INXS "Never Tear Us Apart" REACTION Video | best reaction video to 80s music

[@lbd-po7cl]

One of the truly great Aussie bands from the 80s and 90s. Michael Hutchence was an outstanding talented songwriter and singer, and his death was sheer tragedy.

[@mistersurrealist]

This one played at the end of Michael's funeral while the band carried his coffin to the hearse in front of the church.

[@goldenruletv7301]

R.I.P. Michael....one of the best front men of all-time.

[@bradwaghorn8955]

Michael Hutchence the sexiest front man that has ever lived and an incredible voice.

[@nickyd6457]

INXS’s “I need you tonight” is possibly the most sensual song ever written 😊 x

[@davidarmstrong3564]

And "Kick"

[@Godric_71]

Being born in 71, i got to experience the greatest decade of all time, the 80's. If you missed it, you missed out, BIG.

[@thrusta100]

Puts the 2020s to shame...

[@Godric_71]

@aaron bron Hell yeah it did. We were allowed to be kids.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

This is one of their more rare slow songs. In general they're more upbeat. New Sensation, Bitter Tears, What You Need. Anything from their live concert at Wembley is great. They were essentially one of the top 3 bands in the late 80s, early 90s..on MTV constantly. They're real legends, Unfortunately Micheal Hutchence, the lead singer, died in 1997.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

♥ this song! I heavily suggest *INXS - Don't Change*

[@firecrakka]

I always got Vampire movie vibes too.... It's shot in Prague and the line "we could live, for a thousand years" screams vampire to me. 😄

[@mssuziquzi]

Michael's voice was incredible and he was gorgeous, so charismatic. I cried when I heard he had died. Such a loss, gone far too soon. Absolutely love this song.

[@chopperdeath]

I always put him up there with Paul Rodgers as a top tier rock singer. Outstanding.

[@mikebunch3189]

honestly , i cried when he died . the way he died was insane ... how could that happen to such a good looking man . ...? such a great singer .... how ? why ?

[@alisonholland7531]

Thanks ladies, Michael and first became friends as 16 year olds,I still miss him and wish he was still here - he should have run a mile from Paula - miss you so much mate,love you forever 💗

[@classicaustralianmusicandf7425]

Video shot in Prague with the super charismatic Michael just fits the vibe. Another huge rabbit hole with this band.

[@chop3625]

Michael Hutchence, last of the great front men. INXS was just HUGE.

[@digger5521]

The awkward moment when mother and daughter first lay eyes on Hutch lol well handled

Welcome to Aussie Rock. INXS, ACDC, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Midnight Oil just to name a few. Also, I'm sure you will like John Farnham in concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO), singing Australia's adopted anthem 'You're the Voice' and also, his rendition of The Beatles 'HELP'. You will not be disappointed in your reactions.

[@evansutcliffe1099]

how dare you not include men at work! in all seriousness though all these bands and im assuming the etc that men at work were thought of haha

The video clip was made in Prague Czech Republic. INXS was one of best bands in a Time when we had lyrics and just good music (60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90”s)..after late 2000..everything went down hill.

[@xanajak]

INXS owned the '80s. This is their most intense (and best) song. Insanely talented band for the ages.

[@sdob9054]

INXS is extremely talented! Please listen to Need You Tonight, Disappear, Suicide Blonde, Elegantly Wasted, Not Enough Time and more!

[@greigclement9081]

People/reactors who react to this as their first INXS song are pleasantly surprised by the saxophone solo. The saxophone isn't on every INXS track, but it is frequent on their music. Kirk Pengilly is the saxophonist, but he mainly plays guitar in the band.

[@Mncrr]

1987 was a great year for music. These guys ruled for me.

[@hackapump]

"I told you, that we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why" Those lines get me every time. Brilliant. Beautiful.

[@fourtails1192]

I consider myself truly privileged to have seen them live a couple of times. RIP Michael 😔

[@Zlata1313]

An FYI on Michael. He had terrible stage fright. He also was very nearsighted. By not wearing glasses onstage he couldn't see past the 1st row of fans and didn't get so nervous. Saw them more than once in the 80s, he was a great front man.

[@louiehernandez1477]

You're so lucky, I love INXS. Never saw them live, a little before my time.

[@kathydurow6814]

I was lucky enough to catch them in their early years playing The Loved One (a cover?) & other live at my uni in the early 80s. Charismatic even despite the bad haircuts & acne back then, only improved as the years went on.

[@sentinelmortgagecorp4291]

What a loss for the music world it was when Michael Hutchence died. I listen to this band to this day but it’s hard to watch their videos and see him. They were such a big part of the MTV generation and to be reminded of how cool he was when I see him just makes me sad now.

[@chrisbuesnell3428]

The track is a masterpiece. Beautiful Prague. Great lyrics. Michael looking sexy as hell. Brilliant arrangement. And the mood. Wow. How can two woman not make a comment on Michael. Look for a different job.

[@TheEnnisfan]

I miss those Aussie boys. Memories of high school. And Hutch had some soul in those pipes. RIP, Hutch.

[@suecottrell4003]

🥰They become really big 👍in the world and America.🥰Michael was a 🇦🇺mesmerising performer.💕💕💕💕

[@rmw250]

Great song. Great Aussie band

[@carolynwhetham9514]

When they did this live they had the full strings on stage. Nothing fake about our Aussie guys.

[@bernbee1679]

Michael was so charismatic his tone is unbeatable. As for the rest of the band they were such great musicians ❤

[@abelcano3723]

The violins going, then pengilly pops in at the cemetery with the Sax and the singer (Michael hutchence) walks like a declaration of different moods by people who cross each other’s path at the same point in life.beautiful!

[@carmelmcshanag8144]

INXS were huge in their heyday. Their style was unique and their sound just as innovative. As great as these guys were as a band, I feel as though when Michael died, INXS died with him. RIP Michael 💕

[@UberFlambe]

One of the best live performers I ever saw, first in a small London venue when they were just starting to break through, to latterly at Wembley Stadium in front of 80,000. Top-notch band and a truly great frontman/vocalist in Michael Hutchence.

[@italofilipe6414]

They should react to the live version at Wembley

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

One hundred percent. Bought the VHS {Yes!!!} when the album came out. Watched that tape so many times and I definitely agree... that's their best testament. I would also encourage listening the "Full Moon Dirty Hearts", album for me their absolute masterpiece. Michael solo album right before he left us it's also a *must have and listen* to really get what a loss is without him still creating his own music.

[@marvinbone1379]

Yes. THIS was refreshing, to see and hear, two people intelligently listening, without pausing. So insightful that the intro looks cinematic. Thanks! TelAviv Israel❤

[@cavebeastdemon3631]

If you want to hear the song without pauses, watch the OFFICIAL video so the people who created the song in the first place get all the credit. These women have NOTHING to do with creating or performing the song and don't deserve any profit from it!!!! That is why you are supposed to pause!

[@jeffstevens4262]

Beautiful shots of Prague blended in with this beautiful iconic song by Michael Hutchence and INXS. What's not to like?

[@tomkelly8774]

This band was prolific.. This song was one of the songs that defined the 1980s, Mike's tragic death, Ended the band, R.I.P. Michael..🙏

[@neilmoulden5323]

Loved that video. When I took the wife to Prague we recognized a lot of the places from it.

[@deechteflurk]

It amazes me time and time again there are still people not knowing INXS. Its the first time i hear anyone commenting the lyrics. Props for that!

[@artistjoh]

Love that Australian music. Hutchence slowed the song down to the tempo of a Viennese waltz, so of course the Director, another great Australian, shot it along the banks of the Vitava in Prague. Amazing song. When Hutchence died, this song was playing as they carried his coffin out of Sydney's St. Andrew's Cathedral.

[@drakulkacz6489]

WOW, I didn´t know that you can move Danube or Prague! 😆 Sorry, it´s Prague and the river is Vltava. 😉

[@artistjoh]

@@drakulkacz6489 My apologies. The song is indeed at the tempo of a Viennese waltz, and the city is indeed Prague so I simply made a very incorrect assumption about that being the Danude. I should have checked. It is such a beautiful city, and it is very beautiful along that river, which I now know to be the Vitava. I will now correct it. Thank you for pointing it out to me.

[@jemxs]

The best ballad ever written imo! Perfection. INXS are an amazing band especially live. Huge in the 80s and 90s. The lead singer Michael Hutchence unfortunately died in 1997. So many great songs to check out. Anything frome their 1991 Wembley stadium concert is brilliant. 72k fans having the time of their lives.

One of my favorite bands. Thanks!

[@nycot107]

The music video was shot in Prague

[@marshabailey1121]

Michael - a poet - wrote the song for ex girlfriemd Michele Bennet. Michael Hutchence was beautiful, charismatic and a wonderful singer..a baritone where most lead singers were tenors. He was magical and at heart a humble sensitive guy, even shy. His superstardom and hard work played a huge part in this group of friends becoming the biggest band to ever come out of Oz. My favourite song and video is Disappear, which came from the next album (X) after mega hit Kick.

[@jeffjones6221]

One of my favorite inxs tunes. Rip Michael Hutchence.

[@richardrodriguez2120]

I’ve always loved this song. I was stationed in Germany when this one came out. Every time I hear this it takes me back to those simple times when I was young and had some great friends and even better times. Walking through Fuerth with my girlfriend at the time is what I’ve always connected this song to

[@hdmccart6735]

I hear you mate..

[@chopperdeath]

I'm with you on this.

[@stephenhanft1226]

INXS were a very successful 80's band that peaked in popularity during the mid-to-late 80's. Never Tear Us Apart came from their most successful album, Kick. They had a really good sound and have many more songs worth reacting to.

A bit out of the norm for INXS but one of the greatest ballads I ever heard. I am not surprised both of you enjoyed it. I subbed your channel because having two generations reacting to the same music is such a great idea. I'll be looking forward to hearing both of you react.

Theyd get even better as they went on to perform this song live at wembley a couple years later and it was even better live it was spectacular as were the rest of their songs at the wembley concert. They were around for a long time prior to that but to me that was really their pinnacle.

[@paulauvray1962]

The best Australian band in the 80's 😍

INXS have been around for 30 years . They have 11 albums A bunch of number 1 hits .

Actually, as I'm on their email list, I just got a message from them celebrating their 45th anniversary. Made me feel super old. 🙁

You need to do the live version. They played this at Michael's funeral. So sad.

[@patcurrie9888]

You two struck gold with INXS, good job on researching the name! INXS was a World band. They were BIG in the late 80s to mid 90s,

[@dee-smart]

I'm surprised your mum (who is my age group) has never heard of INXS, especially if she is an American. They were regarded in the late 80's as THE top live band in the world. Michael was born in Jan 1960, one month before me, and in my country Australia and I followed INXS from the start. They were a pub band originally. You should watch some of the Wembley performance for the KICK concert which includes this song too. They also played in 1997 their last series of concerts in middle America in Aspen, Colorado - link to full concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKXEaHucp9irrKs. This link is the same one as you just heard but from Wembley in 1991: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZOXh4WGntufp9U

[@racinnut77]

Pick just about any INXS song and it will be a great jam. They are one of my all time favorite bands.

[@Robbo766]

Being a Sydney boy, I first noticed INXS on a billboard for a gig they were doing at a local pub in 1979 and I read the name as Inks. So, I just thought the band were called The Inks or something like that. Then I found out it was an abreviation of inexcess and the name was inspired by IXL jam (breadspread) and XTC (British band). In brief, Midnight Oil's manager gave them their name because their original name, The Farris Brothers, was kinda crap. I got to see these guys numerous times in the 80's, and it was a no brainer that they'd do well internationally if they stuck at it. Not putting my local music scene down, but a lot of our bands were either masculine and brooding, or arty and brooding. Michael Hutchence was a bit of a brooding type, but he knew how to use hairspray and give the ladies a fantasy. That's what separated INXS from hyper masculine Aussie bands like Air Supply (just joking). Nice to see the Michael Hutchence trick still working.

This band was phenomenal live, truly top shelf musicians and vocalists. Sax is what's missing from music these days, some of the best songs from the 80's and 90's had sax...adds so much more to the instrumentals.

[@kathydurow6814]

Also I get the feeling that Michael might have been whispering into Andrews ear when he was writing this. It's just such a good INXS song.
