I love INXS. Michael Hutchence is one of my top favorite vocalists and thought he was highly charismatic, sultry, a fashion plate and a great showman. He oozed with coolness. So many times, when I've been down, I turned to INXS' music to lift my spirits and help me go on...for years, “New Sensation” & “What You need” numerously brought me back up just by listening and singing it....The lyrics to those two songs, God, I wish Michael listened to himself in those songs, maybe he'd still be with us “Hey, you, won't you listen, this is not the end of it all” “Live baby live, now that the day is over” “There's nothing better that we can do, that live forever, well that's all we've got to to..” Just hearing him sing those lyrics, it was like he talked to me, to lift myself from my bootstraps and keep goin...
I'll never forget the day I saw on the news he died and how they say in the media he passed away...And when I saw the funeral footage how I cried...
I never saw INXS live and so wish I did...I watch LIVE BABY LIVE alot...
INXS, to me, was one of the greatest bands out there--their music was cutting edge and fresh and,man, what a band...They did it all---They had keyboards and/or harmonica in a song, andrew played em, they needed a brass section, kirk played it along with having a creative drummer, smooth bass player and crunchy guitar by gary, jon and Tim--And Michael, The ever so kool singer and frontman--NO ONE since him has come out of the music industry-INXS was a fine 6-cylinder rock n' roll machine!!! And their music videos were the best ever made by any rock band!! NEED YOU TONIGHT, LISTEN LIKE THEIVES, DANCIN ON THE JETTY, BITTER TEARS, HEAVEN SENT, even the simple JUST KEEP WALKING were all stylized, original works of art.
I'm going on and on, but I just wanna say, Michael, I miss you. It's gonna be fives years and I still can't GET over it... My heart goes out to your family, friends, your daughter, and the Band...You may be gone, but your legend lives forever thru your music and videos....
