I was a U.S. expat living in Australia from 1979-1982 and fell in love with Chisel. Unfortunately very few Americans have ever heard of Cold Chisel, which is a damn shame because I think these guys are a rockin band that deserve classic rock status. In the 80s when shitty disco has made it's way onto the music scene in the US, the Aussies were rockin'. Cold Chisel was an honest, straight-forward band with no hype or pretense. I still rock out to Chisel when I have friends over. Fantastic band!
Same when I went to the UK. My mates hadn't heard of them sadly...until I opened up a few links :)
Yeah brother 🇦🇺✊💪
I was an exchange student to the US in 1987/88 so there are a few seniors from that year who went to Ely Memorial High in Minnesota who know of them.
@@grantharrismusic nice....
Disco was more late 70s and maybe 1980 . I lived through it. Like alot of disco though but im a metal head and country boy. This song is awesome.
These guys were legends then and are still legends. Been back stage twice with the boys in the 70's when they were playing in pubs. Those were the days. Best days to be around. My teens.
Chisel and AC/DC are two of Australia's hardest working bands out there who've paid their dues to get to the top. They deserve the success they've had. :)
I've been an aussie rock fan for 20+ years - but not a Chisel fan before I heard this - from subliminal memory - on U-tube. This song is now one of my anthems.
Cold Chisel will rock on forever. Great Aussie band.
All are so talented in their own . Great combo ❤
saw chisel at the Bondi Livesaver as an underager in the late 70's. Jimmy in a pair of overalls and a bottle of vodka which he swigged from between songs...oven hot and the sweat dripped from the ceiling...everyone there for the band, looking after each other. no aggro, no racism, no bullshit..just great, great music...Thanks nzoz, you post great memories for us old(er) ones..
I saw them there as well,where is this recorded do you know? Cheers. Great days
Long long time ago, when RUclips was younger, I tried looking up this song - couldn't find it - now Chisel are all over RUclips as they should be!
Cool!
i have met his brother john swan when i was playing with my old band :D great memroy
great australian band it's a pity the rest of the world missed out on them....
I didn't get to see Cold Cisel live until I could get into pubs once I turned 18 in 1981. They had good and bad nights but when they were good they were so good as in this video such a tight unit. Listen back on headphones to what Don Walker is doing on the piano in this song. He is an underrated master of his craft. This is a great example of how a band of good individual musicians are greater than the sum of their individual parts when put together. Years of hard slog playing gigs all over the country honing their skills. Steve Prestwitch's finesse in a rock context is also gold. Thanks for the memories and thanks for posting this version on RUclips ❤
rip steve ipswich one of Australias best drummers if you haven,t heard the news he passed away the other day
Paul Richardson wow, seeing this comment 7 years later hits me right in the feels. That was a sad day.
One of the earliest songs I learnt to play
Now
It says it all
I remember going to the pub band performances In Adelaide in his early days .. not as well know but he pumped out some good entertainment, him, AC DC the angels .. all good days ... not for everyone but then u cant be all things...
What a performance ,such great hair he had back then!
Timeless music. Amazing band. 👏
This band kicks major ass, got lucky to find out about them.
Jimmy Barnes has the most amazing voice...naturally brilliant! such a gift~
Chisel was simply the best pub band in the land in those days. The best singer with the best guitarist and best songwriter. They thumbed their nose at the establishment (Molly Meldrum) and made their own path to success.
Although Mossy is still a class act it's sad to see (hear) the decline of Barnesy's voice over the years.
He doesn't sound like the bloke down the road anymore. His voice has an american sound to it.
It's a strange accent because even though he was only 5 years old when he came to Australia he still has his Scottish accent. mixed with some Aussie. He sounds a lot like my brother, who was also around the same age when coming from Scotland to Australia. Americans pronounce some words like the Scottish, like "can't" and "fast" etc.
I agree - all brilliant musicians in their own right. Barnes pushed his voice so hard for so long, it did take a toll however, have seen him sing solo during last 8 years - not the same range, but still the same magic...L
work at a trucking yard - sing this song to myself whenever I'm moving steel
You must be American.
@@opiumtrail7032 nope. why u think that?
@@jfedjrock I work in logistics. I have never heard anyone say "trucking". That term is used by Americans not Australians.
@@opiumtrail7032 We say it all the time, you really think the word trucking is somehow banned in this country? You're trippin
@@jfedjrock ,I didn't say any word was banned. What an uneducated comment. You probably call a ute a pick up or truck and you go to the bathroom (where there is no bath) to have a shit. You're not Tasmanian are you?
Mossy = legend
acdc rocked harder when they were only known localy they were raw now its more comercial. chisel started of raw and finished raw so its probably best that they didnt go international for the fans anyway. better to die young then fade away. they just rocked and every time i put their stuff on i sit and listen to them for hours great aussi band
what a voice...one of a kind
Bow river is another amazing cold chisel song
Like so many I went to many, many, many Chisel gigs in this era. They were always that awesome!!! Jimmy's torn shirt? Was his "Sunday Best" lol I am so lucky to have been around back in the day. Of course I went to Chisel shows later down the track and although the music just kept getting more awesome, nothing beats Sunday Night at the Bondi Lifesaver here in Sydney - affectionately known as The Swap!!!
This my theme song atm....
YEH Mossy was brilliant. I remember many years ago at a pub called The largs Pier in Adelaide and my band was the headliner. Then this unknown named Cold Chisel came on and blew me away.
We talked and they said they had hired a house in outback Oz and lived they for many months just doing their thing.
The rest is history and I still have my day gig???/
Largs Pier also Bon Scott's first stomping ground 🤘🤘
what was your band , our band played at the Largs pier as well..great venue back then
this is the only chisel song I like when I was a kid..
now as an adult I see they reflected Australia well in the 70's
...Flame trees, forever now, breakfast at sweethearts...Don Walker was a good songwriter...as was the late Paul Hewson of Dragon also a keyboard player
Great chorus 👌
the first time I heard this song it was on a hard rock compilation tape,didn't know it was hard rock...but,I still liked it anyhow still do ☺
I have this song on a tape called metal mayhem. It had motley, dokken, priest, acdc , I think y and t. I'll have to dig it out sometime.
There are three guitarist that matter in Australian Rock Music . Harvey James , Simon Binks , and Ian Moss! Raw Australian Rock , the yanks don't get it , no one attacks a guitar like an Australian.
And Steve Edmonds, my son! No one - but NO ONE - manipulates an axe like Steve Edmonds!
ANGUS YOUNG is the ONLY guitarist that matters in Australia. He's the fucking fat to the plate you fucking Roo
Honestly Ian moss and Angus young
@@roostersbays95 booooorrriiing.
🦘🦹
@@gdaym8635 Angus knows who is more depth charged...he bows to IM...
Ago you could see Jim finding it difficult to relax and breath knowing everyone is😢cool as cucumbers ..., Put them on your eyes really good to cool your eyes down x
I wasn't old enough to go to pub bands till about 1983...by then Chisel, ACDC and the ANgels were already out of the pubs and in bigger venues. Having said that, the pub rock scene was still Good...lots of cool bands. Anyway..love chisel and their peers...good solid rock and roll. Nothing like it anywhere.
AUSSIE ROCK N ROLL BOOOOOOOOOY!!!!!!!!
Fuckin rockin' track!!
Why you shouting boy?
Mmm craving for a nice cold beer listening to this
There's truck drivers in British Isles my favourite country to visit then
This is a bloody superb outfit in action here. Great work by Mossy on the axe.
Cool, not many people in our age group like Chisel mostly into that techno shit, but if you like that and Chisel at the same time its all good.
what a mad fucking chisel song best of the 70s
barnsey and the band arnt just pub rockers their the ones that keep us truck drivers alive at night ( you tring living in our world )
just to keep you people happy and feed
Legends of rock
Mossy on lead and Jimmy on vocals legends
im quittin my job & becoming a truckie and jacking the volume on this song way up
I love how he claps his hands in the beginning of the song haha.
One of Chisel's best. Brilliant use of the "Bo Diddley Riff", DW...Lx
Chisels revered R n B...
Wish the studio tracks were like this.
Chisel were a pub rock band and whats wrong with that. They were still great musos and hit the crowd like a hammer. Pub rock in Oz in those days was all we had!!!! I know - I played in rock bands back then and supported bands like Chisel and AC/DC
There was also punk and New Wave in Australia in the late 70's. I'm from Brisbane and we had some fantastic punk and New Wave bands like The Saints, The Leftovers, Razar, The Mystery Of Sixes, The Screaming Tribesmen and The Go-Betweens.
dude we are in agreement
I think they are freaking awesome musos
i was having a go at someone calling it cheap pub rock
they clearly never tried playing a moss guitar line
Get on the OP Rum
Fire up the CLEVO
Chisel in the tape deck.
✌🏆🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🏆✌

Ah yes, when they were a GREAT hard rock band, before the 'mainstream' era!
best band ever
brad lesslie --NO!!
this started it all.then star
+dazbot11 star hotel
awesome song, this rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
Great band!!!
the sound of australia....this rox
Great track - written at the old Bimbos roadhouse in Bargo apparently.
Hammer down the open road
Steel pigs my only load
Country songs are always playin'
He's a goin', she's a staying
Briquets keep the fires burning
Diesel keeps the wheels turning
Hikers on the edge of town
Start off young and end up learning
Shipping steel, shipping steel...
Nobody knows, the way it feels
Caught between Heaven and the Highway
Shipping steel, shipping steel...
Some men need a family
Need the club fraternity
God's salvation guaranteed
Mac's the only friend I need
I'm shipping steel, shipping steel
Shipping steel, shipping steel
Nobody knows, the way it feels
Caught between Heaven and the Highway
shipping steel, shipping steel
Shipping steel, shipping steel
Nobody knows, the way it feels
Caught between Heaven and the Highway
shipping steel, shipping steel
Shipping steel, shipping steel
I'm shipping steel, shipping steel
Jimmy changed 2 lineds in this version, he replaced "Hikers on the edge of town" and "God's salvation guaranteed", ad-libs instead.
great song
True OZ Legend. Haven't heard this song in years.Thanks for sharing.
Listen how strong Jimmys voice is!!!Fuck they are kick ass man!!!
my fav CC song !
yyeeeeeahhh buddy! Barrrrrnnnsseeeyy
yyeeeeeahhh buddy! Barrrrrnnnsseeeyy
@nzoz1979 your right, I'm only judging from this one song, but they do sound awesome. Thanks, I will check out the others as well.
COLD CHISEL HAS REUNITED....... 21 July 2011
this clip and song is always amazing, and how different it is to the pub agro now, the punters were fighting for the pub not each other or some random victim, what can you say...random victims fillup intensive care units now for no good reason except they got in the wrong place at the wrong time, (need icu etc)
i found this song on jetstar classic rock lol
WHAT A VOICE
while i dont think they sound anything like ACDC
they are both bands a product of the same time and exact same environment.
They were playing the same gigs in the same town at the same time.
I think Chisel are far more melodic and well, musical, than ACDC. And lets face it, their lyrics are on another plane of existence.
Oh me yes tomorrow. ❤️
this song go's off loader the better it go's off
This is a classic. Cold Chisel in their prime, they kill it with shipping steel. If they had "made-it" in America,
when they went over there, Pre-You-got-nothing-I-want, they would have for sure avoided the RUST-BELT
SCENARIO. Chisel singing Shipping Steel, Trucking Anthems, Khe Sanh, Star Hotel, Standing on the Outside,
Cheap Wine, Merry-Go-Round, Goodbye, Four Walls, My Baby, Choir Girl & Rising Sun - all Rust Belt lubricant.
Truck drivers song..chisel fucking rules man!!
@aussiebloke62 Gee Bloke, ya really bringing back the great times there dude... Also saw them round the beginning of the 80's as an underager! Being a shire dude, we had to travel to see em :( but east sydney and just out of the city rocked, every week!
You are totally right mate, everyone went out then for the music, the fun and as you put it - NO BULLSHIT!
good work.
NZOZ, thanks for another classic. good work.
Bo Diddley must have consulted his lawyers when he heard this
As well as for the song "Disco Stomp" by Hamilton Bohannon, and "Psychotech" by Westworld. ;-)
it sounds like a soundboard recording ot me, which explains the silent audience :P they're not actually silent. hard to imagine they would be.
How tight were this band?
This singer is talented like Shannon Noll
Did he change some of the lyrics here? Sounded like he did.
they have that "ACDC" sound.
cj382 no they don’t, not at all
Half that voice is Ian Moss even on this live performance.
@truespyfan Thanks truespyfan! Probably rubbed shoulders with you at the Sylvania Hotel or maybe at The Civic? Saw tons of bands during those days, and now feel pretty priviliged when I look at the fairly dire state of the music scene now...No wonder the kids are bored!!! Lived in Canberra as a young bloke, but had relos in Cronulla, so whatever we missed at the Uni Bar we would try and catch in Sydney.
Some people in Australia have misheard the lyric in the chorus as "Shitting Steel"
jazz time
Awesome song but what does he mean by "shipping steel"
Does anyone have "One Long Day" ? If you have it please put it on RUclips !!!
I named my son Jimmy after Jimmy Barnes
james.
wow Leo creative
Lol
Well I was 14 and my Mum did not know I was there so I was keeping quiet....
barnseyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy barnseyyyyyyyyyy barnseyyyyyyyyyyy barnseyyyyyyyyyy
Awesome truck driving song for British Isles truck drivers to listern too up much loud
til you actually try to PLAY that cheap pub rock..
then ya think maybe Ian Moss is a superb guitarist after all.
CC was absolutely big band stuff...
Clubbin' seals, clubbin seals.....
This is presumably a the Who song SO well known -that you can't remember it's title...
Now he needs aroma therapy meditation he has been burning the candles at both ends lately ..... Eventually U burn out I should know ... Seen it 2 many times .... Look my uncle Gordon real estate agent in Canada passed away from stress gambling to much if you believe everything you do hear of my mum
whats the NZ link here ? Hopefully none !
@nzoz1979 Soooooo True I met "Swanee" he's awesome ..very nice guy....
Better to be shippin' steel, than shittin' steel, I say.
This may not have been a mistake though... see it just as an... alternative version?
Back when Pig Iron and truckers built this country!
@demonman444 so true...
My sister was at this = lucky duck
Give em the bird
