Description

THE REAL STORY BEHIND INXS'S RISE TO FAME --
AND HOW THEY HELPED DEFINE THE MUSIC OF A GENERATION.

INXS broke new musical ground. This Australian band, made up of three brothers and their three best mates, took the world by storm, turning rock, pop, and funk into a cutting edge, danceable style, and selling more than thirty million albums worldwide. INXS: Story to Story tells the tale of their incredible journey, from playing the world's biggest concert venues to living a high life rivaling any in rock history, filled with sex, drugs, and supermodels. Now for the first time, they reveal everything they experienced in their more than two decades of making music -- the partying, the pressure, the wild times on the road, the heights and depths of rock-star life, and the bonds of brotherhood and friendship that not only got them through the tough times but made the fun times even more intense. They also talk about the sadness of watching their closest friend and collaborator, Michael Hutchence, slipping away from them, and share their thoughts about why he left them far too soon.

Fully authorized and reflecting the band's firsthand point of view, this is the real story behind the phenomenon that is INXS -- and the book every rock fan will need to own.

    A very in depth story of an amazing band. While at times the order of events as written could be some what confusing, this was a most interesting look into a band that was family in every sense of the word. After reading this you feel that you know and understand them as well as an outsider could ever possibly do. I recommend every one that has any interest in INXS at all should read this book. I don't read a lot of books, but I couldn't put it down.

    Great insight into the lives of the band in their endeavors. Most of which I never knew. I also believe that Michael's death was not intentional. I didn't even know him- but it's so obvious! People that think it was on purpose choose to ignore Michael's true nature- a very sexual, sensual being- embracing life in every way possible. Almost like he needed the intoxication of a thrill in his life to be a constant. He was an enigma. People like him don't come along very often, but when they do everyone knows and we all watch with bated breath an angel right here on earth.
