100% go see this, then work your way through their other songs. As a band with 2 lead singers and incredibly skilled instrumentalists they can tackle a surprising mix of genres. You may remember them from a collaboration with Tina Turner many years ago
Many things us Australians say different like you say sidewalk we say footpath,flip flops are thongs. Flashlight,torch,wildfire,bushfire. Drugstore,chemist. Many others that I can’t think of at the moment.
COLD CHISEL is Australian rock royalty, and they remind you of 80s music because they were a big part of the 80s rock scene , ,. You mentioned contemplating a show featuring nothing but Australian content ,this idea has been done to death , but you could do a show with just Australian music that would keep you going for years . WE punch above our weight when it comes to musical acts , crossing all genres . For the most part ,Aussie acts are better live,a lot of them started their careers playing in clubs and pubs so they love the interaction of a live audience . They king of the Australian music industry is John Farnham who is still performing occasionally at the age of 74 he is the quintessential stage performer and no journey into Australian music should exclude him , you have my subscription which I don't give lightly and hope you have many more Aussie reactions
'Cold Chisel' - truly the greatest Rock band you've never heard of. This is a legendary Australian rock band, that although having massive supporter base and being beloved for 50 years in Oz, are known little outside these shores. Their live shows are legendary, songwriting greatness from all 5 band members and the unique vocal pairing of Jimmy Barnes (singer) and Ian Moss (guitarist) make every song an amazing journey. The discography is huge, but here are a couple of songs to get you started. 'When the war is Over' - live at 2003 Ringside tour (same one as Bow River)- Penned by Steve the drummer this ballad is haunting and beloved by many Aussies. ua-cam.com/video/x4Wwq9_zn_c/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ColdChisel Wild Thing - Live 1983 The Last Stand tour - even though they were breaking up at the time, still at the top of their game. This cover of The Troggs classic is quite possibly the greatest live rock track ever recorded. ua-cam.com/video/8Z6RjUi3rmE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=GlennThomas
That 2003 show was a special one. “When the War is Over” from the same gig is magnificent. Chisel is an iconic band with a whole lot of hits. Some studio stuff you might appreciate includes: Flame Trees Star Hotel You Got Nothing I Want (backstory to this - worth reading) Saturday Night My Baby Choir Girl Rising Sun
Hi guys Song is from the 1982 album Circus Animals (which doesn't have a bad track at all). This is a 2003 performance which was just the second reformation of the band after their initial break-up in 1983. First reformation was only 5 years prior in 1998. Cold chisel.is a whole band experience especially with guest players like Saxophonist Andy Bickers (there's been others over the journey) and the Harmonica player David Blight (he's been their guest player for 45 years) so he's not even in the band but gets several solos per concert. Also have a bevy of back-up singers too more recently (these include Jimmy's daughter Mahalia). Sadly the drummer Steve Preswitch passed away in January 2011. Charley Drayton sits on the drummer's stool nowadays and has done since the final recordings of the No Plans album and the massive national tour in late 2011, also been a national tour in 2015 and January 2020 with the odd special 1 off gigs. New albums have been released in 1998, 2012,2015 and 2019 with some great songs coming from the later catalogue. Steve went o to play in the little River band after the 1983 break-up. Great reaction.
Chisel are the epitome of Australian pub rock & I've forgotten more concerts than I can remember. They were the band of my late teens early 20's.. Love the reaction, keep em coming.. Oh, check out John Fanham while your at it.. you'll be blown away by his voice. His rendition of "Help" by the beatles(With the Melbourne symphany orchestra) is very special.
Now you got a taste of their 2003 performance, get a dose of their 1983 Last Stand concert 20 years prior Cold Chisel - Wild Thing from MusicHeals812 channel.
Jimmy Barnes (fondly known as Barnsey), lead singer of Cold Chisel, still keeps up a huge workload as he's never happier than when he's touring and playing. However he recently had to cancel all gigs due to a sudden illness but he is now out of hospital and recuperating after open heart surgery. Get well Barnsey!
A couple of Cliff Notes for you... The first song you did, Khe Sanh, was from their self titled debut album, released in 1978. Cheap wine came from their 3rd album, East in 1980. This track came from Circus Animals, 1982. Fun fact, the gentleman on harmonica also played on Khe Sanh, David Blight....
Saw chisel at the winter show building, Wellington, New Zealand. I think it was around 85,86? We primed up at the Tramway Hotel, Newtown, Wellington.In those days the Tramway was a Black Power pub.
They have some Sweet ballards like 'when the war is over' LIVE and Jimmy Barnes the back up singer with the raspy voice is a legend in Australia in his own right - you have to do more of him and Joh Farnham as well as more River Band Please
Happy New Year and it is happy any time Chisel gets played. And, yes, you got the right one. Chisel put out good studio albums but their reputation was made by their live shows. They started out in pubs and clubs playing to small audiences - maybe 200-250 people. I was fortunate enough to see them in the early days and they always gave it their all. I'd also recommend "When the War is Over" (Ringside) from the same show and "Wild Thing" (Last Stand). "Wild Thing" is a really good example of their early days. You should know that all the band wrote songs and they all sang. Jimmy Barnes is the obvious lead singer but Ian Moss the lead guitarist also sang lead a lot. I could say more, much more, but I'll leave it at that.
Cold Chisel took a swing at breaking into the American market. They flew to the US to have a meeting with one of the record labels (Elektra, I think) but the dude they were supposed to see didn't turn up because he went to a dogs funeral instead. So the band packed up, flew back home and wrote the song "You've got nothing I want" as a response. .. So the story goes. Not 100% sure about it but wouldn't be surprised if it was true.
Pub rock means anyunsigned group, paying their dues. You had to be good, or were thrown out. This group were very loved by pretty much the whole country. At their last stand concert they were about to go separate ways. They were so great at what they did, and there was a lot of infighting, they did not want to give less than their best, so they split. They have been back a few times since. The whole band are songwriters, so there is a lot of variety. The guitarist Ian Moss, or Mossy, is still going solo. You should try to find him from the last stand concert, doing Georgia, it wasn't on the playlist, and it was just him and the piano player. He did this so well. The band did go to America, but were messed around by the record execs, so Jimmy Barnes, Barnsey, the second lead singer, wrote, you've got nothin' I want, after they came home. Jimmy is a living national treasure, just now getting over heart surgery, he started using his vocal fry at around age 16, and folks said he should stop that screaming, or he'd lose his voice. He's a grandpa now and still got it. See him and Joe Bonamassa, with stone Cold, or Lazy. He recently put out an anniversary album, with a few extras, including a collab with Sam Moore from your Sam & Dave, on Soothe Me. Get well Jimmy.
A HEAVY rock band that performed ballads so well, many of their most popular songs are slower ballads or softer rock songs. Every band member writes great songs, and their best ballad, When The War is Over, was written by the drummer, Steve Prestwiche. Guitarist Ian Moss ( Mossie ) does the leed vocals on Bow River and many ballads, but Jimmy Barnes, with the big gravelly voice, is the leed singer and part time backing singer. lol Check out an older Jimmy Barnes doing a cover duet of Sam n Daves When Something Is Wrong With My Baby... ..with John Farnham. Billed as Farnsey and Barnesy. Also Stone Cold......Jimmy Barnes with Joe Bonamassa burning the blues on his salvaged vintage Les Paul.
You could have a look at Jimmy Barnes' collaboration with Joe Bonamassa - the soulful "Stone Cold" ... it has one of the greatest guitar solos in it, as well as Jimmy's incredible voice at its best....
Cold Chisel are essentially hard rock but they do ballads the best. I suggest When the War is Over, Janelle, or Four Walls. Another great live performance is their cover of Wild Thing from their Last Stand concert.
I live in South Australia, more to the point, in the suburb of Largs Bay. It was at the Largs Bay Hotel, just around the corner from where I lived, that Cold Chisel had regular weekend engagements. The crowd that went to each engagement was fiercely loyal to Cold Chisel, and if you wanted your nose broken, just make a disparaging remarks about the band. I never did, I loved their music too much. Those were the heady days of the 1970s.
If you are going into Aussie music there is so many directions you could go . The second singer Jimmy Barns has a huge back catalog with many duets like John Farnham , When something is wrong with my baby . Even a duet with Joe Bonamassa , Stone cold. John Farnham's Help with the Symphony Orchestra , his duet with Olivia Newton John , Please don't ask me. The Black sorrows , Never let me go or if you like heavy rock you cant go past ACDC live at Dinner plate Argentina. INXS , pronounced in excess are also another unique funk rock band that had massive international following.
For something at the other end try Breakrfast at Sweethearts or Flame Trees, Thanks, all their songs were written by the keyboard player Don Walker, great writer.
Happy New Year. Thanks heaps for another amazing reaction to Cold Chisel. This performance is just phenomenal and next level and your right This is fun. Can you please react to Cold Chisel “when the war is over” live at this same venue
“Cheap Wine” is the name of the song you’re looking for. You two are delightful! 🙂 I’ve just subscribed in hopes of your new Aussie content channel. Happy to explore it with you. Happy new year and much love from Australia xxx
Happy New Year to all in the Northern Hemisphere. 🎉🎉🎉 Believe me when a lot of Australians tells you they have a huge catalogue of brilliant songs. They started in the 70's. The regular band consists of Jimmy Barnes on lead vocals, Ian Moss who sang most of this song on vocals and guitar, Don Walker who wrote so many of their hits on keys, Phil Small on bass, and Steve Prestwich RIP on drums. Dave Blight played the harmonica (and whilst he was not always in the band he did play with them over the years. He was just fabulous here, don't you agree?) Check out One Long Day from 1978. To see Jimmy's pure rock god performance of "Wild Thing" from the Last Stand concert. So many good live performances out there to choose from. This 1982 concert has some brilliant performances. See Forever Now at 39 minutes into the concert, Letter to Allan the next subsequent song, and When Something is Wrong with my Baby at 1 hour and 39 minutes or so. (and so many many more). Enjoy ua-cam.com/video/zc3gDLjqZyQ/v-deo.htmlsi=GsRThiMf3xmDPtn9
Great reaction to a great song by a great band. It's good that this song highlights both lead singers (both have their own solo career) - Ian moss (playing lead as well) and Jimmy Barnes together are magic. Bow river is both a river (in the Top End of Australia - specifically the Kimberley region) and the name of a station (farm). It's near where the world famous Argyle Diamond Mine is. When this song was written, Adelaide (some 3000km south of Bow River) was the car manufacturing capital of Australia and this song was about the difference between the mindless manufacturing jobs there and life in the far north.
A song beloved by most who see it. Great musicianship and a hark back to when people were free to flick the crap job they’d had and make a break. But youz hated it no matter what the little bits of nice little bits of little things you had to say to maintain the channel.
So glad you're enjoying Cold Chisel, I thought I'd offer up a couple other Aussie bands we love, Powderfinger with a live performance ua-cam.com/video/7XaSm9-r_4U/v-deo.htmlsi=0xl2Gv_Txx_nB4ND and Pete Murray who's voice I love ua-cam.com/video/wLxe-Y_CZtw/v-deo.htmlsi=Up1dyCV1ukO0WbDR this ones from his Feeler album which I murdered in my car years ago. Loving your reactions keep it up guys!
Cold Chisel formed in 1973 broke up 15 Dec 1983 40 years ago after the Cold Chisels last stand concert in Sydney . They reformed in 1998 . That's why you see Jimmy Barnes or Ian Moss as a Solo artist during that 15-year period . They go right across the spectrum, check this song Flame Trees from the late 70's totally different again but very poignant ua-cam.com/video/K8KgP2aOXcA/v-deo.htmlsi=3b8RkuEDqV40FkHr
This song was the B side of For ever Now, people kept requesting this side LOL The pub circuit in Aussie was a crucible that forged great acts if you could not draw & hold an audience you did not make it most Australian bands have great stage presence due to this
They started in the late 70's and broke up in the late 80's then Jimmy Barnes went solo then they got back together again Jimmy has just had his second open heart surgery about 3 weeks ago doing fine he's only 85
I must agree with AndyFNQ84. Wild thing live is an awesome version. And to see how they don’t just stick to one genre type, check out BREAKFAST AT SWEETHEARTS, has a reggae style vibe to it
They used to visit the remote areas as well. Out door concerts. Small crowds. They were humble. I remember sitting just feet from the stage on the lawn.
harmonica riff at 6:20 is my fav bit.....sounds like a bit of tumbleweed rolling down a street or an old bush gate swinging in the wild windy night storm
Cold Chisel have been one of Australia's premier rock bands since their beginnings in 1973 ( I first saw them play in 1975 ). They have disbanded and reformed a few times over the years. Every concert though is delivered full bore.
They've obviously given up on the brilliant Cold Chisel, though the most ear-friendly tunes ''My Baby'' and ''Forever Now'' have been suggested to them. Hope they're enjoying the views Redgum and Chisel have awarded them. Enjoy the Country and Western. I'm out.
Their second most viewed video is Redgum, and they want to stick to country music and Hall & Oates and Billy Joel and other stuff that they claim they've never heard. I'm Canadian, but I lived in Australia many years ago. They're too scared to go near the real Aussie rock stuff. Another con channel trying to sell merch.
@@Highway61Revisted I'm sick of channels like this. They're clout chases and complete liars. Pretending to not know popular songs. I checked because I thought they were open minded and curious. Not so judging from their other content. I don't even want to be reminded of a channel that only views videos that get them views.
Same group, same concert "When the wat is over". See another side of their brilliance. If you want to start researching AU stuff be careful, we use words differently. To you "root" is to support your team, to us it means something a bit ruder.
You picked the right version to watch!
This is great. You want to hear them when they when young and wild, check out their live performance of "Wild Thing" - best version of that song ever
100% go see this, then work your way through their other songs. As a band with 2 lead singers and incredibly skilled instrumentalists they can tackle a surprising mix of genres. You may remember them from a collaboration with Tina Turner many years ago
I love how the Big Fella puts his head back when he’s trying to understand the lyrics! You guys are rad!
Australian music is a deep but rewarding rabbit hole. The Aussie theme channel is up to you, but... musically speaking, there's a lot..
Fantastic song and reaction! Yep the best version!
hooray , you picked the right version. all oz music must be seen live. it has great power and lifts the roof, if there is one.
Greatest band ever to come out of Oz.

I’ve seen Cold Chisel many times live over the years, including recently. They have always put on one hell of a show ❤

Cold Chisel are getting together to celebrate 50 years with a series of concerts across Australia & NZ later in 2024
Great reaction guys...👍
I love how Jimmy walks off the stage at the end like a boss.
A couple of Cliff Notes for you...

Jimmy Barnes (the lead singer) backing up Mossy haha
God Bless from Australia ❤
Recorded 82 or 83. No wonder it reminded you of 80's music
Yes, you did get the right one. Strap yourself in !
Happy New Year and it is happy any time Chisel gets played.
And, yes, you got the right one.

Good on ya for getting back to them! I was beginning to think it was a two and done. Happy new year from Australia!

When The War Is Over from the same concert. Unreal
Cold Chisel are essentially hard rock but they do ballads the best. I suggest When the War is Over, Janelle, or Four Walls. Another great live performance is their cover of Wild Thing from their Last Stand concert.
Yeah!!! Now please do Wild Thing.. their live version of that Troggs tune.. from 83!
Wild Thing, you make make heart sing…..
Check out Cold Chisel’s cover. Best version of Wild Thing ever.
I live in South Australia, more to the point, in the suburb of Largs Bay. It was at the Largs Bay Hotel, just around the corner from where I lived, that Cold Chisel had regular weekend engagements.

you don't need me to recommend wild thing, but I will anyway... 1983 last stand concert!!!

Believe me when a lot of Australians tells you they have a huge catalogue of brilliant songs.
They started in the 70's. The regular band consists of Jimmy Barnes on lead vocals, Ian Moss who sang most of this song on vocals and guitar, Don Walker who wrote so many of their hits on keys, Phil Small on bass, and Steve Prestwich RIP on drums. Dave Blight played the harmonica (and whilst he was not always in the band he did play with them over the years. He was just fabulous here, don't you agree?)

They started in the late 70's and broke up in the late 80's then Jimmy Barnes went solo then they got back together again Jimmy has just had his second open heart surgery about 3 weeks ago doing fine he's only 85
You meanie! Jimmy's not that old!! 😂
Try Rose Tattoo, Bad boy for love, One of the boys, Rock and Roll outlaw, and the Butcher and Fast Eddie.
I must agree with AndyFNQ84. Wild thing live is an awesome version. And to see how they don’t just stick to one genre type, check out BREAKFAST AT SWEETHEARTS, has a reggae style vibe to it
They used to visit the remote areas as well. Out door concerts. Small crowds. They were humble. I remember sitting just feet from the stage on the lawn.
harmonica riff at 6:20 is my fav bit.....sounds like a bit of tumbleweed rolling down a street or an old bush gate swinging in the wild windy night storm
That is a great summation of the sound that Dave is trying to imbue into his part. Excellent pick up with that.
Try Barnsey and Farnsey
Cold Chisel have been one of Australia's premier rock bands since their beginnings in 1973 ( I first saw them play in 1975 ). They have disbanded and reformed a few times over the years. Every concert though is delivered full bore.
Howdy from oz ..check out (Tina turner and Jimmy barnes song: simply the best...)
l think they go together well
Yes please.
React when the war is over live 2003. It's from the same concert
As as Aussie, I just want to ask if you're sure you want to make a channel on Aussie stuff? A lifetime supply of Vegemite is not for everybody.
Check out stone cold jimmy barnes ft joe bonamassa
Surprisingly this wasn’t a hit single at the time. .it wasn’t even released as a single!
I remember it being the B side of forever now. We had so much good music during that era in OZ☝🏻🤔😜
HNY yanks 😉
Not sure if they're yanks. I think they're either from the midwest or the south.
I am a true Yankee...Jim on the other hand is a true southerner ;-)
@@ThisandThat-JC I'm very pleased to see you two have sorted out those differences. 😉
Sorry guys "yanks" is just a common term for Americans us Aussies use
Tuckers daughter, anyone?
They've obviously given up on the brilliant Cold Chisel, though the most ear-friendly tunes ''My Baby'' and ''Forever Now'' have been suggested to them. Hope they're enjoying the views Redgum and Chisel have awarded them. Enjoy the Country and Western. I'm out.
Their second most viewed video is Redgum, and they want to stick to country music and Hall & Oates and Billy Joel and other stuff that they claim they've never heard. I'm Canadian, but I lived in Australia many years ago. They're too scared to go near the real Aussie rock stuff. Another con channel trying to sell merch.
@@Highway61Revisted I'm sick of channels like this. They're clout chases and complete liars. Pretending to not know popular songs. I checked because I thought they were open minded and curious. Not so judging from their other content. I don't even want to be reminded of a channel that only views videos that get them views.
Same group, same concert "When the wat is over". See another side of their brilliance. If you want to start researching AU stuff be careful, we use words differently. To you "root" is to support your team, to us it means something a bit ruder.
They had a lot of other songs that weren't this intense. Anyway, looks like you've given up on them.. moving on.
Fuck yeah.. I'm moving on too. This is a fucking joke of a channel. What a couple of wussies.
Have to say ya grandpa doesn't look to impressed.
