INXS - New Sensation Live Reaction

[@carolynh8866]

Imagine if Michael had not passed away. This band would still be the biggest in the world. RIP Michael

[@Texas_Love]

RIP🙏🙏

[@roslynjonsson2383]

Michael could wear a rubbish bag and STILL be the sexiest man on earth lol. Damn he had "the X" factor in spades this bloke. Miss you Michael, RIP you legend 🙏

[@jemxs]

73k fans absolutely loving it! Suicide Blonde and What You Need from this concert really goes off. INXS wrote songs to be performed live!!

[@sammie8923]

You should do, What you need from this concert! Or just do the whole concert because it's awesome!

[@trobrow]

Welcome to Australian music 👍👍

[@Texas_Love]

Glad to be here, thank you!!

[@bonoroo5313]

Sensational band, one of the first Aussie bands to transcend all boundaries, we also have so much hidden talent for you to explore. We were the lucky ones that enjoyed all the music from around the world as well as our homegrown talent.

[@ashleydixon4613]

I grew up on the other side of the world in the Little Rock, Arkansas metro area absolutely loving these guys, from the time I was old enough to really pay attention and start buying albums. (Kick was the first I bought, at 13.). Still one of my all time favorite bands. Never got to see them with Michael, but we were still blown away by them in 2006 with JD Fortune, before he went off the rails. ALL these guys really bring it to the table individually, and work so well together, too. You can tell they are close knit group of brothers/friends, outside of just playing music together.

[@Theresa939]

This whole concert was exceptional!! The guys that filmed and recorded it were so on point, capturing the energy of the band and audience!!

[@bodybalanceU2]

michael has that jim morrison vibe - the two most sensual singers ever to front a band

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

As a 26yo Aussie living in the UK for 3 years,I went to this gig👍 ..What a day/night out! 🤘 🇦🇺 🎶 ✌️

They were the best live band on the planet at this time god they were phenomenal this whole concert is just amazing and still holds up today 31 years later. It’s timeless 😊🇦🇺🥰 RIP Michael

[@samsheridan6272]

I got a free 5th row ticket to one of their Sydney concerts and it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Total surprise

[@myfavoritedream2149]

Michael Hutchence was a baby Mick Jagger...vocals, intelligence, charisma, song-writing ability and a natural-born front-man. Truly an exceptional, once in lifetime talent

[@barnowl5774]

I was at a country pub/hotel venue in the early 1980s when I first saw and heard INXS, a new band. ( At first I thought the name read, 'Inks'!). Everyone was gob-smacked. Even the dancers stopped dancing to watch them. In Australia, many bands honed their skills and craft and earned their stripes through 'Pub Rock'. They had to be good to get the attention of the drinking and noisy patrons. INXS was one of those bands.

[@chaoticoldbore]

They were massive in their prime. Next one from them should be Never Tear Us Apart. It's another that when you hear it you may have heard it before. It's more of a ballad than most of their stuff and features a smooth sexy sax solo.

[@Texas_Love]

Always down for a sax solo! Always!

[@ktwashere5637]

they were absolutely the biggest band in the world in their heyday.

[@jamesrobert680]

What an incredible band.

[@colleenmatulickclarke2059]

That was brilliant! Suicide Blonde from the same Wembley concert is great, also. Miss this band!

[@ginap5148]

A powerful, immaculate voice. How do you know, another one of my favorites !

[@carokat1111]

Had the great pleasure of seeing them live twice. They were phenomenal.

[@jemxs]

I was lucky enough to see them 5 times!!

[@evaadams8298]

I was lucky enough to work with them on the Kick album and sat at their table at the Aria Awards in Sydney when they won best band! Fun Fact TIM Ferris didn’t attend because he was at his fishing club awards night 😂.

[@jemxs]

In 1991 INXS were bigger than Bon Jovi

[@hollygranger3734]

Yes! They were huge!

[@Texas_Love]

Nice! Very fun live!!

[@snk3377]

INXS and Bon Jovi the Best!

[@matthewashman1406]

Um no they were not.

[@RonRezendes]

Such an amazing band that was a huge part of my adolescence in high-school! So many more songs to see and hear!

[@roslynjonsson2383]

You musta known i NEEDED some good "rockin" today, and you've delivered in spades Tex - Head bangin in my chair 🤟🤟🤟🤟 Tex, this week on our tv's across Aus we were all watching "Hey Hey It's Saturday Turns 100", and one of our much loved female artists from the 80s n 90s (Kate Cebrano) made a comment that explained exactly why our Aussie artists are so very good live, it's because the majority of our guys relied on "Hey Hey It's Saturday and Count Down" to get seen across Aus - They were both Aussie tv show's, Count Down 100% music, Hey Hey was a musical reality show (BOTH much loved and pure Aussie) Hey Hey was totally live and Count Down was recorded in live segments. So if our artists wanted to make it big, they had to be able to perform live, and very often impromptu and totally out of the blue..... "Hey Hey" showed Meat Loaf on the show, and he struggled with live. Pretty well much, if you couldn't perform live on "Hey Hey it's Saturday" or "Count Down" then you didn't sell records, because no one would hear your name.

[@Bellas1717]

and in the pubs before you made it to HHIS and Countdown, the toughest gigs with the toughest crowds.

[@roslynjonsson2383]

@@Bellas1717 You betcha....we weren't very polite or tolerant of bands who didn't / couldn't perform to our standards, that's for sure

[@Oracle550]

That concert was🔥'What you need' would be a good one to check out in this concert

[@jasongoodwin644]

They were massive In USA you would have heard many of their hits on your local radio station. They even had a reality tv series In America called Rock Star INXS with Dave Navarro hosting a competition for a new lead singer in about 2005 with winner J.D Fortune self destructing after a short time of fame.

[@carolsanchez2528]

Always reminds me of Morrison. Luv ‘em both!

[@monajohnson3321]

Rest in peace Michael INXS ..top band

[@kazz3956]

They have had a song in a movie. Try Good Times, when INXS teamed with Jimmy Barnes. It was in the movie The Lost Boys and on the soundtrack for that movie. The original song was sung by another legendary Aussie Band called the Easybeats. That band has ties to ACDC as George Young is the older brother of Angus from ACDC. Enjoy the ride that is Aussie music. So much backlog for you to enjoy.

[@hollygranger3734]

I love that film and the soundtrack

[@jemxs]

Also Don't Lose Your Head, in Face Off..crap movie but great soundtrack 😂

[@dipsydoodle7988]

INXS were one of the biggest bands in the world during this time period. Absolute superstars and for good reason. If you want to check out more live from this performance, What You Need and Suicide Blonde are great choices, but you won’t go wrong with anything you choose. If you want to watch some videos of younger INXS, I recommend Falling Down The Mountain & The One Thing to start.

[@philiponcale1820]

INXS, Talking Heads, and The Cars were my favorites when I was a young man in the 80's. All highly talented musicians. I still listen to their music. This particular live recording is a terrific album for a road trip. Crank it up, baby!

[@priority2]

You might have heard this incredible tune on a commercial for a new roller coaster at Six Flags back in the day. So damn catchy….even today, his voice and the band still hold up ❤

[@markdavidson9100]

The second song at Wembley during the summer, it wasn’t long before Michael and Kirk had removed their jackets. Actually, Kirk put his red suit in a wardrobe after the gig, left for a while and was attacked by moths. He also fell, a few hours before the gig so medics had to take care of him

[@liveitup67]

nice to see people still taking an interest in them. i've been listening to them since 1980, and I got to see them live at my high school in 80/81. Michael Hutchence was skinny with acne scars back then.

[@leighrussell4625]

Thank you for you reacting to INXS you are the only youtuber who has said their name right, all the others say their name wrong. And the reason im pointing it out to you is bc his loss was too great for us Aussies to take, and for peaple around the world to Fuck their name up for them.

[@Texas_Love]

Understandable! You guys give me so much knowledge, thank you! RIP Michael🙏

[@Dr_KAP]

And this wasn’t even in Australia- this was in London so goes to show their international fame. Mind you Cold Chisel could have had the same success but unfortunately some issues held them back from that and it’s only now the rest of the world is discovering them via KZbin.

[@hollygranger3734]

Unfortunately many brilliant Aussie artists just don’t make it in the USA but are huge here and in Asia and Europe, even South America.

[@pmR32red]

👍

[@cindycollier456]

This song was on a commercial on TV in the past 2 years. My older kids and I would dance to their music in the 90s. Can you please react to Def Leppard Fooling? The drummer Rick Allen had lost his arm in a car accident after the original video. He was an inspiration.

[@neridahicks7160]

A few years ago I was able to watch this entire concert at the cinema , it was so good people dancing in the aisles (us old farts) . It’s still really hard to see Michael on the screen he is still so missed all these years later he has left a huge hole in Aussie music 💔but we rock on through the catalogue him and his massively talented band mates have left us.

[@MrD4nnyh]

1991 this was my first gig. Aged 16. 90,000 people there for SummerXS. Three hour drive down to the old Wembley stadium then three hours back after 11 hours of bands lol

[@ladylynnmaree]

Need you tonight is another great song

[@nirvanaa5556]

Loving your reactions. They are so real and no introduction using the 'it's your boy ...." line...love it. Try Aussie band AC/DC - It's A Long Way to the Top (IF You Wanna Rock ' n' Roll) [HD].

[@Texas_Love]

Thank you! I've heard most of AC/DC and love them, but I will for sure be looking for live performances!

[@nirvanaa5556]

@@Texas_Love Try AC/DC - Let There Be Rock (Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, April 1978). This is less than 2 years before lead singer Bon Scott dies alone of alcohol poisoning. It highlights his raw singing talent and Angus Young's love of the guitar.

[@trexpixx4590]

You can not go wrong with anything INXS! If you think the crowd was rocking wait to later! They were bigger than B.Jovi, U2 and others of their time. They were considered "the best live band in the world" They have the awards too. They were kids when they started in 1977. Three brothers and three non brothers, but they considered themselves brothers, 'cause they grew up together. They also invented this style of funky/rock/dance music. IMHO there were only three bands on this level, Zeppelin, Queen and INXS. INXS opened for Queen @ Wembley before they sold it out themselves, the only Australian band to do it.

[@mals4125]

Should really check out their early stuff - straight up brilliant rock. Just Keep Walking, Dancing on the Jetty, Kiss the Dirt, Don't Change

[@claudiagenesin3785]

100,000 people! Great band. I was madly in love with Michael in the 80s. Who wasn't!!! 🙂You could also check out Matt Corby, especially Brother( Like a Version live video), Trick of the Light and Song for Interlude from the Resolution Tour...anything really! And while you're at it, you might like to explore anything by Tash Sultana... a one woman band. Both amazing current day artists

[@lyndamac1058]

This song was written by Michael ( lead singer ) and Andrew Farriss another Aussie musician.. Andrew music and lyrics Michael.

Probably about 80,000 people here at this concert.. RIP Michael. x You need to hear Aussie band AC/DC do "Thunderstruck" live... Highest tickets sold would be for: U2 (26.2 million).

Saw them in 1994… they kicked ASS!! 💥 Another suggestion if you love your rock, the Baby Animals - Early Warning, Backbone, Painless, One Word, Rush You.. they’ve got a few bangers! 👍🏻 The Aus music scene is a rabbit hole you may not want to exit for a while.. strap yourself in and enjoy the ride!😎
