One of the greatest bands of the 80’s

INXS was a phenomenal band!! Michael Hutchence was so charismatic and dynamic. Tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of his death. R.I.P. Michael🖤Gone way too soon.

The frontman has the same energy and charisma as the Doors' Jim Morrison.

RIP Michael Hutchence, one of the best front men ever.

Michael Hutchence was one of the best showmen ever! Such a loss to no longer have him with us! RIP Michael

The Hutch - one of the best frontmen in history of rock!

INxS was huge, absolutely huge. Loved them

They were so ahead of their era. Beyond talented group. Their live performances are even better than the studio versions, like "What You Need", "New Sensation" (Wembley, 1991). Michael's vocals and stage presence were da thing. Oh and that damned divine saxophone. Some of their most famous songs, Never Tear us Apart, Devil Inside, By My Side, Original Sin, Suicide Blonde, Mystify, Good Times with Jimmy Barnes.

"Never Tear Us Apart", "Mystify", "Suicide Blonde", "New Sensation", "Devil Inside", "Beautiful Girl" etc.

I went to a party in Belgium when I was a kid. The French-speaking Belgian kids sat on one side of the room. The American kids sat on the other side. Most of us weren't biligual, so we were too afraid to interact. When the DJ played 'Need You Tonight,' EVERYONE screamed and got their butts out on the floor. The party was on! We danced all night.

So good. "Everything's a hook." I'm 68, thinking, their looks are also a hook. 😄

Michael Hutchence was Good Lookin , Talented committed ,he took his life. ✨🙏✨RIP✨🙏✨

This is one of my favorite bands of my teen years. I had a HUGE crush on Michael Hutchence. I was so incredibly shocked and sad when he passed away. He committed suicide by hanging himself in a hotel room. Such a great looking man with a great voice. R.I.P Michael Hutchence

Wembley Stadium - INXS Live “New Sensation”

I used watch their videos on MTV before getting on the school bus back in the early 80's. INXS on the brain the rest of the school day.

He did most of the work for so many guys in the 80s . He knew who he was talking to

Must do Never Tear Us Apart...some great guitar and sax!❤

Saw the Kick tour when I was 16. Michael sweated on me and I swore I'd never wash my face again. Totally bathed that night.

Love Inxs...RIP Michael Hutchinson

INXS are ICONS

RIP Michael💖

I had the privilege of seeing this wonderful band in person❤ RIP Michael Hutchins❤

This album was huge when it came out and for years afterwards. It was one of those albums that you could put on and you knew that everyone was going to like it. Michael Hutchence was such an amazing frontman. He had so much charisma and was sexy as hell.

I was 22 when this song 🎵 was released in 1987. Huge MTV music video in its day. RIP Michael Hutchence.

This track is one big seduction. Was great you picked up on that :) My favourite part is when Michael screams out "I'm lonely!" and the female model gasps and turns her head. So cool.

The ladies made it one of the most popular videos. 😍

Good point about the number of hooks. The popularity of the video is all about Michael's sex appeal which is also apparent in "Suicide Blonde" live at Wembley 1991, along with his incredible voice.

RIP Michael we miss you 😍😍😍

Inxs was everything in the 80's. I was fortunate enough to see them in 1987 in New Orleans. This concert is by favorite of that era.

Great band, "Never tear us apart" one of their best songs!

Michael Hutchence ...So HOT! RIP....

Incredible band.

I'm a metal head, but I always liked INXS. It's interesting that they are labeled as new wave and pop, because I always considered them simply as Rock. While they do have plenty of softer or funky hits, I'll request for reaction their hits where they rocked out a bit: Devil Inside, What You Need, and two songs that started it all 40 years ago: The One Thing and Don't Change (this one is my favorite). Besides a hilarious name, the bassist laid down some awesome lines.

The one of the best Australian bands ever luv them ❤R. I. P

This song was amazingly popular when it first was released in 1987, but 13 years later it had a revival in 2000 via the soundtrack to the popular movie Coyote Ugly.

I was in my early 20's when this came out, and being old enough to drink, I went out clubbing and dancing quite a lot. Inxs was in my car and in the player, a lot, and of course it was Kick. I had forgotten how the video looked, and now I have to laugh at myself. All the ladies LOVED Michael Hutchins back then and watching this vid now, All I see is him, and when the other guys faces pop in on the vid, it seems a little off putting. It's like I am in a fantasy and my mom walks in my bedroom and destroys the mood!!

Beautiful Michael. RIP

Love this band. Michael Hutchence had a great voice and appeal. Another one lost too soon. This is my favorite of theirs and I also love "Never Tear Us Apart" which has a little something for Ryan in it. That would be my suggestion for your next reaction. But all their songs are great, so you can't go wrong with anything you pick.

This song never gets old.

Hi from Australia. Great to see you reacting to INXS. You might enjoy Devil Inside, Don't Change, and Never Tear Us Apart (sax for Ryan). There are so many great songs. Michael Hutchence was the consummate front man. Charismatic, mysterious, handsome and so talented. RIP Michael.

This is one of the ultimate "booty call" songs...right along with Foreigner's "Urgent" and Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight". Great songs in their own ways.

Love this video because we have pet rats & you can tell by the way he was handling that rat, the rat was comfortable with him & probably his pet. 🥰

Class of "85 here. Michael Hutchence reminds me of Jim Morrison's move SO much!

“What you need” INXS. ( before ) And this were GROUNDBREAKING vide in the late 80s. Trust me. Turned music video making on its head.

There is something about brothers in Sydney making a band. INXS, AC/DC and the Angels are all in that group 🇭🇲

Lol I was 19 when this gem was released. Most of us girls in Australia screamed our hearts out for Michael Hutchence. So sad when he passed

To do them justice you really need to listen to more of them. Don't get me wrong anyone...I love this song but it is one of their more simple ones. They have others that are dynamic, great sax and all round perfect musicianship...and of course Michael!

Never Tear Us Apart is their greatest song. They were part of the 80s movement called Nu Wave. They were big along with Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Flock of Seagulls, Kajagoogoo and many other lesser known groups. RIP Michael Hutchins

One of my all time favorite bands and frontmen…All incredibly talented with an incredibly sensual, charismatic and sexy frontman, with a sexy voice to boot !!! All their songs were catchy, and meaningful

This CD was one of my speedwalking CD's. Depeche Mode CD's also for speedwalking. You will not drop the pace. Great workout bands.

A good jam when you're rollin' down the highway. INXS was a pop powerhouse in their day.

Such a sad ending to an incredible talent. I grew up on MTV, when it was new. That video was spliced and created by students. No one had made a video like it, artistically before. Sadly he suffered a brain injury from being sucker punched in Denmark with his love, Helena Christenson. (Famous model, in Chris Isaak's video) That injury sent him into a deep depression because he lost all sense of smell, thus taste. Plus it was a TBI, Traumatic Brain Injury. He was on Prozac, when it was new, mixed with alcohol and cocaine, and lack of sleep when he hung himself in that hotel room. Add TBI and it made for the perfect storm for suicide, not to mention his life with a certain woman, who just had his child months before, screwing up his ability to be with his baby girl due to divorce and previous children custody issues with Sir Bob Geldof's kids, her ex. Yes, TMI.

The singer reminds me of Jim Morrison, 80's style.

Michael Hutchence just oozes sex appeal, one of my favorite songs to karaoke because he and I have that same smooth baritone :D

The entire album was fantastic.

I saw them back in the 80s in concert. The entire album is awesome.

Glad to see you gents have reached the Aussie Gold Mine of INXS you are going to be blown away with how many awesome songs they had and huge and influential they were. Michael Hutchins was one of the all time top Sexual Icons in the 80's and when his death came people were so shocked because it was not due to Drug overdose like usual but by suicide . Funny that you said this sounded like a pre chorus because it actually is one of the only songs I have heard of or found that had a continuing song and video that most often accompanied this song called "Mediate" which was their prime version of a rap song for the times and it was absolutely brilliant and I hope you definitely cover it next. I can't wait until you get to some of their other songs like New Sensation my personal favorite and others like Never Tear Us Apart, Suicide Blonde and one of their earliest Hits if not the 1st and still one of may favorites of theirs that nobody on KZfaq has covered that I know of called "The One Thing". You can tell how young they were and the electricity of it because it was just when MTV had started and that song was on regular rotation which meant it probably got played 12-20 times a day. Thanks for covering this a great choice and I can't wait to see you deep dive further into this wonderous group of the most magical decade in Music and other areas the 80's! 😀

The INXS rabbit hole is ridiculously deep...start off with "Original Sin" and "The One Thing"....

Live Baby Live awesome concert by them, good dance song yeah, they would have been good today, good review by u guys 👍😎🤘🥁🎤🎸🎸🔥🔥

RIP Michael. 💖

Wow great song! I remember when it came out. Hutchence nails this with his sexy performance and that pounding beat. A big hit with the ladies☺ Thanks guys for posting this - love your reactions and watching you move to the beat too🧡

This was a #1 song here in the USA, Billboard’s Hot 100, and it is their only #1 song to date, but these guys are so talented, and I miss Michael so much.

Billboard Magazine stats: #1 Hot 100 (Their first and only US #1 hit) #73 Black Singles Chart #2 Song of 1987 (behind "Walk Like An Egyptian" by The Bangles) On a personal note: Having been raised mainly on R&B, this song officially got me rocking full time.

This brings back flowing memories! ❤

Never Tear Us Apart is the one you should listen to next.

Michael delivered pizza with the lot !!! yum

Hey Boys, Here's a person from Australia his name is John Farnham. I know you are brilliant at understanding of Singer's. He sung a song around the late eighties from the Beatles. Help is the song sung live I challenge you to reaction and not to like his voice. Love your work

I can't believe you didn't give Ryan a sax song for the first INXS listen! 😂

You need to watch all the clips from Live Baby Live at Wembley. Sold out 100 000 ppl every show. Home grown Aussie band that made it worldwide. I was too young to see them live in Sydney b4 Micheal passed. Gone too soon . RIP

You forgot Snore (Kirk Pengilly) who did main backing vocals, sax and guitar. I think this was the first album I ever bought. My path has quite inexplicably crossed with - or connected to - this band and its members, past and present, multiple times ever since. Hard to go for a drink in Double Bay without thinking of Hutch.

You gotta listen to their catalog awesome

They'd been around for years and were well known, but in the late 80s they ruled the world...top couple bands in the world. Hit after hit after hit after hit.

one of my fav lines from Any song, "something about you girl that makes me sweat"...most guys know that feeling, lol...

This whole album is amazing! I wish you guys did the version with the song Mediate right after this one.

Man, this album was unstoppable when I was 17! It would not go away, especially Need You Tonight, although it had endless top 10 hits. Their music was far more interesting a few years earlier but happy they got some mainstream success. You wan't hooky, check out Don't Change from Shabooh Shoobah.

Yay!!!

In sync 😂 you guys are hysterical

There was a time ( a very long time) that it was hard to escape this song, this band, even if you wanted to. Another classic song from across the ditch. And, lets be real here, what a damn hunk! Thanks, that woke this old lady up :-)

Aussie rock royalty

Saw them in Louisville in high school so like 1990.They sounds just like their record.🥰

Loved and love INXS. I wish you had gone straight into Mediate after this.

Michael Hutchence was the epitome of dripping lust in this video.

502 dudes man you need to listen to INXS song . " never tear us apart". official music video. it's lit . thanks be safe peace . johnny

Love INXS. Had the pleasure of seeing them twice in concert.

The 3 brothers were cute, too!

A dancing in the club song. Takes me back.

In my opinion there is a difference between “boy bands” and bands like this. As someone who was a teen in the 80s, a “boy band” would be 4 or 5 guys who could sing pop songs and harmonize- and not necessarily play instruments (think Backstreet Boys or NSync). Great in their wheelhouse, but not a rock band like INXS or Duran Duran. Those fellows played instruments and wrote their own songs. Quite a talented difference!

Huge hit fall 1987

Recommendation - "What you need" live at Wembley! You'll get true sense of how big they really were.

A favorite 80's/90's band, most definitely. "Suicide Blonde" next please - you will love the guitars!

Keep digging into Australian music… there’s gold down here.

More please. Never Tear Us Apart, Suicide Blonde, Devil Inside, What You Need, By my Side...Michael Hutchence is AMAZING and Kirk Pengilly on sax is SEX ♡

Great band. The guitar hook was "borrowed" for the Chorus of Dua Lipa's "Break My Heart."

I’m one of the lucky ones who got to see them 2 times. What a great band they were.

My wife, when she was 16, used a fake ID to get into a club in Hollywood in around 1983, or so, to see the still relatively unknown INXS, and Garry Gary Beers threw her a sweaty towel, which she and another girl grabbed, and they proceeded to get into a tug of war over, until my wife's friend jumped in and scared the other girl away. I told that story to a beautiful, intelligent, blonde co-worker one day (a few years older than me), when we'd been talking about the band, maybe 10 years ago, and she said she had a better INXS story. I said, do tell? And she said, "I dated Michael Hutchence for 6-months and traveled with the band on their tour bus." I said, "your story wins," lol.

First time I heard this song In 1988 I was hooked. It was one of the coolest unique songs I've ever heard.

I recommend INXS - Don't Change, has a great energy :)

Give "New Sensation" a listen. One of their best. " Never Tear us Apart" has a great Sax bit that Ryan will like.

IT’S GOT MORE HOOKS THAN A HELLRAISER MOVIE!!!!

Great reaction guys...a song of absolute Aussie gold is It's a Long Way There by Little River Band...I guarantee will transform your musical lives..! Harmonies and musicianship will take you all on one hell of a journey... the best 8 minutes of your lives (well almost..!)
