Barnsey, Farnsey and a splash of Diesel on guitar. Three Aussie legends! Be as fucking excited as you want!!! Why wouldn't you?? They were great. Hard to compare modern singers to old skool, since auto tune is so prevalent these days. Its a shame as you don't get the same goosebumps anymore. Oh should do this one live....sooo much better!
Cheers buddy … yes I’ll definitely maintain my excitement for future reactions and I’m going to check out the live version for sure ✌️ Yeah I agree … there’s a lot of production in live settings now with big artists so it’s difficult to connect sometimes like we did in the old days - it’s probably a generational thing.. there’s still some fantastic singers around but I suppose it’s just a different era .. I prefer the old skool ☺️☺️
Jimmy let Farnham shine on this track. Jimmy is one of the best rock singers of all time. John Farnham was unmatched in his prime. Havent heard a better voice.
Great reaction mate. These are Australia's best 2 singer's and they are great mates. Could you please check out Jimmy Barnes singing Stone Cold featuring Joe Bonamassa.
These two are great friends, they apparently drank the entire bottle of whiskey in this session. I have seen both these Aussie legends live many times over the years, even in small pub settings - truly remarkable especially our adored John.
I heard John was so blind, he couldn't find his car (thank goodness. Imagine what might have happened if he went to drive? I shudder to think). I think, as the story goes, that he couldn't tell the taxi driver where he lived either. How pissed must he have been?😂 Must have been fun on the set.
John Farnham is a total vocal legend, as is Jimmy, but for different reasons. Their voices complement each other so well. Diesel, who plays guitar and contributes to the chorus, is also an amazing singer, songwriter and musician in his own right 😊 There are a couple of live versions of this track that features all three & is even better than the recorded version.
One suggestion is the AC/DC song It’s a Long Way to the Top… john does a fantastic cover in the same concert with the MSO. He also sings this song with Tom Jones when they toured together in Australia .
Jimmy Barnes was a member of the rock group Cold Chisel, then went on to a solo career. Like John Farnham, Jimmy has the ability to sing most genres; but two of his most successful solo albums have been in the genres of blues and soul. This song is from Jimmy's Soul Deep album, and performed at many of his concerts.
The guitarist is Johnny Diesel, brother-in-law of Jimmy Barnes; he is another great Australian artist, and member of the group Diesel and The Injectors.
Jimmy is arguably the best white soul singer that ever lived 😂 Vocal coaches and musicians on RUclips have been blown away by his vocal capacity. I thoroughly recommend you listen to his cover of A Change is Gonna Come- but if possible wait 24 hours as I am just finishing up a surround sound remaster and will upload it tomorrow. The version on RUclips right now is crappy. Much love to you my friend ❤ 🐨
Sugar Kappy, had no idea u were in here. I just posted a silly comment, I’m overtired lol. Andrew will think I’m a total idiot 🥴 I’m running Kap lol 🏃♀️
@@kazz3956 I’ve got the audio all polished ready to go it sounds amazing. But the only footage I can find anywhere is the 420p version on RUclips!! And that’s so tiny I can’t even really upscale it so I’m not sure what to do with the video. The sound is ready to go!
Great reaction Jimmy barnes is a GOD in Australia He was lead singer in band called cold chisel who many think are best band to come out of Australia even ahead of AC/DC and INXS .. Some of there songs are Bow river When the war is over Wild thing (cover) Choir girl Forever now Cheap wine Khe sahn Saturday night Flame trees You’ve got nothing I want (written as a f*ck you to the US music executives) Plus heaps more songs Jimmy solo career also is epic he has heaps of songs like Working class man When a man loves a woman (cover) Knocking on heavens door (sung at a memorial) Change gonna come Plus duets with Tina (simply the best) and INXS (good times) and many more Jimmys kids are all musical his daughter Mahalia barnes is great singer plus Jimmy had son at 16 who thought Jimmy was family friend and that his mum was his sister until he was 10.. his name is David Campbell and he is also a singer and is a morning TV host in Australia he has also sung You will never walk alone with his dad (cover). Heaps of US of people have reacted to Jimmy barnes and cold chisel on YT and all have been blown away by Jimmys voice and all have said how did cold chisel not make it big in the US.. it was due to thevUS music executives who wanted to change them and they said no thanks and come home)
ohhhh, now you have to see it live- 1991- When Something is wrong with my Baby, - with Jimmy Barnes and Diesel (ARIAs or Hey Hey - don’t worry about the pink ostrich - that’s just Ossie) also -Jimmy, John and Diesel ‘In the Midnight Hour’ live at ARIAs same year -Diesel singing lead - with help from Jimmy and John, thankyou, great reaction, Jimmy (Cold Chisel ) often played at a Pub/nightclub of my choice back in the mid 70's, great band.
A terrific review Nicholas Andrew. Did you know both John and Jimmy were born in the UK. John, Dagenham England, Jimmy, Glasgow Scotland. Both came here to Aus as young children so you can’t have them back, we love ‘em both too much 🥰. (Don’t tell anyone that told you, ok, shhh🤫 lol)
Thank you 🙏 I did know actually I quickly Googled Jimmy after I reacted 😂 … haha yes I think they belong to you guys now well and truly but with the power of the internet I can have a little dabble every now and then ❤
The reason they sound so good is they want to sing together. No EGOs Both Jimmy and John have phenomel strong voices. This is a Habit Hole and good luck to you !
New sub. I think you and I were as excited as each other. 😂 I grew up singing along to John's music, and ended up being a singer for a while. My favourite song of his is "Burn for you". I've seen Jimmy live a few times here in nz and he was amazing. Diesel is a supertalent, too. ❤
Love your reaction and yes, Jimmy and John are good friends. John has recently announced he is now Cancer Free (diagnosed with mouth cancer and had 11+ hr surgery to remove the tumor and part of his jaw, The jaw was reconstructed with some rib bone, thankfully the voice cords were not affected. He is still recuperating but is now singing around the house). Jimmy has also recently had open heart surgery and I caught this update just before I saw your reaction, so I wanted to share. ruclips.net/video/HowyccFQ75k/видео.html
Yes these two are great mates. Even though they were both competing for top spots in the charts at the same time, it didn't stop them putting together one of the most amazing duets ..when John was sick last year, Jimmy was right there supporting him....then when Jimmy had heart surgery recently ..John was there to support Jimmy and give him the lift that he needed. John has become very reclusive since his cancer surgery removed part of his jaw. So it was nice to hear that he was supporting Jimmy
Ahh I thought the chemistry looked real 🙏 Crikey they’ve both been through it a bit then haven’t they! I wish them the best - maybe John will come back if he wants one day 🤷♂️ hopefully he’ll be able to 🤞🤞
@@TheSomaticSinger John one of these guys who just loves to perform. So if he wants to he will. But if he doesn't we know he's given us the best years of his life. His sons say thatbhe can still sing.... Jimmy is already planning a tour in May this year. He is pretty tough.
Jimmy Barnes began his career as a screaming rock singer and then explored soul. John Farnham started out as a squeaky clean imaged, pop star who initially found the image hard to shake. As he matured, he challenged himself with other genres. This song illustrates where he challenged himself with Jimmy’s style and Jimmy was generous to allow John a lot of space in what was essentially recognised as his song. Having a great deal of respect for each other, this pair consider themselves lifelong friends. They are both masters of their craft. As already suggested, try Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa doing “Stone Cold” and Jimmy Barnes and Tina Turner doing “Simply the Best” for starters. Jimmy Barnes has a very large catalogue for you to explore both in Cold Chisel and as a solo artist. Thank you for the lovely reaction. I’m subscribing. 🙂
I have been culling music reactors ‘till now, - but I haven’t seen one of you before. I imagine I’ll be watching stuff I don’t like but won’t care. Thanx.
@@TheSomaticSinger sorry last one ruclips.net/video/mL8HCcY84hQ/видео.htmlsi=rBN5IB15ISsaZmGB I think these will just help you understand why we love him so much. ❤️
My work done and now I’ve viewed your complete chat. Love where you’re at. Hopefully Old School will become New School in the future what with all the RUclips reactions. Do you love duets? Who doesn’t? Good voices come from good ears and two sets make a duet. Farnham is loved for his duet with Olivia Newton John, Please Don’t Ask Me but I expect there were many others. Jimmy has sung with loads of people - famous for doing Simply The Best with Tina Turner when he was younger which was great but I really like a thing on RUclips he did a while ago called Live - My First Gig where he invites other Au singers or maybees just Sydneysiders into his lounge room to talk about the song that first got them into music - and then they sing that song. it’s totally striped back beyond “unplugged” and I’m not suggesting you react to it , … unless you want to, but I just thought you’d enjoy it.
You definitely need to react to a live version; l would recommend either their performance from the 1991 ARIA Awards, or from the tv show Hey Hey It's Saturday. This is a cover of the 1966 Sam and Dave song.
Yes . . . but . . . NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO00000000000000ooooooooooooooooooooo ! Meaning, the LIVE version is SOOO much better ! ALWAYS view LIVE concerts with John where he shines ! Please react to both of them singing this song at the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards before the cream of the Aussie music scene. You'll see and hear more and better vocal gymnastics and see wonderful the essence of the men. While John IS 'The Voice' in Oz, Jimmy is the runner-up. Jimmy has admitted this and has sung John's praises in public. To introduce you to another fantastic singer, please react to a funny, different side of John's singing with another fabulous Aussie singer, Anthony Warlow, of musical theatre genre in a duet singing, 'Granada,' at the Main Event Concert. I think that you'll love it !
Your extra spiel was so interesting! Pretty sure jimmy's voice is God given but I think this album was quite a different style of singing for him, he came from a hard rock band before this. I kinda sneakily feel like he was an influence on John pushing his voice to a more powerful rock sound in his 30s.
Here is a cut and paste about John, and his friends Olivia Newton John (ONJ), Jimmy Barnes, Anthony Warlow. You might like to check out the YT reactions in the Australian Playlist for HELP and others on THE THAMESMEN YT channel. Started in 1967 with SADIE THE CLEANING LADY ruclips.net/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/видео.html and went on from there. Close friend of Olivia Newton John who he worked with in Australia from time to time.

I saw it on 14th May at a special screening. You can purchase the CD and DVD via www.sanity.com.au Olivia features in the movie and admits John is her favourite singer of all time. In the biography movie they show him singing YOU’RE THE VOICE in front of 100,000 screaming fans in West Germany just before the Berlin Wall was brought down. He is now 74 years old, and sadly went through a 12 hour operation for throat cancer losing part of his jaw back about the same time his dear friend Olivia died in August 2022.

Both worked in the industry in Melbourne in the 1960's and eventually Olivia ended up back in the UK and then the US. John became the King of Pop with the 1967 hit ‘Sadie the Cleaning Lady.’ He was in the LITTLE RIVER BAND. John had his chances to work in the US but wanted to live in Australia. Queen wanted him to replace Freddie Mercury, but he declined. www.smh.com.au/entertainment/john-farnham-asked-to-join-queen-report-20030804-gdh7j9.html *Jimmy Barnes (Australia’s former King of Rock)* was born April, 28 1956 in Glasgow, Scotland. His original name was 'James Dixon Swan' and his father was a featherweight boxing champion in Glasgow. In 1961/62 his family moved to Australia. After playing in a school band (he replaced Bon Scott (who joined AC/DC) as lead vocalist in the band Fraternity. Then, aged 16 and a half, he joined Cold Chisel in 1973. First they played the pubs of Adelaide, then they played the pubs of Australia and finally they got a record contract in 1976. Now, Cold Chisel are Australian history - one of the best bands Australia ever had. They split up in 1983 because they thought they weren't playing good music anymore and they didn't want to rip their fans off with another album. Here's another jam with Jimmy Barnes and the late Michael Hutchence INXS 'Good Times' Live ruclips.net/video/TimxLOW922o/видео.html
I checked as good as I could but didn’t find a Farnham version of Gethsemane from JCS on your channel. I’ve noticed that the English like to hover over this spectacular and especially about the best JESUS. Maybe you never liked the show or were totally behind another Jesus. I’m not one of the fandom myself but it’s a pretty bloody good performance and the song as well as the entire Opera is available to see on RUclips. Just to let you know.
I haven’t done that reaction … I love JCS it’s one of my favourite musicals - I’ll be 💯 honest … I don’t like the idea of Gethsamane without the the high G5 which I don’t think John does … I’m not sure I haven’t seen it all the way through BUT that said a good vocal is a good vocal and I’ve heard nothing but great things about the performance and I intend to do some musical theatre reactions but featuring all different kinds of singers so he’ll probably squeeze in there and blow me away as per normal!!! … I’m sure he does it justice anyway ❤️
@@TheSomaticSinger Well I wasn’t asking you to react to Farnham and I don’t know about High C’s. But I know that vocal coaches are truly impressed with his upper register and I just wanted you to know about it; I didn’t want you to miss out on that particular performance because I like you.
Excellent reaction! This was Jimmy Barnes mid career. Check out a much younger Jimmy singing Khe Sanh from Cold Chisel's debut album: ruclips.net/video/dTjvG4WJD_A/видео.htmlsi=DMMdpT2bm5XUOpKn (I've suggested the lyric version because the words powerfully reference an Aussie soldier back from the Vietnam War) and then fast forward to an older Jimmy singing Stone Cold feat.

Barnsey, Farnsey and a splash of Diesel on guitar. Three Aussie legends!
Be as fucking excited as you want!!! Why wouldn't you?? They were great.
Hard to compare modern singers to old skool, since auto tune is so prevalent these days. Its a shame as you don't get the same goosebumps anymore. Oh should do this one live....sooo much better!

John Farnham is a total vocal legend, as is Jimmy, but for different reasons. Their voices complement each other so well. Diesel, who plays guitar and contributes to the chorus, is also an amazing singer, songwriter and musician in his own right 😊 There are a couple of live versions of this track that features all three & is even better than the recorded version.
Love your excitement, don’t change!
Australian legends …. More please and always live 😘
Ahh thank you ❤️ yes I’ve been thinking about Australian singers … I’ll have to do some research … any suggestions? ✌️
One suggestion is the AC/DC song It’s a Long Way to the Top… john does a fantastic cover in the same concert with the MSO. He also sings this song with Tom Jones when they toured together in Australia .
Jimmy Barnes was a member of the rock group Cold Chisel, then went on to a solo career. Like John Farnham, Jimmy has the ability to sing most genres; but two of his most successful solo albums have been in the genres of blues and soul. This song is from Jimmy's Soul Deep album, and performed at many of his concerts.
This was supposed to be on johns album as well, his record company CEO said no I don't think it will be a hit.
The guitarist is Johnny Diesel, brother-in-law of Jimmy Barnes; he is another great Australian artist, and member of the group Diesel and The Injectors.
They are legends here in NZ. All 3 of them. farnham, Barnsey and Diesel on guitar
You should have watched it live on a show called, Hey hey its Saturday

I kinda sneakily feel like he was an influence on John pushing his voice to a more powerful rock sound in his 30s.
i'm subbing for this, 2 ozzy legends, cheers, luv from oz
Thank you 🙏 appreciate it 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺🇬🇧
Here is a cut and paste about John, and his friends Olivia Newton John (ONJ), Jimmy Barnes, Anthony Warlow. You
might like to check out the YT reactions in the Australian Playlist for HELP and others on THE THAMESMEN YT
channel.
Started in 1967 with SADIE THE CLEANING LADY ruclips.net/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/видео.html
and went on from there. Close friend of Olivia Newton John who he worked with in Australia from time to time. When she died,
he cried all day.
This is a great one from the concert with the *Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (M.S.O.)*: IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU

like this concert, you can purchase it still on DVD or CD. It is the CLASSIC JACK LIVE concert. It may be available in your country
but in Australia it is on www.sanity.com.au, ebay.com.au, or Amazon.com.au.
*FINDING THE VOICE trailer*: ruclips.net/video/LocCfc5PKrE/видео.html
His biography is a movie about to appear in the Australian cinemas. I saw it on 14th May at a special screening. You can purchase
the CD and DVD via www.sanity.com.au Olivia features in the movie and admits John is her favourite singer of all time. In the
biography movie they show him singing YOU’RE THE VOICE in front of 100,000 screaming fans in West Germany just before the
Berlin Wall was brought down. He is now 74 years old, and sadly went through a 12 hour operation for throat cancer losing part
of his jaw back about the same time his dear friend Olivia died in August 2022. He lost Liv and his best mate, his manager Glen
Wheatley to ‘COVID’ (LOL, if only they knew) within that time frame of a few months. Glen was 74 too. He used to be a guitarist
in Master’s Apprentices.

*A bit on John (Australia’s former King of Pop)* - Born in the UK in 1949, came out when 10 to Melbourne Victoria, Australia.
It’s the same sort of history as Olivia Newton John, who was born in the UK in 1948 and came out when 5 to Melbourne. Both
worked in the industry in Melbourne in the 1960's and eventually Olivia ended up back in the UK and then the US. John became
the King of Pop with the 1967 hit ‘Sadie the Cleaning Lady.’ He was in the LITTLE RIVER BAND. John had his chances to work in
the US but wanted to live in Australia. Queen wanted him to replace Freddie Mercury, but he declined.

*Jimmy Barnes (Australia’s former King of Rock)* was born April, 28 1956 in Glasgow, Scotland. His original name was 'James
Dixon Swan' and his father was a featherweight boxing champion in Glasgow. In 1961/62 his family moved to Australia. After
playing in a school band (he replaced Bon Scott (who joined AC/DC) as lead vocalist in the band Fraternity. Then, aged 16 and a
half, he joined Cold Chisel in 1973. First they played the pubs of Adelaide, then they played the pubs of Australia and finally they
got a record contract in 1976. Now, Cold Chisel are Australian history - one of the best bands Australia ever had. They split up in
1983 because they thought they weren't playing good music anymore and they didn't want to rip their fans off with another
album.
Here's another jam with Jimmy Barnes and the late Michael Hutchence INXS 'Good Times' Live

I checked as good as I could but didn’t find a Farnham version of Gethsemane from JCS on your channel. I’ve noticed that the English like to hover over this spectacular and especially about the best JESUS. Maybe you never liked the show or were totally behind another Jesus. I’m not one of the fandom myself but it’s a pretty bloody good performance and the song as well as the entire Opera is available to see on RUclips. Just to let you know.
I haven’t done that reaction … I love JCS it’s one of my favourite musicals - I’ll be 💯 honest … I don’t like the idea of Gethsamane without the the high G5 which I don’t think John does … I’m not sure I haven’t seen it all the way through BUT that said a good vocal is a good vocal and I’ve heard nothing but great things about the performance and I intend to do some musical theatre reactions but featuring all different kinds of singers so he’ll probably squeeze in there and blow me away as per normal!!! … I’m sure he does it justice anyway ❤️
@@TheSomaticSinger Well I wasn’t asking you to react to Farnham and I don’t know about High C’s. But I know that vocal coaches are truly impressed with his upper register and I just wanted you to know about it; I didn’t want you to miss out on that particular performance because I like you.
Your joy was delightful

Excellent reaction! This was Jimmy Barnes mid career. Check out a much younger Jimmy singing Khe Sanh from Cold Chisel's debut album: ruclips.net/video/dTjvG4WJD_A/видео.htmlsi=DMMdpT2bm5XUOpKn (I've suggested the lyric version because the words powerfully reference an Aussie soldier back from the Vietnam War) and then fast forward to an older Jimmy singing Stone Cold feat. Joe Bonamassa on guitar: ruclips.net/video/IyXFHr5jylI/видео.htmlsi=0EUh-UzzwGwjGSiT
2 more Cold Chisel must watches: Bow River 2003 Ringside ruclips.net/video/TdVRNDnTKTU/видео.htmlsi=ajKvlliPHhJR5UOG the whole band are great but guitarist Ian Moss gets a chance to sing as well and Jimmy doing the wildest version of Wild Thing ever ruclips.net/video/oQ19NWzA8TA/видео.htmlsi=9QtleZ0wwk4vYnrh
Thanks buddy thanks for the suggestions too ✌️
They are also good friends. The guitarist is Jimmy's brother in law Diesel he can sing as well
You should see more Jimmy, with Cold Chisel and check out Kasey Chambers singing Lose yourself.
Do yourself a favour and check out one of the live performances of this. This in comparison to the live one's is average.
Yessss!
Agree the Hey Hey it’s Saturday version is the best one I think
