Chrissy was a wild child back in the 80's in Australia much loved and missed RIP if you were lucky enough to have seen them live you would never forget it peace out .
I agree, amaaaazing live
I saw them several times live. Brilliant!
Saw them once, They were great. Chrissy had a real presence on stage...............
I certainly haven't forgotten that Saturday night at the Westside Tavern in Laverton in 1981!
Saw them live standing right by the stage. I will never forget it!!!
Chrissy Amplett was one of the greatest people to ever front a rock band, anywhere worldwide, male or female.
Facts !! She definitely hasn't been given enough praise .. her energy , uniqueness of her voice .. unmatched !
agree totally...
I think possibly topping Bon Scott as greatest frontman/woman at times. She was electric.
@@dolphinberserk ooh I dunno, cant beat Bon,she definitly beat female front singer,met her years ago when divinals first started out pips niteclub brisbane, pinched her on the arse as she went past,I got a huge slap in the face, didnt want to wash that side of my face ever😂😂😂, I was 18 at the time, huge crush😍
@@dolphinberserk What are u talking about⁉️.. Even Michael Hutchence was even better than either of those 2. He was the nation's best Frontman of a band.
Chrissy had MS... so unfortunately when she contracted Breast Cancer she was unable to have orthodox treatment like chemo as it would have fast tracked the MS also. Very sad...lovely lovely lady and a legend in Oz...
Americans think Divinyls were one hit wonders with "I Touch Myself". They were so much more here. Chrissy also did musical theatre, playing Judy Garland in "The Boy from Oz." Divinyls were TIGHT!
I have found whenever I explained this to Americans, the response is always - The American market is the only market that matters. If you don't make it here, you failed.
@@TheNakedWombat Tunnel vision, eh? This from the country which sent us the music of Tony Orlando and Dawn.
@@TheNakedWombat alot of awesome Aussie bands weren’t interested in American music, they made it in Australia,that’s for sure 👍
@@MandyRRAh Never heard of them.
@@TheNakedWombat Excellent. Don't look them up. Stay untarnished.
Love this bit in an article written for her when she died
"...On stage, especially earlier in her career, she would throw shapes calculated not to titillate or to tease but to shock, offend, outrage and frighten. It was potent, sure, but it was also uncomfortable and confusing, because Amphlett didn’t allow herself to be easily assimilated. Her act, exemplified by her wearing a school uniform with torn fishnets - a metaphor for defiled innocence - was a contradiction. Hunching her back, screaming with the primal force of a cornered animal, she presented herself as damaged goods, and was convincing enough to make you wonder if you might in some way be responsible.
From all accounts, she was as insecure as any performer. And maybe, as she grew older and presumably more at ease with herself, she also became more comfortable with expressing her sexuality in a more conventional way; both in her lyrics and in the band’s videos. Or perhaps that was a price she was prepared to pay for the band’s success in the age of MTV.
Sure, I Touch Myself may the best song about pushing the hot button ever written, but still, I preferred the earlier, more challenging version, back when Amphlett didn’t wear make-up, and her haircut was more severe. Back when she bared her teeth - knowing they were jagged, and that there were gaps in her smile. Were the Divinyls getting started now, a manager or record company lackey might have told Amphlett to get that smile fixed.
I’d like to think she would have told them to go f-ck themselves...."
Agreed with that
Ed sheeran’s song where he sings “I don’t need you, you need me” or something like that, was about a former manager who told him that he would never make it, because of his looks.
I’m sure he regrets it today 😂
Actually in regard to this "Were the Divinyls getting started now, a manager or record company lackey might have told Amphlett to get that smile fixed" I heard that a record company did that exactly and Chrissy told them to sod off
Ahh Chrissie what a rock goddess. What a voice. No one else ever had that light bar microphone stand. She has a Lane named after her in Melbourne loved her 🇦🇺⚡️❤️🔥❤️🔥🤘🏿💜💜💜. Her cousin little Pattie Amphlett had a hit song at 14 .
Ah yes! Little Pattie and “He’s my blond headed, stompie-wompie, real gone surfer boy” 😀🏄♀️. Longest song title ever and just been entered into the Aus National Film and Sound Archive as an official “sound of Australia.
Forget the mic stand. She did
Pattie is her sister
My dad worked on Chrissy's house and she use to come out at 8am to say hi in a robe with a tallie ( 40oz beer) and say hi and offer the guys a beer. absolute legend
Your appreciation of music is unparalleled and eclectic mate, such diversity and understanding, I love your channel and your reactions
Ditto ✌️🍷🖤
So glad you liked that, mate. RIP Chrissy. She left her mark on this world.
So ahead of their time. So many memories of when I was 20 in Australia. They were huge here. Chrissie is a legend still.
Yes! A Great Aussie band who I grew up with. My favourite of theirs was ‘Pleasure and Pain’ … I still turn it uuuuuup when it comes on the radio. Such a powerful song 🖤
RIP Chrissy
PS- love all the Australian music you review… thank you
it's a fine fine line 😁
@@suave-rider yes it is 😄
Break my body with the back of your hand/ doesn't make sense from where I stand.
Chrissy makes me proud to be Australian.
The 80s were a great time for aussie rock\pop. Chrissy was the sultriest of the era. (Along with Suze DeMarchi). Check out some 'Baby Animals'.
Agreed, awesome time for Aussie rock. Banger of a Baby Animals track is Early Warning.
Painless, One Word etc. there’s a great Creedence cover band that regularly plays gigs called Proud Mary, featuring a couple of the lads from Baby Animals. They still gig often in Perth.
Baby animals rock
Aussie rock chick's are THE BEST! 💪😎🎙🎶🔥❤
Grew up with this era of awesome Australian rock🤘Timeless to this day👍
This is from an era that was the heyday of live music on the pub circuit in Australia. The pub band scene in Melbourne was massive at the time, to the point that if you couldn't find a pub with a rock band playing on both Friday and Saturday night you must have been house-bound. Plenty of very good bands just never got the break that others did.
If you couldn't find a good band playing any night of the week. Pokies ruined the live music scene in Melbourne.
Chrissie Amphlett and the Divinyls, so original and all time favourites. She was unique and mesmerising, the band, so good. Legends.
Criminally underrated band. Glad you are hearing this.
It’s so hard to believe just how good we’ve had it “down under” when it comes to music. Your reactions are priceless Nick!
One of the best rock performers live, equal parts sexy AF and terrifying.
I got the privilege to be able to see the Divinyls live at a pub in the town o was living in. I was 17 they where fantastic live. Chrissy always wearing that school girls uniform. The place went off like a frog in a sock.
We miss you Chrissy, gone to soon. Such a great band, I love your reactions:-)
Chrissie Amphlett - what performer. And there's a lane in Melbourne named after her too.
You gotta check pleasure and pain.
Tina Arena did this in your reaction video a couple of days ago, as she said, a tribute to Chrissy. You should check out some more Divinyls - Chrissy was really something special.
Saw The Divinyls in Sydney back in.the early 80s and she absolutely rocked and she did a cartwheel on stage and had no knickers on! She was wild and I idolised her. She broke a lot of female stereotypes with her honest raw talent and voice. RiP.
I’m still haunted by that sight… suspenders and nothing more ! What a naughty gal she was.
Proud Aussie girl here and this band was yes part of my teens. 🇦🇺❤
You should try Doh-Re-Mi - great Aussie band Deborah Conway lead singer - fabulous Mezzo Soprano - check out their hit "Man Overboard" as a starting point -love the whole "Domestic Harmony" album.
Debra Conway also had a lead actress role in an awesome Aussie movie titled Running on empty.
*not to be confused with an American movie with the same name.
Their 'I ain't gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore' song was in the 90's Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. It's another good one!
She was amazing live on stage ,she was special and one of the best Aussie greatest.
Another great Aussie pub band... Only 100 to go!..... Back in the day just about every pub would have a live bank on Friday and Saturday night... It would draw a crowd and beer sales would go up. So there was plenty of work for anybody that could hold a tune (or not) or play an instrument. This meant plenty og gigs, plenty of practice. You would start in some shitty little dive and work your way up to better and bigger pubs. That is why the 70s and 80s produced ssoo many great bands... These days ((even before covid) you would struggle to find live music anywhere. So, I'm dead serious when I say you will spend the rest of your life discovering great Australian music🇦🇺. In the same way as bands would move to bigger and better paying pubs the best of the Kiwi
Music would find its way over to Sydney, Melbourne etc. Like Jon Stevens.
I think that most Australians growing up during that era remember heading out to the pubs on a Friday or Saturday night to see one of the great bands around at the time. Divinyls and Hunters and Collectors being two of my favorites to see .
The pub rock days were awesome.
So grateful I got to experience that era and that scene. Before the pokies killed the pub bands.
Miss these days so much!
Mother Goose even arrived. Hahah awesome
Chrissy Amphlett is a wonderful singer and has given her heart to Australia. We will never forget that band an Crissy as their singer. A gutsy girl with a heart of gold.
From what I remember her microphone is taped to a flourescent light tube. She’s wearing what was back then the standard public high school winter uniform - I had once of those back in the 1980’s.
I saw the Divinyls the first time in Sydney in the early 80's , before their first single, she had her mic attached to a ' mechanics flouro tube ' . great stage effect. She used it as a 'toy' onstage . Side note, the bass player joined this band after leaving Air Supply .
Chrissy also played with Jimmy Barnes, INXS, Kate Cebrano and many Aussie artists at the Australian Made Concert in the 80s
She was a blast❤
I was there in Sydney. Incredible performances.
The most beautiful Chrissy Amphlett, school uniform, fishnet stockings, high heels and one of the best front women ever to be in the business. She is very much missed by those who followed her music.
Check out "Pleasure & Pain", "I touch myself", "Only Lonely" & "Science Fiction". All great songs by the Divinyls. Used to love watching Chrissy back in my teen years.
She was the Planet Earth's Rock Goddess. She has no equal.
As soon as I saw you were checking out The Divinyls I had to hear. The Divinyls have legendary status in Aus. Chrissy is a force of nature, like Debbie Harry. Please hear "Only Lonely" and "Talk like the Rain".
🐾
and ‘Back To The Wall’.
Chrissy is actually from my hometown - My dad went to high school with her…
There is a laneway in the city center covered in artwork dedicated to her too.
Ur Dad is a lucky lucky bastard. She came out to where I worked looking at getting a Corvette from USA and converted to RHD. That week I was on holidays and missed her visit. The guys rang me and I thought they were bullshitting. Still burns me.
Now you're talking! Chrissy sang on one of the versions of Good Times with Jimmy Barnes and INXS. "Cancer Council, JWT Sydney and friends and family of Chrissy Amphlett have joined forces to launch the ‘I Touch Myself Project’, raising awareness of breast cancer as a tribute to the Australian vocalist who passed away from the disease almost a year ago.
Leading female artists including Olivia Newton John, Sarah McLeod and Connie Mitchell amongst others have lent their support to the campaign, which kicks off with a 2.5 minute music video.
The video is supported by two 60-second TV ads, radio, digital billboards..."
Chrissy Amphlett! the Divinyls were great. She is wearing a school uniform. in my mind she was the school girl equivalent to Angus Young's (AC/DC) school boy
Oooh I got goosebumps. What a privilege to grow up listening to all these aussie bands /artists you are reviewing 😍
There I was in the late 80's at the Raffles in W.A. beer in hand cigarette in the other standing near the stage watching her sing. She reached down and took my smoke and I just stood there as she sang and finished my smoke... in love. :)
I think I would have melted there and then. I have had a crush on her since my late teens, and now in my mid fifties nothing has changed. You win with that story!
She was an amazing singer
Chrissie what a Rock Chick .....RIP Babe💞
There were 2 Chrissie's who were brilliant at around the same period, Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders & Chrissy Amphlett from The Divinyls. I loved them both. They were both amazing live apparently as well as on video. Amphlett was a very naughty gal.
Here's another Chrissie, Chrissie Hammond with her sister in Cheetah. Can never have too many Chrissie's. ruclips.net/video/tBXxcERke-I/видео.html
I saw both very close up !
Hynde in Coventry when I lived there. And Amphlett in Sydney when I migrated. Amphlett was a goddess. A naughty one.
So glad someone else thinks this! I can’t seem to think about one without the other. Esp since the Pretenders ended up covering Divinyls’ “Human On the Inside”!
Nice reaction & comments. You should react to them singing "Pleasure & Pain" one of my favs from them back than in the mid 80's.
Fantastic video brother. I love seeing people react to Chrissy for the first time. You either, get it and are instantly hooked. Or you don't. For those who don't, I feel sorry for you. She was a powerhouse. Her stage persona like no one else. She was also a mighty actress. I saw them live quite a few times. Best concerts I have ever been to. I miss you Chrissy.
Glad you liked 'our' Divynyls. This was the song that launched their career here in Australia.
My ultimate rock chick! I cried for days when she passed. Christy also entered theater in the Peter Allen stage show The Boy from Oz as Judy Garland which I was lucky enough to see here in Melbourne
Christine Amphlett, power house Oz singer & performer.
She wore the school girl unifom, like Angus Young of ACDC wore the schoolboy uniform with backbag.
1959 - 2013 R.I.P.
They’re absolutely amazing 😉🇦🇺🇦🇺🥂🥂
Back in my days at school, I wore a school uniform, that one is called a Tunic 😂😂 I still have mine & wear it a costume parties 🥳😉😉
She was great, May she RIP 🙏🙏🌹
#RIP Chrissy Amphlett, true Aussie music icon.
Chrissy was such a great singer and fantastic performer.
Seeing her perform live was a whole new experience for young men in Australia.
R.I.P Chrissy.
Love Chrissie Amphlet! More from The Divinyls please - Pleasure and Pain, Science Fiction, Elsie, I’m Jealous. The clip you watched was from the movie Monkey Grip, starring Nonie Hazelhurst, in the early 80s. The band had been playing in pubs in Melbourne and were asked to do the movie soundtrack and play minor roles (Chrissie played a supporting character in the film). The soundtrack probably did better than the movie itself, and they shot up the charts and stayed there through the 80s and 90s.
Chrissy Amphlett was an amazing rock singer as well as professional singer in other ways. Glad you're discovering her. :)
Rest in Peace Chrissie Australia loves you.Great song from a great band and a sublime lead singer
🎼🎤 RIP Chrissy. Lost but not forgotten.
Chrissie is probably the only person in the world who could sing the line “I might kick her face in” and still sound sound sensual (from the song I’m Jealous)!
Oh Chrissy 🙏🏼 😔
So glad you reviewed and liked this song so much. There’s so many awesome 80’s Aussie bands. Models, Hoodoo Guru’s, The Angels, just to name a few more, that you could add to your workout play list. ✌️
RIP Chrissy.. absolute legend x
And her pout was real! So great to see you being mind blown by all the best Oz music from my youth!
our female Angus! Damn she's awesome, passive/aggressive pent up bomba! And yes yo bangs should ALWAYS cover your eyes! I remember having a conversation with La Toya Jackson about her and this and Chrissy amazing look, LT said to me, make sure your bangs cover your eyes like her! hehe funny things....
what a stage presence - saw the Divinyls playing at the Warners Bay Hotel all them years ago, and she knocked holes in the wall! Vale, Chrissy...you are missed.
RIP Chrissy. I like "Jealous" - it hits hard, from the very first line.
I'm so glad you picked this one up bro. She was my schoolboy crush (and most of Australia's too) so sad when she passed away. Awesome music. Your love of music is infectious!
Almost 40 years later still a schoolboy crush 😻!
The Divinyl s were awesome live, Crissy Amphlet was very raunchy on stage , I actually had seen her live and she pee’d on stage lol she just kicked ass !!
Yes she did alot of us saw it ..just added to the legion of her..
My bf was at that show and told me about that - I couldn’t believe it!
I was just thinking about the wee thing, I remember hearing that she would do that onstage because she couldn't be f#@cked having to leave the stage ... Personally I don't care what reason she had because it's so funny! I was just thinking about this and wondering if it was true when I saw your comment.
As a 15yr old lad, my first Divinyl's concert was an education to say the least!
When Chrissie died so did every real man’s hard on in Australia. The hottest and loudest female that ever stepped foot on a stage. She fought a hard fight in her final battle but she lives on in our dreams. The queen of cool.
I was filling my car when the news came over the radio being piped around the servo. I dont rem driving home. The arse definitely fell out of the world that day.
Divinyls Great Band ..RIP Chrissy
There was an attempt to reform the band in 2018 with American Lauren Ruth Ward up front , Chrissy Amphlett died in 2013 , Ward had recorded a cover of
I TOUCH MY SELF with John McEntee , the blond guy in the video who wrote the songs with Amphlett they formed the band
The new band was supposed to tour Australia in 2019 but was cancelled , I don't know how this would have gone down I heard there was a backlash from us old fans as Chrissy has rock saint hood down here , before she died she gave the song I TOUCH MYSELF to the cancer council
Not only did she die of cancer but she had been battling MS as well , so sad , will be forever young forever beautiful
We had so much great music in Australia. Pity it’s gone. Billy Thorpe was my favourite live. He would be smiling while his music would peel your face off. R.I.P. Thorpie.
Time it during your workout, so that when you're walking out the door, the song is ending.
No seriously, this song has a pepped up beat with a classic punk sound to it. The howling guitar sound (that's what I am going to call it) is a standout for me... and Chrissy's vocals and presence. Don't underestimate this lady's vocal ability, she could have sang anything under the sun, and you'd be crying for more.
It was always great to go to a gig with Chrissie and her band playing...you couldn't help but dance when they got going. 👍👍🤗🤗💝
That was brilliant, what a presence Chrissy Amphlett had (& still does). She, the band smashes it, - & what a unique, strong voice. She's an icon.
Chrissy passed away Ann..
@@davidmccarthy6390 I know, unfortunately. She still has amazing screen presence in the work we still see of hers.
One of the great live bands in the 80s seen them many times
Thanks for loving our Chrissy! Still missed to this day. Great reaction video. 🇦🇺
I saved up to go to Divinyls last concert so I could see Chrissy one more time in concert. She was so unwell but still AMAZING. ❤
"I'm gonna make this my new workout song." - yes, mate, you and the rest of Australia. lol.
Chrissy and I were born the same day the same year. I knew her and she was just awesome. My heart is still broken.💔💔💔
Mark Opitz best Australian Producer ever. Inxs, The Models. Cold Chisel, The Reels, The Angels the Robert John Mutt Lange of Australian music.
Live they sounded just the same back in 1976..They played gigs at University bars, when I was 18...
She was so unique. Love her.
Another great Aussie rock band they have so many great songs 🎵
Chrissy was a one-of-a-kind rock chick💜 Divinyls is the name of the whole band.
She was known for her catholic school girl outfit. She was a party Harty girl who played with the big boys and unfortunately her little body didn’t cope. She was incredibly misunderstood .
I feel the same when I hear this song!! RIP Chrissy Amphlett - what a woman! Divinyls were a little before my time so didn't see them live but love watching the vids :)
Chrissie, what a gal! RIP Sweetheart.
Love the Bon Scott inspired school uniform Chrissie is wearing
Unfortunately Chrissy died of breast cancer & multiple sclerosis in 2013. The song I Touch Myself was used in a campaign to get women to examine their breasts for lumps. Pleasure & Pain is another excellent Divinyls song
So sad. I hate cancer
I am going to comment on this as an Australian woman who grew up in the 70's and 80's. Chrissy was amazing, even very young i loved her passion, Australia was very rough, she was so tough to survive the industry. Im not so tough, so I admire her, also the lyrics, to me she us so underrated. When I feel week or down I play her music really loud. ESPECIALLY the song "In My Life"
Chrissy.
Went to high school in Belmont in Geelong Victoria Australia.
She used to wear a high school uniform on stage.
She was a great performer and singer on stage.
She had multiple scorisis and breast cancer and was diagnosed before she passed away from the cancer and the multiple scorisis.
Thanks for giving Aussie rock a hear.
You're hearing the best of what alotta the world has missed.
You're already ahead of the curve.
I saw them in concert in club that held 1200. Fantastic concert. She was wild. R.i.p. Chrissie, your lose was a blow to music
RIP Chrissy - an amazing woman ❤️ Her cousin, Patricia Amphlett, was known as Little Pattie - she had a music career in the 60s and 70s in Australia as well, she started on the TV show Bandstand at around the age of 14 - one of her first big hits was a song called 'He's My Blonde-Headed, Stompie-Wompie, Real-Gone Surfer Boy'. A mouthful, but it was a hit! Talented family 🙂
Rip Chrissy. An original rock chick 🤘
I remember seeing this band at the local club on a Friday night back in the day… Good times 👍😎
Chrissy Amphlett was incredible in her day unfortunaley she passed of brest cancer in 2013 A huge loss to Aussie music RIP Chrissy
Absolutely loved Chrissy Saw them live at the Piggery in Byron bay, late 80’s not sure what year
Bloody awesome live .
The best rock chic ever imo
Elsie( U.S version) is highly recommended. Actually any Divinyls song from 1981-1985 is highly recommended. Their later stuff is good but their earlier stuff is so much better in my opinion.
Another classic Aussie pub band .. love it so much
Apparently Chrissie's mic stand was a fluorescent lightbulb! They bloody rocked! 🤘🏾
I loved that you had a moment where you thought one of the band members looked like”the dude from Midnight Oil”. One of those occasions where being wrong just showed off more knowledge.
