fight him over they way they made Suicide Blonde because Chris didn't think it would work (which it did). I guess they wanted more freedom so they started to produce the music more themselves. This opened up some great new sounds for INXS which I don't think they would have found otherwise. Having said that IMO I think they need a producer like Chris to say hey this is great but it just isn't working. His last song Strangest Party is one of my favorites but it is very trademark INXS. I guess you have a tradeoff. New and different musical direction. Some of which hits the mark and some doesn't. Or a producer who keeps them on a seemingly restricted path. I think they should get a few different producers and see which ones work. IMO I think they used Bruce Fairburn (Sorry about spelling) because he was unobtrusive to their recording. This is fine when they are recording more traditional INXS songs. Thats why Girl on Fire, EW work so well. I can't help but listen to some of their more alternate music and think WOW this song has so much potential but somehow gets lost along they way. When playing music which stretches them musically ( which I'm sure they try to do) aren't they similar in some ways to a new band. A new sound requires a little bit of guidance and certain different producers would defiantly suit those songs. For example I don't think I'm only looking would have been the song it was without Brian eno's mixing pity he didn't produce that song. That song had Eno written all over it but he would be the right person for the whole album. Sorry the post is so long but to sum up * I think INXS is now so varied that they can't have one producer per album. Different types of songs require different producers. * This is just my opinion and I'm not trying to say I'm right when I have virtually no background in the industry. * I know the band knows exactly what their doing and I'm not trying to put them down.

Anyway, on to FMDH. I personally like only a couple of songs off of the album (Time, Messenger, Days or Rust, The Gift) Perhaps that's because of the traditional guitar sounds. While like any INXS album, I can listen to the whole thing. Unlike other INXS albums, I have no problem hitting the skip button on the CD player for certain songs. I would have to say that INXS certainly were in some sort of funky stage when they made FMDH. I've heard that it was to be part of a double album with WTWYA. I often wonder if they didn't just record a bunch of songs and put them all on tape rather than taking only the best and making one CD. I realize that I'm going to get slammed for saying this, but I often feel that they could have taken the best songs off of FMDH, WTWYA, and EW and made one awesome double CD. Songs like Viking Juice and Questions while interesting and artistic belong on the flip side of a 45, not the header for an album. I'm no producer, but I know what I like to listen to. I consider myself one of the all time INXS fans and after 7 concerts it should be obvious I like what I hear. I personally feel that they haven't come close to the sound quality of X with the last 3 albums. True there are great songs off of the 3 recent albums, but none has the awesome 5 song line up that X has to start the CD! I used to tell my friends that if I died I wanted a copy of UTC buried with me because it was my least favorite album. Well, perhaps today I'd ask for a copy of LBL, but it wouldn't hurt if they threw a copy of the lower quality songs off of WTWYA, FMDH, and EW on there. I look for the day when INXS will go back to putting the experimental stuff on the b-sides and putting only the best stuff on the albums. Just look at The Swing, LLT, Kick, and X. (yes there are weak songs on those too, but only one song per album at most.) To each his or her own I suppose. But I have to imagine somebody out there feels the same way about combining the best off the last 3 albums into one album. Lastly remember, I could listen to every INXS song in a row and not be bored, I just think you need to call a rose "a rose." -Nick Date: Sun, 7 Sep 1997 12:41:27 -0400 () From: k with a kris To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] My thought on NJ show X-X-Sender: ktsafos@frontier.wilpaterson.edu Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu After what Lynda wrote, i thought i would only have a few things to touch on, but found I have A LOT more to say...so sit back and enjoy the story...

He smiled, winked at me and mouthed "thanx"... -Another Michael moment...During What you need, he took off his shoes and socks (hense where Lynda got the sock)...The next song, he put his foot on the monitor in fromt of me...i proceeded to play (this little piggy...) he then lifted his foot...i had no other choice but to tickel the bottom of his foot...he kinda jerked it away (obviously ticklish), and pulling away from the mic laughing, not able to finish that line of the song) :) -During Taste it, Michael was leaning at the front row crouched down...no one was doing anything, so i grabbed his hand and he held it for a minute, then held someone else's had (to be fair-ya know!) -There was also no Kiss the dirt - WAH! it was great hearing that live!!! -During the last song-Suicide Blonde, the had these girls come up and dance (my thoughts were thjat they won a contest to do this from a local radio station)...what made me mad is that NONE of them knew ANY of the words....AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! (breathe...ok, i am better now)! -I think Tim loves Neil more than Neil loves INXS...He said about 3 things to just Neil while on stage the best was "YOUR THE MAN NEIL!!!" I swared, i was waiting for Tim to grab him and kiss him!!! -I LOVE JON WHEN HE DANCES DURING DLYH!!!!

It's very very easy, and a lot better than having to go to CD stores IMO. I haven't bought a CD in a store in ages now, and do almost all my CD shopping exclusively on the net. The best CD store is Music Blvd, which has low prices and free shipping on their catalog.

The venue was really great, with only a few hundred people in attendance. The show only sold-out the day of the show, due to the fact that there was ZERO publicity for the show (Mercury and INXS' management once again flub things.) The band started out a little flat (I thought), but they were soon rocking away and enjoying themselves thoroughly. I should also mention that the opening act was Diesel, who were definitely Aussie from their accents, but were introduced as being from NYC. It was a 2 person band -- lead singer was a guy playing guitar, and there was also a woman on cello. k with a kris wrote: > -Neil (the studious one) was studying in the parking lot!!!

Overall, great show except for the setlist, which was really unadventurous. INXS, we really don't need to hear you guys still playing every song from Kick and X. You do have either albums, you know? The only pre-Kick material they played was Don't Change and What You Need... They really ought to delve into their catalogue and play some forgotten gems.

You can open chat rooms on this thing and so far, I haven't had any problems with their server. The only problem with it is that they don't have one for MAC yet. But they cover Win95, Win NT, Win 3.x and AOL (and more). They're working on MAC. There are other programs like this, but they don't cover win 3.x. It just isn't a perfect world. As it is, many people's browsers can't even handle java. The good part about this is that you always know who's online with you so if you're in Austalia, you'll know if so and so in New York is making a late night of it. Neil can link the chat room through his page. Also, you'll know if the chat room is active or not the second you sign on. And the program is free.

Before the Chicago show I asked both Michael and Tim if they ever play Johnson's Aeroplane anymore (one of my all-time favorites), and got pretty ambiguous answers from both. Michael: "well, you know, so many songs, and it's been over 10 years since we've played that one." Tim gave pretty much the same response, adding that they would need time to practice it again. So, guess that would mean that they're not going to play it (who knows if they even like it since The Swing seems to be one of their least favorite albums) -- at least not this time around! Now, if only they'd put The Stairs back in the set list! (surely they still remember that one!)

Anyway, I'm Just a Man. When I first bought the C.D of ELegantly Wasted, the first time I heard this song, I immediately thought it was going to be a single, or at least, should be. This song to me seems simple, but so moving. Hutch's voice is nothing less than magnificent, and mixed with the perfectly weighted amount of instrumentation (not to heavy, not to light) ensures that this will become an INXS classic, whether or not it becomes a single. It's obviously one of my favourites.

Someone told me that the 2nd and 3rd verses really do relate to Michael's brother and sister. His brother was married on the beach and he has a sister called Tracey (Sweet Sister T). My favourite, favourite, favourite line in this song is "There's nothing said that cannot be undone." Which is so true. No matter what you've said to someone or however you've hurt them.

I usually don't like really self referential lyrics, but I thought that Michael really did a good job with these. I don't know why Everything was picked over this as a single, I think that IJAM is much better musically and lyrically. A better follow up to EW radiowise, I think.

BTW, when you are at the shows, you want to be near Michael after he sings this song. When I was in SF for the 2nd show he got really pumped up after singing this song. Next thing I knew, he was letting me and my friend sing "Heaven Sent" with him. I'd have to say I owe a lot to the inspiration that "I'm Just A Man" can provide. -Nick Sue wrote: > In responding to the INXS Song of Week you can give your opinions on the > lyrics and music of the song, its strong or weak points, and/or any > special meaning the song has had at one time, or still holds for you. > > INXS SONG OF THE WEEK #53 - I'm Just A Man From: "Scott Brooks" To: Subject: Re: [INXS] Over 130 items for sale Date: Mon, 8 Sep 1997 13:33:48 +0930 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Dear List, Unfortunately I am being forced to sell my INXS collection.

I have noticed a lot of INXS music as backround and intros on MTV and I keep hoping that they will play the videos. I call when I get a chance to request EW and DLYH but haven't seen more play. At this time I spend more time tuning in to VH1 to avoid the predominance of rap and hip/hop which doesn't appeal to me and seems to be on at the times that I can tune in. I really like the EW video and love the song and think that it deserves a lot more play. Shivaun Date: Tue, 09 Sep 1997 03:51:54 +1000 From: Justin Rice To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] FMDH AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I just want to express my views about certain topics listed by a number of people and present a fewa my own. Sorry it's a little long (What am I an addict? Man...way too much time), but I won't write much for quite a while. I'd appreciate any comments from anybody. INXS FLAGGING RECORD SALES To me the last two INXS albums have come closer to the INXS strength. Just plain and simple hard funk rock, dirty and raw. But nobodies interested anymore (masses wise). People want to hear disco (night club) oriented dance music or grunge type music where a guy poors his anguish out using one guitar, heaps of distort and shouts about how he'll kill himself (and everybody's surprised when he does...?!). I find that I tend to like some of this music, but when i think in terms of 'relative to INXS' it just doesn't cut it. I think most of the reason FMDH and to a lesser extent Welcome to Wherever You Are didn't set the charts on fire stems from their older brother 'X'. I once heard a radio announcer quoting INXS as saying that 'Welcome to Wherever You Are was there best album while 'X' was there worst' (1994). If they truly said this it would make sense in this fashion - After 'Kick' did exactly that in 1987,88 the expectations of a lot of people about the next INXS album were extremely high (way up there!). 'X' literally had a complex, it had an older brother that had moved the earth and then some. 'Kick' had already generated sales for 'X' of US platinum before 'X' had even left the showroom, It had a lot to live up to. And behold the great album that finally came out, Suicide Blonde, Disappear etc. but did it do anything more than 'Kick' for the more wary buyer. I think not, 'X' was conservative, consistent, commercial, efficient, it had it's own style and definition and it garnished respect from many quarters but (BUT!), it wasn't the 'anticipated' sequel to 'Kick' that's for sure. To my knowledge US sales of 'X' after release didn't improve it's platinum status, so in the US those 4 million other people who bought 'Kick' gave 'X' the flick (not a chance). Disappointing that many people is a hard bridge to cross. Just think, in '89 you have all these people with 'great expectations', two years later these same people suddenly have no expectations and they've probably forgotten your name cause there giving the latest upstarts a chance to earn their next record buying dollar, and...., while there at it, they've forgotten the words to that cool song 'Devil Inside' and they're singing Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello (snip). To me, ironically 'Disappear' is where the sales all started to go downhill...with a jet ski. This is where the INXS fan started to be defined, here is INXS doing some damn fine work, but it is a pop song, if your committed you love it (you're a fan), if you don't you kiss it good bye amicably (you're an unfan).... I myself love it, but the rest of the world seems to disappear. INXS had delivered an album they could sell, but not one that was going to sell their next album, indeed it was going to decrease the sales of their next album, and the next and the next. Add to that a live album that was always going to fail to catch the true essence of a live INXS performance (I don't think you can tape it). A live album with sound quality so good that it misewell be a studio produced Greatest Hits album??!! And suddenly that "Shining star is gone". ........Hey! Adleast they hadn't released an 'unplugged' album. Also, INXS's own idea of not playing large stadiums anymore, Why???!!! (Who am I to ask, but hey I worship my idols but I am not a slave) That's the best format by far for their music, Kick sold 9million + albums and most of that was on the back of a very large STADIUM ENCOMPASSING tour. Playing to a few pubs here in there will sell you a few thousand copies, if you're lucky and...maybe. How can the vast majority of the people who bought Kick possibly get to see that band they loved back in 1988. For a lot of people that can be a prerequisite for buying their latest album. It's all very fine to see all these great live reviews of all these concerts, but that don't mean squat to the guy up the road who didn't see the show and nor will he. He can get drunk, and shout compliments at the Juke Box without spending $30. FULL MOON DIRTY HEARTS I'd have to rate this as my third favourite album. But it ain't far behind Welcome and Elegantly Wasted. Until EW was released my favourite songs were Days of Rust and Time. Followed closely by Taste It, Need You Tonight etc. It came as a shock to me to learn that the album sold way less than 6 zeroes in the US or anywhere else for that matter. MY LIKES ABOUT FMDH Days of Rust my absolute favourite song up until EW, this is one of those songs that just keeps punching relentlessly, it doesn't stop hitting until way after the last bar finishes. With that jet-rocket, jawbreaker start, this is INXS at their borderline-heavy metal, energetic best. I read somewhere on the list that someone found the lyrics less than satisfactory, I think the opposite, I think this is one of Michael's best efforts... Although the language is derogatory, it is thouroughly appropriate for the mode of music and the message that he is trying to convey. He establishes a metaphor representing the relationship between INXS (himself) and the media and for convenience he puts it in sexual terms - 'Dirty money washed rich, suck me honey it's a cinch'. This metaphor remains consistent throughout the whole song. He describes further the sordid relationship that exists between INXS and the media, where both sides are in it for the good of the one rather than the both, a relationship born out of mutually exclusive self interests. Sleazy if you like. - 'Use your delusions to get ahead, I'm not faking a single breath'. Then in the chorus we get the chant 'Say these days are made of rust, counted out, counted out and lost well I got plans to prove them (you) wrong. The media wants out of the relationship they've found another #### and they're real pleased telling everybody about how INXS was just a passing fad for them, a one night stand as it were. But INXS aren't finished yet, no siry. Now we return to that first sexual metaphor and the sarcastic lines.- 'Got manners like a comedy, Don't you push to hard baby it's a thin veneer yeah". The last phrase being literally quite lucid and on the verge of 'x-rated', if not for the subtlety. Then bang another chorus followed by that long tense solo. Finally we hit the third and fourth verses with INXS in an up-tempo mood. Where he mentions the new (recording) deal. The media wishes INXS would go away but Michael and INXS have a different idea in mind. Hail the conviction of it! The Gift, this song live is fantastic and on a decent hifi system it can really blow you away. Industrial? If that's what industry sounds like I'll have a piece of that every day. Make your Peace, a cool song where Michaels really trying something different with his voice which he's basically been trying to do ever since Kick. What a bass line! Time, Michael yet again getting stuck into the media and the energy in this song just doesn't stop with two awesome crescendos built around a great guitar solo. With that cool voice over on Michael's voice it still retains a live feeling. I'm Only Looking, funk with a twist, this is the 'cleanest' song on the album and it just breathes ever so serenely. Please You Got That, this is just a feast of INXS's traditional talent and with Ray Charles thrown in it rocks. Andrew described the lyrics as 'killer' and he's right, Michael really launches himself with this track. Full Moon, dirty guitar, sensual key board. And her voice against/with Michael's! The first time I heard this I was entranced, almost hypnotised by the surrender in the song. Freedom, talk about a build up those, strange textures and keyboard come ins, with short but beautiful lyrics. The harmony-perfect overdubs in the chorus and the power of the drum patterns. Kill the Pain, not many INXS songs can claim to bring a tear to the eye, the video to this song certainly did to me, boy was I shocked, i didn't think an INXS song could ever sound like this. Cut your Roses Down, I'm amazed by this song, such a simple delivery of funk/bass/voice projection, oh oh oh oh and that haunting chorus ooh ohoh! I don't understand why they didn't put the full version on the album. The Messenger, this song is weird, it's like a square dance stomp about, great fun with a simple melody that sounds like it's out of the big band era. Big dumb noise for one and all. Viking Juice, with this song on the album you have to wonder if this album shouldn't be considered INXS's most adventurous album to date. Poetry to a simple rock rif, I love when that keyboard comes in on the final verse (?). I'm not sure what Michael is saying lyrically here but one cannot deny his 'finishing line' on the album - 'It's called the end of rock n' roll'. MY GRIPES ABOUT FMDH If I have one criticism of Full Moon it's that it tends to drop further in my rankings if for some particular reason I happen to be listening to it on a cheaper stereo/video (afterall it is very raw). Why anyone would bother copying out the lyrics on the album jacket in the method used on this album is beyond me. I'd have more chance of understanding Michael singing through a gas mask then I would have reading these lyrics, it's a joke. But I don't think that's enough for anybody not to buy the album. Also in the video presentation of FMDH they presented something which came across as too commercial. They deliberately put external noise shallowly over some of the videos, highlighting again that they're very interested in selling records as opposed to pleasing a listening audience (the two are not mutually exclusive!!). The great title track sounds appalling when you've got two actors talking over the top of it. I believe the album would have sold much more if you don't put gggaarbage record company ideas like that in what was supposed to be the main promotional tool for FMDH. 'COMMUNICATION' This is a fantastic song and it surprises me that it wasn't a single, but with so many good songs on 'Welcome..' that's probably fair. When I first heard this song I was thinking it was sort of 'Pink Floydish', just heaps more energy. The song has lots of atmosphere with a tension that it retains throughout till the massive crescendo finish. And that backing tape voice!! 'Self appointed critic's of the establishment'. 'And on the left bank' ........ fantastically mixed with the rest of the instruments. This song just floats around the stereo, just like a satellite only colourful (colorful for you Yanks). Arguably (I know some of you will) INXS's best song from a production point of view. The best thing about this song is right after you've heard this brilliant piece of art, you hear an even better song that jumps right outta the speakers and communicates in similar fashion. And check out the "live" recording from Santa Monica on the back of the 'Time' EP, what energy!! NON INXS - I'll MAKE YOU HAPPY That song 'I'll Make you Happy' was covered rather well, I just looove the Divinyls (studio) version as well. I think just about anybody could make this song sound halfway good, it's a 'song writer's gem'. JENNY MORRIS Who else out there thinks Jenny Morris sounds great, I often wonder how song's like You're Gonna Get Hurt would sound if they were true INXS songs (Michael on vocals and the rest of the group). They just seem like such good songs to me I'd wonder why Andrew wouldn't want INXS to use them. Of course, maybe he wrote them knowing in advance that they'd be for Jenny?

If it wasn't for me gushing about the latest album and how great the show was, most of the people I know wouldn't even know INXS were touring, let alone in support of a new album.

It's become my favorite off EW in the last few weeks, and it's interesting to read the various comments made about it. I absolutely love this song. The lyrics (obviously) have a great deal of meaning for MH, and it really shows when he does it live. To me, it's one of those songs that hits you right away, and then mesmerizes you until the song is over. I listen to this over and over and never get tired of it! Glenn wrote that his favorite lines are "there's nothing said/ that cannot be undone." I have to agree here. It's true, and in the context of what the song is about, it seems to me a really important thing to remember. I also like this song for the position Michael has put himself in by putting it out there for all the world to hear. Clearly, the break-up of his family was a defining moment in his life (as it would be for anyone). And yet, he's allowed us to glimpse his thoughts on it. By calling it "I'm Just a Man" I think he's essentially reminding us all of his own normalcy and humanity. Even though we all see him as MH, the frontman for INXS, he's telling us he's more than that- he's a human being with a real life, real family, and real problems. In short, he exposes his own vulnerability while tearing own the celebrity-driven image of him that we all have. Further, and I may be going out on a limb here, since the song was written months ago, but it seems like a really timely song in light of Princess Diana's death. The general public always saw her as a princess,fashion plate, celebrity benefactor, etc., when, after seeing that funeral and the reaction of the Princes and her brother, we are reminded that she was, above all, a mother, sister, friend. Thank God Michael is able, with this song, to remind us of his own personal, private side while he's still alive.

The title-track single, already a video hit, sets the tone: straight-ahead rock with plenty of bent little moments. A solid effort, with nary a speck of filler.

When you see Michael sing it, you can tell that it bothers him somewhat if not alot.

It must have been hard on Michael to move from Sydney to Hollywood and then back to Sydney in a short period of time.

They haven't played it for a long time - November 1988 in Australia to be exact. You can't really expect them to walk out on stage, see a sign with 'Johnson's Aeroplane' and just get into it after all this time. They need time to practise it, plus they need certain equipment for certain songs (Andrew's keyboard would probably be programmed for this one). You could have more luck if you requested a certain song to be played in say 2 weeks time, and gave them warning to prepare for it, they might agree to that if your lucky. I would love to see songs such as 'Johnson's Aeroplane' returned to the setlist. I agree with Neil too many Kick songs for 1997, they must be getting tired of playing a couple of them by now after 10 years. The majority of the setlist should be from the current album, but there is no need for half (sometimes more) of the Kick album, they are not there for a Greatest Hits Tour. I'd actually prefer it if they played ALL the new songs, since this tour is to promote Elegantly Wasted, they are not promoting Kick anymore. I'm not saying no songs from Kick should be played, they should keep about 3 but they don't need 6 or 7 which is often the case. I know it would be hard to decide which Kick songs should be dropped, but it must be done to make the setlist more adventurous. I guess the band thinks since Kick sold 9 million plus, this is what the people want to hear, but is this what the fans want to hear on the 1997 'Elegantly Wasted' Tour? Do you people think too many Kick songs are played at the expense of all the other albums? Is it fair FMDH gets only one song at the moment, Welcome only two? Like I said it shouldn't be a Greatest Hits tour. Matthew.

'Disappear' was fine as a single, it was their 6th U.S. Top 10 hit in a row, and it did alright in the rest of the world, from memory got to about no.16 in OZ and it's did well in Europe. It won an award for the Australian song played most overseas in 1991. So the first 2 singles from X were great, then the point where I've always believed they made a mistake was releasing 'Bitter Tears' instead of 'The Stairs'. Most people say INXS sales dropped in Australia due to 'Live Baby Live' or 'The Concert for Life' but I think it was before that. I love 'Bitter Tears', but all the dj's and media were saying they couldn't wait for 'The Stairs' to be released. Richard Wilkins was there sitting on his couch on MTV saying "some sensational songs still to come including 'the Stairs', which is probably my favourite". So everyone was expecting 'The Stairs' to be a single. It could be argued the song was too long for a single, but they could have released an edited version. By not releasing the song they might have been trying to get people to buy more of the X album As for X, everyone seems to always put it down the bottom of their INXS albums, but it's my 3rd favourite, with 'The Swing' my favourite (another album which people tend to put near the bottom). Welcome.. is right down on my all-time list, it's great how they have experimented and changed direction, I know they wanted to record an album which was a studio album that they didn't tour, but what's the point of the world's best live band recording an album which half the songs have never being played live, or once in the case of 'Baby Don't Cry'? That's another reason sales have dropped for FMDH & EW is because they didn't tour with Welcome... They were huge in Europe at the time selling out Wembley the year before, Welcome.. debuts at no.1 in the UK, it could have been a really big seller especially in Europe, but apart from a couple of weeks press in Europe, performing 'Taste It' on a couple of shows you heard nothing because of no tour, so a lot of those fans at Wembley were lost, having to wait for 2 years to see them live again in July '93. >Also, INXS's own idea of not playing large stadiums anymore, Why???!!! >(Who am I to ask, but hey I worship my idols but I am not a slave) >That's the best format by far for their music, Kick sold 9million + >albums and most of that was on the back of a very large STADIUM >ENCOMPASSING tour. I use to be of the same opinion as you. They fit more people in stadiums, and when people go along to a concert they will normally have brought the album before they go so they know the songs, or they will come out after seeing a great live performance and will rush out and buy the album and/or maybe the whole back catalogue of INXS albums! So the more people, the more albums will be sold basically. I thought they did their small shows and got them out of their system with the 'Get out of the house' tour, but then they went and did the 'Dirty Honeymoon' tour in small venues as well. I personally perfer the smaller shows too, but looking at the bigger picture to sell large amounts of albums they need to play stadiums. Now with such a long break between albums, they need to play the smaller venues and build up their audience again, they are in a position like they were in 1985. >would bother copying out the lyrics on the album jacket in the method >used on this album is beyond me. I'd have more chance of understanding >Michael singing through a gas mask then I would have reading these >lyrics, it's a joke. Well unless you have the Japanese version of the current album or the CD-Rom, you don't even get the lyrics on 'Elegantly Wasted'! So FMDH, is not as bad as EW. 'The Swing' only had lyrics on the Japanese version too, so that never had lyrics. If you think the writing looks messy on FMDH, what do you think of Welcome's sticky tape style lyrics? >title track sounds appalling when you've got two actors talking over the >top of it.

No one would buy the album 2 days later if they hadn't included talking, people would have just recorded the t.v. special and said "right I have the new INXS album plus I even have all the videos and interviews, what's the point of paying $30 to buy the CD". They should have released the FMDH videos as a video to buy though, a couple of months after the album was released. Matthew.

Actually, a few people at the show were talking about how somewhere in the states on the last tour in 1993, some blond bimbo that was all over Michael requested it -- and the band proceeded to play it for her...

I went to three California shows this year. The set was the same for all three. Needless to say, I loved all three, but some variety would have been awesome. This would seem to especially be true with two shows, two nights in a row in SF....you'd think the band would like some variety too. -Nick Neil Kothari wrote: > Actually, a few people at the show were talking about how somewhere > in the states on the last tour in 1993, some blond bimbo that was > all over Michael requested it -- and the band proceeded to play it > for her... > > As for them not "getting into it after all this time," perhaps you've > found part of the problem?

Almost everything has been said inculding descriptions of their clothes. But I noticed that no one commented on that other all important aspect of any show - THEIR HAIR! So especially for Neil and Matt and Josh who couldn't live without knowing - GREAT HAIR ALL AROUND. Micheal's is shorter and curly, Jon's is dark and spiky. Kirk and Garry and Andrew the same and Tims looks really good -sort of short and curly. Having provided that info just let me say how much fun it is to be at concerts with other listers. I was persuaded to get right up front (a place I haven't gone since getting totally squashed at the Philadelphia Armory show on the Welcome tour) and it was wonderful. Got a perfect view of the hole Michael had ripped in his pants (under the knee)and could watch Garry and Shelly not touch each other. The music was awsome and the energy too - although I thought it started a little slowly. I wish they could play Johnson's Aeroplane - or at least one real oldy. But I am satisfied with "Don't Change" and just seeing them. Wthout question the GREATEST LIVE Band ever. I am lucky enough to be going to DC, NY and Philly. See you there.

I must say that with the deaths of Princess Diana and Mother Teresa it was a very depressing week. The INXS show was a much needed "pick me up." A few comments - 1)Did Michael spend about 1/4 of the time in the audience at the other shows? The concert was in an ampitheater where people can bring picnic baskets, food, drinks, whatever. Michael was in the audience for a long time. He did a shot of some drink and I think he even ate someone's food! He was out there so long at one point that one of the guys said "Where's Mike?" It was cool, though. 2)When did Jon change his hair back to its natural color? It looks much better!! 3)Was the show only 1 1/2 hours long at other places? I have seen them 6 times now and usually the shows are 2 hours. That was the only disappointment. Last thing - at the end, during "Suicide Blonde" the band let people from the audience come up and dance. There were about 100 people up there! They were crowding around Michael, Tim, Kirk - there was even a girl dancing up by the drumset. The guy next to me laughed and said "Not many bands would let their fans do that."

Once again (sorry more excuses Neil) it's a bit hard for INXS to just say pick a song, for a start a lot of the songs need to be programmed into Andrew's keyboard, all the right equipment needs to be set up for certain songs, often the lights are programmed for certain songs - not as much as they use to be, but the crew need to know what's going on too. I wouldn't think many established bands would just say pick a song, no offense to the Goo Goo Dolls. But I'm sure if enough of us requested a certain song 'ahead of time' they would add it to the set list for a few shows at least. They added 'Kiss the Dirt' this year, because Tim read our poll last year when it was voted no.1. But all I'm saying it's hard for INXS to play your requests if you only do it on the night, as you see often Michael can't even remember the words to 'Mediate', a song he's been singing for 10 years, so imagine him trying to remember 'Learn to Smile' on the spur of the moment for example. I understand you point about it's a *job* and he should remember the lyrics to songs, but your been a bit hard on him, if you were told to give an impromptu speech on something you had learnt say 15 years ago, would you be able to do it in front of thousands of people? But you also must remember us 'die-hard fans on the list' are not the only INXS fans out there, because some of us have liked the band for years and years, we want change & variation, but there are other fans who haven't been into INXS for very long might be disappointed if they didn't get "the hits" played as they are, so there needs to be a balance still. I would love to see a special concert where there was a rule "no songs that have been singles allowed", and they could do one of these shows on each continent eg. Sydney, London, New York... That would be fun, maybe they could do it as warm-up dates for the next album's tour perhaps? I think the band would enjoy doing a concert like this too. On a similar note, I notice the old songs re-recorded in Capri, Tim said would be released soon are not on the 'Searching' cd's. Do we really need 8 versions of 'Searching' and no non-album tracks. Here is a quote from Kirk "the key to longevity is the creative freedom that has existed from the first INXS single which, like all those that have followed, featured a non-album track contributed by a band member". (This is from the 24 page Billboard INXS 10th Birthday Special book in 1990. BTW That was *good* promotion for X, 24 pages in Billboard Magazine, why not a 20 year special this year to promote E.W.? ) This tradition of non-album songs, pretty much continued up until FMDH where since the remixes have taken over. There is even more Searching mixes on UK promo releases, I know there is 4 Lead Station mixes, and the cd's only have 3 and plus there is another remix I think I've seen not on the cd's, so there is around 10 versions of 'Searching'.

I agree with you Matthew, about not being able to pull the lyrics to "Learn to Smile" out of one's head on the spur of the moment, but this thing about "Mediate" is really getting out of hand! I thought we'd pretty much established that Michael DOES, in fact, know all the words. As I recall from various posts about concerts, on the few occasions where a "cheat sheet" was seen, it turned out to be blank and he ripped it up as he sang, while on other occasions, such as the show I saw, there was neither a cheat sheet, nor were there any errors during the song.

How can we expect INXS to spontaneously launch into "Johnson's Aeroplane" or any other old favorite if Michael can't even remember the words to a song he's performed several hundred times?

I'm wondering if she's doing any favors for any other bands? I'll bet she's got some teenie bop, Hanson type of band that she just babies. That's the problem with people, always thinking short term and not long term. INXS will be around for another 20 years. Where will most popular bands today be in 20? Also, Martha may be the direct manager for INXS, but she does report to Paul. It's nice that Paul can whine and complain that it's not his fault, but it really is. Where I work there is a chain of command. As a huge corporation it is necessary. My manager may not directly work on my projects, but if I blow it, it is her responsibility to correct me or discipline me. I personally think Paul sounds like a weasel who's full of s**t. It is his responsibility to promote INXS or find somone who will. -Nick Comments: ( Received on motgate.mot.com from client pobox.mot.com, sender Diab-ABD015_Basil@macmail1.cig.mot.com ) Date: 10 Sep 1997 13:54:29 U From: "Diab-ABD015 Basil" Subject: RE: [INXS] Re: INXS - North America To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu >So the real question is...

I'm sure part of the blame does go to Martha Troup. You know it's sad when even the INXS List members have never heard of her. However, INXS has done appearances on some of the biggest talk shows (Leno, Letterman, Rosie, Tom Snyder). There are plenty of copies of the CD in every major record store chain. Practically every newspaper/magazine has done some sort of positive article/review about the band, the album or their performances. And now they are on the tail-end of a coast-to-coast tour. I don't know how much more Martha or anyone could have done. INXS is not the only talented big-name band to see disappointing record sales in recent years. Sometimes the music industry shifts in your favor, and sometimes it doesn't. Look at all of the time and money wasted on promoting U2 on MTV and the radio. They got major press for their "PopMart" tour (yes, let's launch a worldwide tour on an album that hasn't even been released) They even bought commercials for the album on TV for God's sake!!! And for what? Canceled shows due to overexpectation of ticket sales (scalpers were dumping tickets below face value) and an ultra-mediocre album that they practically tried to shove in our faces. I believe "POP" has sold about half of what "X" sold. What does that tell you? (Don't get mad at me, I love U2...)

It's true that Disappear did chart reasonably in a lot of places (except Australia - few weeks in the chart), It's misgivings (sales) were indeed minor compared to Bitter Tears which didn't do squat, or By My Side incredibly enough. X was a backward step in the INXS juggernaut in America but it seemed to gain ground in the previously barren Europe. I mentioned that Kick had generated sales for X of adleast 1 million US. Well on the other hand sales of Kick also increased in Australia and Europe as a result of the X album. But all in all X fell way short of Kick's mark, excuse the pun. Did you see in 1988/9 ? the Swing reentered the Oz charts when Kick was at 3/70 weeks in on the Australian Charts. With the Full Moon video I think they could have been a little more subtle in there methods of 'protection' on the videos. People get tired of not being 'trusted' by people far richer than themselves. In Australia with minimum effort you could tape most of the INXS albums anyway,...off the radio without protection in recent years as radio stations consistently play the albums in full (most) with those tiny little ads. Just the other day triple MMM had a classic album hour where they played KICK in it's entirety. I had heard all of the X album and Full Moon days before I went to the store and bought them on the dayz of release. Thanx Karen, you're quite right INXS would probably not fill them anymore. It all seemed to stop (stadium events) after the 'Concert for Life' in Sydney. But I look forward to the day when it's not just the Dallas Cowboys selling out Texas Stadium but INXS under the strength of their funkiest and heaviest album to date. Don't ask me what that album will be called but rest assured, it'll make the Kick album look like a walk in the park. If I recall INXS headlined the 60, 000 seat Texas stadium (among others) back in the Calling All Nations World Tour. Can any of our American 'allies' confirm this. Positively PRO XS. Your welcome Neil K, just doing my obligated and enjoyable duty as a devoted fan of XS. This little article appeared in Queensland's Sunday Mail last weekend, I have transcribed it below for anybody interested it appears the info may be somewhat old. U-turn on 'us-ness' After 16 years together, Aussie rockers INXS are punting on paydirt for their tenth album. Band frontman Michael Hutchence sees nothing unusual about six Aussies sticking together. "There's a sense of us-ness and we-ness in Australia. People are spontaneous and egalitarian." Easy to see Mike hasn't lived here lately. He hasn't caught up with Howard and Hanson! (Stop). For all you non Ozzies, John Howard is the Australian Priminister and Pauline Hanson is another semi-popular political figure labelled (rightly or wrongly) as racist and Anti-Asian by many sections of the media. Neil Doko, Gudday (lol) Shine's not a bad track seems like there's only one chord in the whole song though, it's very funky (the rhythm is the good old (chop....chop.....etc we all know and love), discoteqish with a constant bass/beat like something out of the seventies. Michaels vocals very "way out there". His voice is basically live for the verses but when it gets to the chorus, the music just slows down and Michael just repeats (whispers) infrequently the word Shine (..so bright) with heaps of overdubbed reverbs and electronic fx. Why don't you sell you're 'inferiour'(lol) American version and import the Oz one if it's cheap enough. It's the same thing except you get the extra track thrown in on the end, so if you don't happen to like it just press eject at the end of 'Bridges'. Mercury 534 613-2. I saw some US stores on the net, selling the Oz version for the same as the US version (US$). I no that's probably not helpful but...maybe. They might just put Shine on one of the b sides of the singles/promos releases later, that's if they plan anymore singles/promos. 'Let it Ride' is on the b-side of 'Everything'. Have you heard 'Let it Ride' the bonus track on the Japanese version, now that is cool. Ride, ride..riide Cheers one and All Ah Ah Ah... I'm gonna get so wasted. (I reckon those were the original lyrics lol) Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 14:37:25 -0700 From: Nick Doko To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Best Set List Poll Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Well, I think I will have to put in my two cents worth. A little explanation first. Yes I tried to pull something off of each album that not only would excite the die hard fans like us, but also keep the people who only knew Kick and X awake as well. I tried to lean towards the modern stuff while keeping in mind there's a great catalogue of old stuff too. Secondly, I did something that will show the influence of a friend of mine who listens to Metallica. I added 3 encores and a medley. Let's face it, we're all sick of kick (hey that rhymes). Anyway, why not play the stuff that the lesser fans know in one jamming medley. Metallica does it with their stuff and from what I hear, they do a great job with it. It allows more songs to be played. As far as the extra encores go, it gives the band a chance to get a second or third wind and for the audience to feel like all that stomping really does get you somewhere. Anyway the set list below definitely has some jamming moods and some slower moods. Hope you enjoy. INXS Ultimate Set List 1. Elegantly Wasted (Elegantly Wasted) 2.

I think this is a great idea! I know that U2 are very involved with their merchandising, promos.etc. For example, since the beginning, Larry (the drummer) has overseen shirts from the design phase to the ordering, to guarantee that the quality is acceptable, comfortable, and attractive. I think it would be wonderful for INXS to take a role similar to this. Sue (sue@mdc.net) said: >I get the impression that the management (_not_ the band) think of the fans >as nothing but a nuisance.

I thought I read a post on the list a few weeks ago when someone thought Shine was on a US single, but I can't be sure. Shine is not a slow song like WATT or E or JAM or S. It's probably a tad repetitive, but you should definately try to find it in the US. Also - if you don't have a copy of Let it Ride either, you should try to pick it up aswell.

I am talking about music journalists, particularly (but not limited to) Australian journalists. They are so hypocritical and inconsistent. When X was released, Australian Rolling Stone said that it was "their best and most cohesive album" and gave it four stars. Two years later saw the release of Welcome, and now they were saying that X "smacked of a follow up to their ground breaking Kick...consequently the record sounded stiff". They then say that Welcome was "the best thing they have done since Kick, making it their second best so far" yet gave it only 3 and a half stars. A year later and FMDH was unleashed, and Rolling Stone (America) gave it a reasonable write up and three stars (I have never seen an Australian review of FMDH). We move forward now to EW, and suddenly the band are "trying to make up for the artistic errors of the last two albums". Excuse me? Just because they sold less than Kick, doesn't mean they aren't great albums. I think that both of these are the equal of Kick, in fact Welcome is easily my favourite, but that is the Australian press for you. In this country I did not read one good review of EW. Those of you who live outside Australia have no idea what we have to put up with. To make it big (with the press) you either have to be un "undiscovered" new talent or big in America. If your from the states and you have sold a few copies of whatever garbage you are trying to flog off to the public, then come to Australia, the press will lap it up. In the case of INXS, they actually look for bad things to write about them. For example, of all the excellent reviews I read of their South African tour, one Sydney paper (can't remember which one) ignored all these, published none of them and instead slammed INXS by showing the only bad one I have heard of! Although I did notice with some joy that Rolling Stone didn't ahve much good to say for the new Oasis album. Anyway, now I've said that, I just have to say this. I cannot believe that some of you dislike even HATE Men and Women!! I love that song, and it is one of my favourites off Welcome. The lrics are so truthful. If you ever have had a shit of a day, then listen to MAW, you will relate to it much better. "Do you lead or are you led Are you sure that you don't care?"

I agree with you about the cheat sheet being blank, it's not even a cheat sheet, it's just a prop to make Michael look like a poet (some might say Jim Morrison). But he has sung the words wrong on plenty of occasions, I have seen numourous videos and listened to heaps of tapes and quite regularly he sings it wrong. There is a real classic in one video, I think it might be the Rock in Rio 2 video, if not Argentina 1991 with the stripper on his birthday, but during 'Mediate' on one of these concerts he completly wrecks it, he has to raise and lower his voice to fit in with the music been played, because as well as singing the wrong words, he was singing at the wrong times. Sometimes I think he sings the wrong words on purpose too, like when he hears the crowd singing the words back at him, he tries to trick them by slipping in a word or two out of place. Matthew.

The guys played really well and played for about an hour and a half. They played these songs (not in this order): Suicide Blonde Devil Inside What You Need Searchin EW NYT/Mediate Never Tear Us Apart Bitter Tears Disappear Kick Girl on Fire Taste It Heaven Sent Time Don't Lose Your Head I hope I didn't leave any out. I'm sure MaryLynn or one of the other people at the show can correct this list if I left something out. I was all the way at the front and was standing on a small block on the left hand side of the stage. Since I dig Jon and love percussion, I beat out his parts on the edge of the stage. He seemed to notice and he seemed to enjoy me beating out the parts. By the end of the show, I was in really good spirits. When they finished, Jon walked up to meet with the rest of the band and then walked over to me and handed me one of his drumsticks. I couldn't believe it!! I screamed a little in awe because I've always thought a lot of Jon. After that, I went over to where some of the VIPs were standing. I asked this lady if it would be possible to meet Jon and thank him for giving me the drumstick. I showed her my postcard stating that I was a paid member of the fanclub. After 15-20 minutes, she told me and the reporters to come on back. Guess who I saw besides Garry when I entered the backstage area? JON!!! He doesn't just hug he holds on to ya. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and when I told him thanks he said "you're quite welcome." He said that I was drumming away out there and I told him that I had been playing percussion since I was about 12. He asked if I still played and I said no and he asked why. I told him that college marching band and concert band just wasn't enthuising me anymore and he didn't say anything about that. He was cool enough to take a picture with me. I look horrible in the picture but Jon looks gorgeous as always. I met Michael and he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I told him that he spoke to me on Rockline but he didn't seem to remember. I didn't expect him to either. He seemed to be out of it throughout the show and backstage. I went on to meet Tim, Andrew, and Kirk. I introduced myself to Tim as INXSBABE and he said "your name is Karen, right?" I said yeah. I thought that was really cool. I got a hug and kiss from Tim, too. Kirk was a blast. He says that he likes to play video games but mostly April does that. Andrew was kind of quiet and just relaxed. They had to leave shortly to go to Philly to catch a plane to Atlanta so we all had to leave. My pictures all turned out bad except for the one of Jon and I close up. I'm going to try to doctor up the pics, get them scanned and post them.

I figure that the article was probably at least a couple of months in the making and so that client was at least six months ago or so. Hmmm. Dana PS - Martha Troup has been with INXS for over ten years - much longer than Paul Craig (look at the thank you list in the Kick liner notes). I wouldn't put any blame on her at all...

I wanted everyone to know who Martha Troup is. Many people have seen her name on INXS projects for quite some time. She has been an integral and vital part of their management team for many years; in fact, she played a major role (on a worldwide basis) starting with the Listen Like Thieves album and accomplishing the worldwide breakthrough success of the Kick album. Martha had been handling the North American management in connection with the EW project and her role has just been expanded. She is based in New York and is now the sole worldwide manager of INXS. The band absolutely LOVES her and feel she's done a great job. She is quite decisive and has a strong media background, radio and tv. Let's face it, they have done some interesting radio promos and tv appearances when they have the time. They truly believe in her. When Tim filled out the questionaire I gave each guy, in the question: "Who are your heros?" he wrote "Martha Troup" among others. So she's doing something right. Let's give her our congratulations and support and encourage her to get email and get online!!

After the show I was able to talk to Tim, who apologized for not writing anything on this list. He said he's been just too busy as of late (understandably) and he'd write when he got the chance.

If that's true, it should >be noted, because it's a VERY important little detail. To ignore it is >misleading. I understand your point, but it doesn't change the fact U2 and their promoters over-anticipated demand for their shows. My point was that given the amount of press and money poured into this tour, they should not have had a problem selling out a second, third, or whatever show. And by the way, when I mentioned that scalpers were dumping tickets below face value, that included shows on the first night. In other words, the reality did not live up to the over-hype. Anyway, the whole point of my argument was to say that you can pour a great deal of promotional effort into a band, whether it's INXS or U2, and still not get the desired results. The record-buying public is more fickle than it's ever been, and its attention span is getting much shorter. Band loyalty used to guarantee you 10 years of success. Now it barely gets you two years. My point was not meant as an insult to U2 nor did I mean to start another U2 debate. Back to INXS!!!!!

I've seen a few good reviews, but the review of EW in Rolling Stone was really a cop-out. Most music magazines, especially Rolling Stone, seem to be afraid to give a bad review to anything that is the "popular" or "cool" artist of the month. Any established group seems to be fair game for these so-called journalists to rip apart. Just think if EW was platinum at this point. I'd pretty much guarantee that all of these reviewers who are saying horrible things about EW would make a complete turn around and start gushing about how great INXS are. They'd probably be on the cover of Rolling Stone and everything. They have no clue. I'd just like to add that, college journalist as I am, I wrote an excellent review of EW the day it was released in our paper. I listened to the album as subjectively as possible, and found it to be a great album for anyone, not just INXS fans.

In other words, the reality did not live up to the over-hype. I'd just like to make one point here-U2's Zoo TV tour did sell out two or three nights. Here in the bay area, they played two sold out shows at Oakland Colusium, whereas for popmart the second show was barely half full. The quality of the product shows through even when the hype is there-Achtung Baby was just a much superior album. As for INXS, they made stops at two bay area radio stations but missed the main "modern rock" station (KOME doesn't count) live 105. I really don't understand that, but I'm pretty sure the first show was sold out. I don't know about the second show. > Back to INXS!!!!! > Yeah, sorry about talking about U2 again.

Subject: [INXS] Kirk's movie reviwe Date: Thu, 11 Sep 97 21:56:59 -0500 From: Nanci Lamb Roider To: "inxs-list" Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi all, I have a question for you Aussies out there. Kirk and I had a big discussion about "Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery" in the dressing room in St Louis, and he mentioned that he's such a big fan of the movie that he wrote a review of it for an Australian newspaper. He told me which one, but given all that was going on, the wine, and overall excitement, I have completely forgotten what the name of it was. Did anyone out there see it? If anyone still has it, could they please post it to the list? Or, could someone at least give me some suggestions on where to look for it? I'm sure it's available online, but I really don't know where to start. All I do remember is that the name of the paper seemed to suggest that it was a nationwide publication. Thanks much!

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hey guys well I went to the Sept 10th Tampa,FL show and all I can say is it was incredible !!!!! The show went really well and Michael talked to the crowd a lot he kept saying how much he loved Florida and how Florida is becoming the new L.A. or Hollywood I can't remember but he said you guys have the sunshine but there is no bullshit here like there is there and then he proceeded to say how everyone says hey man I want to go west he says let's go east !!! So that was cool They played all the same songs that everyone else has posted and Michael did roam the crowd and dance with the fans, he actually walked down the aisle in front of me so that was great (I had 10th row) And Michael had on the same suit with the hole in the knee which I thought was cool. So I passed put the flyers before the show because the venue wouldn't let me pass them out afterwards and it defintly was not effective at all but that's how that went... Then afterwards I went backstage and my friend and I were waiting for the band and I just roamed around on the stage and was looking at Jon's drums and talking to Davo the crew chief who was so very nice and I would like to Thank him for all his help !!!!!! the doors kept opening to the band room and my friend kept yelling "Tim" out and finally he said "What" and then he came out and I shook his hand and said Hello Tim and he had a Corona in his hand and my friend and I said "where's our beers" and he said "Oh I'll go get you one" and he went back in and said to all the guys "The girls need some beers" and then he came back out with them which I thought was really cool and he just hung out and talked to us and I got a picture with him he was so friendly and I just want to tell him that it was a pleasure meeting him...then Garry and Kirk came out and they were a blast Kirk is very funny he was showing us his glasses and making fun of them and he sat down and was talking to everyone I thought that was really nice...Andrew left and Jon came out for a few minutes and I got a picture with him and Michael came out and signed a few things and then said "I gotta go" and ran off.......So that was my experience and I have to say I had a really great time TIM, KIRK, GARRY & JON it was a pleasure meeting you again (I met them in 1985 for about 10 minutes but it was nothing like this) You guys are the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I want to say Thank you to Mary Woods for making this happen and Davo & Chris Hey Thanks guys !!!!!

Therefore the current reviewer may make snide remarks about the two previous albums being weak, but the reviewers at the time loved them. A good collection of reviews is the Rolling Stone Album Guide. All of the albums are reviewed by a single reviewer, so at least you get some consistency and a good point of reference (it is getting a bit dated, WTWYA is the latest reviewed album, still my favorite by far). An on-line site that is comparable is the All-Music Guide WWW site. There you get a variety of comments and for some albums, ratings compiled by reviews of the record buying public.

First a huge Thankyou to all who are sharing their INXS concert-adventures with us on the list... My 'what I need' -want to hear set list...? Anything they want to play... (I like all their music) what I need is to see them, hear them in person. - Sometimes I really dislike living in Wisconsin.... no Rockline, hardly any INXS played on the radio and cancelled at the last minute INXS concerts. A different INXS concert for me would be for them to showcase their B-sides and other projects as well as the new album (Love Shake the Tree) An example would be for Mike to do something from Max Q (excellent album). A thought to share... INXS could have gone on with the Milwaukee concert -that is after making sure Mike was okay... Gone on with the guys doing their personal tunes-B-sides etc......there are enough INXS fans here that would have loved, been thrilled to have heard that. ((I imagine most of the worlds devoted-'Inxsive' fans would have loved that)) For example... imagine just how cool it would have been to hear/see Garry do Middle Beast, Jon doing You Never Used to Cry. Tim and his Coming Home or In My Living Room. Wonderful eh? Then too... another possible thing that could have happened instead of cancelling the concert would have been for us fans filling in with the vocals for Mike, a sing along with INXS concert... (Mike would have been with us in Spirit). They could have done instrumental only INXS tunes.. (again our thoughts sending healing vibes to Mike) What about a time for them just to chat with us... answer some questions... get in person feedback how we feel about their music. Whatever... if it gave them all a night of rest and fun, (recovery for Mike to continue the tour) -which it did... That's good too.

MTV sucks! Anyway, I sent an e-mail to MTV and this is how it read: Last night when I happened to turn my television to your wonderful station, an amazing thing occured. Yes, there were actually music videos playing!! Wonder of wonders, music videos on Music Television!! What did we do to deserve this? Secondly, INXS was playing!! Yes, the "where are they now?" Oasis-bashed, 90s (not quite 80s) supergroup. Unfortunately, my viewing of the brilliant video to "Mediate" was destroyed by some MTV moron imitating Michael Hutchence, holding up cue cards reading, "Where...Are...They...Now?" Aside from the fact that this stale humor was just not funny to me or any other INXS fan I've talked to (and there are quite a few, although a company as out of touch with music as MTV wouldn't know it). Anybody who's not an INXS fan and have not had the opportunity to hear their latest effort, "Elegantly Wasted," wouldn't even know these guys were still around if they merely tuned to MTV. Although INXS was one of the pioneers of the new wave sound *and* music video (winning, if am I correct, 5 MTV music video awards in the past), MTV has chosen to ignore them. Videos for "Elegantly Wasted" and "Don't Lose Your Head" are played so seldom on MTV that even some INXS fans aren't sure they're released! I guess it's just the general consensus in the music media that established bands don't deserve coverage when competing with the likes of Hanson or The Spice Girls. Of course I may not like certain groups or types of music, but if I worked at a music television station, I would make an effort to get established groups, as well as new groups, air time. MTV is MUSIC TV, and should try to play a wide variety of MUSIC. Sorry to be so retro at the ripe old age of 21, but MTV has gone totally downhill since the 80s, when "Headbanger's Ball" and "Yo! MTV Raps" co-existed side by side, and music of all popular types could be seen every hour of the day. If someone actually reads this, thank you. Although begging MTV to play more music, or even one INXS video a week, would be an effort in vain, I'm hoping the station will listen to some of the people out there who want more music (and can't get M2). But you may have your "Real World" and "Singled Out"--I think I'm finished with MTV.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I read this post and I totally agree. I remember when MTV would do Rock Blocks every other Friday night about 7 years ago. I could see 3 or 4 INXS videos at a time and that where I got to see "Good Times" my one and only time. Also, I enjoyed Classic MTV with Martha Quinn. Everything was pretty good at MTV up until 92 I guess. I had cable through June of that year so I don't know what happened except from what people have told me. It seems like VH-1 is the MTV of the 90's. They know how to play Jimi Hendrix, INXS, and other bands that aren't trying to look cute. M2 is great but I only get that one hour a day when they play it on MTV. I've actually seen Rush and INXS on there (Go figure).

Laud. show :( Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Glad to hear you had a good time Karen. The Ft. Lauderdale show left a lot to be desired. I had the fan club vip pass, but was only allowed to see them as they were leaving for a few brief seconds. Great show--the best INXS show I've ever seen even though it was too short! I have never seen them play so tight. Letting all those people on stage during the encore made so many people happy :) Michael went into the crowd several times and Tim and Gary high-fived lots of people--great for fan moral! Kirk and Tim were especially friendly--what a pleasure to meet these guys, nicer than I expected, and funny! Kirk really kicked ass--I was right in front of him taking pix with my photo pass--he is an amazing musician! Tim took a couple seconds to chat on his way out--nice guy **(see Tim, I didn't lie, I am on the digest)**. Didn't have enough time to talk to Jon and Gary--quick impressions were highly favorable (Gary has a warm, friendly smile and Jon has the most amazing eyes, but I digress). Stood near Andrew, but didn't have a chance to get his autograph--the only one I'm missing :( He seems quite nice though. Michael left a lot to be desired--good thing I'm not a crazed Michael fan or I'd be seriously depressed. I wonder if Paula knows he was chasing after an asian girl at the show--dragging her off to the bus with him. She bummed some quarters off me to make a call, but was so "elegantly wasted" that she was incapable of using the telephone. The silicon-queen and her friend who were allowed to hang with the guys (without passes)...won't even go there. I don't know who's poor decision it was to cancel the aftershow party--but a BIG mistake. I have never seen such unhappy fans! Even the people with passes were not allowed backstage--they were kicked out! The people from the fan club who helped me were also denied access--even with passes. I was denied access to the pre-show event also. INXS lost a lot of OLD, long-term fans Tuesday night--what a stupid mistake on someone's part. Like the silicon-queen or the asian girl can even spell INXS to find their cd's in the store...the few real fans there with passes were treated like crap! Something to think about! I hope this doesn't happen at any of the other shows. Just thought I'd warn all of you on the digest that being the contact person with the vip pass for the fan club doesn't mean you'll get a chance to meet the guys or that you'll be treated nicely. And we're the ones that actually bought the cd's from the dawn of INXS and go to all their shows. Hope things go better for everyone else. What a shame--the concert was excellent! Now all I'm left with are pissed off memories with a couple bright spots from meeting Kirk, Jon, Tim, and Gary.

I seem to be having a rash of computer troubles…I can't seem to be able to subscribe to the INXS list, so anybody who wants to contact me, I'm at: dwy2@po.cwru.edu Thanks, Dun-Wei In any case, better late than never! So here it is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- INXS in Cleveland, OH, 8/24/97 @ the Nautica Stage I went with my girlfriend Jennifer. We met up with Paul (Mary Woods' contact/representative) and his friend. We later met Lynn (Hybrid1616@aol.com) during the show. Pretty cool! The show was at Nautica stage in the Flats of Cleveland. This was an industrial wasteland till the late 80's when developers made it into this huge section of bars, clubs, restaurants, strip clubs, etc. But a lot of the old industrial stuff from the 40's through the 70's is sitting there rusting away. The Honey Dogs opened. Regular jangly alterna-rock. Cool Kinks cover, though. The lab coat tech guys took approximately 40 billion years to set up. Oh well. The crowd was pretty small, and had a lot of older fans. Pretty cool, methinks. I made a small sign that said "Oasis Sucks", in hopes that the band would see it. Setlist: *The ENTIRE show Michael was stripping. Needless to say, the women went psycho-bonkers. Constantly sang on the mini-stage. Also laid down and writhed passionately on the mini-stage A LOT. Elegantly wasted-Michael was acting very flirty/sensual/drive the chicks mad/etc. during this. New sensation-jumped behind the speakers of the back-up singers to take off his shoes and socks. Taste it Time (speech) Michael comes onto the mini-stage. He sees my sign and gives me the thumbs up. Then Michael comments on 2 smokestacks in the background and how they're symbols of patriarchy, etc. because they resemble penises. Referring to the weird phallic tube things on stage, he says "Ya know, with 6 penises on stage, you'd figure we wouldn't need another 4!" Also comments on the Rock Bottom Brewery neon sign that hangs on a building: "You've got a huge sign that says 'Bottom'!" I'm just a man Heaven sent - Here it started raining. Michael goes in the crowd and returns bearing an umbrella. Singing in the rain Searching-Tim gives Michael a stool, where he sings it from. They turn out the light, and turn on the disco ball. Disappear Never tear us apart - sung from the mini-stage. Michael points at Tim during his riff. I feel good (James Brown) Need you tonight Mediate/vocal jam (Michael with the 2 backup singers). This was done on the mini-stage. Very cool. Bitter tears Girl on fire Kick Devil inside (speech) Here Michael asks what the heck that big thing is off to the side (it's a rusted up old bridge). He says he wanted to climb it, but the gaps between the I-beams were 12 feet long, and he's not that tall. what you need - During this, some guy in the front row grabs Michael's empty mic stand and throws it behind him into the crowd. Everyone fights for it. I had my hand on the plastic mic holding part, but there were some really strong guys who had the base who were pulling REAL hard. Security eventually comes and takes it back. Encore: During this, Michael comes onto the mini-stage, jumps into the crowd, and crowd surfs for a few minutes. Don't lose your head Mystify - Very little piano, harder, more rocking version. Suicide blonde - Andrew did his harmonica bit where he was by Jon. Didn't come out at all :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- After the show, me, Jennifer, Paul, Paul's friend, and Lynn go to the wooden fence behind the bleachers. Security lets us in and makes us put our passes on. We are under these big tents because it is raining. There are circular picnic tables all underneath the tents. We wait behind a metal pipe barrier that is at the entrance to the tents. I meet a guy I went to high school with-Frank, who does reviews for various publications. He is reviewing the show and also has a pass. There are about 7 people waiting there initially. Later on, it will become 10 to 15 people. The short-haired backup singer comes through, toting a garbage can full of beers. We tell her: "Good show!" "Thanks," she says. There are 3 or 4 people sitting at the picnic tables. There is also an old lady who seems to be doing interviews for somebody-a magazine perhaps? I dunno…There was also a black guy with an Australian accent, who knew the band. Andrew comes out and talks with the people at the tables, then begins doing an interview (I guess) with the old lady. At this time I'm foaming at the mouth-Andrew Farriss, whew! Jon comes out. He is taller than I expected, and is smoking and drinking a Corona. We stay in line, and he comes over to the metal barrier. Jon goes person to person, "Hi, how are you, etc." Some girl starts talking to him from behind and he whips around: "Hey, what are you doing? Sneaking up on me from behind…" he says with a smile. At this time, some of the rain has leaked into the tent, and Jon is accidentally edging towards a puddle. "Careful of that puddle," someone says. "That's ok-I got my boots on." Jon then lifts up his leg so we can look at his boots-black leather, with square toes. Jon seems to size you up with his eyes before actually talking to you. His hair is pretty unkempt and crazy (I assume since he just got out of the shower). It is black, not dyed blonde. He eyes me and nods at me. We shake hands. *DW = me, and JF = Jon Farriss DW: "Can you sign this for me?" I hold up the 'Oasis Sucks' sign for him. He looks at it and laughs. JF: "I can't sign that." DW: "How about on the back?" Silence while he looks at the sign. JF: "OK." He takes my sign and autographs it in big letters on the back. DW: "Do you mind if I get a picture with you?" JF: "Sure-no problem." Right after this, Kirk comes out of the dressing room. Security lets us inside the barrier. Kirk is extremely friendly and talks with everyone. He yells out "Where's the airshow?!" I guess Cleveland had an airshow that weekend…He spies my sign and laughs. *DW = me, and KP = Kirk Pengilly KP: "You know, when we were shooting the video for 'Elegantly Wasted', our director was foreign. So he couldn't understand what we were saying, so he was like: "Ya know, it sounds like you're singing 'Better than Oasis' during the chorus!" So we did a couple takes where we actually sang 'Better than Oasis' during that part!" I then ask Kirk if he would sign my sign. KP: "Sure! Although, (whispering) I actually do like them…" DW: "Well, maybe, but INXS is way better!" KP: "Well, that's true…" DW: "Hey! Can't argue with the facts!" KP: (shrugging) "That's right!" DW: "I was wondering if I could get a picture with you?" KP: "Sure!" Jennifer takes a picture of us before either of us is ready, so we have crazy faces. KP: "Do you want a second one for a safety?" DW: "No man, it's cool, don't worry about it." Then I take one of Kirk and Jennifer. Kirk takes a picture with Lynn. Then Lynn shows him the IN2XS banner she made and has him sign it. We tell him that this is the new INXS fan club and that this is how we got our passes. KP: (laughing) "I know! I know! I went to school! Didn't do too well, but…" (laughs) Tim comes out (beer in hand) and sees me. Behind him I can see Michael talking with the old lady. *DW = me, L = Lynn, and TF = Tim Farriss DW: "Hi, Tim." We shake hands. TF: "Hey there!" DW: "I saw you guys in '93 at the IX Center. You had long hair slicked back in a ponytail, and you were wearing a vest." TF: (nodding) "Yeah, yeah, I was!" DW: "You guys were awesome!" TF: "Well, thanks! What's your name?" DW: "Dun." TF: "OK, hi, I'm Tim. Well, of course you know that I'm Tim, but I like to introduce myself personally." I then ask him if he can sign my sign. He looks at it and laughs. TF: "Where is this going?" DW: "I promise not to send it to their fan club!" TF: "Hey, I don't care!" DW: "Yeah-it's true. What are you gonna do?" TF: "That's right! Ha ha!" He signs the sign. DW: "Can I get a picture with you?" TF: "Sure!" As Jennifer takes our picture, Tim grabs me like a maniac, so our faces are smooshed together. Tim then sees Lynn, who shows him her IN2XS banner. L: "This is the new fan club." TF: "Yeah, yeah, I know all about it! Well, this is certainly something, eh? Very cool!" He signs the banner as we tell him about the INXS list. TF: "Yeah, I know about that, I've been on it…what's your mail-name?" L: "Hybrid1616." TF: "Yeah, yeah! You're Ann? Lyndsey?" DW: (whispering) "Lynn." TF: (very theatrically, as if he had just thought of it) "Lynn!!" L: "Yes." TF: "See, I knew it was Lynn…" L: "Without an 'e'." TF: "Well, of course…You posted all in caps, didn't you?" I spy Michael talking with some guy. Michael is sitting at the picnic tables, with his head tilted to the right. I am standing to his left. The guy leaves, and Michael kind of looks around. Then he sees me waiting for him, and pats the bench to his left. I go and sit with him. We shake hands, and I ask him to autograph the sign. He smiles as he reads it and signs it. Of course, as he is doing so, the pen runs out, so he had to sign it 3 times! It is obvious that he is very tired and out of it a little bit. * DW = me, and MH = Michael Hutchence DW: "'Deepest Red' is the best song you guys ever did." He looks off to the side, thinking. MH: "OK, yeah…" he says, while obviously thinking: "What the $^%& is this kid talking about?" DW: "Thank you for all the music you've given us. You guys are the best." MH: (sighing) "Awww…." He then grabs my neck and kisses me where my neck meets my cheek. Then he kind of slithers his arms around me and hugs me. He's wearing a silky, rustly shirt, so the whole thing was very slithery and serpent-like. DW: "Can I get a picture with you?" MH: "Sure." We take a picture. DW: "Thank you, Michael." He smiles at me. I fight not to pass out. Andrew is standing around, looking about. I walk over and shake his hand. * DW = me, and AF = Andrew Farriss DW: "Hi, Andrew." AF: "Hey." DW: "I just wanted to say that you're one of the best songwriters around. And one of the best keyboardists, percussionists, guitar players, harmonica players…" AF: (nodding and smiling with each instrument) "Thanks!" DW: "I heard that you just had a child?" AF: (looking surprised, nods) "Yes-I have a son." DW: "Oh-congratulations!" We shake again. AF: "Thanks, thanks a lot." DW: "What's his name?" AF: "Matthew." DW: "Cool. I was wondering if you could sign this…" I hand him the sign. He looks at it for a long time. AF: "Where is this going?" DW: "Nowhere! Well, maybe I'll make it into a license plate or something…" He looks at the sign for a LONG time. AF: "Hmmm…(shrugging)… all right." DW: "Could I get a picture with you?" AF: "Yeah, no problem." I get a picture with Andrew, then some of Andrew and Lynn, and Andrew with the black guy with the Australian accent. Kirk and Tim are talking with some girl, who obviously is a friend of the band. They are all drinking Coronas. I am standing to their left, and I shout out: "Bottoms up, Kirk!" He looks at me and takes a drink for my camera. Lynn sits next to Kirk on his right and he leans his head on her shoulder. I take a picture of them. My high school friend Frank goes to get his picture of INXS autographed by Michael. He comes back and says not to talk to Michael because he is exhausted. I stick my head around the corner. Michael is sitting about 50 feet away by himself, all the way over by the buses. He has his legs crossed, is smoking, and looks really tired. Gary finally comes out of the dressing room, toting his bass. He stands around talking with everyone. I approach him with the sign. He is shorter and skinnier than I expected. *DW = me, and GGB = Gary Gary Beers GGB: (laughing) "Oasis sucks…HA!" He signs my sign: "True - Gary Gary Beers" The he starts drinking Coronas also. Kirk comes by, picks up a Corona, and drinks it. KP: "Hey! This isn't mine! My beer was much colder." He leaves to get a new one. He comes back and sits down with Lynn and I. DW: "I've got a question for you." KP: "Sure." DW: "You guys have done VH1 and Hard Rock Live." KP: "Yup, yup." DW: "Why have you never done MTV Unplugged?" KP: "I think it's the rebel in us, you know-- it's been so overdone. I mean EVERYBODY'S done it. We've actually been asked to do unplugged numerous times, but we never really considered it. Then we were all ready to do it, but by that time everyone had done an MTV Unplugged, so we thought "Well, that's no good." Besides, a lot of our music wouldn't translate well in an unplugged thing. Many of our songs have so many elements to them that…" DW: "You'd need like a full orchestra in there or something." KP: "Yeah, basically. Our music just doesn't lend itself to that format. If you're an Eric Clapton or something it works, but for us…We've actually been doing some radio shows in Europe acoustically, and those have been turning out pretty good." DW: "I just wanted you to know that 'Deepest Red' is my favorite song." KP: "Yeah? You should go talk to Jon-he wrote that one. Ya know, actually, a lot of INXS fans tell me that that's their favorite song." At this point, Tim comes back out of the dressing room by kicking open the door. He grabs his foot and hops around. TF: "Ow!! I thought I'd be all cool and macho and kick open the door, but I think I've broken my damn toe!" Then he took his beers and left. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- What they were wearing: *The first outfit is during the show, the second is during the after-show meet & greet.

I was the VIP person for St Louis, and had no problem getting backstage to get fliers from Chris and Davo, and I had no problems when it was time to meet the band. And, above all, I was *always* treated nicely by the INXS tour personnel. Chris was very cordial, and Davo was fabulous! He and their wardrobe lady cracked jokes with me, and Davo gave me a tour of the tour bus and let me run up and down the aisles, and answered all my questions (yes, those beds are apparently comfortable.)

I hope I remembered the name correctly. Flame Fortune (if that is the name) is the name of a band that released some music in the eighties. But it's not an ordinary band, because all the members were in very successful bands at the time. Andrew Farriss is playing the keyboards, Rick Grossman (I'm sure I got this name wrong too), the bass guitarist from the Hoodoo Gurus and I'm sure there was someone from Hunters and Collectors joined together and produced some music. I have only seen the 'members orange vinyl version' of an LP called 'Jungle Boy'. It was produced by Michael Hutchence, Mark Opitz and somebody else. Anyone out there want to shed some light on this?? I know I have all the info. right, apart from a few of the titles which may be slightly wrong. I just remembered, that all this info may be on neil's inxs website, so let me know if it is.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Who Pay's The Price This song's cool and I don't mind hearing the live version of the video. I must confess one of my favourite intruments is the harmonica (used to tremendous effect). I just admire the utter rawness of it, fair enough there's a touch of reverb on Michael's voice but it just explodes with melody from beginning to end. It's one of those 'soul searching' songs they've been doing readily since Kick. It occurred to me that the final lyrical format may have been changed by the band. It seems to me Michael, instead of the word war - "it's like a war, who pays the price, if you want more", probably had the word "whore" in mind. Knowing that Michael doesn't think a song worthy unless it's got some sexual over/under/round tone in it. It's feasible that they changed it thinking whore was too controversial/outdated. Just a thought...? I had an idea that might be interesting the other day, why don't we disseminate ideas on 'unreleased' INXS videos. IE Why don't we talk about what the video for 'Just a Man' would look like. Would the band do a big budget clip or would it be colourful and cheap. Would there be an audience like in some of the other videos. What would they be wearing etc. What about Who Pays the Price, would there be slomos and black and white images of the band in poor man's clothing. I just think it would be exciting talking about the unkown, the only limit is your imagination. We are all producers at heart.

Would there be >an audience like in some of the other videos. What would they be >wearing etc. I hope they don't do the audience thing. When it's real, like the Time video, it's ok. From what I've heard about the everything video, it sounded kind of cheesy and sometimes you can tell things are set up and not genuine affection between the band and the crowd (except for a select few). I may be wrong, of course, the video would have to be shown first. For "just a man", the song itself is very stripped down and builds layers on. I would think black and white. My treatment of the video:For the intro, slow pan of sky down to a cityscape, when the cymbals come and the song kicks in, the band on a deserted city street, intercut with the usual random imagery. Also intercut with each band member playing against a black background, with the whites really burning out the blacks, Michael on a stool singing, reserved at first but really letting loose with the emotion as the song goes on. For the city shots, have the activity slowly build up in the street until near the end, where everything around them is going by really fast, with streaks and stuff, kind of like (I hate to say this) that Spice Girls video where they're in the city. To me the song is all about a build up, of instruments, of the passion in Michael's voice and I think the video should complement that and the black and white should help emphasize the raw emotion that the song is based on. Also, the whole city passing the band by thing, I think, illustrates the pulling order out of chaos theme that I got out of the song ("My mother ran/my father left town/but we still had/what's necessary to go on"). Well, that's my idea, I'd love to hear what other people come up with. Good idea for a thread.

I have nothing to do with this company, I´m only trying to get $50 to buy from their store (again, read their page to know more about this).

I think having it in color, maybe mixed in with some black and white shots, would do well. I like a lot of the imagery you talk about, but somehow I always like to listen to the song near sunset, with the sun casting long shadows over landscape as I'm driving down the highway. I think that would fit with the video as well. I prefer a lot of shots out in the country, with some bits of cityscape. This was not originally one of my favorite songs from EW, but ever since they played it at the KC show it's quickly become my favorite, even more so than She Is Rising (now THAT would have been a great song to see played live).

The band was made up of: Rick Grossman (bass), Tim Brosnan (guitar), James Reyne (rhythm guitar), Barton Price (drums) and Andrew Farriss (keyboards). Also Buzz Bidstrup (percussion on Jungle Boy). I've never heard of an album as someone mentioned, I think it was only a one-off single - there is a 12" & 7" on Orange Vinyl. The 12" features 'Sex Symbol' and 'Jungle Boy (Dance Mix)' it was released in 1985. As for the t.v. commercial it was for Bike Helmets! It had a cartoon of Molly Meldrum riding a bike around Australia, and when he got to Melbourne he rides across the M.C.G., and on the Electronic scoreboard the words 'What You Need' came on! It was meant that the helmet was 'What you need', but I always use to think there was some INXS link, as it turned out there was! That ad has not been on for many years, my sister use to think she has it on one of her videos somewhere, but I haven't seen the ad since the 80's. At the end of the ad, the real life Molly comes along riding a bike, and the ad said "Keep your head together wear a helmet". Pretty cool ad wish they brought it back, must have been effective if I can remember the slogan after all these years :) I wouldn't imagine it would be worth $40, however I've noticed a lot of record dealers charge quite a lot for it (probably because it's orange vinyl). However, how much a record is worth, is how much the record is worth to YOU. If it's worth $40 to YOU buy it. The big question I want to know is - Was there a video for this single in Australia in 1985? I would imagine there was but I have never seen it. Anyone else ever seen one? Matthew.

I thought they would only bother to sing about something if it happened regularly and in, I think it is the In Search of Excellence video, when the camera goes into the changing room they have to put a hat infront of the camera as Garry's got nowt on. Also he did take to wearing a tribal skirt in the FMDH tour. So I thought maybe he's one of these people who don't like to wear clothes ( I can't remeber the name for it). I may have just put 2 and 2 together and made 5 though, but seeing as alot of you people have met them and know more about them do any of you think this is true.

After 14 years, it amounts to a rather large hunk of my 400+ cd collection...not to mention I love the music. I just felt things could have been handled better...poor choices were made, lots of fans got pissed off, and many fans were lost after this show (I'm just not one of them). Whoever keeps emailing Mtv...give up...I've tried before and it does no good. They are so desparate to be on the cusp of the next newest thing in music they forget to show what is out and available. Putting the cart before the horse I believe. Switch to VH1 like everyone else. At least INXS gets some air time there. I'm also on the Tears for Fears digest--same problems as with INXS: strong fan support, talented musicians, labelled as an 80's only band, and no airplay. Fans make the difference--just keep buying the cd's and going to the shows. It worked for the Greatful Dead...so it will work for INXS and TFF. Have a FABULOUS day everyone.

If it's not 'Speed Kills' with Don Walker I will suggest some other videos it may have been. 'Motorcycle Baby' - this video is by 'Ecco Homo' who is really Troy Davies who is a make-up artist for Richard Lowenstein, the skinhead at the start of Dogs in Space, the interviewer in Australian Made, interviewer in Welcome...presskit etc. Anyway this video has Michael on a motorbike, also features Tim and Jon playing guitar, Jon is playing guitar with his teeth! Perhaps you may have thought Troy was Mark Seymour perhaps? - There was a Noiseworks video called 'Take Me Higher' around 1990, which Michael sang backing vocals but you don't see him in the video, so it wouldn't be that. And your not thinking any of the 3 Max Q video's or 'Rooms for the memory', so there is no other non-INXS Michael video clips it could be??? If you were watching a Rage special - they would have played them in this order 'Speed Kills', 'Rooms..', 'Motorcycle Baby', '3 Max Qs'....so I would imagine it's 'Motorcycle Baby' you saw.

I like Who Pays the Price. The bass drum helps to accentuate the song in the beginning. The rhythm in the song is great period, from the claps to the drums and cymbals themselves. Charlie helps make the song being that he is a blues harpist, cause they say it "brings you down, just like a wall," so it has a depressive thread running in the song. It grooves, what I mean is it's great to listen to when driving.

It actually seemed more like a party than a concert! Michael was mingling with the audience half of the time, actually walking up and down aisles at one point. As always, they sounded phenomenal. By the time they played Suicide Blonde at the end, the stage was completely filled with fans! One could only see Jon behind his elevated drum set and Michael when he occasionally made his way through the crowd to the front of the stage! They played Mystify, which had been omitted at the NJ show for some reason, which I was happy about. I've seen 4 INXS shows, and this was by far their most entertaining. Michael even brought his daughter out on stage during one song! I seriously hope they put some cotton in her ears! Even though I was not 2 feet away from the band (as I was in NJ), I felt just as much a part of the experience from my rear orchestra seats. Even the stage hands were cool. When I walked up to the stage after the show was over, I saw one of them collecting picks off of the stage and I asked him for one. The guy flipped me the pick without batting an eye. It was one of Garry's. I picked up (no pun intended) one of Tim's at the NJ show. I don't know how many other opportunities I'll get to see this band in the future, but if they never make it back here again (God forbid), I'd have to say that they put on the greatest shows I've ever seen! Tim, if your reading this, thank you and the band for putting on the best concerts and creating the greatest music I've ever heard. Later, Dennis P.S. I'm sorry I missed the other list members that were at the show. I got there late and was never able to spot anybody. :( X-Sender: tcharles@horta.zoology.uq.edu.au Date: Thu, 18 Sep 1997 09:44:00 +1000 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: "Tony G.

First of all it would start of in total darkness with only a few shafts of light giving you glimpses of what appears to be the band. This would run over the entire intro to the song (before the vocals cut in). Then as the vocals cut in wham! the camera would cut to a close-up of the band under intense, almost blinding lighting on a stage and "Show me, show me. The camera/s would follow basically an A1 live performance of the band (neatly attired) complete with a lights show, cutting into individual shots of Jon when there's a drum fill, or Tim when there's a guitar solo/chord stroke etc. Of course the main shot would be of most of the band. The only weird thing about the video would be the audience. Here I thought that there would only be one girl, but one girl duplicated as many. This would represent Cherry, the girl Michael was talking about. Thoughout the entire video the images of this girl would remain completely oblivious to the band's performance, they would just simply stare at the band with no emotional output. The girl would be wearing black, black hair and the make up would make her look positively negative (lol). You could achieve the duplication effect using large cut out pictures or, probably better, a large movie screen. I think the multiple imaging goes well for the video seeing as how Michael mentions the name Cherry about umpteen times. And the fact that she is lifeless also goes well with Michael's lyrics, regretablly with point blank literality in the second half of the song. BTW - The first time I heard this song, at the end where he really shoots of a "how", I was muttering expletives to myself cause I had the stereo turned up really """loud""" and that vocal was almost deafening.

They also made fun of Australia.

I'll try to get some more info tomorrow (even though all Polygram care about this week is manufacturing enough Candle in the Wind cd's) Matthew.

Thanks for you help > anyway. > > Nats I have an idea, I just remembered the reason INXS called Richard Lowenstein up to Queensland to film 'Burn for you' was because Michael had seen the video Richard did for 'Hunters & Collectors' ('Company of a Stranger' it may have been called or something like that???) And Michael really liked the video and thought who made that? So that's how they met Richard, perhaps they played this Hunters & Collectors video with the INXS special because Richard Lowenstein made it - but there is no Michael in that clip. I remember that Rage special in late 1990, as I had just got back from going to a warm up gig for the X-tour at the Townsville Soundshell, and I went to school when I got back and this girl asked if I was watching the INXS Special on Rage at the weekend, and I didn't know about it because I'd been away! I can't recall seeing any H&C clip perhaps it was after the INXS bits and I had turned it off, and they started playing Richard Lowenstein video's like 'When love comes to town' by U2 etc. I didn't video 1990's special because I already had all the clips, so I don't know what it was you saw???

Brilliant imagery, and possibly you could add a flash image of Cherry lying in the gutter, a knife and some blood, Michael and Tim standing next to her. This image obviously during the second verse as Michael sings, "found in the gutter...with a knife in her back". Just a thught ...activate, now radiate!

You'd think that the video would have more of a fan to band feel to it, for the people watching it. From: Steven F Burnette I think that it would be cool for the band to get just members from the fanclub or people from the list to do a video. I'm sure that the affection between the band and the crowd would be genuine.
