@@gunlean7738 I guess it'd depend on what the tears were fermented in and how long they're allowed to age... though I do also suspect that the lyric isn't meant to be taken literally, but more metaphorically; like how far he would go to make amends for the pain he'd caused. Sadly; Michael's final act in life, means he is unable to do that now in any other way than through the music he contributed to.

[@richard_n]

If Michael Hutchence hadn't died, INXS could have easily gone on to be one of the top 10 bands of all time. They were really that good. Just look at their incredible body of work in the short time they were around. You guys have to do a deep dive into their music, I promise you won't regret it.

Saddest thing I’ve heard (could be a complete falsify), but Quentin Tarantino was in talks with Hutch to play Bill in “Kill Bill”. Would’ve been so damned good

[@dreww1609]

"I Need You Tonight" is their most famous song - almost impossible not to get up and dance when you hear it - they were one of the truly talented bands from the mid to late 80's - they were HUGE. The whole album "Kick" is almost certainly one of the top 100 albums of the decade if not higher. The lead singer was a icon for women and he passed in a sad and unusual - to say he least - manner - but they were awesome back in 1986-87 one of the real bands back in an odd but great decade of music. This song just grows on you more and more and gets stuck in your head all day.

They are not just a "New Wave" band. They were a great Rock/Dance band from Australia. Please listen to their earlier classics like "The One Thing", "Don't Change" and "Original Sin". Then you can get more into their huge Fame-years with songs like "New Sensation", "Devil Inside" and "Suicide Blonde". It's a tragedy what happened to their lead singer, the incomparable Michael Hutchence, RIP. He was an absolutely amazing vocalist and song writer, in my opinion.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

"Was that rock?" Well, yes. This is 80s Aussie rock. INXS are kinda a genre unto themselves. The album this song is off of was released in 87. INXS were huge. They were known as one of the best live acts in the world during the late 80s-early 90s. Please, please please, check these guys out live. What You Need, or Suicide Blonde or Original Sin, live from Wembley Stadium in 91 will give you a glimpse into who they were at the height of their popularity. Amazing, talented, tight and fun.

INXS was one of the greatest concerts I have ever seen, and they are among the nicest guys in rock and roll I have ever had the pleasure to meet (not that I've met a lot; but I have met a few of them). I won backstage passes and took a girlfriend for her birthday present. She was a huge INXS fan, and everyone in the band treated her like she was the entire reason they had come to town to play the concert. This is one of the few ballads or slow songs that they have in their catalog. They have a lot of great pop-rock songs that you can enjoy as you continue your journey. Keep up the great work!

[@ps5392]

INXS formed in 1977 but they are largely known as an 80’s group as that’s when most of their hits happened. Like this one, which came out in 1987. This is one of their slower songs and while they aren’t ‘hard rock’ they definitely get heavier than this. They have a ton of great tunes if you feel like checking them out further.

INXS is a rock band from Australia. This was a love song, so slower and more emotional. I was lucky enough to see the very last tour of INXS in 1997, just a couple of months before the lead signer Michael Hutchence died. I KNOW this from witnessing it in person... His voice is AS GREAT in a live performance as it is in the studio. The whole band was awesome live! Most girls I knew in the 80's and early 90's wanted to have his baby! lol :) One of my female friends told me that every time she heard him sing, she started ovulating! lol. The last vinyl album I ever purchased, before switching to CD's, was INXS "Kick", a great album with some of their biggest hits. I still have that album. You need to listen to "New Sensation", "What you need", "Need you tonight", "Mystify", and "Suicide Blonde". Their official videos are great as well. I would try and watch them so you can see their personalities and "it" factor.
