Watched the show once, wasn't bad and the kids looked liked they cared about one another.
Like it or not it's a very smart marketing scheme.
Alot of older bands could of done something like this
I'm sure the networks will come up with more stuff soon.

INXS actually has a chance of doing pretty well again.
If you follow what's going on in mainstream rock or
some pop. You will hear alot of 1980's stuff going on can you believe that the 80's were that long ago already? Lots of 80's influence The Killers, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinane actually there big hit has a piece of an INXS song in it. I think's it's "One Of My Kind" if that's the title. Also The Get Back Bugaloo" is
in that Franz song. Clever boyz!

Anyhow all the 80's air play now can only help them.
Just like Green Day except they are a bit more recent.
When you hear the Chilli Peppers now they sound very dated. Because alot of the bands today sound like Green Day, they were able to come right back and be successful. If the kids went the harder route and is was the Chilli Peppers you'd probably hear alot more advanced Bass playing, Guitar etc...
Green Day was simple and catchy and easy to learn.
The kids picked up there style and formatts instead.

Well that's the lesson for Pop Rock 101 for band ages
16-25 I wish INXS all the best I liked Tears For Fears
a little better though

Peace
