Just flipped on CBS and found the Rock Star: INXS reality show. It's actually pretty good. INXS, minus the deceased Michael Hutchence, is looking for a new lead singer to tour with them and put out a new CD.
The first show, which I missed, was last night, but I'm listening to the singers perform rock songs fronting a live band.
INXS just happened to be the first band I ever saw in concert. They opened, for of all bands, the Go-Go's at Kings Dominion. I don't remember much of the show except that it was loud. The two bands seemed an odd pairing, though. A hard-core Aussie rock band opening for a SoCal female pop group.
So, just because, I'm posting the lyrics to one of their more popular songs, and one I remember off the Kick album, Devil Inside:
Here comes the woman with the look in her eye
Raised on leather with flesh on my mind
Words as weapons, sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
Other half die, makes you wonder
But here comes the man with the look in his eye
Fed on nothing but full of pride
Look at them go, look at them kick
Makes you wonder how the other half live
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
The devil inside, the devil inside
Every single one of us, the devil inside
Here comes the world with the look in its eye
Future uncertain, but certainly slight
Look at the faces, listen to the bells
It's hard to believe we need a place called hell
A place called hell
Here comes the woman with the look in her eye
She's raised on leather with flesh on her mind
Words as weapons, sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how the other half die
By the way, after hearing the all of the singers, I'm quite impressed. While I watched American Idol and certainly there were some good performers there, there were, obviously, plenty of wretched ones too. This group, at least to me, has quite a bit of talent.
