An Eternally Powerful Rock Band
"All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving broken hearts behind
Mystify
Mystify me"
From the moment I first heard INXS, I was mystified by the voice of its lead singer, and in love with this powerful rock group from Austrailia.
"I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive
In all that exists
None have your beauty
I see your face
I will survive"
Michael Hutchence, Garry Gary Beers, Kirk Pengilly, Jon Farriss, and Tim Farriss made up the original group known as INXS.
"Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
Will kiss you every night
All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving
Yeah we're leaving broken hearts behind"
Michael left millions of broken hearts behind when he left us on November 22, 1997.
"You're eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
And they'll kiss you every night"
Lyrics- INXS-Mystify
INXS
wikipedia article

I Miss Michael
Suicide or accident, makes no difference. November, 22 1997, is a black day in the history of INXS. That is the day that Michael Hutchence was found dead in a Sydney, Austrailia hotel room.I can't believe that was already 10 years ago.
I still mourn the loss of this great musician.

INXS - A new member
J.D. Fortune
A very talented singer by the name of J.D. Fortune won the title of new lead vocalist for the group while appearing on the reality show, Rock Star: INXS.They recorded a new album, Switch, and went on tour in 2006.
Although the newly formed band is doing well, I'm sorry J.D., but somebody should have told you that Michael Hutchence could never, ever, be replaced. (At least in my books, anyway.)
Perhaps I'm not being fair to J.D., or to the band, but in my opinion, searching for a lead singer to replace the great Michael Hutchence, on a Reality TV Program, no less, sort of cheapens the whole image of INXS.
There is talk about the band considering a name change, but from what I could learn, this is just a rumour.
Personally, I wish they would have changed the name. I think that would have been the fairest way to let J.D. gain his own reputation as the great singer that he is, in his own right, and leave the wonderful reputation of INXS with Michael Hutchence, intact.
True INXS fans would still follow, no matter what they decided to call themselves.
Again, this is all just my opinion, and I apologize if I've offended any J.D. Fortune fans. I just thought it needed to be said.
Do you agree with my theory on INXS?

I have loved INXS for what seems like forever. You've done a great job with the info on this lens! (And, I agree with you about the reality show thing being a bad idea...) Posted October 06, 2007 |
