"It's really become their theme song and that's really amazing. That's really special."
Pengilly discussed how the band had prepared themselves to perform in front of such astronomically large crowds early in their careers.
"We had a lot of experience in front of big crowds because the first thing we did when we went to America was open for other acts, big acts. We were performing on big stages in front of big crowds before people even knew who we were."
INXS' music continues to be popular today and Pengilly spoke on that
"I don't think any of really imagined that it would the case that some of the songs that are still played on radio today, were played 40 years ago -EUGH."
"It's a testament to the great songs that predominantly Andrew and Michael wrote. It was all very real, it wasn't fabricated. The songs were just good songs to start with. We're very fortunate."
Pengilly also shared a story about how their manager was offered 1 million dollars to go away and record a different album because Atlantic Records did not initially understand 'Kick'
