      Marc needed to be fired…he was erratic and they knew it was the only way…they also needed to split up to save themselves…

    Marc Hunter turns a heavenly 70 years old on Sept 7th. I recently sat at his grave in Gerringong NSW and played some of his songs for him. RIP and happy birthday on the 7th Marc. Loved and missed by your fans ❤

    It was an absolute delight to watch this on You Tube. Thanks to whoever filmed it & whoever loaded this onto RUclips. And it was so nice to hear those heart-felt words from Todd about Marc...Marc was being himself & obviously so at home singing on stage. However, as Todd pointed out...perhaps he didn't realize how much his antics and cheeky style actually endeared him to so many of us.

    Great speech by Todd, those days supporting Dragon at the Life Saver were pretty wild indeed. I wished a had made closer friendships with these guys back in our touring days but they were pretty WILD and I was a tad awestruck. Miss those days, miss Ross Hunter, he used to be our lighting guy and I spent many a day with him in the band truck eating PIE n PEAS, he loved em... and of course miss Mark and his Charisma, and the wild after gig parties we had at Macy's in Melbs. lol

    Overrated big time - it says at their peak no one could touch them. In the early 80s Id never heard of them. They were getting smoked by the likes of the Fixx, Duran Duran, Stranglers, Talking heads, Pretenders, just to name a few. Such a non-significant band from NZ, nowhere near as big as they are projected to be.
