I worked as a DJ in LA in the 70's and 80's, and I had the honor of playing music of my own choice after midnight. I tried in my own little way to win my audience over to Cold Chisel's music. At least my listeners got the hype of this band down under. I still have my original copies of Cold Chisel records; admittedly, the Australian version of _East_ is one I enjoy the most. I got to interview many Australian musicians in my day, including Little River Band, Men At Work, INXS, Real Life, Mental As Anything, The Church and so many more. The band that surprised me was The Birthday Party, who were developing a bad reputation in the US for their violent and anarchic shows. They were actually nice guys! The most intimidating was Chrissy Amphlette from Divinyls. A sexy and intelligent young lady with piecing brown eyes hidden behind a fringe; she seemed like she was waiting for me to ask a stupid question, just so she can pounce on me. I enjoyed interviewing the Aussie groups more than the British groups. There was just something different and real about the Aussies.
Cold chisel are the greatest band ever and how lucky for you to interview INXS I hope you talked to Michael as he was the best frontman of any band from Australia and is greatly missed and Chrissy would have intimidated me as well but I would have been in awe of her
If you look into Chrissie's upbringing, and the general treatment of female lead vocalists by the music industry in those days, you get an idea of why she may have been somewhat defensive, and that an opportunistic mindset often goes with that.
Cold Chisel are one of those bands that, if you get them, you realise they're superlative, and then find it hard to understand why others don't appreciate them the way you do.
If you’re interested there’s two 30 minute videos of, the Australian Made concert, 1987, that have a lengthy interview with Hutchins & Amphlett together. It’s funny, laid back & pretty cool. There’s also an hour 20min video of the concert. Search, Australian Made concert 1987 Hutchins Amphlett, on YT.
Lmao the Little River Band was formed in Melbourne Victoria, so yes they made it big outside the USA The lyrics that you can't understand is --- Cheap wine and ac3 day growth (beard stubble)
Cold Chisels genre is Aussie Pub Rock. The live scene for music was huge from the late 60s, 70s, and 80s bands would tour the country playing sometimes 10 shows a week in Australian Pubs. The crowd was rowdy and a band that couldn’t entertain them quickly just didn’t survive. Pub Rock has a working man edge to it, it became almost the voice of the generation expressing the dissatisfaction and frustration of the times at least in the late 70s when CC were touring. They became the vehicle for at least my generation to express themselves. “Star Hotel” is a great example of that frustration. Hello to you from the beautiful State in Australia - Tasmania
This was one of their more popular songs and much more of a pop song. They covered a lot of genres from hard rock, ballads, rock/reggae, blues, rockabilly, and pop. The chorus was "cheap wine and a 3 day growth".
Little River Band are Australian. lol I'm glad you braved it for the next Cold Chisel song. And thank you for using the nzoz1980 upload. Cold Chisel - My Baby Austech
the best Aussie band, thanks for the reaction. Yes, he sang Khe Sanh, but they do have another lead singer who you haven't heard yet - Ian Moss, the lead guitarist, is also a lead singer in his own right. These guys have a huge catalogue, you keep exploring it and I'll keep watching them :)
Cold Chisel.... Aussie pub music legends along with their lead singer Jimmy Barnes whom went solo & did very well as well❤❤❤ much love from Perth Western Australia ❤
Musically, Cold Chisel does a wide variety of music. All five band members wrote songs and they started by playing pubs so there's a massive variety of songs -- from gorgeous heart-breaking ballads all the way to really hard rock. Don't just listen to one or two songs and think you have them pegged because you won't. Oh, and they have two lead singers with contrasting voices (Jimmy and Mossy, their guitar player). So far, you have only seen Jimmy sing. There are songs where Mossy does lead and Jimmy backs him up -- and they are GREAT songs. There's all sorts to recommend. Maybe the video of Saturday Night? And then for most of their other songs you should do live.
This song may be a little deeper than you realised. Don Walker( Keybords and main songwriter for this album “East” realeased in 1980, said it was about leaving a high paying lifestyle and the trapping of that when his girlfriend overdosed and how he is now trying to deal with his life in the wake of that loss. Take a look at the lyrics to this and most CC songs they usually tell a story.
This is pure Aussie Pub Rock , its a broad genre at its best when performed live . Often with Aussie bands the ones that made it in the USA weren't as big in Australia as the ones that didnt . We like our music a bit raw or unpolished, its why Pub Rock was such a dominant force in Oz .
I saw this band at Macy's in South Yarra. About 50 people in the audience. They billed themselves as the barking spiders. It was a sort of dress rehearsal for the big shows. Didn't stay at 50 for very long.
It’s a particular genre of Aussie music mostly from the late 70s to 80s, called Pub Rock - basically just pretty “raw” music that tends to sound even better live than recorded.
It's sort of ironic that you said they remind you of The Little River Band, and you were wondering if that group got known out of America. The Little River Band came from Australia and was of the same era. You need to play Bow River, a real classic from Cold Chisel. For me, this song is emblemic of this band. And as someone has already said, this is of a genre of music called Pub Rock. Cold Chisel also has a good sprinkling of blues and soul mixed in with their style of rock. I recommend jumping down this rabbit hole because you could be about to go on an interesting musical journey. Maybe I'll be the 5000th subscriber.
Isn't Little River between Ballarat and Geelong? Spotted it on a trip to the mainland with my son coming back from the Ballarat tennis club to the ferry. Judos to Paul Tablet=y and the Ballarat Real Tennis Club. (Check out Real Tennis, The worlds
... cont... oldest racket game, bent rules, bent rackets and balls that don't bounce, but, the most addictive game. Thanks Paul Tabley for your hospitality).
The guy singing this is Jimmy Barnes (Van Halen were considering him to be David Lee Roth's replacement, but went with Sammy Hagar). Jimmy Barnes also sang Khe Sahn, but the long curly hair made him look a little different. I rather short-hair Jimmy Barnes. The other guy that sings for Cold Chisel is Ian Moss (guitarist).
Looking at his face says it all, "Cheap Wine and three-day growth". Hit the alcohol and looking scruffy and unkempt while recovering from a toxic relationship that he got out of dodge from, chilling out by the ocean front. As everyone knows the vast majority of Australia's population is around the edges of the country and we have a deep love and respect for the ocean and water in general because of it.
I had to laugh when you said the song reminds you of your son, with his three day growth. The song and video reminds me of being a young guy in the early 80's. A few of us had little direction, and had mates that were either dead or dying due to substance abuse. The house seen in this clip looks like a typical house shared by the average young Aussie dropkicks. There were a lot of pubs, and a lot of great bands to see live. You could work during the day and head to a local at night to see the next big thing (Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, INXS, Rose Tattoo, AC/DC, Divinyls - all came from the pub rock road). If you had a very good Friday night, you too would be walking around the house the next day like Jimmy is in the video, while your dropkick mates are sleeping on the couch or on the floor. And although that may not sound like a unique experience for a young person, it was quite prevelent in Australia during this time. The negative was the punch ups, the nowhere-ness and the deaths. This song and its video still haunts me to this day.
*Cold Chisel - My Baby - Countdown - Remastered Austech 4K* is the next that should be tried. It's a simple song about a guy's love for his girlfriend. No war stories or growing beards. Just simple young love. It's from the same album that ''Cheap Wine'' is from...
Glad to see you've come back to this band. They had a lot of popular songs. I'm not a fan of My Baby, but it was a song sung by Ian Moss. The band had two singers.
I think you two make a lovely couple, and I'm pleased to see you take to Chisel with an open ear. Jimmy Barnes' face was a little obscured in the Khe Sanh vide; nothing that a good haircut couldn't fix. Sadly, Barnsey would grow his hair back and become our national screamer for the next 30 odd years. The video captures what a lot of us were like in Australia in the early 80's. Then Paul Hogan decided to tell the world that we looked like a caricature that he created in his head. But we were actually like Jimmy Barnes in this video.. shirtless for half the day, hungover and whingy... having a film of a chicken fight projected on to our lounge room blinds... looking at God knows what through binoculars... I used to really relate to this song, and now I listen to it and I can't help but think ''get a job you loser!''.. just like my dad did.
I commend you as a channel for trying Chisel twice. Some ''reactors'' rather listen to songs they've known their entire lives, and place thumbnails of themselves looking ''surprised''. You actually stepped into Chisel twice. Give us more Chisel reactions please. We love this band in Australia. Cheers !!
From a catologue of hundreds , just 4 live performances can show you the band. 1) Georgia .....an impromptu solo by Ian Moss during a live concert when leed singer, Jimmy Barnes , had to run backstage for a pit stop to please nature. 2) When The War is Over......a ballad written by drummer Steve Prestwiche about a failed relationship. 3) Bow River......from their 2003 reunion concert. 4) Wild Thing.....a cover of a very covered song, but the wildest most feral performance ever, and many believe better than the Jimmi Hendrix cover. Performed during their Last Stand tour, 1983, as they were breaking up due to the many fist fights within the band.
Little River Band was an Australian band too.... When you drive into Melbourne from the South West regional city of Geelong on the Geelong Freeway you drive past a sign saying 'Little River'. Cold Chisel is the sound of my young adult years. Cold Chisel weren't afraid of raising social issues like returned servicemen in Khe Sahn and When The War Is Over, abortion in Choir Girl. Police brutality in Star Hotel and Four Walls. Existential angst in Breakfast At Sweethearts, Shipping Steel. Tonnes of great songs.
Cold Chisel were a difficult band to define. They could and did play many different styles......essentially a pub ( bar ) rock band, all their members wrote / composed 1st Class ballads that were the essence of their recording success, while their tough, roughouse rock sound and image was the essential fabric as Australia's most popular hard rock band ever. From the start in the mid 1970's, the piano player was the musical leader and guru, and yet.......they debuted as a Heavy Metal band, then folk, country etc before finding success as a rock band with 2 leed singers and front men. One singer has a very sweet voice and is also the leed guitarist ( Ian Moss ). The other is the wild man Jimmy Barnes.. ...who sings in at least 4 different styles and voices. He also has a sweet voice for rock, soul and gospel but prefers to belt while crushing granite with his throat. Sometimes when Mossy takes leed vocals, Jimmy's backing vocals can sound a bit like an Aretha Franklin type doing soft back ups... .. and then ge steps foreard and lifts the roof off with a chain saw type vocal. lol
I think This and That JC should try 4 or 5 Cold Chisel songs before trying any Jimmy Barnes or Ian Moss solo material. After trying out Chisel songs, I suggest checking out INXS & Jimmy Barnes' ''Good Times'' and then Jimmy Barnes/John Farnham ''When Something's Wrong With My Baby''. I suggest that the next Cold chisel songs should be as follows: Cold Chisel - My Baby Austech Cold Chisel - Bow River (Bruce Barber) Cold Chisel - Wild Thing (Last Stand) (Glenn Thomas) Cold Chisel - When The War Is Over [LIVE] (Cold Chisel's official channel) Cold Chisel - Forever Now nzoz1982 Cold Chisel - Flame Trees (Audio + Video merge 2023) Jimmy Barnes - Good Times (a collaboration with INXS for the 1986 movie The Lost Boys') John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby (glennSuperdude)
You would classify their music as the ultimate Aussie Pub Rock band - varied and awesome - Legends - 'Cheap Wine and a 3 day growth' - and Little River Band is an Australian band
Okay, my comments about your previous reaction to Chisel was a hard, and I've grown to like you two since. I look forward to your next Cold Chisel reaction. Maybe try ''Bow River'' Ringside 2003 version
Cold chisel is a great band that sang a variety of styles. Nearly every member of the band could sing and they often took turns, but Jimmy Barnes was there second lead singer. I recommend you try "bow river"and "Yakusa Girls" if you like rock or "when the war is over" for easy listening. I noticed your reaction to Khe Sahn and would recommend you listen to a song by Redgum - I was only nineteen - if you want a good song about the vietnam was and PTSD.
I appreciate the openess that the two of you exude on the channel, and the openess to ''new'' music is also noticed. The first two songs ('Khe Sanh' and 'Cheap Wine') are good songs to ease you into the band. I agree with OnceWas. Next vid to try is ''My Baby Austech''.
LRB are Aussie 😂😂😂😂 . No wonder they sound a bit similar. Check out Johnny from LRB and Jimmy from Chisel singing together - When Something is Wrong With My Baby , the worlds will collide 🎉
Lol I think you need to do a video on Australian rock, I feel that you might be surprised by two things, how many songs you know are in fact by Aussie bands and simply how good it is! Oh by the way the live version of Bow river is probably the best, still laughing at Little River Band!
TO the people calling this couple ''ignorant'' and ''arrogant'', I ask you to just cut it out because they are doing what many reactions refuse to do. They're checking out what they're not familiar with, and that is much better than the usual reaction channels that refuse to venture outside the classic rock circuit, and instead, pretend to not know songs that everybody knows. I have seen enough old Americans claiming to hear The Eagles for the first time, and then reply with a ''oh no no no, I'm fine thank you'' when Cold Chisel is suggested to them. Don't punish these people for checking out Cold Chisel. That's just ignorant.
I was about 12 when this song was a hit in Australia. A lot of boys would sing ''Cheap Wine and a female goat'' out in the playground. Little River Band are an Aussie band, but the current line-up has no Australian members and the bnad's founders have no right to the name. Sad, but true.
Ha yes Jimmy Barnes sang both Khe Sanh. Cold Chisle had 2 singer that were in the band at the same time Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss. You0 do know the Little River Band is an Australian band until the late 90's when most of the original band had gone and the got stabbed in the back by the American replacements and lost the rights to name the name of the band they started, for a while were preforming as the real little river band. But yes the Little River Band started in Melbourne in 1975.
For Pete's sake the Little River Band is AUSTRALIAN...named after the The Little River between Geelong and Melbourne in the State of Victoria. The band touring now around the States now does not have any original members of the band in it and some the original members of LRB have been somewhat pissed off with the situation. No way is Cold Chisel like the Little River Band, much harder.... one would say LRB more in the Eagles wheel house rather than Cold Chisel. By the way CC did attempt to break in the States but the record executives wanted to change the look and sound of the band so the members of CC said f**k it and headed back to Australia. You can get the jist of the story from CC song 'You Got Nothing I Want.
Jimmy Barnes had a haircut sometime between Khe Sanh and Cheap Wine. Looked a lot better with short hair. Didn't last though.. He grew it all back, which made him look older and less charismatic.
I'm Aussie and I have grown up on this band's music. I got a feeling Cold Chisel were listening to a bit of The Clash and The Police during this period. Not a criticism.. Just subtle things I've noticed.
Cheap wine and a three day growth! 😂an Little River Band are NOT an American Band they are an Aussie band too!!! 😂so yes they made it outside the United Sates!😂❤
It is the legendary Jimmy Barnes who has just recovered from heart surgery. Request Forever Now and Bow River (live circle version) which will blow your Sox off cobber!
You're getting to the edge of the aussie rabbit hole...teetering on the brink...and along comes John Farnham and you just fall right down the hole. Try John and Jimmy Barnes doing When Something is Wrong with My Baby. Dare ya! Oh...by the way John sang lead for LRB for a while after Glenn left the band.
New sub...always grsat to see people "findc Chisel and Barnes but you dont want to waste your first time hearing om amything other then live versions. Bow River Live Ringside When the War is over Live Ringside Have more live versions but these will kick it off👍
@@AshleyBaker-ll2ug Lol.. I suppose so. Most of their songs seem to have some kind of whinge or disappointment attached.. Even Breakfast At Sweethearts doesn't sound all that happy...
OMG did you just say " I dont know if the Little River Band made it outside of America". Don't say that in Australia, you will get a punch in the nose.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! A wonderful christmas song - Diana Ankudinova & Brandon Stone (piano) - What a Wonderful World Diana Ankudinova - the female counter-version of Dimash, the Queen of Goosebumps - Diana received such a title for her extraordinary unique voice. Also among Diana's best works are covers of Derniere Danse, Wicked Game, Can't Help Falling in You. New - OST Dune and OST James Bond (Art of Hans Zimmer) Each of these performances garnered over a thousand reactions.

Can I just say, you have great taste in music mate👍

cheap wine and a 3 day growth
And idk if anyone doesn't know what that means... He's not shaved for three days. Three day growth of facial hair :D
This band had a harder edge than LRB who are also an Australian band.
"I had a friend, I heard she died. On the needle she was crucified". Such an amazing lyric.
Lmao the Little River Band was formed in Melbourne Victoria, so yes they made it big outside the
USA
The lyrics that you can't understand is --- Cheap wine and ac3 day growth (beard stubble)

Cold Chisel music is a mix of rock, blues, soul, rockabilly even a Jamaican touch.
Jimmy Barnes has just had open heart surgery for the second time and is doing well
Jimmy lead vocals
This was one of their more popular songs and much more of a pop song. They covered a lot of genres from hard rock, ballads, rock/reggae, blues, rockabilly, and pop. The chorus was "cheap wine and a 3 day growth".
Little River Band are Australian. lol
I'm glad you braved it for the next Cold Chisel song. And thank you for using the nzoz1980 upload.
Cold Chisel - My Baby Austech
Yeah Little River Band did pretty well outside the US, Especially in their home country in Australia.😀
the best Aussie band, thanks for the reaction. Yes, he sang Khe Sanh, but they do have another lead singer who you haven't heard yet - Ian Moss, the lead guitarist, is also a lead singer in his own right. These guys have a huge catalogue, you keep exploring it and I'll keep watching them :)

Cold Chisel is pub rock, generally speaking.
Quite a diverse band in reality.
I saw this band at Macy's in South Yarra. About 50 people in the audience. They billed themselves as the barking spiders. It was a sort of dress rehearsal for the big shows. Didn't stay at 50 for very long.

G'day from Australia, followed Barnsey here, you guys are great, subscribed. We call this "pub rock".
It's sort of ironic that you said they remind you of The Little River Band, and you were wondering if that group got known out of America.
The Little River Band came from Australia and was of the same era.
You need to play Bow River, a real classic from Cold Chisel. For me, this song is emblemic of this band.

You guys need to do bow river live 2003 version. It will automatically go on your playlist and the playlist of lots of your listeners.
The Little River Band is an Australian band. HE singing cheap wine and a 3-day growth as in beard.
You 2 are awesome. I'm an Aussie and I can relate to every song from cold chisel. You have to react to there song. BOW RIVER.
Thanks for the reaction. You gotta check out Cold Chisel “when the war is over” and “bow river” live Ringside 2003
Bow river is the best live song of there's! Album is live at ringside! The whole album is amazing to tell you the truth! Must watch
Cheap Wine and a Three Day Growth.
The guy singing this is Jimmy Barnes (Van Halen were considering him to be David Lee Roth's replacement, but went with Sammy Hagar). Jimmy Barnes also sang Khe Sahn, but the long curly hair made him look a little different. I rather short-hair Jimmy Barnes. The other guy that sings for Cold Chisel is Ian Moss (guitarist).
Looking at his face says it all,
"Cheap Wine and three-day growth".
Hit the alcohol and looking scruffy and unkempt while recovering from a toxic relationship that he got out of dodge from, chilling out by the ocean front.
As everyone knows the vast majority of Australia's population is around the edges of the country and we have a deep love and respect for the ocean and water in general because of it.

*Cold Chisel - My Baby - Countdown - Remastered Austech 4K* is the next that should be tried.
It's a simple song about a guy's love for his girlfriend. No war stories or growing beards. Just simple young love. It's from the same album that ''Cheap Wine'' is from...
Glad to see you've come back to this band. They had a lot of popular songs. I'm not a fan of My Baby, but it was a song sung by Ian Moss. The band had two singers.
Little River Band is from Melbourne Australia.
Cheap wine and a three day growth. Meaning facial hair.
I think you two make a lovely couple, and I'm pleased to see you take to Chisel with an open ear. Jimmy Barnes' face was a little obscured in the Khe Sanh vide; nothing that a good haircut couldn't fix. Sadly, Barnsey would grow his hair back and become our national screamer for the next 30 odd years. The video captures what a lot of us were like in Australia in the early 80's. Then Paul Hogan decided to tell the world that we looked like a caricature that he created in his head.
But we were actually like Jimmy Barnes in this video.. shirtless for half the day, hungover and whingy... having a film of a chicken fight projected on to our lounge room blinds... looking at God knows what through binoculars...
I used to really relate to this song, and now I listen to it and I can't help but think ''get a job you loser!''.. just like my dad did.
I commend you as a channel for trying Chisel twice. Some ''reactors'' rather listen to songs they've known their entire lives, and place thumbnails of themselves looking ''surprised''. You actually stepped into Chisel twice. Give us more Chisel reactions please. We love this band in Australia. Cheers !!
Thanks for reacting to Cold Chisel. You will get a load of us old Aussies on board. Jimmy Barnes is still belting out the music into his late 60s now.
From a catologue of hundreds , just 4 live performances can show you the band.
1) Georgia .....an impromptu solo by Ian Moss during a live concert when leed singer, Jimmy Barnes , had to run backstage for a pit stop to please nature.
2) When The War is Over......a ballad written by drummer Steve Prestwiche about a failed relationship.
3) Bow River......from their 2003 reunion concert.
4) Wild Thing.....a cover of a very covered song, but the wildest most feral performance ever, and many believe better than the Jimmi Hendrix cover.
Performed during their Last Stand tour, 1983, as they were breaking up due to the many fist fights within the band.
Little River Band was an Australian band too....
When you drive into Melbourne from the South West regional city of Geelong on the Geelong Freeway you drive past a sign saying 'Little River'.
Cold Chisel is the sound of my young adult years. Cold Chisel weren't afraid of raising social issues like returned servicemen in Khe Sahn and When The War Is Over, abortion in Choir Girl. Police brutality in Star Hotel and Four Walls. Existential angst in Breakfast At Sweethearts, Shipping Steel. Tonnes of great songs.
Little River Band are Australian. Can you check them out singing “reminiscing” live with John Farnham as the lead singer
Were Australian until they lost the rights to the name to the last guy standing
Cold Chisel were a difficult band to define.
They could and did play many different styles......essentially a pub ( bar ) rock band, all their members wrote / composed 1st Class ballads that were the essence of their recording success, while their tough, roughouse rock sound and image was the essential fabric as Australia's most popular hard rock band ever.
From the start in the mid 1970's, the piano player was the musical leader and guru, and yet.......they debuted as a Heavy Metal band, then folk, country etc before finding success as a rock band with 2 leed singers and front men.
One singer has a very sweet voice and is also the leed guitarist ( Ian Moss ).
The other is the wild man Jimmy Barnes.. ...who sings in at least 4 different styles and voices.
He also has a sweet voice for rock, soul and gospel but prefers to belt while crushing granite with his throat.
Sometimes when Mossy takes leed vocals, Jimmy's backing vocals can sound a bit like an Aretha Franklin type doing soft back ups... .. and then ge steps foreard and lifts the roof off with a chain saw type vocal. lol
Nice one guys. You must check out their version of Wild Thing from the Last Stand concert. Keep them coming
Little River band was actually an Australian group
Love your reactions Aussie 70's / 80's Music Simply the Best ! Try listening to Angels , Matt Finish , Icehouse
The Little River Band was an Australian band.
I think This and That JC should try 4 or 5 Cold Chisel songs before trying any Jimmy Barnes or Ian Moss solo material. After trying out Chisel songs, I suggest checking out INXS & Jimmy Barnes' ''Good Times'' and then Jimmy Barnes/John Farnham ''When Something's Wrong With My Baby''. I suggest that the next Cold chisel songs should be as follows:
Cold Chisel - My Baby Austech
Cold Chisel - Bow River (Bruce Barber)
Cold Chisel - Wild Thing (Last Stand) (Glenn Thomas)
Cold Chisel - When The War Is Over [LIVE] (Cold Chisel's official channel)
Cold Chisel - Forever Now nzoz1982
Cold Chisel - Flame Trees (Audio + Video merge 2023)
Jimmy Barnes - Good Times (a collaboration with INXS for the 1986 movie The Lost Boys')
John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby (glennSuperdude)
You would classify their music as the ultimate Aussie Pub Rock band - varied and awesome - Legends - 'Cheap Wine and a 3 day growth' - and Little River Band is an Australian band
Okay, my comments about your previous reaction to Chisel was a hard, and I've grown to like you two since. I look forward to your next Cold Chisel reaction. Maybe try ''Bow River'' Ringside 2003 version
Cold chisel is a great band that sang a variety of styles. Nearly every member of the band could sing and they often took turns, but Jimmy Barnes was there second lead singer. I recommend you try "bow river"and "Yakusa Girls" if you like rock or "when the war is over" for easy listening. I noticed your reaction to Khe Sahn and would recommend you listen to a song by Redgum - I was only nineteen - if you want a good song about the vietnam was and PTSD.
Damn, I’m Australian and I always thought it was Cheap Wine and a three way coat.
I appreciate the openess that the two of you exude on the channel, and the openess to ''new'' music is also noticed. The first two songs ('Khe Sanh' and 'Cheap Wine') are good songs to ease you into the band. I agree with OnceWas. Next vid to try is ''My Baby Austech''.
Two Chisel songs so far. Fifty more to go. Kidding.
Little River band was an Australian band 😉
Cheap wine and a free range goat
"Cheap wine and a three day growth".
Means drunk and unshaven.
THREE DAY GROWTH!!!!
LRB are Aussie 😂😂😂😂 . No wonder they sound a bit similar. Check out Johnny from LRB and Jimmy from Chisel singing together - When Something is Wrong With My Baby , the worlds will collide 🎉
Lol I think you need to do a video on Australian rock, I feel that you might be surprised by two things, how many songs you know are in fact by Aussie bands and simply how good it is! Oh by the way the live version of Bow river is probably the best, still laughing at Little River Band!
TO the people calling this couple ''ignorant'' and ''arrogant'', I ask you to just cut it out because they are doing what many reactions refuse to do. They're checking out what they're not familiar with, and that is much better than the usual reaction channels that refuse to venture outside the classic rock circuit, and instead, pretend to not know songs that everybody knows.
I have seen enough old Americans claiming to hear The Eagles for the first time, and then reply with a ''oh no no no, I'm fine thank you'' when Cold Chisel is suggested to them. Don't punish these people for checking out Cold Chisel. That's just ignorant.
Thankyou ever so much for your reactions. Yes , and it's the same guy, who sang Khe San 👍
Three day growth is the line.
Little River band are from Australia
" Cheap wine and a three day growth...."
Maybe the next Chisel song to do is *Cold Chisel - Bow River (Bruce Barber)*
It's very popular with fans and seems to excite reactors.
Try cold chisel( you got nothing i want!), its a story of why they didn't crack USA market. Also forever NOW is a good song.
little river band did quite well 'outside the US'--
I was about 12 when this song was a hit in Australia. A lot of boys would sing ''Cheap Wine and a female goat'' out in the playground. Little River Band are an Aussie band, but the current line-up has no Australian members and the bnad's founders have no right to the name. Sad, but true.
You really need to listen to Cold Chisel Bow River live Ringside 2003 this is probably Cold Chisels biggest and best song.
Ha yes Jimmy Barnes sang both Khe Sanh. Cold Chisle had 2 singer that were in the band at the same time Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss. You0 do know the Little River Band is an Australian band until the late 90's when most of the original band had gone and the got stabbed in the back by the American replacements and lost the rights to name the name of the band they started, for a while were preforming as the real little river band. But yes the Little River Band started in Melbourne in 1975.
For Pete's sake the Little River Band is AUSTRALIAN...named after the The Little River between Geelong and Melbourne in the State of Victoria. The band touring now around the States now does not have any original members of the band in it and some the original members of LRB have been somewhat pissed off with the situation. No way is Cold Chisel like the Little River Band, much harder.... one would say LRB more in the Eagles wheel house rather than Cold Chisel. By the way CC did attempt to break in the States but the record executives wanted to change the look and sound of the band so the members of CC said f**k it and headed back to Australia. You can get the jist of the story from CC song 'You Got Nothing I Want.
Jimmy Barnes had a haircut sometime between Khe Sanh and Cheap Wine. Looked a lot better with short hair. Didn't last though..
He grew it all back, which made him look older and less charismatic.
I'm Aussie and I have grown up on this band's music. I got a feeling Cold Chisel were listening to a bit of The Clash and The Police during this period. Not a criticism.. Just subtle things I've noticed.
LRB are Australian too
BTW Little River Band are Australian
It’s cheap wine and a three day growth. But growing up as a kid in Australia we sung cheap wine & a three legged goat 😂🤷♂️
It's not cheap wine and a three legged goat as some people thought but cheap wine and a three day growth!
You should do Bow River from 2003 by Cold Chisel. It's phenomenal
Cheap wine and a three day growth! 😂an Little River Band are NOT an American Band they are an Aussie band too!!! 😂so yes they made it outside the United Sates!😂❤
It is the legendary Jimmy Barnes who has just recovered from heart surgery. Request Forever Now and Bow River (live circle version) which will blow your Sox off cobber!
You're getting to the edge of the aussie rabbit hole...teetering on the brink...and along comes John Farnham and you just fall right down the hole. Try John and Jimmy Barnes doing When Something is Wrong with My Baby. Dare ya! Oh...by the way John sang lead for LRB for a while after Glenn left the band.
New sub...always grsat to see people "findc Chisel and Barnes but you dont want to waste your first time hearing om amything other then live versions.
Bow River Live Ringside
When the War is over Live Ringside
Have more live versions but these will kick it off👍

You appear to think Little River Band is American. Nope, Australian, from Melbourne.
Cold Chisel Bow River. and/or Wild Thing should be next.
Cheap wine and a 3 day growth
PS :- Cheap Wine and a 3 day growth ( beard )...... when a man loses everything or gives up he drinks and stops shaving. lol
Cheap wine and a 3 day growth.(Facial Hair). In other words laying back, relaxing, and not giving a #*%!
Cheap wine and a 3 day growth ( facisl hair). And lady For the record LRB are an Australian band!!@ go figure 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I'm surprised that Khe Sanh spiked on your channel in 6 days.
I'm trying to think of Cold Chisel tune where there isn't a tone of complaint.
No tone of complaint in My Baby.... it's a bit of a brag song, actually
@@AshleyBaker-ll2ug Lol.. I suppose so. Most of their songs seem to have some kind of whinge or disappointment attached.. Even Breakfast At Sweethearts doesn't sound all that happy...
3 day growth
Cheap wine and a 3 day growth ( unshaved)
Three-day growth (unshaven).
Cheep wine and a three day growth (facial hair)
OMG did you just say " I dont know if the Little River Band made it outside of America". Don't say that in Australia, you will get a punch in the nose.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
A wonderful christmas song -
Diana Ankudinova & Brandon Stone (piano) - What a Wonderful World
Diana Ankudinova - the female counter-version of Dimash, the Queen of Goosebumps - Diana received such a title for her extraordinary unique voice.
Also among Diana's best works are covers of Derniere Danse, Wicked Game, Can't Help Falling in You.
New - OST Dune and OST James Bond (Art of Hans Zimmer)
Each of these performances garnered over a thousand reactions.
