This Is INFECTIOUS. | Lyrical BREAKDOWN of "Mystify" by INXS | Reaction

[@marshabailey1121]

It's pronounced In EXCESS. Michael was one of the few baritones in the rock universe. And he was HOT.

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Yeah, get the band name and lead singer’s name correct. The least you can do when earning money off someone’s work! Don’t be so lazy! 🙄

[@patrickcrady904]

Their whole catelog is incredible. Listen like thieves is so sick! Whole album

[@ALLCapsKen]

This has always been one of my favorite songs of theirs... I was obSESSed with this band in the 2nd half of the 80s and - thank god - I actually managed to see them in concert around 1989, even though I didn't have a lot of money back then. But they were amazing, as good as you would want a band to be when seeing them live in concert.

[@jeanniea3437]

Great live band! Videos from the Live Baby Live concert at Wembly are so good!

[@luattack123]

@@jeanniea3437 agree with you.

INXS was literally one of the top 3 bands in the world in the late 80s/early 90s. They had hit song after hit song, non-stop. Their videos were on MTV 24/7 & they were an exceptional live band, as shown in their Wembley Stadium show that was filmed for a long form live DVD (VHS at the time, lol). Their music was primarily upbeat and faster, Never Tear Us Apart was a huge hit but one of their only real slow songs. You'd love New Sensation, it's so energetic, just magical and incredible.

[@mistersurrealist]

"By My Side" is another fantastic ballad, from their amazing and underrated "X" album.

[@tracithomas6543]

Fell in love with INXS in 1982 with their release of the iconic album Shabooh Shoobah - two tracks you really need to react to are Don’t Change, and The One Thing. Those are the first two hits of theirs; they put out two albums - the phenomenal The Swing (my fave album of theirs) and Listen Like Thieves - before they released Kick, which launched them into the stratosphere. About the production quality of this song, that’s the magic of Nile Rogers. Oh, and lastly, it’s pronounced inexCESS (emphasis on third syllable rather than the second.

[@frankschlanker]

Nile Rodgers produced Original Sin this song was by Chris Thomas

[@miavega8888]

Kick is one of their best albums but I fell in love when I first saw the “Don’t Change” video in the early 80s. Me and my friend use to wear out “The Swing” album in her car the summer before jr year. My favorite band! Michael was incredibly talented. Gone too soon!

[@Tass...]

The 80's in general was a musical powerhouse.

[@amystokes9696]

Need you tonight is another amazing INXS song

[@withsapphires]

I was able to see them in concert in the 90s and got to give Michael a "low 5" as he ran into the audience. Then a month or 2 later he was dead. My friends and I cried.

[@tommytaylor4139]

Anton you are "The Man" my friend, always superb responses!!, Brilliant and a brilliant band to react to, LEGEND 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@nnoddy8161]

Need to check out The Stairs from their Wembley Concert!

[@aussieguy6908]

INXS is my favourite band through the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s

[@peggyhoward3187]

Best Inxs album the swing !!! Also mystify the documentary was amazing. RIP Michael

[@gesundheit602]

You would love “Never Tear Us Apart” with all the strings and Michael’s amazing voice

[@eveningglow2608]

My favourite INXS song!

[@garrysalis4312]

All the live at Wembley stadium 1991 are 🔥

[@andrear.bordon9357]

INXS Forever

[@lilianagfm]

Can you imagine if Michael was still alive??? He left us too soon (at the age of 37)... one of the biggest losses in Music ...... He was a poet and the Soul of INXS ... almost all the lyrics were written by him, some in 15/20 minutes ... he just listened the music Andrew was working and bang ... a masterpiece came out . Andrew Farris (the one at the piano) said that Mistify has brilliant lyrics, beautiful words that became immortal in this song. Rest in Peace POET MICHAEL 🙏🖤 Thank you so much for this reaction. Greetings from Portugal 🤗😊

[@ROCKONplaceboforever]

Legendary

[@janawebb6490]

My fav band of all time their music is timeless great songwriting great band great frontman great musicians they were truly a special band

[@jazshas]

Yes, timeless. They're different. A good mixture of pop, rock, and soul imo.

[@trexpixx4590]

INXS is a live band. INXS always keeps you wanting more, and it always makes you feel good!!! You have 10 studio albums, soundtracks, tons of live performances, the MAX Q project and The Loved One, Michaels independent projects. There is an endless supply of timeless music! Please go nuts!

[@nirvanaa5556]

Sounds like you're saying IN EXes. It's IN EXCESS. To see that Michael Hutchence charisma...watch "Suicide Blonde" live at Wembley Stadium in 1991. So good.

[@eleniprovia7667]

I remember buying their “Kick” album on cassette in 1987, I was just mesmerized. Top songs, top album. Still love it thirty six years later! “Mistily” is one of my faves for sure.

[@jvgogh5077]

KICK is a solid album through and through. CALLING ALL NATIONS is the tune that I think 'kick's the most on that one. Please add your comments about various songs from this album. All pretty decent in my humble opinion.

[@evanreese4883]

LOVE INXS! Have all of their records! SO GOOD! Best 80’s artist hands down! Even strong through the 2000’s. Yes, most of their songs have a solid drum beat and groove. Very tight, groovy sound. That’s the main part of why I love them so much. Excellent vocalist too!

[@chopperdeath]

These boys can play.

[@frankschlanker]

The live version is even better!!

[@daphne9016]

Could have not clicked on the reaction any faster👍❤️ One of my most favorite bands and songs😊👏😊👏 Fantastic reaction❤️

[@jaxmom9043]

I hope you figured out by now they are a six member band, no hired guns here lol.

[@TheFreezerGeezer]

12:40. The only place Michael could be watching the video from is heaven.

[@patcurrie9888]

1 record label, Atlantic, 17 yrs and 27 videos. What a catalog! Try "TIME", hard rocking early 90s, "Taste it" funky sexy (banned from MTV) and "These are the Times/Strangest Party" wild futuristic from mid 90s

[@thegoldenbandicoot]

FYI - INXS is pronounced 'in excess'

[@colleenmatulickclarke2059]

The Stairs!!!

[@shanewheal9069]

INXS Australian Royalty

[@justawhisperintheuniverse8257]

The entire band was brilliant. Michael, despite their success, was never satisfied. He had the talent and charisma of Bono, Hendrix, or even Elvis. He left this world way too soon.

[@adamparker9765]

They are all such good musicians , then you add Micharel as the front man with his charisma . They are one of the best ever funk, pop, rock bands ever. There are so many great songs they have . Suicide blond at Wembley, The gift , Burn for you , Original sin , I could go on .

[@btbb3726]

Eternally wild with the power To make every moment come alive All those stars that shine above you Will kiss you every night

[@peperino25]

. I recommend you react to🔥 ★ *INXS - Need You Tonight (Official Music Video)* ★ *INXS - New Sensation (Official Music Video)*

[@jenny5moon]

Amazing band. Amazing reaction. Thanks Anton, I always wish you well. I’m always also trying to see the books on that shelf behind you lol.

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

What's great about the video that goes with this song is the start really does lay the foundation for what is a ripper song. Thanks for the great reaction & analysis.

[@annettecrouch3155]

You really need to listen to Never tear us apart or Not enough time 👌

[@marekarens3284]

Hey! Go against the flow. My suggestion: "By My Side" by INXS. You gonna love it! :)

[@sharonscurti8024]

Great song 🎵. Michael was so very talented. So sad that he died so young. I enjoyed watching ROCK STAR INXS on TV in 2005 where JD. FORTUNE won the contest to become their new singer.

[@jvgogh5077]

Original Sin and Don't Change are also fantastic fast-paced tunes with interesting lyrics.

[@btbb3726]

Nice choice and reaction! Have you heard “The Killing Moon” by Echo and the Bunnymen”?

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Such a great great band. I wish someone would react to Elegantly Wasted, such a funky song!

[@johnandrews3151]

INXS/Johnson's Aeroplane. PLAY LOUD!

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

I think I appreciate this video so much more since Michael passed.

[@michaelaliceajr.7308]

Great reaction video!!

[@Wonderland41]

I guess I've been saying this wrong, I always have said IN EX ES (Like "in excess", actually)

[@antonczachor]

I think you are correct lol

[@IsabelleRSG]

My fave INXS song. I've always loved this video for the start in rehearsal and then the smooth switch to the recording version. So glad to see they're being (re)discovered / appreciated again so many years later byt the younger generations.

[@johnandrews3151]

That's In Excess!!

[@peggyhoward3187]

Listen to his solo album Michael hutchence and dive into the police music and talking heads

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

I’d say Need you tonight and Meditate together in one reaction,played in that order,would be great

[@jemxs]

As it should be 😜

[@toniboydston2744]

Dear Anton welcome to the great journey of INXS I remember seeing them when they first started at a concert in Brisbane with about 20 other screaming girls. Have some great photos of Michael front row. Very sexy man.

[@mystifyband]

Micheal Hutchesen? InAXis?

[@amandapicazo2]

It's IN EXCESS

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Are you talking about Inxs Never tear us apart?

[@laurensutherlandisradical3419]

love inxs, also matt corby and guy sebastian

[@evanflynn9987]

I hate when ppl, that I perceived to be intelligent, bring up age or era as an excuse. "the production is phenomenal, especially for the 80's " what do think they used ? two tin cans and a string.

[@jvgogh5077]

Dancing on the Jetty is another good one to react to.

[@helenchristie6530]

Oh Michael Hutchence….forever my heartthrob 😍😍

[@jathygamer8746]

Great react and analysis. Go with something from their early days like "Don't Change" or "The One Thing". See their baby faces. None of them are hired guns I 🎧 N 💓 X 🎶 S

[@kevindobson6568]

My fav INXS songs are The gift And Elegantly wasted

[@jemxs]

Fantastic song and band, love how it starts as a workshop. Shoutout to Parkway Drive, great Aussie band! Fairy obscure for a USA guy 🙏👍😝 Lol no hired guns, all SIX of them brilliant 🤣

[@antonczachor]

Parkway has my heart forever

[@helenmckeetaylor9409]

Pronounce each syllable equally I-N-X-S texting short speak

[@kane29842]

he didn't have great charisma. he had ALL of the charisma. it's quite unfair.

[@luattack123]

Thank you, I am watching now the Wembley Stadium, best live ever, there is a playlist, the song who put me up is New Sensation, I cannot pic on as fave, I can say I listen more What you need, Original Sin and Beautiful girl, he was very sensual and the song I Need you Tonight is perfect, live better, but again, great taste, You should see The Cult, they have so many great songs also.

[@TamiThePinkHairedGirl]

One of my favorites. BTW, it's pronounced like "in excess", not "In exes". 😊

[@lp59]

Hi. Just fyi it's pronounced in excess.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Small critique. It is pronounced in excess. Not inexus.

[@jeanniea3437]

A good song to use for walking is The Stairs by INXS. As you said, I think it has a great tone. INXS is not just a ballad band . Their songs are very diverse, they have rock, funk, and new wave.

[@thomashernandez8700]

I thought you retired? Welcome back.

[@Oracle550]

mate,if you like inxs look up what you need live at wembley stadium...

[@aussiekat6379]

Please it’s pronounced IN EXCESS /INXS.. 🧐😊🇦🇺

[@jase0910]

Pronounce it “in exCESS”.

[@ownyourcrazy8734]

Pronounced In Excess! In X S

[@adelsuleman5042]
