It's a shame that INXS can't do what Joy Division did after Ian Curtis died...go back out there, change your band name, break new ground musically, then play some old tunes 22 years later and do a half-decent job at it. It ain't Ian Curtis, but hey, it's all the original members still making music and stuff like "Transmission" still sounds great.
The problem is that INXS (whether you love them or hate them) sits on a healthy stack of songs that fans would probably still love to hear. I think Michael Hutchence is a fuck-up for killing himself, be it an accident or whatever, but the other guys totally have the right to carry on. I saw INXS a few times in the early 90's and they were a solid band, but I can't say that I'd go see them now...I'm just not sure I'd be interested enough and want to pay the money. If they played the 9:30 for $20, I would consider it, just out of curiosity more than anything. That being said, more power to them for wanting to work together and for trying to make it look as though they're giving their fans a bit of a chance to voice who the type of singer should be through the show.
By the way, it makes me laugh to think that Echo and the Bunnymen tried to carry on after Ian left the band. Didn't they have a female lead singer? At that point, carry on but change the band name.
