thatpatguy Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 so, I don't know how many of you heard, but INXS, along with Mark Burnett (producer of Survivor) are doing like an American Idol thing for find the next lead singer for INXS. What's cool is they are holding one of the auditions in Toronto, so.. I just wanted to pass on the info for anyone who has had dreams of fronting INXS (and I know that is a lot of you out there). The website is http://www.inxsrockstar.com/ good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Sanchez Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Wow! INXS was my favourite band when I was a kid. Michael Hutchence played a great charasmatic front man. Its a shame to see this, although I guess its getting time to put some food on the table. I'm sure the roaylty cheques are getting a little thinner.

MamaPink Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Last time I saw INXS they had this new front man who was a Michael Hutchence impersonator. My mom and I were a little disturbed by it actually. I hope the next guy adds his own flare to the band instead of just copying Hutchence.

Pablo Sanchez Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Yipes. I find that disturbing as well. I guess if you've already hit bottom, turning your band into american idol doesn't seem so bad. The last time I saw them was 1989 or 1990 at the civic centre in Ottawa. This was just after KICK and their downward spiral had probably begun but I thought they were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatpatguy Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 if INXS got Dio I'd be the biggest INXS fan ever!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I saw them around 1987/1988. I only went to the show because Ziggy Marley was opening up. I stayed for most of INXS, until Michael Hutchence left the stage, and came back without any pants on. The crowd went wild. I and my friend thought it was idiotic and left. (I don't think I want to be the next Michael Hutchence.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I cannot condone or tolerate any Ian Astbury abuse on this board. He is awesome and always will be. The Cult forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Ian Astbury..waka waka! During the INXS heyday I was actually a pretty big fan...this was my "look how queer that guy is" period because I was into them, Morrisey, Depeche Mode (even saw the light show at the Planetarium) and the Pet Shop Boys.

AdamH Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 The Cure is for homos. Sorry, that was uncalled for. I was too busy brooding over Depeche Mode. Trying to be really dark and mysterious with my big Jewish nose always making it unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
