I was lucky enough to see Divinyls many times in venues all over Australia. They were not only a proper rock band, but Chrissy had such an aura about her, very sexual, a bit scary, but also vulnerable. She could hold a mainly male audience of pissed , aggressive Aussie rock punters in the palm of her hand and control them like a lion tamer. One of a kind , greatly missed. RIP Chrissy

Probably one of the most influencial in the 90's ,period. Because Courtney Love admitted that how she behaved, and dressed on stage, and the whole 'kinderwhore' look was directly inspired by Chrissie, so therefore;with Courtney being THE grunge queen, and THE girl in alternative and rock during that era, it makes Chrissie the definitive influence. Even Kylie Minogue, just looking at her; took alot from Chrissie as far as how she packed on 10,0000 pounds of makeup.

All of ‘91 was off the chain.

I was lucky enough to see the Divinyls live in a small pub called the Picadilly Hotel Kings Cross Sydney in the early 80s.They started playing there on a Wednesday night, and as they became more popular, they progressed to Thursdays and then eventually Friday nights. If we got to the pub early enough we would head straight for a table at the foot of the stage where we would base ourselves waiting for the band. Back then you could buy a roast meal and a beer for about $10 and listen to one of the best bands Australia had produced at the time. After 18 months or so we turned up one Friday night and took our regular position the table but the band never showed. They had out grown that small pub and move on to bigger and better things. Great times and great memories.

Back in the day rock bands started out playing in Pubs (Public Bars in Hotels) and club auditoriums. All of it was live. You were good live, or you remained a support act. As a result the cream rose to the top, long before any record deal or TV appearances. We were blessed from the late 60's to late 80's. Live music just went downhill from there and now it's straight to video and stadiums.

Beside the fact they were a great band live, there will never be anybody like her on a stage again. She had it all, prescence, vocal ability, sexuality, looks, everything! I was head over heels with her! Shame she's no longer with us...

So sad ms and breast cancer

Every time I see Chrissy, I shed tears. I didn't know Chrissy, but we met and spoke for a little bit backstage at the 1991 MTV music award show at the Universal Amphitheater. My band was recently dropped from our label and I told her, jokingly, that our release from the label was her band's fault...It was a joke, but also partially true. Divinyls were pushing boundaries and doing things that were unheard of in the '90s so as a result, we were dropped for being too vanilla and not taking enough risks. Still, I was very happy to meet her. I have met many great and legendary musicians, and I never went crazy or nuts over celebrity. However, Chrissy was one of the few celebrities that made me feel like a gushy teenager! She was a lovely person and her presence was like a giant shadow looming everyone and everything! Chrissy Amphlett was simply a force of nature! I am not religious, nor do I believe in god, but part of me hopes that the life we're currently in, is just one part, of many other parts...Parts that will allow us to see the people we love once we're done here!

Live early versions are what you should watch of this song and others to get a true understanding of how good she was.

Saw them in Detroit in the mid-80's, when they were harder and faster - she was crawling on all fours and smearing makeup handed up to her from audience members purses all over her face - crazy, crazy, hot mess of a girl - just what you want fronting a band - I absolutely loved their first LP "Desperate" - she burned bright-white hot, and we lost her too quickly...
