"Anytime you want to find me, I don't have a telephone" - one of the great lyrics written by the incredible Don Walker. More relevant than ever today!!
Agreed. There is another in “Standing on the Outside”: When I go walkin' down Bluewater Bay I surface in the city at the end of the day Woh-oh, I got a bad case of the bends Don Walker is a genius… brilliant lyrics
This is what we have tried tell the haters. Listen to the pure Jimmy voice when was young. How can anyone say the man can't sing. If only I couldn't sing like that. ❤️🎼🎵👍😁 Good to see Jimmy up and walking.
And why I prefer all of his music up until the last 5-10 when he seems to feel that he has to make fake growls of full noise in every song he sings, even if it was a xmas carol. Actually, I would like to hear some Barnsey Xmas carols, lol. But some songs, including a lot of the old Chisel songs need to be sung cleanly.
@@wren1960 I just listened to the first half. I like it, and it proves the point I was trying to make. He has such a great voice and doesn't have to throw in a fake screamy gravel for no reason.
@@stevegraham3817 correct, he has so many layers to his voice. But I also love the hard rocking Jimmy. I'll take it all. Cheers and have a safe and merry Christmas.
@@wren1960 I love the Working Class Man and Freight Train Heart voice, not the fake one the cricket and football commentators put on to sound tough, or when they pretend to be excited when someone runs. Either way, Barnsey is still a legend. Thank you, and a Safe and Merry Xmas to you too.
The excellence of Don Walker's songwriting shines through yet again in this Cold Chisel classic. I've heard it hundreds (thousands?) of times over the years but never get sick of it.
COUNTDOWN was an Australian music show running from the mid 70's to the late 80's that highlighted and introduced both local and overseas musical artists and groups. A lot of foreign artists appeared on this live show ( though there was a lot of miming unless a particular act insisted on performing live) some established, some up and coming. Many built their reputation through Countdown's live and TV viewers hearing them and boosting their reputations back home through buying their records in Oz and requesting radio airplay, raising their record sales overall numbers. Madonna and ABBA were two favourites that were struggling with sales back in their homelands who admit Countdown audiences and Molly saved them.. It was hilarious to watch sometimes because the live audiences consisted mostly of teenybopper 12 yr olds and sometimes their even younger siblings. Iggy Pop performed while drugged out of his head on one of his visits and didn't even realise he was raunching it up in front of mostly 12 yr olds. Some stricter guidelines were put on performers after that shocker. So many famous, and later famous, foreign artists knew about the great variety of the hidden Oz talent over those decades and some were even , just quietly, influenced by it. Some artists like Mark Knopfler lived here or escaped to here as Michael Jackson used to ( one of his brothers lived in Perth for some years) from time to time. Many top world famous bands and performers were interviewed by Ian (Molly) Meldrum, the host and genius engine behind the show and often stayed at his place for good relaxing and wild ( apparently) times. So many are grateful to Molly around the world, but especially here at home. Some though, did get into fist fights with him. It was such a real life raw show, very unlike the slick production of MTV. Guests felt relaxed and said whatever came to them when interviewed. Lots of laughter lots of clangers too. That brilliant show was a staple of so many years of every Aussie's toddlerhood to adulthood and the talented performances that came out of it kept us going well into middle and older age with such classics being played in our lives over and over. I remember being 11 and my little 2 year old neighbour rushing to the TV everytime Russell Morris appeared. She would be fangirling and yelling out " Look it's Wussell Mowis !" and be joyously dancing inbetween kissing his close ups. Plenty of Countdown and Molly Meldrum interview clips on you tube but the quality can be fairly ragged. I'd also like to mention that (in my opinion) many of the Oz artists were influenced by the long enduring TV and live performances of ' Brian May and the ABC Showband ' while growing up. That is why there is so much brass and other orchestral musical influence in a few or more Aussie bands. Wishing Molly the best of health BTW.
I regularly watched Countdown and thank goodness for all of the music that I was introduced to via this show, and later via Rage, MTV and in my later years via Rockwiz.
Molly is sometimes classed as a joke and not taken seriously but he was a driving force in the Australian music industry and many artists and bands wouldn’t be where they are today without his influence. Long live King Molly.
You don’t play 6 nights a week in Aussie pubs in the 70s and 80s and come out of it pure as driven snow. Jimmy survived and adapted and we love him all the more for it. Live - cold chisel we’re something else.
Phil Small's bass lines are criminally underrated. They go where you don't expect them to go and are always perfect for the song and add so much colour/emotion. Unsung hero imo.
OMG Nick I've just seen you on Aussie National TV. They showed Paul Kelly a clip of you reacting to him on "The Project". I had it playing in the background so I missed it, hopefully someone can pass you the clip. Paul Kelly complemented your voice 😁
Link to The Projects interview with Paul Kelly where they mention Nick and show a clip of one of his Paul Kelly reactions: th-cam.com/video/6YAYK167vkg/w-d-xo.html
I totally took Chisel for granted when I was younger. It took a lot of decades of music exposure for me to start realising what they'd built, and all the music genres and artists that had influenced them
When the band went to America they were not looked after and only stayed for 5/6 weeks. I’m so glad that you are show casing their music as you all missed out the first time. 40 years later they are now finally being appreciated for the amazing musicians they are. You can read about their time in America in Jimmys book Working Class Man.
Cold chisel was the soundtrack to my youth. I have just spent a very pleasant afternoon binging your TH-cam vids. So nice to hear your breakdowns and reactions.
Australia is unique in that the bands and singers have a small audience to capture, and they had to do it in pubs. That means they had to appeal to everyone so they either mixed genres in the songs, or at least across their sets. If you weren't keen on one song on the night, you used that time to go and grab a drink and by the time you came back 'your' music was playing again. If you didn't like the start of a song, you could probably still hum the tune or sing the chorus, if not ignore it and tune back in again in a couple of minutes.
Hey man ... I am an Aussie and I am 63 ... I grew up with these guys and ai am so happy that you have found Chisel and I am so happy with you reactions ... good onya mate
You had your 15 seconds of fame in Australia last night when one of the TV programs called "The Project" were interviewing Aussie singer Paul Kelly and they showed him a clip of you commenting on one of his video clips.
Excellent. I'm always (and I can't emphasise that enough), in the mood for Chisel and Jimmy. Wishing Jimmy a very quick recovery from hip surgery. My Hubby has just passed the 6 month mark following a partial knee replacement. Tough at the start but so worth it, now he is not waking up every night in pain. Sending Jimmy healing thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Thanks for your reaction Nick. PS Chisel and Countdown did clash over not being able to perform live.....I've seen interviews of Jimmy many years later saying that he does realise the contribution that this Show made towards our musicians. Imagine asking Jimmy to mime when he can sing that well!!!!
Jimmy is certainly not cheap wine these days, he has matured like high dollar wine, not that he was ever cheap wine. The whole Cold Chisel band are so talented.
Don Walker's day job was literally - rocket scientist! He worked at Aeronautical Research Laboratory at Fisherman's Bend Melbourne as a scientist specialising in advanced airframes!
Lol, people are either a Jimmy Barnes fan or they’re wrong 🤷♀️ I think reggae influenced music was fashionable in Australia in the late 70s early 80s (Cheap Wine was 1980) ‘Hit and Run’ by Jo Jo Zep, ‘Land Down Under’ by Men At Work, and ‘Concrete and Clay’ by Mental as Anything come immediately to mind. 🤔
Cheap Wine....the song. Countdown was a music show. We all tuned in to it in the 70's and 80's. It put Aussie music out there. MANY great Aussie bands got their start on Countdown. ACDC, Hush, Skyhooks, Divinyls, heaps. All the international artists wanted to be on countdown as well. Even Prince Charles was on Countdown!!!😂😂 Started up and hosted by Ian 'Molly' Meldrum. He was a legend in his time too. Had a dream and followed it through.
Hi there how r u? My name is Lisa & I live in the Barossa Valley South Australia. Thank you for introducing new generations to awesome Classic Aussie Rock like Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes & John Farnham. The first line in the lyrics for the chorus in this song is 'cheap wine and a three day growth'! Other brilliant Aussie Rock Bands I would highly recommend are INXS (Michael Hutchence lead singer), Powerfinger, Hunters & Collectors, Screaming Jets & Noiseworks! I hope you enjoy their music as much us Australians do, all of these bands represent the soundtrack of our lives Cheers Lisa
The show they were on was a music show in Australia back then called "Countdown".. That's the reference to Countdown, it ran from 1971 to 1988 & was a staple in every Australian household.. They lip synced in that show so it wasn't live, was the studio version of the song Nick but yes barnesy has always had a great voice..
Best thing about Aussie rock over American rock. It was pub rock. A grade pub rock Every Friday or saturday, slide down to the local and see who was on. Hard drinking, having a blast.
He was a heavy drinker from memory like most other musso’s jimmy sure could fire up the audience .I was luck to see them a few times . He is more mature now love him still
Sydney born and bred. Randomly saw your channel when i couldnt sleep from too many espresso martinis in fiji. 9 months later and i literally rediscovered this song on Sunday night. And here you are!!
I suppose Lucky me to have been in Nightclub Mode when i was growing up & having the likes of Cold Chisel, INXS, The Angels, Midnight Oil, Mental as Anything, Hoodo Gurus, BOOM CRASH OPERA, & so many more. We didn't need any other music from anywhere else we had the BEST bands & music already here. I remember going to the Homestead Hotel & picking up a discarded ticket on the ground outside & went & watched INXS live at the HOMMY.
Oh wow I had forgotten the Homestead Hotel - it had a pretty rough reputation from what I recall? I only went there once - usually went to Cloudland, Mansfield Tavern and Festival Hall.
classic (old) chisel and Barnes were very melodic. This is a classic chisel thing and Countdown was a regular pop TV program that featured bands and pop acts.
Remember what i said long ago, Jimmy with his early voice before the alcohol and smokes gave him the legendary rasp. Put him side by side with his son David Campbell and they sound almost identical.
australian's all grew up listening to jimmy so many of cold chisel's songs were australian anthems for the time and getting pissed and singing them was the norm now imagine this song in a korean karaoke bar probably would never happen
This may have been recorded when he was young but even after all the alcohol and drug abuse over the years, with the subsequent damage to his vocals, Jimmy can still sing anything and blow you away with his voice.
Hollywood Seven - a set of cheap units . Jon English. Born in England but considered an Australian. Was in two versions of " Jesus's Christ Superstar", was the Pirate King in " Pirates of Penzance ". Also, did wrote a musical called " Paris" a Greek tale. Was star of stage, screen and TV. Long Live Ol' Dark Eyes aka Purple Pants .
Another song that is a part of the memory of youth of a generation of Aussies. Mat UI suggest you listen to Aussie Crawl's Sons of Beaches and Oh No Not You Again, James Reyne's Hammerhead and Goanna's Razor's Edge along with Moving Picture's Come Said the Boy to get a sense of the generation.
DUDE.... couldn't believe it when you were on the 6 o'clock news in Australia tonight talking about your Aussie man crush (Farnsy). How bizarre... hope you get a sub boost from it... PS, who is your PR team? 🤔😜
Dude, you're on Australian national TV called The Project (Channel 10) portions of your Paul Kelly ("Dumb Things") video reaction was aired......you should get paid.....copyright works in your favour now! LOL

Australian 80s music is very distinctive. as an Aussie I could be anywhere in the world a recognize Australian bands of that era instantly.

Cold Chisel - one of the greatest bands in the world ❤️
The Jimmy I remember from the late seventies early eighties drank two bottles of vodka on stage during each gig
This is classic Cold Chisel ...it's timeless rock 🙌💜
Seriously one of my favourite Chisel songs. Have to listen to it whenever it comes on
Cold chisel was the soundtrack to my youth.
I have just spent a very pleasant afternoon binging your TH-cam vids. So nice to hear your breakdowns and reactions.
I love the way Nick pulls things apart musically ... totally on point. !

Chisel at their finest - EAST the best album - all songs are awesome
You had your 15 seconds of fame in Australia last night when one of the TV programs called "The Project" were interviewing Aussie singer Paul Kelly and they showed him a clip of you commenting on one of his video clips.

Nothing is better than seeing Jimmy Barnes live...he's legendary
Don Walker's day job was literally - rocket scientist! He worked at Aeronautical Research Laboratory at Fisherman's Bend Melbourne as a scientist specialising in advanced airframes!
I always get goose bumps at the start of this song, it is great song.
Lol, people are either a Jimmy Barnes fan or they’re wrong 🤷♀️ I think reggae influenced music was fashionable in Australia in the late 70s early 80s (Cheap Wine was 1980) ‘Hit and Run’ by Jo Jo Zep, ‘Land Down Under’ by Men At Work, and ‘Concrete and Clay’ by Mental as Anything come immediately to mind. 🤔

70 now! My favourite band back then, still a Jimmy fan
the japanese head band he wore on the album cover of 'East" and on the 'Countdown' show became a staple worn by fans at many Cold Chisel shows
Howdy 🇦🇺🙋 .... That's One of the greatest verses in Aussie music... sitting on the beach drinking rocket fuels oh yeah
Another classic of Australian pub rock. On my driving playlist. Walkers lyrics are a view into those times. Incredible.
don walker is very talented - even wrote some songs for Slim
Nothing is more Aussie than THIS song 4:20
One of Chisel's early hits from the East album, I think 1980. Still have it rockin me on my playlist in the car.
Love Jimmy and love your reactions 🔥💯👍🇦🇺
my theme song when I chucked in work.. chucked in marriage and traveled the world...
The news said this morning that Jimmy had hip surgery yesterday but all went well apparently so he's all good.

Yeah, just yet another great Chisel song. Seemingly never ending. Love this.
Chisel with their relatable lyrics ..was a banger back than and still a banger now..
Another classic Chisel's song! Love it!
Some of the vocals come from Ian Moss who is the lead guitarist as well.
You still have to hear another song of theirs called 'Shipping Steel" another great pub song from Chisel!
The show they were on was a music show in Australia back then called "Countdown"..
That's the reference to Countdown, it ran from 1971 to 1988 & was a staple in every Australian household..
They lip synced in that show so it wasn't live, was the studio version of the song Nick but yes barnesy has always had a great voice..
Australian Rock was so unique and special. Still my favourite kind of music and makes me proud to be Aussie
Best thing about Aussie rock over American rock.
It was pub rock.
A grade pub rock
Every Friday or saturday, slide down to the local and see who was on.
Hard drinking, having a blast.
Full strength hard rock
My thoughts an prayers are with your family on the loss of your beloved Nan sending love from your Aussie fans ❤️ 💙 🙏
He was a heavy drinker from memory like most other musso’s jimmy sure could fire up the audience .I was luck to see them a few times . He is more mature now love him still
One of my first memories of a music video when I was young
Sir Jimmy Barnes…love it! 😅
I watch all these videos just to hear and watch you say "come on Jimmy?" love it!
Sydney born and bred.
Randomly saw your channel when i couldnt sleep from too many espresso martinis in fiji.
9 months later and i literally rediscovered this song on Sunday night.
And here you are!!
🎶 cheap wine and a teenage 🐐🎶
Love you man. Honoured Australian now!
Shout out to Jimmy who's recovering from hip surgery and doing very well.
Seriously, you are my favourite reactor!🇦🇺
I think you might be the top analysis bloke on Jimmy. Well done.
This feels like tonight ☺️🤣
Thanks for the reaction 💖🦋

New Year’s Day song🥳
Been waiting for you to find this one, I love it! Love his grit too though!
Jimmy almost looks like a sweet faced baby in the Choir Girl film clip heh
Cheep Wine on Count Down. Countdown was a music show here in Australia played over weekends late 70s 80s ...bit like RAGE :) hope that helps ...
australian's all grew up listening to jimmy so many of cold chisel's songs were australian anthems for the time and getting pissed and singing them was the norm now imagine this song in a korean karaoke bar probably would never happen
Fav Chisel song. Just something about it sticks out more than the others.
Ps just bumping my request as well ;)
This is one of the first singles I ever bought.
Fits me down to the ground right now, Good one Chisel 👍
Chisel - not to be confused with Cheezels - very tasty indeed.
🤣🤣🤣
Dam it, just put the Cheezels in the refrigerator..
This may have been recorded when he was young but even after all the alcohol and drug abuse over the years, with the subsequent damage to his vocals, Jimmy can still sing anything and blow you away with his voice.
Its "Cheap wine and a three day growth"

I love your guitar/ cello? picture
I saw jimmy just after chisel split up the first time...maybe 86 or 87... supported by divinyls at homebush Sydney
im just surprised you havent done this song before. then i just realised you havent done Last Frontier either. saving the best for last maybe
History will forget little secrets without proof.
I'm too drunk to explain what I meant.

Great reaction like always Nick... can you tell us more about the tattoo? Couldn't read the writing on it
Ah yes, cheap wine and a 3 legged goat good times.
Great song for all the alcoholics out there- lol 😂
A long day by cold chisel, 1978 live.
What..a..singer..
Another song that is a part of the memory of youth of a generation of Aussies. Mat UI suggest you listen to Aussie Crawl's Sons of Beaches and Oh No Not You Again, James Reyne's Hammerhead and Goanna's Razor's Edge along with Moving Picture's Come Said the Boy to get a sense of the generation.
Cheap wine and a three day growth!
Bass player (Phil Small) has a great off beat groove, gives it a slightly reggae feel.. possibly the best middle 8 in rock music..
Clever and correct observation.
Yep, that bridge is one of the high water marks of Oz rock
You were on one of our tv current affair program tonight
Jimmy was offered the Van Halen gig .
DUDE.... couldn't believe it when you were on the 6 o'clock news in Australia tonight talking about your Aussie man crush (Farnsy). How bizarre... hope you get a sub boost from it... PS, who is your PR team? 🤔😜
If you just clapped a fly at 2:23, whilst listening to Cold Chisel, then I'm sorry Nic, your actually now an Aussie..
Australia has a lot of reggae undertones… drums etc
Actually it was a bottle of vodka a night for Jimmy.
CHEAP WINE AND A TEENAGE GOAT
