Thanks Nick for doing my request! I thought you might really like this one! Both Jimmy and Ian are the main vocalists and the other three are backing vocalists but both Steve and Don have taken the lead vocals on a handful of songs. You are 100% correct that the different vocal styles of Jimmy and Ian compliment each other so well and then backed by the song writing genius of Don Walker (keyboards in this video), make them truly one of the greatest bands of all time. Great reaction keep up the great work!
Take the song writing genius of Don and Ian, and don't forget the small fact that there is very few bands that every single member has written a hit song, and I believe they have all taken the lead singer role on those hits as well... It would be good to see a reaction of the top hit from every member, but unfortunately I can't afford to put the proposal forward.
I just went to see Ian Moss in concert 21st October 😃😎 he is 68 now and he's still amazing! Voice is just as good and his skills in the guitar are legendary. Just love Ian Moss 🤗🤗🤗🌏🪐🌕🙏🍀🌸🇦🇺🐝🌷🦉🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Don Walker the keyboard player wrote this song about his daughter. Cold chisel will always be my favourite Aussie band because aside from their awesome musicianship skills, I love the stories they tell that are so relatable and emotive.
Haha I pissed my pants laughing when he said that, and in the early days Jimmy would have knocked your lips off your face if you looked at him wrong 👍😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺
Nick - Don Walker on keyboards (who wrote the majority of Chisel's songs) and Phil Small on bass provided backup vocals. Cold Chisel is, was and always will be, Australia's greatest band. They hail from my hometown of Adelaide.
Cold Chisel has just so many great sound but When Jimmy and Ian sing together it's another level and you still haven't done Bow River yet. You have a treat ahead for you.
@@ThatSingerReactions Someone suggested you won't find a good live version of Bow River. Not true. The version from those same Last Stand concerts is great.
Mossy's version of Georgia on my mind from 'the last stand' live 1983 you NEED to check this out just moss , don walker and mossys stratocaster, sublime
You'll find that as you listen to more of their songs, your favourite will keep changing - so many of them are great. Like others here, the live versions of One Long Day & Georgia are highly recommended.
“One of the most destructively powerful voices in history… His voice is that thunderous, it’s that powerful, it’s like a destruction, it’s like a hurricane, or a tornado, or an earthquake.”-ThatSingerReactions Dominic, you’re always such an astute observer. You’re right and what a fantastic description! I’ve been reading the Jimmy Barnes autobiography series (Working Class Boy, Working Class Man, Killing Time) and Jimmy states this is exactly what he wanted to be. He wanted to sing like and be like and have his band like a powerful, the most powerful destructive force of nature a band could possibly be. Jimmy suffered a destructive childhood and he was angry. He wanted to offend adults by being as loud and coarse as he possibly could. He wanted the band to spew anger and to be loud and to be destructive. He used to push the band to go faster and harder any way possible. He used to turn up Ian Moss’ amp and loud as he could when Ian wasn’t looking so the rest of the band was forced to turn up too. He used to goad Ian to go faster, he even used to jump on the backs of other band members to piss them off so they would go faster and harder. He wanted to whip the audience into a fury of energy any way he could. This pushing to and fro between Cold Chisel members is a major part of what made the energy of the band so powerful. The record producers tried to tame their sound down. This is why everyone says that their live performances were always so much more powerful than their recordings. This is why Cold Chisel fought with producers because they knew their appeal, they knew what their fans wanted. Cold Chisel did not want to be tamed. Once again, you’ve nailed it Dominic. You understand the essence of Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes. 🙂
Hey! Jimmy's playing here in Adelaide tonight, down on Glenelg beach, at a festival by the sea. Also playing is Diesel, Jon Stevens, Mondo Rock and Vanessa Amerosi. I can't afford tickets, but will be hitting the beach further down to listen to Jimmy later!! Woohoo!!!!
@ThatSingerReactions Thanks for introducing me to this Cold Chisel song Nick and too SAK230876 who 'requested' this :) BTW By 'Destructive' I think you mean he, "Tears it up!" Well, Tears it up, vocally. :)
Every Cold Chisel will be your favourite, just like every song has been for decades our favourite - Jimmy is awesome but "Mossy" is a legend in his own right 🇦🇺
The happiness in your face when you hear Barnesy and Mossy sing puts a smile on my face as well. If you ever listen to Mossy sing "Georgia" - especially the Barking Spiders version, you'll hear just how great a soul singer he is too. And if you are reading this - love your voice man, you got IT 🙏
I love your take on this extraordinary Australian band mate! They were all very talented in singing, songwriting and musical ability. Most still are. RIP Steve Prestwich. Legend.
They complimented each other so well, the Moss Barnes combination ruled my youth. Mossy is a brilliant artist in his own right, you need to check out more of his work
You know there's three things I love about vids like this.. A younger generation hearing and appreciating the music that defined mine. Realising how good the Aussie scene was. Getting to re live it. Great stuff mate.
You are playing my youth! Written by Don Walker, the keyboardist and most prolific song writer of Chisel about his daughter Danielle. Loooove when Barnsey and Mossy do their duo thing - this band knows how to build a song to a crescendo and bring it home!
100% agreed their vocals are the greatest I’ve heard in a rock group and yes they’re the main vocalist’s. This song gives me all the feels! Jimmy’s voice is primal.
Absolutely brilliant song and performance. I've just spent 11 days in the Maldives were Mossy and several other Aussie singers performed is a series of sunset concerts on the beach. Mossy's performances were off the richter scale. And now Chisel are rehearsing for their Big Five O tour that kicks off next month. I've got tickets for six of the shows - I'll be in Chisel heaven.
All the other band members sang very good background vocals on a lot their songs,when you listen to "When the war is Over" you'll appreciate Cold Chisel as one of the best vocal bands in the world (apart from being great musicians too).
Trivia for comment readers . If you watch interviews with Barnsey when Cold Chisel were on the way up, Jimmy spoke with an Aussie accent . Colin Hay from Men at Work did as well . Colin actually has mentioned in interviews which year he reverted to a Scottish accent. I thought perhaps when they were younger they wanted to fit in ,and when they got older wanted to stand out .
I love that you love this as much as we love it. Chisel is an institution in Oz. It was a right of passage for all males in the 70s/80s that they know all their songs well enough to sing them at the pub. You either loved Chisel, or you were unAustralian. Both artists are still touring (not together that often) and still sound amazing considering their age and previously life styles (especially Jim).
You sir deliver the most enjoyable and generous, as well as knowledgeable, reactions, thank you so much. I am an British fan of Chisel and Barnsey (as well as Farnham and Noiseworks/Jon Stevens etc) and am delighting in your delight at them. I was looking forward to this one knowing Mossy's bluesy intro giving way to Jimmy's full-on assualt would blow your mind and I wasn't disappointed!
Hi Jezza from Australia, I loved this song growing up, particularly this last stand version. So glad you loved it it really showcases Jimmy's amazing harmony work with Mossy. Have a listen to the album version of last days of summer, its another example of Jimmy's voice. Keep up the good work mate. Love your passion.
Great reaction Nick. This could be my new favourite too. Not sure if I’ve even heard this one before but I’ve definitely not heard it live. Astounding that these guys keep blowing you (and me) away. I think the whole band can sing and are all ridiculously talented musicians. As Simon says below Don Walker is a genius in his own right. He wrote a vast number of Cold Chisel’s discography. Many, many of them hits here in Australia and he wrote for other artists too. You should check out Tex, Don and Charlie
Cold Chisel still playing together to this day, albeit only on occasion, but still sounding on top of their game LIVE! I took my kids with me to see them in February 2020, and nevertheless a new generation of Chisel fans were born ❤️❤️❤️
Dude, fantastic reaction to the song,you had me smiling the whole way through! You also have a wonderful voice, this is the first video of yours that I have watched, looking forward to seeing more, big thumbs up!
Chisel plays every card in the pack. All five band members wrote songs - must have been some wild scenes as they made final choices for album track lineup. That diversity of writing alone puts them in a special place. And one of the five, Don Walker, knocked out poetic lyrics like he was writing grocery lists. Diversity... with five creative guys all writing, it's no surprise they moved through an array of styles: pub rock, blues, reggae, soul, rockabilly. Occasionally, out would come a radio-friendly pop tune. And how many of the select class of multi-writer bands had such a wealth of vocal talent to exploit? So often, they hit us with their patented one-two punch: Mossy opening the verse and chorus, Barnes filling in and harmonizing, then stepping forward for the bridge and unleashing his massive vocal power. The band knew they had a rare gift with these two fine but contrasting voices, and they wrote for this, played the drama for all it was worth. Jim Barnes can play the classic rock front man to perfection, but I love that he pulls it back and lets the band shine, lets Mossy shine, and just plays his part. So much better together.
You found the right concert, mate! Now buy the DVD... Barnesy won't give away the good stuff on this forum. It's the only Chisel IP worth with-holding and making you buy. Worth every cent, mate.
Love your reactions and insight into vocals, yeah Jimmy's voice is like the perfect storm! Jimmy and Ian's voices though so different sound so amazing together...it's sublime! You know they come from Adelaide and when I was in my 1st year of high school (1975) they played a free concert at our school, just wow little did we know how big they would become but we still felt very privileged that they played for us!
Love the way you sing this mate - would love to hear you do the whole lot... ( it's my favourite Cold Chisel song too )... if you want another great Chisel song, try When the War is Over , but from the Ringside album. Beautiful ballad.

I’ve been waiting for this! Great request, thanks 😊
Thanks for requesting this! 😃
Mossy is the rain and Barnsey the thunder, together they make the perfect storm!!
Don't you ever sleep? Hail as big as cricket balls in that analogy. Pay the Doc.
Love this analogy
@@Dr_KAP Hope all is well healthwise. Yeah, sleep is an abstract concept for me these days, too. At least it's not affecting your zingers.

That’s the thing with cold chisel whichever song you heard last is always your new favorite track by them they are all just that good!!!❤😂
Don Walker the keyboard player wrote this song about his daughter. Cold chisel will always be my favourite Aussie band because aside from their awesome musicianship skills, I love the stories they tell that are so relatable and emotive.
Some May remember Mossy, singing this to Myf warhurst on spicks and specks. Right next to her. She was ready to change her name .
I have a feeling Myf would b just as pleased changing it to Mannix & that's a worry. But yes,it was a great thing to watch
Yep .. 💗
'Don't put another human against Jimmy for safety reasons.' LOL Great public service announcement Dom! 🤣
Lmao
Haha I pissed my pants laughing when he said that, and in the early days Jimmy would have knocked your lips off your face if you looked at him wrong 👍😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺
Mossy is a super talented dude,chisel was the Anthem of Australia amazing talent

AC/DC will always be Australia's greatest band .
@@birdley9577 Yeah much as I love Cold Chisel you're right and they both come from Adelaide!
@@birdley9577 I love Acca Dacca but haven't considered them Australian for a long long time
@@Maizy1985 AC/DC come from Sydney, Doonside to be exact
Lots of love from Melbourne. Cold Chisel arrrrrrre Australias greatest Band ever!!!!!! Well done Adelaide!!!!!!!!!!😊
Mate, there are some chisel songs where Jimmy and Ian sing together and it sounds like a third person, a whole other person singing. What a great band
Ian Moss has an incredible voice. Thanks for reaction.
Ian Moss has the smoothest voice. Still does today! This is one of my favourite Cold Chisel song too Nick! Great reaction as usual. Peace... ✌
Mossy has the best voice in Aussie rock.
You need to listen to the live recording of "one long day" from 1978. Get ready to be blown away.
Looove that song! 😊
Cold Chisel has just so many great sound but When Jimmy and Ian sing together it's another level and you still haven't done Bow River yet. You have a treat ahead for you.
It's on my patreon lol
@@ThatSingerReactions no worries. Glad you haven't missed that gem.
@@ThatSingerReactions oh thank god you're doing Bow River, it's about time
@@ThatSingerReactions Someone suggested you won't find a good live version of Bow River. Not true. The version from those same Last Stand concerts is great.
@@afternoondelight-i7h I like the ringside version
The last stand in 83 was one of the best live shows of all time
40 years ago they did this show. And hearing it now just brings back so many memories. Thanks mate.
One of my most vivid memory of the last stand gig I went to was this song. When Jimmy comes in out of the darkness at the end. OMG!
Who needs Netflix when we have ThatSingerReactions.Love him!!
Mossy's version of Georgia on my mind from 'the last stand' live 1983 you NEED to check this out just moss , don walker and mossys stratocaster, sublime
I was just about to write the same thing . It’s spectacular! Mossy 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I'm sure he's done a reaction to that already.
@@wendyschneider4490 He has reacted to an acoustic version by Ian but not the GOAT version from the last stand.
@@wendyschneider4490 no he hasnt...he may be retricted
This was 39 years ago. Ian Moss is doing a show in my town, Dubbo, next month. He's awesome!
You'll find that as you listen to more of their songs, your favourite will keep changing - so many of them are great. Like others here, the live versions of One Long Day & Georgia are highly recommended.

Ian's voice is as smooth as silk to me. Under-rated for sure. Jimmy's is like hessian - sorry.
Nick I must let you know that many Australians - if not most acknowledge the talents and amazing vocals of (Ian Moss) Mossy.💯🇦🇺💥💫
You don't get many slow songs these days but this has been a favorite of mine for years, and strangely relaxing to listen to.
Hey! Jimmy's playing here in Adelaide tonight, down on Glenelg beach, at a festival by the sea. Also playing is Diesel, Jon Stevens, Mondo Rock and Vanessa Amerosi. I can't afford tickets, but will be hitting the beach further down to listen to Jimmy later!! Woohoo!!!!
I loved Mondo Rock in the 80's. I'd love to see a reaction to one of their tunes especially State of the Heart or Cool World.
May as well start the Mondo Rock journey with Daddy Cool then. 😃

Jimmy and his wife kept many Aussies sane during COVID lockdown with their covers of song...
Every Cold Chisel will be your favourite, just like every song has been for decades our favourite - Jimmy is awesome but "Mossy" is a legend in his own right 🇦🇺
So damn lucky to have grown up with this music! Remember this is nearly 40 years old 😁
The happiness in your face when you hear Barnesy and Mossy sing puts a smile on my face as well.
If you ever listen to Mossy sing "Georgia" - especially the Barking Spiders version, you'll hear just how great a soul singer he is too.
And if you are reading this - love your voice man, you got IT 🙏
The vocal right at the end by Jimmy is the cleanest I've heard from him.... I love this one and Saturday Night..... their blues is just beautiful....
Saw Mossy live a few years ago he still sings the same, was an awesome show!
Omg when Jimmy came in i almost passed out. All vocals were great but Jimmy was freaking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹🥰💞
Just that power knocks you off your feet
I love your take on this extraordinary Australian band mate! They were all very talented in singing, songwriting and musical ability. Most still are. RIP Steve Prestwich. Legend.
It's great to see you smiling that bright smile brother 😃
Thank you so much
I hope someday that someone loves me the way THAT SINGER REACTS loves Jimmy Barnes
Big Guy - the look on your face when Jimmy came belting through the door. Priceless!
Mossy is the man for conveying a particular mood and emotion, Barnsey is definitely destructible vocally 🤙🏼🍻 aptly described
This was written by keyboards Don Walker about missing his daughter Danielle.. Janelle was more phonetic..
Btw Chisel turns 50 next year 👍
50😳!! Omg, I'm old as dirt then , but then again, at least I've grown up with the best of the best that Aus has to offer 👌
And i think Danielle turns about 41 or 42 this year.
I should have read through the comments, I parrotted you above. LOL
Don did the song in it's original format with Tex,Don and Charlie
They complimented each other so well, the Moss Barnes combination ruled my youth.
Mossy is a brilliant artist in his own right, you need to check out more of his work
Being waiting for this one! Ian Moss is brilliant 💫❤️
Check out their song called Forever Now. Great reggae feel
Breakfast at Sweethearts for the reggae win!
It was their highest ranked song, khe Sanh was banned and that is why nobody has heard it
Thanks for playing my sisters favourite Chisel song. Jimmy always gives you a powerhouse performance.
100% one of my favourites. Always has been! Janelle Janelle Janelle. Seriously thought about naming one of my daughters after it.
classic Chisel! Gotta love em! One of my favourites.
You know there's three things I love about vids like this..
A younger generation hearing and appreciating the music that defined mine.
Realising how good the Aussie scene was.
Getting to re live it.

Hi Nick. Long time fan of your reactions,the thing with Cold Chisel every song becomes your favourite ❤️🇦🇺🤘🏼
I think the Bass Player has a reasonably good voice too and is great at 3 part harmonies

Personally my favourite Cold Chisel song umm, all from 1975 - 1983 #FACTS
I'm so glad you reacted to this one! It's always been one of my fave Cold Chisel songs! Thank you!
I love that you love this as much as we love it. Chisel is an institution in Oz. It was a right of passage for all males in the 70s/80s that they know all their songs well enough to sing them at the pub. You either loved Chisel, or you were unAustralian.
Both artists are still touring (not together that often) and still sound amazing considering their age and previously life styles (especially Jim).
Love your reviews. This is personally very Australian. Great that you vibe with it.

Jimmy's voice is like a force of nature.
Jimmy did have a solo album called "Cyclone", so close to your description of his voice. That has long been once of my favourite Chisel songs.
rarely if ever hear this song on the radio in nz always been one of my chisel favs
Loved this ♥️
Destructively Powerful, such a great line. Ps I love how much you love Chisel mate, we all do!
Love your work matey, thanks for the reaction
Chisel are one of the best bands Aus has to offer, just exclusively do their stuff for a week and I will be satisfied.
Mossy rocks! His voice is sublime. ❤
I will pay to listen to, Georgia on my mind “ , it’s unbelievable ❤❤❤❤
Highly recommend The Things I love In You by Cold Chisel. Incredible vocals from Jimmy.
RIP Steve Prestwich.
Janelle is one of my favorite song .. its bloody great and underrated
Ian moss is also a bloody legend... he's like ringo in the beatles
Need to check out Mossy doing Georgia On My Mind from the same gig. Absolutely fantastic
