Right there is the golden era of Australian music, Farham, Barnes and Diesel. Never again there will be so much talent in one scenario
Giants in Australian music.
Diesel is huge in Australia.
Diesel is Barnsey's bro-in-law & was a star in his own right. Look for Jimmy Barnes in Cold Chisel
Johnny Diesel and The Injectors
Diesel is the cherry on top of the farnes and Barnes cake..
The median age of the population in Australia is about 38 years old. Farnsy found fame in about 1967 and Barnsy in about 1974. We have, quite literally, grown up listening to these two sing. We thought it was normal.
That guitarist, Mark Lizotte AKA 'Deisel' is a phenomenal singer/song writer in his own right, and one of the most soulful singers on the planet. Definitely worth checking out.
Forgot what he looked like with hair.
The reason this duet/trio works is because there are no egos. It is three great artists bringing out the best in each other. They're not trying to compete and overdoing things.
If you 'dont think you've heard Jimmy before, you definitely havent heard Jimmy before. You do not forget Jimmy.
This is Farnsy’s world, we’re just living in it.
John Farnham been recording and performing in Australia for over 50 years. He has vast experience with stage and live audiences from pubs to concert halls. He is our National Treasure. His immense natural talent and scallywag lovable personality has endeared him to millions. And I am one. He has been declared Cancer cleared recently. God Bless him and his family. He has given so much love from himself to the Australian people. Through good and bad times. Thank you John Farnham. I was 10 when he put out his first single in the 60s called Sadie. My Mum was a cleaning lady and to me as a child this song was recognising my dear Mum for all her hard work. 🩷
I loved it when Jimmy Barnes did all his little family concerts to keep us all entertained during Covid.
Saw them perform on the Gold Coast with a father figure. was definitely a night I'll never forget
I love it when Diesel starts singing. John just holds his microphone for him. I love our Legend. Thank you.
I know they’re all old men now but I find myself crushing on all three of them and their divine voices.
John's range is something that has captivated me since I was 5 years old. I can hit a c5, but he lives up there. His 2 hour concerts are never lower than the recordings, in fact he improvises parts that go much higher than the recordings. He is a true phenomenon. My vocal hero. And he's a great bloke too.
your reactions are almost as pleasurable as watching the performance themselves.
One of your best reactions ever 😊 ❤ John and Jimmy have different voices and different stage presences, but both are very much beloved here in Australia. The guitarist, Diesel, is a blistering singer-songwriter in his own right, and well worth checking out.
Definitely check out Diesel/ Mark Lizotte
@@troyparfitt8451 and he is also Jimmy's brother-in-law..
Crazy version of “Wild Thing” with Jimmy Barnes. I was opening with my band for Cheap Trick here in Oz many years ago and wild thing was coming through the PA at soundcheck, and Robin asked if I knew who the vocalist was? I said, “Barnesy” , and both Robin and Rick, replied with, “Oh you mean god!”
So Jimmy’s reputation had already circulated in industry circles in the US.
I'm a Kiwi and approve of these two singers.
Look for Jimmy's 2 Albums Soul Deep and Soul Deeper....amazing
Man, the Jimmy Barnes rabbit hole is very deep.
From heavy pub rock to blues and power Ballard's he has a career spanning 50 years with cold chisel, and solo. Plus collaboration with INXS, Tina Turner, Joe Bonamasa... No name it!
what I love about this the most is that they both look like they're having the time of their lives. there's so much mutual love and respect.
I remember watching live way back in the 80s. Man, what a time to be alive with such amazing performers at the height of their fame. What a time for Aussie music! I miss those times now so much.
I highly recommend Jimmy Barnes & Tina Turner "Simply The Best" Another amazing duet. Thanks for such an awesome reaction.
I don't care too much for TTs solo version, but the Jb Tt version rocks.
Man ..... that was KILLA, I remember seeing this on Hey Hey when I was a kid.
Me too ❤️👍
You just totally explained every single thing I feel about John Farnham's versatility. When he sings anything he sounds like he was born to sing that genre. And you explained the difference between John's and Jimmy's voices so well. John's is smooth as fine wine and Jimmy's has all the grit and gravel of the best aged whiskey.
The two of them together is soul overload.
Aged whisky? It was rough as guts JD mostly😂
@@elizabethscott7660 I didn't want to ruffle any feathers lol
That is the best analogy I have ever heard for these guys. Totally true. I love it.
The joy they have singing together is wonderful to see.
The twang you hear with Jimmy is his Scottish/Aussie accent coming through, very unique
How is it, that for how good the vocals are - the best part of this is just how much enjoyment they’re having while blowing everyones socks off.
No ear pieces, no auto tune and live, and they sound better than anything from this day and age, the 80's was most definitely the goldern era of music.
It wasn't the 80's......
I will say... that Australian artists are among the best in the world.... they have honed their craft with live performances in pubs, clubs etc. No autotune..... if you can't sing live in Australia you don't make it......Edit... hence why so many international artists don't bother coming here..... we won't put up with their BS
That’s an interesting perspective. You may be right about the live venue blooding of talent. I was totally into the pub scene in the 80’s in Perth, but in the northern suburbs where we didn’t get so many of the bands that went on to make it big, like INXS and AC/DC…public transport from the north was shite, but I do recall seeing them on the gig guide.
A pity that live pub music in Sydney and Melbourne was killed off by NIMBYism.
When you research Jimmy Barnes, he was dual lead singer (with Ian Moss "Mossey to us Aussies") of Cold Chisel ( I would recommend Bow River live at Ringside). For true Barnsey check out Working Class Man.
The guitarist in this, is Johnny Diesel, an accomplished singer, song writer and muso in his own right, and also Jimmy Barnes brother-in-law ( married to beautiful sisters), so you will see Diesel in many Barnsey clips.
A lot of our Aussie singers colab together, so you'll also find Barnsey/Tina Turner, Barnsey/INXS, Farnsey/Olivia NJ, Farnsey/Human Nature, Farnsey/Anthony Warlow, Farnsey/Stevie Wonder and many more.
Loved your reaction xx
Ian Moss is a brilliant singer. The intro to Bow River still gives chills after hearing it a million times!
@@cacklingcrone8119 Depending on which song they're singing, I agree that Mossey's voice can be better, and I love his voice, he just doesn't have the higher range like Barnsey has - both are fantastic in their own lanes
Oh my goodness! I love duets, but I’ve never heard one quite like this, and then to top it off with a trio. And they looked like they were having such a great time. Bethany, you hit the nail… sooo soulful. Thank you! ❤
Jimmy Barnes and Johnny Diesel the guitarist(real name Mark Lazotte) are brother in laws they married sisters. Jimmy and Farnsey go back a long time and are great friends. Jimmy helped Diesel break into Australian music telling him “get off my couch and make your own record, you’re too good to be a session guitarist or bit player, you have it all”. 35 years later they’re all still very close. Was glad to hear the other day Jimmy speaking on local radio that John Farnham was recovering well from mouth cancer and still is hopeful to be able to sing again.
@@GODEES77great news about our Farnsey!!..🙏🙏🙏 for him..Bless.
Jimmy’s Cold Chisel band mate Ian Moss also has a good voice.
They complement each other so well. Check out Cold Chisel - “When the War is Over” or “Bow River” both from the 2003 Ringside tour.
And Saturday Night, one of my favourite Mossy vocals
These 2 have always played so well off each other. Mentioning that growl from Farnham is a perfect example of that play. He can pull that sort of thing off cos it is Barnes he is "playing" with. It is literally like they are having a conversation about what ever life has thrown at them over the last week/month/year since 2 friends last got together for a few drinks.
Jimmy Barnes has such a unique tone to his voice. You could react to Jimmy w/ Joe Bonamassa - Stone Cold - official video, to see him much later in life and see close up shots of him singing in the studio. Or, the duet with INXS - Good Times, for a more upbeat, rocking song.
I remember Cold Chisel singing "Breakfast at Sweethearts" on Countdown and I am not sure Bethany is ready for the wild Jimmy in later Countdown performances :)
Stone Cold is perfect for a reaction.
Yep, Barnes and Bonamassa doing Stone Cold is a bit special . . .
100%
Stone Cold is the boss. Also look for the other JB collaborations such as their cover of Led Zeppain's 'Lazy' ... better than the original (SORRY, BUT IT IS)
John is the best. No doubt about that. Have a listen to him singing “When the war is over” on his last time tour.
Omg yes. Makes me tear up every time ❤❤❤
John's by far the best!
Barnsey, Farnsey and Diesel all being brilliant. Great performance and song.
A techy who worked with Farnsey said he used to blow the mics all the time, so yes, a powerful voice. There's a great video of Barnsey with the Living End in his studio performing Lay Down Your Guns. 👍👍
Such a great version. It's really great to see you exploring these amazing vocalists. Both are favourite sons of Australia.
'Sons of Australia'? ..........Diesel = born in USA, Farnham = born in England, Barnes = born in Scotland. I knew Australia was a big country, but not that big!!!!
@@robertn.3297
I’m not here to argue, just stating facts. Jimmy Barnes came to Australia aged 5. Mark Lizotte aka Diesel came here aged aged 6. John Farnham came here aged 10. I know Jimmy and John are officially Australian citizens, not sure about Mark. But living here since 5,
6 & 10 and start singing here, I’d call them Australian. I’ve heard John call himself Australian. Never noticed what the other 2 think, I could only assume.
@@robertn.3297John Farnham was an Australian of the Year recipient. We don’t tend to give those awards to people who are not considered Aussies. Judging by John’s acceptance speech he clearly considers himself an Aussie. 😊
@@robertn.3297 Australia is a nation of immigrants - 30% of Australians were born overseas, and 50% have both parents having been born overseas. Australia as a nation embraces this and considers people to be Australian if they consider themselves to be - which all of these men do.
I hope you realise how racist you'd sound if you said a similar thing about non-white Australians, and if you are Australian, maybe from there you can take a step back and think about why you have this attitude about people not born here.
If you aren't Australian, then you clearly don't understand even the basics about Australia as a society or country, which is fine, but maybe don't comment about things you don't understand?
Jimmy Barnes is also in a classic Aussie band called Cold Chisel…. Well worth a listen.
While all of your reactions are amazing, I have to say this is my favorite reaction of yours. I love seeing the look of amazement on your face and the gleam in your eyes.
In the pantheon of Australian rock, I'd put Jimmy's band Cold Chisel at No 2 just behind AC/DC in terms of impact. I was still in single figures when Chisel disbanded but it was impossible to not hear their music growing up. All of the members of Cold Chisel were song writers, and Barnes and Ian Moss had successful solo careers. Farnham regularly performed When the War Was Over in his live shows, which was a Cold Chisel song written by drummer Steve Prestwich, who was in the Little River band at the same time as Farnham
💯 agree
When this song came out they did a heap of live performances on TV shows, and no two were sung exactly the same. And every version sounded incredible
Isn't it great that they sing together with no egos .......Thanks and great reaction !
That's our boys ❤❤❤
Jimmy is a Scottish born Australian legend who was initially in a band called Cold Chisel. His solo career was amazing. We love him .
John has such a wide repertoire, gospel to hard rock, opera to ballads. Jimmy and his brother in law Mark Lizotte, the guitarist, aka ,Johnny Diesel . Are legendary in Australian music.
Between the three of them there are hundreds of videos you could react to .
You need to see Jimmy sing with his old band "Cold Chisel" his voice and Ian mosses voice together is phenomenal
Great trio. Best of Australian music! I'd love to see your reaction to John Farnham, Lyndsay Field and the great Venetta Fields singing Amazing Grace. Their connection is amazing despite the gritty video. Venetta Fields vocal input has been the cornerstone of many Australian and International acts. Look her up!
John can sing opera as well. Look him up singing Granada with Australian opera Legend Anthony Warlow . And he warms up by singing Led Zeppelin’s Black Dog. He’s got every genre covered.
Not really. JF's never done punk, ska, reggae, calypso, hip hop, jazz, grunge, r n b, rap and probably quite a few more. He's not a TH-camr like me who can upload whatever I want whenever I want to. There is a reason why he doesn't have every genre covered....he has a commercial reputation to protect and his manager would advise him accordingly.
@@TheChristOfRockNRollYou're hilarious 🙄 BTW, his manager (and best friend) died last year.
@@TheChristOfRockNRollJohn doesn't do social media as such in any way... Also just cause he hasn't done those genre's you've mentioned, believe me he could if he chose to... Though most you mentioned doesn't take huge amounts of talent to do either... He has sung by jazz before ..
@@TheChristOfRockNRoll one other big difference between you and John other than youtube... John has more talent than you could ever dream of having and unlike you he is modest.
@@TheChristOfRockNRoll geez, show us you have no idea what you’re talking about without telling us you have no idea🙄 John has been singing, giving people joy for 50+ years… how long have you been on YT using other peoples music for YOUR own commercial gain🤦🏼♀️
Diesel coming in at the end, just the best! Love his voice. This is a great performance all around.
John Farnham's voice is a musical instrument. I have no other way to describe it. He is phenomenal. And I love Jimmy too.
I have waited a long while to see you react to this and I was not disappointed. Fantastic reaction to some fantastic guys.
Love your reaction .Yes , John can sing anything . Listen to him sing Black Dog a cover of Led Zepplin he sang this as a mic check. No video available. Or hear him do a cover of Long Tall Sally by Little Richard. Both songs will blow your mind. Greetings from Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
The guitarist, Diesel is Jimmy Barnes’ brother in law plus an amazing musician, songwriter, performer, human all on his own. Legendary men.
Great reaction. These 3 guys are all from Australia - the home of white soul music. Check out an older more recent Jimmy Barnes singing 'Stone Cold' - you will be impressed.
Yes, very few singers can go toe to toe with these two. Good reaction.
What I love is these 3 singers are lead singers of their own bands but they have never had any problem coming together and supporting each other at special events to show off the talents of each over they together make beautiful music together Diezel joins John for the guitar solo and remainder of the song.
This live performance has an awesome energy. The studio version has a smoother more mellow overtone. Vocal performance on both outstanding.
Agreed, the studio version is most definitely worth a listen or 20 :) Also, Jimmy did 2 Albums of Soul songs, Soul Deep and Soul Deeper, Both are amazing listens
Only the voices are live though.
This song was a part of Jimmy Barnes doing a soul covers album called 'Soul Deep'. It was a massive success for him, and gave his career another major shot in the arm.
Such a great song to show just the sheer versatility of John. He actually rarely pulls out that growl but when he does it, it just shows you can do anything he turns his voice to..
Some puritans don't consider this "live", as the music for this was prerecorded, although the vocals were live. Still, vocally, I think it is the best recording of their live vocals.
Love your reaction!
It is so much on-point, like all your John Farnham reviews have been, so far.
What an awesome reaction!
So great to see your enjoyment of the performance, and hear your comments.
I hope you have a great week, and I look forward to your next upload.
Cheers.
I watched this performance live! Sensational!! Classic performance we'll never see or hear again :(
The third is Johnny Diesel and he is Jimmys brother in law but also a very good soul singer himself aswell as an incredible guitarist. I’m so glad that these guys are getting there well earned popularity outside of Australia.
Two of the most powerful & iconic Aussie voices on display right there Beth! Loved your reaction!❤
Thanks heaps for the amazing reaction to these Australian legends. Barnsey, Farnsey and Diesel can’t get much better then that. You should check out Jimmy Barnes with his band Cold Chisel “when the war is over” live Ringside 2003
It is great, but you just can't beat John's version of the same song. It really shows how well John can feel the lyrics.
I absolutely second this. You will love it. 😄
I love the ending to this performance. Diesel's voice fits so well with Jimmy and John and it's beautiful
Jimmy was in a band called Cold chisel, watch 1983 performance Wild Thing, it's the best
Personally, I've never been a fan of gruff, screechy voices, I know some people love it, but my ears find it too grating, what's always stood out about John is that even at his most gritty, there's still plenty of pure tone and control mixed in there. Love him so much.
Have a listen to John singing Burn for You. Stunning.
I still remember seeing this the first time on 'Hey Hey'. A true moment of musical genius. Your reaction is exactly what I wanted to hear. Someone who really knows voices, listening to a prefect performance. As a side note 'Hey Hey' ran every Saturday night during the Golden Age of Australian voices and had so many incredible performances. I don't know if you have already seen John Farnham and Tom Jones singing together on 'Hey Hey' but it is a treat.
THESE MEN and many more from the Aussie rock n roller landscape are responsible for the bursting of many a ovary over the years creating a relative fireworks of youthful awakening of lust and love! The 70's 80's and 90's is the musical score of the best years of my life, and nothing now can even compare. Where men were men and wore mullets like a lions mane!!! Dragon, Cold Chisel, INXS, ACDC, Hoodoo Gurus's, Men At Work, Divinyls, Crowded House, Hunters and Collectors, Choir Boys, Mental as Anything, and so much more ... but these two .. the cream of the top!!! The best female singers and back up singers in my humble opinion are Vika and Linda Bull with Black Sorrows another awesome Aussie band Chained to the wheel and Never Let Me Go .. get the live clips .. these sisters are just AWESOME .. and love BLACK SORROWS .. sigh
Jimmy Barnes in Cold Chisel ( ringside 2003) Bow River will blow you away ❤
Bethany, it is always wonderful to see your smile when you discover more and more beautiful singers. I am all here for it!
Great reaction.. Jimmy, John and diesel are legends in Australia 🇦🇺 please check out Jimmy barnes in the band cold chisel.. ❤
Love the way your face lights up with the reaction to these legends of Australia.
At 8:30 when John almost looks around like he doesn't know where to go with all of his emotions and then goes in to that high note/passage... That's just, I don't know. That's magic. That's living what you're doing. Holy crap.
These 3 singers are my childhood and that of many other Aussies. Now I’m in my 40s and I still love them. Their voices blend incredibly together and the mutual love and respect just shines through. Farnsey and Barnsey!
You wanna check out Jimmy Barnes singing with his band Cold Chisel. One of the greatest Australian bands ever. When you do, be sure to take note of their guitarist/vocalist Ian Moss, who sang lead vocal on quite a few of their tunes. Ian’s smooth soulful vocals are a fantastic compliment to Jimmy’s gravelly belts… Ian is also a killer guitarist!
Edit: I’d especially recommend this one: th-cam.com/video/y2by810nulE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KDF-KgSU0kvEr87d
This is listed as the "official video" of Bow River, but it is a live performance from their "last stand" concert when the band was breaking up in 1983. Yes, the band broke up 40 years ago this year! They have since rebanded, thank God! It is one of their best and well know songs, and it really showcases both Ian and Jimmy’s great vocals - the whole band is on fire in this clip!
Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa… Stone Cold… a must listen
Wow, when Jimmy smiled you could see David. I never noticed just how alike they are until then. I love these two together
I was a kid at the time and loved both but it wasn't until recently that I realised quite how good they both were vocally. John's range is phenomenal.
Excellent assessment, commentary and reaction, always great to see these two Aussie legends getting the recognition they deserve.
The guitarist is Jimmy’s brother in law - Diesel
...and an artist in his own rights
Fun fact, they aren’t brothers-in-law, they are connected through two marriages, makes them just friends married to sisters.
Close enough,…yes you’re rihjt@@Bellas1717
"right" - I've made exactly the same correction many times - but have given up.
Blessed to have seen both these legends of Aussie music perform live in the 80s.Barnesy and Farnesy have both been around for decades. Jimmy fronted the band 'Cold Chisel', and was a hard rocking, microphone in one hand, bottle of vodka in the other.. Good times 😁🇦🇺
I love this because this whole song is both Jimmy and Johnny playing, having fun with all the tones and feel of the song. Those two singing togehter is the most fun and Hey Hey It's Saturday was the perfect show for that to happen
I saw Jimmy Barnes live in the early 90's in New Zealand and I was blown away at how good he was.
In the late 80's I used to live in Largs Bay, a beachside suburb of Adelaide.
I saw Jimmy at the Largs Pier Hotel a time or two when I was around ten years old...I used to sneak around the hotel all the time.
I didn't hear him sing there when I was there and to be honest I wasn't into music yet anyway...I didn't know who he was at the time either until years later.
Apparently that pub was where he liked to hang out in those days.
@@stevenbalekic5683 Nice. I saw him when I was about 18 in Rotorua new Zealand. It was in an indoor hall. He sounded just like his studio versions.
Jimmy is a master of duets because he is so generous in sharing the limelight. I suggest you check out Cold Chisel's Ringside concert of When the War is Over, where he backs up Ian Moss superbly. Oh, and you will get to see another great Aussie vocalist in Ian Moss, whose voice is something else again, not to mention his skills on a guitar.
Jimmy is smooth in this one. Usually gravelly and a great screamer.
I'm am sitting at home in Australia so proud of these 2 Aussie Icons that we have grown up with .....The best part is seeing your reaction to this vision and how you explain what you see and hear... It's so uplifting to see you enjoying this for the first time ....Brilliant !!
Just how many times- young JImmy Barnes at his soulful best. You're very welcome 😊
Crazy good! First time ever listening to these guys. Never hear of them before.😎
I am not a singer but I really like the analyzing of the vocal talent. . . . . . and then I can't help but find the video to just kick back and listen to the whole thing.
I love your appreciation and enthusiasm for our Australian singers! If you would like to check out another one of John's duets, I would highly recommend his 2000 live performance of the song " Angels". You would have to suffer his first 1.5 minute of joking around but after that his singing ranges are incredible!
😊😊😊😊
Nice way to be introduced to Jimmy Barnes lol. See him singing in a bar after a bottle of scotch with his original band.. Cold Chisel.. Rock legend!!
Jimmy Barnes and Tina Turner - Simply the best
Loving your reactions to John Farnham. Please do lots more reactions to his songs and performances.
I’ve been waiting for you to discover this song!! It’s amazing and so is your reaction!! Thank you!! John, Jimmy & Diesel are all Aussie legends ❤
Both legends in the Australian music industry.
Can't believe I missed this reaction - great choice of a memorable piece by legendary artists ❤
Great song by two Australian Legends 🇦🇺…and your facial expressions while there singing is priceless 👍
I imagine sails unfurling on a sailing ship when I listen to John Farnham's voice & when it comes to Jimmy's voice, it's like a jet boat cutting through the waves with a tonne of power.
Johnny Farnham is THE voice. I think he might be the best voice I've ever heard
Just some Australian singers in touch with their vocals....just happens to be 2 of the best male singer of our time.
I was an Aussie kid growing up in the 80's and I never really appreciated how good this was. That was just music to me. Being an older man and rewatching it, it's just incredible!
The fact that the three of them, Barnsey and Farnsey especially, have basically been in chart competition for decades speaks to the amount of respect they have for one another. You will find with a lot of Aussie artists they help one another out on albums, do guest spots on each other's concerts, appear on the same music shows etc...maybe it's because we're so remote here... but we've definitely been spoilt in Australia...John has recently been given the 'all clear' after recovering from a major surgery for oral cancer - his sons have said that he's singing around the house already - it was not certain that he would ever sing again, not that he ever had to, his legacy is decades long and he has given us so much content over the years, but I think as a long term musician it would have been a little heartwrenching if he hadn't been able to ..... Jimmy also has had his share of health issues... we are extremely fortunate to still have them with us.....Thank you Bethany 💗
Stone cold by Jimmy Barnes is brilliant. FYI Jimmy has 2 sets of vocal cords that helps him belt out songs
