As we wrap up our trilogy of chats with Garry Gary Beers, we are pleased to delve into the latter recording career, particularly the album Switch and we ask more about his book—plus INXS’ prospects of making the Rock Hall of Fame despite missing out on the 2023 induction ballot. I can smell a rant coming!!!!!
 
Furthermore, we have adjusted our podcast format to ensure a better flow of content, and trust you will like the changes. With an exciting news update, we also foreshadow the next album review for episode 139, so pay attention until the end.

Epi 137: Garry Gary Beers Interview Part 2

This week we attempted to program an Artificial Intelligence to write in Haydn’s style & voice. LOL. Here is what the AI came up with:
 
“G’day mates, it’s your favorite podcast host, and we’ve got a doozy of an episode for you today. We have Garry Gary Beers, the bassist for the legendary band INXS, back in the studio for another yarn!
 
This legend has seen it all, from the Outback to the biggest stages in the world. He’s got tales to tell, and we’re here to listen. We’ll be talkin’ about his journey from playin’ in pubs in Australia to rockin’ the world with INXS. We’ll hear about the good times and the challenges, the hit songs, and the road trips. And of course, we’ll be hearin’ about his mates in the band and what it was like to be a part of one of the biggest musical acts of all time.
 
So grab a cold one, sit back, and enjoy the yarns from one of the true legends of rock and roll. It's gonna be a ripper of a time, I promise ya that.”
 
Love and peace ✌️ HaydnBot

Epi 136: Garry Gary Beers Interview Part 1

It’s with great pleasure that INXS Access All Areas welcomes to the podcast founding bass player and inimitable groove merchant Garry Gary Beers. Based in Los Angeles for over a decade, Garry formed a tour-de-force sound, particularly with Jon Farriss.
 
Part One dives deep into the early days when he met other future band partners, his many musical influences and non-INXS activities, such as setting up the legendary Mangrove Studios for other burgeoning artists like Silverchair to come and record at.
 
Still deeply passionate about his craft, Garry shares some fascinating insights into his new bass guitar design, construction, and marketing of this unique guitar business. Forever frank, open, and giving, we hope you enjoy this rare episode where we pick the brains of a key cog in the INXS machine.
 
Love and Peace ✌️
Haydn

Epi 135: Michael Hutchence vs Chris Murphy

As we commemorate the two-year anniversary of INXS Manager Chris Murphy’s passing we simultaneously pay homage to what would have been Michael Hutchence’s 63rd birthday with a deep dive into their professional but often volatile relationship.
 
In 1995 Chris severed ties after 15 years of committed and trailblazing stewardship of INXS precipitated by what seemed an untenable relationship with Michael.  
 
Both the alpha male type bulls in a paddock, their collective ambitions pushed INXS to the top of world music however creatively they often clashed particularly after INXS’ game-changing performance of the KICK album.
 
 So today we examine the relationship of two dearly departed icons that date wise, cross-over this January 2023.
 
Love and Peace ✌️

A big Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year from both me and Haydn and yes we're on a break and we will be back in the New year with more amazing guest interviews and much more.
 
This episode was fun to make with our Hounable Patron and friend Nick Egan, music video and creative producer to many including; Duran Duran, Oasis, and INXS.
He takes us through his top 10 INXS hits that have personal meanings to him and tells us more about his time with Michael Hutchence.
 
Our guest interview this week is with Danny Saber and wow we get to hear insights into how he got to work with Michael and how it also opened other doors for him in the music industry. Michael trusted Danny and we thrust that Danny will be able to soon let us hear the music that Michael wanted us to hear. Ahem!

Epi 132: Michael Hutchence’s Recording Friends

As we embark on 1995 in our INXS career anthology, Michael Hutchence started to stretch himself musically, teaming up with icon Gang of Four co-founder Andy Gill and Tim Simeon to assist in writing and recording his first pure solo album—an album we shall do a deep dive on in future episodes.
 
However, it served to highlight how respected and liked Michael was within the music industry despite the negative comments by a certain Mancunian songwriter (who shall remain nameless) around this time.
 
With artists such as Joe Strummer, Bernard Fowler, and famed drummer Kenny Aronoff lending their efforts to the recordings, it inspired me to look back and delve into the many famous artists that were inspired to work with both Michael and INXS: in the studio, on stage, and on film.
 
Love and peace ✌️

Epi 131: Part 1: INXS Compilation Albums 1982-1994

It’s often said that greatest hits albums are a culmination of a band’s body of work during the key parts of its career, and with INXS we have contrasting motives behind these releases being discussed today.
 
1982’s INXSIVE: The Deluxe Years was a helpful entrée for new fans wanting a consolidated understanding of the band’s sophomore work, albeit a cash grab from its old label.
 
1994’s The Greatest Hits, a more reflective package that covered INXS’ start, their climb, and the starring ascent to worldwide domination with different track listings released in different markets, namely Australia, USA, Japan, Brazil, and the UK.
 
With bonus tracks on all of these releases, many ardent fans across the globe welcomed these releases into their music collections, whilst passing fans into the band’s singles found these packages a shortcut to sonic joy.
 
So, as we approach the closing of 2022, join us at INXS Access All Areas as we retrospectively enjoy this first installment that is “The Compilations”! e taken to this event through our heartfelt recounting of this wonderful experience.
 
Love and peace ✌️
