Product 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 very 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.

I got the paperback edition of this. This is an easy to read book on INXS - it doesn't go into too much depth, but it gives the reader just enough detail of the band's raucous, heady rise to fame. I appreciate the band's honesty about the drugs they took - but most of all, it provides some insight and closure to the mysterious events surrounding Michael Hutchence's decline after the band's meteoric rise. An accident that triggered a change in events that led to Hutchence's instability and emotional downfall. Not a great end to one of rock's greatest frontmen - Hutchence's death will remain a series of What ifs, what could have been, and so on, but this book aims to be a simple memoir and celebration of the life of the band.

Rated by buyers -
This is a must for any INXS fan, new or old. Great history of how the band started and all the trails and tribulations. Even for a non-INXS fan, it's a great count of a band starting from the beginning through their rise to success.

I looked for this book everywhere and no one had it. I'm so glad I was able to find it here. Really, I wish I had it a lot sooner.

This is a decent bio of the band. It is not a great book and my main ciriticism is that the text often drags and rambles its way thru the book. The editor shoold have structured this a little bit better ad a smoother read.
Photos shouls have been more conclusive as well.
