Well when I hear the ad on the radio I only heard the end bit and hear "Arrested Development touring" and I went off thinking they were doing a stage show, then after that I heard it was just crappy INXS touring and they were some support band, so let down. INXS should have quit when Michael died.

Yes, Simple Minds will be a highlight, I saw them at the Convention Centre in Brisbane last May and they were incredibly good. Also saw INXS at the Riverstage in September and they were also incredibly good. Anyone who left the Riverstage that night and were not impressed went there wanting to be unimpressed and looking for reasons to "bag" JD Fortune.

If you choose not to listen to the "new" INXS then that's fine, but don't knock them for recruiting a new lead singer via the Rockstar INXS series. If you didn't bother to go and see them last year, then don't comment on their concert, sure, have an opinion on the Switch CD, but not their live gigs.

For me, the entire line up is a highlight and I personally can't wait.
 
And why should they hang up their gloves ? They obviously enjoy playing music and still have their fans, so good luck to them.

We could say that about The Stones, AC/DC, Crowded House and many others....hmm, that also could equate to an legendary Carlton player who hung on for a season too many and maybe a current Collingwood captain, maybe a former Hawthorn rover and Sydney full forward....but I am not about to get into mud throwing, but its a simple equation - dont like them - dont listen to them or watch them and let the ones who do enjoy them listen to them, or worship their footy heroes.

Please don't compare them to 2 of the greastest bands ever.

That would be silly.

And please re-read my post - not once did I compare them to anyone. Never said they were in the same league as anyone, not once - and it would be silly of you to even suggest that I did.

You said we could say that about Rolling Stones, AC/DC.

They are two of the greatest bands in the world, they don't need to quit.

They still have it.

That is right - I did mention RS and ACDC, but never suggested they should quit, but that wasn't what you stated. I suggested that I compared INXS to them, and like I said, I didn't compare anyone to anyone else.

I believe the Stones are well beyond their best days, as are AC/DC, but still making decent music. But then again, that is just my opinion, which makes it neither right nor wrong, as your opinions are neither right nor wrong - they are simply one person's thoughts, and that is what is so good about music and movies - everyone enjoys something different - just doesnt make it right or wrong.

AC/DC haven't made music for 7 years, which is just as well. I've heard they still have it as a touring act though. Anyway, I agree with your thoughts - INXS are a shadow of what they once were without Hutchence but if they want to continue playing, good on them.

Thanks for being so generous Brittany, welcome to the fold. Simple Minds have never disappointed me when I've seen them before.

Really looking forward to seeing both bands on Friday (just wish it wasn't at The Palais).

Does it feel like each band gets enough time ? Their allotted time has been cut back from what was originally advised when it was gunna be at the Myer Music Bowl.

Yeah it went to quick! I missed a few of Simple Minds songs though, not that I cared at the time, but I sure regretted it afterwoulds. INXS seemed to be on for like 5 minutes, I was in shock when Jason said it was the last song.
 
I went tonight and it was briliant

AD and Simple Minds had 1/2hr and INXS were on for nearly 2 1/2hrs

I was conserned that they couldnt reform and be good post MH but I was wrong - I would never compare singers, but to say JD Fortune isnt/wasnt that great would be too stupid for words............simply brillaint!
