    As an Aussie I’m so rapt you did this one! The guys name is Jimmy Barnes, and he’s a powerhouse. Back when this was recorded, he was a terrifyingly huge drinker and this shows the raw talent he still had. He’s cleaned up now, but still a national legend!

      Not to mention, he was about 50% amphetamines...but yeah, Barnsey is 100% Aussie rock god (despite actually being Scottish).
      .
      Btw guys, I am so glad you did this one. Reactions to Cold Chisel are *extremely* few and far between.
      Which is amazing. I'm sure you've heard of the "big 4" of thrash? Well, Chisel was one of the big 3 of Oz Rock, along with The Angels and AC/DC. I know you know Akka Dakka, but check out "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?" by The Angels (preferably something recorded live in Australia - you'll see why 😏).

    One of my favourite rock bands. You should listen to "Bow River" live which features the lead guitarist (Ian Moss), who has a great voice, singing with the lead singer, Jimmy Barnes. Jimmy Barnes is a legend in Australia. These blokes were brilliant live and they cover so many different genres of rock. Another good Cold Chisel song is "Flame Trees". I subscribed because you often listen to Metallica and now you've added a Cold Chisel song. Great stuff!

    Thankyou for this reaction. Love you guys. Jimmy is a living legend here in Oz. Absolutely prolific performer with Cold chisel, and as a solo artist. check out "Big Enough" by Kirin J. Callinan, as a giggle. He released an autobiography, Working Class Boy a few years ago. He speaks out about child abuse now following his own experiences. But for a harmonica artist like no other…Chris Wilson, RIP, would have to be one of the best. And his blues music and soulful voice make him a must for you to hear, Julia

    The boys who were running the Aussie pavilion at the Shanghai expo in 2010 used to close the pavilion at 6pm then do a live show round the back until midnight. All the other countries used to just close down. So the Aussie live show drew big crowds. I got them to play this one night and then remembered there might be a problem with a particular line - they improvised with ‘there ain’t nothing like the kisses of a beautiful Chinese princess, I’m gonna hit some Hong Kong nightclub all night long’
    Ps Flame Trees is always my favourite Chisel. That, and forever now and when the war is over.

    Australians who grew up in the 80s and 90's know what they got.
    We're well aware of the absolute world class talent and the plethora of incredible rock we produced at that time.
    With a population at the time of around 16 million, along side the United States Southern rock movement, Australia owned rock'n roll at that time.
    It was an incredible time to be alive because we all knew it.
    These were our anthems.
    Rock on my Gen X Aussie brothers and sisters.
    Thanks for your interest.

    I was pulled out of school, funnily enough it was during music class, and I got to go to the theatre to see them play.
    They were so amazing, Jimmy's voice is still absolutely amazing.
    But during this song and Flame Trees, I saw everyone jump down the building and join the main crowd down the bottom. I'm talking people who were well into their 50's jumping down the stairs to run and make a mosh pit.
    I've been to quite a few gigs, not sure I'll ever beat that one.

    This was a huge " pub anthem" but was never a commercial hit the line " and their legs were often open but their minds were always closed" had it banned from radio. the other thing about them was if you went along to a concert you couldn't sing along. As they were so drunk and wasted they forgot the lyrics and the order of the verses. at one concert singing bow river Ian Moss made up a hole new verse on the spot. But that is one of the reasons we loved them and they just rocked. sounds lame but it was awesome saw them too many times to remember and every concert was awesome. check out, bow river, flame trees, when the war is over, breakfast at sweethearts ,just to name a few.
