Bono & Michael Hutchence

[Alicesydney]

Hello everyone !
I think U2 is a great band!
Last week I bought Michael Hutchence solo album and beside the fact that the whole album is great , "Slide away" with Bono is really a wonderful piece! A few weeks ago I got my hands on Bono's biography and I have to say I was really touched by the way he reacted to the loss of his friend! I could say I even love him more for this! I did not know that "Stuck in a moment...." was in fact written in the loving memory of Mr. Hutchence!
Yes, as you might have guessed I love what Inxs used to be, but I also very much enjoy listening to U2 music!
By the way, love the new video! Larry is so sexy! Love & peace to all of you out there !

"Slide Away" is one of my favorite songs. It is so beautiful and the meaning of it is just so intense. Michael Hutchence was a geat singer and excellent performer. I was lucky enought to see INXS when Michael was a part of them, and I cherish the program I bought at that show, many years ago.
Bono and Michael had an intense friendship and you can tell how much Bono cared with Slide Away and Stuck. Both amazing songs!

I have that CD as well, and I love it. "Slide Away" always brings tears to my eyes though...

I have been unable to find that CD in any local stores. Looks like it's time to search amazon......

I've only know Slide Away really well from that album.. it is a painfully brilliant song though, especially when you know what happened.

And yes, Stuck is written for Michael.. which is why I hate the US video for it. it cheapens it in my mind.

Welcome to the board!

I so agree with you, Skeek!

I so agree with you, Skeek!

Well naturally, it's the objective truth!

The Michael Hutchence Solo album has to be one of my all-time favorite albums. The songs are just so funky, soulful, and the way music should be. I find it amazing how Bono never actually wrote his part in "Slide Away". According to his interview in the VH1's Behind the Music on Hutchence - Bono just sang the words outloud to himself and then one more time with feeling. Probably my favorite Bono vocal for all-time.
