616.0. "Max Who?" by FSEDU::MEGAN () Tue Feb 27 1990 07:49

    The album is not so hot, it came out about October here (ie Australia)
    so I rushed to buy it, but I was disappointed.
    
    "Way of the World" was brilliant, I really thought the album would
    be on a similar line, but it went wrong somewhere.
    
    "Sometimes" did not get much airplay here, "Way of the World" did
    Ok but didn't do as well as I thought. To date I haven't heard any
    more "cuts" from the album.
    
     Maybe Kylie does have an influence on him?

616.1Street cred down the drainSHAPES::BROWNMWe're wasting the planetTue Feb 27 1990 12:335
    I can't believe that Michael Hutchence would go out with Kylie
    My-no-gy.  It just feaks me out!

616.2What Street CredSUBURB::DODDINGTONCTue Feb 27 1990 15:5115
    All I can say is Micheal Hutchence must be on some heavy shit to
    be able to find Kylie Minogue attractive.
    
    But enough of that, has anyone heard the 3RD BASE first track on
    their album, called "Sons of 3RD Base".  It's a real funky number that gets
    the thumbs up from me.  I'm off to see them in Brigton on the 22nd
    March so I shaal let you know how good they are.
    
    Also, is it true that the Stone Roses have a new album out in March
    ?  If it is, does anyone know what it is going to be called.
    
    Cheers

616.3Gonna have a ......YUPPY::OHAGANBWATCHMENTue Feb 27 1990 16:488
    Going off on a tangent as usual... but this one is related to Mr
    Hutchence. I remember from my days in Oz a joint venture by INXS
    and Jimmy Barnes called "Good Times" ( an old Easybeats song? ).
    Bloody scorcher n'all. I don't think it was released in the U.K.
    but it made the NO.1 spot in Aussie. Anybody remember it?. How 
    can I get hold of this in the U.K.?

616.4Should there be an Ozzie Music conf??FSEDU::MEGANWed Feb 28 1990 00:3217
    "Good Times" is still played on the radio alot here, Jimmy Barnes
    and Michael Hutchence have such a big following, so the radio stations
    keep giving it air play. I'm surprised it didn't chart anywhere
    else, as it is a goooood song.
    
    Maybe Hutchence and Minogue are going to do a series (maybe a movie,
    he can act did you see "Dogs In Space?), this might be the latest 
    marketing ploy by her PR machine (like the days of Jason Donovan).
    
    Still I did admire Mr Hutchence at one time, he looks like he has
    sold out his personal life, lets hope he doesn't do the same to
    his music. 
    
    Max Q still gives some hope, where's the next INXS album??
               
    PS My original note was to be a reply to an earlier note on Max Q,
    I hit the wrong key.
616.5SNOC01::TOMACvery sick and ill today Wed Feb 28 1990 01:049
    
    "Sometimes" was given heaps of air-play on JJJ (national-mostly-
    indie-type-station) but failed to impress i think.
    
    INXS are currently in the studios recording their next album (so far 
    untitled) after a year off for all the band members doing their own 
    stuff (having babies etc.). Stay tuned....
    
    
616.6I need help !!VANDAL::DAVEYWed Feb 28 1990 18:1014
    
    
    Sometime ago, when talking about this very topic, I was told that Rush
    had become involved in a 'merger' project with another band (the name
    eludes me) and that they were to be called MAX ......  Its killing me
    that I cannot remember the name of this partnership...it was two words
    the first being Max & sounded like a mans name (ie Max Smith). Also it 
    may have only been Geddy Lee not Rush in total !!
    
    Help!!

616.7BattlescarPARITY::RANDERSONThu Mar 01 1990 16:3112
    MAX WEBSTER
    
    
    	Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson contributed to a song called
    "Battlescar" on one of Canadian group Max Webster's albums.  I don't
    remember the name of the album offhand but I could check.  Max Webster
    was fronted by Kim Mitchell who has had limited success in the US with
    singles "Patio Lanterns" and "Might as well go for a soda."
