Delta Goodrem, Guy Sebastian, Kelly Rowland, Boy George - all sang together for the Voice, "In The Air Tonight" Phil Collins cover, do yourself a favour.
Hi, please take into account that Jimmy's voice has developed beautifully over the last 20ish years. In his younger, Cold Chisel days, when they had finally hit success after years of pub gigs, Jimmy was an alcoholic and drinking on stage and yeah, his voice did come across as screamy in some songs, so I think this is where some of your commenters are referencing from. They have not listened to older, more bluesy, more voice controlled Jimmy, who is a long time sober and beautiful family man. He has written a book about his life which I have not yet read. He grew up here in Adelaide, in a tough, low income area called Elizabeth. Hope this helps understand the screamy comments... Hugs!! Oh, and keep in mind he is 65! He started performing in 1973.
@@chisel83 Hey! Great name! I didn't mean to come across as critical. I love Jimmy's voice, actually appreciating it even more since watching some of these reaction vids. I guess I was trying to give a condensed reason as to why some people use the screaming term, as he mentions it every time he reacts to a Jimmy song. Cheers!
I was so lucky to grow up in an era where I could see these guys on Friday night, INXS on sat night, midnight oil the next weekend followed by the angels, hoodoo gurus, dragon, mentals, hunters and collectors and on it goes. You should also check out Jimmy Barnes brother John swan who performed as Swanee
His daughter Mahalia is literally the female version of Jimmy. She is the most underrated female Australian singer behind the Bull sisters, Linda and Vika.
Jimmy's voice is home to me, if I hear him when I'm over seas I get a bit teary. It hits you right on the chest and covers your body in goose bumps, it's beautiful.
Ian Moss on guitar is a great in his own way, guitar and vocals. He sings lead on part or all on quite a lot of Chisel stuff. The whole Cold Chisel band is great. Every member of the band wrote a song that was a hit record at least in Australia. The US record companies couldn’t do anything with Cold Chisel. Amazing hey?
The US Promoter asked them if they wanted a convertible Cadillac to cruise around in, them asked if they needed any coke or other substances, they said maybe later, what gigs and radio interviews have you got lined up? Promoter only had a small community country and western station booked out in the back blocks who weren't interested in rocking blues. So they basically packed up and came home. I see that trip as a wasted opportunity where they could have done a road trip and played a few dive bars, they did learn their learn their craft in the wild bars of Oz, and I reckon quite a few people would have spread the word pretty quickly over there.
@@stevegraham3817 I think the most highlighted Chisel song with Mossy singing would be “Georgia”. There must be live versions of that floating around YT
I've argued this man is not screaming all my life. He is a legend vocalist and always was. A funny thing I noticed over the years was some of them people calling him a screamer would listen to Tina Turnner and injoy it lol. Yet another amazing vocalist. Long live Jimmy
We all know how good John Farnham is...but when people ask him who he considers to be THE best blues singer in the world he names Jimmy every time. The mutual respect between the two of them is what warms aussie hearts. Thank you for showcasing our legends and kudos to Mark for reaching out to thank you on our behalf ! Our premier artists are loved mainly because of how humble they've remained regardless of all their successes.
It is very cool for me, as an Australian, to share with you. We grew up and heard American music, and love it. Great pub rock Aussie bands have been legendary for us for decades. They rarely got heard in the US. So this is so cool, thanks to the internet and You tube. Cold Chisel comprised great singers and song writers. ✨💖
Jimmy, Ian Moss and Don Walker all sang for Cold Chisel. Jimmy dominated but the talent as songwriters and musicians was in every member. Ian went on in a successful solo career. There was a pool of talent within and around the Barnes family that is astonishing.
@@ThatSingerReactions Oh yeah you need to do some Australian Crawl. The lead singer, James Reyne, has one of the most unusual voices ever. I would start with "Reckless" or "Downhearted"
As an Aussie who grew up in the 80s and 90s, jimmys voice is like a comfort blanket that feels so calming and familiar 💞 love watching other people react to it! New sub here!
Love how you explained the technicalities of vocal techniques & range, versus "screaming"... I appreciated that, because Jimmy has been vilified pretty much his whole career for "screaming" but I always wondered how it could be screaming when it was so tonefilled and tuneful...so I truly appreciated you explaining tge technical part of that because I learnt how to defend him now I love how this band has matured over the years...
and just for fun after doing that, listen to Adam Hills singing Advance Australia Fair to it's tune :) He'd probably really appreciate it, given how much he loves Barnsey
I grew up with, and loved Cold Chisel and John Farnham. Only recently have I truly listened to, and appreciated how special their voices are. Your reactions are awesome brother.. love it!
Cold Chisel is my youth. I love these guys so much, so many of their songs, and many of the songs from Jimmy’s solo career bring back memories. Keep up the great reactions, I’d rather see a reactor pausing and critiquing than just listening and giving a superficial opinion. Peace.
The song though... written by Steve Prestwich, is extraordinary and suits Barnesy and Mossy perfectly ! Showcases both their talents, and is one of the most emotional songs I’ve ever heard
When the War is Over is such a powerful song and has lyrics that actually mean something. Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes voices compliment each other so well and convey the emotion of this song. PS: I love watching your reactions to these music icons of Australia 🇦🇺👍🏻
Thanks for saying that about the scream or lack thereof. jimmy a sweet tears in his voice. I have tears when I hear him being recognized correctly. Thanks for the respect. Just saying when Jimmy comes in on Bow River , it strips paint and thrills me EACH time! Try it! Bow River. Sheer Brilliance
@@ThatSingerReactions it's funny you mention gospel, because this song in particular IS Aussie gospel, at Chisel concerts it is honestly like being taken to a spiritual place, everyone is always crying. And when in pubs and everyone has had a drink, we will all hug strangers and shed a tear too.....it's such a special song. Cold Chisel in general has that effect on Australians. LOVVVEEE watching you discover them and Barnsey! he is our national love and got me through hard times xx
@@ThatSingerReactions Ian Moss is a phenomenal singer and guitarist. Check out one of his solo hits ‘Tucker’s Daughter’. I had the privilege of seeing Cold Chisel live and Ian and Jimmy singing When the war is over literally had me in tears it was so moving.
@@ThatSingerReactions If you thought Ian Moss had a good voice in When The War is Over … do a reaction on this - th-cam.com/video/NhFXjzRRv4w/w-d-xo.html. And to think he’s also one of the very, very best guitarists Australia has ever produced too. Crazy all round talent 😍
My parents grew up with the chisel boys. Elizabeth South Australia. I grew up with them practising in my Aunties lounge room. My uncles brother Steve Prestwich (the chisel drummer) wrote this song and many others. He past away a few years back and it warms my heart that you enjoy it.
Cold chisel are the the roots of Aussie music of the 80s. They each are great musicians and deserve individual respect… thank you for review this song…..
Man it just gives you chills listening to mossy and barnsey belt this tune together, and the live versions feel so much more than the album version did! But damn just growing up listening to this and other Jimmy and cold chisel with mossy was a good introduction to rock music
Ian Moss definitely flew under the radar, well, globally anyway. When Chisel folded he packed his bags for Europe, brought his backpack and an acoustic and busked around Europe. He was spotted by Aussies busking in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen and Brussels. Amazing guy.
Just found your channel dude and I’m hooked 👌 As an Aussie living overseas I absolutely love when you do Australian bands and artists! My wife’s uncle Steve wrote this song. Steve Prestwich was the drummer for Chisel but sadly passed away from complications in surgery. Cold Chisel live gigs were seriously hard to beat. Thanks for putting these vids together 🙏
John has the voice of an Angel. Jimmys voice erupts out of the bowels of hell. Neither can touch each other its like comparing apples and oranges. Ian Moss is the first one to sing and was singing on a lot of Chisel songs my favourite of which is Bow River. Also had a solo career and is probably most well known for his song Tuckers Daughter
I grew up listening to these guys. Watched them more than once in venues with less than 500 people. Aussies grew up with this like we grew up with vegemite. It blows my mind that the rest of the world are only just catching on.
Jimmy Barnes has the most insane voice I've ever heard and I love everything he sings ... and his whole family is singers or musicians . His son is insane on the drums !
Cold Chisel- the pioneers and kings of Australian pub rock. Haters, your opinions mean dick. These guys are rock Gods here in Australia. Thanks for coming 🇦🇺
I'm really enjoying your reactions to all of the Aussie artists but especially John and Jimmy. I'm British and live in the uk and I've been a massive fan of both of them since the 1980s and 90s, and it's so good that you can also see what me and everybody else has seen in both of them for decades
Got to see cold chisel uk tour up in Manchester 2012, and barnsey solo tour 2001 in Birmingham, lived in Australia in the early 80s, where I got to go to my first gigs, inxs, midnight oil, rose tattoo, ect..great memories, ..favourite chisel album? , East, 🇭🇲🎸
The first singer is Ian Moss, the guitarist from Cold Chisel and a music legend in his own right. This song is one of the band's best - and one of the best rock ballads of all time. You should check out the original recorded version to appreciate the full emotion of the song.
Ian Moss could sing for Australia, and then he plays guitar like a cross of Hendrix, Beck and Wes.. That original Circus Animals arrangement is still the best. I love how when they play it now, Charlie Drayton doesn't drum on it, but sits with the guys up the front with a shaker out of respect to Steve Prestwich. Steve was doing just that in the clip here RIP
The thing about Jimmy that blows me away is his excellent family history. You know a bloke is a champ when his extended family (including Mark/Diesel), Mahalia, David Campbell, and others are also so well grounded, talented, and loving.
80s and 90s pub rock in Australia is an era that will never be repeated or seen again. Thankful I got to see nearly all of them live. Great times and memories
Let then come for you sir ! This man and this band with these lyrics is off the charts ! We have reached the top of the mountain brother ! This is the top, and their is only a few here ! peace n love from down under brother !
Omg this takes me back, Ian Moss in his own right is an extraordinary artist, thank you bro you are awesome, your understanding of music and voices has even opened my eyes and I thank you sir, and don’t think for a second I don’t see those tears well up in those eyes sometimes when you hear a voice like that, as I do
Also off topic, I highly suggest you watch Jimmy Barnes’ movie about his life called the working class boy. in the movie he covers a lot of his songs with his children and other Australian artists such as diesel and his band members in cold chisel. It is incredibly heartbreaking movie but so well done. He has written two Best seller books.
My cousin met Diesel when he was at the height of popularity in Australia when she was a receptionist at his record company around 30 years ago. She told me he was so humble and nice!
Ian Moss did a frighteningly great rendition of an American classic: Georgia. Ian Moss on vocal and lead guitar, accompanied by piano. Barking Spiders Live.
info for you: Cold Chisel's origins stem back to Adelaide in 1973, originally named Orange, the band started out as a heavy metal cover band consisting of bassist Les Kaczmarek, keyboardist Don Walker, guitarist Ian Moss and drummer Steve Prestwich. Jimmy Barnes was 16 when he joined the group Cold Chisel soon after the original members and Jimmy became their lead singer. Cold Chisel are an Australian pub rock band, which formed in Adelaide in 1973 by mainstay members Ian Moss on guitar and vocals, Steve Prestwich on drums and Don Walker on piano and keyboards. They were soon joined by Jimmy Barnes on lead vocals and, in 1975, Phil Small became their bass guitarist. The group disbanded in late 1983 but subsequently reformed several times. Musicologist Ian McFarlane wrote that they became "one of Australia's best-loved groups" as well as "one of the best live bands", fusing "a combination of rockabilly, hard rock and rough-house soul'n'blues that was defiantly Australian in outlook." Eight of their studio albums have reached the Australian top five, Breakfast at Sweethearts (February 1979), East (June 1980), Circus Animals (March 1982, No. 1), Twentieth Century (April 1984, No. 1), The Last Wave of Summer (October 1998, No. 1), No Plans (April 2012), The Perfect Crime (October 2015) and Blood Moon (December 2019, No. 1). Their top 10 singles are "Forever Now" (1982), "Hands Out of My Pocket" (1994) and "The Things I Love in You" (1998). At the ARIA Music Awards of 1993 they were inducted into the Hall of Fame. In 2001 Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), listed their single, "Khe Sanh" (May 1978), at No. 8 of the all-time best Australian songs. Circus Animals was listed at No. 4 in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums (October 2010), while East appeared at No. 53. They won The Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music at the APRA Music Awards of 2016. Cold Chisel's popularity is largely restricted to Australia and New Zealand, with their songs and musicianship highlighting working class life. Their early bass guitarist (1973-75), Les Kaczmarek, died in December 2008; Steve Prestwich died of a brain tumour in January 2011. Place Musical Career Began: Adelaide Musical Genres: Rock music Record Labels: Warner Music Group James (Jimmy) Dixon Barnes of Glasgow via Adelaide was just 16 when he joined the band Cold Chisel in 1973. The combination of 14 Australian Top 40 albums for Cold Chisel and 13 charting solo albums, including 17 No. 1s, gives Jimmy Barnes the highest number of hit albums of any Australian or international artist in the Australian market.
So happy that Diesel sent you a message 👍👍. Love your passion and your voice is awesome too...love to hear your songs and voice in full flight 💪 Your reactions are so good...ya crack me up 😂😛 Keep em coming mate 🙏
Ian Moss and Jimmy compliment each others voices so much. It's almost yin to yang. For that song to sound so aesthetically pleasing it's Mossy's low, to Jimmy's harmonies that make that song truly hauntingly beautiful. Let's also give credit to Don Walker, an absolute guru and storyteller. No one writes lyrics like him. He had the ability to truly encapsulate Australian history. I can't believe I live in the same timeline as Cold Chisel.
Im so glad i fell down the rabbit hole and found your channel! Growing up in the 80s and 90s in Australia had immense homegrown musical richness. It warms my heart to see your reactions to these iconic artists and songs. Thank you.
I remember hearing in the 90s that Jimmy got his throat checked out for damage. Turns out it was fine, 100% because he sings properly. The lubrication from all that vodka probably helped too.
I never had much time for Jimmy Barnes until someone on a live tv show asked him to sing Khe Sanh. With no band and no music he just ripped it out and I've loved him ever since.
You know what you're talking about, you feel what you hear and you mean what you say. I can see why Diesel likes you, Man. On the video, yep. The Cold Chisel boys have some amazing voices... and you got some notes yourself there, good Sir
Hey my request here. I know you did this song with Jimmy & Farnham, but I reckon it was a trash effort from Jimmy in that song. To me, this is how the song is supposed to be performed, as incredible as Farnham is, Ian Mosses vocals on this song are absolute perfection. There's a vulnerability to them that just didn't carry over. Then Jimmy comes and kicks the walls down. There's a girl in the audience there (the one that screams at the end), you can see how moved she is by it. She wouldn't even have been born when the song came out. Cold Chisel is part of the Australian fabric. Those 11 minutes waiting for the 4 minute mark of the song had me giggling.
It's Ian Moss, there's two singers in it. Ian Moss is also a very good singer. His song Tuckers daughter is good but he hasn't had anywhere near the success Jimmy has had. lmfao I feel like I am responding too much but this is the last one, I am going to address 7:24 .. I could send you 100 tracks where he belts over E5 in chest, the Tina video as I said has a pretty much 90% pure chest f5, which is the note Tina gives a thumbs up to, but I could send you way too many videos. The difference is that Jimmy's voice is heavy, and generally speaking heavy, dramatic voices need to thin a lot more in the chest to hit the notes. The f5 in the Tina video though, is pretty much all in chest. Obviously, you'd pick Johny to cover the high notes in a tenor/tenor duet but he has a light, more agile voice, and he thins a lot faster. Also the thing is with Jimmy's rasp.I have mentioned this before hand, he has cleaner notes in his youth before he started doing drugs; it then developed into the rasp you heard on the Tina video,and then it developed to the harsh drill like sound; and not to say he 'a rock star' doesn't scream on occasions like every other rock star, but he belted a G5 in the bside of 'Boys cry out for war' that is crystal clear, even by John Farnham standards; so the haters can't tarnish his vocal ability because he had Crystal clear belts in his prime from 1978 - 1984 era.
Queen - All band members wrote #1 hits! Cold Chisel - Al band members wrote #1 hits! Both bands decided to attribute songwriting to the entire band after that! Massive Respect!!!!!
His powerful voice is something above all something. Awesome to listen to and grown up with this legend. Australia's 2nd national anthem is sung by Jimmy.

Cold chisel are the the roots of Aussie music of the 80s. They each are great musicians and deserve individual respect… thank you for review this song…..
Man it just gives you chills listening to mossy and barnsey belt this tune together, and the live versions feel so much more than the album version did! But damn just growing up listening to this and other Jimmy and cold chisel with mossy was a good introduction to rock music
"How can I go home and not get blown away" ....... very powerful!
Jimmy can certainly hit some high notes (off the charts).. what a legend
Ian Moss definitely flew under the radar, well, globally anyway. When Chisel folded he packed his bags for Europe, brought his backpack and an acoustic and busked around Europe. He was spotted by Aussies busking in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen and Brussels. Amazing guy.
The look on your face when jimmy comes in, is just the best and is exactly how I feel as well. Love your work buddy
Just found your channel dude and I’m hooked 👌
As an Aussie living overseas I absolutely love when you do Australian bands and artists!
My wife’s uncle Steve wrote this song. Steve Prestwich was the drummer for Chisel but sadly passed away from complications in surgery.
Cold Chisel live gigs were seriously hard to beat.
Thanks for putting these vids together 🙏
John has the voice of an Angel. Jimmys voice erupts out of the bowels of hell. Neither can touch each other its like comparing apples and oranges.
Ian Moss is the first one to sing and was singing on a lot of Chisel songs my favourite of which is Bow River. Also had a solo career and is probably most well known for his song Tuckers Daughter
Jimmy can sing clean as a whistle when he chooses. But the soul.
This make me a proud Aussie!! I grew up listening to Jimmy. True Legend
Cold Chisel. The soundtrack of my life. The good, the bad and the ugly. Loved your reaction mate.
well said mate, many with you in that boat 👍
I'm reliving my childhood through your videos! Thank you for showcasing our brilliant Aussie singers!
Your expert analysis is so cool . Jimmy doesn’t scream … octave is incredible ❤🇦🇺 love your shows mate .. Usa/oz/uk music rocks ❤
I grew up listening to these guys. Watched them more than once in venues with less than 500 people. Aussies grew up with this like we grew up with vegemite. It blows my mind that the rest of the world are only just catching on.
Ian Moss - another iconic Australian musician.
Jimmy Barnes has the most insane voice I've ever heard and I love everything he sings ... and his whole family is singers or musicians . His son is insane on the drums !
It’s fantastic that you are recognising the amazing talent we have here in Australia 🇦🇺
I truly love how you smile when jimmy barns is singing, and a lot of people here say he is screaming, but he is singing
Love seeing Aussie artists getting the recognition they deserve. Jimmy's voice always gives me goosebumps.Thankyou💜💜
Cold Chisel- the pioneers and kings of Australian pub rock. Haters, your opinions mean dick. These guys are rock Gods here in Australia. Thanks for coming 🇦🇺
I'm really enjoying your reactions to all of the Aussie artists but especially John and Jimmy.
I'm British and live in the uk and I've been a massive fan of both of them since the 1980s and 90s, and it's so good that you can also see what me and everybody else has seen in both of them for decades
Got to see cold chisel uk tour up in Manchester 2012, and barnsey solo tour 2001 in Birmingham, lived in Australia in the early 80s, where I got to go to my first gigs, inxs, midnight oil, rose tattoo, ect..great memories, ..favourite chisel album? , East, 🇭🇲🎸
My favourite band of all time... Jimmy and Ian's contrasting voices is an unprecendented experience
I’ve seen this song live and the stadium was silent you could hear a pin drop. They NAILED it, chills chills chills. I’ll never forget it
Great song written by the great Steve Prestwich RIP Steve
The first singer is Ian Moss, the guitarist from Cold Chisel and a music legend in his own right. This song is one of the band's best - and one of the best rock ballads of all time. You should check out the original recorded version to appreciate the full emotion of the song.
Ian Moss could sing for Australia, and then he plays guitar like a cross of Hendrix, Beck and Wes..
That original Circus Animals arrangement is still the best. I love how when they play it now, Charlie Drayton doesn't drum on it, but sits with the guys up the front with a shaker out of respect to Steve Prestwich. Steve was doing just that in the clip here RIP
Ian Miss is just brilliant 😍
The thing about Jimmy that blows me away is his excellent family history. You know a bloke is a champ when his extended family (including Mark/Diesel), Mahalia, David Campbell, and others are also so well grounded, talented, and loving.
80s and 90s pub rock in Australia is an era that will never be repeated or seen again. Thankful I got to see nearly all of them live. Great times and memories
Let then come for you sir ! This man and this band with these lyrics is off the charts !
We have reached the top of the mountain brother ! This is the top, and their is only a few here !
peace n love from down under brother !
Omg this takes me back, Ian Moss in his own right is an extraordinary artist, thank you bro you are awesome, your understanding of music and voices has even opened my eyes and I thank you sir, and don’t think for a second I don’t see those tears well up in those eyes sometimes when you hear a voice like that, as I do
Can’t help but cry when I’ve seen them sing this song live.
Jimmy don't need no music behind him, this guy has such soul coming in from everywhere. Man he has so much power he distorts the speakers!
Also off topic, I highly suggest you watch Jimmy Barnes’ movie about his life called the working class boy. in the movie he covers a lot of his songs with his children and other Australian artists such as diesel and his band members in cold chisel. It is incredibly heartbreaking movie but so well done. He has written two Best seller books.
Everyone identifies Jimmy as the singer in Cold Chisel but when you see them live, you realise Mossy sings half of the songs.
My cousin met Diesel when he was at the height of popularity in Australia when she was a receptionist at his record company around 30 years ago. She told me he was so humble and nice!
Ian Moss did a frighteningly great rendition of an American classic: Georgia. Ian Moss on vocal and lead guitar, accompanied by piano. Barking Spiders Live.
Love your respect... and he is one of the greatest.. bro I'm crying here. 🥲😍
info for you:
Cold Chisel's origins stem back to Adelaide in 1973, originally named Orange, the band started out as a heavy metal cover band consisting of bassist Les Kaczmarek, keyboardist Don Walker, guitarist Ian Moss and drummer Steve Prestwich.
Jimmy Barnes was 16 when he joined the group Cold Chisel soon after the original members and Jimmy became their lead singer.
Cold Chisel are an Australian pub rock band, which formed in Adelaide in 1973 by mainstay members Ian Moss on guitar and vocals, Steve Prestwich on drums and Don Walker on piano and keyboards. They were soon joined by Jimmy Barnes on lead vocals and, in 1975, Phil Small became their bass guitarist. The group disbanded in late 1983 but subsequently reformed several times.
Musicologist Ian McFarlane wrote that they became "one of Australia's best-loved groups" as well as "one of the best live bands", fusing "a combination of rockabilly, hard rock and rough-house soul'n'blues that was defiantly Australian in outlook."
Eight of their studio albums have reached the Australian top five, Breakfast at Sweethearts (February 1979), East (June 1980), Circus Animals (March 1982, No. 1), Twentieth Century (April 1984, No. 1), The Last Wave of Summer (October 1998, No. 1), No Plans (April 2012), The Perfect Crime (October 2015) and Blood Moon (December 2019, No. 1). Their top 10 singles are "Forever Now" (1982), "Hands Out of My Pocket" (1994) and "The Things I Love in You" (1998).
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1993 they were inducted into the Hall of Fame. In 2001 Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), listed their single, "Khe Sanh" (May 1978), at No. 8 of the all-time best Australian songs. Circus Animals was listed at No. 4 in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums (October 2010), while East appeared at No. 53. They won The Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music at the APRA Music Awards of 2016. Cold Chisel's popularity is largely restricted to Australia and New Zealand, with their songs and musicianship highlighting working class life. Their early bass guitarist (1973-75), Les Kaczmarek, died in December 2008; Steve Prestwich died of a brain tumour in January 2011.
Place Musical Career Began: Adelaide
Musical Genres: Rock music
Record Labels: Warner Music Group
James (Jimmy) Dixon Barnes of Glasgow via Adelaide was just 16 when he joined the band Cold Chisel in 1973.
The combination of 14 Australian Top 40 albums for Cold Chisel and 13 charting solo albums, including 17 No. 1s, gives Jimmy Barnes the highest number of hit albums of any Australian or international artist in the Australian market.
Ian Moss & Jimmy Barnes were meant to meet & be in Cold Chisel. Their voices compliment one another so much.
So happy that Diesel sent you a message 👍👍.
Love your passion and your voice is awesome too...love to hear your songs and voice in full flight 💪
Your reactions are so good...ya crack me up 😂😛
Keep em coming mate 🙏
Ian Moss and Jimmy compliment each others voices so much. It's almost yin to yang. For that song to sound so aesthetically pleasing it's Mossy's low, to Jimmy's harmonies that make that song truly hauntingly beautiful. Let's also give credit to Don Walker, an absolute guru and storyteller. No one writes lyrics like him. He had the ability to truly encapsulate Australian history. I can't believe I live in the same timeline as Cold Chisel.
Yep, Dons solo stuff is the shit. As is the Tex and Charlie.
Thank you for reviewing this! Most people don’t realize just how good Jimmy was at harmonies as well! Your reaction at 10:55 was priceless.
Im so glad i fell down the rabbit hole and found your channel! Growing up in the 80s and 90s in Australia had immense homegrown musical richness. It warms my heart to see your reactions to these iconic artists and songs. Thank you.
I remember hearing in the 90s that Jimmy got his throat checked out for damage. Turns out it was fine, 100% because he sings properly. The lubrication from all that vodka probably helped too.
Great comments on Jimmie’s voice, man!
Jimmy is a fan of Jackie Wilson and Mahalia Jackson and named two of his children after them. You can hear his influences in his amazing vocals.
I never had much time for Jimmy Barnes until someone on a live tv show asked him to sing Khe Sanh. With no band and no music he just ripped it out and I've loved him ever since.
Cold chisel would always close out their set with “Goodbye Astrid”. Just madness.
You know what you're talking about, you feel what you hear and you mean what you say. I can see why Diesel likes you, Man.
On the video, yep. The Cold Chisel boys have some amazing voices... and you got some notes yourself there, good Sir
Hey my request here. I know you did this song with Jimmy & Farnham, but I reckon it was a trash effort from Jimmy in that song. To me, this is how the song is supposed to be performed, as incredible as Farnham is, Ian Mosses vocals on this song are absolute perfection. There's a vulnerability to them that just didn't carry over.
Then Jimmy comes and kicks the walls down. There's a girl in the audience there (the one that screams at the end), you can see how moved she is by it. She wouldn't even have been born when the song came out.
Cold Chisel is part of the Australian fabric.
Those 11 minutes waiting for the 4 minute mark of the song had me giggling.
I often wonder where that blondie is now.
Your reaction at 10:50 is wonderful and why I love your videos. That and you're giving our Aussie stars a new platform.
One of the greatest voices..ever!
Ian Moss is a legend here in Australia too. Especially here in the Northern Territory where he is from.
It's Ian Moss, there's two singers in it. Ian Moss is also a very good singer. His song Tuckers daughter is good but he hasn't had anywhere near the success Jimmy has had. lmfao I feel like I am responding too much but this is the last one, I am going to address 7:24 .. I could send you 100 tracks where he belts over E5 in chest, the Tina video as I said has a pretty much 90% pure chest f5, which is the note Tina gives a thumbs up to, but I could send you way too many videos. The difference is that Jimmy's voice is heavy, and generally speaking heavy, dramatic voices need to thin a lot more in the chest to hit the notes. The f5 in the Tina video though, is pretty much all in chest. Obviously, you'd pick Johny to cover the high notes in a tenor/tenor duet but he has a light, more agile voice, and he thins a lot faster. Also the thing is with Jimmy's rasp.I have mentioned this before hand, he has cleaner notes in his youth before he started doing drugs; it then developed into the rasp you heard on the Tina video,and then it developed to the harsh drill like sound; and not to say he 'a rock star' doesn't scream on occasions like every other rock star, but he belted a G5 in the bside of 'Boys cry out for war' that is crystal clear, even by John Farnham standards; so the haters can't tarnish his vocal ability because he had Crystal clear belts in his prime from 1978 - 1984 era.
Ian moss. One of the most underrated songwriters and guitarists ever.
no lie detected
Queen - All band members wrote #1 hits!
Cold Chisel - Al band members wrote #1 hits!
Both bands decided to attribute songwriting to the entire band after that!
Massive Respect!!!!!
You’re on your way to becoming an honorary Aussie🦘🐨🇦🇺
So happy to see an American respect true Aussie icons.... Especially this American, he's great and knows what he's talking about. Respect man!
His powerful voice is something above all something. Awesome to listen to and grown up with this legend. Australia's 2nd national anthem is sung by Jimmy.
