INXS ("in excess") has so many big hits. 'Never Tear Us Apart' is probably a good logical next step. But you can't go wrong w/ them, really. They're a solid band. Just pick anything.
A lesser hit I love is "The Stairs" I thought it so cool how he described a relationship happening by passing each other on the stairs. It might have helped that I saw "Rent" right around the same time this came out.
Inxs were THE band.of the 90s, superb band,saw them at Wembley stadium . Kick was a classic album!! Listen to DONT CHANGE if you have a chance,one of their first hits. Cool band.
Made my day and it's still morning. I was so happy to see that you all were going to react to INXS. They are still my favorite band to this day. If you go down the INXS rabbit hole I would suggest "What you Need (Live at Wembley), "Never Tear Us Apart", and Suicide Blonde.
Haha…. That is a rat, not a mouse! Yes it’s a booty call. We didn’t play games in the 80s. Now, first Michael Hutchence. Talented sexy man who could really sing. That band sizzled and sparked like a star from heaven. Then suddenly it all came crashing down. Bob Geldof’s wife, Paula Yates, severely known as an addict had started an affair with Micheal, who was several years younger than herself and she was pregnant. Of course she began to share her addiction with him as well. At one point they were arrested for possession of opium. Tiger Lily was born, daughter to Michael and Paula. Paula wanted to visit him on tour with their daughter and her other 3 children but their father Geldof, had the court forbid her from taking his kids with her to Australia. The two men argued but Geldof would not budge. It was Christmas. Each father wanted their children. When Michael couldn’t see Tiger Lily, he committed suicide by hanging with a belt in his hotel room. This talented young man was gone. Alcohol, cocaine, Prozac and variety of prescription drugs…. And the wrong woman, brought everything to an end. In 1997, at age 37. In 2000, Yates died of a heroin overdose. Tragic people who had been on top of the world at one point. Gone. In case you did not recognize the name, Bob Geldof was the original organizer to the LIVE AID famine relief for Africa. After Yates died, he adopted Tiger Lily and raised her as his own with his other three daughters. This my young friends is REAL life. You just can’t make up this sh*t.
All of this and tragically Peaches Geldof Paula's and Bob's daughter died at age 25 in 2014 the same way as her mother, all round three people who died way before they should of 😔 ✌💕
This band was prolific and here are the hits spanning from the very early 80's until the lead singer's death: INXS (Don't change, Original sin, Listen like thieves, This time, Taste it, By my side, Disappear, Just keep walking, The one thing, Kiss the dirt, Good times [Jimmy Barnes], Not enough time, To look at you, The loved one, Kick, Mediate, Need you tonight, Never tear us apart, Mystify, New Sensation, Guns in the sky, Devil Inside, Beautiful girl, Afterglow, The strangest party, Elegantly wasted, Suicide blonde),
"Need You Tonight" segues seamlessly into the next track on the album, a poem Andrew Farriss wrote and put to music called "Mediate." Both tracks are in the same tempo and based on the same drum machine groove, so they flow together very well. When the band heard how well they stitched together, they decided to segue them.
Mediate is a mimic and homage to Bob Dylan's song/rap Subterranean Homesick Blues 1965. That's why Micheal is also dressed like a hippie. You can check out Bob's song on YT and see for yourself, it's exact except for the words. th-cam.com/video/MGxjIBEZvx0/w-d-xo.html
INXS were huge in Australia and spanned decades - 70s, 80s & 90s. They toured all the local pubs, toured overseas and maintained their friendship throughout all the highs & lows. Michael had the X-Factor that guys wanted to have & that the girls all loved. He was the Ultimate frontman (RIP). Every band member had a different personality & was a crucial part of the success of INXS. Definitely check out the live show at Wembley at the height of their fame! Sold out Wembley Stadium - 74,000 fans! Recorded on 35 mm film & 17 cameras & filmed by helicopters - it blew up the band’s profits from the show but now we have this recorded footage forever (Hard to believe that is 30 years ago!!) What you Need, New Sensation, Live baby Live, Suicide Blonde, Need you Tonight, Never Tear us Apart, Devil Inside. Ahh the memories!
Thanks for reacting to this with "Mediate". Other good songs with videos are "What you need" "New Sensation" "Never tear us apart" and "Suicide Blonde".
I saw these guys live a couple of years before this song came out, and they were fire! Michael Hutchence is one of the best front men of all time, and the band was superb. I’ve been a huge fan ever since.
First off- credit where credit is due.. I love this song and always have- but I usually HATE when I see someone react to it.. why?? Because they’re not using the FULL title when asking someone to do it.. and they stop, right when the drums kick in.. Sooo many haven’t even heard the entire song- it’s as you titled it-“Need you tonight/MEDIATE.” They have many good songs- I suggest “Never Tear us Apart” next-ALSO, please remember the same if/ when (hopefully 🤞🏼🤞🏼) you do “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell. (Great vibe!) The full title and song is called “Tainted Love/where did our love go)” The “where did our love go” last half.. is a musts-Sooo many channels have missed that part cuz people just saying “Taintrd love” without that last part.. So PLEASE do that one and in full- I was so happy to see when y’all did this and the Mediate was in the title!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼great job!! 💜✌️👍
A great band and you're in for a treat exploring their back catalogue. I was a teen when KICK came out, so this was music played at discos and parties and in people's cars. It was everywhere. I was lucky enough to see them in concert a few times (including at Wembley) and they were incredible live. And if you like sax, try "Never tear Us Apart"
Great reaction! 🌞 I love this song! So many memories! INXS (in excess) were one of the great Aussie bands in the '80's & 90's. They were formed in Sydney in 1977. They had massive success worldwide - one of the few Aussie acts to successfully crack the US market. The album this song is from, Kick, peaked at no 3 on the US charts & No 1 in Australia & Canada. They have so many hits - Stay Young, The One Thing, Don't Change, Original Sin, I Send A Message, Burn For You, Dancing On The Jetty, Listen Like Thieves, What You Need, Kiss The Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain), This Time, New Sensation, Never Tear Us Apart, Devil Inside, Mystify, Suicide Blonde, Disappear, By My Side, Bitter Tears Baby Don't Cry, Taste It, Beautiful Girl., Heaven Sent, Not Enough Time. RIP Michael Hutchence. Such an amazing talent. Such a massive loss 😪
There was also a rumor it had something to do with Bob Geldof's wife being in a love triangle with him and Geldof. He did the coolest thing in a concert I went to. They loved to invite the young girls on stage and dance at certain points of the concert. Well, this one girl got a bit too excited and was hugging and grabbing all over Hutchinson. This huge security guard, twice the size of Hutchinson grab the girl really roughly, lifted her up in a bear hug and roughly carried her off the stage kicking and screaming. Hutchinson saw this and ran up to the guard who was literally towering over him and pushed him in the back. Over his mic you could hear him say, "Don't you EVER treat my fans like that again." The guard turned around to attack whoever had pushed him and saw who it was. He put the girl down and slinked off the stage. I heard later he invited her and her friends backstage and gave them a bunch of stuff.
This song was HUGE in the 80's. It turned INXS into a super group from a curiosity. It was played everywhere especially at any sort of catered event, like a wedding, xmas party, even dance clubs by the DJ. If you asked a girl to go to a concert with you and you said it was INXS, you were in my man! I saw them 3 times in 6 months and I didn't even like them that much at first. LOL. But uhm, lets just say I learned to like them. :) And they do put on a great show. And depending what story you believe, he either hung himself. Possibly because he was depressed because his affair with Bob Geldof's wife(live Aid organizer and one hit wonder of "I don't like Mondays") ended. Or accidently hung himself while performing a sex act. Autoerotic asphyxiation
INXS fantastic australian band, they were so good live, michael never recovered from being hit on the head with a heavy spot light on stage it affected his mental health big time, such a shame as it was only looking back that people realised how badly affected he was. He was handsome sexy guy but in life was quiet and shy, like John Lennon couldn't see without his glasses
I saw them 3 times in like a 6 month period. Once at Madison Square Garden, Then Radio City Music Hall. Then Nassau Coliseum. And every show was amazing. And this is not even my type of music at all. I think is aw them in the late 80's.
OMG... Thank you for doing this version with both songs. Most reactors do Need You Tonight, alone. And I comment EVERY time that I wish they had done the one that goes into Mediate. SO, you are a big hero!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
INXS (pronounced "In excess") was one of Australia's biggest bands. Probably only ACDC and Bee Gees were bigger. Were huge in the late 1980's til the mid 1990's when the lead singer, who also wrote many of their hits, tragically passed away (pretty young). Radio stations when they were new also did not know how to pronounce the bands name either..lol. They probably have like 20 hits, all are staples on the radio, some til this day. Songs "New Sensation" "Don't Change" and "Never tear us apart" are the biggest ones still on any classic rock channel on radio or steaming. Were considered alternative, like REM, back in the day. "Mediate" portion of the video was an homage to Bob Dylan, who famously put lyrics just like that on cards and would flip them in sync to the lyrics. See "Subterranean Homesick Blues" video by Dylan, a 1965 song. Their apex was playing at Wembley stadium in London around 1993? 100,000 fans, probably the most women in the audience you will ever see for a rock concert, like 70% women. The lead singer, Michael Hutchence, was considered, um, quite the good looking guy by girls in my school..lol
Written by the late Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss. Produced by Chris Thomas. This song was sampled. The opening guitar riff was interpolated into the Dua Lipa song Break My Heart 💔.
Check out "Don't Change" by INXS (pronounced in excess). A massive band in the late 80s, early 90s with plenty of great songs. Australian rock was gold in the 80s and 90s.
INXS was one of the hottest bands of the eighties! Michael Hutchence’s voice with the others guys musicality made them unstoppable! I liked your review of these two songs more than most because you played them as they were meant to be played, back to back! Also check out their hits, New Sensation, Suicide Blonde, Never Tear Us Apart, Original Sin, Beautiful Girl, What You Need, and more! ❤️❤️
INXS was pretty much in the top few biggest bands in the world in the late 80s, and were still huge into the 90s. They were on MTV constantly with new songs all the time, and they were one of the best live performing bands...the lead singer, Michael Hutchence, is still considered one of the legendary front men, he just killed it every time. Unfortunately he died in 1997.
That's was the INXS JAM in the late 1980s! We used to JAM to this song in the clubs! SO sad, that lead singer Michael Hutchence battled depression and aggression after a bicycle accident in the early 1990s and hung himself in 1997. Gone way too soon. The spirit of Michael's lively and soulful vocals still live on! And the song's finish....classic! RIP Michael! It was #1 on the Hot-100 and Dance Charts too! 😊👏🏾🎤🎶🎸🥁🎹💯
RIP Michael Hutchence!!! I share his birthday! He would’ve been 62 this year. He was amazing! I remember when they announced that he passed away! It was very heartbreaking! Pronounced N X S(just say these letters)
When I was a kid I thought it was "Inkses" ... They were as good as any band in the '80s. One of the great bands of all time, so many iconic songs. In '87 I was 16. Michael Hutchence was at the height of his sexual prowess in this video. It was a sad day when he died.
Great reaction to the second song. It's such a jam and fun video. My fave part is when the beat changes between songs. Both the video and the song pay homage to the promotional film clip for Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" Look up... Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues (Official Video)
I'm so glad you played it with Mediate at the end. I feel complete. I understand that the white rat in the I Need You Tonight video belonged to a friend. It wasn't planned to be in the video, but Michael liked it.
This guy was one of the 4-5 per year Erotic asphyxiation (variously called asphyxiophilia, hypoxyphilia or breath control play) is the intentional restriction of oxygen to the brain for the purposes of sexual arousal. The term autoerotic asphyxiation is used when the act is done by a person to themselves. Colloquially, a person engaging in the activity is sometimes called a gasper.[1] Erotic asphyxiation can lead to accidental death due to asphyxia.
Thanks for your reaction! Great 80's band with Lead singer/songwriter that all the ladies loved (was considered to be one of the "sexiest men alive at the time"). Our hearts were broken forever when Micheal Hutchence committed suicide.
Aussie music legends 👍 it's 2 songs they're separate on the album. They are in excess as in INXs. Deep dive they're awesome. Check out the live at Wembley stuff
Original Sin - Need you tonight - Great Sensation - Never Tear Us apart - By my side - Suicide Blonde - Mystify, are some of my favorite INXS tunes, but there's plenty more. Best thing to do is listen to the Kick Album - not completely hooked after that, you never will be
"New Sensation" and "What You Need" are also great songs by them! Especially the live versions... (Official Live Video) Live From Wembley Stadium 1991 / Live Baby Live) Michael Hutchence was a great singer and frontman... RIP...
Definitely rate “The Stairs” by Inxs it is relative to being a humanitarian and respecting and acknowledging fellow humans as our brothers and sisters. Worth the listen
I have been waiting for you guys to get in to INXS ❤️ Love your reaction 😍 please continue, I would recommend watching a live performance anything from Wembley stadium 1991 Live Baby Live Thanks from the land down under ❤️
I liked that you both were smiling and enjoying INXS. Just listening to this song will make my day better. It's going to be a great Friday!! Keep going down the INXS rabbit hole. They will not disappoint
INXS - Never Tear Us Apart INXS - Suicide Blonde INXS - By My Side And you should listen to Terence Trent D'Arby - Holding On To You (Sananda Maitreya) Wishing Well Dance Little Sister Sign Your Name If You Let Me Stay Delicate ft. Des'ree Des'ree - You Gotta Be Des'ree - I'm Kissing You Des'ree - Life
RIP Michael Hutchence - one of a kind

Never Tear Us Apart eats your guts out every single time.
New Sensation is a great track too.... still great sounds.
“Never Tear Us Apart” has one of the best sax drops ever.
That song to me is the perfect song
Yep!
That's another Good Tune!
Acutally they are from 1977.
DEVIL INSIDE era a melhor!!!!
I was a huge INXS fan as a kid. RIP Michael Hutchence.
Can you please react to Jam by Michael Jackson or Give into me by Michael Jackson.
Why not something great like, Butterflies ?
no?
INXS have sooo many good songs! Try “New Sensation” by them next! Or “Tear Us Apart” for a slightly different vibe …
Inxs were THE band.of the 90s, superb band,saw them at Wembley stadium . Kick was a classic album!! Listen to DONT CHANGE if you have a chance,one of their first hits.
Cool band.
more of the late 80s. there was a big transition in music genres going into the 90s. But they were pretty popular at that time they came out.
Please do INXS "new sensation" live at wembley stadium, you will not be dissapointed.
RIP Michael Hutchence
Made my day and it's still morning. I was so happy to see that you all were going to react to INXS. They are still my favorite band to this day. If you go down the INXS rabbit hole I would suggest "What you Need (Live at Wembley), "Never Tear Us Apart", and Suicide Blonde.

From the mid 80's into the 90's INXS we're one of the biggest acts in the world. Multiple Top 40 songs in the UK and the US.
Don’t Change is a great early 80s song from this group. One of my favorites.
INXS is a great rabbit role. They’ve been sampled a ton by hip hop, most recently by Dua Lipa with don’t break my heart
INXS were huge in Australia and spanned decades - 70s, 80s & 90s. They toured all the local pubs, toured overseas and maintained their friendship throughout all the highs & lows.
Michael had the X-Factor that guys wanted to have & that the girls all loved. He was the Ultimate frontman (RIP). Every band member had a different personality & was a crucial part of the success of INXS.

No he didn't. Depression took him, as it does to millions of struggling people each year.
@@boki1693 Security guy doing his job. Some of these fans are certified lunatics.
Great band, great song(s), blew up our world.
😂🤣 in those grins when ya'll realized lyrics!!
Missing Michael, RIP.
More everything INXS please. ❤👍🏽
Mediate is a mimic, shout out to Bob Dylan's rap/song Subterranean Homesick Blues (1965). Bob did it first.
The first song I heard from INXS was Don’t Change and I still love it to this day…it goes back a few years 😁. I would also suggest Devil Inside. 😎👍
Don't change is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Love this band, you say INXS like (In - excess)
song to check out are What you need, Suicide Blonde, New Sensation, Never Tear us Apart, Original Sin.
Goodonya for playing the whole video.💯👌

INXS fantastic australian band, they were so good live, michael never recovered from being hit on the head with a heavy spot light on stage it affected his mental health big time, such a shame as it was only looking back that people realised how badly affected he was. He was handsome sexy guy but in life was quiet and shy, like John Lennon couldn't see without his glasses
Did you know Michael too, because you seem to really know him?
❤️
I saw INXS in 1991 in Louisville,KY.The show was flawless.RIP Michael Hutchens.
I saw them 3 times in like a 6 month period. Once at Madison Square Garden, Then Radio City Music Hall. Then Nassau Coliseum. And every show was amazing. And this is not even my type of music at all. I think is aw them in the late 80's.
The Film clip for Mediate was filmed in Wollongong NSW 1hrs drive south of Sydney Australia at the BHP steelworks in 1987.
I had a life sized poster of Michael Hutchence. Lol
I was in high school when this song came out. Loved this album.
INXS "This Time"...Nuff Said.
Broke my heart when Michael died... 😭 Never Tear us Apart gets me.. great Sax play
OMG... Thank you for doing this version with both songs. Most reactors do Need You Tonight, alone. And I comment EVERY time that I wish they had done the one that goes into Mediate. SO, you are a big hero!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Gotta listen to INXS - Never Tear Us Apart. It's their best song, imo. RIP Michael Hutchence.
I would be happy to meet Michael for the evening. So effing beautiful. And that voice. He was a huge crush of mine in the 80s.

Check out "Don't Change" by INXS (pronounced in excess). A massive band in the late 80s, early 90s with plenty of great songs. Australian rock was gold in the 80s and 90s.
INXS was one of the hottest bands of the eighties! Michael Hutchence’s voice with the others guys musicality made them unstoppable!

Hardly any group bigger LIVE at their apex than INXS-
The Clash-
Metallica-
Guns N Roses-
INXS was right there among the best live.
INXS fully rocked.

Never tear us apart next!
Ill always love INXS. Rip Michael
Never Tear Us Apart!🖤
The cheese of 80s music videos is an epic thing!
You played Mediate. Thank you. Most reaction channels cut it off after Need You Tonight ends. Thank you again!
RIP Michael Hutchence!!! I share his birthday! He would’ve been 62 this year. He was amazing! I remember when they announced that he passed away! It was very heartbreaking!
Pronounced N X S(just say these letters)
You guys should watch INXS performance at Wembley stadium in London 1991
First concert I ever saw when I was 13.
Their album Kick was packed with great songs and even better memories…
One of the Greatest Australian bands ever being l am from Australian u need to listen to Never Tear Us Apart
You let Mediate run! awesome reaction.
When I was a kid I thought it was "Inkses" ... They were as good as any band in the '80s. One of the great bands of all time, so many iconic songs. In '87 I was 16. Michael Hutchence was at the height of his sexual prowess in this video. It was a sad day when he died.
Great reaction to the second song. It's such a jam and fun video. My fave part is when the beat changes between songs.
Both the video and the song pay homage to the promotional film clip for Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues"
Look up... Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues (Official Video)
Watch them live at the Wembley video - you will feel the vibe, and you will say this ain't no GHOSTBUSTERS!
yes, that live Wembly version is best version
I'm so glad you played it with Mediate at the end. I feel complete.
I understand that the white rat in the I Need You Tonight video belonged to a friend. It wasn't planned to be in the video, but Michael liked it.
Mystify by them is 👌🏻❤
My band back in the day, they are great live. Thanks, for playing the entire song, unlike others. I will be watching for your next INXS song.
INXS "THE ONE THING" original video (my favorite song from them). ❤️
I suggest the following INXS songs: Don't Change & Never Tear Us Apart
australian music in the 80's and 90's was at it best. check it out.
This guy was one of the 4-5 per year Erotic asphyxiation (variously called asphyxiophilia, hypoxyphilia or breath control play) is the intentional restriction of oxygen to the brain for the purposes of sexual arousal. The term autoerotic asphyxiation is used when the act is done by a person to themselves. Colloquially, a person engaging in the activity is sometimes called a gasper.[1] Erotic asphyxiation can lead to accidental death due to asphyxia.
Beautiful Girl and Devil Inside by INXS are dope. I also recommend Twilight Zone (live) by Golden Earing and Skateawsy by Dire Straits.
great album to smoke with.. loved reaction they are great band!
I saw these guys in concert. They put on a fantastic show and sounded the same live as they did on record.
Great band! Along with the other songs mentioned here two of their best rockers are Devil Inside and The One Thing.
I forgot just how hip this video was. Dopeness!
from a bad ass album Kick! Japanese clubs! never got turned down for a dance. and sometimes more!
Thanks for your reaction! Great 80's band with Lead singer/songwriter that all the ladies loved (was considered to be one of the "sexiest men alive at the time"). Our hearts were broken forever when Micheal Hutchence committed suicide.
Aussie music legends 👍 it's 2 songs they're separate on the album. They are in excess as in INXs. Deep dive they're awesome. Check out the live at Wembley stuff
Original Sin - Need you tonight - Great Sensation - Never Tear Us apart - By my side - Suicide Blonde - Mystify, are some of my favorite INXS tunes, but there's plenty more. Best thing to do is listen to the Kick Album - not completely hooked after that, you never will be
"New Sensation" and "What You Need" are also great songs by them! Especially the live versions... (Official Live Video) Live From Wembley Stadium 1991 / Live Baby Live) Michael Hutchence was a great singer and frontman... RIP...
It is funny to see a female's reaction when Michael Hutchence appears on the screen. He was one of the coolest guys from the 80's, RIP MH.
Never heard the extended version with the rap at the end before! Thanks both.
Definitely rate “The Stairs” by Inxs it is relative to being a humanitarian and respecting and acknowledging fellow humans as our brothers and sisters. Worth the listen
One of Australia's largest band ever. Please go the rabbit hole with them
INXS were a really great Australian band...I loved them !!!!!
What You Need and Mystify are 2 of my favorites by them.
I have been waiting for you guys to get in to INXS ❤️
Love your reaction 😍 please continue, I would recommend watching a live performance anything from Wembley stadium 1991 Live Baby Live
Thanks from the land down under ❤️
Check out their song 'Mystify'. And 'Beautiful girl'.
im so glad you reacted to ( the entire video ), as always great reactions !!!
1st time I see girl recklezz smile and get amazed!
You need to watch this group LIVE performances.
Imagine if rap singers voices were as beautiful as this
I liked that you both were smiling and enjoying INXS. Just listening to this song will make my day better. It's going to be a great Friday!!
Keep going down the INXS rabbit hole. They will not disappoint

This song was so HOT....They used to play it on BET back in the day.
Including Mediate was a boss move. You can react to everything off the album Kick. It us all killer. No filler.
80's had the BEST music!!!
Props for not cutting mediate. Both in themselves are amazing and cutting edge at the time
