This included credits, etc - ie the version released to all media free of charge for distribution. I believe that MTV Australia played it also. Unfortunately, I don't have the means by which to make copies at this point in time, but perhaps there are some other Aussies out there who taped this and can help out?? I believe that it was reported that the Coroners Report will now be released in February, and it will be decided then whether or not a public inquest is required. It has been said that no further information will be released until this time. And yes, Kelland and Rhett Hutchence will be featured in a special half hour interview on Sydney's 'Today Tonight' tomorrow (Wednesday) night.

If they hadn't been posted on a nice free internet site, I'd never have seen them because even for wonderful pictures like that, I'd never give 2 cents to the rag that dared to exploit them.

Duran Duran also were in town to perform at Q101's sold-out Twisted 4 concert Thursday at the United Center. Le Bon dedicated that set to INXS singer Michael Hutchence, who was found hanged last month. ``He was a very, very close friend of mine,'' said Le Bon, who is the father of three girls with his model wife, Yasmine. ``He was my closest friend in the music industry, outside of my own band. But I don't believe it was suicide. I knew how much he had been dying to have that daughter [Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily] of his for such a long time. ``He really wanted that kid.

The results from our "list name" poll came back with a resounding affirmation for "INXS List" as the title (it won with 12 votes, the next in line was "Elegantly Listed," with 7.) So, the new address for posting messages will be "inxs-list@digitalcastle.com" I know this is a bit cumbersome, but for the time being, it'll have to work. I've requested a specific domain for the list, but that hasn't gotten back to me yet. So you'll all know, I'm writing this on Tues, 16th Dec, at 8:45 AM, and I'm about to head out of town until Sunday night. I hate that I have to go away during this changeover, but, as the inestimable John Lennon said, "life is what happens while you're making other plans." So, if there are any problems, please email me about them, nanci@digitalcastle.com, and I can take care of them Monday, 22 Dec. The iastate address works until the 20th, and I'll be back the 21st, so, feel free to email either list, knowing that we're all covered in any case. I hope this will be a smooth transition, and I foresee no problems with it. One thing is different for now, you must type the new list address into your "to" field when posting to the list, as I've not yet had a chance to set it up to reply automatically to the list. For you "older" list members, you'll recall that the list operated in this way until only about 6 or 7 months ago, so perhaps it won't be too difficult for everyone to make this small adjustment. Again, you're all subscribed to the new list, and you should send your posts to "inxs-list@digitalcastle.com" Please email me if you have any difficulties at all. Take care and I'll be in touch Sunday night/Monday morning!

Thomm Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Umm thats a little harsh there Thomm, "let it ride" mate. We all are going through a grieving progress on this list, and all of us are handling it in different/similar ways. We all understand what a tragic loss it is, the death of Michael takes something special from us all. Its not fair, it never will be and it can't be undone. Thats the blunt facts, Michael Hutchence (along with the rest of INXS) in the past has provided us with music that will be with us forever. At present, Michael in the physical form is no longer with us. Some of us on the list want to forget about the present and we wish the future to arrive that much quicker, in short we want to be happier. Rationale dictates to us that Michael is gone,.....but he is not forgotten. I personally cannot stand living with negativity for long periods of time, sometimes you have to face it, our nemesis, and "kick" it in the teeth with a smile. Some of Michael's most meaningful lyrics were about standing in the midst of one's enemies and rising above it in the grandest style. I refuse to let the death of a loved one stand in the way of the happiness that I have derived from the talent/persona that they possessed. In short Michael was singing to make me and others happy (us), he achieved this and it cannot be taken from him or us by anything or anyone. Life has handed us a contract, and perpetuity is one of it's beauties/drawbacks, some of us will be able to "move on" quicker then others, but we will all eventually move on, it is a realisation we will all face. Michael Hutchence was singing because he wanted to make people happy............In memory of Michael, I am indeed happy. Thank you Michael.

Thomm -- I completely understand that everyone grieves in their own way and at their own pace. If this comes across as harsh, I apologize ahead of time. First of all, many of us on the list have been fans of INXS for more than 6 years. Personally, I've been a fan since their 1983 US tour when they opened for Adam Ant. You said: > what kind of fans are you? im just trying for my part to accept >mike's death while stupid people like you are thinking 'bout another >singer It is incredibly rude of you to call others stupid, simply because you don't agree with their point of view. For your information, we are fans of INXS -- all 6, now 5, members. We are concerned about the future of the band, for their sakes as well as ours. Many of the people discussing possible lead vocalists have actually known the guys for many years. I've said this many many times -- no one is talking about "replacing" Michael. I don't believe that can be done. His was a very unique voice. Rather, if the decision is made to continue on with a new lead vocalist, I feel the band will look for someone to compliment their sound. Your said: >imagine Michael's reaction if only he could see that from heaven! >please try to be serious!his death is not a joke and if you really >were "fans" you 'd not talk like tt! Do you honestly think Michael would want us to wallow in sadness over his passing? Michael was someone who enjoyed life to the hilt. I can't think of the exact wording, but he was quoted in the past as saying something to the effect of, "you have to grab as much as you can because there's no going back for seconds." If it was indeed suicide, I don't believe Michael honestly knew what he was doing. He enjoyed life and his family way too much. I seriously doubt he would want the rest of the guys to just pack up and go home and never record together again. Try to apply this to your own life. If you worked in the same place for 20 years with the same group of people, and one of them died unexpectedly, would you quit your job simply because it wouldn't be the same? Of course not. You said: >. . . . wrote that replacing Michaelis not,i quote:"disgraceful" may i adda thing? fans like you ARE DISGRACEFUL! Why are we disgraceful? Because some of us are further in the grieving process than you are? Again, incredibly rude of you to say this. As I said in the beginning, I apologize if this came off as harsh. I understand that you are having a difficult time with Michael's death -- but so are we. ~*~ Donna ~*~ X-Originating-IP: [206.26.122.116] From: "Shivaun Schulte" To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] VH1 show sunday Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 11:36:33 PST Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu VH1 is broadcasting the best of Hard Rock Live #3 which includes INXS on This Sunday at 12 midnight Eastern Std time herer in the states.

First it makes me a little mad to be kind of lectured at about getting on with our lives. I personally, am not ready to give up my grief quite yet and prefer to continure to talk about it on this list. It certainly isn't anything that I can talk about anywhere else in my life. And I have not given my life over to grieving for Michael - I have carried on in all the usual ways. But Michael's death is a much bigger deal to me than I could ever have imagined and I still need to express this. Some people heal faster than others and some people heal better by focusing on some sort of games - like who will be the lead singer. I personally was shocked when I first read this tread but, then I realized it was some peoples way of coping and meant no disrespect to the band or Michael. I do see,however, from Mikes post, that this "game" might hurt the feelings of the band. Now to thank Mike Gee. He has shown that he is a real fried to us on this list all through this ordeal. He has kept us up-to-date on happenings in Asutralia, wrote a beautiful article on Michael and has made a tribute page that is the one I return to daily. I also think he is trying to warn us that we might be approached (as we were by that Ed something) by people who don't have our best interest at heart - get us to say something that might turn up in an article or book and not always and in the way we meant. That has made me to wonder if we have any rights over our words spoken on the list on the list. Can anyone come in and take them? Does anyone know this? Seems like I should being a law librarian! I will ask on some of my law lists. Do you think we as list members should decide that we will not talk to anyone writing about Michael? Of course, it is up to indivuduals but it could be a general policy that we accept. At least for the first year or so. I even think that in a year or so some of us might want to put together something ourselves, mainly for Tiger, but also for the guys and us. Much of what we have to say is already in the tributes collected by IN2XS so maybe that is enough. But it is an option. Any, Mike Gee, thanks for warning us but let us grieve a while longer. I was also sad to hear that Kell and Rhett Hutchence are going to talk to the press. Can you think of any reason they would do this? Is it the money? Paula I expected for the publicity as well as the money. But I don't understand his father and brother.

This list, the network of inxs pages, the dedication of all the fans. If I weren't on this list and a member of our little community (and I do think we have our own little community here) I would be totally in the dark as reports like this spew from the likes of - oh yeah it's bashing time - MTV. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this? And I'm paraphrasing here - may as well - they did: "Reports from Australia are that INXS has elected singer Jack Jones to be the new front man....(and here I'm expecting them to say aren't true but nooo) but band representatives say that it will be some time before the band continues on (or something to that effect) the coronor's report is due out this week (not! get up-to-date sheesh!) and Tim Farriss is quoted as saying he's not mad at Michael for taking his life because he did it it was because he was sick." I suppose we should be happy they're saying something but how out-of-context can you get? Out of everything that the actual interview says, how come this is the only thing being used? I haven't liked any of the "paraphrasing" I've seen in subsequent articles. What the hell is wrong with this world anyway? I understand the paradox of writing. I know that something I say can be taken a hundred different ways. I know that the human mode of expression is metaphor. I know that interpretation is up to the individual. I know that misunderstanding is inevitable. But why do people who also know and understand this and who are supposedly dedicated to giving just the facts continually put their own slant and impressions on other peoples' words? Why do *news* outlets have to continually sink to the *entertainment* level and do a chop shop number on peoples' feelings? And even though there are time constrictions and space constrictions, why do they have to take only part of a quote when it can be so easily misinterpreted that way? They could have dropped everything they said and said something worthwhile. I thought the anger had gone. I was wrong, so wrong.

I'm sure half of you will be sighing and going, "no, not another rant'. Coupleof things, firstly re Patricia's comments which were great: if anybody else had the impression that I was saying/ordering 'stop grieving now' in the previous email, please accept my apologies. It w asn't meant that way. There is no time limit on grief and nobody has the right to tell anybody else how they should or shouldn't feel. More I was just trying to say that life isn't all bad and it's kind of important to see that the beauty and the positives still exist as well as recognise and experience the pain. Hope that clears it up. Emotions are so tricky to put into words. What Patricia also raised was a very important point: What are your rights as - in many cases - site owners containing stories, interviews, personal thoughts, memories etc about INXS. Yesterday I rang Shawn Deacon, the band's publicist, about Ed St John's forthcoming biography on Michael. I wanted to find out whether it had the band's blessing and whether it was an official autobiography. My initial assumption as it was Ed - for those of you who don't know: he was the writer employed by the band to put together the tour program for the cancelled tour and has known the band a long time - was that this was initial research and the book would eventually come out in about a year's time. Unfortunately, that is not so. According to Shawn, they are trying to get the book out by the end of January/beginning of February, it's completely unofficial, and the band are devastated that a person they considered a friend has actually agreed to do this for a major publishing company. Horribly, it's another money talks number. Shawn is talking to Martha Troup about it and hopefully there will be a press release in the near future stating that ALL books currently in the writing about Michael - apparently there maybe a couple more - are unofficial and cimpletely unsupported by the band. So what do? Well, his researcher called me this morning and I will get back to her today or tomorrow, but personally I'll be expressing my extreme disgust at Ed's decision and making everything in THE iZINE off limits to Mr St John or any others who care to do what he is doing. Which brings us to your rights: First, copyright does exist on the internet. There are several landmark US court decisions that have established that in the past year. While the exact definition of how copyright works on the internet is still rathe rloose and imprecise the fact that it doe sexist gives you certain rights. Nobody can reprint material by yourself on your site without your permission. The next bit is important: if you are running articles by other writers you need to carry a line saying something along the lines of 'all copyright other than that relating to articles by ".........yourself ......." belongs to the original authors of the articles/interviews/reviews on this site'. Further to that a line saying "No material on this site may be reproduced in any way whatsoever in any form of publication whatsoever online or offline without the express permission of the owners of this site or the author of any given article'" is also important. It doesn't give you 100 per cent production - at the moment nothing does on the 'Net - but it does effectively warn people off and establish your rights to your own material while hopefully protecting other people who material on your site. Should any of that material - particularly by yourself - appear in a book, magazine etc then you have the right to sue, demand payment for and - if you want to take it to the max - ask that the book etc be immediately withdrawn and the information relating tocomments by yourself or whatever removed. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be moving all the material relating to the tragedy to another section all its own - it's currently on the news index - where it will be stay forever. However there will be a major link off the news page so you don't have to changelinks, bookmarks etc. When I do I'll be putting up a strongly worded and prominent statement that THe iZINE doesnot supporting anyway anybody writing unauthorised biographies about Michael Hutchence and that all material within is fully copyrighted to THE iZINE and the authors of the material and not available for reproduction in anyway whatsoever in any such books. I hope that doesn't sound too bloody complicated but it's an unfortunate by-product of the growth of the 'Net and a very serious issue at the moment: there are many people now writing unauthorised music biographies and picture books simply by going through 'net sites lifting quotes, accrediting them in te book and publishing. For instance - and this isn't supposed to sound egotistical - I received a copy of a new book on Garbage due out in the next month or so: I've interviewed Butch and Shirley several times and the interviews are online in asmall site called The Garbage Bin. The book quotes these interviews and myself seven times in its 150 page s or so, each time quoting my name and the source, and also gives the e-zine a link in its accreditations at the back. Altogether about 10 Garbage sites and various authors have been quoted and accredited. Now I could ask for some form of copyright payment from the book company, if I didn't like the book it get it all taken out and stop publication of the book etc. I won't in this case, simply because the book is well done, the author has obviously attempted to source and accredit his information properly and therw is nothing contentious, odious or wrong at stake here. In the end it is good publicity. However I will be ringing the publisher to s ay that - w hile I appreciate all that - a phone call or email would have been nice - and the correct thing to do. Those are your rights. And they are vitally important otherwise the 'Net will become a free for all where everybody is just ripped off senseless. I am going to seek legal advice on how best to protect online information and when I get it back I'll pass it on to you. I'll also let you know what Ed's researcher has to say. If any or all of you wish me to tell her that information on your sites is not for use in nay circumstance please email me and I'll compile a list and give it to her.

All things considered, there hasn't been much negativity on the list at all. In fact, I think we all need to pat each other on the back for being so supportive during what has been a horrible time in our lives. That said, the only *real* negativity I have seen on this list began with thomm's post. All of us would agree that Michael CAN NEVER be replaced. What bothered me about the post (and some of the subsequent responses) was the manner and tone in which it was presented. There was so much anger directed toward people who are grieving so badly. And what is with calling each other names? Nobody likes to be called stupid. (Maybe it would be helpful for all of us to put ourselves in the shoes of the recipient(s) and re-read our posts before we hit the *send* button.) And...it makes no difference how long someone has been a fan or how long someone has been on the list. Those things are completely irrelevant. The bottom line is that we've all suffered a major loss and need to support each other...regardless of what each of us thinks the future of the band should be. Just my two cents...now back to our regularly scheduled programming...Irene. ----Original Message Follows---- Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 20:08:35 -0600 (CST) From: meghann r matwichuk To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] Re: harsh words...

Also 37, I never seemed to have the opportunity or freedom to actually get out there & see the band (& my heart cried everytime I knew they were near!), however, but for the past year I'd planning with anticipation, for their next time back because now I was finally free of everything tying me down & I was whole-heartedly determined to make Michael mine for just 1-night! Now my heart is torn into bits & my soul longs for his. I know we would have been so right for each other for that 1-night; that would last forever! I really don't know what to do or how to ease the pain; I don't know that I could ever withstand thinking whole-heartedly that he actually really is, truely gone! ...share with me in my sorrow, & i'll share with you in my joy....

I spoke to Ed's researcher today and told her - rather strongly - how I felt about Ed's decision and why and asked her to ask Ed to reconsider. Apparently he won't. He has been condemned by musicians and friends of Michael, and by the band, but his argument is that it's better he write an unauthorised book because at least he was "close" to the band than somebody else who wasn't. The logic of that statement is, of course, profoundly illogical. His researcher confirmed the book will be out late Jan/early Feb - it's a rush job: you'll realise just what sort of book that's going to result in. There are unconfirmed rumours that when the book is released parts of it will be syndicated to run in women's and gossip magazines, tabloid press etc. How disgusting. I also said that several webmasters of INXS sites had also asked me to pass on their decision - the same as THE iZINE's - that all material on their sites was copyright and completely unavailable to Mr St John or any other such writer. and that the majority of the thousands of people on this list condemned his decision to do the book. Incidentally, there could be upto 3 or 4 books on Michael in the pipeline. I also asked whether Ed would be donating his fee to a charity and whether the publishers would be donating their profits to a charity as well. The answer is, of course, No. She's new to the situation and has only been working on the book 5 days and admitted that she was "surprised" by how deep feelings ran. She found it all rather "Shakespearean". Any how the band released the following statement today: "For those being propositioned for comment on INXS, all books currently being written are unauthorised and are without the bands permission or co-operation." Short and to the point. If there are further developments I'll pass them on. Take care out there.

It was still sitting there a few days later, and I debated whether or not to cut out the article and take it home-- I did, but I would never go out and buy the thing.

Funny, one would think they were married reading that. And of course there isn't one mention of the band in the article. ( probably a good thing there isn't ) Anyway I didn't mention it to the list before because it just doesn't seem worth it. I strongly dislike ( trying not to use the word hate ) these types of "reporters" for the hell they put Michael ( and others ) through.

I also send them a e-mail on their site ( at feed MTV news) reminding that they need to check their sources and reminding them that they have a copy of the George Negus interview and this is the official message from the band. My son told me that they (MTV) were reporting that INXS had added a new singer and a pain just shot through my heart. Then I knew that it wasn't true ,just another rumour. So many fans do not have this site to share the real news and certainly have not read or heard the interview. Heck, a lot of people are not even aware that Michael died yet here in the states, busy with their own lives/jobs etc. I heard someone asking why there was a special display of the INXS materials at a local record store. He was amazed to find out that Michael died and very saddened. Then he bought the Greatest Hits and Elegantly Wasted CDs.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hey, LOTS of topics, so if one doesn't interest you... go on to the next one! 1) Many people asked about what Johnette was currently up to after I mentioned her name as someone who would make a great front-woman for INXS (sorry that the topic has offended so many, but none of this idle speculation was obviously meant in a disrespectful way.) In any case, I just came across the following little snippet: "Ex-Concrete Blonde leader Johnette Napolitano, who also fronted the Warner Bros. act Pretty & Twisted, has signed to Island. The record company will release her eponymous solo debut on April 7." 2) Also, I thought I would mention that the woman working with Ed St. John is subscribed to the List -- so I'm sure she and Mr. St. John are now abundantly aware how displeased all of us are at the "cashing in on Michael"-biography. Funny how she doesn't defend the forthcoming work... :) 3) With regards to the email from Thomm that upset so many people, I would take it with a grain of salt and forget about it. Upon reading his email, I was at first a little taken aback (especially by his naming people in capital letters and then dismantling them.) BUT, I then saw that he is from France, and his English probably isn't as good as ours -- so he came off worse than he was probably intending. 4) Next: www.hutchence.com -- Yes, they are making a donation to UNICEF/Starlight with each order, but NO, they have not told me what percentage. (It was originally only $1 from each order, which they agreed with me in saying was too low and needed to be "re-evaluated.") Whether you guys want to order merchandise from them or not is your decision, but in addition to the murkiness over the charity donation, there is also the issue of the exorbitant price of the Tshirts/sweatshirts offered. Personally, I'm staying away from there... 5) Tribute website -- I think inxs-list.com (the impending new home of the List) will make a fine place to host the tribute website...

Karen kgerard@css.edu Date: Thu, 18 Dec 1997 07:04:30 -1750 From: Bruno Andrighetto To: INXS List Subject: [INXS] Aussie music magazines Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Both major Australian music magazines released their "Yearbooks" this week, and both feature articles about Michael. These mags have not been that supportive of INXS lately, but I thought you should know about them. The Rolling Stone feature runs to 8 pages with several photos. The main article appears rushed, since it contains a couple of factual errors (at least on my reading). But they do devote the whole cover to a photo of Michael. There's also an edited interview with Tim that was written before Nov 22. The feature in Juice is 5 pages long, and was written by its editor, Toby Creswell, a highly respected music journalist. Apparently there will be a more extensive feature on Michael's life and music in the next regular issue. The editorial (also by Toby C) is a pretty good personal tribute, so I'll type it up and post it soon. I have mixed feelings about these magazines. Why did it take Michael's death for them to show him and INXS the respect they deserve? Cheers, Bruno A.

They said the interview was conducted not to "cash in" on Michaels death, but to give their side of the story, and to address the gutter press that had surfaced. The interviewer asked Kell about the women in Michaels life, and his face positively lit up when talking of Kylie and Helena (especially Kylie), but his face changed dramatically when mentioning Paula. Kell just said something along the lines of the trouble caused by Bob Geldof made their lives difficult. Kell was delighted (if that's the right way to explain it??) when both Kylie and Helena flew in especially for the funeral, and stayed at chatted with him after the wake. Easy to see where Michael got his charm, that's for sure. When asked about Paula, Rhett quickly (and very cleverly) changed the subject. From the interview, it is very clear that Michael was adored by his family. I feel 'better' for being able to see Michaels family, and let them explain the situation, not the bad media reports that we are all seeing. The interview (along with the funeral) has helped bring some sort of closure to this terrible ordeal. Although, he (MH) will never be far from my heart, I can only now get on with the idea of living. Living happier for having Michael touch my life in some small way through his music and life.

I was kinda hoping Bono would make some mention of MH during the show. I was kind of let down when he said he was dedicating the song to Kurt. well, u2 hasn't been to seattle for many years so maybe this was his chance. the end of the concert was near and i was feeling more and more sad at the thought of INXS never gracing any stage again. Never seeing MH on stage again except in my memories. U2 finished their show with 40. I felt so let down, no mention of MH. moments later with the lights still out they had Never Tear Us Apart blasting on the speakers in the Kingdome. I lost it. I had tears streaming down my face.

In an interview on Australian TV also reported in English tabloid daily The Sun today Thursday (December 18), the retired businessman said Geldof had embarked on a vendetta towards the 37-year-old INXS star (pictured right) and his partner Paula Yates - formerly married to Geldof. "He made their lives miserable. It's like he was on a vendetta - to get them. And that's really the truth of it. He created extraordinary situations and I think contributed very much to what happened," said Hutchence senior. He confirmed that Michael had a heated row over the phone from Australia with Geldof in England just hours before he died. Geldof had refused to allow his daughters - Fifi Trixibelle (14), Peaches (8) and Pixie (7) - to travel to Australia with their mother to accompany Michael on INXS's 20th anniversary tour which was due to commence just days after the singer was found hanged in his Sydney hotel room. Yates and Geldof have been embroiled in an ill-tempered custody battle over the children for the last two-and-a-half years.2 "Those kids, Pixie and Peaches, loved Michael so much. And he wasn't trying to take the children away from their father," Kelland said. He also added he was unsure about his son's impending wedding plans, saying Michael had told him that media reports of his impending marriage to Yates were simply rumours. He also refuted as "rubbish" any suggestions that the singer's death was the result of sexual misadventure, but admitted his son's propensity for the wild: "He was a bit in excess himself, you know," he said. Kelland stated he believes his son's death was "some kind of accident.' A coroner's report is due in February. Meanwhile, the members of INXS have issued two statements through their management. The first warns friends and colleagues of the band that no INXS books have been authorised - although there are said to be several in the pipeline already. The second has re-iterated that INXS are not auditioning for a new singer and have no plans for any touring or recording.

I stayed up to all hours of the morning when U2 had the concert on Showtime from Mexico City. I picked up on at least 3 or 4 Michael references during that show...including the obvious dedications of One and Wake Up Dead Man during the final encore. I popped Listen Like Thieves into the car stereo for the first time yesterday. I had to force myself to do it. I've been having trouble getting to sleep the past few nights - thoughts just running through my head - so I figured I might as well give it a try -listening to Michael's voice that is. It was eery. This is gonna sound a bit odd - but I don't know how else to explain it. I keep flip flopping and my emotions are all over the place with all of this still. Listening to Michael - I had the feeling of how unreal this all is. A month ago there was this incredible person in the world somewhere, and now - its like some created a cartoon character - All that is left is images on film and recordings of a voice. I've even reached the point that the fact that he was cremated disturbs me. (Here is the morbid stuff) There isn't even a body left behind. There isn't even a grave. All traces of his mortal self are gone. The thought that this man is no longer on the planet haunts me. Listening to the tape I broke out in tears. I love music, all kinds. But if there was one artist - person who was most important to me - it was Michael. I kept thinking - out of EVERYONE in the world, all the singers, musicians, EVERYONE - why did it have to be him. The one person, who I can't even begin to explain what it meant to have him around, why him? I could be sad for anyone else, but for Michael I am devistated. What kills me is you know he'd take it back if he could. Still not ready to believe this is all really happening... Karen S.

This may make you'all(and the band) angry but I have been thinking that since the unauthorized bios are going to be written anyway, the only way to set the record straight is for the band and MH's family to choose a biographer and have a official bio written in a fair balanced manner. This would be along the same lines as the interview that the guys did and at a time that feels right. Then, if it was me, I would make sure everyone knew that an Official Bio was on it's way to cut down on the sales of the sleazy ones. I know that is why the family of Selena agreed to the movie on her life, they got input and kept it from becoming sleazy. I imagine that there are movie ideas being kicked around also and again I would try to be involved and make an official one. As for profits, it could be given to charity or to Tiger's trust fund, or a little to both. This is my opinion, I am very concerned that these unauthorized bios are going to ignore the sweet\shy\family man that MH was, along with the sexy\talented performer and make him into a drug and sex-crazed monster to sell books.

Heh -- couldn't have said that better myself. But, to be true to Hindu philosophy, it should also be noted that the ability to merge one's soul with the oneness of the universe is pretty much restricted to the holy of the holy (the really devout gurus and sages.) Of course, Hinduism believes that "God is one, People call him by different names" -- so if you are a holy Christian, or a holy Muslim, and live your faith to the best of your ability, you will also achieve oneness. Michael... Heh.

Farley was found dead in a friend’s condominium apartment, and was believed to have suffered a heart attack, according to Chicago Fire Department officials. Farley was an alumnus of Second City, the famed improvisational troupe based in Chicago, where he developed anguished characters. His career blossomed on television’s Saturday Night Live, and his physical comedy and manic behavior drew comparisons to the late John Belushi. Among his characterizations were the inept and overweight motivational speaker Hank Foley and that of a devoted but extremely unhealthy Chicago Bears football fan. Farley and David Spade branched out from the television show to star in movies. Farley most recently starred in “Beverly Hills Ninja,” and also had leading roles in “Tommy Boy” and “Black Sheep.” ------------------------ http://wwp.mirabilis.com/2340298 ------------------------ "Some silken moment Goes on forever And we're leaving broken hearts behind" -Mystify ------------------------ Michael Kelland Frank Hutchence January 22, 1960 - November 22, 1997 "shadow of light in the shadow of death" -Biting Bullets ------------------------ "And I imagine you're standing here It's subliminal so inspirational Man of the world for all the good reasons Take away the pain and drink the wine" -I Send A Message Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997 00:49:40 +0100 From: "thomm" To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] french fan X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by majordomo.iastate.edu id RAA15398 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu hi to everyone! first of all my name is not thomm this is my boyfriend's adress.so i'll give youmy adress:graziellatrimboli@minitel.net so please if you answer on the list sendyour message to graziella or email me at my private adress well apparently my message made all of you very angry!i believe everyone is free to have his opinion & i admit i was abit aggerssive but when i read your messages it seems to me you 've all accepted michael's death all right buti just can't do it im devasted by hisdeath and i canteven listen to one of inxs songs since this horrible tragedythat's why i can't accept thi idea oflistening mike's songs sung by others!!! i'mtrying to accept his death that's allof course i agree the band must continuedid i ever say the contrary?? they'regood musicians but to me inxs is dead!if they want to sing ok but i hope they'll change the name!you're all saying to me that you've never talked about replacung himreally?i saw the verb TO REPLACE severaltimes?then what does it mean?by the way my english is good for thosewho think that as a french i cant express myself properly!maybe its not perfectbut i fully understand the meaning of each word i'm using!!a word to ricky watcham:thanxs for yoursincerity but please dont try to tell methat as i've not been a fan for 10 yearsi can' t understand by the way what doesyour sentence mean?? last thing:AMY LYNNE could you give meyour address? thanxs to you!see you very soonXXXX Date: Thu, 18 Dec 1997 18:53:52 -0500 (EST) X-Sender: rbb@mail.baradv.on.ca To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: rbb@baradv.on.ca (Richard Blanchard) Subject: RE: [INXS] Inxs Interview on BBC Web Page Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi The first INXS interview since Michael's death is available for listening on the BBC web page.

Sorry for the long absence from the list, I've been in between addresses this month. My two cents: 1) Having just seen an in-depth special on Michael on television, I find the notion of even considering a new member of the band or continuing the music is FAR too early at this point and is borderline nauseating. Sure, the 5 guys will get over this in time, but IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME. For the life of me I can't understand all the speculation on who will sing "Never Tear Us Apart" now that Michael's gone. Hold your horses, everyone. It is the 18th of December. Soon it will be the 22nd. THIS should be our consideration at this point. As always, sorry if I've offended anyone, please e-mail me privately at jrawding@is2.dal.ca if you have any concerns with what I've just said. 2) Comedian Chris Farley is just the latest in way too many deaths this year in the public eye (Although I've never seen his movies, I thought he was quite funny on Saturday Night Live). Am I correct in assuming there have been enough deaths this year to last a lifetime? 3) Does anyone know why the coroner results will not be back until February? It takes less time to find a needle in a haystack! 4) I've been going through old magazines lately, trying to find all my old INXS articles and clippings. I've already come across approximately 30 issues. I'm going to put together a scrapbook. If anyone out there know any back issues of magazines with INXS material, could they e-mail me at jrawding@is2.dal.ca? I could look for these issues in used book and magazine stores and continue making a scrapbook which right now has the potential to be really neat.

The following links have never been posted to the list (by me) so I figured I'd send them along. Mostly, these pages are pages that have been around for a while but added a page for Michael - but there are a few new sites, one with an MTV boycott as well as one in French and one is either German or Dutch - I'm not sure yet and am waiting on a reply from the author. As always, you can find the complete list at : http://web.wt.net/~stazya/stazya/tribute_pages.html Martin's Tribute Page http://www.megatoon.ca/~reoleo/ * A French site with lots of personal photos. Martin has kindly added an english translation for those of us who don't speak French. All the photos were taken on this last tour. Cristy's Tribute Page http://www.nwlink.com/~skywalkr/music/inxs.html * A poingant letter to Michael and an invitation to talk with Cristy in Neil's chat room. Kadi's Tribute Page http://members.tripod.com/~AlternaFreak/inxs.html * Features links to other sites and more of JAV's personal photos. Mouse's Tribute Page http://www.he.net/~mousel/inxs.html * Features links to other sites. Lindsey's Tribute Page http://members.aol.com/stargddess/micheal.html * Features a messageboard for people to leave their own tributes. Sue's Tribute Page http://www.mdc.net/~sue/inxs.htm * In collecting all these new tribute sites, I forgot all about the ones that have always been dedicated to INXS. Sue's page has always been around. It contains lots of pictures of the band both personal and promotional. And now, unfortunately, it's dedicated to the memory of Michael. Darren's Tribute Page http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/5415/ * "This site is a dedication to a man who filled so many lives with his music, friendship and charisma." Darren is one of those fans who somehow found the strength to put together a full service website this past year entitled Always INXS. James' Tribute Page http://www.netwiz.net/~jhutch/inxs/inxs.html * James' Welcome to INXS has been a monument to INXS' album Welcome to Wherever You Are for quite some time now, but he's been forced to add a new page. "Everyone has something that makes them feel better about life, and I would have to say that their music brought a lot of love and joy to my life. " Danilo's Tribute Page http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/7790/ * "Thanks for all, Michael. We'll miss you." Danilo started his Elegantly INXS page in May and it's been growing ever since. Like so many of the other INXS sites out there, it's been dedicated to Michael. Kimberly's Tribute Page http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2094/ * This tribute page been around for over a year and a half and it is totally dedicated to Michael. It hasn't been updated. There's no word of his death, no outpouring of grief. The page captures the love Michael inspired long before the tragic events of today - and I hope it continues that way. Betty's Tribute Page http://members.aol.com/ruckyducky/pubpage.htm * Betty pays homage to Michael through her own personal story - one that many INXS fans will identify with and mixed in is a little bit of anger at the way his death is being ignored. When you visit this page, borrow the graphic and join in her struggle against MTV. I did. Suz's Tribute Page http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/4698/ * The archives to Suz's old INXS pages, this contains links to pictures, articles and an itinerary from the funeral and has a place to leave your memories. Someone's Tribute Page http://friko2.onet.pl/tg/xnonek * This page is either in German or dutch (I think) and contains many photos - and personal testimony from what I can tell :) Stazya http://web.wt.net/~stazya/ "Takes a second for your world to change" -- Michael Hutchence From: JMussry Date: Thu, 18 Dec 1997 23:00:51 EST To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] :-) News :-) Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu My sister, who is an aspiring actress, was doing some extra work on the set of 'Friends' today here in Los Angeles called me at work to put a big smile on my face.

Anyway, I was hoping that you could send this along, add it to the list with the other tributes, or post it on the board, whatever. Thank you. Don't change, you said, and I pleaded from the front row. You nodded and I jumped to join you, clung to your slinky spine. No one will know what that meant to me, 21 and American, kissed by my hero. Feral and ethereal, you were my flesh and air icon. I need my faith in you now, to overcome this accident. This confusion dishonors you, Michael, the reward of your charisma. A box held my idol on live TV, he wore royal velvet irises and his child's bright sweet namesake. It was Thanksgiving in New York, the floats were torn and blown into streetlights; your six brothers held you high, as always, I wanted you to tear away from them, drop the other shoe, the punchline, give us your smile again. (You and The Cat in the Hat, Michael, held to the ground by men dressed for your last performance, you both lost control. ) I dedicate this drink and its successors to you, perfectly flawed and floating. These ugly emotions tied to that box, Michael, the anger, guilt, confusion keeping you so close, only hope can neon through their dark strings. You do live, still, in air, like Shelley, in the artist's eternity. And here, in my words too, the triumph of life that sets you loose, free, bleaches that darkness with the truth of future faith and love. Thank you for that dance, for your life, your words, and rest now, gentle man, rest now. Thank you, Mary- it would really make me feel better to share my thoughts with others.

The statement followed a weekend report in the Sydney Sun Herald newspaper that the band is auditioning for a replacement for singer Michael Hutchence, who died Nov. 22. "They have made no other plans other than to take a big break," adds the statement. According to guitarist Tim Farriss, Hutchence would have wanted his work to remain public, "and we'll do our damnedest to make sure it happens." Mercury is to issue "Searching" from the "Elegantly Wasted" album as the next INXS single, as planned. It was written by Hutchence as a love song to his partner, U.K. TV personality Paula Yates. INXS yesterday also released its interview with TV host George Negus, in which the band paid tribute to Hutchence and attacked those "who hardly knew him at all" yet sold their stories about him to the media.

This is the only place I can explain how confused I am, so I'm sorry for bothering you with my mad rantings, but its like I just can't enjoy anything, I can't see past Michaels death or think of anything else; its every spare moment I have. When I manage to get to sleep if I wake up in the middle of the night I'm already thinking about it and I can't go back to sleep. Everywhere I go something reminds me of when I was happy, everything reminds me of a time when I thought about INXS. Its like everyone has something in life, its like the other night I was talking to a mad X-files fan, he even knew the numbers of the episodes and he said "everyone has something in life" and I thought I don't now. The other thing I loved in life died a few years back and I've never seen past their death, but I had to accept it as old age which left me with some acceptance, but I still wind myself up every so often, when I think of them I see them die, not any of the other things. You'd think I was stupid if you knew I was talking about Rabbits here, but I had them 9 years, they always ran to me for a cuddle, they ran round the house like family members and it was so sweet when they'd come to the back door for you to let them in and jump in chair and natter for chocolate biscuit; but I remeber holding them as they died. Now the other thing that I loved has gone and I can't work out why it goes round my head like a puzzle I can't solve and I come up with different solutions. I've never been into many things and spread myself out so that losing one would be OK, I'm 110% into something or not bothered at all. The thing that hurts me most in my puzzle sounds mad when I'm thinking rationally, but I go round in cycles and somedays I'm really bad and others I can cope. The first week after it happened I wasn't so bad and then later everything that day came back to me and it haunts me. I can hardly go home sometimes as I always used to rush home to fit in listening to INXS, now I can't start my evening so I get nothing done. Anyway if anyone got this far this is what I can't work out: OK I admit I'm a habit forming person always have been, I just get something in my head and then I repeat just in case something happens if I don't (stupid I know, but I can think somthings stupid and still do it anyway, until it gets right on my nerves). I had got this habit about thinking about INXS that they were OK and then I felt fine with my world. I don't know why but this fateful day I had this strong urge that this habit was stupid and they decided their own lives and didn't need me to think about them. Which is true. As I went to bed that night a thought came through my head "what about INXS", but I thought "whats going to happen, there always alright, their grown men they can look after themselves". Instead of leaving it like that I got angry for some reason, I wasn't feeling and I was under pressure to perform well in a race the next day, my thoughts went something like "why are you worrying about them, you've got enough problems of your own" and seeing as I had a really bad throat infection I thought " you can hardly breath as it is and your worrying about them, just go to sleep". Given the nature of the way Michael died that really bothers me, but I thought "everything 'll be alright in the morning you'll see, it 'll all still be there". The fact that when I left my room that afternoon I looked back and I'd had pretty much the same thought thinking "it'll all still be here when you get back on sunday, don't worry" is the only thing that helps clear my consience at bit as I think I already felt it. The thing is alot of you had have said that its possible to feel things and I just wondered if I'd thought about INXS so much when I got angry like that could they feel that, could it have given Michael the feeling nobody cares anyway, they don't need me, they'll be alright on their own. Its just what made Michael flip and do that, its not like he did it directly after the arguement with geldof. It just co-insides so closely with when I got angry, I think I didn't mean anything by it, but is that an excuse, I shouldn't have thought about them so strongly if I was just going to pull out like that. I know Michael would already have to be deeply perturbed, but what was the last straw, what made him flip. I felt my thoughts so strongly I sometimes feel like a got a choice and I mentally binned everything and Michael binned everything literally. Its just too much of a coincidence the night I sod it, Michael dies and everything is destroyed and I can't get it out of my head. I'm sure if I'd been at home I wouldn't have done that and everything would be fine. I tell myself you left it to his decision thinking they can look after themselves, but it wasn'y exactly a proper decision if your full of antidepressants and alcohol. Its like not getting angry like that and this wouldn't have happened; it doesn't feel like it should have, its like were on the wrong time line. I know there's nothing you can say to me to put this right, I'm always going to remeber the night I cast them angrily from my thoughts Michael died. Thats why I always continue habits I pick up just so nothing bad happens and I broke one and it did. I'd just had a really strong compulsion that evening that they didn't need my to follow my habits. I'm amazed if anyone got this far, I just can't cope with the fact that I deserted them that night after so many times of thinking good about them and Michael died, I just don't know what pushed him over the edge. i think things like if that court case hadn't been ajorned he'd still be here.

I'm feeling alright am the moment, but I know it'll come back later it always does. It annoys me its people like us fans that only wanted the best for the band end up beating ourselves up like this and the people that made all the nasty comments and chased Michael and Paula around just walk away not caring what has happened. All I ever wanted was INXS to have as much sucess as possible and for the guys to be happy. It was like my happy day dream that they were somewhere in the world enjoying themselves and could get up on stage at any time and utterly kick ass. I've never read papers so could have no idea what was going on in Michaels life, I might hear snippets months later, but thats not what I wanted I could just listen to an album and just get so much energy from it and be happy with the thought that INXS are the best. What exactly they were doing at the time didn't seem any concern of mine as long as they were happy. It seems silly I thought of stuff I had to do that night cause now I don't care about stuff now, I'd have been better off worrying about INXS and my stuff would have taken care of itself as I got most of my motivation from listening to INXS. Anyway I'm starting to bust to hear Shabbooh Shoobah again I just hope I can rember the right things and not feel guilty for listening when I cast them from my mind.

It really affected me and after I woke up I began to cry and was unable to get back to sleep. I knew I had to tell all of you about it. Some of you had posted your feelings about how you were having a hard time coping with the fact that there was no physical gravesite and the like. I, myself, had not been disturbed by that fact. I did not relize how much I was moved by those few postings about that, until now. As freaky as it sounds, I think the dream I had last night was a message for those of you struggling with that issue. This dream was fairly lengthy. Just toward the end however I was in a gathering of people and knew that Michael Hutchence was there. Since, I did not know him I wasn't talking to him...just aware that he was there and having a good time...laughing, smiling. I left this place and headed toward home. When I turned around and looked back I caught a glimpse of a special news report on TV about how Muichael Hutchence was gone. I stared in disbelief at the tv. "I was just there" I kept thinking. They were interviewing a fan who was sitting on a park bench, who was obviously very saddenned. Behind this bench was a small hill, green in color covered by hundreds of small tributes (poems, flowers, etc.). They were on the bench as well. I noticed these tributes were arranged so that they were like headstones of sorts.In the background I heard the words to a song by Jewel..."These foolish games, are tearing me apart...and your thoughtless words are breaking my heart..." I don't know why I heard this as I am not a big fan of her's. Just know that it was playing. As I watched I realized that when I was ready to say "good-bye" that I would not have to go far to do so...but that hundreds have already done so. After this dream I feel that when we are ready to say our "good-byes" that we DO have a "place" to go to...it is within each of us. It is in our thoughts and our experiences, our "tributes", if you will, of this person whom most of us didn't know personally but whom affected us nonetheless. That when we are ready, it will be close by....but created and supported by all of us. I guess it seems strange, but I can't help but keep thinking of the lyrics of this country song by Garth Brooks...called "The Dance." It's weird because I hate country and it's the only country song I like because the lyrics are so beautiful. I feel like they express how I feel right now about this. "Looking back, on the memory of...the dance we shared, `neath the stars above And for a moment....all the world was right But how could I have known, that you'd ever say good-bye And I....I'm glad I didn't know, the way it all would end, the way it all would go... Our lives are better left to chance. I could've missed the pain...but I'd have to of missed, the dance." I'm glad I didn't miss the "dance" that was INXS...:`( Angela Sorry this was so long...

It is still difficult to believe he is really gone. Last night, I remembered something my mom has always said, "Everything happens for a reason." Think about it: It took the death of Rock Hudson for the world to wake up to the ravages of AIDS; It took the death of Gianni Versace to capture a serial killer; It took the death of Princess Diana to finally get some discussions going (and possible legislature) on the invasiveness of the tabloid "press". Perhaps the death of a celebrity of Michael's magnitude (and let's face it -- he was a major celebrity in Australia and the UK) will make the world take a closer look at the widespread use of Prozac. While I am sad about the loss of such a wonderful soul, I feel privileged that we all were able to experience "The Gift" he gave all of us through his music. We all know the gift he gave is gonna last forever. ~*~ Donna ~*~ Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997 10:22:34 -0600 From: Kozak To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] A place to say good-bye Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Thank you, I think we all needed that.

The record, featuring 10 tracks, was financed by the INXS frontman and his manager is currently negotiating a record deal for it. Former Gang of Four member, Andy Gill produced the material. He told THE NET it's very different from INXS: "There's a deeper, richer kind of feel, kind of cinematic...wide quality to it. It isn't kind of very up pop songs - it's more mid-tempo and there's a sort of darker feel to it. Lyrically it's fairly autobiographical but it isn't a bunch of pop songs. It is kind of a mature record". Andy says the events of the last year had taken their toll on Michael: "The way the media had treated and Paula had gotten him down and he always put a very brave face on it...privately it hurt. The ever-ongoing problems between Bob Geldof and Paula and the ongoing legal battles concerning the children had really ground him down. He was a resilient character, a fun-loving guy and he enjoyed life". X-Originating-IP: [206.190.31.254] From: "Donna Driscoll" To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Just a Thought . . . .

Thomm Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Okay, okay... In the spirit of Christmas and all, I'll take it easy here. First of all, yes the subject line did read replacement, but no one was trying to replace Michael. Everyone on here knows he is irreplaceable. They were talking, they were having ideas, they were working through their grief in their own way, do not judge them for that. Secondly, you guys call Ricky pretentious when you say they should not carry on as INXS. Excuse me, but that is their name, that is what they have been doing for 20 years and it is theirs. If they choose to continue on as INXS, that is their choice and not your place to tell them they cannot do so. I loved Michael, too. I miss his presence like crazy, but Michael was NOT INXS. There are 5 other members of this band. And I take offence for Ricky, who I know personally to be a real nice guy. Lastly, we are all grieving in different ways. This list has been around for a long time. There are friendships that have developed on here, we are like a family. We have our disagreements and we get over it. I suggest you guys try to do this. We are here for each other and if you give it a chance, we can all help each other to get through this. > but when i read > your messages it seems to me you 've all accepted michael's death all right > And no, we haven't ALL accepted Michael's death all right. We are all still hurting. Some more than others. Do not judge them for that. Working through grief is a personal thing, our lives did not end as Michael's did and he would not want us to quit living because of his death. Celebrate his life, honour his life, accept his gift. That is what he would want and no one is more or less devoted to him because of the way they handle their grief. > buti just can't do it im devasted by hisdeath and i canteven listen to one > of inxs songs since this horrible tragedythat's why i can't accept thi idea > oflistening mike's songs sung by others!!! i'mtrying to accept his death > that's allof course i agree the band must continuedid i ever say the > contrary?? they'regood musicians but to me inxs is dead!if they want to sing > ok but i hope they'll change the name! > And yes, you contradict yourself right here.

There's a lot of people listed in these pages - most of them were over the age of 60 and some were way into their 90's. There are 4 however that are not - they are 24, 37, 49 & 53. All of them were singers - B.I.G, Laura Nyro, Michael and John Denver. I suppose if we add Chris Farley to the young crowd - he was only 34 - that throws it really into perspective considering the amount of actors listed - only one died young.

Last weeks INXS Rage special didnt play it, (maybe cuz the band was bout to release it regardless of recent events). Take care everyone... OH in regards to everyone putting down the people we have lost this year... no one (so far) seems to mention Dodi Al Fayed - since he was right next to Princess Diana, I just think he was part of Di's life, therefore it should get a mention. Next year will be better and it will bring new, exciting, unknown things into our lives... I bet Michael cant wait to see what happens! I love how Kelland Hutchence said, in his Today Tonights interview, "Michael is probably chasing Princess Diana ;)" now is that Michael! Lucky with the ladies here, and going to be lucky with the ladies where ever he is now! Merry X'mas. Happy New Year everyone, everywhere.

(Juice is among other things, a national music magazine) Bruno A. ------------------------------ Editor's Letter (by Toby Creswell) MICHAEL HUTCHENCE 1960-1997 This afternoon I watched Michael Hutchence's casket carried out of a cathedral, but I can't believe that he is dead. As I type this, the X album pounds through the deserted office and the voice that lilts above the melody is so full of life it sounds impossible to silence. Hutchence was born to be a rock & roll star. His charisma was a natural gift, but he worked at it as well. He was like a witch doctor who wanted to keep up with the latest trends in voodoo becuase he wanted to have the most power, he wanted the best magic. Over the past dozen years our paths crossed in bars, restaurants and dressing rooms and it was impossible not to be seduced by Michael's charm, his openness and vulnerability, his soft, sometimes mumbled speaking voice. Hutchence wore his speech impediment like a sort of exotic scar. INXS were one of Australia's most successful acts not because the Kick album sold nine million copies but because for 20 years they performed and recorded their own music and entertained people. It is one thing for an artist to produce work that fits within its time, but more often than not they burn brightly and then disappear. To be able to sustain the muse, that's a hard trick. Think how many other artists have done it. In their time together, INXS made some extraordinary music - songs from The Swing still burn 15 years later, while Kick was a national triumph. In those days the media, which later turned on INXS, reported their world tour like dispatches from the front as Caesar conquered Gaul. When they returned home they were hailed in the same way as a conquering army. The INXS performance that I saw at the ABC studios in January this year was as good as any other rock & roll show I have seen this year, maybe better. Over 12 years things change. One principal memory of an INXS gig in Albury was the aftershow, where the group found the best bar and then monopolised it until well after closing time. INXS has always had a great sense of fun about it. The sound of INXS was an heroic optimism, and Michael's lyrics repeatedly reiterated his belief that by taking action things would get better, that by grasping life with both hands and giving it a shake you could make some sense of it. Back in 1988/9, when I was going through a deep crisis, I'd tend to crank up a few tracks on the stereo that would get me through the night. One of them was "Tiny Daggers" - "Please try to remember/The door is always there/Don't you walk on by/The door is always there/All you want to do is kick it in/All you got to do is walk right in." It's not the most profound lyric ever written but I heard in its delivery a man whispering hope, promising that there would be excitement, pain, surprises and adventure down the track, and that no matter how hopeless and desperate it seemed, life was worth living. For that and 50 other songs I am indebted to Michael Hutchence. I'm proud to be able to say that I knew him, that we hung out a couple of times. I can't believe I won't see him again. I keep remembering his usual parting phrase, "Peace."

Bruno A. -------------------------------- Rest in Peace Michael Hutchence (by Robert Dunstan) Those involved in the music industry, along with many, many other people, were shocked to hear of the discovery of the body of the charismatic INXS singer Michael Hutchence in his Sydney hotel room last Saturday morning. The band were in the midst of preparing for an extensive Australian tour - their first for several years - which followed the release of their latest album Elegantly Wasted and a successful year spent touring the US and headlining the European rock festival circuit. Michael Hutchence was born in Hong Kong on 1960 to Australian parents, and INXS (originally known as The Farriss Brothers) formed in Sydney before moving to Perth in the late '70s. Slowly but surely, the band built a strong following in Australia with much touring and the albums Shabooh Shoobah, The Swing and Listen Like Thieves before very successfully tackling overseas markets. By the mid-80s the group, whose members remained consistent throughout their lengthy career, were international superstars and sold out Wembley Stadium during their '88 European tour. And while INXS' popularity may have waned in recent times, they had recently completed another successful US tour. Michael Hutchence also enjoyed some fame as an actor - he appeared in the 1986 cult movie Dogs In Space (a song from the film, Rooms For The Memory, saw the singer enjoy a Top 10 solo hit) and also as Percy Shelley in Roger German's Frank- enstein Unbound in the early '90s. Michael, who was just about to commence work on a new film, also had a series of much publicised dalliances with pop diva Kylie Minogue and various supermodels, but recently 'settled down' with British TV presenter Paula Yates (former wife of Band Aid's Bob Geldof) and the couple have sired a child. I'd first seen INXS in the early '80s around the time Shabooh Shoobah was released - I'd paid $5 to see 'em play The Old Lion Hotel after (frequently) hearing Underneath The Colours on SA.FM! - and already they were a band full of confidence with a rock'n'roll swagger not unlike that of The Rolling Stones. A new song, Don't Change, was a highlight and I also recall buying an INXS t-shirt (Whenever I wore it, people would say 'INXS! Never heard of 'em' to which I'd quickly reply, 'ah, but you will.') I also saw the band play an Adelaide Uni Orientation Ball in the mid-80s, and their performance, which concluded with a staggeringly great Don't Change, still remains strong in my rock'n'roll memory, as does (very briefly) meeting Hutchence at Sydney's infamous punk venue, the Hopetoun Hotel, just over a decade ago. The band were last in Adelaide several years ago and played one of it's 'tin sheds' at Wayville Showgrounds just prior to the second Big Day Out to be held in this town. It was a gig marred by poor sound due to the venue's inferior acoustics, but there was no doubting that INXS were still one of THE great rock'n'roll bands, and there was also much anticipation about their current Lose Your Head Tour which would have celebrated the band's 20th anniversary. "Yeah, course we are, absolutely," INXS bass player Garry Gary Beers had said during a recent phone interview when asked if the band were excited about their upcoming tour. "It's been five or six years since a big Australian tour. We can't wait." "The interest is still strong," he'd also said of their recent sell out US tour. "We'd had a break from touring America and weren't too sure... But I think they must've missed us because it all went really well." INXS had been doing some promo acoustic gigs recently, and an acoustic section was to be part of their live set. "And it's pretty much ended up being an INXS greatest hits tour rather than just a promotion of the new album," Garry had declared. "But it makes it more enjoyable for us as well. "The bottom line is we all love what we do," he'd concluded. "It's been 20 years now, and we're all still great mates and the band seems to be playing better than ever." Rest In Peace Michael Hutchence - and thanks for the many, many fond memories.

Just to cheer you up for listening to my ramblings I had a dream last night, probably based on a day dream I have, where Michael isn't dead but he gone to live a quiet live in outback Australia and is watching his kids grow up. Anyway the dream went, that I went to this island and there was a big house there. Michael was living in the house all on his own and he was really pleased to have a visitor as he was a bit bored. His friends and family could only visit every so often as he was hiddening there in secret and they couldn't just disappear and or people might notice. Its strange I wasn't surprised to find him and ask him what he was doing here and he didn't start swearing me to secrecy; he was just really pleased to have a guest and got some food out and had a chat. Nobody had been for a while, but he was hoping maybe in the next couple of weeks the kids would come. Anyway dreams wander and thats it. If you've seen the Time video he was dressed and looked just like that and looked fit and well. Actually I don't think hes every popped up in one of my dreams before.

Cheers, Bruno A. ----------------------------------- dB Magazine, Dec 3 1997 Remembering Michael (by Stuart Coupe) There are some things you just don't expect. Even when you've spent the best part of your life around the rock 'n'roll scene, a game that thrives on surprises and unpredictability, there are still those timely reminders that the conjurer of life still has a few little tricks up his or her sleeve. The death of Michael Hutchence was one of those tricks. Over the years, usually when all sense of reality has long passed, I've played predictable games with friends. You know, "who's going to be the next rock star to die?" kinda thing. Invariably names like Keith Richard, Keith Richard, and Keith Richard have been mentioned. No-one ever mentioned John Denver ... and to the best of my knowledge no-one ever dropped the name Michael Hutchence. Hutchence was a natural match with the words "excessive", "party hound", "rock'n'roll lifestyle" and so forth, but no-one I know ever imagined his imminent death - and certainly the way it appears to have happened. You see, over the years you get a bit of a fix on people. There are loads of rock'n'roll artists (and, I guess, people in general) that very obviously have a death wish. They'll party and abuse themselves to a point where no-ones going to be surprised to hear that they've died. Hutchence never appeared like that. Sure, he obviously lived, at least on the surface of things, for the moment, but that doesn't necessarily equate with a self-destructive slant on life. By his own admission there were periods when Hutchence probably considered himself lucky to wake up in the morning. I know that feeling too. But the difference between a self-destructo and a fun loving person on the excessive side is that, regardless of what condition you were in ten hours before, you desperately want to see the next day because of the realisation, no matter how hazy, that not doing so is such a waste - and the deeply ingrained aware- ness of what it would mean to those who love and care for and about you. And also, as far as I'm aware, no-one has guaranteed a CD player, music library and stacked mini-bar in heaven. I wouldn't be presumptuous or arrogant enough to speculate on Hutchence's state of mind in the hours before his death. Certainly I met him many, many times over the years but we hadn't spoken during this decade and, whilst friendly, our interaction was simply one of rock performer and journalist. In fact, particularly during my tenure at Dolly magazine, my relationship with INXS was often strained as I wasn't a fan of most of what they did and really only cottoned on to them around 'Listen Like Thieves' and 'Kick' time. Still, whenever I met up with Hutchence - be it at sound-check at the Hordern Pavilion, at record company offices or a couple of times late at night at Benny's in the Cross - he was never less than extremely friendly, affable and warm. Who knows what sort of person he developed into over the last decade but, like most people, I skim the music press and whilst it was obvious that INXS's career was on the wane there was no hint in the media that he was on a suicidal, self-destructive path. There was the solo album talk, the relationship with Paula Yates, the new baby and, hey, a bank balance that meant he really didn't need to lift a finger for the rest of his life. But when did you last hear of a really creative individual who wanted to do nothing for the rest of their lives? Hutchence always seemed like the type of person who was in for the long haul, someone who was too smart to not want to pursue activities that excited and inspired him. Chances are that this would've been INXS's last tour and album but that certainly didn't appear to signify the end of Hutchence's creative life - exactly the same way that it was hard to imagine the other band members disappearing from the music scene forever. So, to state the obvious, it was a shock to get a call on Saturday afternoon from a Sydney Telegraph journalist asking for a quote on Hutchence's death. What death? What happened? Certainly I was shocked - who wouldn't be? But the fundamental question was not 'how' (which seems the current media preoccupation) but 'why'? As I write this the chances are that we'll never know exactly what provoked Hutchence's actions. The commonly accepted cause of death is suicide, but already there's so much speculation about other causes with the English tabloids going nuts about auto-eroticism, and what may have prompted his actions. A call from Yates? The court actions with Geldof? A waning band career? too much or not enough Prozac? Too many drinks? Ultimately, aside from a morbid curiousity, I couldn't care less. And whether I personally liked the band or not means shit to a tree. The facts are simple - as I write this the world has lost a charismatic singer, songwriter, performer and personality. In this day and age where pressures are so great on people to become bland automatons and conform to the rigidity of what is expected, it's reassuring to know that there are still people out there who know what the words 'individual', 'on my own terms' and 'vision' mean - and, more importantly, act on them. Michael Hutchence is dead. It's sad. It's tragic. But let's not romanticise. He was a charismatic performer, a fine singer and, from my relatively limited experience, an extremely nice person who coped with lifein this world to the best of his capabilities and in the ways that he thought most appropriate. He was an individual in the true sense of the word. Spare us the tribute albums and let's not get carried away with lionisation. Listen to the great moments of rock'n'roll that he was a crucial component of creating and say thanks for the memories. And, for better or worse, remember that the world can still surprise. It's a shame that it often takes the worst of situations to remind us all of that.

I think that if he did have a tumour that his family would have known and they would have responded to it in their interviews. Maybe, maybe not! This would be a much nicer reason for all of us to believe why Michael took his life other than, kinky sex act, drugs, prozax, planned, ageing rock star blues (thanks to those stupid twits from Oasis- puke,vomit), etc.... but the british press (no offence to those fans in the UK) has done enough ranting and raving about Michael so until something a little more official comes out.... I'll just sit here and know that he is gone regardless of reasons. I think Andrew Farriss put it best... when someone you love dies, you may think of the why's but all you truly know is that you have lost someone important to you. That is how Andrew feels bout Michael.. all he really knows (and cares about) is that he has lost a dear friend, brother, co-songwriter. Just my thoughts!

AOL people are having problems getting into the java chats and no > one ever seems to be in the Strangest Party. I disagree -- Sue was right in her post. The most visited site on the Internet, namely Yahoo!, has an *extensive* amount of links and information on INXS. If one was to use their site and then start surfing INXS material, they'd come across a vast amount of information on reaching other fans -- for example, your wonderful site, Staz, is accessible via my web page and from many others. In addition, AOL users having problems with Java chats can always download the latest Netscape or Microsoft browser -- no one's holding a gun to their heads to use the crappy AOL one. I do understand that some users may not be using a computer with a fast processor or much memory, and that such such things as Java are beyond their capability, but I doubt that's the vast majority of Internet users. Though I too don't want the "initial point to get lost," I don't have much patience for laziness either. :) Flame on!

I've been thinking about it for sometime, trying, in a very unbiased way, to assess they're contribution to music. As very dedicated fans it's a bit hard for us to be objective about something like this. But I think I've managed to come to the conclusion that INXS' place will ultimately be that they were Australia's most successful band EVER, they were one of the greatest live acts in the world and defined what a good rock show is all about, and that they were one of the first bands to successfully merge dance music and rock music. Musically the most relevant aspect was the last one above. I'd like to see that interview where the Prodigy apparently noted INXS as being an influence of some sort (it's mentioned in an article on Neil's site). Lyrically INXS, primarily Michael Hutchence, didn't have a reputation for being deep or insightful, and some fans on this list have bought into that, but I think a closer look and many songs reveals a more metaphoric, mysterious, side that requires the listener to reflect and develop their own conclusions. Will INXS be RECOGNIZED for their accomplishments by the mainstream? I doubt it. But when I say that I'm just reflecting the recent apathy toward INXS the media have displayed the last few years.

Kevin from downunder From: "BPRice" To: "INXS Mailing List" , "INXS-List" Subject: [INXS] How do the albums rate? EW=3.5 out of 5 Date: Sun, 21 Dec 1997 02:50:12 -0600 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Yeah, it's me again. As well as pondering INXS' place in history, I've also been meaning to post my ratings of the albums. Rather than rate each on a point scale of some sort (1 to 5), I'm going to rate each album by assessing each of the songs on it and rating the songs on a scale of a Great song, a Near Great song, a Very Good song, a Good/Solid song, and an Average song. Of course, I don't think ANY INXS song is worse than average myself (laugh), so Average is the lowest on this scale. If you wanted to get picky you could say that this was a glorified version of a 1 to 5 scale, and, well, you may be right. But assigning a ranking based on Great, good, etc, helps provide more insight, I think. A few will get a rare (or maybe not so rare) certification of BEST--not a seperate ranking itself, though. I will start tonight with their latest (NOT LAST, considering the unreleased archives of 80 songs yet to be tapped) album, Elegantly Wasted: Great Songs: Elegantly Wasted, She is Rising (BEST), Building Bridges Comments: These are the best songs off this album, and She is Rising is in my opinion one of their all time absolute bests. Very mysterious, very mystic. I just get sucked into it every time I listen to it. It's a shame this wasn't a single; the world DESERVED to hear this gem. EW is a terrific, pump-me-up, get-me-psyched, ready-to-go song that gets me hyped (or did I not make that clear enough?). While Building Bridges was never a favorite of mine, I recognize it's greatness, and any who think INXS were all about only pop needs to hear this song. Near Great: I'm Just a Man, Shake the Tree Comments: IJAM was an iffy for being a Great song. I still might change my mind. Well, that's why I made up the category of Near Great, I suppose. Terrific song. I got a whole new appreciation for it after hearing it live. Shake the Tree is another example of EW not simply being a retread of Kick, as some disparaging critics claimed. Very Good: Thrown Together, Girl On Fire Comments: Thrown Together had potential (like a lot of the songs on this album), but I think the middle eastern guitar is forced and doesn't mesh as well as it could. But then again I DO find it appealing in a sense. However, the song is just way too looooooonnnnnnggg. But, like Shake the Tree it is yet another example of the band evolving and expanding. A lot of people have put down Girl On Fire as being, well, too poppy, but I don't think that should take away from it. It is a very catchy and upbeat song, with an AWESOME sing-along chorus. Good/Solid: Show Me (Cherry Baby), Searching, Don't Lose Your Head Comments: People have put down Show Me's "Oh, Cherry Baby" chant, but that aside, this is a solid song with a killer intro that, unfortunately the rest of the song doesn't live up to. The middle eastern guitar is better executed than in Thrown Together, though, and the verses, and the way Michael sings them, are excellent. Don't Lose Your Head is a good tune, would have been a smash hit in 1989, but doesn't stand out. Searching, well, the live version is GREAT, and had the studio cut sounded more like it live, or had they simply had a live version on the album instead, Searching would've been ranked Great and certified BEST. It has that kind of potential, and live, it achieves it. But we're talking the studio cut here, and while I can listen to it, it just sounds so sterile. Average: Everything Comments: Again, like Searching, to hear it live is amazing (and I've posted these sentiments before). But, also like the studio cut of Searching, Everything is just too sterile for me to enjoy. Live, however, It leapfrogs to the status of Near Great; it's very haunting live. So there you have the ratings for EW. A summary is: Great: EW, Building Bridges, She is Rising (BEST) Near Great: I'm Just a Man, Shake the Tree Very Good: Thrown Together, Girl on Fire Good/Solid: Shake the Tree, Searching, Don't Lose Your Head Average: Everything Keep in mind that my BEST ranking not only stands for the best of the ALBUM, but also for best EVER. If we were to look at the rankings together, we see that EW rates as a Very Good to Near Great album. If you were to switch this to a point scale, it'd come out as 3.5 out of 5, by looking at all the songs and where they rank. Just by doing it like this I was able to get a better perspective of the album as a whole. This album had potential to be better, and better versions of both Everything and Searching would have thrown it up to Near Great easily, and maybe but not quite Great, so on the point scale we'd have it at 4.5 out of 5 instead. It's that close. Over the next few days, I'll post my assessment of the other albums. What do you guys think?

But I must say Everything is the one I like most. It reminds me of early INXS. I know you (brian) are intending to put your views of all the INXS albums.. but here are some of my personal findings : I'm finding here (Australia) that people who where in their teens when INXS first came out believe that Shabooh Shobaah is the best INXS album, whereas people my age (25) think Kick is and the more alternative, of my age group, think The Swing is. Also most of the people in all these groups think that after Kick INXS lost their raw power. Honestly I can sing every song off every album I own.. the only ones I don't have are INXS, Underneath the Colours & EW. (I think my sister is going to solve the problem of me not having EW this X'mas - I hope so) Honestly, there are songs on each album I absolutely couldnt live without, songs that I love, like, think are ok, and songs that I just sing along to because they come on. Therefore I dont think I have a favourite INXS album, though I can say, that I *do* prefer their earlier stuff to their more recent. I have a hard time deciding which INXS album I want to put on in the car/home.. cuz I want to hear all my favourite songs of each album. Geez life aint fair! ;) But since you put your rating of the album.. I think it would be interesting to see what the *whole* list thinks of each INXS album.. their own personal ratings. Or even if we posted our favourite INXS songs ... it would be really interesting (i think). Ok so heres mine : My Favourite INXS songs (i dont mean for this to be from Number 1 to Number 10- cause I couldnt do that.... it just my fave songs) KICK The One Thing Dont Change Just Keep Walking One x One The Gift The Swing Taste It Not Enough Time Burn For You To Look At You Lately Love is (What I Say) Heaven Sent Time Everything Oh...

I never wanted to declare war to all the list members but i only had a reaction after all the messages called "new singer". I'm happy to see that no one of you wanted to replace Michael because I thougt it was what you were talking about. I agree when you say that Michaelwas not INXS and that they could continue under this name but only if the five stay alone without another singer...they always been six and if a stranger come from outside it would be a different band, I think...but what I think is not the truth, I'm not so stupid...but nobody can disagree with the fact that Michael wasn't INXS but he was the main character. Kozak wrote: "Secondly, you guys call Ricky pretentious when you say they should not carry on as INXS". I never said that, i said he's pretencious beacause he compares his ten years of INXS Fan to my girlfriend Six years only and wrote that we could only speak when we will reach this ten years!! And I always wanted the other five members to continue and I suppose they will think a lot of their future before they take a decision but it will be thier choice not ours so all these speculations are nonsense...and sheyenne, we can't choose our name family but they can do what they want about their musical future. At the biginning, reading the messages about Michael replacement it maked me think of a man losing his wife and looking for another girl a week later...I'm happy that patricia had a message for us (thanks) and that Ricky appologise (no problem peace!!). I think all this get too far (all these singers...madonna, the verve, texas, transmiision vamp.....) and we are the only one who wrote to stop all that and I think it's good that all the one's who talk about replacement tell again that it was not to forget Michael. I dont't know if you will understant because i'm really shearching my words to explain what i think and to don't hurt you because i very calm and i'm really trying to tell what i think without having a judgement on you...it's no more provocation.... now!! I suscribed this list to have some information about all this tragedy but i must leave for one week so if you find some news please send them to me thomm@hol.fr or to my girlfriend graziellatrimboli@minitel.net because i must unsuscribe otherwise in one week i will find 1000 messages. I will resuscribe in january to see all your tributes when Michael birthday will arrive. Don't hesitate to write us in private.

I always give a donation. This year, I dedicated it in memory of Micheal. As I was getting in my car, they said over the air, "Aimee Skibickyj just donated $25 in loving memory of Micheal Hutchence of INXS." The DJ, whom sits on the roof all weekend in the cold to prove a point that it's not easy being homeless, was really sincere in saying how Micheal will be missed. They play mostly dance music, but play INXS once in a while during the "retro" lunch. I hate that term. Makes me feel old & I'm only 23. But, I was told of some other local station(s) that told "jokes" after Micheal's death. Thank God, I didn't hear it & no one will tell me what was said, which is a good thing.

(please don't bash me...just mho). i love the guitar part when mike sings "i saw you laughing..." kick ass guitar part there!! all in all, i give EW 4 1/2 stars out of 5!! ______________________________ A summary is: Great: EW, Building Bridges, She is Rising (BEST) Near Great: I'm Just a Man, Shake the Tree Very Good: Thrown Together, Girl on Fire Good/Solid: Shake the Tree, Searching, Don't Lose Your Head Average: Everything Keep in mind that my BEST ranking not only stands for the best of the ALBUM, but also for best EVER.

We're all grieving, we all love INXS. Get over the differences. (Like I'm one to talk from some of my old messages...*cough* but I've lived and learned) IMHO, I think INXS should continue on. They're a unit. Heh, maybe Kirk could sing. ;) AFTER the proper grieving time, of course. #2 -- AoL users -- Some of us are smarter than we look. ;) #3 -- My new take on grieving -- Okay, actually my husband helped me out with this one. We were talking the other day about Michael and he said to me, "You know, at least you had him for so many albums. I wasn't so lucky." He's a big Blind Melon fan. So I got to thinking...yeah, he's right. I mean, look at some other bands who've lost their singer...Blind Melon, Sublime...heck, even ACDC or Lynrd Skynrd ( I know I spelled that wrong =P). Most of them didn't put out many albums before the singer died. We are lucky to have so much material shared with us over teh years...100s of songs, lots of videos, tours, even movies with Michael. We were lucky that he left all of this for us. He shared his brillance. He was an incredible man, and I'm sure he'd want us to continue listening to the group. So now I'm proudly blaring my INXS albums and wallowing in them. Immersing myself in them totally. Realizing how wonderful his gift was. And yes, it will last forever is we allow it to. Michael Hutchence lives on in our memories and in Tiger.

I have heard talk of them reforming under another name, that's not a bad idea but it seems it would be real confusing for their fans. These guys have been around awhile and loosing a band mate it must be like loosing a family member.

A similar thing happened when he passed, so many fans of his were piping mad at RS for doing little more than a three sentence mention of his passing, and that exacted a response from RS saying that plans can't be interupted, and he'd be in a few issues down, (though I think putting Puffy Daddy on the cover was a true example of the media-machine at its worst), which I suppose is the similar case with Michael.

I have been sorta quiet, I know....doesn't mean I am not reading these wonderful posts. I have been thinking about all the possibilities. Re-naming INXS, new singer, and the "release" of their 80-something songs from the vaults. Well, it all comes down to this for me: whatever the guys do, I will believe it will be done with Michael in mind. I'm sure Michael would be pleased with whatever decision(s) they will eventually make. As of now, I still believe that it is much to early for anything to be done with our band....their vacation is much deserved. On another note, I had a ring made in honour of Michael. It's a plain brass with the letters, "MKH" etched into it. I will wear it always...well, thanks for listening!

In time It will become a little less but a little part of my life died nov.22!!!! He gave us all the biggest gift anyone could of and that was the gift of song. His voice captivated us, he himself enchanted us, with his performances and his way of being. He was a chamelion living life,... loving life, and as I see it he is still living it up to the fullest, he was a leader not a follower and I truly beleive that he did it without realizing it... that is the kind of power he had, nothing or no one could keep him down... Or could it? We will probably never really find out why this happend to such an inovative man but waesnt that what he was all about, a misterious man? In time many will come to their own conclusions but the fact is that no matter what happenes in the future or what other people might say Michael meant so many good things to us, and that my friends will NEVER, EVER die!!!!!

But I'm not, so I don't. Hearing someone say things like that is just annoying to those of us who aren't from down under. I don't want to get into a "Where are the Real Fans From" debate, because I think geography is irrelevant when it comes to how much a person likes a group or even a team for that matter. Having said that, I would like to point out that clearly the most impressive of all INXS websites (An Excess of INXS) was not designed by an Aussie, but by a good ol' Jersey boy. And although I may not know him all that well, you'd have a hard time convincing me that anybody could be more of a "real fan" than Neil (or Lenore or Kris or even that HYBRID). Neil, I figured you'd enjoy me pointing out the one thing you have in common with HYBRID! No hard feelings "mate", but I felt I to defend us non-Aussies.

However, with today's technology, it's very annoying. We'll probably see something in January. Actually, I'll never forgive Rolling Stone for dumping INXS around the time of WTWYA. My view was that it was a planned move to do so, and it was very sad to see it happen as they actually supported the group for a long time, and they often won Reader's Polls in Oz for several categories. BTW, I have just rediscovered what a great song Original Sin is, after watching Live Baby Live again. I really think its their best! Anyway, peace to everyone, and Merry Xmas.

I'm curious Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Ok there has been lots of talk about the best album/song, while thinking of my list of favourites I took myself back the the time in this state Perth, WA, Australia when INXS really became INXS. I was 17 and starting my first job, currently I own every album from number 1 up to and including Kick. I started following the band around early 1982 with the release of Shabooh Shoobah. Over the next 3-4 years INXS played the pub scene and the big venues. I was fortunate enough to be able see INXS Live and LOUD. So that Is I suppose why, when I was giving my vote I was thinking of the great time in my teenage life. I wish I could of seen 1% of the amount of concerts you have had the pleasure of seeing, I have seen them live in concert Perth Entertainment Centre twice only, I still have the original tickets and wanted to maybe sell or auction the tickets 28th September 84(The Swing Tour) 4th September 85 (INXS With Special Guests) I have also seen the Band live on the Perth pub scene ?#'s of times. This type of INXS music is different to the more recent albums, prior to the kick album they were mainly an Australian band and we lost our INXS to the rest of the world, so it's time to share, this band if for all. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTE: *** This is only my opinion, I wish not to offend *** + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Todd.

I have been wanting to express my saddness and say my goodbyes for some time now. I just watched the funeral, so I supose I am ready. My journey as an INXS fan began in Jr. High(I am now 22). I spent my lunch hour memorizing the lyrics to the KICK album. I became a massive fan after that. I bought every record I could get my hands on, I owned all the cd's. I woke up the morning new albums came out and rushed to the nearest record store. I was first in line to purchase tickets when they came in concert. I was lucky enough to see INXSW live three times in concert. I was 15 the first time, my parents drove me and my friends to the show. I made a big banner that read "I love you Micheal", I also brought flowers to through on stage. I remember crying at the show, it was a moment of a lifetime for me. At that time my room was an INXS shrine, I had posters everywhere. In my yearbooks from school, my friends always said I would be the unheard member. The second time I saw INXS in concert, I was 18 or 19. It was general admission and you can guess I was in the front row. Micheal jumped off stage and reached his hand out to adoring fans. He, in all his glory was right in front of me, I grabbed his hand, and for a moment, nothing mattered. It took two security guards and my boyfriend to pull me off of him. The last show I went to was this past July, the 15 I believe. This was an evening of a lifetime. The show was brillant. I was lucky enough to get backstage where I got to met the men that I had been involved with for so long. When I met Micheal, my breath was taken away. I stood like a schoolgirl as he signed my records. My heart pounded with furry, I wathced with unblinking eyes. I have a photo of me and the band, I treasure it. For a few minutes of my life, I was surrounded by angels. A friend of mine from work poned me up with the heart wrencing news of Micheals death. I did not want to believe it. I searched for any information about his death, finally after watching about 2 hours of news, my nightmare had been confirmed. I woke my mother up for a shoulder to cry on. I felt as if I has lost my best friend. Micheal brought such happiness to my life, he brought me smiles, gittyness, tears, hope and a warm feeling in my heart. If he only knew how much he meant to me. I grew up with INXS, it is hard for me to realize that I will never wake up to buy a new album. I will never be able to wait in line for concert tickets again. I will never feel the goosebumps on my arms when I see them play live. There will be no more new photos to hang on my wall, or lyrics to memorize. It is over. I have wonderful memories to hold onto and never let go of. I can hear his voice through speakers, glance at ticket stubs, and dream of him and for that I find some strength to make my heart smile once again. I will miss Micheal, but when I want to see him, I close my eyes and dream, and my heart once again is filled with a warm sense of happiness. For he is by my side. Thank you for getting though this, sorry for the lenghth, but I had to release my thoughts.

I'm curious Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu ORIGINALLY I WROTE THIS! Hi All I'm curious to know how many Australians are on the list compared to Americans & British, I know there are some from Sth.Africa, France, Sweden etc, but it seems the Aust., USA & UK are the majority. The reason for my question is that most people that are actually posting to the list believe/state that EW is the best album from INXS and/or EW is the most talked about album. Like I said, I'm curious how many Aussies, and why people are saying EW is so great. I've heard a couple of songs off EW, and so far I like Everything-it reminds me of early INXS. Take care and happy holidays and of course safe holidays too :) Kylie __________________________________________________________________ __________ NOW I WRITE: Hi all FIRSTLY: I've been able to start working out that there are Aussies here.. maybe not as many as Americans. SECONDLY: I feel the only reason why EW is getting mentioned on the list is (obvious D'oh) because it is the lastest album from INXS. THIRDLY: I don't feel my post, implied that Aussies are the *real* fans of INXS! I know a few Aussies that could care less that INXS exist or that MH died. I had a Real Life friend in irc that knew I was upset and when I told him that I was upset cuz of MH dying.... (when I wrote it I put in ()'s "Dont laugh).. his reply was .. "bummer...NOT".. I havent spoken to him in a month now. FOURTHLY: I dont think a real fan of a band has to reside in the same town/state/country, a real fan doesnt have to have every album, have gone to every concert, followed the band/artist around the country/world, have flashy web pages, a room covered in posters, have been a fan since the birth of the band/artist, have met the band/artist... I think you guys get the gist of my dribble here. Basically I think a *real* fan, just has to be someone that is affected by the band/artist. A band/artist that gets your attention, you feel for when something good/ugly happens. Also I think a real fan can even critise the band/artist on a song/album/act. There are INXS songs that I dont really care for, I'll sing them when I hear them, but I certainly wouldn't programme them when putting a cd on. Funnily enough, going through all my INXS stuff/music when MH died, I found that their songs that reached the top 10 are the ones, that I really dont go off on eg:Suicide Blonde, Dancing on The Jetty, LLT, Original Sin. (maybe cuz they got so much air play!) I know people that liked INXS and think that MH dying is a sad thing but thats bout the size of it for them, whereas US (here on the list and others that don't access the list) who loved INXS, and where thrown/devastated by MH's death, are the REAL fans. FIFTHLY: I didnt mean for a debate/harsh words to begin by my original post, I just wanted to know how many Aussies are on the list, and why is that EW is more talked about in regards to best album/songs. I have found that the people (I KNOW) that have a fave INXS album usually pick an early one. I'm 25 and I find that the people that are older than me/were teenages when INXS first came out pick Shabooh Shoobah has the best, people around my age pick KICK and the more alternative of my age pick The Swing. Most of these people think INXS lost something from their music after KICK. AND YES some of these people are REAL fans. I think the people (Remember this is IMO) that like the stuff after KICK are either just reaching their 20's, live in different countries from the mainstream, or just didnt get exposed to early INXS. SUMMING UP MY POST: There's no need to argue about this, everyone is entitled to Free speech, I dont intend to offend anyone anywhere by this post, (again) I just wanted to know how many Aussies & why EW was getting mentioned. SUMMING UP REAL FANS: Not everyone everywhere has the $$ to get every album, go to every concert, follow them all over the world. That doesnt mean they don't want to. A real fan can also be someone who has listened to a band/artist the entire time of their existance and can be someone who has listened to them for 5 minutes! Take care.... AND REMEMBER 'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY' !!!

While I understand that a lot of people may feel it is unimportant to ponder, I still find it something worthy of thought. What Kylie wrote about older INXS fans liking earlier INXS material and younger fans liking their later stuff I agree with. I'm in my mid-20's and have been a fan since 1988--the height of Kick. I guess consequently I have tended to like their newer stuff since, although Listen Like Thieves is one of my favorites. It's kind of ironic that Kick had such a dual impact regarding fans; it hooked new, younger fans, but may have set the stage for turning off newer fans (or did X do that?). While I like some of the songs off Shabooh Shoobah (namely The One Thing and Don't Change) and The Swing (Burn For You), on the whole I'm not much into them. I don't even own the first two albums. But I've counted the days til the release of the later ones, all of which I like very much. As far as the perception that INXS lost their "edge" after Kick, it seems similar to what happened to U2 after The Joshua Tree, when Achtung Baby came out. A TON of old fans turned away ANGRILY, from what I've heard. I guess it's inevitable that as bands get older they invariably change. But what I wanted to add about INXS' place in history is that, no matter that they weren't as popular anymore recently, no matter that the media started to ignore them--and in the case of the Australian media, turn on them and crucify them--no matter that an over-bearing Beattle wanna-be who can't write an original lyric insulted Michael in front of millions on TV, none of that matters, because for one brief moment, one shining glorious moment, in 1988, INXS were the BIGGEST band in the WORLD, bar none. There were none bigger. Not U2, not the Rolling Stones, not Madonna, not Michael Jackson. INXS attained a height and a popularity WORLDWIDE matched by very few. I recently got a copy from a fellow-lister that featured Australian Made and the 1988 MTV Music Awards, and watching it I couldn't help but come to this realization. Australian Made was INXS' coming out party; they'd arrived, as Michael said at the end of the show. The MTV Awards were the INXS Awards; as Arsenio Hall himself declared, INXS were the world's best live band. Things really hit home for me, watching that for the first time in nine years. Need You Tonight beat out TWO U2 songs for best video. That was a glorious night. Even though that glory faded (popularity-wise), the fact that INXS were SO big that year, and on a worldwide scale, cannot be denied. I'll say it again: INXS was the biggest band in the world in 1988. So what, you say? Living in the past, you say? What have they done, lately, you say? Well, what they've done lately is put out some really kick-ass albums that, unfortunately, never got a fair shot. But how many bands can lay claim to the title of the world's biggest band? I'm not talking about merely popular; I'm talking simply overshadowing everyone else. Can popular bands today really say they were even remotely as big now as INXS at their height? Don't make me laugh. Oasis likes to THINK it, but they're deluding themselves. Two bands that can make that claim are themselves older bands: U2 and the Rolling Stones. They've both, at varying times, been the biggest band in the world, but in '88 they weren't as big as INXS. This may sound trite to some, but for me it means a lot to be able to say it. Just about EVERYBODY I know owns Kick, or owned it at some point. Even though their interest faded after, INXS were their favorite band then. That in itself is a testament to INXS place in music history; that they were able to reach such heights of popularity. Before I finish I just want to clarify that I in no way think a band's popularity should be more important than the music they make. If that were the case I wouldn't even BE here, at 3 in the morning, writing this. But one of our constant themes on this list is blasting the media for ignoring INXS, and rightfully so. But this is merely a reflection of the band's recent decline of popularity. But when you watch MTV or listen to the radio and you see a (for now) popular band getting round the clock airplay and being touted as an oh-so-great band, etc, just ask yourself if they could even possibly measure up to INXS at their height.

For this to work we need the support of everyfan. So please make an effort. If we get enough people willing to go we may even have to book the Hard Rock, if that is possible. Also could that fans in Sydney please e-mail me so I can get an idea as to how many people are going to attend.

Obviously it would be redundant to rate every song of the Greatest Hits because I will eventually review them anyway, but it does include two new (when it was released) songs, and those I am rating: Strangest Party (These Are The Times): Near Great I love the guitar in the middle, and Gary's the man on bass. Deliver Me: Average This song has got some good points, but it seems like a techno song, and I'm not into techno. The American version of The Greatest Hits contained Deliver Me, as did the UK version. Unfortunately, I sold my American version in favor of the UK version that included the remix album (that I never listen to), so I can't comment on the content of the US version, since I don't remember exactly which songs were on the album. However, some glaring omissions from both that should have made it were Don't Change, Mediate, and Not Enough Time. But, balancing those out, I guess, were the inclusion of Listen Like Thieves and the Stairs (U.S. version). Full Moon, Dirty Hearts Great Songs: Full Moon Dirty Hearts, Freedom Deep, Cut Your Roses Comments: The title track has an awesome bluesy sound, and Chrissy Hyndes vocals add a nice, sultry touch to a great song. The guitar solo is awesome; too bad it's so short, on the Dirty Honeymoon Tour Kirk played it twice as long and it was great. Freedom Deep has that transcendant feel to it; very introspective and ambiant. Cut Your Roses is an impressive dance/funk number that is the forebearer of Elegantly Wasted (the song). Near Great: Kill the Pain, The Gift Comments: Kill the Pain is a very emotional and moving song about getting through the bad times in life--not always the right way. The Gift is very industrial; it's the video that puts this song over the top. Very Good: Time, Viking Juice, Comments: Time is a timeless rocker in the tradition of New Sensation, Suicide Blonde, and Heaven Sent. Viking Juice carries on the experimentation of WtWYA. Good/Solid: Days of Rust, I'm Only Looking, Please (You Got That...), Make Your Peace Comments: All of these songs are solid songs that are enjoyable to listen to. Average: The Messenger Comments: While solid, this song doesn't distinguish itself. Summary: Great: FMDH, Freedom Deep, Cut Your Roses Near Great: Kill The Pain, The Gift Very Good: Time, Viking Juice Good: Please (You Got That...), Make Your Peace, I'm Only Looking, Days of Rust Average: The Messenger FMDH is a solid effort with three great songs and a couple of near greats. It never got a fair shot in America, and that's unfortunate. Brian From: "BPRice" To: "INXS Mailing List" , "INXS-List" Subject: [INXS] Rating the albums: Welcome to Whereever You Are Date: Tue, 23 Dec 1997 22:40:12 -0600 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Wow. When I sat down to consider the caliber of the songs on this album I was impressed. Not one song was Average; over half the songs on this album are Great. Great songs: Questions (BEST), Heaven Sent, Taste It, Not Enough Time, Baby Don't Cry, Beautiful Girl (BEST), Strange Desire Comments: What can I say? Questions is an incredible (if short) song. Heaven Sent, Taste It, and Baby Don't Cry are all giants. Not Enough Time and Strange Desire are both impressive. And Beautiful Girl does for WtWYA what Everything tried to do for EW: gives the album a ballad that matches Never Tear Us Apart in sheer beauty. Near Great: Communication, Back On Line, Men and Women Comments: Communication is like Questions in that it tells the listener that INXS is turning in a new direction, ala U2 with Achtung Baby. Back On Line is timeless. And Men and Women is a haunting song that makes brilliant use of the orchestra. Very Good: Wishing Well Good/Solid: All Around Summary: WtWYA is a triumph for INXS, and this is borne out by so many listers picking this as their favorite album. Unfortunately it also irrevocably turned away many fickle listeners used to the Kick sound, and WtWYA was not as successful for INXS as Achtung Baby was for U2, though it more than holds it's own in comparison (Note: I love BOTH albums, but have to go with my boys on this one). It is ironic that an album so revolutionary, and so artistically innovative, and so brilliant, turned so many people off. Maybe it was the album cover. WtWYA did chart at Number 1 in the UK. In the USA it peaked at 16, a very high mark nowadays considering the even larger lack of success of the following albums after that, but at the time it reflected poorly in comparison to LLT, Kick, and X, all of which charted higher. This perpetuated an image of a band in decline, and I think fed on itself, as far as the media and the industry were concerned. After WtWYA, nobody was interested in what INXS had to say anymore. And that is an outrage.

OK, Julie... this time of year is hard for a lot of us.... I, for one, will be having to spend my first Christmas without my mother (she died in April). And it's generally a very stressful time for everyone. It's that time of year when we sit back and look at the past year... and yeah.... I'll be the first one to say that this year bit the big one, hardcore.... and I know you're feeling down... and we are here for you!!! we really are... but first of all... remember that it is Christmas Eve and we're all at the end of our ropes here.... I know I still have one gift left to buy and I have no desire to go to the mall tomorrow, but that's another story altogether... I don't want to speak for Neil here, but I'm gonna anyway... I think what he was saying was that an overabundance of one liners gets a bit annoying... the occasional one liner happens... and I really don't think that he was referring to *yours* in particular... OK? They've been getting more frequent lately and Neil is the one that always gets the complaint e-mails.... so when people get irritated with something... they generally tell Neil.... and he has to be the messenger... and we know what Michael had to say about that, right? right. We are here for you, Julie.... what started out as a group to discuss the latest albums and last night's concert is now become a support group in a sense.... We all lost something special when Michael died... and some of us are taking it "better" than others.... nobody is belittling your pain or saying that you don't belong here or that your feelings are not important... so please don't see it that way, OK? I hope you don't decide to leave the list... I think that the last thing that Michael would want is to see us bickering amongst ourselves when we're all on the same frigging side here.... we all love INXS and we all miss Michael terribly.... we may have our own opinions on things.... that's what makes us individuals.... that's a good thing... but lashing out at each other (and I'm not referring to you Julie.... I know you're hurting, hon) is just not right... I've been holding back for a bit on that one... but I wanted to add that.... Another thing we have to realize is that all we have to go on are words... you don't get the tone of voice and facial expressions that you would in a face to face conversation..... so you have to be careful how you take things... otherwise there are a lot of misunderstandings.... I hate to see another person in pain.... so the best I can do is send you a big hug, Julie:) OK? and feel free to e-mail me privately and vent your little heart out... And the reason I posted this to the list instead of e-mailing privately is because I wanted everybody to see my point(s) cuz I think they're pretty good ones :) unfortunately they turned out to be long ones, but oh well... and I feel much better now :) *whew* Love to all~ Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah!!!!!!!

The show is divided into 5 parts and range from 2.7 - 4.8 megs. Don't be afraid to get the RealPlayer 5.0 plug-in for your computer, I know I was always a bit intimidated about stuff like that when I started cruising the internet, but it's well worth it. Due to the file sizes of the Egos & Icons program, once we get a new program ready, we will replace Egos & Icons with what ever else we find....unless we find additional server space for it. And for those new to the list or reading about this for the first time, we also have many other great features including over 20 full length INXS songs in RealAudio format. This posting is for the many people who don't have access to MuchMusic so they can enjoy a very well done program about INXS. It's worth the download. *********** REPLY PARTITION *********** On 12/23/97, at 10:02 PM, HYBRID1616 wrote: > > Would someoen be so great as to tape this for me i will pay for the tpae >and shipping costs thankyou !! > > Lynn > Date: Wed, 24 Dec 1997 06:29:49 -0600 From: "Tony Alan" To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] Why I created www.inxskick.com X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by majordomo.iastate.edu id GAA19694 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu For those of you wondering who I am and why I have a website for INXS, here is an excerpt from my personal statement as available on http://www.inxskick.com/introductions/ While the death of Michael is sad, frustrating, disappointing, and a great loss to everyone who knew him either by music, friendship or love...I keep in mind he going on to a higher ground. I celebrate the fact that he enjoyed life and lived each day with passion, enjoying in a day what most people don't even get to experience in a lifetime. For those closest to him, I send out my love..I can imagine and empathize with such loss and pain. His soul is at peace, while ours stirs with the realization he is no longer with us. Making us realize no matter who you are, life is very real and very fragile....we are human and we are only here for a specific period of time. For those of us who lived through Michael, this loss is especially deep. Admiring a man for being able to open his heart and soul on stage to share a personal passion and energy, causing our own bodies and minds to explode with that same passion and energy. Musicians who are willing and able to share, spark the same ! within each one of us. Like an electric current being generated by the kick drum, our hearts pound in-time with the band, with the audience, with all the others around the world who get the same energy from the music. It's the kick drum providing a steady beat, pulling everything together. No matter who is doing a guitar solo or singing. No matter who is watching the concert or listening to the CD, it's there. The kick drum, pulling everything together...one steady beat. That is why the web site I created is called INXS KICK. Not just because it was their highest selling album, but because it's the KICK drum that holds everything together and provides one single steady beat for everyone to gather energy from and keep on the same track. tonyalan@photographer.net One World, One Net, One Beat, One Band People Of The World Unite In Appreciation Of XS Music @ http://www.inxskick.com/ From: "Evenson, William R.

Its Christmas and I have to get get ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus and all I think about is INXS. I was in the mall and I checked the Music charts and the INXS bins in hope that music was selling well. I saw a Jim Morrison poster there with a poem on it remembering him.

L. Frink. It seemed quite fitting for Michael, I thought I would share... "The rose beyond the wall" Near shady wall a rose once grew, Budded and blossomed in God's free light, Watered and fed by morning dew, Shedding its sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, Slowly rising to loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength With never a thought of fear or pride, It followed the light through the crevice's length And unfolded itself on the other side. The light, the dew, the broadening view Were found the same as they were before, And it lost itself in beauties new, Breathing its fragrance more and more. Shall claim of death cause us to grieve. And make our courage faint and fall? Nay! Let us faith and hope recieve~~ The rose still grows beyond the wall, Scattering fragrance far and wide Just as it did in days of yore, Just as it did on the other side, Just as it will forevermore. nice to think of our Michael as that rose...Happy Holidays to everyone...and love to Michael's family, Andrew, Garry, Jon, Kirk, and Tim... I hope 98 brings us all more happiness and less sorrow. And another very grateful thank you to everyone here. I can't imagine getting through the past month without the everyone's support and understanding, and thoughts of love.

Well, Rolling Stone did have a blurb on page 58. It was about when drugs were found in Micheal & Paula's home around the beginning of the year. No mention of his death, though. I can't really say much about Spin because I only flipped through the issue at the store. Maybe someone else can comment on that. Oh, and Maria mentioned the Tibetan Book of Living & Dying. I read it in '95 & it is just amazing. It will make you look at dying much more peacufully. I'm not looking forward to it, but it does give you more peace to what is inevitable, that being death.

I don't know how anyone can sit there and say that the"real" fans are in Australia. I live in Canada and I've been a DEVOTED fan for over 13 years, started up a INXS fanzine, went to every show etc...so like you Aim, I take offense to this comment. INXS had a steady fan following here in Canada and the band themselves have acknowledge this fact......but I personally don't think it matters where you are geographically. INXS appreciated each and everyone of their fans be it from Australia to Alaska, it didn't matter to them. So Todd I think you're being a bit arrogant to say something like that. A INXS fan is a "real" fan no matter where they live, no matter if they've liked the band for 1 year or 20 it doesn't matter. I say were all "real" INXS fans and that's what matters.

A friend that isn't on the list has a beautiful quote from a Cure song as her closure on her letters. The first time I actually read it, I immediately thought of Micheal and everything I wished I'd said to him when I had the chances. He was just such a wonderful human being. Here's the quote I was talking about: Never quite managed the words to explain to you Never quite knew how to make them believable And now the time has gone. ~untitled ~The Cure Thanks to everyone for the enormous support throughout this past month. Without you guys, I don't know what I would've done. You are the ones that understand the pain and heartache, for you too feel the same. I can't complain about this past year. I saw INXS quite a few times & even met them. The only complaint I have is in how the good times ended so tragically. I wish we could turn back time & change it. I wish Micheal was back here in the way we knew him.

Yates's former publicist GERRY AGAR claims Yates wanted to publicize her relationship with the BY MY SIDE hitmaker, who hanged himself in his Sydney hotel room last month. She told British magazine NOW, "No-one knows it was her who tipped off the press that time Michael attacked a photographer in a hotel. She got a member of her staff to make the call because she knew the papers would recognize her voice. She wanted them to get caught because Michael wouldn't finish with Helena. Michael never knew that. There he was, saying how appalling the press were, when it was Paula all along who tipped them off. She did the same thing with so-called wedding plans. She would tip off the tabloids, saying they were getting married, without even asking Michael."

When we were in Sydney for Michael's funeral, we went to the Hard Rock Cafe during that week, it had the items you mentioned but no special tributes (this was only 3 or 4 days after Michael died). In Melbourne, they have Tim's guitar signed by the band, a signed record award for LLT, Get Out of the House tour poster (from the Bomb Factory in Dallas)...think that's about it, hopefully they have some more stuff soon as a tribute.

Yates's former publicist GERRY AGAR claims Yates wanted to publicize her relationship with the BY MY SIDE hitmaker, who hanged himself in his Sydney hotel room last month. She told British magazine NOW, "No-one knows it was her who tipped off the press that time Michael attacked a photographer in a hotel. She got a member of her staff to make the call because she knew the papers would recognize her voice. She wanted them to get caught because Michael wouldn't finish with Helena. Michael never knew that. There he was, saying how appalling the press were, when it was Paula all along who tipped them off. She did the same thing with so-called wedding plans. She would tip off the tabloids, saying they were getting married, without even asking Michael."

This is great, replying to my own message! However I realise what this shop has done, it is actually the 'Great Video Experience' video, except they have listed it as 'Greatest Video Hits'. Then what they did is listed EVERY song on the video, even if it is only played for 10 seconds etc. Shouldn't they have listed the track listing on the back cover? This store must watch all their video's first! If they are listing the tracks the way they have, why isn't Deliver Me included in their list? That is played during the video. The reason I thought there was is because the OZ tour was to promote the Greatest Hits too, the posters mentioned the Greatest Hits and the band was only going to play about 4 E.W. songs, the rest of the set was to be a Greatest Hits show for their 20th anniversery. Also the reason I thought there may have been a video for 'Strange Desire' is because at the end of Welcome video presskit they play S.D. with some girls walking home from the Concert for Life etc., so I though they may have made a video because it's one of the bands favourite's from Welcome.. If any of you saw the UK special of the 12" X mixes in 1991 on the closing credits they started playing 'The Stairs' video, but at the time no one knew that was to be the video, as it just looked like some statues. I'm probably confusing everyone more, but the bottomline is no new video for the moment. p.s. Anyone else notice that on the Rage special during 'Suicide Blonde' they edited out "You've got a death wish"? Matthew. From: "Danilo Meira" To: "INXS Mailing List" Subject: Sorry...

There is also an Australian store called Greg's world, I think. Find the information on the excess of INXS pages. Excess also has a few things available from private collections. As for Paula Yates' autobiography, this would probably be a fascinating read, telling us a lot about Michael. Unfortunately, I did a search at Amazon.com, supposedly the world's largest bookstore, and it was not there. Since it was published in 1995, it's probably long since out of print. If anyone comes across it, let me know.

Originally aired in April 97. Brillaint!! Ohhh Michael looks so lovely.... hes just a man tho, but whatta man ;)) He does amazing justice to polyester pants ! (sorry couldnt resist) Heavenly and Paula are there in the front row... they pan over to them during Just a Man. The band sounds wonderful.... this live raw in the studio feeling. Their first time playing live at Much they said.  Michaels voice was its usual sensual treat.  They also spoke about their official Web site and mentioned their awareness of the 'unofficial' ones out there :))  Kudos to you web masters! We will have to forgive Much tho for giving the interview to this young guy, Rick the Temp... very inexperienced and obviously not a seasoned pro.  He was just sort of there you know... did not make the show any more dynamic than it could have been.  He is almost embarrasing :-(( Rick aside... the band was spot on and the arrangements of the songs was really refreshing.  What a great sound they make together.  Bare bones mixes, they sound just wonderful accoustically like that. Great shots of Michael... does he take a bad one?  They filled in with a few videos including Searching... which was nice to finally see. Bravo Much!!!  They aired the special again they said, because they were inundated with calls, faxes and E mail requesting it.  That combined with their Egos and Icons special make a great 2 hour tribute.  One I will surely watch over and over.

Let me begin by saying that I can see why this movie went straight to video. I didn't think that a movie without a plot (or at least one of randomly meandering through people's lives) could be produced, but this one made it. I love the soundtrack, I've always thought Michael was cool, but this movie was just plain bad. Oh well, I finally found it and watched it. After all, you never know how something is until you try it. BTW, I found the movie at my local Blockbuster and rented it. I know there are those of you who love this movie. But I'd be hard pressed to discover why. PS Is the new list server up and running? Are we supposed to be subscribing to it currently. PPS I've been meaning to say this for a while and now that it's a current topic...use your spell checkers.

If you want to be considered intelligent, then make yourself appear that way. This is not directed to everyone....just those who know they continually misspell.

Not to far behind The Swing is LISTEN LIKE THIEVES,which has my favorite INXS song on it,Kiss The Dirt. I won't go throught every album,but here is a short run down of my favorite INXS albums in order.

I don't think that there will be another GH, but I believe that maybe a B-Sides or a tribute album can be released (according to their contract with Mercury, they have to release 3 more albuns).

I'm one of Michael's biggest fans and loved him dearly but I thought the movie was terrible. I sat through from beginning to end just to see Michael and I agree with you also Nick that the sound track was great. Other than that, not much good to say about the movie. Isn't "Dogs in Space" considered a cult classic? My nephew is not an inxs fan but loved the movie because he is very into the punk scene and is the lead singer in a punk band. He thought it was the coolest movie he had seen in quite some time. Now if I could only get him to start listening to inxs....oh well, I can't expect miracles....he's a hard core punker....at least he liked the movie!
