- doublefelix, on 02/20/2009, -0/+10123 straight months touring with INXS and he can't afford to trade up to a van?
- Hppiefrk, on 02/20/2009, -0/+86I watched that whole season of Rockstar:INXS a few years ago, and if I remember correctly, this guy had been living in a car BEFORE the show, that was one of his "selling points" (from living in a car to rock star). So it seems to me this guy has underlying issues that he is continually living in his car.
- RunDiggMC, on 02/20/2009, -1/+58I refuse to call this band INXS. INXS was a great band, but it ended 12 years ago when Hutchence passed away.
- flamesoftheend, on 02/20/2009, -5/+58Guess they had to get rid of the extra douche baggage
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -2/+48Well hey, autosleeping beats autoerotic asphyxiation I guess.
As an Aussie I'd just like to add, ***** INXS. They are just more ***** we don't want back, like Fosters aka: dogs piss and Russel Crowe. - lhbaker, on 02/20/2009, -0/+38It's ironic that a guy named Fortune lives in his car.
- Gr00ver, on 02/20/2009, -0/+36..and live down by the river?
- cardyology, on 02/20/2009, -3/+34Lives in a car in Canada? Sounds like Ricky, the biggest ***** giraffe in the dumb dumb salad.
- WordsnCollision, on 02/20/2009, -1/+32From JD Fortune to just JD.
- awtripp, on 02/20/2009, -0/+31Cocaine's a helluva drug.
- Laura201, on 02/20/2009, -0/+22Another proof that reality shows are rather garbage packed nice.
- reddoggie, on 02/20/2009, -0/+20"Sorry JD, we don't need you tonight."
- lolsupk, on 02/20/2009, -1/+21But who doesn't like makin' movies, makin' songs and fightin' 'round the world?
INXS is pretty awful, though. - spepin, on 02/20/2009, -1/+20This is hilarious to me. I had the "lovely" opportunity to deal with INXS and especially buddy boy Fortune when they were in Ottawa playing a show. They were the biggest pieces of crap I think I've ever encountered. They insisted they were above city by-laws and pretty much laws themselves, smoking where they pleased and one of them was refusing to pay with anything less than $100 bills. I mean, I get it, you guys had a couple of hits and whatnot, but really... *****. Well deserved.
- Shakermaker, on 02/20/2009, -0/+17Poor ***** baby.
He had a shot at being the lead singer in an internationally renowned band (whether you like 'em or not INXS was pretty friggin' successful in their day, and could still pack arenas around the world).
So what does this ***** retard do? He goes and gets himself a rock star cocaine habit.
I don't blame INXS one bit for kicking the ***** out of the band. He wasted the best shot he had at success.
Good riddance to white trash. - StrangeFamous, on 02/20/2009, -1/+18You mean to imply that a "reality show" isn't the best way to find love or decide on a new lead singer?
SHOCKING! - jbob2000, on 02/20/2009, -0/+1610$ says they fired him to start another reality tv show.
- pilgrim3970, on 02/20/2009, -0/+13in otherwords, the contractual obligation they had with the show to keep him on ran out and they kicked him to the curb.
now the fact this guy was living ina car before and was back to doing it now says one thing - LOSER. Don't feel sorry for him in the least, dude needs to get a job. - fapfaptrain, on 02/20/2009, -0/+12Yeah. ET Canada doesn't have the *big* ***** no one cares about, but it still has a *lot* of ***** no one cares about.
- ryberg31, on 02/20/2009, -4/+14Rockstar was a slap in the face. Nobody could ever fill Michael Hutchence's shoes. INXS should be ashamed to try and replace their staple thorough a reality show.
- ATLien74, on 02/20/2009, -0/+10How can you capitalize all those other bands and NOT capitalize AC/DC?
- NCSUspoon, on 02/20/2009, -0/+8Does it also happened to be down by a river?
- andyb747, on 02/20/2009, -0/+8If I ended up homeless it would be on a beach in the Caribbean......
- macarbone, on 02/20/2009, -0/+8I believe he upgraded to a trailer
- smacksaw, on 02/20/2009, -0/+7I guess he didn't have enough Stars to get the Airplane Challenge. He should have stuck with Medium.
- zoziw, on 02/20/2009, -0/+7Gee, and I thought picking a replacement for Michael Hutchence through a cheesy reality show sounded like such a good idea.
- IAmTheGuy, on 02/20/2009, -2/+8Remember that time he had millions because he was in a world famous rock band? That's about the same time he waived his right to any sympathy.
- LokitheComplex, on 02/20/2009, -0/+6Judging by the world economy he's ahead of his time.
- shodanx, on 02/20/2009, -2/+8I was gonna say, hey the dude deserve a chance, he can crash at my place
but then I found out he was a douche so I added "The douche" to his list of nickname on wikipedia and marked this digg page as the source - Miamisun, on 02/20/2009, -1/+7Wow INXS lost a Fortune
- evilunleashed, on 02/20/2009, -2/+8They should have picked Marty Casey anyway. He is a far better musician and singer. I was happy when they didn't pick him though, because he was able to go do his own thing, and I liked the album Marty Casey and the Lovehammers put out better than the one INXS did after that show.
- AmazingSteve, on 02/20/2009, -1/+7These ***** guys think it'll last forever, hence they save no money. That little ***** Lukas form Rockstar Supernova is back to playing down in the Subway for change again. Another ***** moron who figured he'd made the big time and then the real rockstars went back to work.
- cheeze_ballz, on 02/20/2009, -0/+5i was hoping someone would mention marty -- i've been following his music ever since the show -- it's constantly quality stuff. I was also glad they didn't pick him.
- FearlessFreep, on 02/20/2009, -0/+5Ehhhtertainment Tonight
- garagepunk, on 08/05/2009, -1/+6what kind of car ?
- fmasterdragon, on 02/20/2009, -2/+7If I could dig you up a million times I would!
- DaLukeMan, on 02/20/2009, -1/+6God bless Trailer Park Boys
- unclefire, on 02/20/2009, -0/+5Ah but you're assuming they actually sold tickets to their shows.
Rockstar was a friggin' joke. The 2nd season with Tommy Lee et. al was an even bigger joke.
Its actually WORSE than american idol. At least AI is nobody's looking for fame. Rockstar had some big names that were clearly selling out for a TV spot. I mean really, what decent band would pick their replacement singer via such a show?
A bunch of contrived, self absorbed, no talent hacks. - Pxtl, on 02/20/2009, -0/+5Not only that, but all the hosts are super-creepy. They must have some freaky voice-coach or something, but there is just something weird about the way those bobble-heads talk. It's like they're exaggerating all their facial motions, so they end up looking like Wallace and Grommet characters.
It freaks me out. - petebot, on 02/20/2009, -1/+6I doubt he had any millions. They probably paid him a nominal fee, but it's not like he's collecting royalties or anything...
- petebot, on 02/20/2009, -1/+6It's a Bloomin' Onion!
- vincois, on 02/20/2009, -2/+6Well at least he didn't hang himself.
- arleym, on 02/20/2009, -2/+6I can't believe it... this guy has a car?!
- pilgrim3970, on 02/20/2009, -1/+5agreed, he was probably just treated like a salaried employee.
- PPCG4, on 02/20/2009, -3/+7I love you.
- TrevorBelmont, on 02/20/2009, -0/+4I have no idea what you're referencing but it doesn't matter. Dugg.
