Okay, once again... it's just INXS!!!
The band was DEAD. Dead, dead, dead!

INXS are no more dead than Queen is.

Actually INXS has all of its original members except 1.... so INXS is 83.3% intact. (6 original members with 1 missing)

"Queen" is currently 50% intact.... so Queen is really dead then??? right?

If they came back with say Jimmy Barnes
do you think anybody would even notice or care?

I've owned a music store for 8 years (over 200,000 artist in stock), I have a personal cd collection of over 8,000 cds, and I have no fucking clue who Jimmy Barnes is... so he must be awesome.

MH ended their careers

Freddie was 1,000 times the frontman that Michael was... so if he ended INXS... then Roger and Brian are dumbasses for even getting their instruments out... correct??

As that would mean Freddie's assumption is correct...he is/was Queen and all that, that implies.

Sharron G...

By "dead" I meant their careers. INXS had been on a steady decline if not free fall sales wise for years. Ask any high school or college-age kid and I bet they'd never heard of INXS before the show. BM even mentioned his daughter didn't know who they were. They're hardly on a level with a band like Queen, so to compare the two is like apples and oranges.

Second, I totally support INXS and Queen in moving on with their lives. To say that a band is disrespecting the memory of their bandmate by continuing on is like saying you can never remarry.

Third, Jimmy Barnes was the lead singer of an Australia band called Cold Chisel and did a song with INXS for the Lost Boys soundtrack called Good Times. It came out before Kick. I used him as example because of his past history with the band, but I could have said Terrance Trent D'Arby instead. There's only so many Paul Rodgers-types around. Of course owning a record store and an obvious music expert you probably already know that.

... oh did I mention that I love the show as well? I wouldn't be surprised if Eddie Van Halen is sitting on the coach thinking about Rockstar:Van Halen as we speak.

Eddie Van Halen is in a bit of a funk as is.
And DLR's too busy being a paramedic. :P

Still, Rockstar Van Halen would be pwnsome.
Moreso than INXS.

To be honest I don't really care about INXS...but who knows, maybe they think this is a good way of getting their publicity back and their name back in the mainstream again, but with all the reality TV out right now, it seems like it'd be pretty hard for anyone to care once these shows fade away...anyway, I was rooting for Ty and Mig, partly out of Queen loyalty...:)
