The other day I was walking through Target (a store chain in the US) and heard Michael/INXS singing “What you need” and the song made me want to dance & then remembered I was shopping and not at a club Lol! So I smiled .... and went on with my shopping. Thank you for your music,!!! 20 years later and still loving all the songs 😎🎤👏🏼
Same thing happened to me shopping last weekend. INXS on their speakers singing "What You Need," too. I found myself lip syncing and dancing around. I'm 65 now, but didn't give one damn about anyone that saw me enjoying this fantastic music. There's something about their music that makes you want to MOVE. I love it!
I honestly believe that Micheal apart from the indisputable beauty and his exceptional sensuality was very deep with a strong sensitivity,his gaze is disarming, I love him immensely
He sure is a brilliant musician. He known what kind of new music would make us dance, and sing. Him and Michael were a great match. Andrew did the music and Michael wrote the songs. Thank you so much INXS ❤👩🏻🦼🇦🇺
They are all so gifted and have mastered their craft to its peek....absolutely brilliant!! I haven't got enough great positive words to describe them..... INXS a rock phenomenon! 💙
They were a very under rated band.All very clever accomplished musicians, led by a very charismatic, and amazing singer, who unfortunately due to no fault of his own , had something that happened to him unexpectedly, which led to his early passing.God bless Hutch!
I don't think they were underated . They were the biggest band in the world during the late 80's / early 90's. They sound better today than back then even. I highly rate INXS!!
Thank you, I listen to INXS all the time, MH was bigger than life, it is great that he gave us tons of great music that never seems to bore me. It always sounds fresh, it is indeed timeless.
Just stumbled on this. Michael is so intuitive and smart, all of them, I can't believe he had this kind of death. Great interview. Feels like I'm in the room. God bless them. Love your music
What a gem this video is, thank you who ever you are. I've been a fan since The Swing - seen half-dozen concerts. Hutch was still in control here but I could tell the difficulties were beginning to mount. GOD BLESS HUTCH SPIRIT IN ETERNITY
I wish they could have had that milestone of making it into a new decade/century That would have meant they were an active group in 4 decades (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s) and having released music in 3 decades (80s, 90s, 00s) I know that with a new frontman they did release music in the 2000s but I wish Michael had made it to that milestone like how U2 did
Great interview, hadn't seen before, can feel the weight of the later 90s on them here, but hey they battled through. Haunting feeling the pain with Michael and the press and media how over 20yr later it ain't changed.
...it's also one of my favorite songs...someone were listening it to the radio all the years?!? I did'nt hear it...never they play it!! 🤔😓😤 p.s. big kisses to Michael❣⚘❤😍💋
She was perfect for him. Loved him with all her heart. Just before his death they had big plans, including having one more daughter. His TBI was his downfall. It was much worse than they thought. I still marvel at how well he was able to try at having a full life with the TBI, knowing his days were numbered.
I agree. She surely was the worst decision he had ever made in his entire life. Even if she was witty or seemingly understood the life of a rock star, she was nevertheless a married woman with 3 kids. He really shouldn't have done anything with her...
I am almost positive, if Paula had left him alone and focused on the husband she promised to love and the three children she already had, that he would still be here today. 😪
Fantastic- his frustration at the end was so very clear you could sense it..😔. But you could also see the he loved those guys & the band! Thank you! Love the raw stuff! 😎❤️🎸
Loved how open Michael was, and all of these guys are so REAL. Man I wish I could have seen them in concert here in Texas....I had a real crush on Kirk Pingelly!
Painful to watch. I will never forget sitting in my backyard just a few kms from Double Bay and hearing about Michael's death on Triple JJJ. Watching this amazing band back in the late 70's/early 80's in Melbourne then Sydney was a privilege I didn't get at the time. None of us do when we're young, sigh.......
I heard it on Triple J too. Will never forget it. One of the worst days of my life. I miss him more than any other singer. Australian music died with Michael. 😢 🇦🇺
Have any of you noticed that when Michael is happy with the relationship he's in, he wears a ring on wedding ring finger? Check some of the tributes and interviews out and look for it. I noticed he's never had one on when he was with Paula.
Maybe PY stole it. She was obsessed with him. She always wanted to be in the lime lights. Like U2. The wife of a great musician. Someone like the media to take photos of her when ever she walked out the doors. She wanted out of the marriage but couldn't do alone. Most musican didn't want to go against saint bob
Michael smile always.. so Charismatic Man🙏a LEAdER in the WORLD Performer💁Powerful here 1996... and him « END » so bad for All’s 😪Lovely’s Michael 2022👄Remember you this day 22/11/2022👍🏿☮️♥️
Colin diamond 💎 is nothing but a con man it seems and the paradise papers .taken everything off Michael daughter who lost everything in her life how this disgusting man can do such a thing. someone should looking into this guy who knows the law when you look in to the guy .makes me sick on the last rock star how great friends he was with Michael .he going to look after his daughter well bloody give her and Michael belongings 20 odd years of song writers credits . Friends would never do such a disgusting thing .
@@sherreewilson925 I would like to think he pulled himself back from the brink, stopped the chain smoking, the drugs and the booze, got treatment for his traumatic brain injury and became a buddhist, vegetarian and yogi. Now a hot silver fox of 62, writing music and producing young bands. That would make me so happy.
@@sherreewilson925 You can look at what his father and his brother look like and even what the other band members look like in comparison to what they all use to look like and you can somewhat picture it but that image often slips away
@@cosimavonliebenau8317 half of Michael's TBI wasn't treatable. You can't repair olfactory senses. And he was taking Prozac for depression, and lithium for the bi polar symptoms. Facts are facts. Michael was the highest risk category for suicide. He should be commended for making it those 5 years in the music industry alone. Ppl with bi polar can't control rationality. All it took was for Michael to believe he may never see his daughter again. That thought, literally scared Michael to death. Had he never met Paula, he may still be alive...I doubt it. Not with how severe his TBI was.But there's a huge difference between "being alive" and "living". Tiger Lily made Michael very happy the last 16 months of his life. But you can visibly see his deterioration in the last year of his life if you look at all the interviews he did. The truth is: the Michael Hutchence that his family, friends and fans loved so much, died on a street in Copenhagen in 1992. One of the saddest stories in the history of music. Rock on, Michael, and Safe Journey's. ✌& ❤
I can see why you would think this would be in 1997. But I believe that this was in fact 1996. 25 September, 1996. Around the same time of the 1996 ARIA Awards.
Poor Michael Hutchence hasn't seen anybody in 25 years. I think part of him wanted Fame and part of him could not handle it. Would Michael Hutchence be alive today if he weren't a rock and roll star? Most likely yes. Then we wouldn't have known him and the band's music. What is the trade-off? He definitely doesn't have the same sparkle in his eye at this stage in his life as he did as a younger man. And yes the brain damage he suffered in Copenhagen a few years earlier was probably a major culprit. I still love them and they still feel fresh and sadly we only have our past guaranteed
I think part of him just wanted to be respected as a real musician. I think he much preferred critical acclaim, you know. Not the kind of fame as in he's the sexiest frontman whatever. If later INXS albums had the necessary critical acclaim, I believe he wouldn't be that depressed.
These guys were so honest. Maybe it's an Aussie trait, i dunno. I don't think such honesty would be allowed these days. That would be PR disaster, lols.
I understand where you're coming from, but also remember Michael Hutchence was an Adult. It is/was up to Michael on how much he let his INXS brothers in, on his personal life. And I'm sure they all tried to help, but from what's being said amongst the remaining INXS Band members, he would only let the guys in on so much, and when they got too close, Michael would sort of back off, and ask them how they were doing as opposed to his own troubles. Unfortunately the timing was wrong in alot of ways. For example, John Farriss was going through his divorce, Gary "Garry" Beers was having an affair with Shelly Preston, the back up singer during INXS's Elegantly Wasted World Tour in 1997, they shared a baby, etc. Kirk Pengilly had got divorced, Andrew Farriss had a near tragedy with their baby daughter, and the Farriss brothers lost their mother, and Tim Farriss wasn't happy with anything during this whole period according to what he has said in the past, and Tim said, "He was just drinking himself into oblivion during the whole tour. He and Michael weren't on good terms from their fight etc. Tim Farriss said he wished INXS in hindsight, had just taken a break and gone back to their farms in Australia and isolate themselves from the rest of the world and sort their issues and the band out. And lastly we all know how much, & how bad of a situation and Headspace that Michael Hutchence was in during this whole period of time. So yeah. I'm sorry the message or comment is so long, I just was on a roll in a way. But I respect who comment aswell. Thankyou and cheers from Tom, in Sydney NSW Australia. Peace.
@@thomaspurcell6442 Wow you shed alot of light that I was completely oblivious to, I hadn't a clue on any of this and you know yesterday, Saskia the young lady that played with Michael in Dogs in space died. Such a pity.
Gese, I didn't hear that. Such a shame. All I hear or see on the news lately is corona virus crap. And people living their lives in fear, thinking the world is ending.
MICHAEL IZGLEDA FANTASTICNO!!!KAKO TO AKO JE BIO KOLIKO BOLESTAN,DROGIRAO SE,PIO ALKOHOL???NE IZGLEDA BOLESNO???MENI NAJBOLJA ROCK GRUPA I PJEVAC IKADA 😍😍😍
An engrossing but rather bleak video to watch in hindsight, knowing as we do how things panned out. I mean, Elegantly Wasted; what were they thinking? Michael is right, of course, to criticise the "British music scene" of 1996 for it's retrograde obsession with the sixties and it's grim output of lumpy old pub rock that, in 2020, has aged horribly. But then what was Elegantly Wasted meant to be? He describes it as being "fresh" when, in fact, it's anything but. Forward thinking? Ground breaking? Not a chance. The album challenges not a single musical convention and is wholly predictable, drab and bland. A shame, because the band's previous two offerings (1992's 'Welcome To Wherever You Are' and 93's 'Full Moon, Dirty Hearts') whilst flawed, offered signs of reinvention and progression. At least those two albums contained attempts at experimentation and a willingness to evolve. 1994 single 'The Strangest Party' was also a strong release and is undoubtedly the point at which they should have called it a day. Alas, they decided to return seven years later only to find the landscape had shifted beyond recognition and the ability to adapt was beyond them. Not to harp on about Elegantly Wasted, but it really is stunningly bad. "What were you thinking?!" is the first thought that preoccupied me both then and now. From the awful title, to the subpar material. Then there's the bewildering artwork and video concepts. Band members dressed up as highway patrolmen, fluorescent muscle cars, flashbacks to a mysterious raid in the desert. Was any of this ever explained? Who thought it was a good idea? Were the band supposed to be playing characters, or were they still INXS? Baffling. We find them on the defensive throughout this interview, batting away questions about being has-beens and, understandably, voicing strong criticisms of the British press. Hutchence, though clearly unhinged, is bullish. However, do I detect a glimmer of fear in the eyes of Tim Farriss? Almost as if he knows the endeavour on which they are about to embark is folly. Whilst glad to be back in the spotlight he doesn't believe in the new songs. The choruses don't measure up to those of old yet, as a non-songwriter, he's helpless to intervene. He gamely talks up their chances but, deep down, I think he knows which way things are headed. Poor Tim. In fact, Poor INXS.
@@davidstewart4310 Really? I listened to it again, for the first time in years, after watching this video last week and was still baffled. Which of the tracks on the album stand out for you?
He’s still around, just doesn’t have a body anymore. He’s in the spirit world. And he’s always available. ☀️
@Ashley Usry what did he say?
yeah that's so true
AN ANGEL WAS ANSWERING.... ANNALI CAPRICE 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍😇
Sure he s by my side
I hope INXS gets inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame soon. Soo missed Michael. They deserve it.
Michael Hutchence sounds amazing even today, the music lives on and will always be a gift to the world!!

We have Target in Australia
The best band! Love the music, the musicianship and comradery between the band mates.
Michael ALWAYS spread the credit to the rest of the band... Just a good guy to his mates.
80 million albums as of 2022. 80 MILLION!!!!! Their music is excellent and will always be relevant. They deserve to be in the R&R Hall of Fame.
Really? 80 millions ??? Source?
FOREVER❤#INXS❣

Love his painted nails in this video. He’s amazing
I love you Michael❤I never forget you😘❤️I miss you and INXS❤️
Andrew Farris is an extremely talented musician and song writer, clever guy. 👌
He sure is a brilliant musician. He known what kind of new music would make us dance, and sing. Him and Michael were a great match. Andrew did the music and Michael wrote the songs. Thank you so much INXS ❤👩🏻🦼🇦🇺
Mediate
Michael collaborated as well. Think Michael and Andrew wrote Mystify. They were all talented.
So are his brothers, they were all the sum of the parts and Michael was the crown simple
They are all so gifted and have mastered their craft to its peek....absolutely brilliant!! I haven't got enough great positive words to describe them..... INXS a rock phenomenon! 💙

They were never underated...They fell apart because of Michael's death...R.I P Mr H x
They were massive worldwide.
I hope you are resting easy, Michael. We miss you.
No resting in peace for Michael he would become very bored with that very quickly!!
Thank you, I listen to INXS all the time, MH was bigger than life, it is great that he gave us tons of great music that never seems to bore me. It always sounds fresh, it is indeed timeless.
I loved Devil Inside. It’s an Amazing song. I’m 70 and love all there songs. 🥰
They sang a lot of good songs. Brilliant Band.
God bless you INXS❤️ Thank you for all your music,i miss you guys😘🌹

Michael looks really good. He ages like fine wine!
Thank you so so so much!!! Waiting for more! :-)
This is a good press conference. My first time seeing this.
You can definitely tell Michael was suffering from PTSD due to his tbi here...so tragic what happened to him.
Loved how open Michael was, and all of these guys are so REAL. Man I wish I could have seen them in concert here in Texas....I had a real crush on Kirk Pingelly!
Nossa quanto talento, beleza, simpatia... É até difícil de acreditar 😢
Thankyou so much more rare and interesting stuff on INXS now. Its just absolutely phenomenal. Thankyou very, very much. Cheers.
You could feel and see the anger at the very end of this video, Michael had..and he'd had enough!😔
If only he met a girl that wanted to give him a child, a family grounded him- not PY. Too much baggage. Too much exposure to the media. Love you MH
Even the tracks left off elegantly wasted were fantastic

We find them on the defensive throughout this interview, batting away questions about being has-beens and, understandably, voicing strong criticisms of the British press.
Hutchence, though clearly unhinged, is bullish. However, do I detect a glimmer of fear in the eyes of Tim Farriss? Almost as if he knows the endeavour on which they are about to embark is folly. Whilst glad to be back in the spotlight he doesn't believe in the new songs. The choruses don't measure up to those of old yet, as a non-songwriter, he's helpless to intervene. He gamely talks up their chances but, deep down, I think he knows which way things are headed.
Poor Tim. In fact, Poor INXS.
Couldn't disagree more...I'd say EW is one of Inxs best albums.
@@davidstewart4310 Really? I listened to it again, for the first time in years, after watching this video last week and was still baffled. Which of the tracks on the album stand out for you?
@@davidstewart4310 I think so too, I love EW, great album !
The title track is one of their best songs!
I really loved that album too.
