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.
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.
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. ❤️🎶❤️
My first Australian rock goddess girl-crush, she taught a whole generation that women could be angry and demand better from the world. Now I live where she was born, and hear people who knew her well talk about how amazing she always was ❤
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. 💐
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 will always adored her. She has this magic that captures and sustains you. I regret never meeting her. She is truly an angel. Rest in peace my love. ❤️
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…
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
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 🖕🏼
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.🕊☯
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.
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];-)
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.
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.
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 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.

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
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.

well said Scott
@martinedwards4522 Respect to you, my friend!
I concur.
A farm boy from small town Colorado heard her on late night radio, and now, will keep Chrissy near and dear.
Chrissy will always be a legend , taken too soon , I will never forget her , a very special lady .
Islam says other wise
R.I.P. Chrissy Amphlett…you will always be remembered and loved forever

Jesus. That last line she said brought tears to my eyes. She was an amazing woman and may she RIP.
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.
Angus Young in a skirt obviously
My first Australian rock goddess girl-crush, she taught a whole generation that women could be angry and demand better from the world.
Now I live where she was born, and hear people who knew her well talk about how amazing she always was ❤
I even love myself some days....that broke my heart. I love you Chrissy ♥

She was amazing, beautiful and a great singer
Lovely woman love the music
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 🙏🌹💝⭐️🌈
So sad for the industry to have lost this girl.
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.❤❤❤
Such an amazing lady, RIP Chrissy.

WE LOVE YOU CHRISSY.....NEVVER FORGOTTEN......YOUR A LEGEND....

A moment where we glimpsed the true Chrissie 👍
So happy I saw them, there music is still fresh. RIP
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. 💐

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.
She was so great.
Thanks Chrissy
Beautiful woman, fantastic performer. X😊
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.
Such a beautiful woman
I will always adored her. She has this magic that captures and sustains you. I regret never meeting her. She is truly an angel. Rest in peace my love. ❤️
She didn't go easy either RIP Chrissy.
She's immortal ;perrenial hits that still rock-I wa listening to one of my fav songs and wondering why I know nothing about her and here I am
Chrissy...loved your style but never knew you name ti now. RIP 🎉
Best female singer EVER❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful soul and lovely woman.
awesome talent, awesome person taken too soon
Oh she was so sweet on the interview, so different on stage. RIP pritty lady. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Wow. She was so introverted. Also wow, when 7.30 was a show worth watching.
LEGEND !!!
Her voice and those songs are magic ❤
What an amazing beautiful wonderful legend, I was lucky enough to see the band live
Truly an underrated performer. I regret never having seen the Divinyls live.
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
She battled her demons ... and her guardian angels were by her side
Rock and roll legend

I love stories like this
When they get off stage they are in heavy makeup. Sweaty and exhausted.

Rest easy girl.
An eternal icon.

RIP Chrissy surly mist xxxx Pleasure and pain ❤
She was a one off….such a shame she was taken so early and under those circumstances! ☹️
Great voice/style
Amphlett was Punk incarnate!
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.
Didn't know she passed away actually. I liked her attitude a lot.

miss the. Days when Kerry O’Brien headed up ABC current affairs.
"16 candles " is an Americana classic film from the 80s and her work is on the soundtrack
Which song?
Or do you mean the actual background music soundtrack for the movie?
@wizrom3046 Rev up
@@whateveritwasitis thank you 👍
Is actually "Ring me up"
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 even love myself, some days.
We lost her to cancer apparently she passed in New York big loss
She got her inspiration from Angus Young. No wonder she was a badass. ❤
