What a total disgrace for the band. I saw switch tour in Wollongong March 2007, which wasn't promoted properly and so was very empty. Couldn't even buy an album there. Totally woeful! Is this where it ends now in disgrace? What would I do if I were managing? I would get the band together and kick their arses into gear! Disharmony gets you nowhere and killing the brand INXS is just stupid. I would get the writers together and write a new single "Reversal of Fortune" with the addition of "Watch the World Argue" would be a good touch then donate the proceeds to the Victorian fire fund. I would then get together every scrap of music material and create a studio album to regain credibility. Yes there is the dripfeed from the old music but there needs to be a clean break with the old. JD Fortune? Well you could ask him to perform for the very last time or pull together and stop the nonsense. INXS does have a future in that it can become the first evolving band. This concept means you bring in a new generation of musicians and talent to renew itself totally. I would have spoken earlier but I thought this was obvious. In an internet interview I asked the band a question. What would you like INXS to be remembered for in 50 to 100 years time? The question did strike a chord. The answer I got was to reflect the 80s for the fun time it was. What if INXS could still reflect the fun times in 50 to 100 years? Graeme Here I will even start you off Reversal of Fortune =============== Things are not the same as they were before I know now that we all need to change Sometimes it is hard not the be the same But now I know I want something more. I feel a reversal of fortune - Always changing nothing stays the same I feel a reversal of fortune - I am brave ready for change I feel a reversal of fortune - Changing my views I can do anything! etc Last Edited By: graeme1967 02/22/09 6:21 PM.

Doesn't matter who's right or wrong - only matters that INXS and JD play the music they were meant to play. Listening to JD's new songs underscores how very talented he is, and a wonderful asset to INXS. His voice is more beautiful than I have ever heard it, and I certainly hope every member of the band went to his MySpace site and listened to the music and the lyrics. I like your idea of the band getting together for a concert to aid the stricken fire areas in OZ - it would send a powerful message, and it would bring them back together for any fence-mending that may need to be done.

I hate to think it's just a fantasy, but right now I think it might be. This has been a bad week. Except that we got to hear JD's new tunes. . . . "Pray for peace and pass the ammunition. . . breaking vows we made with no regret. . . ." --JD Fortune "Death in the Afternoon"

They will be held in Sydney and Melbourne simultaneously, with half of Sydney's profits also going to the flood victims up in QLD. The concert has the likes of Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, Split Enz, Paul Kelly, Wolfmother, Eskimo Joe... plus many more. Going back to the topic, I definatly agree. All this news during the weeks has kind of shattered my hopes of seeing the band live again.. It's hard to have hope when the singer believes he's been sacked and the band don't seem to know what's happened. JD was indeed a wonderful asset to INXS, not only is he talented, but he rejuvinated the band, gave them a certain energy they lost back in 1997..

My hubby and I have very dear friends who have been hit hard by the flooding there. They couldn't get any supplies in or mail out for well over a week. They live very close to the coastline and it's been quite scary for them. I don't think they will be asking for any help but a lot of their neighbours may need it. The line up of bands playing that benefit sound like a dream come true! I'm sure they will bring it tons of funds!
