If Jon stayed with the band i reckon they could have been still the all star band that they where with michael. Not with some guy who pretty much fucked up the band. The new INXS musci is shit too. the direction their going just isnt Classic INXS which sucks!
I would like to say that this is the guy that should have replaced Michael but that would be unjust as Michael is irreplaceable. But this is the guy that should have taken over from Michael. JD Fortune is a good singer but his voice to similar to Michael, in fact he comes across as a Hutchence imitator. Jon is his own man and sings the songs in his own way. Had Jon stayed he would have kick-started INXS into a new era perhaps similar to Brian Johnson taking over from Bon Scott in AC/DC.
Jon was their best chance at creating music again. They blew it because they only wanted to play old songs. Jon respected Michael and the old songs and but he also wanted them to create new material. Jon can't replace michael but then he never tried to, and he doesnt have to he is respected singer/song writer in his own right. They could have pooled noiseworks and INXS fan bases and created some good stuff IMO as well as pay homage to old songs. God Bless Michael.
My grandmother taught Jon in the beginning. I think they should have written songs with Jon.. He would still be with them and everything would be good. Oh well.. =(
I was a great fan of INXS in the 80's but Jon definitely sings their songs better! He has an amazing voice that surpasses anyone and everyone. INXS's greatest kiss!
INXS are an Aussie band. It was a heresy to get a Canadian in there in the first place. Jon Stevens shouldve stayed with them. At least hes from downunder
get JD back..jon is awsome but jd wrote some great songs with inxs i thought he was a great fit with that band..please tarent trent darby. God no inxs needs to sound like inxs.. get the kid back.jd.maybe now he ggrew up a bit
INXS should just Retire and Move on... As a Fan of INXS from the 80's... INXS is nothing with out Michael Hutchence (20+ years as Lead). Jon Stevens was the pick of the bunch. Going on a reality show to pick a front man, just plain "Tacky" !
It's a lovely tribute. But, they did have to move on. The reality is that Michael is dead and the band want to move on and still have a career. They still have things to say. Queen and ACDC were able to do it. INXS can too because they are stellar musicians.
One thing that stood out for me when Jon fronted them was the respect he paid Hutch, you can see it clearly here, JD didn't show the same respect, he hated comparisons and the Hutch tribute was gone, paying tribute to Michael on stage doesn't mean they're not moving on, it's just the right thing to do, maybe they see that now with the new Hutchence tribute album, I hope when they get a new singer they at least mention him, I saw them twice with JD and not a word, Hutch deserves alot more
To WouterJ: TTD only sang 4 songs for 1 night only in Sydney in 99 as a guest vocalist, only Jon and Jd have officially fronted them, I loved the Jon era, he's been going since about 79 and is a seasoned performer, his voice is powerful and unlike Jd could handle the higher register songs with ease, he is a dynamic performer himself, I don't think he tried to be Hutch, but I think they should get someone like TTD, someone nothing like Hutch, then they can really move on, there's only one Hutch
What I dug about Terence when he was in INXS was that he sang the songs his own way, he didn't try to be Hutchence, with Jon Stevens it's just the opposite, he tries too much to be Hutchence
No One can EVER replace "Hutch", but Jon did a fantastic job filling such big "shoes"! Best front INXS ever chose. And was hard right from the start to replace a lead after 20 years!I think that it is long over due....INXS should retire gracefully (They are becoming an embaressment!)
Alguien sabe si hay un registro de INXS, lo que sea del Concierto en Chile del 5 de Marzo de 1994 a las 21:30 hors. Lo unico que tengo de ese dia es la entrada.
John left because he was sick of doing covers, he wanted to write his own music but they didnt want to write at the time. so they came to an agreement to part ways.
Jon joined lib blue who seems to recycle old songs with acoustic Guitars & re-release call them new songs.
Got a few of his latest ummm (again) covers of songs posted lately on youtube dosn't seem to be putting new songs but plenty of covers on youtube (nothing new in music)
I think because of the marketing , the band maybe wanted to reborn INXS and when the reallity show to find the next Inxs singer borned . I Think they kicked JS . It´s only my theory .
awesome thanks...they are NO longer INXS in my mind...they died with Michael..Bless his soul!!.. But Jon Stevens did an AWESOME job out in front, the ONLY one that ever could....!
I had tears watching the video tribute to Michael. Thank you for posting.
