Thanks Landi, it is now officially on my Christmas list! I will say that I liked JD's version of Pretty Vegas on the show with Dave N. playing the guitar better than I do the INXS version. Dave's hot guitar playing just made it really rock.

last night my daughter Holly and I had the opportunity to see INXS play at the Oakland Paramount theater. Marty Casey and the Lovehammers opened the show, EXACTLY at 8pm. he was very personable with the audience, but the music was pretty heavy rock, not like what he did on Rockstar. also, we saw more of Marty than ever! LOL! he likes to wear those pants down low, and he took his shirt off, luckily he kept pulling those pants up! Marty ventured right out into the center aisle, and came up within 2 rows of us. he's cuter on TV than up close. INXS started their show at 9pm, and I must say that JD Fortune WAS the right pick for INXS. he has a great comraderie with the band that you would not normally expect with being them for such a short time. his voice was perfect on their old songs. INXS played all of the old favorites and lots of songs off of their new album "switch". i don't think the audience sat down except for one song, a slow ballad called "afterglow", which is one of my favorites from the new album. the crowd was closer to my age than holly's but she had a great time. she was able to get right up to the third row from the stage. as Holly says "he's gorgeous! he has the most amazing eyes!" he looked right at her, and of course she's in lala land! the audience sang along to all of their songs and was extremely high energy. ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS EVER! JD IS RIGHT FOR THEIR BAND!

I hadn't heard much about them in recent years until this show. I remember hearing them often on the radio in the late 80s.

JD wasn't trying to be michael hutchence. he was just himself. very much like he was on the finale of rockstar:INXS and playing with the band. he has a similar tone to his voice and it works with INXS' catalog of songs. they opened with "suicide blonde" and it WAS AWESOME! it was worth the amount of money i paid for the tickets. and i would definitely go see them again!

landi, thanks for the review and photos. sounds like a really fun time. speaking of the show, remember Jordis Unga? the young, pretty girl w/dreadlocks? i think she made it to final 4 (?) i saw her last night. i was getting my mail and she came out of the elevator. she had one piece of luggage, so she may have been leaving after a short stay.

Landi, I am soo jealous! Looks like you had great seats! I agree that JD is a perfect fit for the band. The show kinda made him out to be the bad guy but we were always rooting for him - He just seemed to want it the most.

yep, he sang trees. and he sang the rock version of it. it was good. let's just say his music is NOT my music. holly liked it though. and i was glad to know at least one song he sang. i liked the slow version of trees that he sang on the show.

Holy Toledo...If this is true, I know many people will not be happy, but I am ecstatic. So who is it? Tommy or Van Halen? hmmmmmm "TOMMY LEE Is The Next 'Rock Star' - Mar. 10, 2006 According to MelodicRock.com, MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee has been in negotiations with the producers of the "Rock Star" show for the last few weeks to take on a star role in the revamped show format. The house band will be retained, with Tommy Lee taking the place of INXS searching for his next "Rock Star" lead vocalist." News Link
