ABC TV Australia Airdate 22nd April 2005

[@UNCOOLBRUNNO]

She was a rock goddess

[@maxmirni2768]

our finest

[@ytr3488]

Hell hath no fury?

[@hcoremanny]

The very last one!! And she was ours….

[@scottbrandts610]

There was NEVER one like her and there will NEVER be ANOTHER one. She was a live wire. An inexhaustible fire. Wildly energetic. UNAPOLOGETIC! What she demonstrated Will never be emulated. Australia's reigning rock chick. She did this country - and the world - so proud. Never be forgotten.

[@michellepalmer1850]

Oh my heart when she said, "i even Love myself some days" 😭💔❤️❤️ RIP you amazing Woman. Thank you for your great, unique music.. There will never be another you. ❤️🎶❤️

[@deancooper7952]

Chrissy will always be a legend , taken too soon , I will never forget her , a very special lady .

[@ScottDaddyMac]

Jesus. That last line she said brought tears to my eyes. She was an amazing woman and may she RIP.

[@cloudattack3279]

What a performer she was. Her own method, her own look, everything about her was unique. Mark McEntee was a great musician, taking nothing away from him. Everything that mainstream was, they weren’t, and they were in a league of their own. One of the greatest Aussie bands ever.

[@brandonmarz9519]

I even love myself some days....that broke my heart. I love you Chrissy ♥

[@gerardmcnally]

AH Chrissy, you are so sadly missed, thanks for your great song writing, voice and music, you are a true Aussie Legend!

[@user-rh3qb5dz7z]

There was so much more to this woman than what met the eye and ear. A revelation of sorts that is truly fascinating and simply honest. Always liked her. Saddened, she is gone. Peace in heaven, Christina. 💐

[@dennisfitch2036]

That voice. It makes any song better

[@ronanrogers4127]

Good interview. She was a great singer and performer, happy days in the early 80s

[@MrSakamotothecat]

She was amazing, beautiful and a great singer

[@taralee7076]

What a treasure we lost. I hope you’re flying free and doing whatever makes you happy, and, most of all, I hope you love yourself 🙏🌹💝⭐️🌈

[@michaeldeeker7311]

So sad for the industry to have lost this girl.

[@dsgp7835]

As a deep lover of rock n roll, I feel totally gifted by Chrissy and the Divinyls. I loved their music their stage drama and most of all I love Christine Amphlett. WOW!!!!

[@watchmanschannelofdespair]

I had no idea she passed away 11 years now, I loved her song/video when I heard it on MTV way back in 1990 or 91. RIP Christine, taken to soon.

[@SSnouty]

Lovely woman love the music

[@osocool1too]

RIP Chrissy .. you will always be remembered in rock heaven. 😇🤗 awesome interview by the way 🥳💣

[@CarlosHernandez-yq9yh]

She's still so beautiful in that interview... When she said she even loves herself some days sounded so sexy to me...

[@davidsant5729]

The total and adored Rock and Roll Queen of Australia, if not the world. Who strutted and posed, pouted and blazed all over the stage, in perfect timing, furious unique tone and delivery, in perfect key and rhythm... looking like every man's wet dream. She was peerless. Is Peerless. So glad to see her enjoying some stability there, at that time on her journey.

[@charlesmartella]

Love Divinyls and love Chrissy.

[@LiquidAudio]

Such an amazing lady, RIP Chrissy.

[@blackcorp0001]

Always loved 😍 ❤️ never forgotten ❤️

[@johnhereth2692]

What a beautiful soul and lovely woman.

[@maestrovonhuge9397]

So happy I saw them, there music is still fresh. RIP

[@thesword-sapdog322]

Chrissy locked those eyes and attitude on me as she sang in an Innisfail niteclub back in The Day because she caught me looking at her ... with ..very high interest as I headed to the bathrooms and she gave me that amazing come hither look , I was 18, she was in her school uniform 😶.. a truly awesome stage presence and personal crowd contact.. but it completely freaked me out.. and she loved it. So did I. I won't forget that one. I miss them and her much. Sorry it ended that way. What a band, what amazing music, what a musical legacy and what a life story.

[@matttorrence2900]

She was so great.

[@jipangoo]

I worked in Japanese restaurant in Perth in the mid 80s. We were one of the few exotic places open on Sunday nights. This attracted many bands who were passing through. Phil Collins probably being our most famous customer. The great thing was that to get to the toilet patrons had to walk right through the kitchen wherein I'd collar them for an autograph. Chrissie came in and she was so pissed and sweaty and so completely unattractive but she happily signed a music magazine I just happened to have lying about. RIP sweaty girl Xxx

[@hughhudson8858]

I love stories like this

[@HollyCranfan]

When they get off stage they are in heavy makeup. Sweaty and exhausted. Such a story but performing , drugs , drinking. It normal for singers to look disheveled. Lol. I’ve met some very great performers after a show and have to stand back and sink it all in. RIP Chrissy. God bless.

[@djizzah]

awesome talent, awesome person taken too soon

[@sydthegoat88]

Its great she overcame her demons and realised her worth and how much people love her, the eyes say it all when she gets that eletric look

[@crazychick6666]

Best female singer EVER❤❤❤❤❤

[@markflint2629]

She didn't go easy either RIP Chrissy.

[@earlc5990]

Chrissy...loved your style but never knew you name ti now. RIP 🎉

[@waynejohnson9993]

WE LOVE YOU CHRISSY.....NEVVER FORGOTTEN......YOUR A LEGEND....

[@keithdickens1395]

Such a beautiful lady,RIP Chrissy

[@melissalove2463]

I don’t truly believe that we will ever have another rock chick here in Australia that will even come close to Chrissy’s talent ! Rip GODESS you are massively missed ! 🖕🏼Cancer 🖕🏼

[@user-xn2er4xw4p]

It is a shame that she never got the recognition in the US that she deserved .. I never see her name listed in greatest women of rock .. just ridicules.

[@winning3329]

Such a beautiful woman

[@JulieannHouse]

RIP beautiful Lady of RocknRoll, she found her true love friend in the life, she's found herself ✨️🩷🪶

[@sharonsaunders6895]

Thanks Chrissy Beautiful woman, fantastic performer. X😊

[@SFVGIRL]

I remember seeing her at the US Festival 🎉❤

[@markalan2340]

Wish the complete video of that performance could be located

[@atmuniverse]

I think she was full of music and pouring your soul and heart and mind creates a fusion very few can attain and the stage and love of the people propels her performance to a level we can all cherish upon the vibes

[@BazzaOTW]

Mentioned to the Icehouse team after seeing them in concert recently how good it would be to be able to see Chrissie perform with them one more time. We all agreed about what a talent she was and how big a loss it was when she left us…

[@seanc2061]

Rock and roll legend

[@petergrundy8081]

She pulled me out of the crowd at the Palais theatre onto the stage never forgot it

[@thebronzetoo]

RIP Chrissy...

[@SWLDx]

[@user-jr1bl6tc3k]

One of the best aussie bands unique vocals and lyrics sorry missed

[@cwocky]

LEGEND !!!

[@lestercombs1871]

Rest easy girl.

[@loretta_3843]

I love her answer to being asked about urinating on stage "I don't know if I ever purposely did it"😄

[@markalan2340]

it' a great answers 😀

[@lauraarcher1730]

Lovely!

An eternal icon. RIP. 🦘🇦🇺👍

Beautiful talented iconic artist taken to soon ❤❤❤❤❤ we still love and miss you every day 😘🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@NotYourAveargeAlien]

Thanks Chrissy

[@beefchops1400]

She was a one off….such a shame she was taken so early and under those circumstances! ☹️

[@leodrosia4369]

Gone way too soon

[@MrMasterman6969]

what ever you felt was what makes us rockers go go wowowwwee

[@fatlazypig]

Best concert ever festival hall Brisbane in the early 80s

[@R1979CampCrystalLake]

❤

[@frozenwarning]

What a woman. Very missed

[@MrMasterman6969]

yeah that love you always have it is just a little tough...your a great artist GB

[@gxtro2001]

God I love this Woman

[@ALtheDoctorWho]

It's amazing how the story is the same with every performer when it come to allowing the demons to play with you. The AKA spirits for Alcohol is rightfully so. Great interview with her. She certainly sorted it all out.c];-)

[@kalevala29]

Good interview, if short. I admit a bit surprising. She has a lovely speaking voice. I don't think I'd ever heard her speak before. she seems calm and intelligent. 53 is too young to go. Her health issues were just too serious. I think she wasn't able to fight her cancer the way most people do because her multiple sclerosis prevented her from getting treatment. I really have no doubt that if she had lived, she would still be making music. But we can only wonder. rest in peace Chrissy.🕊☯

[@chocodiledundee1]

Legendary Aussie RockStar ❤

[@LaserRanger15]

Didn't know she passed away actually. I liked her attitude a lot.

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

In 1983 a buddy and myself took turns as we rode from Southern Idaho to Anaheim for the US festival on a Honda Shadow 600. I was never really into the new wave scene and I was there primarily for Metal day. Then the Divinyls and Missing Persons performed and I took notice. I also really liked INXS, Flock of Seagulls (the video “I ran” was always on MTV) and Men at Work had a couple of songs. Great event, too much heat, lots of hot chicks and a ride back to Southern Idaho.

[@stewartlowe4597]

Smart, beautiful and self destructive and dead at fifty-three. Even today the mural in that back lane over the wheely bins in Geelong still has enormous power. I to looked at it and it's nothing on uneven bricks. But, I was amazed at how it came out on the vid I made...it seemed stunning alive. Amphlett is one who will never rest in peace.

[@davidrhodes7655]

We lost her to cancer apparently she passed in New York big loss

[@kevinogracia1615]

R.I.P.

[@lfcblood7054]

In the 80’s and 90’s it wasn’t unusual for Australian successful bands to walk away with Dept. Managers made good money whilst the band’s due the ridiculous contracts they signed inherited the Dept which went to management record companies

[@rbspider]

I thought it was a song from an Austin Powers movie? Never knew there was a band . Until today 2023 I had no idea what the person looked like that sang the song. Same thing with INXS , I was years behind on that wave too.

[@geoffreybreasley9845]

RIP Chrissy surly mist xxxx Pleasure and pain ❤

[@David-sb7vg]

😢 thank you hon xx

[@raymonddaviau4502]

Shes pretty! ❤

[@atlaspath5803]

Like Janis Joplin in my books - you Chrissy are simply awesome.

[@Matt-nm8pj]

I even love myself, some days.

[@raymarsh5455]

I knew one of the nephews of the Divinyls' guitarist. He told me that the guitarist too was soon out of money back in the late 1990s. He then had to rely on his wife.

[@ACDZ123]

Did she have a separate income?

[@hallson2917]

Rest in Peace Chrissy

[@puppetguy64]

She was easily as powerful a singer and stage presence as Pat Benatar. And a raw sexuality like none other. We lost her to soon.

[@jacquelinewilson2279]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@davidhackett7106]

She got her inspiration from Angus Young. No wonder she was a badass. ❤

[@ZulcanPrime]

She was an amazing Aussie gal and a great singer too. I loved her voice and you're not a true blue Aussie if you don't have The Divinyls albums in your collection.

[@bernardgraf7187]

She is missed

[@braxtonoertwig9191]

Gents to all of us who were around in 1991, do we all agree that Christine Amphlett was a hot piece of tail UH.

[@davidhardinge1214]

Too bad she's dead, I've always liked her music.

[@drmether9150]

Amphlett was Punk incarnate!

[@alfalders3020]

HOW GOOD WAS SHE ?

[@scottbrandts610]

GOOD is a massive understatement! The woman was phenomenal!

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

They don't make them like Christine anymore

[@stuvan2976]

great aussies...😊😊

[@motorcitywestauto4674]

I didn't think she was all that attractive.... Until I saw the video for "I touch myself.". After that, I had a crush on her until the day she died.

[@bigtrev761]

🇦🇺😎👍

[@GaZonk100]

in the end she would have been happier being a suburban mum. . .that's the best goal

[@Reflow1000]

what was that ACDC song? I can't for the life of me remember the name

[@1201zj]

Her voice was so sexy. RIP

[@hinjurock70]

I wonder when this interview was originally done? It says it aired in April of 2013, but Chrissy passed away on the month and year, so obviously it was done before that.

[@markalan2340]

yes my mistake it was aired in 2005, have fixed it up

[@hinjurock70]

@@markalan2340 Cool. I wasn't even aware that she had passed away until recently. RIP Chrissy 😞

[@derekcrymble9085]

Austin Powers is crying ..........Hard .

[@bufordmaddogtannen514]

She was soooooo hot!
