INXS don’t get a lot of recognition Michael Hutchens should be up there like Mick Jagger Freddie Mercury Jim Morrison Michael Jackson David Bowie Bon Scott
Not something to be laughed at. 1. He was "on the scene" for 17 years, a decade longer than Jim M or Bon. 2. INXS were responsible for at least 5 great Aussie albums, successively.
It’s funny how everyone in the band had such different personas. Michael and Tim were the hard boy rockers while Andrew, Garry and Kirk could have worked for an accounting firm! Jon was like the little brother that went along for the ride. Yet they all blended seamlessly together with their creative differences and made perfect music as one band of brothers. Never tear us apart ❤
No, I didn't. His vocal range wasn't expansive but who cares. He expressed emotion with a generous topping of soul. He was never meant to be a male Mariah Carey...To me, he was the perfect singer.....Wish I could've told him.....:(
Totally. These days you have tons of wannabe-singers who hit perfect notes on TV but can't craft a proper song (Hutchence's contemporary George Michael described that very well a few years back). Hutchence's ability to switch seamlessly between his "chill out" and "boom" voices (I'm unable to find the exact/correct terms) defined the sound of INXS heavily.
Based on what I remember from his biography he didn't rate himself highly as a poet, he said words to the affect he had to work hard to come up with good lyrics. He certainly has written some good song though.
They were already an international success with The Swing but yes Listen Like Thieves got them recognition in America on MTV and in turn in the UK where they had their big successes.
61 years ago a legend was born, Happy birthday Michael you handsome devil x x thank you for the beautiful music you and inxs made that voice 😍 🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So lucky! They were before my time sadly. Michael died exactly a month before i was born (R.I.P. my idol and inspiration) but I've loved them all my life and would do anything to have been able to have gone to Wembley. If you look at my profile pic youll see i recreated his iconic Wembley jeans for the Don't Change INXS tribute concert that came up here a few months ago. They were amazing and did INXS proud but I would still give anything to be able to have seen the real thing. Oh for a time machine 😂
Andrew Farriss says that their 2 favourite/best gigs of all were summer XS, and Sydney in October 1988 - their first concert back in home town after world KICK tour........I was lucky enough to have been there 😉😉
They really worked well together. Like literally every member. To match all instriments harmoniously, then to have the voice, tempo, words etc. Incredible.
Siempre me gusto INXS..y siempre agradeceré a este vídeo por motivarme a superar el sobrepeso que tenía, al ver lo bien que se veía Michael con una buena contextura . Supe que quería ser igual y entonces me puse a hacer harto ejercicio con lo que supere al sobrepeso... Gracias Michael e Inxs por motivarme
Qué gran historia mi buen; felicidades. Y sí, el rock nos inspira, motiva y alegra de muchas formas. Saludos y no dejes el ejercicio, sea cual sea la intensidad. 🤙🏽 5-4
I was born in 1989, but I feel I have a far memory of this song when I was a child( Maybe thanks to Mtv) and this makes me happy because Michael was still alive and so handsome.☺ Rip immortal soul 💖
One of the best bands in Australia and the World, Miss Michael as he was an enigma in front of the world but behind, just your ordinary brother like guy. Best guys ever. INXS still the best.
Yeah, one of the only Australian bands... oh, besides ACDC, The Easybeats, The Seekers, Little River Band, Rose Tattoo, Men At Work, The Divinyls, Icehouse, Midnight Oil, Jet, Wolfmother,..
I so agree.,seemed like a sweet person,just a bit too delicate..like is not easy for sweet,sensitive people:'( I was 13 when he died and still it makes me cry thinking about this.
Been looking out for that belt buckle for years but I've never seen one as good as that. Never forget Michael chucking a sack of condoms across the crowds after he heard that they were banned for sale at the music festival in Tipperary back in 1992 due to Ireland's draconian laws on contraception. They just don't make rock stars like they used to.
Without a doubt INXS were on their way to becoming the BIGGEST band the world has ever seen. Bigger than the Beatles, bigger than AC/DC, bigger than U2, bigger than Bruce Springsteen, bigger than Metallica, bigger than Michael Jackson, this band was on a trajectory to the very top. RIP Michael, you were truly one of a kind and your music will live forever. This song imo is the best of the best that they ever produced.
How this has only 1.6 million views is beyond me, great song from one of the biggest bands of the 80's & 90's, absolute legends and anytime I went to see them in concert always blown away and walked away afterwards thinking, Wow that was f*cking amazing
"Playing in the dirt, we find the seeds of doubt..." can't hear those lines without thinking of the times spent in various places of Australia: Bondi Beach, Port Melbourne, Manly Beach, Stradbroke & Moreton Islands, Balmoral, Airlie Beach, Whitsundays, Hamilton Island...
Dios!!!! que tal canción, pura energía, Hutch como siempre increíble, dominio total de escena.. la parte de la canción con la llama de fuego atrás es formidable!!!!!!
This song reminds me when I was on deployment in Antartica. 13 months straight. During the winter we used to climb all those mountains to see the beauty of that place! The anthem for my deployment! This song will always reminds me of what I experienced there!
Talk about bringing back the memories. My god I love this song..... and quite honestly everything INXS has produced since. RIP Michael. Miss you mate...
My mum played INXS when I was a child, but I never knew the name of the band or song....I JUST REALISED THAT I RECOGNISE THIS SONG FROM WHEN I WAS 7 YEARS OLD! 10 years later, still remember sitting on my mum's shoulders while she rocked out to their songs. Wow, the nostalgia is real.
I honestly don't think i'v seen a man as beautiful as Michael apart from Jim Morrison who i think is equal to Michael in sex appeal, charisma, stage presence and infamy. He really is the 80,s - 90's Lizard King, gone but never forgotten.
One of the best songs on GTA Vice City and that is saying a lot, considering how exceptional curated that soundtrack was.
RIP Michael.
yea i remember this from their radio stations ;
@@xxx333mmm Flash Fm baby with Toni
Yes it's on remaster on PlayStation 5 grand theft auto I blast it off so loud that's other people can hear it and it pissed him off
What you mean by curated ?
@@Steve50663 What do you not understand?
INXS don’t get a lot of recognition Michael Hutchens should be up there like Mick Jagger Freddie Mercury Jim Morrison Michael Jackson David Bowie Bon Scott
Lol that's really funny
Hehe
He wouldve been if he was around a little longer
Not something to be laughed at. 1. He was "on the scene" for 17 years, a decade longer than Jim M or Bon. 2. INXS were responsible for at least 5 great Aussie albums, successively.

Never tear us apart ❤
Were quite a few literal brothers in the band!
Michael is so beautiful, his hair, his face, his body, his, moves, his voice, his lyrics, his music... His soul
Someone has a crush!
Why are you gay?
Still one of my favourite INXS clips - This is the epitome of an Australian band creating the feeling of a truly Australian video clip.
You sadly missed..still beloved and not forgotten...
Hutchence was such an under-rated poet......love this song so much.....
geenomoney he underrated himself did you know that? He didn't think he was a good singer. he felt insecure
No, I didn't. His vocal range wasn't expansive but who cares. He expressed emotion with a generous topping of soul. He was never meant to be a male Mariah Carey...To me, he was the perfect singer.....Wish I could've told him.....:(

His vocal range not expansive to your standard may I know how's yours...
Based on what I remember from his biography he didn't rate himself highly as a poet, he said words to the affect he had to work hard to come up with good lyrics. He certainly has written some good song though.
It was clear at this point that they were going to be an international success, just a great track!!!!
They were already an international success with The Swing but yes Listen Like Thieves got them recognition in America on MTV and in turn in the UK where they had their big successes.
Man or women he is fit!!!
I love Hutch dance moves in this one. Lovely and beautiful man. Rip wherever you are, angel xx ❤️
Whoever chose that location for the clip was a fucking genius!!
Its Broken Hill in Australia
+Andrew Snowdon Think it was Lake Hart on the way to Coober Pedy
the parts that aren't in the salt lake are shot near silverton, just outside of Broken Hill Australia.
Agreed 1000%. The colours are so rich. That sunset, the smoke..........great stuff.
Yep Acha, to compliment the brilliant song!
This is heaven to my ears !
61 years ago a legend was born, Happy birthday Michael you handsome devil x x thank you for the beautiful music you and inxs made that voice 😍 🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
GTA:Vice Citys best memories.
One of their best... fuck they were so good.
camflint well said!
My favorite INXS song
Australians should be proud that they had one of the best groups, if not the best..
+faniymx I'm Australian and I am very proud to say INXS was ours. The best of course.
Totally agree Leroy the Drummer
We are, mate! :)
Best band to come out of Aus
AC/DC too.
his poetry just shines in this song
I recall Michael saying how hot it was there in south Australia on the salt flats.This clip captured the Australian outback like nothing else .
My husband helped on a shoot out there once, for an ad or a modelling gig. I'll have to ask him more about it.
@@xero6396 this 85 ask him.
I was at summer xs in 1991 at Wembley. still to this day the best band I have seen. brilliant.
THE BEST OF THE BEST. FOREVERRR

Great production, hasn't dated
AGREED
Muito legal!
GTA Vice City tem uma excelente trilha sonora.
Flash FM!
23 years without you... R.I.P MICHAEL HUTCHENCE 💔
What a talent ♥️
They really worked well together. Like literally every member. To match all instriments harmoniously, then to have the voice, tempo, words etc. Incredible.
Entre las mejores 5 bandas de la historia , esta canción un emblema de la banda !!!! INXS
The greatest Aussie band
Johnny O'keefe, The Easybeats, INXS, Icehouse, Rose tattoo, Cold Chisel,
Midnight Oil?
DRACOCAELITES add them as well, to be honest there isn’t one single greatest, it’s more like all are the greatest at the same time, timeless music
@@andrewking9761 and pseudo echo
Thanks GTA for making us rediscover the 80s songs.
❤️ Michael Hutchence & INXS ❤️ 🔥ALLWAYS FOREVER 🌌
What a great band this was ! Their songs will go on forever.....
Long live INXS, long live Vice City

Must have been playing on the car radio when Mom and Dad were cruising down the freeway
@@reinerdxb Cruising down the mountain!
One of the best music videos.
One of the best bands in Australia and the World, Miss Michael as he was an enigma in front of the world but behind, just your ordinary brother like guy. Best guys ever. INXS still the best.
ANDREW FARRIS YOUR KEYBOARD WORK ON THIS SONG WAS AMAZING.
The quality of this video is incredible !
GTA VICE CITY brought me here! 🎶🎶🎶🎶 such a great song!
One of my fave music clips of all time. Beautifully done and when one has been to the outback well you get the vibe even more. Thanks guys.
Tina turner whats love got to do with it
Wayne Clarkson what's that got to do with it?
Still sounds so fkn great, even after 30 years....
2021 still love this song, remember when it was released, played it on the jukebox in the pub we lived in
Just discovered this great song again. Vice City has re-introduced me to songs that I have grown to love even though I heard these songs in the 80's.
RIP Michael Kelland John Hutchence (22 January 1960 - 22 November 1997)
your music will be forever remembered as one of the best in Australia~
Australia’s greatest export.....
Happy Birthday to Michael Hutchence, today 22nd Jan 2021, you would have been 61... Always in our hearts 💕
THAT FINE AUSSIE BAND THAT WILL LIVE ON AS TIME REFLEXS THAT OF YOU MUSIC TOO THE HEART LAND OF THE 80'S" MEMORY"
Thank's Australia for /NXS.
fué el artista más sexy y cool del planeta.....😦😦😦
Why would people dislike this song, it is one of their best!!
Totally agree. 201 in fact.
I know, right? This is one their best songs
Nowt queerer than folk!
Haters gonna hate.
It's HIGHLY likely because they suffer a hearing disability. . .
Siempre en mi ♥️ INXS los amo. eternamente gracias por tan poderosa y mágica música.
Hey Millennials, this is what good music sounds like.
Hutchence was such an under-rated poet......love this song so much.....
One reason to play Vice City again.
One of the only australian bands to make it international
What about acdc
Yeah, one of the only Australian bands... oh, besides ACDC, The Easybeats, The Seekers, Little River Band, Rose Tattoo, Men At Work, The Divinyls, Icehouse, Midnight Oil, Jet, Wolfmother,..
@@Electricshrock cold chisel
@@titanwarrior9500 Sadly they never had much following outside Australia
@@Electricshrock yea fair enough
Michael and his band made such great music timeless to this day . Every single song they sang was amazing ,I have all their albums :)
One of the best bands ever
He had a great voice..!
This song makes me smile... especially at 1:12 was my favorite part
Michael can even make kicking dirt look sexy
This song randomly came on a couple of months ago while on a road trip with my best friend.....loved it ever since :)
Happy birthday Michael ❤
yeah this brings back memories. RIP Michael. Love yo bro. INS rocks... and for ever
MY HEART STILL ACHES FOR YOU🕺❤
Such a good song from such a great band. Micheal was absolutely gorgeous.
I so agree.,seemed like a sweet person,just a bit too delicate..like is not easy for sweet,sensitive people:'( I was 13 when he died and still it makes me cry thinking about this.
+Enza Sepe id go gay for michael
+ozmedic Can't say that I blame you................hahahaha
I did not know this was INXS, respect, AUS represent!

Michael Hutchence voice!!! I'm in love! 😍
One of the best song in GTA VC in flash FM
Que en paz descanses rey, nunca te vamos a olvidar ❤
Australian's are proud....RIP michael

Welcome to Flash FM of Vice City
1980年代前半、一番カッコいいロックをやっていたバンド、INXS FOREVER
Without a doubt INXS were on their way to becoming the BIGGEST band the world has ever seen. Bigger than the Beatles, bigger than AC/DC, bigger than U2, bigger than Bruce Springsteen, bigger than Metallica, bigger than Michael Jackson, this band was on a trajectory to the very top. RIP Michael, you were truly one of a kind and your music will live forever. This song imo is the best of the best that they ever produced.
After nearly 40years this song still gives me goose bumps
he's so cutie!!!
How this has only 1.6 million views is beyond me, great song from one of the biggest bands of the 80's & 90's, absolute legends and anytime I went to see them in concert always blown away and walked away afterwards thinking, Wow that was f*cking amazing
I was born in 1999 but Grand Theft Auto Vice City made me discovered this song ❤
1986: Falling down the mountain
1992: Following the damn train
poor Michael 😢
Inxs isn't the same without you
GTA...;) Sweet Gem from INXS... Quite underrated song
"Playing in the dirt, we find the seeds of doubt..." can't hear those lines without thinking of the times spent in various places of Australia: Bondi Beach, Port Melbourne, Manly Beach, Stradbroke & Moreton Islands, Balmoral, Airlie Beach, Whitsundays, Hamilton Island...
2:02 any new male artist would kill to have those moves. Awesome frontman for the ages.
Dios!!!! que tal canción, pura energía, Hutch como siempre increíble, dominio total de escena.. la parte de la canción con la llama de fuego atrás es formidable!!!!!!
This clip has mad max vibes, i love it
One of their best songs yet. 2022 still listening, oh yeah💋
Best Australian Band of All Time Outright No Other Group Came Close
Qué energía que se muestra en éste vídeo.. gran canción, la voz de Michael como siempre extraordinaria......
Se lo extraña a este tipo, pedazo de voz tenia.
Los problemas que tenia....:/
ahhhh Australia. All that wonderful space. Great band great video.
This song reminds me when I was on deployment in Antartica. 13 months straight. During the winter we used to climb all those mountains to see the beauty of that place! The anthem for my deployment! This song will always reminds me of what I experienced there!

The most "Down under" song of Inxs
Rest in peace Michael thanks for the music God bless
Talk about bringing back the memories. My god I love this song..... and quite honestly everything INXS has produced since. RIP Michael. Miss you mate...

Actually my favourite tune by INXS.
Pure nostalgia
It's All magic greatest hits fantastic Artists!
Never forgetting Beautiful talented Ace Styles OutAthisWorld Performances

I watched Mystify the other day, I cried throughout and felt melancholy for a few days after. Such a loss :(
I too had such a feeling of sadness after that doco :(
I honestly don't think i'v seen a man as beautiful as Michael apart from Jim Morrison who i think is equal to Michael in sex appeal, charisma, stage presence and infamy. He really is the 80,s - 90's Lizard King, gone but never forgotten.
