INXS - Elegantly Wasted 

You couldn't be an Aussie gen x and not love INXS.

All day! I love INXS for life! Micheal's voice is and will always be impeccable! Oh my goodness, how I miss him. I wish I had the chance to see them live!

I am!

O M G!!! Just had this cut come up in YTMusic autoplay... I can't believe I forgot this .. (???) . Haven't heard in years. Stunned. I loved this song and now it is reborn in my life!!!! Thank you INXS AND RU-vid Music😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

Here in July 2024❤ such a legend of Rock.

If it was a kick snare kick snare house remix with a shitty 808 maybe it would. I hate what music has become, i hate house music i hate reggaeton

A lot of their music could tbh

Not that that's saying much, but yeah

With the shit that's around 2day, yeh - of course. With a few people saying, that MH added in the lyrics "I'm better than Oasis" and can clearly hear him saying it.. must been on drugs. But Inxs are and were definitely better than Oasis. And so were U2. That could be said of any of U2's major hits back in 1980s, would be hits now too. Even with Simple Minds.

@nouid9435 one can clearly hear Hutchins singing that lyric, built into the mix. Brilliant move, Imo

I can't disagree, I have been a huge fan for 40 years since the beginning, in the 90s my room was covered with INXS posters, and I was in my 20s!

@@Ottotherepoman1 me too such a shame xx

I agree that "underrated" is used too much and inappropriately at times in RU-vid comments. I think that goes for your post as well, unfortunately. INXS is one of the top Australian acts in history, selling over 75 million records, with several #1 songs and albums, at least 37 major music awards, and nearly a half-billion views on RU-vid. So, I think they've been rated just right.

2022 and he still is sadly

they are not underrated tho

This is so true! Just this tune. This is a fucking banger! He gives you everything of himself that's why. He is a free spirit expressing himself and it translates directly to me. Same when any genuinely talented people let everything else go and just do them. You get the most organic beautiful stuff

Hutchence and INXS were never underrated. Their concerts overseas in the Americas continent, England, and even in parts of Europe were highly appreciated and deeply respected in those regions, as well as back home here in Australia. They were known in the first half of the 1990s as one of the few best bands in the world to perform live. Even by some experts in music, INXS were being hailed as the best band to perform live at the time, after the release of both 'Kick' and 'X' albums. No one understands the word 'underrated', even tho it gets thrown around and mentioned alot. The band has sold many albums and soldout shows and achieved accolades in many music awards across the globe.

REMChicagoBoy - because he is WAY WAY above all of those. If they are in the stratosphere, MH is on Jupiter.

Amen,amen,and amen!!!

Ikr he is the best!!!

@@Sidneyyoungblood75 well said friend!

Dave Gahan

Abîmé.... Dommage. .Il manque 😁👍💕

Yes he does ooze sexuality .. Perfect description 💋💋💋

I know. It’s incredible how his charisma comes through the screen!

Hutch had it all. Lots were envious of him. Geldof, Gallagher posers, the taxi driver who ran Hutch over were all extremely envious of him. RIP Legendary Hutch.

He’s My Angel I saw him in a small club Toronto In the mid eighties Live 2 feet away Mercy Me 🔥⚡️💥🌟

IMO The best is Freddie Mercury

Agreed my friend

@@yusufgaridi9523 Well, all opinions are subjective. I know Freddie had a great voice, but he certainly cannot do what Michael was doing.

@@yusufgaridi9523Jim Morrison >>

Les deux avaient du talent, chacun dans leur style respectif. Mais pour une femme hétérosexuelle, Hutchence était un chanteur assez sensuel sur scène et dans ses clips

They come to Vegas every so often.

My favorite group of all time

Michael was considered as the person to portray Jim Morrison in The Doors movie. Eventually it went to Val Kilmer who did a fantastic job, but I have no doubt that MH would have been perfect. I swear to God he studied Morrison's moves and techniques because he sure did remind me of Morrison immediately.

@@underscore2824 You're misinterpreting what I'm trying to say. I'm not comparing his singing skills to Morrison because in that regard, they're definitely two different people and MH is the better of the two. But MH moves like Morrison and caresses the mic like JM did in so many ways and that doesn't take anything away from MH. Morrison was the best of his generation in moves and it's a flattering statement that MH moves like him.

Because he got Bob Geldof's wife , sure he would not allow it ever

Michael was the most sensual man I've ever seen on screen. I really don't know any other male singers had this kind of sensuality that's not even effeminate.......

Have you not seen Jim Morrison?😂

The voice, the presence, the moves, the mannerisms, the charisma, the total effect

taralish I did too!!!!

Me too!

Verissimo / unico michael

The song is amazing. INXS has a bunch of really good songs, but this is right up there with the top three or four in my opinion. The chorus is devastating, and the passion in his voice is off the charts. He doesn’t have the greatest range in the world that’s the only thing that probably keeps him from being mentioned with people like Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury, it’s a decent range and the chorus more than compensates for it. Just a great great song and I love how they snuck in that jib at oasis too. Oasis deserves every bit of it after that nasty trick they pulled on him.

MamaBoots1111 Wherever he got his style from. He definitely came across as original.

Anthony White He sure did! And, how many guys do we know who could make those pants look sexy?

I'm a guy I didn't much look much at pants but he was on one of the best albums ever made KICK. Wish he was still her.

Anthony White Opps.....sorry Anthony....I wish he was still here too.

Just a girly picture of pretty sunset for dude I understand. Yea they had a lot of fans. He's already considered a great for the short time he was here. Have you heard the singer for Vintage Trouble. I think HE"S the best newer singer around.

Абсолютно верно,эти ребята не разочаровывали и живым выступлением

Привет из России

Really moss these guys Michael was a Gem 💎 RIP Michael Gone but NEVER Forgotten 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Непревзойдённые,невероятно органичные и талантливые! Господь их соединил для нас и последующих поколений! Майкл супер рок-звезда ! На аллею Славы - лучшие из лучших! Думала лучше лед зеппелин нет ,но Майкл и парни сотворили невероятные шедевры для нас!❤ МАЙКЛ ,🙏🙏🙏♥️🌹

Gidday 4/7/24❤ one of my faves.

I agree with you 100 percent live baby live is coming to cinemas also mystify the movie is out but I have no idea when it is coming to the USA it is a shame that he died so young he was truly amazing

And damn sexy

@@ioanamarinmarin1589 for sure I think I'm actually drooling right now😍😍

@@kristinstid886 yeah me too haha

After jim lol

Someone who thinks what I think!

YOU R ... 100% SPOT ON! HE WAS MURDERED, HE IS THE PHENOM OF OUR GENERATION. BACKSTAGE JEALOUSY OUT OF PALERMO, USES ALL TO UPHOLD COLLUSION. LOOK AT: SPONSORS FROM LONDON, ITALY, DUBAI, JAPAN. IT'S THEIR NWO. THE LAST GREAT BATTLEFIELD IS ... THE MIND.

🙌

Better than Oasis. Lol

@@tonihoward2584What's funny about that?... Just because Oasis is or might be your favourite band⁉️.. 🤣🤣🤣 They just might have more followers in the UK. Inxs were definitely better than Oasis.

That is definitely him, this was the last big single before his suicide.

Zachery Carter Lol, Zachary, this was their comeback single for the new album they were working on when he committed suicide. Blimey, some people.

When did I say that? Everyone is equal.

You seem to have split personalities....

Zachery Carter Everybody is better than you Zach..no debate

same here

Dave Fieramosca wow

Michael Hutchence was truly a multitalented icon and indeed a force on his own to be dealt with and i mean that with much respect and admiration. I took it so hard when he chose to leave us and it is a little difficult to watch him in a video or hear him sing. It saddens'me very much that he felt such despair that he left us like he did. So tragic. Love you Michael and may you be at peace , my friend.

@@kristinapisciotta1982 Michael was murdered

Lucky you! I wish I had seen them all live.

Yes but Paula had her own agenda didn't she?@@MRayanna

Yup, i'd go for one too

So do I and I dont smoke.

More like a pregnancy test, LOL 😲😈😍

He oozed sex...in the most sensual easy going manner. I miss him! He didn't off himself intentionally. I believe it was autoerotic asphyxiation!

@@Charlie-cz3jh no suïcide. Watch the docu Mitstify. Paula Yates spraid the rumor of autoerotic asphyxiation, because she couldn't handle the trued. Michael had serious brain damage which he kept a secret. His personality was chanced because of that, he lost his taste and smell, he had serious mood swings and he was depressed, had a doctor who gave him alot of prozac without therapy and he used more and more drugs those last years of his life. He was in a destructive relation with a woman who loved him very deep, but she had a lot of problems of her own, a hard custody battle with her ex Bob Geldoff and she was afraid Michael woud leave her ( he had 2 other women beside her the months before his death, which she knew) and she was manipulatif. Michael was in despair these last hours, it's so so sad. The docu Mistify is made with love and tells the story of Michael. It was all very sad..and a great loss of a great and loving man and father.

;;;;;;;; FUCK...... OFF

He is up there with Jagger and morrison. Just a notch below and only because the music the doors and stones put out is just more and better. Music is subjective. Saying one is better than another is so difficult. INXS is a great band that released some great music. The doors and stones released iconic music in an iconic era. What hurts INXS, and nothing they can do about it, is they defined the 80's. The 80's is a decade not known for great music. Some will rip me for it...and the 80's had some great music, but compared to the late 60's or early 90's not so much.

Totally agree, still gives me chills when I watch INXS videos.

ambertjeblue : Mick! & Michael ! Do Not! Put Down 1 for the Other! I Am A Black Woman! From the 60s! " THEY BOTH DA SHIT"! STILL! 'N 2019 & BEYOND!;)PEACE

I totally agree. He was by far the best! His unique movements, his voice extremely elegant and sensual.

+Fayde Dnamron (Whitewraithe) We still wish for that!

Or wish for another night with him again ❤️ xxxxxx

+Fayde Dnamron (Whitewraithe) Could NOT have described 'the Michael Effect' better. Spot-on observation.

+Fayde Dnamron (Whitewraithe) No good in a fight. just pretty.

If that means what I think it does - it's not nice to speak ill of the dead. Michael wasn't a fighter he was a lover.

God no. Hard to believe this is 25 years old. Think what videos looked like in '72..25 years prior to this!

Best live act period. They brought the tightly polished studio sound directly to the stage.

Beaucoup de substance drogues et encore maintenant qui mene a l ' addition mortel dommage pour eux la vie est Paris tres triste

It was their best album.

@@davidjohnson1494 Yeah a tune like 'Everything' was great... Better than anything off Kick or X easily...

Sadly, Michael Hutchence didn't quite live up to Keith Richards' quote that inspired the title of this song.

Not for me... KIck did it for me. Michael so dark in this album. No doubt due to his head injury, so tragic..

But have to admit the rest of the guys in top form..

I was 11 when listen this song

Agree - shame about the trousers though.

NickyB 75 Wasn’t even a hit either

OMG. I was just thinking the same thing! When music was good. Still listening today.

I agree

I agree music today is crap

True.

ya and it got him into alot of trouble, and ultimately cost him his life..

Yep he definitely was

Yep 😜

If he lived in ancient Greece, he would have been deified, lol.

out of the three of them (he and his siblings) he definitely got the looks. . .

His name was Michael Hutchense.

@@janicesorochuk8403 actually its Hutchence!

real name from australia?

it is hutchense. I have the cassette tape.

read up.

they kept their unique sound through out their entire career, just as their incredible lyrics. If you listen closely to this lyric.......wasn´t there a cry for help ?? Something, a faint echoe of knowing the future ahead of it .....

🙏Great

Pas d'accord genre talent different

@Scott C 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

Lol here kitty kitty

My cat too.

Should’ve eaten the cat

Hello Kitty

Yes, for sure!

Haha!!! You got that right! 😂😉👍🔥

MH was never a gonna-bee. He was fantastic!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better!

NO comparison. MUCH better.

❤️

Went to every concert they did, love them all.

Have you ever heard Rival Sons ?

+82sweetheart you are nuts....

+fste de ~ my comment is a play on words with the title. Sometimes we all just need to get a little bit CrAzY.

I agree with you, sometimes we do need to get a little bit crazy. Michael Hutchence, 1 in a million.

randall841960 exactly😢Michael is irreplaceable💔miss him always💕

82sweetheart u r soooooo right. He was one precious beautiful sexy man😍 will always miss him💔💔
