To all the Aussies here… It was 11 years ago on January 16th that this iconic group lost their drummer… Steve Prestwich ✊️😔🕊 Long may his memory live on EVERY time a Chisels’ song is played 🇦🇺🤙😌🇦🇺
Jimmy Barnes is Scottish born Australian. A must do is a duet Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham, When something is wrong with my baby. The vocals are crazy! Also, Jimmy Barnes and Tina Turner, Simply the best. Jimmy Barnes and INXS, Good Times. Yes he's done so much in his career
Choir Girl was the first song ever sung and gone to charts about girls having to give up babies or get abortions, was unheard of anywhere else, but Aussie rock covers all types of subjects.
Khe Sanh ,the definitive song about the Australian military experience of the Vietnam War & coming back to an uncaring ,even hostile society in 1973 .Not fitting in, cant get a break ,being misunderstood. The Cold Chisel song that every Australian knows by heart.
@@PaulA-bv1rt Yes at sometime in this last bloody lockdown I watched a video about Khe Sanh. Don Walker wasn’t a Viet vet either so I suppose it’s poetic licence . It’s a song that needed to be written to get people to realise how hard it was for those that served & came back to a country after a very unpopular war.”No D day hero’s in 1973 really captured the sentiment. Gough Whitlam won the 1972 election on a bring our troops pledge. Pity there were treated so poorly when they returned.
@@waynec3563 Great song but I thought Chisel turned Khe Sanh into an anthem almostI first saw them in 1979.. Again Redgum didn’t have any Viet vets in their line up but the song captured the despondency & the emptiness of those young men who could never get proper answers or support after Australia got out.
So many more fantastic songs from them that you should check out - Khe Sahn - Cheap Wine - Forever Now - Ita - My Baby - You’ve Got Nothing I want - My Turn to Cry - When the War is Over - Bow River - Saturday Night - Breakfast at Sweethearts - Rising Sun And many more
Ita would be incomprehensible to a foreigner, even though it always makes me laugh when I hear it. My favourites are Forever Now and When the War is Over.
Funny how you say his ease of singing - spot on his voice is insane I put him right up there- ‘Working class man’ come on brother! Can’t turn a song title like that down surely 😄
I love being introduced to something, & immediately falling in love with it 😎 This singer hits the right notes for me, and the background harmonies add another dimension. I will look up more of their music, but this one's a winner. Thnx, J..
You can't go wrong with Cold Chisel. They are legendary in Australia, have been playing for decades and they have a lot of variety in their music. All band members were songwriters but the pianist, Don Walker, is a legendary songwriter down here. I think their ballads are the best. You should check out "When the war is over" and "Four Walls". If you enjoyed Choir Girl, you will love them too.
The lead singer is Jimmy Barnes and he went on to have a solo career and is still belting out songs at age 65, you should check him out as well as Cold Chisel. Australian Rock Legends.
Hope you've had fun finding their music. All of the members went on to have stela careers in the Australian music industry. Listen to Flame Trees if you haven't already.
Cold Chisel, more than just another pub rock band, are an institution in Australia, and lead singer Jimmy Barnes is a national treasure. Their pianist/keyboardist Don Walker wrote many of their hits, and is among one of our very best songwriters. From here I'd check out 'Khe Sanh' which is probably their signature song, 'When the War is Over', and 'Bow River' for a more rocking side to Cold Chisel. But you can't go wrong with anything from them.
The Chisel's were the definition of the hard working, hard playing Australian pub band. Jimmy during their concerts would go through a couple of bottles of vodka over the course of 2-2.5 hours for the gig. The guy doing the counterpoint vocals is Ian Moss. Another awesome singer in his own right. And if you want a rock and roll romance, Jimmy wrote a song about his then girlfriend Jane Mahony, the Thai stepdaughter of an Australian diplomat. Story has it that her father got a posting to Japan, and after she'd met Jimmy, she flew to Japan to see her parents and talk to them about dropping out of university. And the song "The Rising Sun" was written. Mind you, he jumped on a plane to steal her back again, flew to Japan stayed for a couple of weeks, flew back and she followed 6 months later and they got married in 1981. They have 4 kids, the 3 eldest made their own band called "The Tin Lids" (Aussie slang for Kids). They've been together now for 42 years and during the pandemic lockdowns in Australia, every week (or a couple of times a week), they would drop a video on social media of them (Jimmy and Jane) doing a song. Jimmy singing and Jane playing guitar. They are still as much in love today, as they were 42 years ago.
Jimmy, wife Jane and family have kept us Aussies entertained on twitter/Facebook with live performances from their living room throughout the pandemic, even normal day to day things like cooking and gardening and hanging with grandkids. That's the character of the guy and his family, not better than anyone but just regular people
They've been around since the late 70s, have been playing for decades except for a hiatus when they broke up briefly in the mid 80s, they have numerous albums and many hits. Its hard to find a bad song, and they have a lot of variety in their music. Enjoy
Enjoy. Both Ian Moss (lead guitarist) and Jimmy Barnes sing. This is one of my faves and from the same concert Bow River is a standout. th-cam.com/video/x4Wwq9_zn_c/w-d-xo.html
Jimmy is Australian rock royalty, he did a duet with another legen Michael Hutchence (lead singer of inxs) called good times, definitely worth the watch. Jimmy's son David Campbell and daughter Mahalia Barnes also have great voices
40yrs later and it's still considered mandatory to have Cold Chisel playing when having a beer around a campfire, absolute royalty of the Australian music scene. Thank you for reacting to our boys, most reactors don't so hats off to you sir.
u need to check the Divinyls.. especially the more obscure, earlier, harder stuff... she was perhaps Australia's best ever female front "woman"... and I would argue one of the best ever, anywhere.
Every Aussie of around my age, 50-60 grew up with Cold Chisel, whom predominantly were a pub band. He stills sings and has concerts, aged 65. Even his kids sing with him. More Chisel, You've got nothing I want Khe San Star Hotel Bow River Jimmy also had a huge career solo, Working class man!
I cannot believe that the rest of the world has slept on one of the greatest Australian bands of all time. They're right up there with AC/DC, Midnight Oil and INXS.
Jamel: There's a video of this singer Jimmy Barnes of Cold Chisel doing a duet with INXS on a song called "Good Times" Song is from the movie Lost Boys. You gotta react to that one.
Awesome, love this band. There are too many great Aussie bands that didn't break America. He should check out Rose Tattoo, Paul Kelly and the Messagers, Australian Crawl, and Jenny Morris. Just to name a few.
Jamel, wow you've done Cold Chisel!!! I'm shocked! Jimmy Barnes is one of Australia's best and favourite vocalists. You reacted to him with Joe Bonamassa. Jimmy was really young here
Oh man, haven't heard Cold Chisel since I was a little boy! My dad had a friend, his best man when he married my mum in fact (split now), who moved to Aus in 00, and when he used to come back over he'd always bring CDs with Aussie music on there for me and my dad to listen to. Cold Chisel, Rose Tattoo, Men at Work, Australian Crawl, even older stuff like the Easybeats and Slim Dusty. Forgot all about this band, awesome stuff!
I'm a 48 year old Aussie and you just named pretty much all of my favourite Aussie bands...well the first 4 anyway. I'm glad you got to experience such great bands.
@@mitchellbeston1033 Without The Easybeats I dont think we get most of Aussie rock that followed in the 70s, ACDC especially became the most well known worldwide and yeah, the first 4 mentioned
@@lukemanion2 No issue with the Easybeats, they're just not one of my favourite bands unlike the first 4 mentioned. I'm pretty sure that was the point i made but yeah i've got Slim and the Easybeats, along with plenty of other great bands on my playlist.
Oh mate… Here we go… GO THE CHISELS!!! 🇦🇺🤘😁🇦🇺. Jamel… I hope you get to see Jimmy “flying solo” on some of his finest work like “No Second Prize” & his most iconic hit (in my opinion)… “Working Class Man”. Jimmy can nail notes from ANYWHERE 👆😝👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺. He & the Chisels are LEGENDS here 🇦🇺🤙😎🇦🇺
The whole EAST album is amazing "Standing On The Outside "is still a favorite, I was lucky enough to be Jimmy Barnes driver back in the early 2000's in my limo bus and even him singing on the bus he was always in key he just loves to sing among other things😉
I love East but their first album and One long Day is my favourite plus anything on Swingshift. My brothers band supported them back in the mid to late 70's when Chisel were starting out . They also supported ACDC and got to know a lot of those guys gigging around Melbourne 1975 to 1977, then he went to Perth for three years and joined bands over there. He has told me some great stories about those times.
If you really want an "in your face" song, please react to "You Got Nothing I Want" by Cold Chisel. It's right in your face from the very first note. Very interesting story behind the song relating to them meeting record producer, Marty Schwartz in America for the American market, and the treatment Schwartz showed the band, or so the story goes.
More Aussie music Jamel! The Easybeats, 60s band, with Angus Young's older brother George Young on guitar. "Friday on my mind" The Divinyls, Only lonely Pleasure and pain Boys in town Masters and Apprentices, Turn up your Radio Midnight Oil, Power and the passion US forces Sacred heart
Brother you really need to check out Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham.."When something is wrong with my baby" you will hear 2 Australian power house voices belt it out. 💯🔥
OMG Jimmy Is one off our Aussie best singers His vocal ranged is amazing brilliant singer He has played in a few band’s but still . A truly lovely talented bloke from down under Australia 🇦🇺🥂🍾🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
I had to correct his age , Lead singer Jimmy Barnes is 65 and back on tour solo artist from Australia. He is fire. Please React to Jimmy Barnes and John Farnum singing when something is wrong with my baby. Its a black and white video. This man has soul from his head to his shoulders . He also does mustang sally and thats fire too.
Jamel, go and listen to their music on spotify, I have a feeling you will become a fan. If you do another of theirs, please do "Cheap Wine" or "Bow River" :)
This is one of my fav Cold Chisel songs. Ian Moss the guitarist here singing back up vocals does a haunting acoustic version of this song himself!! Cold Chisel Jimmy Barnes Ian Moss are Aussie legends..
Jamel… When these guys were in their prime, it was pretty much standing room only at their shows, no matter where they were performing & their shows left many of us with everlasting memories. “When the war is Over”, “Khe Sanh” (pronounced “Kay San”), “Cheap Wine”… A few more of their greatest hits 🇦🇺👍😄🇦🇺
Ian Moss, the guitarist, has a great voice as well. You will see that if you go much further down the Chisel rabbit hole. But Jimmy Barnes is a dead set legend.
Jamel, I know you do so many reactions but the familiar voice of the singer is Jimmy Barnes. You did a reaction to his duet with Joe Bonamassa on the song 'Lazy'.
Oh no you didn't JIMMY BARNES!! Please do 1998 Jimmy Barnes Live DRIVING WHEELS. He shreds!!!!! Do Strange Fruit... from the movie Still Crazy- WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
OH MAN. Been waiting for you to get to some Aussie music for a long time! Jimmy Barnes (the singer from this band) is a God here. So much great stuff. We're the last great rock nation on Earth (or at least that's what the singer from The Dandy Warhols said to the crowd when I saw them play here). "Cheap Wine" by this band is a must. Along with "My Baby", Khe Sanh", "Saturday Night", "When The War Is Over", "Forever Now", "Breakfast At Sweethearts", "You Got Nothing I Want", "Bow River" and heaaaaaps more.
It a song about a young girl having an abortion. Cold Chisel are a Legendary Australian band and do many of their songs are cultural anthems. Even a lot of young people who weren't even Born in the 80s know the words to Cold Chisel songs. I used to see Chisel fairly regularly in the 1980s and they never disappointed. I also used to see The Angels quite often and They were also huge in the 1980s. Check out, "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?".
The Warning is a rock band from Monterrey, Mexico formed in 2013 by the Villarreal sisters. Daniela (guitar), Paulina (drums), and Alejandra (Bass Guitar) first gained attention for their 2014 cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" on their TH-cam page, which has reached over 22.8 million views.
Came out in 1980, this classic Aussie song stands up so well four decades later. Probably could class it as soft rock/pop but the vocals from Barnes are very soulful and the harmonies are fantastic too. The guitarist Ian Moss had a fantastic voice too and sang lead vocals on a few songs. Bow River is an iconic song of there's where he sings the main lead vocals but Barnes also contributes....must check it out.
I saw Cold Chisel at a large concert in Victoria Park Sydney in 1977, just before they made it big. They are probably even more popular in Australia than ACDC, with much better lyrics. One of the other band members is Ian Moss who is also a fantastic singer and has had a fantastic solo career. Jimmy Barnes the singer has a brother with an equally powerful voice named John Swan. Best song imo Flame Trees.
Seen cold chisel in there prime during 80's and of recent years seen Jimmy Barnes and while he is in his 60's his voice just got better !I personally think Jimmy is our version of James Brown vocally .Shout out from Australia.Love your channel 👍
Do you remember the cover of Deep Purple's "Lazy" that you loved that was Joe Bonamassa & Jimmy Barnes? Well Cold Chisel's lead singer is Jimmy Barnes 😎 Check out one of their other collaborations which is Jimmy's song "Stone Cold". Other Cold Chisel tracks to check out are: When the War is Over, Bow River, Four Walls, Forever Now. You also love some of Jimmy's solo stuff...the duet with John Farnham "When Something is wrong with my Baby", Good Times with INXS & his classic "Working Class Man".
Now when you start hitting the Australian bands again, you already know I gotta request Icehouse. Try Electric Blue and Crazy to start. It’ll be a rabbit hole for sure.
It is about that, back in the 90's a girlfriend of mine had an abortion after we broke up. I didnt even know she was pregnant. Our differences weren't insurmountable and I was positive we could have sorted things out but she was angry and made her decision. It still hurts me to this day that I may have a child in heaven that never made it here because of a stupid argument over nothing of real importance that many 20 somethings experience. I am thankful that 4 years later I became a father with another woman and I cherish my daughter to this day and will forever.
Jimmy's voice is unique and amazing even now - You should try listening to a cover of Sam Cooke's 'change is gonna come' live 1984 as an example of his voice
I have been listening to Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes since the late 70's to now (since I was 17 or so) love them - Jimmy and his family kept us entertained from home throughout the pandemic with almost daily songs - he still can sing anything
You've reacted to John Farnham (You're the voice). Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham, When something is wrong with my baby. 2 powerhouses together. The reactor, ThatSingerReactiions, is his favourite 2 male singers. Huge rabbit hole Jamel
Barnesy, just gets better with age. The cold chisel days were amazing, especially live. His solo stuff is fantastic. He was performing jsut last weekend.
Please check out Jimmy Barnes and the king of Australian pop music, John Farnham, and Johnny Diesel singing, "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" on a LIVE stage show. You will be blown away !!! Jamel/Jamal, I've watched many of your first reactions and love your insights into music and your appreciation of it. You've given me much joy. Thanks and blessings to you.
This is very young Jimmy Barnes. The song was written by one of the band members who stepped up and supported a friend in need when she had no one else to turn to
Cold Chisel ❤️ 2 more to react to are Flame Trees and Khe San. Very popular in Australia. Most know the words to these better than the national anthem. Great reaction.
Jimmy is a legend and the lead guitarist, Ian Moss has a lovely voice too and sings on quite a few of their songs. Good guitarist as well. Cold Chisel really don't have a bad song and have been around for several decades. I suggest you listen to One Long Day off their Swingshift album. Its a live album but a brilliant version of that song. I also suggest "Wild Thing" from their Last Stand concerts so that you can get an idea of how great they were (are) to see live.
Wow, you really went off into the obscure as far as America goes. But as far as Aussies go, I'm sure they're thinking "It's about time". While you're doing good Aussie bands that are virtually unknown in America, you should react to a song or two by the band Rose Tattoo.
This song is all about metaphor. It is definitely about 'you know what'. Jimmy Barnes speaks of the meaning of the lyrics in part two of his autobiography, 'Working Class Man'. Cold Chisel is the real deal.
Definitely check out some more Aussie stuff. Such as Russell Morris, "The Real Thing", "Sweet, Sweet Love". And Stevie Wright, "Evie" Parts 1, 2 and 3. Stevie Wright was in the band The Easybeats - you may have heard their song "Friday on My Mind". One of the other members was George Young, brother of Malcolm and Angus Young of ACDC.
You do realise that this is young Jimmy Barnes. You have reacted to him before - but current older Jimmy. He has had those pipes all his life - amazing rock, blues and soul singer. His brother John Swan [Swannee] is also a great singer.
For some more blues style numbers, check out Janelle, Just how many times, and One long day. Chisel were hailed as a rock band, but I have always thought that they were more versatile than that. Ian Moss has a killer voice as well, more silky than Jimmy's, and they go together very well.
I've been enjoying your reactions for a year or more mate. "Stoked" that you have found our Aussie Gold!. Many of you up there are discovering what we Down Undah here regard proudly as- as good as anything out there!. The Aussie Pub Rock era is world famous here at home and has produced epic music that stands- out "Loud and proud!". Aussie Rock is a rabbit hole that gives a lot more than it gets!. Good onya Maaayte!. Luvya work!. Check out Jimmy Barnes (Barnsie) and John Farnham (Farnsie) and Jonny Diesel (Diesel) doing "When something is wrong with my baby " live on "Hey hey it's Saturday ". You will never look back mate!. Zebedee👍.
"Cheap wine" gets my vote for the next one 😊 a piano based song with a surprisingly complex musical composition that sounds simple at the same time. these guys were very talented. a lot of people (who don't know much about music) would dismiss them though because of their "bogan" image.
I'm sure others have suggested it, but you should hear the duet version of Simply the Best the singer in this (Jimmy Barnes) did with Tina Turner in the early 90s. It's excellent. Jimmy and Tina have the male and female equivalents of each other's voices.
Jimmy Barnes has one of the best voices on the planet. You really need to check out his version of Stone Cold with Joe Bonamassa. Absolutely incredible and really showcases the power of Jimmy voice along the stunning guitar playing of Joe. One definitely not to be missed 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cold Chisel!!! Here in Aus they are one of the greatest of all time bands we had. You should listen to Khe Sahn about the Vietnam war ....pure brilliance. On a side note why don't you try what Jayvee does with the music videos? He puts like a shadow or mist cover over the video and they all play check out what he does and maybe you could do the same so yours also play.
Great to see you getting into Cold Chisel. Jimmy Barnes is my favourite singer of all time. His solo stuff is even better IMO. Try ‘I’d Die to be with you tonight’ or ‘Driving Wheels’.

Also the most overplayed song on Australian radio... 😉
"Bow River" showcases the talents of both vocalists, Jimmy Barnes and guitarist Ian Moss
I was listening to Bow River today and I love Ian Moss voice so much better even though I know Jimmy is great too, but hey, each to their own🥰.

@@eviekelpie1 yeah cheers, there's stories i would never tell but overall Jimmy was always a top guy to me
@@stevewynter4519 yes I know what you mean but we just enjoy the music
I love East but their first album and One long Day is my favourite plus anything on Swingshift. My brothers band supported them back in the mid to late 70's when Chisel were starting out . They also supported ACDC and got to know a lot of those guys gigging around Melbourne 1975 to 1977, then he went to Perth for three years and joined bands over there. He has told me some great stories about those times.
Didn't realise what the A word was at first but yeah, it does make sense.
Now it's time to go down the Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss rabbit hole
Yes it's about the "a" word. Touching song
Classic Aussie rock!!! Jimmy Barnes has such a unique voice.
If you really want an "in your face" song, please react to "You Got Nothing I Want" by Cold Chisel. It's right in your face from the very first note. Very interesting story behind the song relating to them meeting record producer, Marty Schwartz in America for the American market, and the treatment Schwartz showed the band, or so the story goes.

Brother you really need to check out Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham.."When something is wrong with my baby" you will hear 2 Australian power house voices belt it out. 💯🔥
Amazing song! And Diesel on guitar too. 3 Aussie greats
OMG Jimmy Is one off our Aussie best singers
His vocal ranged is amazing brilliant singer He has played in a few band’s but still .
A truly lovely talented bloke from down under Australia 🇦🇺🥂🍾🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
Awesome song by an awesome Aussie band! Jimmy Barnes has one of the best Rock and soul voices in the world!
I had to correct his age , Lead singer Jimmy Barnes is 65 and back on tour solo artist from Australia. He is fire. Please React to Jimmy Barnes and John Farnum singing when something is wrong with my baby. Its a black and white video. This man has soul from his head to his shoulders . He also does mustang sally and thats fire too.
He's in his mid 60s lol
@@eviekelpie1 oh i could have sworn i read he was 70ish but he can surely sing like no other.🥰 i made the correction ...thanks.
@@lisaeason6874 Lol. Just Googled it. April 1956. He was very young when he started in the 70s
Jamel, go and listen to their music on spotify, I have a feeling you will become a fan. If you do another of theirs, please do "Cheap Wine" or "Bow River" :)
This is one of my fav Cold Chisel songs. Ian Moss the guitarist here singing back up vocals does a haunting acoustic version of this song himself!! Cold Chisel Jimmy Barnes Ian Moss are Aussie legends..
Jamel… When these guys were in their prime, it was pretty much standing room only at their shows, no matter where they were performing & their shows left many of us with everlasting memories. “When the war is Over”, “Khe Sanh” (pronounced “Kay San”), “Cheap Wine”… A few more of their greatest hits 🇦🇺👍😄🇦🇺
Quite a few venues got busted for exceeding crowd limits when Chisel played. Them amd Midnight Oil were a bit notorious for that.
Ian Moss, the guitarist, has a great voice as well. You will see that if you go much further down the Chisel rabbit hole. But Jimmy Barnes is a dead set legend.
My Australian mate gave their greatest hits 25 years ago one fantastic band to listen too.
Hard to believe Jimmy was ever that young.
That's how I first knew of him
Jamel, I know you do so many reactions but the familiar voice of the singer is Jimmy Barnes. You did a reaction to his duet with Joe Bonamassa on the song 'Lazy'.
Oh no you didn't JIMMY BARNES!! Please do 1998 Jimmy Barnes Live DRIVING WHEELS. He shreds!!!!! Do Strange Fruit... from the movie Still Crazy- WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
OH MAN. Been waiting for you to get to some Aussie music for a long time! Jimmy Barnes (the singer from this band) is a God here. So much great stuff. We're the last great rock nation on Earth (or at least that's what the singer from The Dandy Warhols said to the crowd when I saw them play here). "Cheap Wine" by this band is a must. Along with "My Baby", Khe Sanh", "Saturday Night", "When The War Is Over", "Forever Now", "Breakfast At Sweethearts", "You Got Nothing I Want", "Bow River" and heaaaaaps more.
It a song about a young girl having an abortion.
Cold Chisel are a Legendary Australian band and do many of their songs are cultural anthems. Even a lot of young people who weren't even Born in the 80s know the words to Cold Chisel songs.
I used to see Chisel fairly regularly in the 1980s and they never disappointed.
I also used to see The Angels quite often and They were also huge in the 1980s. Check out, "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?".
The Warning is a rock band from Monterrey, Mexico formed in 2013 by the Villarreal sisters. Daniela (guitar), Paulina (drums), and Alejandra (Bass Guitar) first gained attention for their 2014 cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" on their TH-cam page, which has reached over 22.8 million views.
I heard him sing in a record store once doing a promo- no mic an acoustic guitar in the back ground- his voice was belting out over everything.
I always get goosebumps when I listen to Cold Chisel - brilliant songwriting, musicianship and of course vocally fire!
Came out in 1980, this classic Aussie song stands up so well four decades later.
Probably could class it as soft rock/pop but the vocals from Barnes are very soulful and the harmonies are fantastic too.
The guitarist Ian Moss had a fantastic voice too and sang lead vocals on a few songs.
Bow River is an iconic song of there's where he sings the main lead vocals but Barnes also contributes....must check it out.
I saw Cold Chisel at a large concert in Victoria Park Sydney in 1977, just before they made it big. They are probably even more popular in Australia than ACDC, with much better lyrics. One of the other band members is Ian Moss who is also a fantastic singer and has had a fantastic solo career. Jimmy Barnes the singer has a brother with an equally powerful voice named John Swan. Best song imo Flame Trees.
Check out "Cheap Wine" & "When The War Is Over".
Aw yiiisssss...Chisel! Jimmy actually auditioned for lead singer when Bon Scott died...he's got that type of voice
Seen cold chisel in there prime during 80's and of recent years seen Jimmy Barnes and while he is in his 60's his voice just got better !I personally think Jimmy is our version of James Brown vocally .Shout out from Australia.Love your channel 👍
More Aussie stuff plz. Masters Apprentices. Axiom.
Jimmy is a lovely, sweet guy, as well as an amazing singer. An Aussie icon. We adore him ❤
Do you remember the cover of Deep Purple's "Lazy" that you loved that was Joe Bonamassa & Jimmy Barnes?
Well Cold Chisel's lead singer is Jimmy Barnes 😎
Check out one of their other collaborations which is Jimmy's song "Stone Cold".
Other Cold Chisel tracks to check out are: When the War is Over, Bow River, Four Walls, Forever Now.
You also love some of Jimmy's solo stuff...the duet with John Farnham "When Something is wrong with my Baby", Good Times with INXS & his classic "Working Class Man".
Now when you start hitting the Australian bands again, you already know I gotta request Icehouse. Try Electric Blue and Crazy to start. It’ll be a rabbit hole for sure.
Great Southern Land
Hey Little Girl
Icehouse
Walls
… so many others
God seeing them now. Such youngsters. Growing up with best rock in Aus.
It is about that, back in the 90's a girlfriend of mine had an abortion after we broke up. I didnt even know she was pregnant. Our differences weren't insurmountable and I was positive we could have sorted things out but she was angry and made her decision. It still hurts me to this day that I may have a child in heaven that never made it here because of a stupid argument over nothing of real importance that many 20 somethings experience. I am thankful that 4 years later I became a father with another woman and I cherish my daughter to this day and will forever.
And that Guitar God is a gent by the name of Ian Moss. GUITAR GOD!!!!
Jimmy's voice is unique and amazing even now - You should try listening to a cover of Sam Cooke's 'change is gonna come' live 1984 as an example of his voice
Brings back great memories 👏brilliant band thanks from down under
Bro cold chisel are legends and khe San is a favourite and it goes into your soul and you get to feel like the guy that they are singing about
OMG, finally your are on to Cold Chisel! If I could like this over and over I would.
Please go deep down this rabbit hole my man.
Another great little known song is "Shipping Steel".
Jimmy Barnes and John Farhnam are soul.
Jimmy Barnes can belt out a tune. Love his voice sample jimmy barnes solo material please.
I have been listening to Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes since the late 70's to now (since I was 17 or so) love them - Jimmy and his family kept us entertained from home throughout the pandemic with almost daily songs - he still can sing anything
You've reacted to John Farnham (You're the voice). Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham, When something is wrong with my baby. 2 powerhouses together. The reactor, ThatSingerReactiions, is his favourite 2 male singers. Huge rabbit hole Jamel
Barnesy, just gets better with age. The cold chisel days were amazing, especially live. His solo stuff is fantastic. He was performing jsut last weekend.
Please check out Jimmy Barnes and the king of Australian pop music, John Farnham, and Johnny Diesel singing, "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" on a LIVE stage show. You will be blown away !!! Jamel/Jamal, I've watched many of your first reactions and love your insights into music and your appreciation of it. You've given me much joy. Thanks and blessings to you.
This is very young Jimmy Barnes.
The song was written by one of the band members who stepped up and supported a friend in need when she had no one else to turn to
It's a beautiful song that hits me hard every time.
All women should be so lucky to have true friends like these guys
Cold Chisel ❤️
2 more to react to are Flame Trees and Khe San. Very popular in Australia. Most know the words to these better than the national anthem. Great reaction.
You’ve got to do Bow River live…. Amazing!!! ❤️
Jimmy is a legend and the lead guitarist, Ian Moss has a lovely voice too and sings on quite a few of their songs. Good guitarist as well. Cold Chisel really don't have a bad song and have been around for several decades. I suggest you listen to One Long Day off their Swingshift album. Its a live album but a brilliant version of that song. I also suggest "Wild Thing" from their Last Stand concerts so that you can get an idea of how great they were (are) to see live.
Wow, you really went off into the obscure as far as America goes. But as far as Aussies go, I'm sure they're thinking "It's about time". While you're doing good Aussie bands that are virtually unknown in America, you should react to a song or two by the band Rose Tattoo.
You know Jimmy. You did "Lazy".... this song live is beautiful 😍
Jamel. You sir are about to go down the Cold Chisel rabbit hole.
I know you will enjoy the ride.
This song is all about metaphor.
It is definitely about 'you know what'.
Jimmy Barnes speaks of the meaning of the lyrics in part two of his autobiography, 'Working Class Man'.
Cold Chisel is the real deal.
Jimmy is sure young lookin here. Scottish born and bred. :-)
Jimmy Barnes is Cold Chisels lead singer. Huge solo career! Please Jamel, you must do "Working class man". The Aussie man's anthem
Another Cold Chisel ballad. Well done Jamel 😊😊.
Definitely check out some more Aussie stuff.
Such as Russell Morris, "The Real Thing", "Sweet, Sweet Love".
And Stevie Wright, "Evie" Parts 1, 2 and 3.
Stevie Wright was in the band The Easybeats - you may have heard their song "Friday on My Mind". One of the other members was George Young, brother of Malcolm and Angus Young of ACDC.
You do realise that this is young Jimmy Barnes. You have reacted to him before - but current older Jimmy. He has had those pipes all his life - amazing rock, blues and soul singer. His brother John Swan [Swannee] is also a great singer.
For some more blues style numbers, check out Janelle, Just how many times, and One long day. Chisel were hailed as a rock band, but I have always thought that they were more versatile than that. Ian Moss has a killer voice as well, more silky than Jimmy's, and they go together very well.
Yep!
Cold Chisel has so many great songs. Jimmy Barnes is rock royalty in Australia.
I've been enjoying your reactions for a year or more mate.
"Stoked" that you have found our Aussie Gold!.
Many of you up there are discovering what we Down Undah here regard proudly as- as good as anything out there!.
The Aussie Pub Rock era is world famous here at home and has produced epic music that stands- out "Loud and proud!".
Aussie Rock is a rabbit hole that gives a lot more than it gets!.
Good onya Maaayte!.
Luvya work!.
Check out Jimmy Barnes (Barnsie) and John Farnham (Farnsie) and Jonny Diesel (Diesel) doing "When something is wrong with my baby " live on "Hey hey it's Saturday ".
You will never look back mate!.
Zebedee👍.
Jimmy and John are undoubtedly Australia’s best male artists
This song reminds me of growing up in Sydney in the ‘80’s
"Cheap wine" gets my vote for the next one 😊 a piano based song with a surprisingly complex musical composition that sounds simple at the same time. these guys were very talented. a lot of people (who don't know much about music) would dismiss them though because of their "bogan" image.
I'm sure others have suggested it, but you should hear the duet version of Simply the Best the singer in this (Jimmy Barnes) did with Tina Turner in the early 90s. It's excellent. Jimmy and Tina have the male and female equivalents of each other's voices.
Jimmy Barnes has one of the best voices on the planet. You really need to check out his version of Stone Cold with Joe Bonamassa. Absolutely incredible and really showcases the power of Jimmy voice along the stunning guitar playing of Joe. One definitely not to be missed 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cold Chisel!!! Here in Aus they are one of the greatest of all time bands we had. You should listen to Khe Sahn about the Vietnam war ....pure brilliance.
On a side note why don't you try what Jayvee does with the music videos? He puts like a shadow or mist cover over the video and they all play check out what he does and maybe you could do the same so yours also play.
Steven Prestwich Cold chisel Drummer… wrote two of the best Cold Chisel songs When the war is over and Forever Now check them out.
Oh man, please get into Aussie rock from the 70s/80s! So much untapped music here for you my man. Get on the Aussie Rock Train!!!!!!!!
Jimmy Barnes is one of my fav singers, looks like a brick layer but sings like an angel :)
Great to see you getting into Cold Chisel. Jimmy Barnes is my favourite singer of all time. His solo stuff is even better IMO. Try ‘I’d Die to be with you tonight’ or ‘Driving Wheels’.
Jimmy Barnes is 65 and can still hit every note his range is still insane
