I played bass with John from 1972 - 1975. We played support for AC/DC. We were just teenagers growing up. So sad but hell, he lived a life. Look at how many he touched."

It's true, his reach was far-reaching! Even the official Michael Hutchence facebook page posted an RIP due to his work with Max Q. Check out a slightly portly John banging the drums here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh0TV2ArBS8. The synth player (Ollie Olsen?? Not sure what role he played in Max Q) looks like he's wearing pyjamas too.

He looks pretty fucking bored doesn't he? I'm sure he did that stuff just to get paid.

Andrew McIntosh

There's a good, lengthy interview with him in a zine put out of Melbourne last century called "Year Zero", in which he talks about (among many other things) his time with Max Q. He was certainly bored with some of the attention it got him from teenagers at the time. Apparently the music industry apparachiks around Hutchinson couldn't understand what was going on. But he does mention some material from those sessions he thought was alright. Anyway, hope he got paid well for it.

In the interviews I've read with Murphy, I'm amazed just how busy he was. He seemed to have ten or so projects going at one time, and intentions of many more. He lived for his music.
Shikata ga nai.

Interesting, Andrew. I might sound dismissive of Max Q, but I remember a couple of those tracks fondly for what they were at the time.
