-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y...

[@ricobonifacio1095]

Dude has such a great voice. A true frontman.

[@JOVONO]

He was one of the best and yet is never on the lists of top frontmen yet people like Kurt Cobain are listed who is more of a lead singer not a frontman and certainly not a performer I see someone like Freddie Mercury as the showman who commands the audience whereas Michael was the frontman who connected with his audience

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

“I was standing/You were there” You nailed it. It’s love in two simple sentences.

[@tjtampa214]

Agreed! Love that so much that line. The whole song is very haunting and some kind of psychological ring to it. Pretty cool even though very simple as you say.

[@gbsailing9436]

Next line..."Two worlds colliding..."

[@Debcatawba]

I saw INXS two times. The last was in the pouring rain downtown Cleveland, the kind of rain we call gully washers. There were maybe 100 brave souls who braved the elements. INXS was freaking awesome. Michael Hutchence walked through the sparse crowd while taking his clothes off. He was barefoot, no shirt and singing his heart out. We begged and pleaded for them to play Suicide Blonde. They ended the show with that song. It’s one of my most precious concert memories. How lucky we were to see INXS.

[@Meandmymirror]

Lucky!

[@wadsworthred9940]

Saw them at Blossom Music center... Thankfully it was dry !!

[@bolobolo7928]

That is fucking awesome!! What a moment!

[@ShannonR1969]

Guys, I WAS a high school girl in 1987, my senior year. Literally EVERYONE loved INXS, and every single song on this album was and remains a banger.

[@Theresa939]

You need to watch their Wembley Stadium concert from 1991. Perfection start to finish. Filming was spectacular!!

[@jeffstevens4262]

Best line of the song (for me) was 'I was standing. You were there, two worlds collided' Genius songwriting there. RIP Michael Hutchence.

[@nyrocks5580]

INXS were a fantastic band.

[@tkcurtis1725]

I was 17 and in love with my first girlfriend when this came out...was OUR song!!! I'm 53 now and still think of her when I hear this!!!

[@cecilyweinstein8675]

“Don’t Change” is the best. Never gets old. Incredible. “Need you Tonight” is also one you must do

[@Shoofyou10]

INXS is extremely underrated. They were huge in the 80s for a time and michael hutchence was such a charismatic and amazing frontman. Such a shame that he died so young.

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

Spot on. His name hardly ever comes up when people talk about brilliant artists who died way too young. He was a legitimately elite rock tenor. Which is so rare. His voice was so uniquely textured. It brought a completely different vibe when compared to any of his contemporary rock vocalists. I read an interview of Bono a few years ago. He and Michael were really good friends(U2 posthumously wrote Stuck in a Moment about him). He said U2 and INXS were beginning a collaboration when he died. Would love to have seen where that went.

[@robertaw3204]

I was in my early 20’s at this time and was in love with this band, explore their other songs. Suicide blond might be your taste.

[@surlechapeau]

A&A, you'll love their "What You Need", "The One Thing" and "Need You Tonight" !!!

[@tjtampa214]

Ohh yeahhh What You Need... I knew I only like a couple but you guys are reminding me of more that I do like.

[@LudvikM]

Or Mystify

[@georgedominguez255]

And Original Sin produced by Nile Rodgers!

[@ericv181]

“Don’t change” and “The one thing” are their best in my humble opinion

[@soapytiger]

The earlier, the better IMO

[@johnhughes3214]

I think you’ll appreciate the orchestral majesty of this song. After his tragic death in 1997, this song was played at the funeral of lead singer Michael Hutchence, as his coffin was carried out of St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney, Australia by the remaining band members, with 2000 people in attendance.

[@Meandmymirror]

Best frontman ever

[@davidlitchke4964]

Their musicianship was so outstanding.

[@AndyMatts44]

When Alex told Andy to imagine himself as a 1987 high school girl and INSTANTLY had "Denise!" ready as his girl-name, I thought "hmmm.... maybe someone has already imagined this particular scenario....." I'm very partial to INXS's early stuff. From Shaoo Shoobah: The One Thing, Spy of Love, Soul Mistake, Black and White, and, of course Don't Change From the Swing: Original Sin, I Send A Message, Burn For You From Listen Like Thieves: What You Need, Listen Like Thieves, Kiss the Dirt, Shine Like It does, This Time I saw them live during their Kick tour. They definitely knew how to play to the crowd. Hutchence doing his slither on the stage, and the rest of the band striking dramatic rock star poses. Great show!

[@TheFlowNetwork]

True story...about 20 years ago, my band Flow was playing at a club in Phuket, Thailand. We used to do a bluesy, 60's Soul version of "Never Tear Us Apart"...guitar heavy, no keys or sax, lots of harmonies. So we're playing the intro to the song...instead of keys it's guitar arpeggios with Oooooh. Oooooh harmonies...unrecognizable. As soon as I launch into the lyrics, this big guy sitting at a table in the back stands up like he finally recognizes the song....stands there, grooving at his table, dancing in place all through the tune until the end and then gives us a big ovation and sits down. A little bit later the waitress brings us a round of drinks from this guy. We thanked him and kept on playing. We used to do a four hour show with no breaks, so at some point I guess he left....I didn't notice. After our set the club manager asked us if we knew who that guy was? No. Who?....the drummer from INXS.

[@Meandmymirror]

Cool!!

[@tas22222]

Holy Crap, what a great story ! That Band was awesome and each and every one of them was so talented !! Cheers for sharing that :)

[@prawn76]

AWESOME

[@Whateva67]

Right on, I liked Phuket when I was there,lotsa fun. Hello from British Columbia 😊

[@ronpotts6385]

The album that this song is from, "Kick", is one of those rare albums without a single bad or "throwaway" song. There's so much 🔥, you need an extinguisher. "Devil Inside" is another really great track from it.

[@princebloodgrave8097]

The entire album is great. Mystify is my favorite song on the album.

[@peterg219]

INXS, what can I say about this legendary Aussie band. "if I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears"; "we all have wings but some of us don't know why"... more great lyrics. Cheers from Sydney AU.

[@CamiMack5616]

My favorite line is, "If I hurt you, I'll make wine from your tears." This really is an amazing song. Michael Hutchence was so gorgeous; gone too soon... age 37.

[@Raittway]

Great band! Women melted listening to their song "Need You Tonight". As Alex would say "I bet so many babies were conceived when this was released". Plus Michael was gorgeous.

[@mperezmcfinn2511]

I watched a reaction to the video for "Never Tear Us Apart" by a woman who knew nothing about the band. When Michael appeared onscreen, you could see her eyes light up as she blurted out, "Hello."

[@Raittway]

@@mperezmcfinn2511 I get that! He was handsome, very sexy and had a great voice . Perfect front man.

[@Meandmymirror]

Beautiful human

[@edoq78]

It is a simply majestic song - RIP Hutch, what a loss

[@georgejetson795]

the mtv videos always raises the bar of the song ..the 80s kicks ass again

[@virginia_diverdown1]

MYSTIFY!!! Listen to MYSTIFY!!

[@Shadowrider1872]

Great band! MH was an amazing singer and total shame he is gone. 😢

[@heidigrezel2596]

Great performer, too! Not all are great front men.

[@badkitty4922]

One hell of a poet.

[@libsterella]

Love, love, love INXS! I've been listening to them since the 1982 album Shabooh Shoobah. Y'all need to hear "The One Thing" and "Don't Change." I finally got to see them live a month before Michael Hutchence passed. It was a great concert.

[@tas22222]

Another amazing, talented man, gone way too soon!! NO one like him no one sings like him and that sucks !! Mike RIP we are still listening

[@cjr1324]

"If I hurt you, I'd make wine, from your tears...." Another pretty damn good lyric.

[@jathygamer8746]

All of it

[@badkitty4922]

​@@jathygamer8746yes. ALL. OF IT.❤ My favorite song out of the many.

[@hectified]

Interesting. I think most of the lyrics are quite good, but that line has always been a bit of a problem for me.

[@badkitty4922]

@@hectified how so?

[@jtf2dan]

You have no idea how HUGE this was when it came out.....I remember it playing, sometimes 4 times in an hour on almost every radio station for about a month...i dont recall a song getting as much airplay.....

[@maryreilly5092]

I think because everyone was getting tired of Big Hair bands by the late 80's and needed a change.😊

[@jtf2dan]

@@maryreilly5092no there were lots of other genres besides big hair metal.....simple minds, duran duran, new order, fine young cannibbals, euythmics, tears for fears, depeche mode, U2, REM etc. It got air play as it was THAT GOOD.

[@maryreilly5092]

@@jtf2dan I fully agree with you. For me, by 1987-88, the bands like Poison, Cinderella, Ratt, and the like, previously enjoyable had peaked. People loving Rock, in their teens and twenties were starting to embrace something new and fresh! That's what I meant.✌️

[@DM-hk4cw]

"Devil Inside," "Need You Tonight," and "What You Need" are all massive songs with excellent videos to boot. I can't decide which one is my favorite.

[@michellemiles9966]

I always liked the video for Mediate.

[@jemxs]

All of them!

[@corbinhbucknerjr558]

"The One Thing", from 1982. If you don't recall it, look it up. I guarantee you you'll add it to your INXS list.

[@m.y.o.b.724]

All of the above, but I'd add "Suicide Blonde".

[@sheilaholmes996]

I also love I Send a Message, the first song of theirs that I heard.

[@MrOx85]

I appreciate those who can appreciate great music.This band is iconic.😊

[@evangeline3152]

I wore that CD out! Loved INXS. Thanks for listening guys.

[@jaybengston1164]

"What You Need" is their biggest banger, imo. "Need You Tonight" and "Devil Inside" are great, too.

[@kbusby4824]

I would add Suicide Blond.

[@alrivers2297]

I'd say Need You Tonight is their most well known song. But I think their best are Suicide Blonde and Devil Inside. All much better than the one they heard today

[@swordmonkey6635]

Kissing Dirt.

[@gregsager2062]

"Don't Change"

[@josephwalker5577]

I’d recommend “New Sensation”. It’s a banger in every sense of the word.

[@GRAHAMESIMPSON]

INXS ACDC Rush Suicide Blonde is another hot song by INXS

[@leslapins7617]

The best line for the is “cause we all have wings, but some of us don’t know why”, but I agree the line you mentionned is beautiful despite simple!

[@allisonreed7682]

It’s impossible to overstate how charismatic frontman Michael Hutchence was. During that time, U2 and INXS both were riding massive waves of success and popularity. For your next INXS reaction, check out “Don’t Change” from 1982. It’s an absolute banger!

[@eglev-g3904]

indeed, a super positive song!

[@shelq3814]

Don't Change is one of their BEST!❤

[@mals4125]

Absolutely great rock tune from a great ROCK band.

[@TheAsiavol]

Don’t change is a gem! Shabooh Shoobah was the go to cassette in my VW Rabbit during College days.

[@lawrencekelli]

Don't Change has always been my Fav! It's fantastic.

[@ndlouder]

You have to do "New Sensation" LIVE from Wembley Stadium. The actual video performance. One of the greatest performances of any live band ever... Goosepumps!

[@frankticasdroppinknowledge2363]

This is a great song. The whole álbum is great from start to finish. They weren't afraid of incorporating different elements into their sound. To me, they were better than U2. Great reaction, guys!

[@maryreilly5092]

Yes, better than later U2. Earlier U2 was pretty top notch IMHO!

[@mattmunn71]

@@maryreilly5092 Early INXS > Later INXS go check out Shaboo Shabah or The Swing albums from early 80's if you havent already. Controversial U2 Opinion incoming, Zooroopa and Zoo Station albums are my favorite U2 albums, maybe they were just the right stuff at the right time for me then.

[@badkitty4922]

Kick is their best album imho.

[@JOVONO]

At least in quality both INXS and U2 were so much better then any 80s artist yet didn’t have the fanfare of a lot of lame pop groups that were very one note And were two of the few 80s acts who were able to adapt to the changing music scene of the 90s and still be successful

[@YTSlide]

THAT SAX!!!!

[@dabigsqueezy]

This song is a slow burn from start to finish.

[@AndICanTalk2]

Wonderful song. Such a fantastic band. Love every song from that album, Kick. Great stuff.

[@sarahp9086]

I was fortunate enough to see these gentlemen live, in Canada no less. RIP Michael.

[@honeybrown1997]

"Never Tear Us Apart" is the foreplay. "Guns in the Sky", coitus. "Beautiful Girl"...afterglow. "Never Tear Us Apart" is so freaking sensual. Kirk Pengilly gave good sax on this one, for sure. Michael Hutchence was my SUGA' back in the day! Saw INXS in concert twice, and he was something else. So charismatic, charming and engaging with the audience.

[@nosparex]

With all the talk of chainsaws and lumberjacks, you have to do Jackyl's "Lumberjack." Not only do you get "real" chainsaw sounds, you also get a chainsaw solo.

[@Nightrelic]

I just looked to make sure you haven't done Need You Tonight yet and you haven't, so that should be your next INXS song, but don't make the same mistake so many others who reacted to the song made. If you really want to experience Need You Tonight properly, you need to pull up the video that combines it with the video for the song Mediate. When it ran on MTV, they would usually run the two songs together. That's how probably most of us experienced it for the first time. Radio stations would play the two songs together too.

[@mamasinger49]

Stunning song, the video that goes with it is quite haunting and suits the song beautifully.

[@alliegal45]

Anything from INXS the live at Wembley video you won’t regret any of the tunes or the crowd

[@merlinsclaw]

This song was HUGE. Michael Hutchence was one of the best frontmen to ever take the stage. Watch some live performances from INXS to see the charisma and the power he had over an audience. ❤️

[@mikeythehat6693]

I like the "Make wine from your tears" line, that's pretty cool. Incidentally this song has been adopted by the Port Adelaide Football Club in The AFL and is used to signify the Clubs solidarity at every game. (they will never tear us apart") It's worth a deep dive in the youtube rabbit hole to see the fans singing it in unison. The songwriter, ( and INXS keyboardist) Andrew Farris is still kicking along in semi-retirement but now he writes country songs in outback Australia.

[@airbrushpower]

You need to sit with this one. Its an 'S' tier song.

[@titusmoody5616]

Best song is"What you Need" great saxophone in it🎉

[@danielventura8073]

HUGE INXS fan here. I saw them 5 times and have all akbuns and 12 inch remixes. All the Michael Hutchence real stuff.

[@Lonejustice1]

They should watch the video.

[@stephenstrudwick8095]

You need to see the official INXS video "Need You Tonight / Mediate", as it combines two songs from the Kick album, and is a friggin banger!!!

[@Meandmymirror]

I almost know all the words!

[@jwccsnm]

It's like symphony meets the blues with a sprinkle of doo wop

[@jenndavin]

Michael H of INXS was like no other. My band uses to day he had "Slither" like no other. We never covered one of their songs because I was not able to pull of his slither. Watch their concert for Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Amazing. And Michael seems to be showing off for the Princess.

[@aliarobinson6617]

you've heard/seen nothing until you've seen this live. they are better than studio..every single time! Love michael Hutchence so much!

[@henkgaas9446]

Saw them live when this became a hit. They were performing as a support act for Queen! Initially they were booed! But they silenced the public. Michael Hutchence is one of the great frontmen of the eighties and nineties.

[@brendanfromireland]

Awww lads this is at least an A+

[@mperezmcfinn2511]

I'm convinced that Michael was intentionally channeling Mick Jagger on this song. The "We could live" line is one of the most jaggeresque deliveries I've ever heard on a non-Sones composition.

[@mledbetter]

Imagine being a 15 yr old high school girl in 1980 and seeing Michael Hutchence slither across the MTV screen singing “The One Thing” and finally getting what the big deal about sex is! He was the first to truly make my girl move. Apologies for the TMI😀 Then you dive in and discover all of the music and seeing them 8 times over several years. They were a phenomenal live band. Just a bunch of Aussie guys playing in a bar band in the biggest arenas. Their concert “Live Baby Live” filmed at Wembley shows their “magic.”

[@leslapins7617]

“New sensation” must be the next for a 180 graus mood, but equaly fantastic!

[@lisalisa13]

"Kiss the Dirt" might be more what Andy is expecting from them.

[@tsch38301]

Oh this was a song that made young couples in 87' completely devote themselves to each other

[@perfumegarden1]

Gorgeous man Gorgeous voice that was Michael Hutchence

[@Meandmymirror]

Absolutely

[@TFEnright5]

The best INXS song in my opinion is Don’t Change. It’s a song that they for years used to close their concerts.

[@AlexSadof]

This album hit the airwaves like a damn nuke. It was massive.

[@ZACH_95_]

Definitely listen more of them! Such a great band.

[@ralpholson7616]

Absolutely my favorite INXS song. It is killer when the sax comes in.

[@vicklen51]

Saw many great songs in comments One of my favorites “Not Enough Time”

[@kencoleman5007]

Some of the most iconic INXS songs would be "New Sensation" or "One of My Kind", but I'd also suggest "The One Thing" and "Beautiful Girl".

[@anthonyfoster6737]

"The One Thing" for sure

[@tjtampa214]

One of my kind.... yes.

[@jemxs]

One of my kind is actually Need You Tonight!

@@jemxsthank you

[@m.y.o.b.724]

All of he above, but I'd add "Suicide Blonde".

[@matthewpaul526]

The rare beautiful song for this channel.

[@kimmesser9671]

Hutchence had such a great voice

[@mamamac7069]

Interesting you thought this came out in "83. Their music was very different in the beginning of the 80's but in a great way. Songs like The One Thing and Don't Change were some of my favorites by INXS.

[@vinnie1422]

Great observation, I never really thought about that line " I was standing, you were there" like that

[@lauragroce3816]

This whole album is gold. I’m 73

[@lauragroce3816]

We actually had an 8 track on this album plus 5 cassettes. Kept wearing and tearing them up. RIP Michael. What a voice and a presence ❤️

[@olddrummerguy]

This song and video together are great.

[@kkirw01]

1987 was an incredible year for music.

[@zimmy4868]

There's a lot more saucy goodness you need to hit from INXS. This is just the tip of the iceberg gentlemen.

[@lliamparslow2563]

You keep opening that rabbit hole of Australian Rock Music with another Aussie banger.. the 80's Pub rock scene was huge. INXS grew out of that late 70's and early 80's grind of touring random pubs up and down the east coast of the country. Devil inside, Suicide Blonde and Need you tonight. Massive.

[@shaypostma3362]

I wasn’t a huge fan of theirs in high school in the 80’s but they do claim my favorite song of all time, “Don’t Change”

[@ZacCostilla]

This is in 3/4, and it’s my favorite song on the album

[@michaelt901]

The Australian rock scene in the 70s, 80s & early 90s is almost peerless.

[@girlmidgard9571]

My favourite will always be the breakthrough "Don't Change".

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

The perfect makeup/ get back together song.

[@pgl7950]

This is easily the best song on the album.

[@djm0111]

I saw these guys on the tour for Kick in 1988. This song was one of the highlights. During the second pause the band left the stage for 10 minutes or so, changed clothes, came back and picked up where they left off. SO cool.
