The total and adored Rock and Roll Queen of Australia, if not the world. Who strutted and posed, pouted and blazed all over the stage, in perfect timing, furious unique tone and delivery, in perfect key and rhythm... looking like every man's wet dream. She was peerless. Is Peerless. So glad to see her enjoying some stability there, at that time on her journey.
There was NEVER one like her and there will NEVER be ANOTHER one. She was a live wire. An inexhaustible fire. Wildly energetic. UNAPOLOGETIC! What she demonstrated Will never be emulated. Australia's reigning rock chick. She did this country - and the world - so proud. Never be forgotten.
Oh my heart when she said, "i even Love myself some days" 😭💔❤️❤️ RIP you amazing Woman. Thank you for your great, unique music.. There will never be another you. ❤️🎶❤️
What a performer she was. Her own method, her own look, everything about her was unique. Mark McEntee was a great musician, taking nothing away from him. Everything that mainstream was, they weren’t, and they were in a league of their own. One of the greatest Aussie bands ever.
She was a fantastic performer. The first song I heard was pleasure and pain. Then, when I heard I touch myself, that whole cd was awesome. And she sounds just as good live. We lost a Legend. She was simply beautiful.❤❤❤
As a deep lover of rock n roll, I feel totally gifted by Chrissy and the Divinyls. I loved their music their stage drama and most of all I love Christine Amphlett. WOW!!!!
There was so much more to this woman than what met the eye and ear. A revelation of sorts that is truly fascinating and simply honest. Always liked her. Saddened, she is gone. Peace in heaven, Christina. 💐
I don’t truly believe that we will ever have another rock chick here in Australia that will even come close to Chrissy’s talent ! Rip GODESS you are massively missed ! 🖕🏼Cancer 🖕🏼
Chrissy locked those eyes and attitude on me as she sang in an Innisfail niteclub back in The Day because she caught me looking at her ... with ..very high interest as I headed to the bathrooms and she gave me that amazing come hither look , I was 18, she was in her school uniform 😶.. a truly awesome stage presence and personal crowd contact.. but it completely freaked me out.. and she loved it. So did I. I won't forget that one. I miss them and her much. Sorry it ended that way. What a band, what amazing music, what a musical legacy and what a life story.
I worked in Japanese restaurant in Perth in the mid 80s. We were one of the few exotic places open on Sunday nights. This attracted many bands who were passing through. Phil Collins probably being our most famous customer. The great thing was that to get to the toilet patrons had to walk right through the kitchen wherein I'd collar them for an autograph. Chrissie came in and she was so pissed and sweaty and so completely unattractive but she happily signed a music magazine I just happened to have lying about. RIP sweaty girl Xxx
When they get off stage they are in heavy makeup. Sweaty and exhausted. Such a story but performing , drugs , drinking. It normal for singers to look disheveled. Lol. I’ve met some very great performers after a show and have to stand back and sink it all in. RIP Chrissy. God bless.
Mentioned to the Icehouse team after seeing them in concert recently how good it would be to be able to see Chrissie perform with them one more time. We all agreed about what a talent she was and how big a loss it was when she left us…
It's amazing how the story is the same with every performer when it come to allowing the demons to play with you. The AKA spirits for Alcohol is rightfully so. Great interview with her. She certainly sorted it all out.c];-)
I think she was full of music and pouring your soul and heart and mind creates a fusion very few can attain and the stage and love of the people propels her performance to a level we can all cherish upon the vibes
In 1983 a buddy and myself took turns as we rode from Southern Idaho to Anaheim for the US festival on a Honda Shadow 600. I was never really into the new wave scene and I was there primarily for Metal day. Then the Divinyls and Missing Persons performed and I took notice. I also really liked INXS, Flock of Seagulls (the video “I ran” was always on MTV) and Men at Work had a couple of songs. Great event, too much heat, lots of hot chicks and a ride back to Southern Idaho.
Smart, beautiful and self destructive and dead at fifty-three. Even today the mural in that back lane over the wheely bins in Geelong still has enormous power. I to looked at it and it's nothing on uneven bricks. But, I was amazed at how it came out on the vid I made...it seemed stunning alive. Amphlett is one who will never rest in peace.
Good interview, if short. I admit a bit surprising. She has a lovely speaking voice. I don't think I'd ever heard her speak before. she seems calm and intelligent. 53 is too young to go. Her health issues were just too serious. I think she wasn't able to fight her cancer the way most people do because her multiple sclerosis prevented her from getting treatment. I really have no doubt that if she had lived, she would still be making music. But we can only wonder. rest in peace Chrissy.🕊☯
It is a shame that she never got the recognition in the US that she deserved .. I never see her name listed in greatest women of rock .. just ridicules.
Wow i just found out this wonderful woman died many years ago :-( I had always heard 'i touch myself' on the radio and enjoying it, but then i actually downloaded it (video too) and listened more than a few times and realised just what a great voice and how sexy this lady was.. so much so i googled her name to find this sad info. God bless you Christine Amphlett RIP for all eternity X
It's one of her most famous songs but it's probably my least favourite. The *Australian version* of What a Life is unbelievably good. The US version not so much.
I thought it was a song from an Austin Powers movie? Never knew there was a band . Until today 2023 I had no idea what the person looked like that sang the song. Same thing with INXS , I was years behind on that wave too.
In the 80’s and 90’s it wasn’t unusual for Australian successful bands to walk away with Dept. Managers made good money whilst the band’s due the ridiculous contracts they signed inherited the Dept which went to management record companies
I knew one of the nephews of the Divinyls' guitarist. He told me that the guitarist too was soon out of money back in the late 1990s. He then had to rely on his wife.
She was an amazing Aussie gal and a great singer too. I loved her voice and you're not a true blue Aussie if you don't have The Divinyls albums in your collection.
I wonder when this interview was originally done? It says it aired in April of 2013, but Chrissy passed away on the month and year, so obviously it was done before that.

She was a rock goddess
our finest
Hell hath no fury?
The very last one!! And she was ours….
Still is and always will be
Chrissy will always be a legend , taken too soon , I will never forget her , a very special lady .
Islam says other wise
Oh my heart when she said, "i even Love myself some days" 😭💔❤️❤️ RIP you amazing Woman. Thank you for your great, unique music.. There will never be another you. ❤️🎶❤️
That's the realist shit I've heard in a long while.
What a performer she was. Her own method, her own look, everything about her was unique. Mark McEntee was a great musician, taking nothing away from him. Everything that mainstream was, they weren’t, and they were in a league of their own. One of the greatest Aussie bands ever.
Jesus. That last line she said brought tears to my eyes. She was an amazing woman and may she RIP.
I even love myself some days....that broke my heart. I love you Chrissy ♥
That voice. It makes any song better
So sad for the industry to have lost this girl.
AH Chrissy, you are so sadly missed, thanks for your great song writing, voice and music, you are a true Aussie Legend!
What a treasure we lost. I hope you’re flying free and doing whatever makes you happy, and, most of all, I hope you love yourself 🙏🌹💝⭐️🌈
She's still so beautiful in that interview... When she said she even loves herself some days sounded so sexy to me...
She was amazing, beautiful and a great singer
She was a fantastic performer. The first song I heard was pleasure and pain. Then, when I heard I touch myself, that whole cd was awesome. And she sounds just as good live. We lost a Legend. She was simply beautiful.❤❤❤
Amazing person. Miss you Chrissy!
Lovely woman love the music
As a deep lover of rock n roll, I feel totally gifted by Chrissy and the Divinyls. I loved their music their stage drama and most of all I love Christine Amphlett. WOW!!!!
What an amazing beautiful wonderful legend, I was lucky enough to see the band live
RIP Chrissy .. you will always be remembered in rock heaven. 😇🤗 awesome interview by the way 🥳💣
There was so much more to this woman than what met the eye and ear. A revelation of sorts that is truly fascinating and simply honest. Always liked her. Saddened, she is gone. Peace in heaven, Christina. 💐
Oh she was so sweet on the interview, so different on stage. RIP pritty lady. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Love Divinyls and love Chrissy.
Such an amazing lady, RIP Chrissy.
She didn't go easy either RIP Chrissy.
Its great she overcame her demons and realised her worth and how much people love her, the eyes say it all when she gets that eletric look
I don’t truly believe that we will ever have another rock chick here in Australia that will even come close to Chrissy’s talent ! Rip GODESS you are massively missed ! 🖕🏼Cancer 🖕🏼

So did I.
I won't forget that one.
I miss them and her much.
Sorry it ended that way.
What a band, what amazing music, what a musical legacy and what a life story.
Good interview. She was a great singer and performer, happy days in the early 80s
I worked in Japanese restaurant in Perth in the mid 80s. We were one of the few exotic places open on Sunday nights. This attracted many bands who were passing through. Phil Collins probably being our most famous customer. The great thing was that to get to the toilet patrons had to walk right through the kitchen wherein I'd collar them for an autograph.

RIP sweaty girl

I love stories like this
When they get off stage they are in heavy makeup. Sweaty and exhausted.
Such a story but performing , drugs , drinking. It normal for singers to look disheveled. Lol. I’ve met some very great performers after a show and have to stand back and sink it all in.
RIP Chrissy. God bless.
Truly an underrated performer. I regret never having seen the Divinyls live.
I had no idea she passed away 11 years now, I loved her song/video when I heard it on MTV way back in 1990 or 91. RIP Christine, taken to soon.
So happy I saw them, there music is still fresh. RIP
WE LOVE YOU CHRISSY.....NEVVER FORGOTTEN......YOUR A LEGEND....
Chrissy...loved your style but never knew you name ti now. RIP 🎉
Always loved 😍 ❤️ never forgotten ❤️
Her voice and those songs are magic ❤
Mentioned to the Icehouse team after seeing them in concert recently how good it would be to be able to see Chrissie perform with them one more time. We all agreed about what a talent she was and how big a loss it was when she left us…
Best female singer EVER❤❤❤❤❤
awesome talent, awesome person taken too soon
She was so great.
Such a beautiful woman
I love her answer to being asked about urinating on stage "I don't know if I ever purposely did it"😄
it' a great answers 😀
Lovely!

Rock and roll legend
The first two albums!!...Rockers!!👍👍
I think she was full of music and pouring your soul and heart and mind creates a fusion very few can attain and the stage and love of the people propels her performance to a level we can all cherish upon the vibes
RIP beautiful Lady of RocknRoll, she found her true love friend in the life, she's found herself ✨️🩷🪶

Best concert ever festival hall Brisbane in the early 80s

what ever you felt was what makes us rockers go go wowowwwee
She pulled me out of the crowd at the Palais theatre onto the stage never forgot it
She was a one off….such a shame she was taken so early and under those circumstances! ☹️
Good interview, if short. I admit a bit surprising. She has a lovely speaking voice. I don't think I'd ever heard her speak before. she seems calm and intelligent. 53 is too young to go.

RIP Chrissy... not a day goes by
Gone way too soon
yeah that love you always have it is just a little tough...your a great artist GB
Great voice/style
RIP Chrissy surly mist xxxx Pleasure and pain ❤
It is a shame that she never got the recognition in the US that she deserved .. I never see her name listed in greatest women of rock .. just ridicules.
God I love this Woman
A women before her time❤❤
Amphlett was Punk incarnate!
Wow i just found out this wonderful woman died many years ago :-(
I had always heard 'i touch myself' on the radio and enjoying it, but then i actually downloaded it (video too) and listened more than a few times and realised just what a great voice and how sexy this lady was.. so much so i googled her name to find this sad info.

It's one of her most famous songs but it's probably my least favourite. The *Australian version* of What a Life is unbelievably good. The US version not so much.
I just find out myself today. Funny how life happens. No auto tune just raw emotion and talent. The Divinyls!
R.I.P.
I thought it was a song from an Austin Powers movie? Never knew there was a band . Until today 2023 I had no idea what the person looked like that sang the song. Same thing with INXS , I was years behind on that wave too.
We lost her to cancer apparently she passed in New York big loss
R.I.P. Chrissy.
Didn't know she passed away actually. I liked her attitude a lot.
😢 thank you hon xx
She got her inspiration from Angus Young. No wonder she was a badass. ❤
Rest in Peace Chrissy
I even love myself, some days.
In the 80’s and 90’s it wasn’t unusual for Australian successful bands to walk away with Dept. Managers made good money whilst the band’s due the ridiculous contracts they signed inherited the Dept which went to management record companies
I knew one of the nephews of the Divinyls' guitarist. He told me that the guitarist too was soon out of money back in the late 1990s. He then had to rely on his wife.
Did she have a separate income?
Like Janis Joplin in my books - you Chrissy are simply awesome.
Shes pretty! ❤
She was easily as powerful a singer and stage presence as Pat Benatar. And a raw sexuality like none other. We lost her to soon.
She was an amazing Aussie gal and a great singer too. I loved her voice and you're not a true blue Aussie if you don't have The Divinyls albums in your collection.
❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder when this interview was originally done? It says it aired in April of 2013, but Chrissy passed away on the month and year, so obviously it was done before that.
yes my mistake it was aired in 2005, have fixed it up

Cool. I wasn't even aware that she had passed away until recently. RIP Chrissy 😞
I liked her sultry voice.
Belmont south of Geelong not Melbourne
great aussies...😊😊
