Jon Stevens has a great voice but why does he try to "copy" Michael in the way he moves and dances??? that is unbearable ! Michael was Michael and Stevens is Stevens, why doesn't he try to be "himself"??????? the way he moves and sings are so similar to Michael.....he obviously does it on purpose to look like Michael that's stupid.he should sing for himself and keep his personality...

Here are my comments: INXS with JS played "What you need", the version might have been about 6 minutes long, they played and sang live (if I understood, they were the first ones to perform live, go boys!!!!). I have to admit, I am VERY impressed with Jon Stevens. He is without any doubt a fabulous singer and performer. A very powerful voice, perfect intonation, and a great stage presence. The sing along part they played was pretty cool, and the high scream towards he end of the song proved Stevens' large tonal range. Pretty good, indeed. Now it's up to the band if they manage to write good NEW songs.

OK, I've got to get some sleep, but I've just got to say one more thing: Bob Costas came on at 7PM and announced INXS will be presented as part of the show for the evening. I sat through over 3 and a half hours, watching lucrative NBC advertising every ten minutes, just to see INXS being used as a backdrop for an interview? They should have mentioned they were planning to do this at the beginning of the broadcast. Didn't you just love it when Costas labeled them a "late eighties band." That remark will do wonders for their attempted comeback (If they are even planning as such). To make things worse, Al Trautwig was also there commentating. To make a long story short, Trautwig has been on my bad side since he was a commentator for ABC in the mid-eighties. He once was part of a broadcast team for a NASCAR Winston Cup stock car race, something I also love. He botched that race so badly, making moronic and outrageous statements, naming drivers in the incorrect cars, etc, that fans were writing in for WEEKS afterwards about what an idiot he is. I've never forgotten about him since then. It was only fitting he was part of the NBC team tonight. And Bob Costas, he tried to spoil the moment for me when my beloved Florida Marlins won the baseball World Series in '97, having to throw in his "two cents" about the team just at the moment they won the championship. I've had trouble forgetting him, too. So, as you can see, I smelled trouble brewing when I saw those two in the booth tonight. And they didn't let me down. Sorry for the long post. I'm just upset, and thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I'm sure in the morning I'll be realizing all the positives. After all, it was really magical to see INXS being part of this incredible show, wasn't it!! I never, never, never would have thought this would have been possible again. Even though I hardly saw them, the anticipation of that moment alone was well worth it all. Like I had said previously, it was great to have something like this to look forward to, first time since the EW tour and TV specials of 1997. I was on a high all day long, and INXS and Jon Stevens appeared to have done a great job. I hope they got some nice exposure throughout the world.

And Tim threw in a weird guitar rif through the middle. Jon Stevens "impersonation" of Michael seemed a little too much. IE it was choreographed, not only did he drape himself over Tim he mentioned Tim's name before the middle which was always typical of Michael........then it seemed that the world (atleast in Australia) needed to be reminded that it was INXS playing when Jon Stevens blurted it out after getting the crowd to spell out Sydney. I guess INXS should feel priveleged to be apart of it in "2000" as it was literally a celebration of the 80's for the most part, and they deserve credit for piloting Australian rock music (and entertainment in general) internationally through the latter part of that era. I find now however when hearing Jon Stevens sing, I am almost listening to it seperate from the music.........to me he's a very good rock singer.....but unlike Michael his voice doesnt fit over the funk that typically underpins all INXS music. It's quite obvious now that INXS regard What You Need as there best 'live' song.......TTD and Jon Stevens both given a crack at it when it came to the punch line at the most important two gigs for INXS of recent memory. As for NBC not playing all of it, NBC only televises stuff that can sell Pepsi or Coke etc, and clearly INXS have not done that sufficiently for a couple of years now....maybe Savage Garden could. Most of the closing ceremony would end up on the cutting room floor when you got some guy editing it who probably doesnt even know where Sydney is. That's bad luck.....most of you are clearly disappointed but "Great Expectations is all it would seem to be". What a shame INXS are not an American band then Kylie would be on the cutting room floor aye..

They rocked the world in 1987 with the hit single Need You Tonight, and they sold over 9 million copies worldwide. And here they go again..." He has forgotten that Michael had died. My oppinion: New Sension would have been a better song to be played, it would have been more rocking than Savage Garden Affirmation. (Savage Garden was so cool!) About Jon Stevens: I saw for the first time the band playing with Jon. He should join thh band as lead singer!!!! It was great. But this is my oppinion.

Sorry to all you guys who only got to see NBC's version. BBC in the UK covered everything (Guess we were just lucky). What everybody has to remember is whoever takes on the role of lead singer is always going to get critisised as nobody will ever be Michael. Nobody will ever sing the songs like Michael. Let's give Jon a break, I think he was very brave taking on the task of being front man as he is bound to be compared to Michael. He di a good job and given time I think he will find his own moves and style of singing.

I agree with Michael (Talon) about him draping himself over Tim - oh and the mic stand - come on you guys, didn't you see him do the Metro gig in Syd?? If not check out the "official web site" I have been a fan since the beginning and I'd say a "die hard" one at that but- although the whole closing ceremony was sensational, yes even though the majority of bands were from the 80's and had "hits" overseas (outside of OZ) I'd pretty much say that it was a bit saddening to see them in amongst all the other Oz bands-whom I've also grown up with-singing what you need. As Michael (Talon) said, nothing remarkbably special about it. However, there was no doubt that it's "their" song (INXS I mean) For those of you you haven't seen the Metro Syd gig on the official site, check it out Particulary Guns in the Sky-Jon even has the phrasing down to a tee-let alone the movements. Please don't misunderstand me- I loved noiseworks in their day too and saw them lots in Sydney. But yes-I think there is a bit of imitation going on their. How could Jon Stevens not be a fan of INXS himself. Makes sense doesn't it, when you see how he can move like Michael and phrase like Michael, sustain those notes like Michael, but he aint'-is he. But well done anyway. Mitch in Oz You can flame all ya like but It's what I think-not what I need.

Two minutes? More like 20 seconds!! You have Bob Costas talking about how hot they were in the 80s and rattling off a bunch of their songs and mentions Michael's death & how Jon Stevens singing w/them now -- all while they're playing and the camera is zooming in from across the stadium. They show maybe 20 seconds close up -- & not the Jon I wanted to see!! -- and then cut to interviews with athletes for the rest of the song!! ARGH!!!! Didn't we get enough interviews during the games? I thought the closing ceremonies were about celebration -- not asking the athletes what they're gonna do now that the games are over. ~*~ Donna ~*~ You've got instinct; You've got class; Why don't you leave that; guy on his a$$ From: "Cindy Robinson" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 11:14 AM Subject: INXS: Re: Inxs at Sydney I agree Louise.

Firstly, I am sorry for those that were not able to see the performance in the right way. Fortunately, here in Argentina the broadcast was great, I mean without comments, interviews and nothing at all. I liked much how they played WYN, perhaps Jon is try to imitate Mich in the way he moves on stage, etc but personally I think he was doing his best ( don´t get me wrong, I love Mich, he´s the only one). If some of us can do that better that Jon, in front of a lot of people watching tv in all around the world, please let them know to replace him immediately, I do it well in the shower, but all we know that no one else can.

I was about to write an email about that very subject. Everyone says for 2 years, "when will INXS do "something", "anything", to move along with their musical life. Then when they do, criticism!!! I imagine that if the guys felt that Jon was "imitating" Michael, they would not have him do what he does during performances. And there is also the idea that maybe the band WANTS him to try to do the songs LIKE Michael did!!! Whatever it is, Jon has to try to fit in, and be criticized by many fans, who think that the band should make their decisions based on the fans personal wishes. I would not want to step into a place that so many fanatical fans would not allow me to! And from watching rock bands for 20-something years, I can't offhand think of any lead singers who DO NOT hang on the shoulders of their lead guitarist at various times during performances, with one arm and sing. That is a "rock band fixture", not just INXS!!! I don't care if Jon moves, doesn't move, stands on his head, lays down, whatever....... I was just glad to see something of INXS again on stage performing. And that doesn't mean that I don't miss Michael's presence with the band. But he is not with the band any longer.

I was extremely excited to hear all of the artists that were to play the Closing Ceremonies (Savage Garden, Midnight Oil, Yothu Yindi, Midnight Oil, and especially INXS), and really looked forward to it. But as the performances went on, I saw more and more interruptions with interviews of the athletes. At first I thought maybe you were just doing this over artists that we here in the States were not familiar with (being you didn't interview anyone during Savage Garden). I had been looking forward to seeing INXS shown here in the States ever since Michael passed away. The fans here were not getting anything on their career after Michael, and I know we were all extremely anxious. But when I notice that INXS had the LEAST amount of coverage while performing, it terribly disapponted me! Every other coutry I have heard from fans of INXS saw teh Ceremonies un-interrupted. Why did we get shorted out of seeing these performances? No one was interviewd during Men at Work, and hardly anyone talked during Midnight Oil (except for the few rude comments made towards the singer). I am just very upset with your lack of respect to the artists who performed at the Sydney Closing Ceremonies. If you have any place that we can see these performances un-interrupted, PLEASE let me know! Thank you From: To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 3:29 PM Subject: INXS: Re: My NBC Rant I couldn't help but notice INXS seemed to get the least amount of coverage - and yet there was plenty of air time for Kylie Minogue and that thirteen year old Nikki whatever. Perhaps the guys should have dressed like showgirls or wore a slinky gown and Bob Costas could have made sophomoric comments about them too, with the camera lovingly fixed on their every move! After waiting hours to see INXS and having to sit through NBC's excruciatingly boring coverage - somewhere between watching paint dry and having root canal - it was so disappointing to see how little INXS was actually seen. I can't begin to understand why NBC promoted the bands appearing in the closing ceremonies and subsequently gave them so little coverage. I'm glad Midnight Oil got some good air time at least - they were classy as usual.

Well, I'm just thankful I stayed by the TV to watch the live coverage that Canada was running. I also waited for the U.S. coverage (in case it was different camera angles,etc.), and I can certainly sympathize with all of the U.S. fans' complaints. The NBC coverage was certainly not a balanced one of the closing ceremonies. I'm not sure who it was, Ashlynne I think, who thought that INXS did 3 songs. It would have been nice, but I am 99.9% sure they did the one song, if only because I was watching the live feed. Even though it meant several unending hours of TV watching, including giant inflatable floats and Paul Hogan on a motorized crocodile hat, it's times like these I guess I'm lucky the Canadian coverage didn't chop up the INXS performance. As for Jon Stevens, I thought he was far more similar in performance style to Terence Trent D'Arby, then to Michael. And while "What You Need" sounded great (it really did), I still can't help but be disappointed they didn't do either a new song or a very obscure one that was just as lively. But, still, I have no real complaints. The end result was great, positive press for INXS, and no matter how much or how little airtime they ended up getting, it's better than none at all, which has been the case for, essentially, almost three years now.

It must have been SO maddening! Thankfully, here in Ireland, we got uninterrupted coverage and I have to say, it was GREAT seeing the guys back. Yeah, JS did come across Michael-like during the performance but, to be honest, it didn't concern me too much. I thought the band sounded fantastic and you couldn't expect JS to sing "What You Need" whilst standing shock still, staring at his shoes. He got the crowd going and enjoyed himself. Fair play to him. Another thing, now that Tim has past his 43rd birthday, does Andrew fancy himself as the bands "rock" guitarist?! He was right at the front for most of the performance chugging away at his guitar. To see the joy on his (and the other guys) faces was worth watching itself, considering the time they've had since November 22nd 1997. Michael will never be forgotten but these guys still have a future. Roll on those new songs we all want to hear......... Ciao, Shaun.

Just how was the crowd's reaction to INXS? I know that most of the people there were merely there for the Olympic atmosphere and all, not being music fans (for the most part), but I'm very curious on how INXS was received (both in introduction and for their song) as compared to the other bands. Were many people up and moving and enjoying What You Need, or were they merely watching the event, subdued? Did they get some loud and crazy cheers afterward, or just polite applause? Just curious!

I've seen Jon Stevens in various things live over the years, BEFORE he had anything to do with INXS, and he's always had a stage presence, a very physical way of singing and expressing, a sexual magnetism? I really don't think it's something he's conjured up overnight. As for the arm drape, I'm sure everyone's reading too much into it - that's just a way of getting someone else in the camera shot, showing a bond between singer and band. I was lucky enough to see them perform together at the Metro - it was UNREAL, and I just enjoyed it for what it was - great music, great show, a good positive thing. Comparisons can't help, imho.

Anyhoooooooo, I love Michael, and i really wish it was him up on stage on sunday night. I also love Jon Stevens. If it wasn't for him, would we have seen INXS perform on sunday night??, would INXS have played the 4 prevous concerts with out him??, I think not. I really admire him for what he has done, he would have known people would compare him to Michael and im sure he would have known how much he may get criticised. All INXS fans have been waiting for this for a long time, to see them perfom, and to see them perform our favourite songs, and now that INXS have felt that they were ready to perform, and now that they have performed, now people (not all INXS fans) are criticising Jon. They can't have it both ways!!!. Just stop criticising, and be happy for INXS and Jon. Michael would have been SOOOO happy for the guys and he would have been behind them 100%. Im sure he would have been looking down over them as they were performing and singing along with Jon. There is deffinately NOOOOO WAY Jon was trying to be Michael!, I haven't seen much of Noiseworks, but when i was watching MTV's Greatest Hits, Noiseworks has been on a few times, and each time there, i got a little confused!!. The reason why i got a little confused is because back then (when Noiseworks were a band) Jon and Michael looked very much alike, not alot but enough to think "hang on a sec!, that looks like Michael!!" but it is not ofcourse but i have seen enough of Noiseworks to see that Michael and Jon are very similar. But for you people overseas where Noiseworks weren't well known, it might look like Jon is trying to be like Mike, but the thing is... He isn't!, He is just being his normal self. IT isn't just the looks that makes them look the same, well certainly not now anyway, but back in the late 80's they looked very similar. They both move the same way, and they both have the same singing style. Anyway all i know is I am going to be behind INXS and Jon 100%, and I love them all! (Including Michael ofcourse!!)

As to Savage Garden i think they look more like the Backstreet Boys every day...their first album was great and the second was very bad...but playback???? There was only 1 thing that put me down, was it just my opinion or Midnight Oil had more cheers than INXS?? I think they are great but INXS is another world...

We all love a fantastic band, so let's get our web sites working for us. I know video via the web is far from perfect, but it's better than nothing. I still agree though, that the USA tv channel need a good ear boxing ;) Love ya all, Brett. PS . . . . Who fancies doing some recording of INXS songs?

I think the band did a fabulous job-for what little I saw of the act-and they sounded great! MUCH better than Terence Trent D'arby. I really liked Jimmy Barnes' performance, but for some reason all i could think was "Good Times" and the poofy hair back then. The new do' was a little surprising, but it fits him very well.

This is the most entertaining the list has been in ages!!! It all seems to be back on track with INXS as the topic of conversation and it's opened up some great avenues for discussion. Dennis, the elephant turd thing cracked us up!!! I still can't believe NBC though. Was the U.S. the only country in the world who missed out??? I was glad to see Jay say the Canadian coverage was excellent (proud of my old stomping grounds) ........... and hope that's the last time the U.S. makes fun of Canadian T.V.!!! The other thing I have to ask is......... how many commercials aired on NBC during the ceremonies? I do love being over here in Oz as we can state that during the closing ceremonies there may have been one or two if any. Go Channel 7!!! Anyway, again everyone, keep it up. After all the sadness that has prevailed over the last few weeks, it's great to see y'all fired up again!!! Sherrianne who now gives way to her better (so he proclaims and 50% of the time I tend to agree) half..... :) N.B.C. - Nothing But Commercials. I read an article in the Australian today that says that you Americans watched this Olympics the least since the one in Mexico City.....Apparently only 13.8 points (whatever that means) and you watched the Atlanta Olympics to the tune of something like 21.6 points. So it seems the reason they didn't play parts of the closing cermony including the INXS bit was that no one was actually watching it!! Further to my last email I'd like to discuss a few more related topics. To me I thought it would be in the bands best interest's to not have Jon Stevens compared with Michael H all the time.........it's a "fight" Jon or anybody else (including the rest of INXS) they choose as guest lead will never win. There are some on the list who make this all too clear LOL. To avoid this INXS could be hitting the parts of there catalogue that are in the shadows.....or they could be redoing some of there more popular tunes distinctly different vocally etc,. Covers or new stuff, different instruments etc. Towards the time MH went on his eternal journal, INXS commercially were a spent force compared with the headier days of KICK and X. It seems to me INXS are still however a band concerned with their commercial viability. At the moment they seem to be just experimenting or flirting with ideas that have been in the press on the list etc for the past 3 years. It seems to me that out of the 110 000 people at the gig about 90 000 of em probably didn't give a stuff about INXS.....out of the other 20 000, 10 000 of em were thinking......Jeez Michael looks different since I seen 'im last.... another 5000 were thinking, you know that's not bad, ashame about Michael. And the last 5000 were thinking, INXS is good while they chair danced. Jon Stevens was probably thinking, "who'd of thought I'd be playing with INXS at the Sydney Olympics, man now Noise really works!". INXS were probably just happy to be there, happy to be playing at home literally in front of 110 000 people and the rest of the world (except the United States). INXS by playing with Jon Stevens are hinting that they are not finished yet.......they are still using there monicker and Jon Stevens is carefully noted by everyone official as the Guest vocalist. Maybe even Jon likes it that way. They could continue just rolling out the hits live in an auto-tribute kind of fashion for a long time. There will always be the hanger on'ers or the mildly curious "I heard these guys on the radio the other day". But whether it's Jon Stevens or someone else sooner or later the only thing really interesting they can do is release some new stuff. You can only chain creativity so long before it dies. Maybe INXS are paying attention to how people react to these gigs or maybe they ain't, I'm sure the people who look after their money are extremely interested. But the real test will only come out of a studio release. Only in those terms will they find out whether MH's ascension was also INXS' ascension. I'd like to think that INXS want to have a much bigger back catalogue then they already do. For the moment they obviously think Jon Stevens is a good singer, and Jon doesnt mind tweakin out an INXS tune now and then. That's not a bad arrangement really, if only for fun.

I was disapointed and shocked that they didn't. Right > in the city he was born! > Shame on you INXS! I have to disagree with you here, Dale. First, *when* would they have been able to announce that they'd dedicated their performance to Michael? Granted, I'm in the US and didn't see everything the rest of the world did, but really, did they even have a chance to make a little statement? It seemed to me like people appeared on stage, did their thing, and then were moved quickly off to make way for the next act. Second, I don't think it was at all necessary to dedicate their performance to him. After all, INXS was and is more than just Michael, and to constantly bring him up seems to me to just highlight the fact that he's not there. I think his absence speaks for itself; no one thinks they're going to forget him, so why must they make some sort of public acknowledgement of him every single time they appear? I think that would grow VERY tiresome if I were them (not to mention emotionally unhealthy), regardless of how much he doubtless meant to each of them. I guess what I'm saying is, they have to move on, and I think they are trying to move on. One really effective way to do this is to just look to the future, and stop being maudlin by constantly dredging up the past. INXS don't "owe" anyone, NOT EVEN MICHAEL, anything! He left them by his own hand, so honestly, if they just want to get on with things (it has been almost 3 years!!!), I say go for it, and more power to them. It just seems to me like this attitude, "how dare they not dedicate the performance to Michael?!?" is just one more way for people to carp and complain. Like someone (I can't remember who, sorry!) pointed out, they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. There's no way, with comments like the one above being made, for them to ever please anyone. Frankly, I'm glad that lately they seem to be just focussing on what they as a band want and need to do. As a fan, I support them in whatever they choose. They got to where they are without my advice, and I'm sure they can continue to have a fulfilling, successful career without me (or some other fan) second-guessing their every move. I'm thrilled that they got Jon Stevens to sing with them. I think he did a great job, and if he sticks around on a more permanent basis, so much the better. Do I care that he "dared" to drape his arm around Tim? NO! Do I care that he may have danced in a way that some thought was reminiscent of Michael? NO! I'm just glad he's there at all. I think we should all just be pleased with what we've got. Nothing will bring Michael back. It's time to move on (hell, it's *been* time!), embrace the "new" face of INXS (whoever that may be), and enjoy the music--the reason we're all fans in the first place.

I promise this will be my last thing on this topic... lol BUT, wasn't the point of the performance to be playing for all the athletes and others connected to the Olympics in some way, (i.e., they were playing to honor those in the Games themselves)? If so, saying "this is for Michael" would have sort of been a slap to the athletes (IMHO).

Having seen him live at the Metro, I can tell you, you won't be disappointed at all, please GET OVER MICHAEL! for god's sake. I know its hard, hey he is my hero too, but we gotta move on. INXS did not choose for Michael too go and knock himself off so why shouldn't they be able to play the songs that made them one of the biggest bands in the world. Michael chose (even though he was off his head at the time) to end it. Let the boys be happy and support them. Jon Stevens is one of Australia's great Singer/songwriters so anything he produces in the future with Andrew will be very special, sure it wont sell millions cos they haven't got the profile they once had but it will be awesome. And if you can't possibly get over Michael, go and listen to the 12 and a half songs he gave you last year and be happy. Cos right now I couldn't be happier being a mad INXS fan.

I'm sure on some Rolling Stones list, people are still carrying on about Michael doing his Mick Jagger impersonation of how Mick would put his arm aroud Keith!! Or on some Doors list about how Michael did his Jim Morrison impersonation... etc. I think it would be sad if they stopped because they just copped shit no matter what they did.

Ok, I've come out of lurk mode to comment on the choice of song for the closing ceremony, Jon Stevens and people's opinion on this subject. For those who thought that the boys playing "What You Need" was a poor choice, I think have missed the point of the whole closing ceremony. The closing of the Olympic Games is for the host country to celebrate and for the athletes to party.... What You Need was HUGE in Australia and it broke the boys in the US market. It is also a great song to get any party going!!! And it certainly did that. I wasn't fortunate enough to attend the closing ceremony, but I've been told it got the crowd going. EVERYONE loved it.... My personal opinion is that the song was a fabulous choice and that Jon Stevens did a fantastic job. I saw them at the Mercury Lounge in May, and they totally rocked. Jon has never once stated that he is trying to replace Michael. He is just trying to do what is the best for the rest of the boys. Of course there will be comparisons (Hell the music is exactly the same... Go figure!!! How did that happend???!!! LOL), but I think we should be applauding loudly that Jon has been brave enough to get out there and help bring the boys back on stage where they belong, and where we as fans can hear our favourite songs live again.... Jon always points out that he is just a singer and the rest of the band are the INXS that we all want to see.

I'm sorry but I don't see how you can call yourself an INXS fan. Tell me, was it Michael that started the band? I don't think so! Was Michael the only person in the band? I don't think so! There are 6 other people to INXS. We all loved Michael, but INXS had and still have more members than just Michael. How do think the guys are going to feel having fans tell them they should call themselves something else after years on being together because Michael has gone! In fact, Michael would probably be horrified at that suggestion. I think you need to sit down and think who is important here, you or the band, after all they knew Micahel and my guess is you didn't.

Louise From: "Michael & Sherri" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Friday, October 06, 2000 5:48 AM Subject: INXS: Re: Olympics / Jon Stevens / Choice of song My personal little opinion of this is that while I think Jon was great, as long as they are doing "old" INXS tunes they are, in effect acting as a cover band of INXS songs in a way (as in no matter how fantastic they play, they will never sound the same). INXS performing cover tunes of INXS........... how can they win that one? Until they write some new material and WOW us as they have done time after time, Jon Stevens will always be in the shadow of what has been............ sad but true. Now, imagine a new album, new songs, new attitude with Jon and Jon only (or who ever else they decide on) and no comparisons being made between Jon and Michael only comparisons between the last album and this one as there have always been. I know it's too much to hope for, the "new" INXS will always be compared to the "old" INXS but at least the arguments can be fair ones and revolve more around the music and the lyrics as opposed to who looks better in leather........ Jon or Michael!!! That argument is getting a little silly. I also believe that if they are going to release an album of old stuff hidden in the vault, they better do it soon and get it over with or it will all be too late. It's been three years already, time for them to get moving and decide whether they are still INXS or whether it's time to call it a day. How can they do that with fans judging them all the way for their "lack of Michael" when it wasn't their choice for Michael to leave? Give them a break and let them get on with the music........... cause isn't that's what we are all here for? Sherrianne Talon From: "Michael & Sherri" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Friday, October 06, 2000 6:51 AM Subject: INXS: Re: Olympics Well a few more things to discuss. Firstly I'd just like to pose an interesting question, don't know if anybody else has mentioned.... And please those who are sick of hearing about Michael don't get offended (He rests in Peace regardless of the number of times we mention him here on the list). What do you think INXS would have played if Michael was still alive? And what do you think they would have played with TTD on lead vocals (This was unlikely considering he's not Australian, might be the very reason they chose Jon Stevens for there lead recently). It might be interesting to ponder that, you might even learn something about yourself just by answering that hypothetical ditty. Secondly the Jon Stevens impersonating Michael thing.......even I may have used that word loosely. It is true that lead Singers who don't play an instrument other than their voice tend to have similar poses or bodily gestures on stage. They often find that they just have to use their hands cause everybody else around them is using their hands. Jim Morrison even decided to grab on to something self indulgent at a gig if you believe the movie LOL. You often tend to find too that lead singers who don't often play a second instrument tend to be noted more for their looks and sex appeal then the ones who do. Their poses tend to be more creative and they can woo an audience (esp the feminine component) much more easier then a guy sitting at a piano and singing for instance. Thirdly, it occurs to me the more I think about it, that all INXS are really doing right now, ..... is keeping there hands warm and their instruments in tune. "Practising" as it were, it's clear that they wish to continue but the time frame of certain events simply is not known to anybody other then INXS, maybe not even INXS LOL.. You could argue that who needs practice with a song they have collectively done over 2000 times? And you'd be right but that's not what they are practising for I guess. Michael Talon My personal answer to my own question, in all cases they would have chosen What You Need.

Markus From: "Nanci Lamb Roider" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Friday, October 06, 2000 6:22 PM Subject: INXS: Let's pretend... Hi guys, I think the notion that INXS playing without Michael renders them an INXS cover band totally ludicrous. After all, Michael didn't write all the songs, and even if he had, who cares? it still took the other 5 guys to play 'em! But I digress... This whole idea did spark a question in my mind though, for those who do think of any non-MH INXS song as a cover, would you still feel this way if he'd left the band to do solo work? Or if he'd been fired for some reason? In other words, if he were still alive, but no longer a part of INXS, how would you feel about them playing the music they originally recorded with him? Really, I think this was a very real possibility. We all know that Max Q was a thinly disguised solo album, an then there was the "real" solo album. I've also heard more times than I could count that he wanted to leave the band several times. Let's say he did, then what? Does that negate all the hard work of the other guys over the last 20 years? Does 1 band member leaving have the power to make the rest of the band just cover artists? If so, are these bands cover bands then? They all had original members leave, but had the gall to insist on keeping their name and playing their older stuff. 10,000 Maniacs Van Halen AC/DC The Beatles (Stu did leave, ya know!) Genesis, a cover band twice over, I suppose! Rolling Stones Depeche Mode Def Leppard Lynyrd Skynyrd (sp?) Red Hot Chili Peppers Manic Street Preachers Oasis (a "cover band" an on-and-off monthly basis, it seems!) U2 (OK, a stretch and some deep U2 trivia here, but Dik Evans *was* a member of The Hype!) Tears for Fears Bon Jovi Barenaked Ladies The Who The Grateful Dead Led Zeppelin ...and I could go on and on... --Or conversely, is Sting doing a Police cover whenever he plays Every Breath You Take, or some other Police song?

I don't agree with their opinions at all. so much in fact, that I choose not to respond or comment because I know that no matter what I say, I will not be understood. for one thing, I would not be considered a REAL and TRUE INXS fan if I did (according to carole's standards). anyhow, they are entitled to their opinions regardless of what they are. I don't agree, so I find it easiest to just let them have their opinions and go on with my life. that goes for everyone else too. if I don't agree with what someone says, then I just let them have their opinion and I'll just think of something a little more positive to talk about. I'm not saying that I'm always right. but if someone else believes something I don't, why should I try to change their mind? that's impossible and also ridiculous. ok, let me state a fact. this is not my opinion. this is how it is: INXS CAN AND WILL DO WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT TO DO! if at some point you cannot accept that, then you are no longer a REAL and TRUE INXS fan. and that's also a fact. eric reed ps, someone complained about jon stevens having short hair and being pudgy. but I'll bet you a million dollars that if he had long hair and was skinny, that same person would cite that as another example of how he's trying to copy michael hutchence. thank god for short-haired pudgy fellows! maybe I could sing for INXS! nah... ===== got milkshake? get to know eric reed at: http://www.members.tripod.com/skippythefrog/skippy.html From: "Gwen Hutchence" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Friday, October 06, 2000 7:20 PM Subject: INXS: Re: INXS at the olympics(Gwen's opinion) Hi Carole!

Mark From: "Jay Rawding" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2000 8:42 AM Subject: INXS: Re: Let's pretend... I just wanted to clarify my own opinion, since Nanci's stance on the issue is a lot more clear to me now. Yes, I *WOULD* classify what INXS is doing right now as placing them in the cover band category, and yes I would feel the same if Michael had not died and instead had pursued a solo career outside of the band but the other 5 members continued to perform their old songs. The reason? Well, mainly that the lead singer would not be singing the songs. No, to answer Nanci's question, I do not consider the Rolling Stones or Def Leppard as cover bands, because the lead singer has stayed the same, even though some of the other members in the band have changed. Therefore, in my opinion, bands like the Stones and Def Leppard can and should perform their older material. *AND* I don't consider Van Halen or Genesis as cover bands either, because once their lead singers were no longer members of the band, they mostly (if not only) performed new material with their respective new lead singers. And yes, when Sting is doing a Police cover, he is literally singing a cover. But let's not forget that in the run of his concert, an overwhelming percentage of the musical content is from his solo career, and not from his days with the Police, so overall I would not consider him a cover singer. I'll admit, I've been pondering Nanci's question about whether I'd feel the same if Michael had been fired from the band or not. That may yield a different answer as to whether they would be a cover band or not. An excellent question though, one not easily dismissed. Again though, even if they continue to perform MH era songs, it's not like I'll stop listening or stop enjoying the music, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed they weren't at least *trying* to perform new material. I would also like to say that, while some of the recent potshots on the list have been out of line (real and true fans?, etc. -- give me a break), the discussions about the future of the band have been quite good, and I would suggest if it goes past the "one week" mark, so be it. Now that the Olympics have ended, it's not like we have much else to discuss anyway.

Hey guys, What I am saying and no one can disagree on this point is............. they don't sound the same. Now remember I'm one of the ones who believe that INXS should go on and on and on with whoever they decide to play with. I'm not one who believes they should change their name because they are STILL INXS!!! What I'm saying is........ when they play INXS songs that were written and first performed with Michael, the lead singer they choose to have play with them IS covering an INXS song, he just happens to be playing with INXS. Until the band continues on and writes new material............. like all the bands you mentioned................... people will not take them seriously. It's been 3 years!!!! Come on now........ if AC/DC were still playing the same songs as they did at the beginning upteen years later.......... would you still be listening? What a boring world it would be. I was not insulting INXS, just stating the obvious.................. if they are going to carry on, then carry on. They can't continue to play the same songs over and over and over again at gigs and expect people to still want to listen. I'm sorry, What You Need was a fantastic Michael song. It was interesting with Jon once......... I don't care to hear it again. I want some new stuff!!! At concerts, I want old stuff mixed in with new stuff but mostly new songs, new emotions.

"it's only time that makes you." this probably means that INXS had faded out for the most-part by the making of this album because it wasnt the 80's anymore, and since they were considered an 80's phenomenon (ok i cant spell) the transfomation to the 90's was a bit hard on all of them, ecspecially michael. i watched the 'behind the music' yesterday on michael for about the 50th time, and it has become clear to me a few things. i think michael felt the need to be successful because of all their hard-work in the earlier years that got unrecognised. he thought if they worked hard enough then, it would all pay off for the rest of thier career- as one-minded capricorns tend to think (ok, he almost was a capricorn, so blah.) he kept striving and working and writing and performing to please, but once the people didn't seem to care anymore, he worked, wrote, and performed to please HIMSELF and didn't really care about anyone else. that's why the less-successful albums are some of the best, because he and all the rest of the band had come to the realisation that just doing what they loved to do was good enough, and if people liked it that was just an extra bonus. i don't really think they cared when people were calling them has-beens, i don't think it got to anyone but michael--who didn't want to be seen in that light, ecspecially since nothing else was going on well in his life at the time. when i speak of them in the people calling them "has-beens" era, i'm saying 1990-1995. in 1997, i think they were a lot more confident with what michael called "a good INXS record".you can even see in michael's face in the interviews, concerts, etc. that he was happy with his career at this point in his life, therefor i dont think his career was a part of him killing himself, if he did. you know, that rises a whole other topic to discuss, but i'll get into that some other time when i can't think fo anything else better to do than to entertain all you with my "its all be said before" posts. hope i made since and made a point to those who never saw one in the first place. see ya! erica From: "Nanci Lamb Roider" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2000 10:50 AM Subject: INXS: Just to clarify...

I don't understand how some people are calling them a cover band for performing their own songs!!!! I don't think it's fair to the guys, just because Michael isn't here doesn't mean that the rest of the guys can't play the songs they also wrote and that they love. I know that know one can ever replace Michael Hutchence, i am sure that to all INXS fans Michael will always be the greatest but i must say that i will be very happy that someone will be singing with INXS keeping Michael's songs alive, bringing the joy we all had listening to them with Michael to lot's of people, have you imagined the possible new fans that won't be able to listen to mystify, need you tonight, original sin, don't change...... if the guys don't go on and sing them again together with new stuff of course? I am a fan of INXS for 10 years, and unfortunately i could never see them live, i'm from Portugal and INXS only played once here in 1993, 300 kms away from my house, i wish i can see them live and listen to new songs but also the songs i love for a long time, i know it's not going to be the same but it's surely the best i can get. So i hope the guys go on with JS or any other good singer( not TTD please), and there's still an issue that nobody even mentioned, JS has not been presented as the new INXS singer, so far he is just the guest, but i hope he stays... I just hope if JS keeps the job, that he takes it because he loves the music and because they can be music soul mates, i wouldn's want to see for sure a new INXS singer in it for the money, cause wether or not you believe this, INXS will always sell ok(maybe not as many as years ago), but don't forget that INXS sells all over the world and probably can tour it again so there will be lot's of money anyway. So far it seem like JS really respects INXS and enjoy the music and play with them so i wish they carry on together, cause they still sound great!!! Rock on INXS!!!And don't forget that this doesn't mean forgeting Michael, i'll bet us the fans will never forget him, i know i won't.

All this rubbish and crap that ya'll are giving them and Jon Stevens for going on without Micahel is just that rubbish and crap. My mindset is get over it already, I mean it's been almost 3 yrs. It's time to move on. They need this time to get their feet wet and to feel confident again. And how can they feel confident if their "fans" don't seem to support what they are doing? And yes the American fans feel jilted for what NBC did with the performance during the Olympics. But, damn they (INXS) had no control over what happened. And what's done is done. Nothing can change that. It's in the past now, let's just move on and look forward to when the band does get more international exposure.

Now I know the culprit! The reason they didn't come through, and why you got no mail last Sunday, was because the pics you sent through crashed the server and I wasn't home to realize that it needed fixing. Again everyone, PLEASE recall that sending picture to the list is expressly forbidden. This is detailed in the list regs you got when you joined; it seems that I have to remind people of this a few times per year. Just think about it, if you send several large image files to the listserv, it then has to spit them out hundreds of times over. If another message comes in and tries to process during all this, everything grounds to a halt. So, basically, sending pics can amount to sending an email bomb to the list. On a less selfish note, sending images to those whose accounts have size limitations also effectively shuts down their ability to receive email, as it usually pushes them over quota. Then those people miss out on all sorts of emails that they'd otherwise have gotten. I've said it before, and will (doubtless) say it again, DO NOT SEND PICTURES TO THE INXS LIST!!!! Doing so is ground for removal from the list, though I'm not gonna do that to you Mitch, don't worry! I know you didn't realize the havoc you created! Just don't do it again. Please post the pics on a web site and then email in the URL, then everyone can see them, and no one will have computer troubles as a result. Thanks much!

So which version is this? Since I don't have the songography with me, I can't check this for sure, but I think that The Harbour was a b-side only. I recall this being on any version of Dekadance. The inxsweb.com discography seems to confirm this. I have a feeling that whoever asked you that was either misinformed or just asking if that track was on the record.

I find it absurd that this band should change their name, write new music and completely change because one member left the band. I mean, for me personally, Michael was my favorite member of the band, but my personal preference does not mean that he was actually more important than anyone else in the band. And yes, lead singers are usually the most well known and are the "face" of the band. But they are not THE band. I would love to hear new songs, I think that is a great idea. And IMHO, musicians who grow creatively MUST write new music and not stay stuck in the past. But to say that they should not perform songs that were performed by Michael........... That is unbelievable to me.

I don't think you quite got my point. first of all, I am sorry I offended anyone with the language I used (I really don't think it was "most people on the list" or "everyone", tho...) I already did apologise for that once before, and this is the last time I will say I'm sorry about that. as far as the term "REAL and TRUE INXS fans", that is not a term I came up with. for those that have been paying attention, that is a term that carole had used to describe what her and gwen were (sorry I can't quote the exact statement, but that post has been long since deleted), as opposed to the rest of us. that for any of us to accept INXS continuing without michael hutchence meant that we were not "REAL and TRUE INXS fans". I just found that absurd. I wasn't judging. I was being judged. I (as well as anyone else who accepted INXS with jon stevens) were deemed not "REAL and TRUE INXS fans" according to her statement. now, all I was stating was that if you can't accept what INXS does with their future, then how are you a fan? tim farriss even said so on INXS.com. and gosh darn it (<<< for those of you with sensitve ears), unfortunately his comments haven't been archived yet. he just said so maybe a week or 2 ago, and they haven't archived the september postings yet. anyhow, I will post that to the list as soon as I see it archived, for any non-believers out there. but my point was clearly (or so I thot...I received a few private, positive replies to that post from others who "got it") against anyone who was judging the rest of us by saying we aren't "REAL and TRUE INXS fans". I wasn't judging anyone. not even carole or gwen. they have a right to their opinions. but carole had no right to judge the rest of us by saying that her and gwen were the "REAL and TRUE INXS fans" on this list. so I think that about wraps things up. I'll post what tim said as soon as it becomes available, just so you see that the offending FACT I stated at the end of my original post did come from a higher source (haha!) eric reed ps, I HATE copy/pasting older messages (it's just too much! words words words!), but in this case I did it just in case this thread is confusing anyone. --- Dale Dick wrote: > First of Eric , yes INXS can do whatever they want to do.

Every time there’s been a big discussion I’ve held back from posting because I didn’t really feel that passionate about what was being discussed and I enjoyed reading all of the different viewpoints. Some in line with my way of thinking, some completely different. The topic of whether the band should be performing under the name INXS or not without Michael is another story. If you’d bear with me, I’d like to post my thoughts and feelings on the topic. I believe the band should perform under the name INXS. They are still INXS. They legally own the right to the name and the music. If you really want to get down to it, it’s the Farriss brothers band, they started it afterall. Michael didn’t form it. He was an integral member of the band to be sure, but it didn’t belong to him. As many of you have already said, Andrew wrote most of the songs, so they are his to do with what he pleases. What were they supposed to do when they lost Michael? Lapse into a lifelong pit of despair and in essence neglect the “baby” that they conceived and raised? Some people are acting as though the band went straight out and began performing with someone the day after Michael died. As though they had someone waiting in the wings for just such an occasion. This is neither true or practical. How dare any of us question their feelings for Michael and their loss? To insist that they change their name for the sake! of someone who has died is ridi culous. I know that sounds callous, but it is ridiculous. It doesn’t mean that they are spitting on Michael’s grave, it means that they’re smart businessmen, and they are ready to live their lives for themselves, not someone who has past on. They already have a name that’s instantly recognizable and bankable. To re-name the band would a costly and unwise move. Every member of the band has shown their grief and despair, they even went through a mourning period by not performing at all. I’m sure they weren’t able to perform, in fact I’d be willing to bet that it was hard being together right after he died. Enough time has lapsed, it has finally come to the point where they need to get back to performing together. You may not understand this, but performing with a new singer is also a way of getting past the grief. It’s similar (although, don’t think I’m trying to downplay it) to getting right back on a horse once you’ve been thrown off. Don’t you think they thought long and hard about continuing with the band? Don’t you think they had thoughts of breaking up? Don’t you think it’s difficult for them every time they walk out onto the stage, not knowing if they are going to go out and be embraced by their loving fans or get pummelled by a group of people just waitin! g to shoot them down? To basica lly lie in wait for them to see them screw up and then rub their noses in it? All because they dared to perform without Michael? It’s so hard for me to read some of the things that have been posted. I hope to god that none of the band read this list, the depth of the compassion and support for them after their loss is almost non-existent in a lot of posts. Sure there have been a lot of posts praising their performance at the Olympics, but the more “passionate” posts have been devastatingly harsh. The band is a huge part of the lives of these guys, they have a chemistry when they work together, who knows if they’ll find it with another group of guys? Being the true musicians that they are, they need to perform, so why shouldn’t they do it with those they perform at their best with? I believe their choice for current lead singer was fantastic. He is charismatic and a good singer to boot. His voice works well with the songs and they seem to enjoy performing with him. Their performance Olympic Closing Ceremonies was great, and I got a chill listening to it. I think they showed the fans a lot of consideration that they didn’t have to by having the band billed as “INXS with Jon Stevens”, instead of just “INXS”. They didn’t have to do that. It was a classy thing to do. I understand those of you who passionately love the INXS of the past, they were untouchable! The charisma, the talent, the songs! But look at the bright future they have and all of the music we (potentially) have to look forward to! I hope I'm not alone in my wish for some new music. I place my firm belief that they wouldn’t do anything to tarnish the name of the band or Michael. I give them high praise for having the guts to get out there and perform as a band. I also believe deep in my heart that Michael would be very proud of them for going on with the band, perhaps even chiding them for taking so long to do it. Afterall, that’s the Michael I remember. A kind and generous man. He wasn’t someone who would relish reading some of the posts I’ve read on this list. He was caring and loving, let’s remember that. Just my opinion. I hope my first post doesn't make me completely hated on this list. :-) CD (Who's waiting to be flamed) From: To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 5:12 PM Subject: INXS: Re: How I perceive things A post can really lose its meaning when the server being using inserts weird characters wherever there should be an apostrophe!

You are not alone in your feelings and opinions, and I'm sure that I can't be the only one who normally lurks but agrees in silence. I just had to come out and say that yes there are others who feel the same as you do and I don't believe you are in the minority. Yes, INXS was, for 20 years, six members, none more important than any other...each playing an integral and equally important role in my eyes. They have always considered themselves a "band" in the true sense of the word. And yes, as CD, Pat, and Eric have recently said, the five remaining members have every right to carry on with their music as they see fit. We can't possibly question or truly understand what the past few years have been like for them. I for one plan to support them 100%, however I can, in any desicions they make concerning their future. I hope there will be new INXS songs, and I also fervently hope to one day see the band perform those new songs, as well as any INXS songs from the past that they choose to perform. And if that does happen, whoever it may be singing those songs, I for one will be grateful and thrilled beyond words to be hearing and seeing them live again one day. Its a hope I personally need to hold onto. I admired and thought the world of Michael as much as the next INXS fan, and I was devasted the day the world lost him as much as the next INXS fan. The thought of seeing someone else up there on stage singing with INXS has been foreign to me, like something my brain just can't quite comprehend, for almost 3 years now. But the thought of the five remaining members never performing together again as INXS is even more painful and unacceptable for me to imagine. The fact remains that we all have to learn to accept and go on in our own ways. In my heart I know it would be the same for me if the world had lost any of those six men. Sorry to say, but I've wondered, especially when reading certain posts on this list, if some "INXS fans" would have reacted the same way if it was one of the other five guys that we had lost. Would those calling for disbandment still have done so? Or would they feel it was ok to replace a guitarist, or drummer, or perhaps a composer? Afterall if you consider yourself a fan of INXS, don't you have to be a fan of all six members?? Lynda C.

I give them high praise for having the guts to get out there and perform as a band. I also believe deep in my heart that Michael would be very proud of them for going on with the band, perhaps even chiding them for taking so long to do it. Afterall, that’s the Michael I remember. A kind and generous man. He wasn’t someone who would relish reading some of the posts I’ve read on this list. He was caring and loving, let’s remember that. Hi Everyone I agree with this post entirely, after all some forget, it was Michael who bowed out (accidentally or otherwise - we will never truly know) and in that moment INXS' whole world changed and this wasn't the rest of the bank had any input into - why should they have to reap the percussions of this for their entire lives - they need to move on. I personally think JS is a great choice - no MH but great none the less. He makes us Kiwis (New Zealanders) proud.

Today, I saw that FMDH was used as BG on a MTV Brazil program called "Resposta MTV" (in which you send them a e-mail asking for what you wanna see...) and after the Olympic performance, it has been more easy to see INXS tunes on radio or TV... >a special on TV5 in France where they have performed > Revolution ( actually an excellent version ).

Come on this is getting so ridiculous. I just can't understand how people have such ideas like INXS should stop etc. Andrew was ALWAYS the man musical writer for the band, and he probably still is. Writers cannot stop writing, it is a gift. And since all of them have invested more than 20 years of work, why should they drop the name. Anyway, maybe they should chose "INXS featuring Jon Stevens" or something like that. Do you people still think that would be wrong???? From: "Jay Rawding" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 1:17 PM Subject: INXS: Re: ow I perceive things Hi everyone, First off, I think CD's post is the kind we need more of on the list. Whether it had been positive or negative is irrelevant -- I'd like to see more posts like CD's: well thought out, articulate, and pertinent. CD is right when he/she says he/she hopes the band is not reading the list lately. I can remember a time when it was rumoured Tim was reading our posts. When I met him in 1997, I even asked him if he was still doing it (I already knew from other list members that he hadn't been, but I figured what the hell, it made for an interesting conversation topic, since I probably wouldn't have even been able to spell my name at that moment I was so star-struck). He said he hadn't had the time for the past few months. When Michael died two months later, I actually hoped the band *was* reading all of the emotional, heartfelt postings. I guess what I'm saying is, until we get more posts like CD's, I agree with CD: I hope the band hasn't checked here lately. And I'm not saying this to single anyone out; hell, some of my *own* posts have been fluffy, irrelevant or less than sound in nature or compassionate. I'd also like to add a point I made to someone offlist, but I might as well post it now: no matter what INXS does, *most* of the people on this list (myself included) will support them and have stated as such in their posts. Regardless of what happens, a lot of the debates are not whether or not we will continue to support them, listen to them, buy their future (?) albums, etc. It's more along the lines of what we think may happen, or what we hope will happen, despite the fact it has no impact on the band's decisions. As far as the guys keeping the band name of INXS or changing it, I think they've pretty much answered that question themselves. When the new and improved inxs.com went online, it had been done after Michael died, and has been routinely updated as the official INXS website. It has since included information on the gigs performed with TTD and JS, so I think it's safe to say that, while the debate on the issue may continue forever as far as personal preferences are concerned, it looks like the band has made up its mind. My own opinion? I think they should keep the name, provided they start performing new material. I'm pretty sure (or, at least, I *hope* I'm sure) you won't get flamed for your post, CD. How could you? You backed up all of your arguments and viewpoints, and expressed valid points of view without personally taking potshots at any one person specifically. If you have been flamed offlist, let me know, because I'll go toilet paper their house on your behalf. In a vaguely INXS-related matter, I'm a member of another e-mailing list that boasts over 1000 members. Currently, there is a hugely popular thread about what albums could be considered as "the perfect album". So, lots of lists have the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Velvet Underground, etc. But 3 or 4 so far have included INXS: one or two listed "Kick", one had "X", and one even listed "The Swing". I just think it's great that the other list, which normally has eclectic and wide-spanning musical interests, has some people who consider "Kick" on the same level as "Pet Sounds". For a while, I thought I was the only one. LOL!

Dennis From: "Linda" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 12:08 AM Subject: INXS: A late response to the Closing Ceremonies Hey one and all... I'm coming out of my usual lurk mode to add my comments to the fray...nothing bad, just my own thoughts. I'm one of those "average busy-working male joe-blow" types (albeit, you can replace 'male' and 'joe' with 'female' and 'josephine'----let's not get sexist about the working types out there, Erica-------no harm meant, just a little bit of fun) who normally reads the list mail at work during the odd moment that I'm bored or sleepy and need a reprieve and I don't respond to anything unless I go home and write. Keeps me out of trouble on the list. Ok, I'm one of those of you who were feeling as if there could be no replacement for Michael in the band. I'm a little bit nervous as to who will be the one to fill the 'big shoes'. So, I heard, via the list, of INXS' performance at the closing ceremonies and decided to tune in and see what I could see. I watched and I watched and I waited with baited breath for them to come on. Finally, I left the TV during a commercial break to take care of some home business and got called back to the TV by my boyfriend who was watching and heard them announce INXS. I went running back to the TV and sat there motionless as the band played. I watched what I could of Jon's performance and I noticed how he performed the same moves that Michael had done. I did not get the sense that he was copying the moves. My interpretation was more of an actor playing out a role in a previously performed play. If you really think about it....songs are stories and stories are told both through the voice and the body. Jon wasn't copying but was retelling the story behind the song. That's how I saw it. Then I heard the voice and while it wasn't Michael's wonderful voice, it was a new voice, again retelling the story, and doing it quite well, much to my amazement. A new voice and body carrying on an INXS 'tradition' if you will. I was not displeased. As a matter of fact, I found myself uplifted. I remember when I would hear or see music from INXS on the radio or TV before Michael's death, and how happy it would make me feel. I felt that once again the night of the closing ceremonies and it was so wonderful to feel that way once again about INXS being out there alive somewhere. I hope that once again someday INXS will be back on the airwaves with new material and if it's Jon that sings, that's ok, because I think he's the one to go on with them. I realize that he has his own band and all....so, who knows what will happen. It's all up to them after all. It wasn't just Michael's voice that was the magic of INXS, it was also that wonderful 'sound' of everyone else playing along with that voice that made it all come together. There can be new voices. It has been done before and will be done again. I hope INXS does it again. More power to 'em!! If they are to go on, well...they have to start somewhere and what better place to start then with the Olympics hosted by their home country who did not forget about them just because Michael is gone. There's much to be said about Australia's job of hosting the Olympics.....even more so because they included INXS in there right along with the rest of the bands that have helped to make a name in the music industry for Australia. On to other bits....Jon's arm slinging around Tim(?)....I missed that part, but there shouldn't be too much read into that....as more than one person on the list has noted, many singers do that....it's a way of showing the audience that there is more to the band than just the singer. If Jon can do that, then there's got to be something between him and the members of INXS. Another sign that the magic is still there. As to the choice of songs to be played, well I can't speak to that....there was a theme to the whole Australia hosting the Olympics bit that went a little deeper than that song may have been about. Which is probably why Midnight Oil's performance of 'Beds are Burning' got such a response from the audience. "Old World New World' may have fit in a little better, but was not as popular as "What You Need". It's best to keep this all in perspective...this was not about INXS...this was about Australia hosting the Olympics and the athletes themselves and what they were there to do. Australia chose to include some fine music artists to help them put on a great show for the world and to represent the country. What a great thing for INXS, to be recognized by their country even though Michael is no longer with them. What a great thing for all us fans, for one of our favorite bands to be allowed a chance to perform live again in front of the world, even though Michael is no longer there physically....he was there in spirit, in the music, in the memory, in the great dream time, even? He came and left his mark on so many of us in the world today and he shall not be forgotten, but life will go on and through the music of INXS Michael will always be there. Well, I guess that's about enough from me for a while. I'm happy...INXS is still alive and well...I hope to hear more from them...I won't be quite so nervous anymore...they've got what it takes to keep going on and that's all I need for now. If they put out new music, I will once again be waiting anxiously to hear it. And that's a good thing. I once thought INXS was dead with Michael, but now I know better. Even if they do not put out new material....I know they are there and what they have left me with is a legacy of great music to endure me for the remainder of my life on this earth.

INXS are INXS, they just happen now to have a different lead singer. If we can't accept them now as INXS, maybe they should disband and we stop this list. I say let them play on as INXS with Jon Stevens as lead singer if they wish.

I understand that michael got a lot more attention (especially from the ladies!) than the rest of the band, and I can't really complain about that. I don't really understand it, but I guess that's just me. in a sense, INXS could have been 6 monkeys and I wouldn't care! what I mean is, if those 6 monkeys could've sounded exactly the same, I would be just as happy. back in the day, I only knew of INXS from what I heard on the radio. it was their SOUND that really caught my attention. I think I even bought listen like thieves and kick without even ever having seen what the guys looked like (didn't have MTV back in those days). even if they were 6 buck-toothed, beer-bellied slobs, I would still love their music just as much. now I understand a certain amount of their success was due to their good looks (esp michael) and sense of style, etc...and I can appreciate that. I mean, I'm a guy, but I can recognise when another man has "got it", and it was easy to tell that these guys defeinitely "have it". but good looks isn't everything, especially in music. there are some pretty darn (<<< watching my language!) ugly singers/musicians out there who are pretty darn famous. I believe INXS' music is what got them success. maybe they wouldn't have had their faces pasted up everywhere so much, but I believe we would still know their music just as well, even if they were uglier than sin! anyhow, that's just how I see it. I'll always love the music! this isn't really in reply to anything, I'm just kinda blabbing! eric reed ===== got milkshake? get to know eric reed at: http://www.members.tripod.com/skippythefrog/skippy.html From: To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2000 2:07 PM Subject: INXS: Re: INXS=6 monkeys???

I have been trying not to read the whole discussion on the "michael was INXS and anyone could have been replaced except him" VS "shut up Gwen" etc...Main reason? Cause personally I am sick of the whole discussion :o) BUT- it doesn't bother me it is on the list, cause I read the subjects and delete them before opening (which anyone who doesn't want to read a string of discussion should do, and let people have their say and opinion)...SO- here is my little say before I go back and stop reading the discussion again :o) Personally, I am on the side that INXS was 6 members, not just a random 5 people backing up Michael. and that it has been publicly said that if INXS were to break up as "INXS" it would be a decision unanimously made by all 6 members. Hense, one leaves, it's not unanimous. I personally don't think any member INXS could have been easily replaced without notice. I feel each member brough to the band a uniquness, and put together created the sound we know as INXS. Diffreent people ahve different styles, and teh sond we hear coming from INXS was the combination of all 6 people's uniqu style. Any other person and their style replacing any of the ones we came to know and love would have changed the sound of "INXS" (as does the "new" sound with Jon Steven singing). I came to love all 6 members of the band, and respect them enormously. They knew and dealt with Michael on a more personal level than any one of us here would have gotten to know. And with that in mind, I feel they would be better to decide what would be best for the band and what would best keep the memory and honor of Michael, and so I support any descision they make (excpet the on where they had Terrance Tent D'arby sing LOL)... NOW, Gwen...You have a problem with INXS continuing on as "INXS" without Michael...Did you have a problem with the B-52's continuing on after Ricky died? (FYI the rest of the list- I ask this because I know Gewn loves the B-52's as well) :o) I mean, Ricky was the one who wrote all the music, he was the mastermind behind the SOUND of the B-52's...(If anyone in INXS would be compared to that, it would be Andrew)...But they continued on with Keith taking over the guitar work. Before Ricky it was 5 members of the B-52's and no one else. After Ricky passed, they had to have others tour with them to keep up the sound. You still love the B-52's right? (and they have lasted for 23 years now! - same members, just minus Ricky...I see the same happening for INXS, or hope it does!) OK- I have made this post longer than expected...I will end it there.

I'd like to post on this, only because, as a lurker, I've seen this discussion come up time after time on this list. There, of course, really isn't any answer to the issue, but I think there are some things that haven't come up that I'd like to point out. I agree with a little of what everyone has said, but I admit that I do go back and forth on the question of what INXS is/isn't without Michael. The problem is, Michael was not "INXS" alone, but he and Andrew were, for lack of better word, "key" members. I was initially attracted to INXS for three reasons: one, their sound, two, Michael's voice and lyrics, and three, their live performances. While all six made their live performances what they were (although Michael was a great frontman), Andrew, to me, was and is the integral force that creates the sound. Michael's contributions, however, were no less important, in my opinion. His voice was unlike any other and many of his lyrics were absolutely beautiful. To tell you the truth, I think we'd be having the same discussion if we had lossed Andrew and not Michael. I'm not saying at all that the other guys aren't important, but it would be very hard to imagine what the INXS sound would be without Andrew. Just as it's hard for me to imagine what the lyrics are going to be without Michael, and what the INXS sound will be without his voice. That being said, I am not at all in the camp who think that INXS should throw in the towel, change their name, not play old songs, etc., etc. I firmly believe they should continue on as INXS, and possibly even find a new lead singer who can contribute all or even more than Michael did. I'm just trying to sort out the confusion on this issue, and maybe come to an answer as to why many people find it so hard to imagine INXS without Michael.

I meant to add something to that effect in my email as well... But, as we have seen, and as the media has made more vibrant, the "LEAD SINGER" usually comes off as the "main character" and in turn, people tend to think if it weren't for them, the band wouldn't have gotten to where they were. And then there are people like us that see past the media hype of the "lead singer" and take INXS for what they truely are, 6 individuals making incredible music. And because of that, I doubt such a rousing topic would be brought up over and over if Andrew were the one to leave us, and they decided to go on without him :o( >hard for me to imagine what the lyrics are going to be >without Michael As mush as I love Michael and the beautiful lyrics he created and carried out through his voice, think about the songs we all love that he actually didn't write the lyrics for...such as Beautiful Girl, The Gift, Spy of Love, Red Red Sun etc... :o) True, those songs wouldn't have been what they are if not for his voice, but it also shows the other guys can write incredible songs too (going back to the fact that the band was 6 guys...not just 1) :o) On a side note, I realized after I sent that first email mentioning the B-52's that today marks the 15 year anniversary of Ricky's death (how freaky is that?) ...Kris (with a K) http://kriswithak.tripod.com/2001INXSodyssey.html From: "Graziella" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2000 6:07 PM Subject: INXS: Re: How I perceive things... to Pat and CD hello Gwen, i feel like answering to this post Like you i'm crazy about Michael but i think you should be less "excessive" about the other guys they did a great job together with Michael and i really loved seeing them on stage they were really a "band" and i loved ( still do !) their music too, and not only their physical appeareance..

They were able to do that because the 3 " front " people didn't change. I didn't think they were very good in the couple of time frames that they were missing Cindy. Keith tends to stay in the background as a "pesonality". The point is they didn't actually "replace" Ricky the way inxs has with substituting Jon for michael. There is no new 5th member-----only anonymous background people. I never said the other inxs members didn't contribute to make inxs the great band it became. Of course they did. I like them all. I just meant that at the point in time that michael died it would have been easier to accept the replacement of another member than to see someone else try to sing songs that only michael ever sang. And also ( at least for me) because michael's death was so tragic-----it's impossible for me to watch jon stevens play at this incredibly weak imitation of michael. When natalie merchant left 10, 000 maniacs-----I didn't care for her replacement, so i am not a fan of the "new" maniacs. That means I wouldn't buy their cds or go to their concerts. If the majority of people on this list loves Jon and wants to see him continue with inxs that's fine. I wish everyone well. I just think it should be known that there is another viewpoint. On a side note----that comment about getting a performance out of michael's pillow was very sick.

I'm with Leah on this one. It's pretty hypocritical of the band to say "don't buy Tina and Patricia's book, let Michael RIP" and then expect us to open our wallets when they get around to releasing their documentary, book, etc. Is it okay with the band for us to buy these Michael-related items as long as they're getting a share of the almighty dollar?

I wonder though, will we then hear complaints about “profiting off the work of a dead man” when such material is released, as has been alluded to by the band?

Granted, this was pre- Jon Stevens, but it does provide a little insight as to what they were dealing with: >From Andrew: “STADIUM AUSTRALIA CONCERT - JUNE 12 1999 "The main thing is I thought we played well - it sounded good and luckily for us it was well received by people. Beside how you feel yourself, it's more important that the show goes over well. We are entertainers and it's important that we entertain people, and I think we did that. Terence fitted in very well, he really did. And in the wake of Michael's death, it was a very cathartic thing for us as individuals, as a band and for our families. For me and Shelley, she knew it was a good thing for me to do it. >From Jon: “STADIUM AUSTRALIA - JUNE 12 1999 The Stadium Australia show was an extremely important event for INXS. Through it we were able to break out of a very delicate bubble we had been in since Michael passed away. Clearly we had to refocus our attention and the public's awareness back to INXS, so we could show everybody and ourselves that INXS are a really good band, an amazing band. The invitation to have Terence for a one-off event was a great idea. He really did compliment the band, but mainly for me, it was wonderful to be playing before that many people again and we played really well. I had no apprehensions on the night at all - I just really enjoyed it. From the minute we started until the minute we finished it was just a wonderful, healing, exciting experience. >From Kirk: “STADIUM AUSTRALIA CONCERT - JUNE 12 1999 " The Stadium Australia show was a really big thing for us. At that time I don't think any of us really knew where we stood on a personal level, on a confidence level or on an anything level really until that show. There had been so much negativity surrounding Michael's death, that it was fantastic to play in our home town, in our home country and have such a positive reaction. The feedback was so good that for all of us it made us feel 'okay, we do mean something - it wasn't just Hutch'. I think it was a very important turning point for all of us - I know it was for me. It was a good feeling, it sort of restored faith." >From Tim: “STADIUM AUSTRALIA CONCERT - JUNE 12 1999 "The Stadium Australia gig was a great thing for us to do, really cathartic. Looking back on it now, I remember in the first days of rehearsals I was quite nervous about how Terence was going to be. He was very quiet and reserved and I remembered him as being anything but quiet and reserved on stage - he was really quite an over-the-top performer. He was obviously incredibly nervous himself - it was such a big thing for him too. It wasn't until the actual night that I really knew it was going to be okay and that he would bust open on stage - and he did. "It was also good for us because the way that Terence sings, the emphasis he puts on the beat and his phrasing, inspired us all and I think made us sound slightly different. "The other great thing was on the first day of rehearsals, Terence stayed at the hotel to get over jet lag, so we could have a day to ourselves to get the songs together. From the very first seconds, it happened straight away for us - we were just on it. After 18 months of really not play ing, it was just bang, we sounded great. 'We played really well on the night. It was fantastic to get back on stage. It felt great. " >From Garry: “STADIUM AUSTRALIA CONCERT - JUNE 12 1999 " This show was really important to us, and selfishly it was important to us as the five members of INXS because so much shit has been written since Michael died. People saying we should just go away and it's kinda sad to read that, because we are musicians and we are good musicians and just because someone checks out, doesn't mean we should all check out. So it was a fuck you to those people. And it was great. It doesn't really matter who sings for us, we are a great band and Terence was a good choice of a singer. Whatever we do now we will just take it one step at a time, but I think the Stadium was an important thing for us to feel we are important in ourselves not just in the scheme of Australian music. It was us doing what we do best which is basically taking the bull by the horns and taking a big risk and pulling it off. " So there you have it.

In "Just a Man", it is mentioned again-but I wonder how much he meant it. I mean, at the time he made that statement, he had been on tour for quite a while, with another long leg ahead. He was tired, depressed, and missed his little girl. I am sure he meant it at that time- but, didn't I read that he was the one who brought the band back together to make "Elegantly Wasted"? I suspect that he would have taken quite a long break (which, again, I have read was the plan after the 20th anniversary tour), but would have been chomping at the bit to write music with his mates before too long. my humble opinion...

One was cos I wanted it for my birthday, for mum to give me, and it's my birthday on Friday, so I wouldn't have got it in time, and secondly, cos I'm not sure if it's the one with the added chapter on Paula or not. I wanna make sure the copy I get is, so I'd rather SEE it for myself before buying it. Also, I think the copies they have are all hardcover (hence the high price for it) so I was wondering if anyone knows if you can get it in either hard or soft cover??? Moving along now, there's two new FM radio stations in my local area, both aimed at the 18-29 population, and I haven't tuned in at all without hearing at least ONE INXS song. It's been great, and even better cos at 2:00 they have 2:00 two-ups where they play two songs form the one artist, and today they had INXS. They've been even playing INXS songs that I've never heard b4 (I don't have too many albums) but you can tell they're INXS by the distinct sound of the music and Michael Hutchence's voice.

I just felt like saying something nice about a fellow INXSlister. I feel like it's the quiet after the storm right now, everyone's hushy after a bit of arguing and such on this list, of which I've even taken part in. but here is how it is, we are all here for the same reason: WE LOVE INXS. we all obviously have wildly different opinions, but our root passion is the same. INXS' great music has brought us all together. I have had some great memories because of this list. the greatest was last year when I met 5 other listers in vegas. we had a blast! I owe a great deal of appreciation to INXS to be able to have that meeting. I find that many INXS fans have other things in common. there is something about an INXS fan that is truly unique. not only because they like INXS, but because it takes a certain kind of person to like INXS. and many of us have that special bond. I know I take that for granted, and I apologise to all of you for doing so. so I have a plan to show my appreciation. I have thought about things posted to the list recently, and I was trying to think of something I liked about someone. I decided this should be someone I don't normally talk to, since complimenting one of my closer friends on the list would not seem like such a big deal as complimenting a "stranger". so I have decided to compliment MITCH (<<< he always spells it with caps hehe). I don't believe I have ever had anything to say to MITCH before. but I have had reason to compliment him. there are 2 things I can think of to say to MITCH. so here goes: I really like your enthusiasm. even tho I am not too big on reading all the latest about paula's death and such, I think it's great that you always make time to search for articles and post them or links to them to the list. I think a lot of people on this list are more well-informed because of your efforts. even tho I often don't read the articles myself, I think it's great that you make them available for others. and your enthusiasm for the band should be noticed. the other thing I wanted to say was that I really liked the essay you wrote about the hunger artist, showing parallels between that story and INXS/michael hutchence. I thot it was very well-written and I kept a copy of that on my puter for future reference. so that's it. I can think of a ton of other things I appreciate about several other listers, but I thot maybe I would leave that up to others to take part in. maybe everyone could think of something nice to say about a fellow lister? compliment someone you've never responded to before. or maybe someone you consider your enemy, or whom you disagree with a lot. and if you get complimented by someone, instead of giving them a compliment back, pass it on to someone else. that way everyone gets a chance. I bet you can find something nice to say about everyone, and I bet everyone would appreciate having a compliment tossed their way. but if we all compliment a random person on the list, it won't be long before everyone gets a compliment back at them. give it a try! eric reed ===== got milkshake? get to know eric reed at: http://www.members.tripod.com/skippythefrog/skippy.html From: "Harradine & Norris-Green" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 12:20 AM Subject: INXS: Re: E!

I also enjoyed reading that post by Princess Leia, the one about Paula being such a rat. I don't know that I agree that Bob is not as bad as we think he is but I do think Paula has a lot to answer for. She has been so irresponsible - however, I still feel sorry for her. But poor Tiger, fancy being brought up by two complete strangers. I know she has three half-sisters but they cannot bring her up. Also, as she is the youngest, there will probably come a time when she is left home alone with Bob to look after her. I hope this isn't part of some evil plan by Bob. I'd like to thinknot. He was so intent on destroying Michael and Paula in the early days of their relationship and threatened to take custody of Tiger. I guess we can't do anything about it. Although I am sure you and I would be only too pleased to look after Tiger! I am still feeling pretty low but I just have to keep going. Now is a bad time because my brother, sister and I have to go through all of dad's belongings. That is a very emotionally draining thing to do. I would like to start up our video of the week watching again - what do you think would be a good choice?

Paula does have a lot to answer for, and God knows she is doing that now. But Tiger is not being raised by strangers. Bob is like a close uncle to her. She has spent plenty of time at his house over the years. A lot of Hutchence fans suspect Bob of all kinds of things; after all, he was the villian in the triangle. But was he really anything other than the ex-husband? I used to blame him a lot too, but I have had to re-evaluate. First of all, it has become more and more apparent to those paying attention that Paula was lying to Michael about Bob's role in things because she needed Michael to play the white knight. If you have a white knight, you have to have a villain. A lot of Hutchence fans bought Paula's lies just as Michael did. I have pointed out over and over that Bob didn't make the decision to keep the kids in England, the court did. The fact that Michael called up Bob just before he died shows the extent to which he had bought Paula's lies. The court ruled that the girls needed to stay in England until the school term ended just before Christmas. That would have been ONE MORE LOUSY MONTH that Michael and Paula would have had to wait. Now why was that so horrible? Isn't education more important than any vacation or visits? And Michael had chosen to go on tour with the band. He could have quit the band and stayed in England if being in a family 24 hours a day was his main priority. Let's re-open the 1994 drug incident, where opium was found in Paula and Michael's place, but the charges were dropped because they weren't there and other people were in the house. Paula and the press and several of Michael's friends blamed Bob, accusing him of trying to set them up to get custody of the kids away from Paula. In light of Paula's death from an alcohol and heroin overdose, does anyone believe anymore that that incident was anything other than Paula getting caught with drugs and lying to get out of it? It seems pretty obvious to me now. Bob has spent years coming in and picking up the pieces for Paula. He has been a constant rock for the girls, not only his own but Tiger too. They were incredibly lucky to have one responsible adult around them, who put their needs before anything else. It's time to admit we were all wrong about Bob.

Patricia From: To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 2:02 PM Subject: INXS: Re: The real Bob Geldoff One more thing!!!!!! :P''''''''' I always think that Paula enjoyed being the "one in the middle" between two celebrities, fighting over she and her life. What a great place for someone so "media-hungry" as Paula appeared to be. And I believe (IMHO) that yes, she fueled the fire between Michael and Bob because she enjoyed the chaos. Some folks thrive on endless chaos, it is another "high" for them. And I think Michael had reached such a low place in his life, with the drugs and whatever other demons plagued him during that last bit of time, that he could not change his way of thinking about Bob. And I also think that IF PAULA CARED SO MUCH, she could have taken some $$$ and accompanied Tiger to OZ, left her there with Michael & family, and gone back to London to spend Xmas with her other kids if that is what she needed to do. Yes, it would be hard to separate one of your kids from the other 3 at Xmas, but "real" moms and dads do it all the time. Why didn't she do that???? IT would have solved all sides' problems.

I understand that sometimes people hit "send" without double checking that "to" field, and it can be really embarrassing at times. We've all done it, and I'm afraid, we're all destined to do it in the future. So, I can understand why people email me and ask me to remove messages before they're processed. However I'd like to stress that this is rarely an effective way to deal with it. The list messages come in to my server and are processed all *without* my watching them. If I get a "please delete this" message *and* happen to be online right when that pleading email comes in, *and* the message hasn't already begun to spin itself out, I can do it. HOWEVER, the odds of my being here, online and reading email, and also being able to stop the message before it enters the processing mode are very slim. My point is, please don't feel bad or surprised if you ask me to stop a message and then see it appear via the list a few minutes later. I am not purposefully ignoring your calls for help, I just can't be online and checking my email 24/7. So in the future, I'd like to me ask everyone to double check their "to" fields before hitting send. I'd love to always be able to recall a message if the sender wishes, but it rarely works out that way. Thanks for your understanding!

I've felt the same way for a long time, but I could think of a coherent way to post on the subject. Paula has always seemed to be a manipulator in my opinion and it seemed logical that she would continue to do so with Michael. Spouses are usually bitter towards each other when they are going through a divorce, so it makes sense that she would try to garner as much sympathy from Michael as she could.

none of us knew paula, bob, or michael. i know ive said this a million times before but i still feel the need to say things like this when this sorta thing comes up. i believe paula and michael did do some drugs, but wasn't it said from close friends and family that neither were known to indulge in opium?? i dont believe michael or paula were junkies. but they were both very rock and roll. i wont deny they lived that lifestyle, but they weren't 2 stupid people who would just leave opium in a drawer for someone to find! i do belive someone was out to get them, maybe not bob, but someone. also-- saying that paula died from drugs has nothing to do with the opium. paula was very depressed at the time she died. she, im sorry to say, but was so messed up she didn't know any other way. none of us were paula, therefor we cannot comprehend how she was feeling or why. im sure she had her reasons. yes, paula was very possessive and did lie to michael. what the heck, what good does it do us saying that now?? lets just let michael and paula reat in peace, ok? im sure its topics like these that keep them lingering on. and if the michael haunting bob stories are true, dont you think he's still around because he feels there are still questions to be answered? that is wrong. there are not still questions to be answered. all that is known is what needs to be known. we are the ones who find the need to know EVERYTHING. i dont know what it is but some people cannot handle not knowing the complete truth about something. we hear some stories, we form an opinion, we strain ourselves to the point of physical stress to try and support that opinion by finding cold hard facts, and then we go on ranting what we believe to be true because it makes us feel better. i know this is natural, but ive wondered and thought and read all i need to about michael and paula and this whole big triangle, that its gotten to the point where i just try not to think about it and let it go. i think its important to learn to do that, ecspecially with a person like michael. there are too many mysteries that are none of the public's business and remain with michael/paula, wherever they are. and thats the way that its meant to be... erica From: "Erica Nicole" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 7:43 PM Subject: INXS: e: compliment a fellow INXSlister! hello everyone and jennifer! shucks *gets all red faced* thanks, youre pretty cool too jen:) well i'd have to recognize angusted because he has a cool name (hehe), he always gives us little up-to-date tid-bits on magazines with inxs related things and where to get them ect., and goes to the trouble of scanning (for those of you who know what im talking about) all those wonderful pictures from magazines for us! some of which we should not see, but are um...happy, i guess, to just have around just for the fact that it is along the inxs lines...lol. love ya man, erica p.s. love u too, jen! lol > >lol, >I think this is so cool! we just went from a time of fighting to every one >complimenting eachother, I think it's awsome:) Well Then I will have to >recognize Erica(inxsbeautifulgirl) because she has always kept her cool and >just tried to remind everyone that this is for INXS, and to not jump down >everyones backs:) > >~Jennifer From: "Erica Nicole" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 8:06 PM Subject: INXS: Re: compliment a fellow INXSlister thank you for wanting to compliment me!! :) lol. i wanted to compliment nanci too, believe it or not. have a happy day! a very appreciated erica From: "eric reed" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2000 2:09 AM Subject: INXS: Re: compliment a fellow INXSlister! hehe I was almost going to compliment angusted. just because he gives me a challenge trying to translate his messages. but I thot it wouldn't be fair since I did make a comment to him about a year ago and I tried (quite poorly) to mock his writing style, as a tribute. hehe, just thot I'd share. eric reed ===== got milkshake?

From various interviews we have learned she was a sweet, kind and lovely person most of the time. That doesn't change the fact that she was a junkie. Before my older sister died she was also junkie whose drug of choice was heroin, in one week it will be the 3rd anniversary since she passed, she would have been 34 this year. I am not a novice in having dealings with people who have terrible drug problems. They can be the nicest people on the face of the earth.

I think erica made some really good points in her statement. I think it's pretty sad to lower yourself to mocking her. she's not trying to tell anyone what opinion to have. but, like me, apparently she is getting tired of all the negativity on this list. I mean, I understand people have opinions and they can sometimes be negative (we all do), but when 90% of the posts are getting to be about custody battles, drugs, suicide, etc...it just gets to be a little...obnoxious. at least that's how it is for me, and I'm guessing for erica too. and I'm sure there are some others out there who feel the same. obviously not everyone feels the same. I realise there are also some people who prefer talking about the negative stuff because it's more interesting to them. maybe it makes their own life seem not so bad or something. I don't know. and that's fine for them... erica was just stating how she sees the situation for herself. I think her statements were quite deep for a 13 year old. I know that at age 13 I wouldn't have had the mind to have her optimism and idealism. so what if she's doing a report on michael? shouldn't we be happy that someone likes michael enough to do a report on him? I mean, maybe he's not as important to everyone else as is abraham lincoln or whoever, but so what??? it's just a report for school. she's 13...and at 13, who really cares about abraham lincoln? anyhow, as far as stealing gum and scribbling on yearbooks, that is bad stuff for a 13 year old. she shouldn't be mocked for doing things like that. that's like saying, "that doesn't impress me! go out and do some drugs and get pregnant and then maybe we'll have something to talk about!" we should be glad that stealing gum and such seems bad to her. she'll turn out to be fine upstanding citizen (hehe)! age is nothing to condescend. we've all been there. personally, I admire erica for what she said. I wish I was as perceptive when I was 13. maybe I would have turned out a little better! hehe and my whole point of complimenting others and having it spread on the list was just so, for at least a brief moment, we could all be positive and see the good things in others. I'm glad some people picked up on it. I would have liked to see more people take advantage of it, but oh well... erica said what she has to say. she didn't personally attack anyone on the list. no need to attack and mock her. if you don't agree, then fine. disagree if you must. I just think I'll move onto something else now. tired of drugs and suicide and stuff. eric reed ===== got milkshake? get to know eric reed at: http://www.members.tripod.com/skippythefrog/skippy.html From: "eric reed" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Friday, October 20, 2000 2:11 PM Subject: INXS: SOTW and VOTW??? hiyas! ok, did I miss something? whatever happened to song of the week and video of the week?

What would be a good topic for this list? That’s a toughie, A lot of ground has been covered already. How about this: If you could see INXS (any incarnation) in any setting, where would it be, when would it be, who would you invite to the show, who would you have open up for them and what song would you make as your special request? For me: Incarnation, doesnt matter (I like both), I would have them play the John Anson Ford Theatre here in Los Angeles. Its a small outdoor venue in the hills across from the Hollywood Bowl. Since I couldnt have them play now, I would have them perform right after X came out. I would invite everyone I could think of, this list included of course, I would have either You Am I or 30 Odd Foot of Grunts (should Russell be available, they put on a smokin live show!) open up for them. As my special request……Burn For You. Any takers for the new topic? PS Sorry about the lack of apostrophes.

You would serve yourself better if you stopped being nasty, condescending, and cutting down people on this list. Both Erica's and Mitch's reports on Michael Hutchence and INXS should be supported, not cut down. The point that Erica made was that she didn't want people talking badly about her and remembering all the negative things that she has done. Does Erica need to lay in a pool of vomit to make a point? I'm glad her life does not parallel Paula's. Little difference my foot. What in the post eluded to serial killers not having enough INXS? No one is perfectly good and no one is entirely bad. Many people have the conviction that to trash a person after they die is wrong. I do, they are not even here to put the facts straight. Since when did any member of INXS cannibalize a person and go to death row? Listen, everyone on this list, sarcasm is very rarely fun humor when you are putting down another person.

I meant what I said quite seriously, but I was cranky and rude. Let me tell you a little about me, and maybe that will show you why I said what I said. I spent my early years out of high school playing in bands and running around the world having fun. I got high, I partied, I had no responsibilities. I supported myself on art and never paid a dime in taxes. Then one day, I decided that being a washed-up bummed out cabaret artiste (as Mick Jagger once said) was no way to live, and I went back to school. I am now nearly finished a graduate degree. I suddenly found myself raising my 15-year old nephew, who comes from a home riddled with drug and alcohol abuse, neglect and beatings. He was warehoused in school and could not read or do basic math when he was in 6th grade. I taught him how to read and count. Today he is in 9th grade, woefully behind and on probation for school related offences. He has never done homework and he hates school. I have quit graduate school, right at the end, to devote myself to making sure he gets a good education. It is way worse than having my teeth pulled. The reason I was able to do anything I wanted and support myself was because I had a hell of an education. He has got to have a high school diploma to have any chance in life, especially now at the dawn of the information age. Was it a sacrifice? No. I want to do it and I'm happy to do it. Adults realize things that children and teenagers do not. We look back on our own lives and regret that we did not do more, sooner. That is why I was so critical of the idea of doing a paper on Michael Hutchence. But Erica, if you still want to do that, do a tough analysis. Learn something you don't already know. You're an INXS expert already, so tackle a new subject. Try examining Michael's lyrics and analyze what he wrote that could relate to him committing suicide. Or examine what he wrote and show how his lyrics supported a sexual gratification life-style that led to accidental auto-erotic asphyxiation. Or compare his writing style to a famous poet who is not in the world of rock and roll, and show how Michael had great poetic skill. Compare him to someone like Dylan Thomas, arguably the best poet of this century, or an iconoclast like Randall Jarrett. Perhaps you could compare and contrast his writings with Sylvia Plath, a poet who committed suicide. Do something that stretches you as a person. Don't rehash the same old crap we do here everyday. It's school, and school is a lot more important than you realize now.

Hey all, Well I guess I was the first to be 'IT' but this week has just been so hectic for me, I've started a new job (well not really, I work in THREE departments at the local supermarket) trying to juggle uni into that, soccer (Well it's finished as of last Saturday now) and also trying to have some form of a social life, so I've been a bit behind on my e-mails. I think that this compliment idea is a good one, and I've been thinking really hard who to compliment someone, and just as I come up with someone that I haven't talked with b4, someone else lists them, so it's making it a bit difficult. And the fact that I rarely keep any INXS mails longer than a week makes it harder, but I've finally remembered the person's name, and I'd like to compliment Gwen, for having an opinion that may be different to a lot of ppl, but still has the guts to voice it, and come back time and again after coping a lot of shit from others. So well done Gwen. I'd also like to make a brief comment on the conversation about drug taking and all that. Well really it's more of a question. It's aimed at those ppl out there who have had to deal with ppl (be it close friends or family) that have turned to drugs, etc, "Do you find it easier to forgive ppl like MH, Paula, ppl you've not met, for ruining their lives with drugs, etc, than ppl you know intimately?" I ask this cos for several years now my older brother has turned to drugs (on and off) and several times I'd forgive him, but the more he'd turn back to it, the harder it is for me to forgive him. I guess it's harder for me to forgive him cos I'm directly affected by what he does, and can see the effect it's having on those around, but for ppl [I don't know and this goes for other ppl I've known not too well (other than MH) who did drugs] I find it easier to frgive, cos I'm not directly related to what's going on. At the moment I just feel all churned up inside about MH and Paula for the drugs and all, cos my brother is back on them, but I guess I feel that way about anyone who takes drugs. Okay, I'm gonna stop going on b4 I go too far.

Apart from that, I received THE best birthday present last night. A change from the normal birthday celebrations, I went to the first annual Health and Human Performance Awards (to do with uni) cos they had told me I was nominated for an award. Anyway, it was at the (ultra posh) Leichardt Hotel, and so I had to borrow some clothes from my older brother to 'look the part.' Anyway, there was awards presented for academic, sporting and humourous achievements. I received one for Most Timely Conceived (for it being my birthday tha night). I had no idea the compere was talking about me, he was going on about how this guy's parents were to be congratulated for this award, they had timed it perfectly, he was conceived 19 years and nine months ago, ra ra ra, and then he calls my name up and I'm just sitting there shocked. But that wasn't my BEST present, it had come earlier. They were doing the academic awards, and they'd read a list of four or so ppl who were nominated for the award, and mine was called for most outstanding achievement for a 2nd year student, along with some other ppl's who I knew were really smart. Then they called it was a tie, and my name was called, and I was speechless. I went up there, got my award, and was walking back to my seat, and they called me back, and there was the two of us up there and the compere says to the other guy, "I don't know how you did it" (cos he's a bit of a 'party animal') and todl him to sit back down, and then he asked me some questions, and I can't remember what it was, but I remember not having an answer, just saying, yeah pretty good. And then he asked how did I approach uni, like ear by year or what, and I just said, I just aim to be there three years, and not have to come back to repeat anything, so that's my goal, to pass everything. So that just made my night and my whole day, to be awarded such a good award, and even though it was just a photocopied piece of paper, it's something I'll keep forever. It still hasn't sunk in that I'm the JOINT smartest person (well considered smartest) in my grade. Anyway, thanks again for those who made my b'day special with their b'day wishes.

As for the young lady who is doing her project on INXS, GOOD GIRL!!! If you have to do research or a project, it should be on something which is of importance to you, as you will work diligently and your finished product will reflect your passion for the material at hand. I am a theatre professor & long time INXS fan, and want to tell you all that there is a very up-and-coming area in the study of the arts, known as performance studies. It is a synthesis of anthropology, psychology, sociology, in coordination and relation to the arts; Erica's project would fall into this category as she is studying a pop icon and his affect and relation to the behaviors surrounding and leading to death, as well as possibly its reaction by our society. This very topic has been a subject of study numerous times. NYU, Northwestern, and I believe, the University of Canberra in Australia, are the leading schools in the area of performance studies. While I was working on my Master's, I had to present concepts for costumes for a production of Moliere's IMAGINARY INVALID. I cast Michael, Paula, Bob Geldof, and even Death in the roles that were written long ago in sixteenth century France. I set my production in the late twentieth century and dressed my characters as Michael, Paula, Bob, etc. would have in real life. My concept board, which is supposed to show my ideas of what the show would look like, was a game board, each character became a playing piece (each person's photo mounted on stars a la the INXS logo). The board was comprised of INXS albums and instead of rolling dice, each player would pick a card that had an album cover on it. You would then move to wherever that next album was on the board. Whoever reached the finish first, won; a heart, wedding bell, and a tiger lily, signifying all that seemed important to Michael at the time, were at the end of the board. Needless to say, I received an A and blew the professor's and my classmates' minds away. We all have things which inspire us. You don't have to hide them!

Hi all, Like a lot of rock musicians I'm a recovering drug addict, of many years. But I was always single and never owed anybody anything. I found it abhorrent the way people with kids would involve them in their drug scene. Mothers who would take their kids with them to score, fathers who would get high right in front of the kids. What you have to understand is that when you're an addict, you cannot separate any part of your life from drugs. So you're going to do it around your kids. If anyone thinks Tiger has not seen a ton of drug abuse, that is a pipe dream. That child saw everything. It's not so much famous people or close people that I can't forgive. It's the people that do it around children I refuse to forgive.

At uni I just finished a subject last semester called Popular Genres, which was really all about pop culture, and although it didn't cover music, it did look at films, tv shows, magazine ads, etc. And then this semester when I did the subject Short Story, I found a few parallels to pop culture, which I used to demonstrate in the essay I submitted (which I also sent to the list). I don't think you should knock ppl for writing an essay or doing a project on something they like and have a passion for. The main purpose of research projects (like the one Erica is doing) is that first word, RESEARCH. From what I remember at school, it didn't matter how much you knew about a topic, you coudl always research it further to find things you didn't know. And although she may not be finding out what some may say is 'useful' stuff like about cancer and abe lincon (or whoever he is) I think that's up to each person. I mean, what's the point in doing a project on cancer if you have no passion for it, or see no way you're ever gonna use it later in life. You choose things you think may help you later in life, and maybe the entertainment industry or journalism is something Erica wants to get into. I'm not knocking the person who made these comments, I'm just voicing MY opinion, which I think is fair enough.

In regards to your question about people taking drugs....as you read on the list, my sister was a heroin addict. I'm sure she did other things, but that's the "big" one. I never really forgave her for the path she chose in life. It would be different if her actions had only affected her, but they didn't. She had a beautiful daughter that will now go through the rest of her life remembering all of the horrible things my sister put her through. My parents got custody of my niece when she was eight years old. According to her she had a lot of things that her mom "put in storage" that she was wondering if we could get for her. Needless tosay, it had all been hocked for drug money. She had been taken out of school for almost 6 months and left alone for long parts of the day (again, she was 8). My sister took her with her to beg for money on freeway onramps, in front of banks and even had her steal food from grocery stores (who's gonna check a kid?). The only thing I'm grateful for is that, to my knowledge, she never had to witness the prostitution. No, I can never forgive my sister for putting niece through that. My sister and I had the same opportunities growing up. We were in a middle class family in a city that had a good school system and decent people. I chose to follow the rules, stay in school, get jobs and not do drugs. My sister was the opposite. I doubt she even got her high school diploma and she never had an official job or driver's license. Go figure that out! I think you're right when you say that it's easier to forgive someone you don't know because you don't see first-hand what the family is going through or how they acted when they weren't in public. A stage persona is often quite different from a real persona. It just makes me sad that something was so wrong in his life that he had to turn to drugs.

From: "Mitch Robertson" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Monday, October 23, 2000 1:43 AM Subject: INXS: Re: SOTW#126 - Shine Like It Does AND a bit more Hey all, After reading everyone's thoughts on Shine Like It Does, I thought I better have a listen to it, cos I don't have that song on any of my INXS cd's. So I was wondering what cd it is off???? I went to Napster and dl-ed it from there, and it said it was off the Greatest Hits cd, but I have that and it's not on it. Anyway I thought it was a great song. Then I read the post saying they did a good version of it live, so I searched Napster for INXS live songs, and found a collction of three songs that were live and acoustic. They included Shine Like It Does, Never Tear Us Apart and Need You Tonight. I believe these were recorded for some show, cos at the start of them there is talking, and I can just make out that they mention SONIC STUDIOS, and I'm not sure what they say the show is called, maybe MuchMusic. I'm not sure when they were recorded or what, but if anyone knows, let me know. Lastly, I had to have a laugh when I read the Sunday Mail (Qld paper) this weekend, as in the Encore section (which is dedicated to music,movies, etc) there was a small article which it appears the author could ahve been sitting in on recent conversations on the list, I'll type out the article for you all, so ENJOY! What you need - a new name By Ritchie Yourke Although it might be like telling your best mate he's got bad breath, somebody needs to get into the collective INXS ear. The recent activities of the INXS survivors, plus new vocalist Jon Stevens, trotting out under the INXS name (think most recently Olympics closing ceremonies), are not appropriate. Like many others, we consider the INXS legacy to be pseudo-sacred. And we've got no problems with Jon Stevens giving the front man role a go. We're also happy to see the INXS survivors carrying on with their musical career. We just don't think it's right for the band to trade as INXS. INXS was then, but this is now - another time, another lead singer. Michael Hutchence can never be replaced. The boys should simply come up with a new name and go for it. Play a few of the INXS classics, by all means, but develop new material and make that the main thrust of a live set. It may take a bit of time but it's better that than trading as someone yo're not. And even worse - the risk of sullying one of Ozrock's grandest memories. Family Matters While we're on the INXS topic, you'l no doubt be delighted to hear that Michael Hutchence's sister Tina Hutchence and mother Patricia Glassop have combined to pen a book called JUST A MAN, coming out next month. Th authors feel "they owe it to Michael to set the record straight." Okay, I just wanna comment on a few things from the first article. Firstly, why the author insists on saying We all the time, as if he's speaking for a majority or something. Secondly, the term he calls the 'INXS survivors' I mean, it's not as if Michael Hutchence died in some plane crash that the other's survived. I'm not gonna comment on the rest any further, cos we've had this discussion b4, and I'm sorry for bringing it all up again. Lastly, (I thought THAT article was s'posed to be my lastly, but it's not, so bear with me), I found out some NEWS about Tiger. This is taken from lat week's New Weekly mag. To Sir With Love The question of Tiger Lily's custody has been answered, with the Hutchence family supporting Bob Geldof's adoption plans. After the tragic death of his ex-wife Paula Yates, it look slike Sir Bob Gelof will be able to adopt her orphaned daughter, Tiger Lily. The family of Tiger's later father, INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, has abandoned plans to fight for custody of the littel girl and will support Geldof's plea to rebuild his shattered family, keeping Tiger Lily in England with her half-sisters. Michael's father, Kell Hutchence, announced last week that his family had agreed to drop thier bid for legal custody of the four-year-old, and allow Tiger Lily to grow up peacefully. "We've decided she is best off with her sisters in England," 67-year-old Kell told London's Sunday Mirror newspaper. Kell also revealed that he had reached an agreement with Bob, 45, which gave him and the rest of the Hutchence clan "unlimited access" to see Tiger whenever they wished. Unsurprisingly, sources close to both families are relieved that the vicious rows which erupted almost immediately after the death of Michael in a Sydney hotel room three years ago finally seem to have come to an end. For the first time in her short life, Tiger Lily will not be the focus of legal wrangling over where she lives and who shoudl raise her. The truce also marks the end of the rift within the Hutchence family which grew from disputes over access to Michael's $21.7 million fortune. "They have been arguing fo years, and have decided enough is enough," confided a friend of Michael's brother Rhett. Meanwhile, Paula's solicitor, Mark Stephens, has described the latest development as "the best news for everybody." Geldof, who was awarded temporary care of Tiger after Paula's shock death last month will now be able to apply for permanent guardianship through the British High Court. So there you have it. Well that's it from me for a few days, have my final two exams on Wednesday and Thursday, so I'll be pretty quiet until after then.

And the live version on the back of Mystify is pretty damn good as well. It doesn't appear as though it was ever given a high production status by INXS or Chris Thomas and retains a 'raw' live feel like much of the other work on Listen Like Thieves (even with the massive synth runs). When you think of the softer INXS tunes or ballads, this one sits quietly when compared with Never, By My Side, Not Enough etc.. But it never the less makes a strong and thoughtful contribution to the INXS catalogue.

It just varies from week to week what song it is. If I remember correctly, Sue determines the SOTW by the oh-so-scientific method of pulling a name out of a hat, or just honoring a request she's gotten during the week. I, for one, would prefer just one SOTW, simply because when people really start listening to and focusing on one song, they can come up with some really great interpretations. I'm on another list (Treefort) that does just one a week, and it's amazing the stuff people come up with. I'd be afraid that if there was more than 1 SOTW, they'd not all be discussed as thoroughly as if there's just 1 that everyone is focusing on. Just my opinion, Nanci We thought we had all the answers; it was the questions we had wrong. --Bono From: "Leah Sungenis" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2000 3:59 PM Subject: INXS: Re: Somone has too much time on their hands Nanci, You might want to ask John to set up a password to use when subbing and then unsubbing.

Hey All, Just thought I'd share this with everyone, I had this really weird dream last night about Paula, it was so weird. She was still alive, and she said something to me, something about watching after Tiger (who was also there). It gave me the chills! And even more strange, this happened about 2 weeks ago (Friday Oct. 13th to be exact), my friend and I were using the Ouija board, and I had my picture of Michael (which I keep in a frame, usually hanging on the wall by my bed) laying next to the board, and we began asking questions, the first one being, Who are we talking to. It spelled out Michael Hutchence. Now, I know *I* wasn't moving the pointer, and I know my friend wasn't moving it (because she couldn't spell Hutchence if she tried! She can't even pronounce it!). My friend began asking questions, and she asked 2 questions I wish she hadn't, 1. Are you and Paula together and happy? and the other would give away the answer to the first one. If you want to know the answers you can ask me privately, because alot of people don't want to know the answers, I know I didn't. One other thing, I should have mentioned the day Paula died, so far I've only told 2 people, Erica and Mitch (both on this list). A few odd things happened before she died. One I can't remember at the moment, but the other 2 I remember perfectly. The first was that both Mitch and myself had been thinking about Michael, Paula and Tiger alot, and we weren't sure why, and I told Mitch in an email only about 2 days before she died that I thought something was about to happen. And then, the night before it happened, I was in the car and looking out the window sort of daydreaming (or nightdreaming), and I saw something, call it a vision or whatever, I'm not really into that sort of thing, but I saw a woman, who looked like my mother (and my mother looks alot like Paula) and the woman in the vision was about to die. My first reaction of course was I thought it was my mother, which scared me, but when I read my email the next morning and saw about 10 emails with the subject "Paula died" I knew she was the one I saw. Ok, sorry about the LONG email. But I thought I'd just share. But if any of you actually made it through the whole email, thanks for reading :) Love and Peace, Angel (aka Dawn) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MSN Messenger: inxs_angel@hotmail.com & MUZIKANGEL@webtv.net AIM: Rampantgirl86 & Angeltigerlily86 ICQ: 96180744 Yahoo Messenger: insgxs From: "eric reed" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2000 1:11 PM Subject: INXS: Re: Weird Al Yankovic --- DTKArk@aol.com wrote: > Does anyone happen to know the name of the INXS parody that Weird Al > Yankovic > recorded? weird al didn't actually record a parody of an INXS song. he did include the chorus to what you need in one of his polka songs. on almost every album, weird al does a polka song in which he records snippets of all the current popular songs polka-style and puts them all into one big medly. on his album "polka party" is where you would find the INXS snippet. he also briefly parodied the mediate video (dressed like michael) in his video for the song UHF. he was flipping the cards, but they said something silly like, "what", "is", "the", "point", "of", "this", "?" or something like that. I forget what exactly they said. I actually had a dream a loooooooong time ago that weird al did a parody of the one thing. all I remember is the chorus. you know where it goes, "it's the one thing...you are my thing". instead, weird al sang, "it's baloney...you will like it". I know it's silly, but you know how he had an infatuation with food! anyhow, I heard weird al was a pretty big INXS fan. so...maybe this could be the start of a good thread. maybe we could all try to come up with our own parodies of INXS songs. we could switch the words around a bit and have some fun. include sounds effects if you must. maybe it's a silly idea, but I'm (obviously) a weird al fan as well. it's just something fun! eric reed ===== got milkshake? get to know eric reed at: http://www.members.tripod.com/skippythefrog/skippy.html From: "Sue" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2000 4:53 PM Subject: INXS: SOTW#127 - Light the Planet In responding to the INXS Song of Week you can give your opinions on the lyrics and music of the song, its strong or weak points, and/or any special meaning the song has had at one time, or still holds for you.

The movie promo did have a brief snipping of Need You Tonight that was overlayed with some music from I've Got the Power by C&C Music Factory. As best I know, nobody was able to confirm that one exists... until now. Through some random luck, I have been able to confirm that following track does exist: DJ Big Ed - I Need the Power (INXS vs. Snap Mix -- Inspired by the sountrack from the motion picutre Coyote Ugly). Unfortunately I not been able to get my hands on a copy nor find out how to get one. But at least it is something for all the die-hards to start looking for.

This song starts out like Show Me (Cherry Baby) ends, with an odd little guitar lick that reminds you that there are more then just synthesisers in the studio, but lets not hide that fact for too long. The KICK album it ain't, but there's nothing wrong with the song......the lyrics almost one dimensional......with the positive angle towards happiness at every turn or in this case on every beat. I can't help wondering if light the planet in broader terms means get just a little high on the grassier side of the fence. You could also note the borrowed rhythm which seems to be born from an era long since passed in musical terms. In short, INXS proving themselves to be at home no matter what style or genre of music is on the bill.

Okay... as you can see, I am extending the deadline once again for these Christmas cards... I've gotten a great response so far, so if you are still on the fence on deciding whether or not to do these cards, and to be fair to those people, I am extending the deadline until Friday, 24th of November. I wanted to get this list out as soon as possible, but I still have people debating what they want to do. For those of you who haven't seen what I am talking about... below is a copy of what I posted to the list about the INXS Christmas card exchange.

I'm lucky I'm subscribed to the list thru 2 different email accounts, and whoever keeps doing this won't be able to remove that address, so I won't actually miss any messages (because I never post from it. I suspect whoever is removing people is just collecting addresses from people who post). but it's still pissng me off. I think it shouldn't be possible for any random joker to remove people from the list. I think someone mentioned that we all have passwords or something. I think the format to sub/unsub should be changed. most lists you can sub to online often require you to email them from the email account you wish to sub/unsub, rather than giving you (and any other joker) the option to freely type in any ol email address at some website. you can't change the "from:" field when sending an email, so that provides pretty good security and I think would be a preferred option for sub/unsub issues. eric reed ===== got milkshake? get to know eric reed at: http://www.members.tripod.com/skippythefrog/skippy.html From: "Nanci Lamb Roider" To: "Multiple recipients of INXS-List" Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 5:10 PM Subject: INXS: New sub/unsub procedure Hi all, In light of the recent subscription management problems on the list, please contact me direct if you wish to unsubscribe from the mailing list.

A battle had been brewing over the custody of Tiger Lily ever since the death of Paula Yates last month. However, the family of Michael Hutchence have now said they will not fight a legal battle. Michael's father Kell has told the Mirror that Tiger Lily is better off with her sisters in England. In return, Sir Bob has granted unlimited and unconditional access for Kell and his family to visit their granddaughter. Bob Geldof is now free to pursue permanent guardianship of Tiger Lily through the English courts. *********************************************************** 'Michael Hutchence mother blames Paula Yates for her sons death' The mother of Michael Hutchence, Patricia Glassop has told a British radio talk show that Paula Yates was to blame the suicide of her son. Patricia and Michael's sister Tina have written a book which maintains that Paula drove Michael to depression. In the book, they say that Paula once threatened to kill herself and their daughter Tiger Lily because Michael refused to marry her. On British radio this week, Tina stated that the last 2 1/2 years of Michael's life were his most miserable. Michael was found hanged in a Sydney hotel room in Nov 1997. Paula Yates died of a drug overdose this September. *********************************************************** Also on E!News tonite (the oz version) they had a brief story on the second story above, and mentioned they are having an interview with Patricia on next week's show! Also, for OZ listers, I HEARD that Just A Man should be in stores tomorrow, November 1st.
