🎵 INXS - Devil Inside REACTION

[@MichaelTScott-wb4di]

Michael Hutchence, to me, is one of the most underrated frontmen. Oozed charisma, sensuality and confidence. Very much missed. If you haven't heard "Don't Change" from INXS, it's a goodun.

[@silat13]

Always somebody has to come in with the underrated BS

[@randallharrison3254]

Definitely. He was a great frontman.

[@chrisharris7931]

@@silat13 This time it's true. So, go snipe at someone else. You're probably one of the clowns that's always voting for metal and never satisfied when they break away for a song or two.

[@MichaelTScott-wb4di]

@@silat13 Okay. He is too frequently talked about as being an excellent frontman. There are endless articles and arguments in the rock, pop and modern music community overall about his greatness. In fact, I'm sick of hearing all the praise that Michael Hutchence gets. My original comment just adds to all the noise about how fairly rated he is. In fact, I'm regretting thinking it at all. Thanks for making me see the light!

[@whoopdeedoo876]

He's my favorite frontman of all time. I don't care what anyone says ❤

[@JamiHeart]

That song brought me right back to 8th grade. Big one at school dances. INXS was HUGE at the time.

[@richardhenderson9767]

"I wonder how many kids were made to this", has got to be the best statement ever!!!!😀❤❤❤

[@adamsgrad93]

RIP Michael Hutchence. He was such a beautiful person and genius musician.

[@Malryth]

An awesome song from their album Kick! My interpretation of the song is that, we all have the capacity for evil. Just based on the "Here comes the World" lyrical part of this song.

[@NoCanDu]

👍 Nailed it.

[@jeanniea3437]

Exactly! He couldn't get passed the words she was raised on leather flesh on her mind,so he thought the whole song was about fetish sex. Your interpretation was correct.

[@jeanniea3437]

DG l believe the song he wrote about Kylie was Suicide Blonde.

[@skinmeister1]

INXS were huge in the 80's/90's! Try "Need You Tonight" next, if you haven't already. So many great bangers... and while you guys like to check out lyric videos, do at least one video so you can actually see them!

[@williamweiss6128]

Right?! Our vocalist loved them, and U2, back then. Remembering their drummer was solid.

[@gavinknight8858]

I loved Lex's response " I wonder how many kids were made to that"? Lol. The Kick album is one of the best albums of the 80's. Stands the Test of time. I recently asked a younger coworker if she knew who INXS was? She heard of them, but wasn't familiar with their songs.. I recommended KICK to her.. She came back the next morning and said that she absolutely loved it, giving it a 5/5. Some other INXS songs to consider are New Sensation, Suicide Blonde and Not Enough Time.

[@joelkeidannsilva8167]

the besT album

[@marcusrichards4019]

Original Sin & The One Thing by INXS are classics

[@adamsgrad93]

The One Thing is what made me love them and I was only 8 when Shabooh Shoobah came out. By the time they released Kick I was hooked for life.

[@reycataal8033]

Original Sin was a big hit here in the Philippines.

[@marcusrichards4019]

@@adamsgrad93 I became a huge fan in 1987 but I went back and bought the 5 albums prior and now the whole catalog is stirring up old memories.

[@kimberlywalker3970]

Devil Inside is the second song released from their Kick album. It went to #2 in the US and stayed there for a couple of weeks. Many people have said Michael's vocal performance and the guitar riff makes this song great. I tend to agree. Anyway, Lex, you were right on the money when you said you couldn't get a feel for who they are musically. The beauty about INXS is they don't play the same sh*t over and over. Their debut album had a ska sound to it. Their second and third were more 80s new wave. The fourth was a little more pop. Their fifth, Listen Like Thieves, harkens back to their days as a pub band in Sydney. Their sixth and most successful, Kick, is a mix of funk, rock, blues and a little rap w/Mediate. Their seventh, X, has more of a blues sound. Their eighth, Welcome To Wherever You Are, is different from all the rest. They took some musical risks and it's, I think, their most underrated album. Their ninth, Full Moon Dirty Hearts, is their grunge album. And the last one w/Michael, Elegantly Wasted, is their darkest. Michael was going through some stuff at that point in his life and you can hear it in the lyrics. My suggestion is, if you want to get to know them better, start w/their popular albums, Kick, Listen Like Thieves and X. Then, work your way through the catalog. You'll hear some of everything and not one of their albums sounds like the next. That is the beauty of INXS. And that's also the beauty of Led Zeppelin and that's why they're my favorite bands.

[@moefeaux1442]

"What You Need" live from Wembley Stadium is the jaw dropper from them you need to see.

[@haps4273]

Michael Hutchence was a phenomenal frontman and the whole band was great in concert. You might want to check out their live concert at Wembly Stadium in London. Another great song which is from the Kick album is Mystify. Others include Kiss The Dirt, This Time, The Stairs, Beautiful Girl, Heaven Sent, Original Sin and What You Need.

[@commenceenavoirmarre]

INXS - New Sensation !!

[@mangerinegirl]

There’s so much great INXS to get into. I’m always happy to see this band on any channel.

[@darrenwestbury8569]

More INXS please

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

"Dont Change" is the greatest - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS ✌☮

[@whatchutalkinaboutwillard6547]

When the album dropped back in '87 I played the hell out of that cassette.

[@dcanmore]

one of my all time favourite songs, Kick is such a great album.

[@lantose]

Always seemed like a strange song when I first started listening to it but then the musical composition and the beat couldn’t be resisted, with a great jamming melodic ending that you don’t want it to end!

[@scatton61]

Suicide Blond is brilliant

[@Will-fk2dk]

True... very true, but then again, everything they did was brilliant!!!

[@benjaminede6196]

INXS where the first band I ever saw! I was 18 and it was at Portsmouth guild hall. It was 1993 and they were a huge band but they did a small venues tour and me and several of my friends waited all day and got to stand at the front row and they were incredible! Still the best band I’ve ever seen live 👌👌👏👏👏

[@bdmention]

I think you guys would have a better feel for the band if your see original or live videos. Their stage presense is what makes them stand out above other bands. One of the most successful bands of the 80s.

[@afterthought3341]

Yeah one of the most successful bands but when he died his kid Tigerlily got nothing as the lawyers are it all . I'll think she'll be fine as Sir Bob took her in .

[@michaelduran8627]

This is just a fucking great pop song. I miss the days when I could enjoy pop music.

[@tnightwolf]

POP DOESN'T EVEN EXISTS NOWADAYS IN MAINSTREAM MUSIC! IT IS FKN EMBARRASSING! (NOT FOR YOU, BUT FOR THEM!)

[@davidhutchinson5233]

So many fun times had listening to INXS' music. I'm glad I was there to experience it.

[@MrDuncanquasar]

One of my all time favorite songs. Video is fire as well. INXS albums The Swing, Listen Like Thieves, and Kick are all fire

[@smittybenzo4693]

In this episode of Brad & Lex, the dark mood and sultry voice of Michael Hutchence creates wicked vibes which Brad will label "naughty" while he seems to circum to this setting by giving us an intrigued "side to side sway" as Lex, per usual finds light in the darkness by disregarding it and shining with her optimistic "love bop".

[@davidavi8554]

I don't get upset too much when celebrities die, but when I heard the news Michael Hutchence committed suicide, I was bummed out. I saw this band live at my local Spirit Festival.. It was awesome

[@carenhelms8518]

I've never been convinced it was suicide. I think it was just autoerotic asphyxiation gone wrong.

[@summerharmon2020]

You are exactly right! Caren Helms.

[@davidkymdell452]

I had a friend back then who was a massive INXS fan. I got really worried at how depressed he got when Michael died.

[@joelblankenbiller4353]

Lex...I always love the way you always glance over at Brad to see his reaction when you're really enjoying the songs.😊

[@Cadinho93]

You guys should react to… INXS - Need You Tonight 🎸🤘

[@flor9389]

I always thought it was about how we carry our demons and desperation around with us. “Hard to believe we need a place called hell”

[@leecollison8795]

just amazing love this band

[@justawhisperintheuniverse8257]

This song to me was always about young people who don't have material possessions, yet, but are full of passion and hope for the future, and passion for each other. There's just something carnal about that time in life.

[@abroquet2189]

"Just Keep Walking" INXS is brilliant. One of my favourites. You will love it !

[@LukeKhaing]

The album is on my Christmas list. Kick introduced me to the band. The executives didn't like the album at first but the manager released it with the bands money. If it failed the band would be broke. It was a success. And one of my favorite guitar riffs.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I hadn't heard that in ages but it was really fun to experience it this way with you guys.

[@jamesdavies3470]

Kiss The Dirt is another great INXS track 👍

To this day I still absolutely love this song.

[@keano7800]

Great song from an awesome album

[@rebelxxx3382]

INXS - "Mystify" and "the Gift " are two good ones to checkout

[@norwegianblue2017]

Iconic albums of 1987 (the year I graduated high school) INXS-Kick, The Cult-Electric, Guns N Roses-Appetite for Destructions, Pink Floyd-Momentary Lapse of Reason, R.E.M.-Document, Bruce Springsteen-Tunnel of Love, U2-The Joshua Tree.

[@blgeiger71]

That definitely was a great year for new music! I graduated a couple years later, in '89 - and I would add one of my personal faves to your list - "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Motley Crue 🙂

[@o.d.7558]

INXS made a lot of classics for the dancefloor - real cool stuff!

[@lordmortarius538]

Love Kick! One of my favorite 80's bands, mainly because Michael Hutchence sings at the same register as I do, so I can karaoke their songs :D My fave of course is Need You Tonight

[@tnightwolf]

INXS is a very underrated band. They were brilliant at times, and not so much in other times, but!... people should often search for what is the best of Humanity, and if that is the case, INXS will definitely be there!

The album Kick has been certified six times platinum by the RIAA and peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. The album also spawned four US top 10 singles ("New Sensation", "Never Tear Us Apart", "Devil Inside" and "Need You Tonight", the last of which reached the top of the US Billboard singles charts

[@SaturnusDK]

Lex interprets the song as erotic. Ok, that confirms she's definitely seen pictures of Hutchence. :D

[@jerrysarno2853]

Man! I just can't get enough of you guys.

[@gingerhuff5667]

My suggestion is Suicide Blonde Live at Wembley Stadium, it's a live performance and so far has never been blocked. Definitely worth watching the performance. RIP Michael Hutchinson ✌️💜🎶

[@LordEagle]

Raised on Leather,,,,,🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎 INXS is good shit,,,👍👍👍

[@Braedensground]

So glad you are reacting to these classic songs but you are missing out on so much from the MTV video Era. They made most of these groups/ songs. Especially INXS and the B52s. Consider watching these videos on one of your live streams so we can get you opinion on these songs you have reacted to lately. Enjoy!

[@da_blade5040]

INXS Was Super Awesome!! Great Vibe!! 💖💖💖

[@tracerow5516]

Michael is exactly what we need right now, a big party.

[@pdbordelon]

INXS - "This Time" or "The One Thing" are both great and better than Devil Inside

[@chrisharris7931]

Same goes for Kiss The Dirt and Don't Change. This is probably their weakest song, of the hits.

[@abroquet2189]

"Just Keep Walking" (1980) is a rocker.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Thank you for your opinion

[@Matt-zp1jn]

Naa, Devil Inside is a CLASSIC ! 😊

[@sdev2749]

The thing about INXS was that almost EVERY song they made became a huge hit - no side B

[@rodb9275]

When I saw this in my list, I was SO excited, and DIDN'T click on it right away, because this is my favorite INXS song, and I wanted to save it. I'm so bummed out that you didn't seem to like it much. It's no judgement. We're all different. But I'm a huge fan of you guys and wanted you to LOVE it. LOL. But thank you for reacting. Not many reactors seem to do this INXS song.

[@jeanniea3437]

I don't think they understand the song. Plus they don't many watch videos. Too much analyzing the song! Just enjoy it. It has a good beat and you can dance to it.

[@chuckblack947]

I'm a 65 year old straight dude but I can't figure out which you kids is cuter. Your reviews make my day. Keep this up please!

[@transmit13]

"Don't Change" is their best song IMHO.

[@deadinsider2024]

inxs ‘suicide blonde’ & ‘disappear’ are both great tracks.

[@jamielehn6926]

Early INXS is the best - dancing on the Jetty, what you need, don’t change, just keep walking, this time, listen like thieves

[@marcusrichards4019]

They had a song called Horizons on the "Underneath the colours" album that I couldn't stop listening to.

[@JoshuaC0rbit]

This was the first CD I ever owned. I love this band.

[@ianraymondback]

Inxs was a very underrated group

[@Tully_23_32]

INXS like other Aussie bands of the day are uniquely Aussie! We have our own rock genre "Pub Rock" which is uniquely Aussie, if they survived the Pub Rock Scene of Australia then they'd make it in this world & survive anything & the boys made it internationally & never forgot where they came from & still live in Sydney's Northern Beaches where they grew up which is great... Unlike another Aussie band that did sell their souls to make it internationally & u rarely see them on the golden soil that made them

[@n2nother]

This song is next level good.

[@MsDesiree39]

Cant wait til hear, Need You Tonight!

[@manna6618]

"Burn For You" (live) is a must-listen from INXS.

[@arthurimhof2427]

Michael Hutchens was of my all time favorite vocalist. I'm a 70s music fan but inxs was a absolutely great band in the 80s one if the best. R.I.P..Michael the song that made me a fan was Don't Change check it out sometime

[@habnots1]

Please try the live version of,"Never Tear us Apart"...

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

INXS were one of the best bands of the eighties. Lead singer, Michael Hutchence was so stylish and sexy and had a magnetic personality. I feel this song is about the evil inside of all of us. it talks about the world's future being uncertain which resonates with me because the current state of the world, especially with COVID and racial and social economical problems. Check out their hits Original Sin, Never Tear Us Apart, and Beautiful Girl.

[@kellyzak2375]

F'n love INXS

[@natewilliams1062]

I was about 14(?) When this album came out. I still believe it's the sexiest/coolest album since Purple Rain. I'm biased but it really still sounds So good. Thanks!

[@martinhayward4466]

Try "Melting in the Sun", "Too Look At you" and "The Loved One" for three classics just under the radar for most.

[@thomascrays4200]

You guys want a better feel for INXS check out the official videos for "Don't Change" or " You Are The One Thing". Early MTV and killer sound. You Are The One Thing is VERY blatant symbolism.

[@tammyt1971]

I like to watch Inxs videos. Especially the Webley concert!

When doing INXS reactions... using the Wembley Stadium Live performance is a good choice.... unlikely to have any copyright issues and really shows the band in their element.

[@jamma2916]

You need to SEE the band perform vs focus on the lyrics. Most of their lyrics are poetic with some discord. They were a phenomenal live act. The guys in the band instrumentally played off of each other. And their focus was dance music - it makes your body want to move. And oh dear sweetheart you need to meet Michael.😜

[@joedonlewis9820]

We all certainly have devilish desires. No doubt about it.

Wow, when I really read these lyrics makes me think of the tragic way that the singer Michael Hutchinson died, I know that the cause of death was strangulation, so it wasn't a nice way at all and it was accidental which makes it even more sad,R.I.P. Michael.

[@hmenon2003]

Suicide was most likely intentional on his part at that time. The pain he was in the hours before about his personal life, the argument with Bob Geldof hours before, the voicemails he left with his agent (Martha Troup) and a very close ex-girlfriend all speak to his state of mind at the time. The documentary "Mystify - Michael Hutchence" that came out n 2019 really goes into depth about all his struggles and what all lead up to that fateful day in 1997.

[@lantzkeefer6]

Thank you for the insight into his personal life, I didn't know alot of the background about him and I will be watching the Documentary asap.👌

[@whoopdeedoo876]

I hate how the media tried to portray it as auto-erotic asphyxiation to make it more "newsworthy." Anyone who has researched it knows it was a suicide.

[@hmenon2003]

@@whoopdeedoo876 Unfortunately, that will always come up when he or INXS come up in any conversation. The fact that the New South Wales Coroner ruled that out specifically clearly doesn't matter if you can make a joke at a deadman's expense or sell tabloids.

[@lantzkeefer6]

I realize how the media Vultures are in it to make it a more sensational story,when in essence it was just a man struggling with depression.After all that with Chris Cornell and Chester things are not always what they appear to be on the surface.Chester Bennington has a KZbin post where he discusses depression and I have to say that he's really talking the truth.R.I.P. to everyone who has succumbed to this disease.🌹

RIP Michael Hutchence!! He was a wonderful singer and performer! Their songs, What You Need, Need You Tonight / Mediate (extended version), Heaven Sent, The One Thing, Don't Change, New Sensation & Suicide Blonde would all be good songs for you to react to. But do some of their videos. You really ought to see them and you can still understand most of their lyrics!

The song is about worldly people and rampant materialism.
