Yes, INXS with out Michael... I am soo torn over this subject I love both 
bands!!  I hate it that oils fans speak soo ill of INXS. When I went  to see 
the Oils last year in Seattle, I was fortunate enough to meet them ( A LONG 
overdue THANK YOU to the Powderworkers that made it happen !!)  I had a 20 
minute each conversation with Martin and Jim about INXS/Sydney/Michael.  
They both said to me how glad they were to see INXS still going on after 
Michaels passing and how it was best for both bands not to do the Aussie 
Bite tour, because each band can very easily do a 2 hour set and  on the 
tour they would only get 40 minutes.. Not enought time at all to really show 
what they can do.  I also met Tim Farriss whem I was in Sydney, he is a very 
nice man, as well as talented musician.  I did not speak about the oils with 
him, but he was telling me how much he supports aussie music, getting out to 
international audiences. I do agree it was not the best of statements, but 
if we were all condemed over one statement, what does that say about  us as 
human beings??  I am sure everyone on this board has said something they 
wish they had not at some point in there lives.  Also, yeah Tim was upset 
when the tour was canceled cos he was alone in the states promoting the tour 
by him self. So I could see how he would be wounded.
Bye the way .... They have recorded new music with out Michael and are going 
to preview it on this upcoming tour, and going to try and get another record 
contract as well.  I do not think they should stop being INXS because 
Michael made a mistake, it is not like he is still alive and they kicked him 
out.  He died, I think Michael would want them to continue as INXS, they had 
just as much input in the band as he did for 23 years.  All of this has me 
stuck between a serious rock and a hard place.

Thank you  for hearing me out... I wait the flames... sadly..
