Oh the 70's and 80's Pub bands in Australia. Saturday nights go to pubs (bars) or club and watch AC/DC, Cold Chisle, The Angels, Divinyls, Australian Crawl, Men at Work, Inxs, Icehouse, Slit Enz, Skyhooks, Midnight Oil, and Dragon play live fantastic time in Australia.
Cold Chisel went to the states in the early 80s. They weren’t given a warm reception. They had problems with record labels. So,they packed their bags and came home. They wrote a song about it. You got nothing I want. Great rock song.
I fist saw Cold Chisel in a Sydney hotel in 1976 with no more than 120 people. I was up close to Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes. They were very young 19-20 yr olds. Security was just 1 guy on the door and no charge to get in. They weren't famous then, but hell they were great ! . . . a lot of their songs in those days were covers. They did James Brown songs and others. They were very talented kids. 3 years later they were superstars in Aust and NZ. They were snubbed in America by a record company because they played "black music". In disgust they came back to Australia. Cold Chisel made it the hard way without a lot of promotion - just pure talent, embracing the blues, rockabilly and rock'roll. As Jimmy once said "Music ain't got no color".
They went to the US but got the short end of the stick so they came home and wrote "You got nothing I want" to stick it up them (the US music scene). The US missed out badly. They're ours anyway.
OMG, let’s not forget Ian Moss. This was his song. Cold Chisel was lucky to have two of the greatest rock talents on the planet out front, Mossy and Barnsey. What an awesome band.💕
You need to check out them singing “wild thing” live 1983 the last stand concert ! It is epic and shows you how they rolled in their younger days . You’ll love it
It’s an insane live performance, how tight they are whilst being very adaptable while Jimmy interacts with the audience th-cam.com/video/oQ19NWzA8TA/w-d-xo.html
Is that the performance where Jimmy was pissed as a nit? He goes alllll the way into the crowd? I haven't seen that one in years, but it's gatdamn epic!
Barnsey is fire, but Cold Chisel is like a lot of Aussie Bands with two singers. Ian Moss or Mossy is the blues rock guitarist and vocalist in this song, and Jimmy has soul ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ian Moss is the very talented co-singer and guitarist here. The song that he wrote is about his time in the tropical north of Australia .He performs at his own concerts. Ian sings the beautiful, classic American song, 'Georgia" at one of the Cold Chisel concerts. Please check out the You Tube video of it .The brains behind the group is Don Walker who plays the piano. The fantastic harmonica player is not a permanent member of the group. Australian groups honed their skills and talent playing at (big) pub venues. Jimmy also does some softer songs, eg. 'Stoned In Love With You,' which are lovely. Please react to more of JOHN FARNHAM LIVE as he is a musical genius of voice and a consummate showman. Enjoying your reactions.
Luv ur reactions to our greatest Australian pub band ever... Jimmy Barnes as a solo artist and with Cold Chisel he's a legend and so are the whole group Cold Chisel
Have we been keeping a few music secrets here in Australia for a few decades lol. Oh, Jimmy’s daughter Mahalia Barnes can sing a note or 2 or more lol - she has more soul in her little finger than I have in my whole body lol. Well all Jimmy’s children and now grandchildren are musical. And his beautiful wife Jane too😊
Chisel "broke up" in1983, Barnes went solo and has a ton of great tunes. Chisel has "reformed" again and has made some great cd`s in the 2000`s. Unfortunately their drummer/songwriter Steven Prestwitch passed away in 2011 from cancer. But they are still doing their thing and i love em`. Songs with Chisel .-"Forever now", "Star Hotel", "Saturday night", "You`ve got nothing i want, "My turn to cry", "When the War is over", "Khe Sahn" and more. Barnestunes:"Working class man", "Driving wheels", "I`d die to be with you tonight", "Lay down your guns", "Let`s make it last all night", "Two fires", "I`m still on your side". I could go on and on :)
Great reaction man. Check out Stone Cold by Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa. Jimmy is 58 year's old in this one but his voice is incredible, it has matured like a 20 year old Bourbon and Joe on guitar is awesome.
Child Chisel took turns to sing and the result was an awesome hodge podge of styles and genres, paving the lives of millions of pple...... best Australian rock
You said it's your first time hearing Cold Chisel, something tells me it won't be your last. They are one hell of a band and your next Chisel song should Goodye Astrid Goodbye. Energy plus!
Cold Chisel Started in 1973… and are still going strong….. they really hit their peak in the early 80’s…. And have 9 studio albums….. Ian Moss vocals and songwriter on this song is worth a look too … with an outstanding solo career.
It’s so good it’s it!! we have been so spoiled in Australia with the exceptional talent we have in our country that most of the world doesn’t know about and are just finding out about if you can’t perform and sing live don’t bother walking out on stage because as Aussie will just walk out no lip sync etc here. Bow River is a mix of Australian pub rock, blues rock and a bit of soul mixed in.. it was the best time to up grow up in the 60s 70s & 80s in Australia so many great band and singers which we still have them today but the bands were just phenomenal back then.. it’s a huge rabbit hole you will venture down into and one you will enjoy and be blown way by .. Aussie will guild you through it as they will let you know which ones to watch and listen too, but always do live versions of John Farnham, Jimmy Branes, Guy Sebastian these are the most popular ones that reactors react too.but there are so many more.. 🧐😊🇦🇺
Hahahaha love you Alex you’re a classic!!! I told you this was the version to do right?!?! I mean you only got a snippet of what Barnsey is capable of here but what a vocal duo they both make! I honestly agree with you that this is one of the best rock performances ever, every single musician is featured and completely rocking the stage!! If an alien landed tomorrow and asked what is rock music, I’d show ‘em this. So glad you loved it as much as we do! ❤️
I've been a Chisel fan from way back, and couldnt agree more. While there are other songs I might like better, this is THE concert performance, bar none.
Should take a step back in time and look at the official video for Choir Girl. For all their hard rock energy - Cold Chisel’s most popular songs in Australia are actually more introspective ballad type songs. Flame Trees, Khe Sanh, Forever Now. But to see chisel in their prime, doing their thing, they covered ‘Wild Thing’ back in the day, and filmed it. It’s like it was written for them.
So you know Farnsy & Barnsy, now we introduce Mossy (Ian Moss) effing amazing musicians, every one of them. Seeing them in the 1980’s was, well I have no words, just incredible memories that you’ve brought back to me!!!
@@OutOnThatLine I’m sorry but I’m such an internet nuff nuff and can’t copy and paste, but if you look up Ian Moss performs live from the basement studio that is the one. It was put up 14 years ago. ❤️
Cold Chisel nearly went big in the US. They had the same manager as Motley Crue. Basically the manager chose Crue and Chisel flew back to Australia content on just being huge in Australia.
Not only is each member great on their instrument, but they have all written songs for the band also. Cold Chisel songs have a bit of diversity in style partly due to that very reason.
You want to see chisel in there prime- may I recommend any future song you react to have a look to see if that particular song is on the “last stand” video, the whole concert just ROCKS👏👏
thank you for this great reaction to one of our aussie greats, there are many more. the guitarist who sings is ian moss, what a voice who sang on a couple of cold chisel songs although jimmy was the lead singer. get ready to be amazed again try the video oils on water - stand in line - midnight oil. the lead singer of midnight oil peter garrett is known for his chaotic, energetic moves on stage and his band like cold chisel were iconic in australia, also the additional dancer in the clip is actually just a crowd member. this is the most full on a live performance can get, enjoy!
I agree that this is one of the best live performances of anything ever. Everyone on that stage was flexing, and yet no one was trying to be better than anyone else, just working in synch to the best of their ability. Seen it so many times, never gets old. ❤
I'm Australian, grew up with Chisel, heard this song more times than I can count, even seen them live a couple of times. And I STILL get the same facial expressions as you listening to this. Never gets old....
"Pick up a fast car and burn my name in the road" - Greatest lyric ever... I've seen Barnsey and Ian Moss (the guitarist who sang lead in this one) live sooooo many times. I've seen Cold Chisel a couple of times too and they are definitely one of the best live bands I've seen...
@@alibabaoofandangle I absolutely love Cold Chisel. I was lucky enough to see them a couple of years back in Marrickville as The Barking Spiders. It was a secret concert only real fans of Chisel knew about. I even got a Barking Spiders t-shirt... 👌
Cold Chisel have always been a staple with songs like Flame Trees, Choirgirl, Khe Sanh, When the War is Over. All my music memories are of Jimmy solo as the band had broken up by the time I was really listening to music. I had a cassette with Lay Down Your Guns and later he released his Soul Deep album. Since then there has been more Chisel touring and both Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes can be seen touring solo. I am yet to get to a concert, never seem to be in the right place at the right time.
Seen Chisel at a pub in Melbourne i was 14yrs. Australians contribute to Music is our"PUBROCK" most Aussies my age seen all the greats of Australia music at pubs..How lucky we're we 🤩💚💛🖤❤️
Jimmy Barnes is Australian Rock Royalty first with his band Cold Chisel then a solo career that is still going check out Jimmy Barnes and Joe Banommassa STONE COLD
Love that you were blown away… I think this is one of the best Cold Chisel performances ever. Even though they are older, they are experienced, dried out and doing it for the love of the music. Some early works I fell in love with were the studio versions as some of the live versions are a little frantic, unintelligible and so fast as to miss the nuances of the art. I still have the first Chisel album I bought “East” Stunning band, timeless songs, everyone in the band is a deadset legend!!! 🇦🇺
It's a shame that the American music industry/rock press/label etc weren't smart enough to pick up on just how brilliant this band was. At their height, they were the best rocking band in the world. Ask any Australian ... they'll tell you. Chisel were simply the best.
Great reaction - So much Cold Chisel to check out. To see them in their prime in the tour they did when they had announced they were breaking up and Jimmy was at his wildest. Watch them cover 'Wild Thing' on the Last Stand Tour. Just Crazy stuff.
Not as much Jimmy in this but my God its got Ian Moss & his voice is so unique & wonderful. Then you have David Blight on harmonica & and it's so fantastic. And then Jimmy comes in and blows us all away. Love this song, could listen to it every day. Listen to some of their older songs ..Choir Girl, Khe Sahn, Flame Trees & when the War is Over from this concert. & for John Farnham, my favourite of many would be Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Always listen to John & Jimmy live . Great reaction
I've watched 3 of your vids and you get a subscription from me. The words you say about Barnesy are spot on and well deserved. Absolute legend here in Australia. Please check out 'Stone cold' with Jimmy and Joe Bonamassa. It will reorganise your world!
Glad you have had a chance to experience Cold Chisel. Look into some of their earliest little gems like Choir Girl, Cheap Wine and Four wall. Then get ready for the very wild, Wild Thing.
I would love to watch your reaction to Matt Corby playing 'Brother' on Triple J Like a version. Another great Aussie talent. Your passion for music really shines through on your vids! Cheers
I am really enjoying witness your discovery of Australian music. Please keep digging. Go down that rabbit hole. You will not regret it. Outside of John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss, Cold Chisel, there are other brilliant artists from this nation. There's plenty more, but here are some names to look out for. Paul Kelly Billy Thorpe Midnight Oil Little River Band Crowded House (Shut up, kiwis. You get Split Enz, we get Crowdies. Fair's fair.) Baby Animals (One Word, Rush You, Early Warning, Painless are highlights) Diesel (or Johnny Diesel & The Injectors) (a.k.a. Marc Lizotte) The Screaming Jets (Better and Helping Hand are highlights) The Black Sorrows (Never Let Me Go will blow you away) Deni Hines (It's Not Over is a highlight) Divinyls Powderfinger Hunters and Collectors and of course, AC/DC.
Just stumbled across you Alex & especially your OZ Reactions. Apart from you (obviously😛), I was drawn to your backdrop...I immediately thought of The Golden Girls TV series & the banana plant wallpaper in Blanches bedroom😱😀🤣. Have now searched & watched all your OZ Reactions & looking forward to more😄 I reckon you are a great guy & your appreciation of our talented OZ artists (I refuse to be dragged into where they were born..All that matters to me is THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES CALL THEMSELVES AUSTRALIAN...yes some by birth & yes some by citizenship. Thats what Australia is...a melting pot. Just subscribed👍👍 Love from OZ (An Australian born to Dutch parents😊)
Great review but ya need to do more reactions to cold chisel( last stand ) there is tons on youtube mate, have a look and you won’t be disapointed. Bow river is just one of so many
Can I suggest you check out Kasey Chambers covering Eminem’s Lose yourself….be prepared ….. it’s a country version that will set you off a little passed halfway thru!
I've got them up there with Led Zeppelin and Metallica. They don't have any bad songs. Check out Wild Thing from The Last Stand concerts. I've subscribed.
Australia had a very Strong Pub Rock Scene and these Australian bands were forged in that crucible if you could not hold an audience you did not get far other bands included The Angels , Midnight Oil, Australian Crawl, Mondo Rock, Hodoo Gurus, Spy V's Spy, Paul Kelly, Hunters and Collectors, INXS ETC
Oh the 70's and 80's Pub bands in Australia. Saturday nights go to pubs (bars) or club and watch AC/DC, Cold Chisle, The Angels, Divinyls, Australian Crawl, Men at Work, Inxs, Icehouse, Slit Enz, Skyhooks, Midnight Oil, and Dragon play live fantastic time in Australia.

@@aussiekat6379 and then they wrote a song about it!LOL
@@michellegoldsmith yes they sure did that’s what I was referring too lol
Big loss for the USA, but we got to keep them here.😊
When Cold Chisel are on their game they are the greatest rock and roll band in the world.
Peak cold chisel had Jimmy with a headband and a bottle of vodka while belting
They wasn't just a performance, that was a party
Dave Blight on harmonica, legend.
“I need a cigarette“ 😆😆😆
I think he liked it!
Bow River has always been Ian Mosses signature song written by Mossy
I was in that crowd many times... And this is just the tip of the Aussie pub rock scene back in late 70's and all through the 80's.
I love that the rest of the world is finding out what we all knew back in the late seventies. Best band in the world, period!
I fist saw Cold Chisel in a Sydney hotel in 1976 with no more than 120 people. I was up close to Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes. They were very young 19-20 yr olds.

Aussie legends and pub rock graduates where they polished their performances like all the great bands did in my youth

Cold Chisel - Wild Thing is a great example of them live in their prime. A fantastic cover of the classic song by The Troggs.
Thanks for playing all the way through. As we say here in Western Sydney, "CHIIIIIISEEEELLL!!!!!" It's a primal thing, approx 40,000 years old.

This performance was EPIC. Check out “wild thing” next by Cold Chisel

Cold Chisel is a bands that has at least four amazing songwriters in it. They're kind of like The Eagles in that regard.
No exaggeration - late 70s early 80s Cold Chisel was the best rock band in the world.

Thankyou for your genuine reaction my mate, good to hear ol JB wind up, the studio version pumps.
I think you must be ready for Barnesy's "Stone Cold" with Joe Bonamassa now. Sure you'll love it. Thankyou. Love your reactions!!
Added!
I would love to watch your reaction to Matt Corby playing 'Brother' on Triple J Like a version. Another great Aussie talent. Your passion for music really shines through on your vids! Cheers
thank you so much! I'll check out the Corby!!

Wild thing live by Cold Chisel.... perhaps try that one brother.... merry Christmas

Great reaction 💥
Just stumbled across you Alex & especially your OZ Reactions. Apart from you (obviously😛), I was drawn to your backdrop...I immediately thought of The Golden Girls TV series & the banana plant wallpaper in Blanches bedroom😱😀🤣. Have now searched & watched all your OZ Reactions & looking forward to more😄 I reckon you are a great guy & your appreciation of our talented OZ artists (I refuse to be dragged into where they were born..All that matters to me is THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES CALL THEMSELVES AUSTRALIAN...yes some by birth & yes some by citizenship. Thats what Australia is...a melting pot.
Just subscribed👍👍
Love from OZ (An Australian born to Dutch parents😊)
Thanks for joining us! Planning on diving into many more Australian music gems.
You better be ready mate
Plenty more where that came from
Great review but ya need to do more reactions to cold chisel( last stand ) there is tons on youtube mate, have a look and you won’t be disapointed. Bow river is just one of so many
They wrote the song You got nothing I want which explains why they didn’t make it in the US
check out "Wild Thing" live by Cold Chisel
Check out Jimmy Barnes with his son David Campbell - they are fantastic together 😂
Check out Wild Thing Cold Chisel’s Last Stand Concert 1983
Listen to powderfinger next, they were IMO the best band in the world in the early 2000s, but never got the attention they deserved being Australian
Wild Thing. Do it now
You Got Nothing I Want is their raised middle finger to the American music industry.
Listen to Jimmy Barnes singing lay down your gun please
Ian moss sings this one mate
Can I suggest you check out Kasey Chambers covering Eminem’s Lose yourself….be prepared ….. it’s a country version that will set you off a little passed halfway thru!
I've got them up there with Led Zeppelin and Metallica. They don't have any bad songs. Check out Wild Thing from The Last Stand concerts. I've subscribed.
Australia had a very Strong Pub Rock Scene and these Australian bands were forged in that crucible if you could not hold an audience you did not get far other bands included The Angels , Midnight Oil, Australian Crawl, Mondo Rock, Hodoo Gurus, Spy V's Spy, Paul Kelly, Hunters and Collectors, INXS ETC
You want rock with energy? Check out midnight oil stand in line live
Jimmy pissed alot of his money up against the dam wall, that is for sure.
Jimmy’s brother in law doesn’t go too bad either!
