Fun Facts - Johnny Diesel, who's real name is - Mark Denis Lizotte, was actually born in Fall River, Massachusetts, in May 1966! He emigrated to Australia in 1971 at the age of 5 with his parents. He was 23yo when he released this song in 1989. The song peaked at Number 10 on the Australian Singles charts. This was the third single release from their debut album, 'Johnny Diesel & The Injectors', which peaked at Number 2 on the Australian Album charts. 'Crying In Shame' also became their third consecutive Top 10 single from the album. The album was actually recorded in Memphis, Tennessee. Oh and Jimmy Barnes is his brother in law!
Also in Australia in those days Albums were more important than singles, bands and singers wanted to sell albums, not songs, and thats also what we wanted to buy. I have bought hundreds of Albums over the years, not until ipods did I ever buy a single.
Ive been a Jonny Diesel fan since , shellharbour workers concert in 1980 something.Was blown away when he stepped on stage and started performing I'd never seen someone sing with such abandon.I was about 18❤,He actually asked to buy me a beer,that night......had a huge crush ever since.
Johnny Diesel is without a doubt the most under achieving artist from Australia. He truly should have taken the world by storm. Aussie legend but should have been renown all over the world big time
I’ve seen Diesel play live many times and besides having one of our best voices he is also one of our best guitarists. And the bloke is so brilliant he never plays the same song the same way twice. Constantly improvising at high speed. Just genius to watch and listen to. I think our youtuber would enjoy the deep soul of ‘Come to Me’.
Totally. I've paid to watch him where ever I've lived as often as possible, never sounds the same. Probably more of a "musician" as such than even Jimmy Barnes & John Farnham. A one man show with a zillion guitars.
You should also look up Powderfinger one of the top 5 bands from Australia best songs are "these days" , "on the day you come" and "my happiness" worth it, they always make me happy when I feeling like crap. Love your Channel keep up the good work and stay safe.
I first saw Powderfinger live when they supported Pantera in '94. They only had their EP out at that point, and a friend of mine owned it. So he was probably the only person in the crowd singing along to their songs.
Another of our great Aussie artists. Check out John Farnham doing Led Zeppelins “Black Dog”. It shows another aspect of what his voice can do. It’s awesome.👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Yes you are right . He was the Jesse of Full House here in Oz. I had a scrapbook of him , we were going to marry but he missed the memo 🤷🏻♀️ But I’ve been lucky to see him in small venues and his talent kicks the roof off of those. So he also did an amazing cover which was on the movie the Delinquents (feat Kylie Minogue) it was called Please Send Me Somebody To Love. You’ll love it 🥰
Oh and one more thing. A lot of the songs from Australia that you have reviewed may not have done well in the charts internationally BUT it’s all about the staying power. We still listen to these songs 30 years later and appreciate them more with every listen.
You're becoming a national treasure yourself Mr Singer reactor...love your enthusiasm and chatter! Hope you feel better very soon! Much love from New Zealand!!
I know right? I live in Hastings, New Zealand and have watched a lot of his reactions especially with Farnsey and Barnsey. So cool. Love your reaction @thatsingerreaction. Go Aussie music ICONS.
@@Csasil that's exactly what I mean. Trying to give kudos to great talent in new Zealand. But I made the fatal mistake of trying to engage with brain-dead youtubers. At the end of the day it's just not that important. They are all mere entertainers.
I'm perfectly fine. Thanks. Just bored with covid bullshit. Too much time on here. My father always said never argue with an idiot or a teenage girl. Cause they are the same and you cannot win. A bit like Bible bashers. Best just to kill them. It's always worked for me.🤪
@@Pointless-fishing-adventures and what better song to show how good he is is this one th-cam.com/video/NhFXjzRRv4w/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=EternalPictures
Johnny is soo great live! I seen him at Central coast leagues club Sydney in late 1980s, and OMG he blew us away!! Looks like the young Jonny Depp too😍🇦🇺 Thank god Jimmy Barnes found him 👍
When o first saw Diesel at a local pub playing with his band he was 16 and the band had to smuggle him in before the gig and out the back door straight after! He was fire at sixteen and just keeps getting better and better!💕When it released it peaked and no 10 in the charts severely underrated should have been No 1 for sure but has lasted better than a lot of those above it!
Loved your reaction...as always!💖 This is my first time hearing him without Farnsey & Barnsey! I love hearing Johnny with them & really love him here, his voice AND his look!😍 John Farnham is beautiful inside & out! "Johnny Diesel" looks cute & innocent with a dash of "bad boy", but I love it!!!😍 😁I'm 100% patriotic American, but most of my VERY favorite singers & groups are all Aussies: John, Jimmy, Johnny, the REAL Little River Band, Bee Gees & more!
Diesel and Jimmy Barnes are actually brother's in law, and have done a lot of over the years together. Diesel is a very accomplished songwriter and guitarist above all else and has so many songs to his credit.
I lined up for 2hrs at a shopping centre back in the early 90’s to get his autograph on his record!! He was gorgeous 🥰 P.S I’m loving this journey you’re on 🇦🇺
Aussie's will sing this at a Pub (Bar) together whenever it comes on. Its like a Bruce Springsteen moment in USA. Love your vids and your honesty. You really are real and Aussie's respect that. We dont like to be coddled.
I remember buying Johnny"s album when I was 15 years old and yes, I thought he was a beautiful looking man...more importantly, he could play a mean guitar and his voice has oodles of soul! I only discovered you tonight but your love for our Aussie talent has me hooked :)
"Cry in Shame" was released as the band's third single from their debut album Johnny Diesel and the Injectors in April 1989 and peaked at 10 in Australia, becoming the band's third top 10 single. I still love the song and am so greatful you have reacted to it. I still remember ever lyric, which surprised me! He still does the occasional appearance in my local music hall.
I have seen Johnny Diesel 6 or 7 times in my life over 25 years... from the early days with The Injectors to initimate soul performances... from big concerts to small dinghy pub rooms... and he is brilliant!
This still gets a lot of airplay on triple M rock radio here in Australia. A lot of saxophone in 80s Aussie rock. John Farnham, Diesel, INXS, Icehouse. All a lot of brass lol 👍🏻
Mark Lizotte aka Diesel aka Johnny Diesel, was about 23 when he released this song in '89. He was the songwriter, and the song reached #10 in the charts here, I think.
@@alliwalmsley3304 damn !! cant cop that - the guy is one of our best guitarists ever. He is a *great* singer. Blues, rock, soul. What the heck do you want alli ?? Ur a hard marker !
The first album Deisel released (titled "johnny deisel and the injectors") was played to death by me, every single song is AMAZING. i STILL play it a lot these days! one of my favourite albums ever.
Diesel (also known as Mark Lizotte) is also Jimmy Barnes Brother in law. Seen them both many times, and together on the Soul Deep tour - both brilliant!!
Would love for you to react to the song 'Flame Trees' by Cold Chisel (Jimmy Barnes) and a cover of the same song by another Australian singer Jessica Mauboy (Live performance version). Truly beautiful song and voices 👌.
'the most soul from Australia' WOW that is a compliment!! I think its because we were just thrown down here as prisoners and had to make it on our own with no help (all my ancestors are Irish convicts), and then were used in wars by the British and Americans and lost entire generations, and our weather is so harsh, we are used to such suffering....we have had to always band together, music and sport has been that those two things for us. Love that an American can recognise that in us xxx
Diesel was the first concert I ever went to back in1989. I’m from Perth, Western Australia and was 15yo at the time. His debut album was one of the first I ever bought and still love the album today. Funny thing is, about 6 months after, I discovered hip hop music and that started my life long love of old school rap. Love what you do. Cheers from Western Australia brother.
One of my first concerts jan 29 1989 I was 15 saw Johnny diesel and the injectors sunny boys beefeaters noiseworks bombers imaginary boys and was lucky enough to be on shoulders of mate and had Johnny sing I don’t need live inches away from my face😍😍it made my life as a 15 year old country girl
I heard an instrumental he wrote and recorded a long time back. Really is a big talent. That thing was so complex and original. Some kind of tribute to country but modern form hoedown might describe it. Kind of thing you hear it and you want to hear it again and again.
This whole album was played at every event in western Queensland when I was at college, was regularly played as well on all radio stations in the west.
Diesel learnt how to play the guitar from a cello, his father was a music teacher and taught him cello. He spun it sideways and was introduced to guitar. The rest is history, one of the greatest guitarists the world has ever seen. He was found by Jimmy Barnes after his wife saw him front jonny diesel and the injectors. Barnsey asked to lead guitar on his tour and Diesel said only if with can be the warm up band. He came out with the injectors playing left handed guitar, the came out with Barnsey playing right handed guitar. Diesel is a guitar/ musician/ song writing God.
I was in high school at the time, Johnny Diesel and the injectors were pretty high in the charts, I remember he did a publicity show at the local shopping centre and one of the girls in my grade threw herself onto his car...
There are a hell of a lot of Aussie singers that will branch off John and Jimmy. Since I can't get onto your other channels, I am waiting for someone to mention the Jimmy Barnes special of the song Fire And Rain he sung with Marcia Hines, and you going down that endless rabbit hole. Marcia will stun you with her voice. Then Jimmy with his son David Cambell.
Yep! Married an Asian, the sister of Jimmy’s wife! I stayed with Jimmy, Jane, and all their kids at their old Sydney inner city home for quite a few months years ago (friends) cool family! All very musical! 😍🇦🇺
yeah man Diesel, Ian moss very similar, but it seemed like it was endless these aussies were gold for us Kiwis down under, cold chisel, ac/dc so great 80's 90's gold
So glad to see you finally listening to some Diesel. He started out in my local pub in Fremantle waaay back in the early days. Still one of my favourite artists.
My Mum & stepdad saw him about 10yr ago (he goes by the stagename Diesel now. A little older and balder, but no less talented). They reckon it was still an incredible show. The guys voice was still amazing and he can really play the guitar. Was a very nice man too who interacted a lot with the audience.
Really enjoy watching your reactions. You have a genuine love for music, and you just come across as a genuinely decent human. You need to hear the Tesky brothers, the best aussie soul🤓👍
It's time for you to start referring to Farnham as 'Farnsey' and Barnes as 'Barnsey'. You've earnt the right.
^^^ THIS ^^^
Yes!!!! Yes practically one of us now
Agreed and just Diesel will do. 😁
And Ahnsy 🤣🤣🤣
True. He has earned the aright of Passage 👍
Saw johnny diesel and the injectors many times in western Australia in the late 80s. Standing 3 feet from them . Absolutely incredible live act.
Yep! Seen him at central coast leagues Sydney in late 80s too!! Blew us away he’s soo frikkin good😍🇦🇺

10 was same as number 1 for an Aussie, as Yanks had top 10 places for their Music, that's why we needed Countdown and then the Js and Rage
True fan❤
🤘🇦🇺
I thought he was kiwi
Also in Australia in those days Albums were more important than singles, bands and singers wanted to sell albums, not songs, and thats also what we wanted to buy. I have bought hundreds of Albums over the years, not until ipods did I ever buy a single.
Love johnny diesel. Tip of my tongue is my fave song of his.
I agree 💯
Love Tip of my Tongue!
I love soul revival
@@carolynmck6046 Also Love Junk 😚
That’s the only song I know of his, but it’s FIRE🔥
Aussie singers are super underestimated by the rest of the world
And by Aussies because of tall poppy syndrome. Delta being the biggest example.
Johnny Diesel is an adopted Aussie. He was born in the USA.
We produce great frontmen.
Australian artists hit it pretty big in the UK and EU charts but not so much in the US.
@@rottymum9898 lol no they definitely aren't under rated/under estimated by Aussies and noone listens to delta Goodman in Australia

I'm from Canada. I know him. He's a stone cold bad ass rock and roll phenomenon. I saw him in Germany in 1987,,,blew me away.
The dude has so many good songs - Man Alive, Tip Of My Tongue, Never Miss Your Water, All Come Together… One of my fav Aussie singers.
Man alive is sooooo goood
Man Alive. And Love Junk! 💕
All come together is my favourite!
@@happygilbert4972 always my fave of his
“15 feet of snow” has a sublime vocal

Check out John Farnham doing Led Zeppelins “Black Dog”. It shows another aspect of what his voice can do. It’s awesome.👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
He was a very underrated performer by the public but well respected by fellow Australian artists and bands
Yes you are right . He was the Jesse of Full House here in Oz. I had a scrapbook of him , we were going to marry but he missed the memo 🤷🏻♀️
But I’ve been lucky to see him in small venues and his talent kicks the roof off of those.
So he also did an amazing cover which was on the movie the Delinquents (feat Kylie Minogue) it was called Please Send Me Somebody To Love.
You’ll love it 🥰
I 1 when this came out so I wasn't around for the hype. I know this song & Diesel's name, but had never seen him before. Well damn! I get it now.
I think "Tip of my tongue" is the better example of his talent
I honestly wore his CD out and had to buy another - that's HOW much I loved his album and songs!
Diesel is awesome , so bluesy, another Aussie great singer
We ARE SO HAPPY to be keeping you sane! ❤️🌈 Also, so ON POINT! Boys want to be him, women want to be with him 💋
Anyone notice how absolutely professional Australian sound studios and technology was in 70s and 80s? World class!!
My all time favourite, "Come to me" by Johnny Diesel, the 1991 recording - 🥰💜🧡💜🧡
Agreed, such soul in that song.
Ooh yes. Fantastic, will have to go and re aquaint myself with some Diesel... its been a lil while.
YES YES YES!!!!
Me too!! It's my "get me in the mood" song...if you know what I mean lol.
Johnny Diesel was 23 in 1989 and he also got married that year. He has been married to his wife for 32 years this year.
Oh and one more thing. A lot of the songs from Australia that you have reviewed may not have done well in the charts internationally BUT it’s all about the staying power. We still listen to these songs 30 years later and appreciate them more with every listen.
Also. Most might be Aussies, but not born in Aussie..
Not that it matters, they grew in Aussie .👍
Check out INXS - Never tear us apart. Michael was incredible. RIP

Mark Lizotte aka Diesel aka Johnny Diesel, was about 23 when he released this song in '89. He was the songwriter, and the song reached #10 in the charts here, I think.
He’s still performing too and still sounds just as good.
Got my tickets for the Byron Bay Blues Fest with an amazing line up of Aussie artists, including Diesel
Another artist that sounds better live!
He is shit on his own. Sooo disappointed. Gave him 2 opportunities… failed both times- needs his band but no denying he is talented.
@@alliwalmsley3304 damn !! cant cop that - the guy is one of our best guitarists ever. He is a *great* singer. Blues, rock, soul. What the heck do you want alli ??
Ur a hard marker !
This album was my most listened to albums in highschool. Brilliant album all round.
Next you need to look at Jack Jones , from southern sons, who also played guitar for John Farnham ,
Johnny Diesels brother in law is Jimmy Barnes. And Johnny was born in America.
The first album Deisel released (titled "johnny deisel and the injectors") was played to death by me, every single song is AMAZING. i STILL play it a lot these days! one of my favourite albums ever.
Diesel is a muso's muso. Gotta see him live if you ever get the chance. Powerful.
I was so lucky to grow up listening to these guys, Barnsey, Farnsey and Diesel.
Jimmy Barnes' brother in law, they married sisters. Love Johnny, seen him many times live and NEVER disappoints!
I wish I could hear this song again for the first time. I love tip of my tongue and 15 feet of snow by diesel too.
Why would anyone dislike this reaction? 🤦♀️
He is so powerful much like the BOSS Bruce S
Love that you’re discovering Aus singers :)

Love Johnny Diesel, great muso his first album was bloody fantastic!!He was the guitarist for Jimmy Barnes then went solo.
Yeah his voice is exceptional especially when you consider how how young he is here.
I love this song so much, thanks for the reaction!!!
I heard an instrumental he wrote and recorded a long time back. Really is a big talent.
That thing was so complex and original. Some kind of tribute to country but modern form hoedown might describe it.
Kind of thing you hear it and you want to hear it again and again.
Jon Stevens is another Australian artist to check out he's the front man of the band called Noisewoks
Crying shame was a top of the charts song in 89. He has had his share of chart songs over the years here in OZ.
One of my favourite songs from my youth. Your reactions are PRICELESS brother. Much love from Down Under!
Most underrated Aussie singer ever.Brilliant.
Just googled, looks like the song reached number 10 on the ARIA charts (our billboards).
This whole album was played at every event in western Queensland when I was at college, was regularly played as well on all radio stations in the west.

Johnny Diesel and the Injectors playing with Noiseworks at the Shellharbour Workers Club in January 1988. So long ago but still so close in memory.
yeah man Diesel, Ian moss very similar, but it seemed like it was endless these aussies were gold for us Kiwis down under, cold chisel, ac/dc so great 80's 90's gold
So glad to see you finally listening to some Diesel. He started out in my local pub in Fremantle waaay back in the early days. Still one of my favourite artists.

I love Jonny Diesel. Legend.
love him to been to see him live and his play around crn in bano before xmas want to go see him again ,, live is awesome
I bought this on cassette back then. Still got it. Every song on that album was brilliant!
Haha... same here! We'll all be breaking out the cassettes soon! :)
Bunch of us stuck in to a outdoor concert in Nelson Bay NSW some made it some didn't. Great concert, great times generation x knew how to do it.
Loved him in the 80’s and still love him ❤️❤️❤️
I met him with a group for dinner - at the time he was dating Jimmy Barnes sister. Most shy guy I've EVER met!
Michael Paynter with Inxs...Man of Colours (live) outstanding young talent....
