Inxs: The Official Inside Story of a Band on the Road

It is amazing, that this is the only book on one of the biggest bands in the world, and by its sole existence, it should have 10 stars! It is a good book, especially because it contains lots of really, really good pictures, most of them from from the 1992/3 X-tour. The text-parts tend to be not-so-interesting, beacause they mostly are concerned with general observations on the bands achievements, and not so much with the actual events. There are, however, lots of interesting quotes from interviews with the band members. One positive thing is that all the stupid, slimy stuff about Michael Hutchences personal life has been left out. The book is 100 percent about the band. On the down-side, I think the book is a bit too sterile. The band members appear like such a bunch of nice guys, and I am sure they are, but come on, after touring and touring and touring, you have got to be pissed about something! To me, INXS was the best band ever - both musically and in the signals they sent to their audience - so I may not be the best person to review this book. But I think it is definately worth reading, and I can only recommend it.
