BEEN AWHILE!| FIRST TIME HEARING INXS - The One Thing REACTION

[@honkey5913]

This was the first INXS song in the states released !! Glad you finally did it !!

[@bjdefilippo447]

I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this!

[@mikeferguson6644]

Before don’t change?

[@danielwagerman9524]

I heard Don't Chage before The One Thing. Both are absolutely FIRE!

[@gdoggatl]

Yes, before (Spring 1983).​@@mikeferguson6644

[@maeric9]

my all time favorite

[@ericv181]

“Don’t change” by INXS is fantastic!

[@ericwilliams1031]

They did that one already. It's my fav INXS song!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

@@ericwilliams1031 mine too!

[@DavidJBorowiakAuthor]

‘Don’t Change’ is another super-banger from the same INXS album as ‘the One Thing’. As for Tears for Fears…’Advice for the Young at Heart’ from 1989. Amazing song!

[@007ndc]

Two great songs

[@ButtonPhonics]

Words out of my mouth -for both suggestions!!!!

[@btgiv6009]

Tears for Fears songs they still should check out: "Mothers Talk", "The Working Hour", "Call Me Mellow", and "Elemental".

[@btgiv6009]

INXS songs: "Suicide Blonde" and "Good Times" with Jimmy Barnes.

[@DavidJBorowiakAuthor]

@@btgiv6009 yeah, those are all solid. ‘Working Hour’ is one of my favorites. ‘Call Me Mellow’ is great as well.

[@TrailerBob]

Shabooh Shoobah was my first INXS tape and remains my favourite album of theirs.

[@nancysmith8626]

And what a cool name for an album, ha.

[@markhagerman1837]

Same 👍

[@kimberlywalker3970]

For me it was Listen Like Thieves. I got it for Christmas in 1986. I love EVERY song on that album, especially the first three: What You Need, Listen Like Thieves and Kiss the Dirt. I'm also a big fan of Red Red Sun and Same Direction. Anyway, I played that cassette at least 3xs a day. I wore it out in a year. I also said if their next album is half as good as this, they'll be huge! The following year, 1987, I got Kick for my 15th birthday. I was the first kid in my group of friends to have it. When 1988 rolled around, everyone had it. I saw them in concert in June of '88 with my mom, who loves them too. I listened Kick even more and wore it out in less than a year. I bought second cassette of both albums and wore them out. Then, when CDs became the rage the first two I bought were Listen Like Thieves and Kick, what a surprise 😂😂

[@debratroeak77]

RIP Michael Hutchence ❤

[@luissoto8681]

OMG!! THANK YOU!!! is about time!! this is the very first INXS song I owned way back in the 1980's 🙂

[@bishdizzle67]

That's my favorite INXS song

[@Phoenix85006]

Mine too!

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

Same

[@RunePenrod]

Mine as well!

[@douglaspaterson5269]

👍🏾

[@lauriebarrett6789]

INXS - "Original Sin".

[@bobsmythe1439]

Finally got to this, their FIRST hit

[@alissakochis6586]

Kiss the dirt (falling down the mountain) one of my favorite songs of INXS hope you take a listen.

[@bradboyle757]

Suicide Blonde is a great song by INXS

[@DavidEnevoldsen]

Yes, yes Suicide Blonde is a must, a live version if you can!

[@timlacreta8221]

Here's the full set to hear: INXS (Don't change, Original sin, Listen like thieves, This time, Taste it, By my side, Disappear, Just keep walking, The one thing, Kiss the dirt, Good times [Jimmy Barnes], Not enough time, To look at you, The loved one, Kick, Mediate, Need you tonight, Never tear us apart, Mystify, New Sensation, Guns in the sky, Devil Inside, Beautiful girl, Afterglow, The strangest party, Elegantly wasted, Suicide blonde)

[@detect]

Shut up

[@nancysmith8626]

They MUST do "Mediate," that song is the bomb. Amber will love it, ha. I could have sworn the original album version of "Need You Tonight" as well as the video for it just segued into "Mediate," but I can only find the two songs broken up now.

[@bjdefilippo447]

I'm so glad you guys like this one! And yes, absolutely, the sax is fire!

[@doscojones6404]

Song still sounds great after more than forty years. Amazing.

[@kelliedee]

Glad you're reacting to more INXS, especially in their early years. Just Keep Walking, Black and White, To Look At You, Dancing On The Jetty, Stay Young are some more of their early songs.

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

dont forget "Dont Change"

[@kelliedee]

@@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman They've reacted to that one, but yes, it's a great song.

[@mals4125]

Band - Cold Chisel the song 'Bow River' - live 2003 Ringside Tour- Must hit

[@LearnToRefine]

"The One Thing" and "Don't Change" were the foundation for this band in the U.S.. The first videos that introduced us to them..

[@chrishackett554]

Saw them on tour in San Diego about 1990. Phenomenal show. Use to buy tickets from a record shop that was also ticker reseller. No internet or smart phones back then. Paper Ticketron.

[@jaquettajones]

YEP - This was the FIRST Song that introduced INXS to the U.S. in 1982....and what an introduction it was!!

[@Great-Documentaries]

Here in the States, this was our first taste of INXS. I rarely listen to it anymore, but it was cool and made us aware of a band that was about to explode to superstardum.

[@terryallen345]

Great band, the guitarist, drummer and keyboard player are brothers. The sax player's wife won the women's world surfing title 7 times

[@michaelakkerman407]

The drum beat when they go into the chorus is fire...

[@jwine4145]

This really takes me back in my spirit to the 80s.

[@michaeldellobuono1858]

They're first hit. A great song.

[@juliemarsden1858]

No Just keep walking was their 1st hit in Australia

[@hampyonce]

I was lucky enough to see INXS in a 1000 person auditorium in Charlotte around 87. It was fire. First show I remember with beer at the concession stand. Had a few. Sweated. The beautiful lady in my living room was with me. She enjoyed it immensely and she wouldn't say that about every concert I took her to see.

[@chrisharris7931]

This song, Don't Change, and Kiss The Dirt are my favorite INXS songs.

[@nancysmith8626]

They were so young here! Aren't the guitars and keyboards perfect in this song?? This is probably my favorite song of theirs, although it's damn hard to pick with INXS. Keep going with this band, they're a treasure trove of 80s and 90s hits! I often wonder what would have happened to their trajectory if Michael Hutchence hadn't died. He sure did leave behind an incredible legacy of music, though.

[@byerenny]

"Dancing On the Jetty" and "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)" are a couple more INXS to check out.

[@mals4125]

INXS - 'Johnson's Aeroplane' - an Oz favourite that wraps up a whole bunch of sounds on their way up. Must Hit.

[@AnthonyWilliams-ot1yk]

INXS are an amazing band! So influential and they deserve their props! To this day there is no vocalist/frontman like Michael Hutchence. So soulful with a unique sex appeal.

[@Dr_Bombay]

"Don't Change" is also so good. they are SO YOUNG in this video. i love this song, but i had forgotten how young they were at this time.

[@patrickchachulski6804]

One of my all-time favorites by INXS and I honestly remember seeing this on MTV back in 83/or early 84. Love your reaction!!!

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

INXS - "Guns in the Sky"

[@louvuttion]

Don’t change & kiss the dirt are a must !

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

They already did “Don’t Change” in case you wanna search it.

[@westsidecat9297]

Thank you for featuring one of my (INXS) requests! Play Falling Down the Mountain (kiss the dirt) next.

[@MrSteveLoucks]

Love this song, Jay and Amber! It served as my introduction to INXS, and I wanted to be as cool as they were. Another great early tune should check out is Original Sin.

[@GodLovesComics]

Maybe my favorite of all INXS songs (although it's almost impossible to choose one favorite from such an incredible catalog). Definitely the first song I heard from them and i was immediately won over. It's slinky, it's funky, it's got sax, and it still rocks!

[@QuadRippler]

INXS - Burn for you , Next banger !!

[@thefunpolice]

That was a monster song in Oz, no idea how well it did anywhere else. Fond memories of that one.

[@paulgarza1386]

The groove of the drumming is A++

[@dchenkin02]

My best friend saw in INXS in 1983. Their first US tour they opened for Adam Ant.

[@chipdamutt108]

This song and "Don't Change" are my favorite INXS songs. I've always wondered what he says at 4:45.

[@jackieburchell2187]

Gotta love some Inxs 😊❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@kosh6612]

Michael Hutchence actually starred in a full movie about a band and the scene in Melbourne. The full movie is on YT search Dogs In Space. Such a great indie film. A trip to the house in Richmond used to be on the local 'must do' list. literally moved to Melbourne from the US the week Skylab fell. Themovie also answers the important question of 'How do you know when you've had a good time?" ;)

[@kimberlywalker3970]

I've actually seen it. He was pretty good. He also had a small part in a film called Frankenstein Unbound. He played Percy Shelley.

[@stevenjwiles]

So 80's. I love it. How naive was I back in the day, totally missed that suggestive ending.

[@rodneycraft1005]

Great song by a great band.

[@GavinPasco]

Early INXS. Love it. Must listen to Johnson’s Aeroplane from The Swing album.

[@barrett5361]

the best!!!

[@kimberlywalker3970]

I'm not a big fan of The Swing but Johnson's Aeroplane is hands down my favorite song on that album.

[@toniboydston2744]

Welcome to my life living in Australia in the 80’s. ❤

[@markbenedict1295]

My favorite INXS !

[@stevenklein3195]

My favorite!! Such a banger song!! Unique in every way!!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

One of my fave INXS songs! ♥

[@ericschenher5526]

Need more 90s INXS! "Not enough time", "Suicide blonde", "Bitter tears", "Beautiful girl ", "The strangest party", "Elegantly wasted", " The gift", to name a few.

[@kimberlywalker3970]

The Strangest Party is my top ten of favorite INXS songs. I love the video. Suicide Blonde is in my top five. The Gift could be in my top ten. It's competing with Devil Inside, Baby Don't Cry, Deliver Me and Let It Ride.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Yay, more INXS. I have to recommend their live performance in Wembley Stadium, 1991. They recorded it for a whole DVD called, Live Baby Live. Each song is broken down to its own video on KZbin. You should try 'New Sensation' or 'What You Need', it gives the experience of a their live shows when they were literally one of the handful of top bands in the whole world. I never suggest live videos but INXS does live as well or better than almost any other band.

[@troypuls5424]

I bought the re-release of that in 4k. I saw them in 1991. I wasn't even a fan at the time, my girlfriend wanted to go. They put on one of the best arena shows I've ever seen.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

@@troypuls5424 Yes, absolutely amazing. I've watched that whole performance many, many times. I'm glad I got to see them in the early 90s. It's all a blur in my memory, I just know I was screaming my head off the whole time, lol.

[@jamesmorrison4581]

Absolutely love it. Brilliant 80s😍

[@kimberlywalker3970]

A couple fun facts about this video. The women in the video are the bandmates' girlfriends. The blonde sitting next to Tim Farriss is his wife, Buffy. The brunette, with the long wavy hair, was Michael's girlfriend, Michele Bennett. I'll go along with some of the other video suggestions: Suicide Blonde is a killer song and a top ten hit in the US., The video has interesting visual tricks. Disappear is a gorgeous black and white video and INXS' last top ten song in the US. Both come from the album X, which was after Kick and their last platinum album in the US. Both worth a look and listen. Other Suggested INXS videos: Listen Like Thieves Kiss the Dirt This Time Just Keep Walking (from their debut album) The Spy of Love Anything from the 1990s: Beautiful Girl Heaven Sent Taste It Not Enough Time Baby Don't Cry The Gift Time Please (with Ray Charles) Elegantly Wasted Don't Lose Your Head The Strangest Party (These are the Times) As far as Tears for Fears: Working Hour Mother's Talk Pale Shelter (Love the song and video)

[@Coats2112]

I enjoy making people feel old AF. I remember this song coming out in 7th grade. The album was given away as a prize in a school wide "Pepsi Challenge Show" in the school auditorium. Yes, this song is as old as "The Pepsi Challenge". How many bottlecaps did you collect?

[@wonder5487]

Also check out: "Not Enough Time," "Beautiful Girls," "Suicide Blonde," "Bitter Tears," and "The Stairs."

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

2 Living Legends... 🎤Jimmy Barnes 🇦🇺 feat 🎸Joe Bonamassa 🇺🇸 🎶 'Stone Cold' 🎶 Astounding voice + Superb guitar -With Brass 🎷🎺 ..doing a Fantastic song...a MUST Listen guys 👍👍 ✌️❤️ 🇦🇺

[@aussiepie4865]

Yes yes yes

[@sankyhudson7470]

I got to see Inxs in a pub in Sydney back in 1983 , bloody amazing . This was their first big hit in Australia and climbing the Aussie charts very fast .

[@scottsay1]

Always loved their groove!

[@threestumps7560]

Divynals - Boys in Town

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

✍️ ..Divinyls 👍

[@mals4125]

Must hit OZ classic.

[@danw3735]

One of my favourite INXS songs, up there with Don't Change, Love is(What I Say), Falling down the mountain, and earlier stuff.

[@loristone9242]

I remember seeing this in the early 80's when MTV was actually Music Television. I think I was like 13. So cool.

[@kennewton7518]

When I was fifteen years old this was a favorite song and it's underrated

[@katsmith3369]

Well, whenever you guys start raving about saxophones I'll be bringing up 'Would I lie to you?' by the Eurythmics. One day it might work.

[@jfg1356]

great tune great riff an amazing forgotten band

[@borg30096]

MTV used to play this at least 4 times a day! INXS is one of My Favorite All Time Groups! They were so Funky, and with Michael (RIP) and the talented Guys were Awesome!

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

The whole Shaboo Shabah album is fire! If you ever get a chance, it’s really worth listening to.

[@westsidecat9297]

"Spy of Love" is my next favorite on that album. Liked that they already features Don't Change. 🎹🎸👍

[@jollyrodgers7272]

DISAPPEAR, WHAT YOU NEED, NEED YOU TONIGHT(YOU'RE ONE OF MY KIND), SUICIDE BLONDE, and a bunch more you missed but should hear.

[@wonder5487]

I think they did all those except Suicide Blonde. Check out their playlist for INXS.

[@thePeaches05]

Love love love this song! First hit I think from them in the early 80’s which introduced me and I think the US to INXS- how they use there sax!!

[@andrewpetik2034]

This was the very first INXS song I ever heard...so that distinction makes it my favorite of theirs. They have made many other great songs, but for me, this is THE BIG ONE. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I am glad that you got to this one.

[@lisabrown5924]

This song and Never Tear US apart are my favorites. I love INXS, my first concert with a a friend and no parents 🙂.

[@SRGots]

I remember watching this video for the first time on MTV in 1983. My cousin LOVED Michael Hutchence.

[@PhalseProfit13]

Yessss more older inxs is awesome 🎉

[@shelley3442]

Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham "When Something is wrong with my baby" LIVE VERSION

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

THEY WERE VERY WELL-PRODUCED!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@alanstrom2221]

This video symbolises the decadence and excess of the 80's. The 80's was one massive party which ended with a massive 'hangover' and the 2nd worst economic Recession in history. The early 90's were harsh economic times and musicians and society became more introspective. Grunge reflected the way people were feeling. The music video for the song, directed by Soren Jensen, featured the band members having a decadent banquet with a number of beautiful models, including Hutchence's then girlfriend Michele Bennett. From the mid-80's onward, after "The Swing" album, INXS became 'over' produced. The World loved the 'over' produced sound and INXS dominated for many years. RIP - Michael Hutchence, one of the greatest lyricists and front men of all time.

[@MichelleEdgar-g7b]

More Aussie music please 🇦🇺 Midnight Oil, Power & the passion Divinyls, Boys in town Dragon, Rain Cold chisel, Flame trees, Bow River Jimmy Barnes, Working class man Hoodoo Gurus, Like wow wipeout Mental as anything, If you leave me can I come too The Seekers, We are Australian Daddy Cool, Eagle rock The Church, Unguarded moment

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

Before MTV there was a show called "Pop Rocks," this song was the first music video I ever saw.

[@tbone2071]

So many great songs from INXS

[@terryallen345]

Add Australian Crawl and Boom Crash Opera to the list

[@DavidJBorowiakAuthor]

BCO!

[@smd2169]

I saw them on this tour with the Go-Go’s on the Riverboat President in NOLA. INXS is vastly underrated and overlooked.

[@garybennett7835]

You have got to try an Aussie band called Powderfinger give a song called My Happiness ❤❤❤from Aussieland .

[@sailor213100]

This is the first song I heard from them, when they were still relatively unknown in the US, back in the early to mid 1980s.

[@cstianlew406]

Inxs with Jimmy Barnes a song called Good Times is a real rocker

[@CD_24RT]

Yes really need to do Good Times!

[@davidstone8045]

My favorite album of their's, Shabooh Shoobah. Don't change is another great song from this album.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

This is what turned America on to INXS thanks to MTV and it was nothing but up until we sadly lost Mike in his death by misadventure.

[@mdipaolo70]

By far the best INXS song! Recommend listening to "Don't Change"

[@landreaulover]

Some of their earliest songs didn't chart as high as their later more radio-friendly ones did, but song like 'The One', 'Don't Change' and 'Black and White' are three of my favorites by them.

[@stevenharvey5819]

i love your accurate descriptions of this highly talented Aussie Band, you guys nail it

[@wendyprice3176]

This song takes me right back to 1983 at the US Festival. Such an amazing event I’ll never forget!

[@djjayskinner70]

When I see you two feeling this, it warms my heart.

[@stevehamilton8824]

Great song off of THE SWING album, released in 1984. MTV had been showing a number of Aussie bands at the time, including MEN AT WORK who were MTV darlings at the time. INXS videos were now beginning to air and showing the American audience another excellent Aussie band. Little did we know how huge they would become. This is the first INXS video/song to play on MTV. Check out - "Heaven Sent", "Original Sin", "Baby Don't Cry", "What You need", "Good Times (from Lost Boys movie)", "Calling All Nations", "Mediate", "Listen Like Thieves" to name a bunch. Keep them coming.

[@kupski1964]

We seen this new upcoming band from Australia at the FREE admission WMMS Cleveland agora coffee break concert right before they released shabu-shaa!! Walking out everyone knew they were going to be superstars.

[@spiceboymike]

Brings back soooooo many great memories! One of the very first videos I ever saw on MTV when my family finally got cable in 1983!!!

[@JaneWalters-ni7se]

Bought this RECORD when it came out. Boyfriend turned his nose up at it as " more of your flash in the pan, going nowhere new wave garbage. " Haha, look how HUGE they got. GREAT SONG! LOVES .E SOME INXS!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@seanlowe4785]

You've done a few of their songs but you still haven't done probably their most widely played song around the world "original sin". This is a must when reacting to INXS.

[@kimvillemarette3313]

Thanks guys killer riff, Love them, love them love them!

[@jacksonfiretn]

INXS was a great band and so was The Smithereens....Blues Before and After....A banger for sure.

[@donnaj1964]

Early INXS! Saw them at a bar before this album came out & they sang “ We are the vegetables “. I have that album too!

[@Jimmydavid2018]

You guys would love Don't Change. Always great to watch you
