Max Q - Michael Hutchence - Sometimes

[dazincalculation]

Ollie Olsen brought out something special in Michael in this track and the whole Max Q album.

[MKHDiehard]

Piss poor management was why Mikie's solo stuff went in the shitter. He should have give his manager the boot early on - Unfortuantely, he trusted all the wrong people to take care of his "business".  RIP - you got fucked buddy!! You deserved so much more in life but everyone rode you like a donkey and took a piece of you!!

[PeterBucknell]

I remember this shoot. Michael was a lovely guy, very nice to us classical musicians who were there to shoot the final sequence.

He just seemed like an ordinary guy shaking hands with someone new.

I actually played at his 40th birthday when he was dating Helena Christiansen who was drop dead gorgeous. I caught her pinching Michael on the ass, and she just winked at me and smiled.

RIP Michael , you rock

[shopofcrafts]

@PeterBucknell Thanks Pete

[mariacallus]

@PeterBucknell thanks for posting

[iceorgmusic]

@PeterBucknell Thankyou

[Iiva69]

@PeterBucknell I think you mean his 30th birthday (?) seeing he died at the age of 37.

[PeterBucknell]

@Iiva69 yes, you are right must be 30th

[dickstrangelove]

@PeterBucknell How could you play at his 40th birthday party? He was 37 when he died.

[trex9876]

@PeterBucknell actually played at his 40th birthday when he was dating Helena Christiansen who was drop dead gorgeous. I caught her pinching Michael on the ass, and she just winked at me and smiled."

Michael died @ age 37 and was with Paula at the time.

[byronbee]

@PeterBucknell Do you mean his 30th? He didn't make it to 40...

[kupskowproszku3]

@PeterBucknell um, i think he died when he was 37

[Squippyearl]

@kupskowproszku3 You're correct. He was born in 1960 and passed in 1997.

[Squippyearl]

@PeterBucknell He was born in 1960 and died in 1997. How does that add up to 40?

[bucketheaduk]

happy new year hutch and thanks for the gifts you gave us

[Melminn5]

MH had a severe head injury a few years before his death. He was in a 2 week coma.When he died he was living with permanent brain damage. He had no sense of smell or taste.He had major mood swings, pain,and loss on sensation. Which could have led him to do the sex game, or he was so depressed that it was suicide. The pills he was on, they now know you don't give to someone with a permanent head injury. Either way he was a great guy and I don't feel his death was any fault of his own. RIP Hutch.

[unismodger]

@Melminn5 . Yep. I still curse that cabby that hit him and caused those sensory problems and depression in this great frontman. Hope that cabby has nightmares but probably doesn't even know he was instrumental in the demise of the greatest frontman of the last 30 yrs (RIP for ther last 13) .

[santanocci]

@Melminn5 of course it had nothing to do with his ongoing heroin addiction

[santanocci]

@Melminn5 of course it had nothing to do with his ongoing heroin addiction. and fuck it blame the cab driver, why not, you fuckwit

[cousiwa09]

TODAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2010 MARKS THE 13TH ANNIVERSARY OF MICHAELS PASSING. GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL AND THANKS FOR YOUR VAST CONTRIBUTION TO AUSTRALIAN MUSIC. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

[asteriscoazul2]

grandisima cancion ; este disco es brillante !!!!!

[MrDiscoDavo]

Great song, still stands up great today..The max Q album was certainly under rated. Monday night by satellite was another standout track..Michaels vocals are like velvet. Miss his talent...Check him out in the Film "Dogs in space"....

[nothingiseverenough]

i always loved max q reminds me of my twentys i miss em

rip michael luv you

[MrDaveLogan]

The drummer at 1:22, the look on his face is like "I've got tickets to the footy, can we get this video over the done with so I can fucken leave?"

[TheLimited0]

This is not the same "Sometimes" that's on the album, this one sounds a bit faster paced?

Anyone Know where I can find this mix of the song?

[wild4inxs]

Yeah, I like it. It sounds like a breath of fresh air, he was so boxed in with INXS, I like it but I feel a little guilty too. I'm still glad that we have this.

[anthonynewsome]

it's a great album, Way of the World should have been a massive hit also, MH's death was such a tragic loss, peace

[biggdogg9911]

yeah boys and girls yo are all right, fantastic album but you must remember this is when Michael H was having a hiatus from INXS(solo) which was not looked upon very positively by his label......I even heard at the time he put up some of his own money to record the originals. Way of The World is one of the great political songs of the time, pity it only got exposure inOZ

[Iconoclastic8]

Good stuff here...Max Q should have had greater success...

[kandeece1]

To this day max q are genius. something special about this track.

[hmsmedia2005]

Max Q is an awesome CD! Great music!!

[Kareltenis82]

How similar is this video to Suicide Blonde...it's for sure the same producer!!

[denetc]

i agree,pretty sure this project came out right before the X album....

[Kareltenis82]

Yeah...X came out in 1990!! Max Q is actually a pretty good album. Didn't like it at first, but once you listen to it a few times, you hear the various good ideas!!

[pawnsacrifice1]

this is a cracking track...RIP Michael

[ady24]

why wasn't this album huge damn it!

[gorazde]

Fantastic!

[XadrikXu]

Sometimes I can't beleive that Max Q wasn't a Megaband :(

[Matdildi]

yes he is nice but I prefer him with longer hair touching shoulders!!!!!! :D

[ayla2221]

охрюнительно.обожаю хатчинса!!!!!

[rydan2002]

[qtkitty4u]

[MarkMargo]

[oscarcampos]

Never again a Hutchence

[friendlyovertones]

Gritty Aussie Rock and Fantastique!

[tattooedinxsman]

good song my hero

[bsidesbaby]

I must have watched/listened to this about 20x in the last week. It's just all kinds of awesome.

[dandartabor]

Wooooooow. In black and white Mike looks exactly like Mick Jagger

[taborszernagy]

especially his moves!

[madlionau]

I've got the dance mix EP of this song ... it truly is great dance song .. mix of 80s and 60 psychedlia

[kel275]

[snipeu10]

[Niks1973]

Top tune indeed!!

[videan1]

[lizziannimal]

Really? U on the Cello? Cool!! I actually bought that album (*tape*) when it first came out cuz I thought MH was soo hot- saw them w/ Steel Pulse...so live. Keep In Touch, Videan.

XoXO

[aristagirl]

[tamara2020]

another forgotten hit thanks for the memories!

[byronbee]

This was one of the most important albums of my childhood! love it love it! x

[michael7677]

i havent seen this for years...thank you thank you...love you michael xxxxxx kym

[digthedreads]

A Great track, thanks for posting this.

[lalitzmeeeeee]

I firmly believe that if Micheal had been allowed to have this record break out like it should have instead of being squelched by the INXS factory Micheal would be alive today. They are still proving their fear that without Micheal THEY ARE NOTHING!!!!

[Traxtafari]

@lalitzmeeeeee

I couldn't agree more.

[Zeeh1]

@lalitzmeeeeee thats quite a bullshit... everyone was shocked over his death... they are all missing him... like we fans do!!!

[ftvteacher]

wow - casjumbo - cool comment, dogs was my fav film at the time and ollie is certainly one of australia's greatest electronic musos of all time..

[ady24]

MAX Q- very under-rated album.

[lasha1974]

I was at Ulitmo Tafe in 1991 and found the cover in the stack at Grace Bros Broadway, but the dude behind the counter "could'nt find the cd"-i'm still filthy about it to this day!

[lasha1974]

Ultimo TAFE, yes i've had a few

[Shortstopabby]

i am so in love with michael hutchence...i wish i would have discovered him while he was alive....

[casjumbo]

INXS were undeniably a great band, but Hutchence's work with Ollie Olsen was the highlight of his career (including the Dogs in Space movie that inspired this collaboration in the first place).

Hopefully one day SOON, Ollie will finalise the Dogs DVD re-release and it will be out there to a whole new legion of fans...

[georgetheseventh]

I worked on this clip and was told that INXS's record company did everything in their power to stop this clip getting world wide radio play. Micheal Hutchence invested over a million dollars in this project, only to have his dream of breaking away from INXS destroyed.

[imogenbucks]

great song,we miss you michael rest in peace

[wolsinghambloke]

love it

[beermonsterdad]

really good song

[herdygerdy3]

superb!

[potheadcrazy]

great song and vid

[Sydroo1969]

I wish Max Q would've got more recognition. I bought the CD it when it came out. It is great. Great vocals by the man himself "Michael."

[allthevoices]

your clothes of michael so cool the song and the video very very cool the video is like suicide blonde

[msevemiller]

I noticed some of his moves were similar to suicide blonde also, but it's a great video in its own right.

[MisterBlack]

Max Q was as much Ollie Olsen as it was Mike.

This song was originally written for seminal Melbourne band The Sacred Cowboys by Ollie a few years prior to Max Q covering it.

[marceloinxs]

I'm a fan of Michael and INXS... but now I know where the Suicide Blonde video came from!!! :S

[ormy28]

Blimey! This is the Suicide Blonde video a year earlier!

[HUTCHINXS]

I cry everytime I see this video.I lost,a person that gave me joy w/ his talent everyday.I miss Michael vey,

much!!

[inxsed2]

I haven't seen this since it came out in 1989 and I still love it. It was weird then to see Michael with a side project but I was glad it never took off. It was also weird then that his hair was so short...this was right after the Need You Tonite days. He had to cut all his hair off for his movie Frankenstein Unbound and the Max Q video was released before the movie...the hair was very shocking. What a very talented person Michael was....wow

[blackrocker1]

It wasn't until recently that I finally got to see some Max Q videos. Too bad the project didn't last. They're soulful and funky in Australia as well as in here in the States. I wonder if the Max Q album will be reissued. I certainly hope so.

[HuTcHiZaLeGeNd]

I LOVE IT!

[kiwitwo]

Sometimes, it must be getting older, I recall this, Sometimes

[kristiaaaan]

Yoinks! Thank you for posting this.

I've only ever seen this video once nearly 20 years ago.

[mickony]

What a waste of talent!!! Lost his life via suicide or sexual misadventure??? Either way the world lost a fantasic singer, Paula lost a lover and Tiger lost her daddy... RIP Michael... you were unique...INXS should have died with you... You were the best...xxx

[duran2inxs]

He looks so gorgeous! :)

[okbye9]

He's so young! Sex God in training ;)

[pucik]

Now I´m totally speechless, I´ve never seen this video before...It´s amazing, I love it.

[citylights07]

Now that's what I call rare. I've never seen him as Max Q. Thanks!

[U2fan2006]

PERRFECT !
