INXS had a big impact on me as a child growning up during the MTV era. The first videos I saw from INXS were “Devil Inside”, and “Need You Tonight”. Which to me are still two of the greatest songs, and videos ever made period. Plus Michael Hutchence and the rest of the band are one of the first groups who got me into music more than ever, and made me think he maybe I should get a band together. Also every time I saw new video of theirs I just kept thinking these guys will be around forever will dominate the whole world and only keep getting bigger. I also thought there was no way they wouldn't get inducted into the rock 'n' roll hall of fame before the standard time a band had to be around for. Every interview I saw with Michael just made me think hey this guy is the kind of guy you could go up to after a concert sit down and talk with about everyday things with, then give a hug to and say goodbye. real down to earth and not just him but the entire band seems that way. When I heard of Michael's death it was actually the first time I shed tears for a celebirty not just because it was a tragic death of a star/celebirty. But because I had listen to their music for many years and many of the songs helped me through difficult periods in my life. I also thought wow there won't be anymore INXS or music from INXS ever again that hit me really hard. But you know we will see him again someday when we go to what ever is after life and he will be waiting there saying what took everyone so long....
