👍Thank you so much for reacting to my request. You made my year. I have had the privilege of seeing John Farnham perform live many times as well as Jimmy Barnes and his band, Cold Chisel. I would love for you to react to Jimmy Barnes - Stone Cold feat. Joe Bonamassa on guitar and John Farnham - Help (LIVE with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) - this is a cover of the Beatles' song. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 💖💖💖
These guys are Aussie icons, together and in their own right. It makes me proud to be an Australian when people react to their exceptional talent. Love them all.
John Farnham (blonde guy) - singing in Australia since 1967!! He is the most amazing live performer. Jimmy Barnes( in tuxedo) front man for an Australian rock band "Cold Chisel". He also has had a very successful solo career, since the 1970's. Both are adored by Australia. We've loved and emjoyed their music for over 40 years. Diesel is a reknown Australian guitarist. You need to check out John Farnham singing "Help" live with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Then you need to listen to "You're The Voice" by John Farnham. We are so proud of these guys here in Australia
This version has fewer views because there are several more popular versions of the duo/trio. Diesel is married to the sister of Jimmy's wife, and a very talented singer in his own right. Jimmy was in the band Cold Chisel from 1973 (age 16) to 1984 when he started his solo career, which continues today, with him topping 10,000 performances. John was a teen pop idol (King of Pop 1969, 70, 71, 72, 73) from 1967 (age 18) to 1979, briefly lead singer of The Little River Band (1982 to 1985), but is much better known as a solo singer with incredible backing musicians and singers who have mainly been with him for decades. John has had a number-one record in five consecutive decades (60s to 00s). He was selected as Australian of the Year in 1987. John is much loved by Aussies as much for being a down-to-earth and generous guy as for his amazing talent. Jimmy still performs today, John is currently rehabilitating from removal of a mouth tumour. Both have kept their range and power across the decades.
They are AUSTRALIAN performers and have been around for DECADES. John Farnham is my favourite. He is a singing genius with a big vocal range and can sing in over 20 genres. John is a consummate showman, is sooo charismatic and has amazing rapport with his audience when in concert. He has won many music awards, the 'Australian of the Year' award by the Federal Government, had long running top singles and albums, had books written about him and recently and a documentary film named, 'Finding The Voice' has been recently released. He is known as 'The Voice' from his hit song, 'You're The Voice', which is known around the world. Midway in his career, John decided that preferred to stay home in Oz to be close to family and friends, rather than to pursue fame in other countries. There are a lot of his videos on You Tube. ALWAYS choose LIVE concert clips as this is where John shines. His concerts with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are wonderful. Melbourne is where he had his singing fame start, in the state of Victoria, where he and his family live.
@@davidhandson2429 On 'The Vocal Range' of both Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham, by Platypus Johnson, Jimmy Barnes ranges from F2 to B5 and John Farnham ranges from A2 to F#5.
You have just opened a huge rabbit hole with these guys!! If you react to our John and Jimmy the Australians will come to your channel in huge numbers trust me!! These guys are our greatest national treasure and we adore them both as singers and as people! Enjoy the journey 🙏
Jimmy is the slick back hair. John’s the blonde. Both brilliant. Both have rocked us out for decades. They didn’t do many songs together they’re both independent artists, Jimmy is also lead singer of Cold Chisel.
John Farnham’s cover of the Beatles song Help is a must see from the classic Jack concert. Whenever you do a John Farnham reaction. Live performances are best because he sounds so much better live if that’s possible, actually it is! I’ve been to his concerts numerous and he never disappoints! Great reaction
Two of Australia’s greatest vocalists! John is known as “The Voice” in Australia. Only check their live versions as they are the best, in particular John’s live versions with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra ❤
Oooo I’m soooo hyped for you to go on the John Farnham deep dive. You simply MUST. Live over any recording for him! Help with the Melbourne symphony orchestra! Beatles cover! It was his encore after a two or three hour concert. He is royalty down here, and he’s recovering arm from cancer of the throat. Ironic since he’s known as The Voice. ‘You’re the voice’ is also incredible And you’d probably know it And also!!! His black dog led zep cover which was used as a warmup/sound check. Insane. He’s just not human ❤❤
Discovering these two (three with Diesel) is like finding a great new series to watch on Netflix that you slept on, but every season is there for you to binge on. You’ve just stumbled upon 2 of the greatest voices on the planet. There’s hundreds of hours of amazing performances from them for you to watch. You will never be bored ever again. Enjoy.
Barnsey and Farnsy are two separate giant rabbit holes to go down! Pretty much anything John Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is awesome to react to first. You’re the Voice (our unofficial national anthem), Help ( the Beatles cover that John made his own in the 80’s and this is the way John Lennon intended the song to be sung originally), It’s a Long Way to the Top (AC/DC cover) and my favourite Playing to Win. Enjoy!!
👍👍👍 Lookout! You’re about to be overrun by us Aussies. 😃 Loved your reaction and loved that you’re not afraid of a swear word or two. You’re practically Australian already. 😍
Welcome to the Australian music scene. Jimmy, John & Diesel all have their own rabbit holes you can go down, full of exciting music. Thanks for the reaction. One piece of advise, most Australian artists will produce their best work in front of live audiences, so always take a live performance over a studio one.
John Farnham is the blonde bloke who has a massive solo career in Australia. Jimmy Barnes is the lead singer for a great band called cold Chisel. Diesel is a singer and great guitarist in his own right too. All these guys are well loved by all Australians.
Awesome reaction Glad you liked our boys John and Jimmy. These guys are Australian Rock Royalty and have been around for decades. Both Solo artists who have collaborated only a couple of times....but the are also great mates. Jimmy is also lead singer for asutralian rock band Cold Chisel. And John was lead singer for LRB from 82 to 86 Both have had hugely successful careers in Australia. John had a lot of success in eaurope in the later 80's as well as touring the US with LRB in the early 80's. More stuff to listen to. JOHN LRB days Reminiscing and SOLO his most famous song You're the Voice, live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra JIMMY with Cold Chisel Wild Thing live from the Last Stand. And solo Stone Cold...the version with Joe Bonassa on Guitar. The guitar player Deisel has also had a long successful career both solo and with his band the Injectors
These guys are the best singers you've never heard of. John was a teen idol back to the 60's. Jimmy's been around since the 70's. Australian rock ROYALTY.
Jimmy Barnes is the guy with gravelly toned vocals , John Farnham is the guy with the blonde mullet with the range. . Guitarist Diesel is own artist in his own right , but occasionally performs with Jimmy they are brother in laws . This clip would’ve been back in 1991 at one Jimmy Barnes concerts Jimmy released an album called Soul Deep a covers album paying tribute to favourite soul singers . John Farnham was a guest on the single When Something Is Wrong With My Baby , which peaked at 3 on the Australian Aria charts in 1991 . Soul Deep is Jimmy’s most successful album . John Farnham’s career goes right back to the 60’s when he’s started out highly commercialised teen pop idol then known as Johnny Farnham . In the early 80’s dropped the Johnny for John for a more mature contemporary style and from 1982 to early 1986 John was the Little River Band’s lead singer . LRB was an Australian supergroup . In late 1986 solo career got back on track with the hit single You’re The Voice that features on the album Whispering Jack which was the first album domestically in Australia to sell over 1 million copies. 5 John Farnham songs is must listen You’re The Voice 1986 Age Of Reason 1988 Playing To Win 1984 ( originally John’s signature LRB song ) Help 1980 ( John’s rearrangement of the Beatles classic , that Tina Turner covered John’s version in 1984 ) Burn For You 1990 . While Jimmy’s career started in the 70’s frontman of hugely successful in Australia pub rock band Cold Chisel , Jimmy went solo in 1984 . 5 Jimmy Barnes songs must listen Working Class Man 1985 Stone Cold original 1993 ( but go with Joe Bonamassa version ) Khe Sanh 1978 ( Cold Chisel ) Wild Thing , live 1983 ( Cold Chisel ) Good Times 1987 ( with INXS cover of The Easybeats ) Diesels career started in the late 80’s with his band Johnny Diesel & The Injectors when in the 90’s he went solo 2 songs are must listen Cry In Shame 1989 Tip Of My Tongue 1991
Only Aussie rock royalty, Farnsey and Barnsey 😂 John Farnham - always always live. His stage presence is magnetic. Anything with him and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) - You're the Voice, Help (Beatles cover) and It's a Long Way to the Top (AC/DC cover) are the best places to start and then the journey can really get under way. Thank you for this reaction 🎉🎉
Welcome to 3 of our Aussie legends! Yes, they certainly Can Sing -Awesomely -Always! Glad you've finally discovered them. Now try : 'When the War is over' (live) Like many Australians, I have loved John Farnham for 50 + years. He is arguably the Greatest Singer Of All Time /in all Countries. John Farnham has had 6 decades worth of Hit songs here in Australia, and he also topped the charts in Europe in the late 80's/early 90's...so you may have a bit of catching up to do now? (Apparently US rejected him because he didn't fit into a particular music genre). Why?...because he is so clever, he sings any and all music genres. He has the most incredible voice and vocal range. He is also a phenomenal performer, comedian and live entertainer. Always try to watch his live performances if you can.
John is the blonde-haired guy, Jimmy is the one with the slicked back hair. Jimmy is lead singer of the band Cold Chisel, John is predominantly a solo artist, although he did a stint with the Little River Band in the early 80s. John is probably the most beloved musical artist in Australia, and you'll get plenty of views if you keep reacting to his stuff. Ignoring the views though, once you start you won't be able to stop, as he's an amazing vocalist and brilliant performer in general. Here are a few to get you started from both of them, pretty much guarantee you'll love all of these: Help - John Farnham (1989) demonstrating his amazing vocals with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - ruclips.net/video/dv54giOSRKs/видео.html You're the Voice - John Farnham, same concert as before. John was a teen idol in the late 60s, but went through a time in the late 70s/early 80s where the music industry in Australia was not interested in him and he was basically ignored. This is his comeback song off his comeback album in 1986. This song is an absolute anthem in Australia, and you won't meet an Australian anywhere of any age who doesn't know it - ruclips.net/video/6m2m_9Uijso/видео.html Bow River - Cold Chisel (from 2003)- ruclips.net/video/TdVRNDnTKTU/видео.html Wild Thing - Cold Chisel in their younger and wilder days - ruclips.net/video/7Bgr_WVSL84/видео.html
Two magnificent legends along with Diesel who was playing the guitar 🎸. If you would like to check out Jimmy Barnes singing Simply the Best with Tina Turner, and I’m sure many recommendations will follow from other Jimmy fans. There is also a collaboration tour with John Farnham and Tom Jones in Australia that worth a look as well as 5 decades of pure talent. The only way to enjoy these guys is to view them in live. Enjoy the journey 👍
Both Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham are some of the best of the best artists on the planet, but throw in Diesel who is also an artist and Jimmy’s brother in law and you have some real soul music. Jimmy is number one in my books anytime, anywhere. He was the lead singer of Cold Chisel and solo artist from 1983 onwards. PS Cold Chisel are from the 70’s and their working class songs resonate with us Aussies. They never broke through in the USA but are definitely worth some time. Can’t give you my all time favourite song cause I love them all. Others have commented already about some of their songs, which would be Bow (bow as in Bow Tie) River. Actually the lead is Ian Moss on this particular song, but Jimmy aka Barnsey adds to the tune with his beautiful falsetto. Live of course ….and I would suggest the version from their concert at Ringside in 2003 (although the band ceased in 1983 they have toured together since).Also, their song, When the war is over from the same performance is 🔥. Then there is the cover of the Troggs’ Wild Thing to see Jimmy really rocking it out. Add to that Choir Girl, Breakfast at Sweethearts, Saturday Night, Forever Now, Cheap Wine, and Four Walls just to name a few. Jimmy’s solo career is now nearing 40 years as well with songs like Driving Wheels, Working Class Man, Too much ant enough love, Stone Cold, and many many more. In fact he has had a lot of number 1 records in this country, so many I forget. Throw in his collaborations with so many artists and you could be rocking out for years to come. Diesel aka Mark Lizotte was the lead singer for Johnny Diesel and the injectors, but married Jimmy’s wife’s sister so they are brother in laws. He can really sing and play that guitar. He features in the song Simply the best, when Jimmy sang that with the late Tina Turner RIP. I love their released hit together, Still got a long way ❤❤❤❤ and Since I fell for you. John is Farnham or Farnsey, is also worth your time. He is currently recovering from mouth cancer and I understand had to have some of his jaw removed. He is a tad older than Jimmy, and has had hits from the 60’s and enjoyed a period as lead singer for the Aussie band LRB, or Little River Band, taking over from Glenn Shorrock. Enjoy, and if your keen to go down that road, hold on to your hat!!!!
Welcome to our Aussie icons! You'll be going down the rabbit hole now. Jimmy Barnes as a solo artist and wit the band Cold Chisel. Diesel as a solo artist who was also in Johhny Diesel and the Injectors, and The Voice: John Farnham.
Jimmy is the brunette with slicked back hair, he was both the back up and lead singer of a group called Cold Chisel with roots with Rock 'n Roll and Blues. John the blonde is primarily a solo artist in Pop and Ballads with his own Band called the John Farnham Band made up of some of the best talent found in Australia and out. Diesel had his own band, Diesel and the Injectors, is also a Solo Artist that specializes in Blues and Soul. All of them have dabbled with multiple genre's, John especially has delved into every genre that you can think of and mastered it, you only have to go and look it up to verify the truth of that statement. They all have ties with other great legendary Australian Artists and have done countless Sessional Works and Compilations with Artists local and abroad. Pick any of the three and you will not be bored or disappointed with the sheer astonishning amount of content showcasing their astonishing raw talent and abilities. These rabbit holes will undoubtedly lead you to other greats. There is one thing though that they all have in common, *ALWAYS watch them LIVE!* Album recordings and official video clips are okay, but LIVE is honestly better and the only way to go with these three.
You need to listen to more of John Farnham.His mist well known song is Your The Voice.Listen to the Melbourne performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
React to John Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra ( songs to look for "Help , You're the voice, Playing to win , It's a long way to the top) John farnham singing " Burn for you" and "When the war is over" live version
The guitar 🎸 player is Jimmy's brother inlaw and. He is a legend in his own right. Jimmy Barnes was known as the bad boy of rock when he started with Cold Chisel at 18. John was a teen idol in his early career. The song is a Dave and Sam cover. All of John Farnham's, Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel reactions must be live as their performances are a show in themselves. Jimmy 66 years old has just released an album. 5 of Jimmy's kids can sing. Check out Stone Cold with Joe Bonamassa. Check out John's songs Help, Burn For You, It’s a Long Way To The Top, The Voice and Black Dog (audio only) John used as a mic check/ warm up song.
And don't forget John Farnham who is 73 also just had a new album released a couple of weeks ago with songs from the Bio Pic movie on his life. The Album entered the charts at number 2 and the movie has broken all cinematic records for a doco in Australia. Both John and Jimmy have huge followings of loyal fans❤😊
I've seen all 3 in concert, their all separate Artists. Farnham started in the 60's, Jimmy the 70's & Diesel the 80's. Jimmy & Diesel are Brother inlaws, but all 3 are friends. Barnsy & Farnsy (as they are called) like to have screaming competition during the songs, you will pick them up during different performances.
Hi from Australia. Please check out John doing Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He is our national treasure and his talent will blow your mind once you start discovering the 20- odd styles he performs in.
As a New Zealander, Mr Jimmy Barnes, Mr John Farnham and Mr Diesel are very well know and played music at our parties, welcome to the ride, this is going to be one of the best musical train ride ever.
Great reaction! Yep, that's our Barnsey (dark hair), Farnsey (blonde hair) and Diesel. All very brilliant and much loved Aussie icons. They are all individual highly acclaimed musicians who occasionally sang together.
Aussie music royalty...others will tell you all about them. One woman shares a huge cut and paste. Wait for it lol! I'm just gonna sub...cos I reckon you'll do a few more from these guys.
Enjoyed the reaction mate. I won't bother repeating what other's have already said I will just ask for you to react to one one of Jimmy Barnes new song's. This song Soothe me with Sam Moore was released just after Jimmy turned 66 and his voice is still incredible and Sam Moore from the group Sam And Dave is 86 years old and is amazing.
They are from Australia and are all solo artists in their own right and came together for this cover. Jimmy on the left, John on the right and Diesel the guitarist. Diesel is also married to Jimmys sister 😊
Have just subscribed to you bro, you are one of the coolest reactors I have watched👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣, do yourself and us Aussies a favour and get onto the jimmy barnes solo songs and also his band ‘cold chisel’ on your channel. You will be taken for the ride of your life!!! (Trust us). To see a reactor standing (instead of sitting) and your facial expressions hearing jimmy was reminiscent of myself when I first heard him back in 1976. I look forward to joining you on your journey if you do a lot more jimmy/ cold chisel 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Notice John Farnham is holding the mike closer to Diesel at the end as he knows there’s no problem picking up his voice, even from a distance. Legends all 3
John covering Help by the Beatles with the Melbourne symphony orchestra and Jimmy singing with Ian Moss and Cold Chisel doing Bow River or Jimmy with Joe Bonamassa Stone Cold or Jimmy’s daughter Mahalia with Joe Bonamassa Riding with the Kings then anything by Cold Chisel, the band that Jimmy fronted or Jimmy with Sam Moore ( Sam and Dave) Soothe Me or Jimmy and Joe Bonamassa covering Lazy. All EPIC
Just a few of our Aussie boys we’ve been listening to for decades. We have a few other lol - ooodles of Talent the world is finally discovering via RUclips 😊
If you react to John Farnham or Jimmy Barnes and his former band cold chisel you will have heaps of Aussie subs😂. We love it when people react to Aussie legends 😊 cold chisel 2003 ring side live " Bow River" do yourself a favour!!!!
Recommend you react to John Farnham “Help” live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Anything from the “Classic Jack” concert by John or anything live. He’s an Australian national treasure.
John Farnham is the blonde guy with the higher voice. He is known as the voice and I think the greatest vocalist of all time with such agility and range. Jimmy is the other guy and diesel part of jimmys band. Jimmy was from cold chisel (80’s ) band but solo now. John mainly been solo artist apart from his stint in “the little river band”. Diesel also went solo artist all are very talented in their own right but John and Jimmy were huge over here in Australia. We’ve had the pleasure of John’s phenomenal voice for over 50 years and Jimmy for over 40 years. Plenty of stuff out there for you to explore on both of them, especially John.
Why do you get surprised by our music Aussie Rock and our talented music history. We have live with this type of music all our lives for over 50 or more years. ❤
Australias music royalty. ❤❤ John Farnham can song absolutely genre. Jimmy is our rock and soul icon with John and Deisel is a singer in his own right and plays the guitar so well. Xxx
What I left below is a cut and paste of a lot of info and links to help you as you are new to them. John (blonde one) is known down here as 'the voice' and when you get into him a bit you will know why. I like how THE THAMESMEN reacted when they discovered him. He was asked to replace Freddy Mercury when he died but declined. Didn't want to leave Oz. I suggest you start with his rendition of the Beatles song next. - HELP. And you may know him because the one song he did that was known worldwide was YOU'RE THE VOICE. Also he sang with Olivia Newton John at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Sydney DARE TO DREAM. As for Jimmy, you might know him from his duet SIMPLY THE BEST with Tina Turner. I think that is on YT somewhere.
Watch the two of them doing this on a long running Saturday morning show called ""HeyHey i'ts Saturday I am 61 yrs old and enjoying you all discovering OUR wonderful talent in Australia 40yrs on but hey , never too late to come to the party John Farnham is 73 and just went thru 12hour surgery cancer mouth and jaw reconstruction EVERY Aussie PRAYING for HIM and his FAMILY , he is a LEGEND also on this episode Tom Jones singing with John( "" the blond one with the mullet "") My Yiddishe Mama on the spur of the moment . Who are these Guys?.. they are Gifts to the World we have all known about , so thankyou for checking them out now. Also give a listen to the 1980 concert John Does with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra , every song 150% never sings a wrong note ,in his long long career , even at 73yrs old. He is known here in Australia as THE VOICE for good reason , he united a whole country , giving us a voice . He is a very caring , down to earth bloke you could run into and he always takes the time for a hello or a quick chat . My Mum was in a show called CHARLIE GIRL where he met his wife JILLIAN and they were very young at the time and still going strong God Bless Them , we are all thinking of you , I hope John is able to see just what is happening at the moment because it seems to be a viral tsunami . John also played Jesus in "JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR "" and the song he sings in the garden called GETHSEMANE , well get your tissues out ,you will need them. My Name is GISELE SIMS writing on my Twin sisters computer ,so even though it will come up with her name I have yet to tell her oops!! cheers from Australia
Mark Lizotte ( Johnny Diesel ) was born in the USA but migrated to Australia when young...... he fronted his own Aussie blues band on vocals and guitar..... Johnny Diesel and The Injectors. All 3 are brilliant vocalists , but both John and Jimmy are living GODS in Australia and both have very deep rabbit holes to explore........ from 1967 to 2022, and I believe Jimmy is still performing now.
Yaaaay congrats you’ve just been woken up to the privilege of listening to two/three of the best make vocalists ever. Not just Australian- we know we’ve had these guys to ourselves for some decades. John for starters ( the blonde) has been in our charts now since the seventies and Jimmy (dark slick back) is not far behind. Diesel is just a hunk who can play awesome guitar and sing the pants off any song. Have fun going down this rabbit hole. Try John’s live performance if Help with the Melbourne symphony orchestra you will then see the range if this guys voice.
This video not only shows John's brilliant vocal range but also his ability to sing almost any genre of music. (soul) To watch one of his rock performances of his biggest hit in Australia (You're the Voice) follow the below link, headphones on and crank up the volume. You need to not only watch and hear but feel this amazing "live" performance. Such a positive, inspirational song. Enjoy. ruclips.net/video/6m2m_9Uijso/видео.htmlsi=_JlXevLH6uIRzzvE
Diesel, had his 57th bday last week, John Farnham is going to be 74 in July, and I think Jimmy Barnes is in his early 60s now. Jimmy Barnes is the black head guy,Farnham the blonde guy and johnny Diesel is the mean guitarist in the nicest way and JB son in law.👋💕🇦🇺
Jimmy is the dark haired, former lead singer of cold chisel, John has the blonde mullet has his own band, Diesel is lead vocalist and guitarist from Johnny Diesel and the Injectors
These guys including Diesel are all successful independent Aussie Artists. All have had their own bands & solo careers. John Farnham "The Voice" as he is known can sing any genre, any key, vocally perfect LIVE. Always react to Aussie artists live. "Farnsey" has Australia's best selling album of all time & Jimmy Barnes with his band Cold Chisel have been the best selling Aussie band of all time. Johnny Diesel is also awesome as a singer but also as one of Australia's best guitarist. Fun fact he's also married to Jimmy Barnes wifes' sister. Australia has a tight music industry. Welcome to the rabbit hole of Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel & John Farnham. You've 50yr careers to catch up on. Diesel likes to keep a lower profile so you'll often just see him behind the scenes on guitar but he to this day is one of my favourite artists to see live. He prefers smaller pub gigs which is the best you'll get in an intimate setting these days.
Jimi Barnes short dark hair was in a band called Cold Chisel, John Farnham started in the late 60’s pop star also sang lead for Little River Band short time and mainly solo artist. John best songs Your the Voice, Help, Longway to the top if you want to Rock n Roll with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and his band best show ever and performance, any Cold Chisel songs Bow River.
Ohohoho you're in for a TREAT! Wait till you hear their individual stuff (woking class man cold chisel for jimmy, the voice for john farmham). I wish I could go back and hear them again for the first time, but I'm Australian they've always been here
Delta Goodrem - Heavy (official video) and The Veronica’s - You Ruin Me (live from the World Famous Rooftop). They are Australian artists. The Veronica’s are twin sisters.
It still blows my mind that there are people who haven’t heard these icons. Jimmy’s band, Cold Chisel is arguably the most popular rock band in Australian history (AC/DC fans might disagree). You need to tumble down that Cold Chisel hole. There’s at least 10 timeless classics among their collection. John Farnham, great solo artist. Probably the most iconic singer of the 80s. Check out his songs from the concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Johnny Diesel is a great guitarist, and he’s a solo artist as well. Not at the same level as the others, but still well loved and had some hits with his band Johnny Diesel & The Injectors. Diesel also appears with Jimmy Barnes on the iconic duet with Tina Turner - “Simply the Best”.
👍Thank you so much for reacting to my request. You made my year. I have had the privilege of seeing John Farnham perform live many times as well as Jimmy Barnes and his band, Cold Chisel. I would love for you to react to Jimmy Barnes - Stone Cold feat. Joe Bonamassa on guitar and John Farnham - Help (LIVE with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) - this is a cover of the Beatles' song. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 💖💖💖
Thank you for requesting this ❤️
Nice request MrsMicMac. Thanks heaps. 🙂
These guys are Aussie icons, together and in their own right. It makes me proud to be an Australian when people react to their exceptional talent. Love them all.
John Farnham (blonde guy) - singing in Australia since 1967!! He is the most amazing live performer. Jimmy Barnes( in tuxedo) front man for an Australian rock band "Cold Chisel". He also has had a very successful solo career, since the 1970's. Both are adored by Australia. We've loved and emjoyed their music for over 40 years. Diesel is a reknown Australian guitarist.
You need to check out John Farnham singing "Help" live with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Then you need to listen to "You're The Voice" by John Farnham. We are so proud of these guys here in Australia
This version has fewer views because there are several more popular versions of the duo/trio.
Diesel is married to the sister of Jimmy's wife, and a very talented singer in his own right.
Jimmy was in the band Cold Chisel from 1973 (age 16) to 1984 when he started his solo career, which continues today, with him topping 10,000 performances.
John was a teen pop idol (King of Pop 1969, 70, 71, 72, 73) from 1967 (age 18) to 1979, briefly lead singer of The Little River Band (1982 to 1985), but is much better known as a solo singer with incredible backing musicians and singers who have mainly been with him for decades. John has had a number-one record in five consecutive decades (60s to 00s). He was selected as Australian of the Year in 1987.
John is much loved by Aussies as much for being a down-to-earth and generous guy as for his amazing talent.
Jimmy still performs today, John is currently rehabilitating from removal of a mouth tumour. Both have kept their range and power across the decades.
Great info.
Great compilation 😀
They are AUSTRALIAN performers and have been around for DECADES. John Farnham is my favourite. He is a singing genius with a big vocal range and can sing in over 20 genres. John is a consummate showman, is sooo charismatic and has amazing rapport with his audience when in concert. He has won many music awards, the 'Australian of the Year' award by the Federal Government, had long running top singles and albums, had books written about him and recently and a documentary film named, 'Finding The Voice' has been recently released. He is known as 'The Voice' from his hit song, 'You're The Voice', which is known around the world. Midway in his career, John decided that preferred to stay home in Oz to be close to family and friends, rather than to pursue fame in other countries. There are a lot of his videos on You Tube. ALWAYS choose LIVE concert clips as this is where John shines. His concerts with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are wonderful. Melbourne is where he had his singing fame start, in the state of Victoria, where he and his family live.
Don't forget Jimmy who actually has the greater vocal range 4 and a half octaves John has a 3 octave range.
@@davidhandson2429 On 'The Vocal Range' of both Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham, by Platypus Johnson, Jimmy Barnes ranges from F2 to B5 and John Farnham ranges from A2 to F#5.
You have just opened a huge rabbit hole with these guys!! If you react to our John and Jimmy the Australians will come to your channel in huge numbers trust me!!
These guys are our greatest national treasure and we adore them both as singers and as people!
Enjoy the journey 🙏
These two white dudes sound very soulful, and throw in that guitar solo wow what a performance
Jimmy is the slick back hair. John’s the blonde. Both brilliant. Both have rocked us out for decades. They didn’t do many songs together they’re both independent artists, Jimmy is also lead singer of Cold Chisel.
thought you would give Diesel a mention
@@iancremmins4727 I had to leave something for the rest of the gang!! 😂
Diesel is also a recording artist with a great voice and also the brother in law of Jimmy Barnes
👍
John Farnham’s cover of the Beatles song Help is a must see from the classic Jack concert. Whenever you do a John Farnham reaction. Live performances are best because he sounds so much better live if that’s possible, actually it is! I’ve been to his concerts numerous and he never disappoints! Great reaction
And down the rabbit hole you go
Two of Australia’s greatest vocalists! John is known as “The Voice” in Australia. Only check their live versions as they are the best, in particular John’s live versions with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra ❤
Oooo I’m soooo hyped for you to go on the John Farnham deep dive.
You simply MUST. Live over any recording for him!
Help with the Melbourne symphony orchestra! Beatles cover! It was his encore after a two or three hour concert. He is royalty down here, and he’s recovering arm from cancer of the throat. Ironic since he’s known as The Voice.
‘You’re the voice’ is also incredible
And you’d probably know it
And also!!! His black dog led zep cover which was used as a warmup/sound check. Insane. He’s just not human ❤❤
Discovering these two (three with Diesel) is like finding a great new series to watch on Netflix that you slept on, but every season is there for you to binge on.
You’ve just stumbled upon 2 of the greatest voices on the planet. There’s hundreds of hours of amazing performances from them for you to watch. You will never be bored ever again. Enjoy.
You need to watch John Farnham singing "Help" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Also "Your The Voice" from the same concert
Barnsey and Farnsy are two separate giant rabbit holes to go down! Pretty much anything John Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is awesome to react to first. You’re the Voice (our unofficial national anthem), Help ( the Beatles cover that John made his own in the 80’s and this is the way John Lennon intended the song to be sung originally), It’s a Long Way to the Top (AC/DC cover) and my favourite Playing to Win. Enjoy!!
👍John Farnham is the greatest showman go down the rabbit hole,he is the Goat
👍👍👍 Lookout! You’re about to be overrun by us Aussies. 😃 Loved your reaction and loved that you’re not afraid of a swear word or two. You’re practically Australian already. 😍
😂😂😅😅
Welcome to the Australian music scene. Jimmy, John & Diesel all have their own rabbit holes you can go down, full of exciting music. Thanks for the reaction. One piece of advise, most Australian artists will produce their best work in front of live audiences, so always take a live performance over a studio one.
John Farnham is the blonde bloke who has a massive solo career in Australia.
Jimmy Barnes is the lead singer for a great band called cold Chisel. Diesel is a singer and great guitarist in his own right too.
All these guys are well loved by all Australians.
Welcome to the amazing world of Aussie music! Come on in and enjoy 😊
Awesome reaction Glad you liked our boys John and Jimmy.
These guys are Australian Rock Royalty and have been around for decades. Both Solo artists who have collaborated only a couple of times....but the are also great mates. Jimmy is also lead singer for asutralian rock band Cold Chisel. And John was lead singer for LRB from 82 to 86
Both have had hugely successful careers in Australia. John had a lot of success in eaurope in the later 80's as well as touring the US with LRB in the early 80's.
More stuff to listen to.
JOHN LRB days Reminiscing and SOLO his most famous song You're the Voice, live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

John Farnham’s career goes right back to the 60’s when he’s started out highly commercialised teen pop idol then known as Johnny Farnham .
In the early 80’s dropped the Johnny for John for a more mature contemporary style and from 1982 to early 1986 John was the Little River Band’s lead singer . LRB was an Australian supergroup .
In late 1986 solo career got back on track with the hit single You’re The Voice that features on the album Whispering Jack which was the first album domestically in Australia to sell over 1 million copies.

Two Aussie legends, your going to have fun going down this rabbit hole 😊
Only Aussie rock royalty, Farnsey and Barnsey 😂 John Farnham - always always live. His stage presence is magnetic. Anything with him and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) - You're the Voice, Help (Beatles cover) and It's a Long Way to the Top (AC/DC cover) are the best places to start and then the journey can really get under way. Thank you for this reaction 🎉🎉
Barnsey, Farnsey and Diesel being awesome! All great artists in their own right!
Welcome to 3 of our Aussie legends! Yes, they certainly Can Sing -Awesomely -Always!
Glad you've finally discovered them. Now try : 'When the War is over' (live)
Like many Australians, I have loved John Farnham for 50 + years. He is arguably the Greatest Singer Of All Time /in all Countries. John Farnham has had 6 decades worth of Hit songs here in Australia, and he also topped the charts in Europe in the late 80's/early 90's...so you may have a bit of catching up to do now? (Apparently US rejected him because he didn't fit into a particular music genre). Why?...because he is so clever, he sings any and all music genres. He has the most incredible voice and vocal range. He is also a phenomenal performer, comedian and live entertainer. Always try to watch his live performances if you can.
Welcome to one of the deepest rabbit holes you'll find. Here in Aussie we love our lengends.ENJO
Australian musical royalty right there. Imo - John farnham is the best vocal that has ever existed. No words to describe his talent.
Aussie royalty. John is THE VOICE> I heard them on RUclips for the first time. A
huge rabbit hole.
John is the blonde-haired guy, Jimmy is the one with the slicked back hair. Jimmy is lead singer of the band Cold Chisel, John is predominantly a solo artist, although he did a stint with the Little River Band in the early 80s.
John is probably the most beloved musical artist in Australia, and you'll get plenty of views if you keep reacting to his stuff. Ignoring the views though, once you start you won't be able to stop, as he's an amazing vocalist and brilliant performer in general. Here are a few to get you started from both of them, pretty much guarantee you'll love all of these:
Help - John Farnham (1989) demonstrating his amazing vocals with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - ruclips.net/video/dv54giOSRKs/видео.html
You're the Voice - John Farnham, same concert as before. John was a teen idol in the late 60s, but went through a time in the late 70s/early 80s where the music industry in Australia was not interested in him and he was basically ignored. This is his comeback song off his comeback album in 1986. This song is an absolute anthem in Australia, and you won't meet an Australian anywhere of any age who doesn't know it - ruclips.net/video/6m2m_9Uijso/видео.html
Bow River - Cold Chisel (from 2003)- ruclips.net/video/TdVRNDnTKTU/видео.html
Wild Thing - Cold Chisel in their younger and wilder days - ruclips.net/video/7Bgr_WVSL84/видео.html
Two magnificent legends along with Diesel who was playing the guitar 🎸. If you would like to check out Jimmy Barnes singing Simply the Best with Tina Turner, and I’m sure many recommendations will follow from other Jimmy fans. There is also a collaboration tour with John Farnham and Tom Jones in Australia that worth a look as well as 5 decades of pure talent. The only way to enjoy these guys is to view them in live. Enjoy the journey 👍
Both Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham are some of the best of the best artists on the planet, but throw in Diesel who is also an artist and Jimmy’s brother in law and you have some real soul music.
Jimmy is number one in my books anytime, anywhere. He was the lead singer of Cold Chisel and solo artist from 1983 onwards. PS Cold Chisel are from the 70’s and their working class songs resonate with us Aussies. They never broke through in the USA but are definitely worth some time. Can’t give you my all time favourite song cause I love them all. Others have commented already about some of their songs, which would be Bow (bow as in Bow Tie) River. Actually the lead is Ian Moss on this particular song, but Jimmy aka Barnsey adds to the tune with his beautiful falsetto. Live of course ….and I would suggest the version from their concert at Ringside in 2003 (although the band ceased in 1983 they have toured together since).Also, their song, When the war is over from the same performance is 🔥. Then there is the cover of the Troggs’ Wild Thing to see Jimmy really rocking it out. Add to that Choir Girl, Breakfast at Sweethearts, Saturday Night, Forever Now, Cheap Wine, and Four Walls just to name a few. Jimmy’s solo career is now nearing 40 years as well with songs like Driving Wheels, Working Class Man, Too much ant enough love, Stone Cold, and many many more. In fact he has had a lot of number 1 records in this country, so many I forget. Throw in his collaborations with so many artists and you could be rocking out for years to come.
Diesel aka Mark Lizotte was the lead singer for Johnny Diesel and the injectors, but married Jimmy’s wife’s sister so they are brother in laws. He can really sing and play that guitar. He features in the song Simply the best, when Jimmy sang that with the late Tina Turner RIP. I love their released hit together, Still got a long way ❤❤❤❤ and Since I fell for you.
John is Farnham or Farnsey, is also worth your time. He is currently recovering from mouth cancer and I understand had to have some of his jaw removed. He is a tad older than Jimmy, and has had hits from the 60’s and enjoyed a period as lead singer for the Aussie band LRB, or Little River Band, taking over from Glenn Shorrock.
Enjoy, and if your keen to go down that road, hold on to your hat!!!!
Welcome to our Aussie icons! You'll be going down the rabbit hole now. Jimmy Barnes as a solo artist and wit the band Cold Chisel. Diesel as a solo artist who was also in Johhny Diesel and the Injectors, and The Voice: John Farnham.
Jimmy is the brunette with slicked back hair, he was both the back up and lead singer of a group called Cold Chisel with roots with Rock 'n Roll and Blues.
John the blonde is primarily a solo artist in Pop and Ballads with his own Band called the John Farnham Band made up of some of the best talent found in Australia and out.
Diesel had his own band, Diesel and the Injectors, is also a Solo Artist that specializes in Blues and Soul.
All of them have dabbled with multiple genre's, John especially has delved into every genre that you can think of and mastered it, you only have to go and look it up to verify the truth of that statement.
They all have ties with other great legendary Australian Artists and have done countless Sessional Works and Compilations with Artists local and abroad.
Pick any of the three and you will not be bored or disappointed with the sheer astonishning amount of content showcasing their astonishing raw talent and abilities.
These rabbit holes will undoubtedly lead you to other greats.
There is one thing though that they all have in common, *ALWAYS watch them LIVE!*
Album recordings and official video clips are okay, but LIVE is honestly better and the only way to go with these three.
You need to listen to more of John Farnham.His mist well known song is Your The Voice.Listen to the Melbourne performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
React to John Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra ( songs to look for "Help , You're the voice, Playing to win , It's a long way to the top)
John farnham singing " Burn for you" and "When the war is over" live version
I grew up with these two! They have both been entertaining Australia for DECADES
The guitar 🎸 player is Jimmy's brother inlaw and. He is a legend in his own right. Jimmy Barnes was known as the bad boy of rock when he started with Cold Chisel at 18. John was a teen idol in his early career. The song is a Dave and Sam cover. All of John Farnham's, Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel reactions must be live as their performances are a show in themselves. Jimmy 66 years old has just released an album. 5 of Jimmy's kids can sing. Check out Stone Cold with Joe Bonamassa. Check out John's songs Help, Burn For You, It’s a Long Way To The Top, The Voice and Black Dog (audio only) John used as a mic check/ warm up song.
And don't forget John Farnham who is 73 also just had a new album released a couple of weeks ago with songs from the Bio Pic movie on his life. The Album entered the charts at number 2 and the movie has broken all cinematic records for a doco in Australia.
Both John and Jimmy have huge followings of loyal fans❤😊
I've seen all 3 in concert, their all separate Artists. Farnham started in the 60's, Jimmy the 70's & Diesel the 80's. Jimmy & Diesel are Brother inlaws, but all 3 are friends. Barnsy & Farnsy (as they are called) like to have screaming competition during the songs, you will pick them up during different performances.
Hi from Australia. Please check out John doing Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He is our national treasure and his talent will blow your mind once you start discovering the 20- odd styles he performs in.
As a New Zealander, Mr Jimmy Barnes, Mr John Farnham and Mr Diesel are very well know and played music at our parties, welcome to the ride, this is going to be one of the best musical train ride ever.
Great reaction! Yep, that's our Barnsey (dark hair), Farnsey (blonde hair) and Diesel. All very brilliant and much loved Aussie icons. They are all individual highly acclaimed musicians who occasionally sang together.
Aussie music royalty...others will tell you all about them. One woman shares a huge cut and paste. Wait for it lol! I'm just gonna sub...cos I reckon you'll do a few more from these guys.
🤣 you’re a funny man Rick!
The boys are out of the box now.
You've got about 50 years of absolute gold to catch up on with these 2 iconic legends of Oz rock.
Enjoyed the reaction mate. I won't bother repeating what other's have already said I will just ask for you to react to one one of Jimmy Barnes new song's. This song Soothe me with Sam Moore was released just after Jimmy turned 66 and his voice is still incredible and Sam Moore from the group Sam And Dave is 86 years old and is amazing.
I totally agree. It's one of my favourite songs 🎵 ❤😊
And don't forget Do you Love me with Josh Teskey. Such fun
@@LizzieRD how could anybody forget.
@@davidhandson2429 Not me for sure 🥳🥰💃🕺🤸
They are from Australia and are all solo artists in their own right and came together for this cover. Jimmy on the left, John on the right and Diesel the guitarist. Diesel is also married to Jimmys sister 😊
Have just subscribed to you bro, you are one of the coolest reactors I have watched👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣, do yourself and us Aussies a favour and get onto the jimmy barnes solo songs and also his band ‘cold chisel’ on your channel. You will be taken for the ride of your life!!! (Trust us). To see a reactor standing (instead of sitting) and your facial expressions hearing jimmy was reminiscent of myself when I first heard him back in 1976. I look forward to joining you on your journey if you do a lot more jimmy/ cold chisel 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Notice John Farnham is holding the mike closer to Diesel at the end as he knows there’s no problem picking up his voice, even from a distance. Legends all 3
All three are rock legends in Australia. New documentary out now in Australia about John Farnham.
This is my favourite version of this song. Jimmy and John, plus Diesel. Can't do better than that.
John Farnham is the one with vocal range and the better voice. Also is the Biggest and Best singer in Australia
John covering Help by the Beatles with the Melbourne symphony orchestra and Jimmy singing with Ian Moss and Cold Chisel doing Bow River or Jimmy with Joe Bonamassa Stone Cold or Jimmy’s daughter Mahalia with Joe Bonamassa Riding with the Kings then anything by Cold Chisel, the band that Jimmy fronted or Jimmy with Sam Moore ( Sam and Dave) Soothe Me or Jimmy and Joe Bonamassa covering Lazy. All EPIC
Always do LIVE with Farnsey & Barnsey.
Diesel is well worth checking too!!
Just a few of our Aussie boys we’ve been listening to for decades. We have a few other lol - ooodles of Talent the world is finally discovering via RUclips 😊
If you react to John Farnham or Jimmy Barnes and his former band cold chisel you will have heaps of Aussie subs😂. We love it when people react to Aussie legends 😊 cold chisel 2003 ring side live " Bow River" do yourself a favour!!!!
You have been educated in Aussie greatness!!! Welcome to the best kept secret in Australia.
EACH Individual Aussie Legends. Together simply magical. Enjoy exploring more.
Have just subbed for this. I've seen all 3 of this guys live so many times. Jimmy is 66 and still doing gigs,
Great voices great guys. They rock❤
Jimmy is the dark haiored one, and John is the blonde!!!
Recommend you react to John Farnham “Help” live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Anything from the “Classic Jack” concert by John or anything live. He’s an Australian national treasure.
Check out Jimmy Barnes singing Simply The Best with Tina Turner
These guys are real deal. I'm just ina country next to Australia and man, they are some of the best artists I listen to as there are TOO GOOD.
Watch John Farnham help with the melbourne symphony orchestra live
John Farnham is probably the best male vocalist I’ve ever heard… you should hear his cover of Led Zeppelin’s song Black Dog’…
This was the that John an his band used for sound checks. He never recorded this song on any of his album’s.
@@mrsmicmac5548 Yet it’s so good that he could have released it… 👍
@@mrsmicmac5548 it is on the third anthologies album though luckily, as I’m sure you know, and the quality of the production is A1.
John Farnham is the blonde guy with the higher voice. He is known as the voice and I think the greatest vocalist of all time with such agility and range. Jimmy is the other guy and diesel part of jimmys band. Jimmy was from cold chisel (80’s ) band but solo now. John mainly been solo artist apart from his stint in “the little river band”. Diesel also went solo artist all are very talented in their own right but John and Jimmy were huge over here in Australia. We’ve had the pleasure of John’s phenomenal voice for over 50 years and Jimmy for over 40 years. Plenty of stuff out there for you to explore on both of them, especially John.
Why do you get surprised by our music Aussie Rock and our talented music history. We have live with this type of music all our lives for over 50 or more years. ❤
All three are legends of Australia and are a credit to Australia
Best Talent yourve heard in a looong time.
Aussie legends... you are about go deep into the rabbit hole.
Don't forget about Diesel. He is a great vocalist in his own right.
Jimmy is the one with slick back hair. John is the blonde. The gitarist is Deisel who is Jimmy's brotherinlaw
Australias music royalty. ❤❤ John Farnham can song absolutely genre. Jimmy is our rock and soul icon with John and Deisel is a singer in his own right and plays the guitar so well. Xxx
What I left below is a cut and paste of a lot of info and links to help you as you are new to them. John (blonde one) is known down here as 'the voice' and when you get into him a bit you will know why. I like how THE THAMESMEN reacted when they discovered him. He was asked to replace Freddy Mercury when he died but declined. Didn't want to leave Oz. I suggest you start with his rendition of the Beatles song next. - HELP. And you may know him because the one song he did that was known worldwide was YOU'RE THE VOICE. Also he sang with Olivia Newton John at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Sydney DARE TO DREAM. As for Jimmy, you might know him from his duet SIMPLY THE BEST with Tina Turner. I think that is on YT somewhere.
Absolutely gotta watch John farnham’s ‘Help’ with the Melbourne symphony orchestra.
It’ll blow you away
Watch the two of them doing this on a long running Saturday morning show called ""HeyHey i'ts Saturday I am 61 yrs old and enjoying you all discovering OUR wonderful talent in Australia 40yrs on but hey , never too late to come to the party John Farnham is 73 and just went thru 12hour surgery cancer mouth and jaw reconstruction EVERY Aussie PRAYING for HIM and his FAMILY , he is a LEGEND also on this episode Tom Jones singing with John( "" the blond one with the mullet "") My Yiddishe Mama on the spur of the moment .

Mark Lizotte ( Johnny Diesel ) was born in the USA but migrated to Australia when young...... he fronted his own Aussie blues band on vocals and guitar..... Johnny Diesel and The Injectors.
All 3 are brilliant vocalists , but both John and Jimmy are living GODS in Australia and both have very deep rabbit holes to explore........ from 1967 to 2022, and I believe Jimmy is still performing now.
All 3 are Aussie Legends. All have sung in bands but sing single now.
I grew up with them if seeing them live too
Deisal is the bro-in-law of Jimmy and a great performer in his own right.
Gotta say I prefer the hey hey it’s Saturday performance lol I mean none of their performances are bad, just seemed more relaxed doing it at hey hey
Prayers for John Farnham as he was diagnosed and treated for oral cancer August 2022. Check out Deisel!
Yaaaay congrats you’ve just been woken up to the privilege of listening to two/three of the best make vocalists ever. Not just Australian- we know we’ve had these guys to ourselves for some decades. John for starters ( the blonde) has been in our charts now since the seventies and Jimmy (dark slick back) is not far behind. Diesel is just a hunk who can play awesome guitar and sing the pants off any song. Have fun going down this rabbit hole. Try John’s live performance if Help with the Melbourne symphony orchestra you will then see the range if this guys voice.
Thumbs up from all of Australia
Welcome to the most complex rabbit hole…absolutely awesome experiences behind each door…BUT BEWARE…once in you’ll never find your way out…❤
This video not only shows John's brilliant vocal range but also his ability to sing almost any genre of music. (soul) To watch one of his rock performances of his biggest hit in Australia (You're the Voice) follow the below link, headphones on and crank up the volume. You need to not only watch and hear but feel this amazing "live" performance. Such a positive, inspirational song. Enjoy.
ruclips.net/video/6m2m_9Uijso/видео.htmlsi=_JlXevLH6uIRzzvE
G’day from Oz. Both legends here.
Diesel, had his 57th bday last week, John Farnham is going to be 74 in July, and I think Jimmy Barnes is in his early 60s now. Jimmy Barnes is the black head guy,Farnham the blonde guy and johnny Diesel is the mean guitarist in the nicest way and JB son in law.👋💕🇦🇺
Jimmy is the dark haired, former lead singer of cold chisel, John has the blonde mullet has his own band, Diesel is lead vocalist and guitarist from Johnny Diesel and the Injectors
Known John since the late 60s, Jimmy since mid 70s and Marc (Diesel) since 80s. First saw John live about 1974.
Grew up listening Farnsy and Barnsy later in life. Diesel (on the guitar) ins Barnsy brother Inlaw .
Checkout Guy Sebastian…Aussie singer..won the Idol years ago…now he’s on the Voice as a judge!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺💞💞💞
These guys including Diesel are all successful independent Aussie Artists. All have had their own bands & solo careers. John Farnham "The Voice" as he is known can sing any genre, any key, vocally perfect LIVE.
Always react to Aussie artists live. "Farnsey" has Australia's best selling album of all time & Jimmy Barnes with his band Cold Chisel have been the best selling Aussie band of all time. Johnny Diesel is also awesome as a singer but also as one of Australia's best guitarist. Fun fact he's also married to Jimmy Barnes wifes' sister. Australia has a tight music industry. Welcome to the rabbit hole of Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel & John Farnham. You've 50yr careers to catch up on. Diesel likes to keep a lower profile so you'll often just see him behind the scenes on guitar but he to this day is one of my favourite artists to see live. He prefers smaller pub gigs which is the best you'll get in an intimate setting these days.
Jimi Barnes short dark hair was in a band called Cold Chisel, John Farnham started in the late 60’s pop star also sang lead for Little River Band short time and mainly solo artist. John best songs Your the Voice, Help, Longway to the top if you want to Rock n Roll with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and his band best show ever and performance, any Cold Chisel songs Bow River.
Australian music royalty. We've tried to keep them to ourselves.
Great reaction thankyou
Ohohoho you're in for a TREAT! Wait till you hear their individual stuff (woking class man cold chisel for jimmy, the voice for john farmham). I wish I could go back and hear them again for the first time, but I'm Australian they've always been here
John could have been a wold super star but he did not wonr to leave his family so he just stayed in Aussie singing for us how lucky were we
Delta Goodrem - Heavy (official video) and The Veronica’s - You Ruin Me (live from the World Famous Rooftop). They are Australian artists. The Veronica’s are twin sisters.
It still blows my mind that there are people who haven’t heard these icons.
Jimmy’s band, Cold Chisel is arguably the most popular rock band in Australian history (AC/DC fans might disagree).
You need to tumble down that Cold Chisel hole. There’s at least 10 timeless classics among their collection.
John Farnham, great solo artist. Probably the most iconic singer of the 80s. Check out his songs from the concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Johnny Diesel is a great guitarist, and he’s a solo artist as well. Not at the same level as the others, but still well loved and had some hits with his band Johnny Diesel & The Injectors.
Diesel also appears with Jimmy Barnes on the iconic duet with Tina Turner - “Simply the Best”.
