That clip is Kings Cross Sydney 40 years ago, sad to think that a lot of those in the clip are no longer with us. Lived fast and died pretty young, a lot of my friends lived that lifestyle as well. I used to drink a bit too much as a 20 something but never touched anything harder than that, unlike many of those in this clip on the street.
The other singer in Chisel is Ian Moss or Mossy as he's called here. This clip was filmed in a suburb of Sydney called Kings Cross. Full of Strip Clubs and Night Clubs. Saturday night in "The Cross" was always an eye opener 😂. After partying all night, we used to head for a little cafe/diner called Sweethearts, grab a seat by the window to people watch. Cold Chisel have a song called Breakfast at Sweethearts that you might like to react to.
I'll never forget introducing a guy to Mossy at The Playroom on the Gold Coast. I was a roadie and had one of my housemates with me. He was walking away saying " ian moss shook my hand, I shook hands with Mossy " I never understood that idolised view of musicians. I had worked for a couple of bands the bass player for Mossy had been in. Joe Embrol, good player and having been in the industry for a few years, id run into Chisel a few times. Ahhhhhhh the Australian pub rock circuit was absolutely amazing. Some gigs were scarry places, but we persevered and lived to gig another day. Swanee giving a lecture to the Rockett's one night in a band room drunk as a skunk. Telling the band that they had to do more to support Wendy in making it a good show.
Wendy Stapleton should have been a huge act in her own right, good band and some great tunes. I think you just explained why Wendy & the Rocketts never made it big.
Chisel's discography is so diverse but they rarely produced a dud. I love the way this song slips into the minor key for the melancholy/storytelling verses then back to the major for the choruses. It's a journey.
I’m a Melbourne girl who did spend a night out in Kings Cross with my bestie in 1983, and it was wild, and I’ll say no more 😂😂 And I always love it when Mossy takes the lead!!
Hey Mike, so great to find a Texan who knows Aussie music! As an Aussie married to a Texan, that really rocks. How about you listen to Redgum, I Was Only 19, but be ready, it will tug on your heart strings ... If you haven't hear it already Cheers mate 😊
This song was on their Twentieth Century album, released in 1984 after their breakup. World class music. They have reformed since multiple times for concerts and albums. Shout out and well wishes to my favourite singer, Jimmy Barnes aka Barnsey, who’s in hospital having more surgery on his hip. Get well soon ❤
The thing I really loved about cold chisel is their ability to tell great stories, where the music fits the mood and they were never afraid to cross all sorts of genres, never locked themselves into the same old same old. I have a few suggestions for you in the Australian arena, you might enjoy Renee Geyer, the black sorrows and the lead singer's previous band Jo Jo Zep and the falcons, John Farnham, skyhooks, Billy Thorpe, Sherbet, and even further back with the easy beats, and you simply have to hear Stevie Wright (ex singer of the easy beats) do the first ever 3 part and 11 minute song Evie, it's very emotive. Oh and his song black eyed bruiser, which is later covered by another Aussie band called rose tattoo. The lead singer, Angry Anderson, is in the movie Mad Max - beyond thunderdome, the short bald guy. Also, you might enjoy the early stuff from INXS and Icehouse, when their name was the flowers, specially the songs sister, we can get together and I can't help myself. Other great ones to hear are Russell Morris, flash and the pan, the loved ones, Matt finish, the radiators, the living end and end of fashion . There's just too many to mention, but that's heaps for you to go on for quite a while.😅 😁
Yet just another Cold Chisel song that tells a story of reality. From pure Rock, to Ballards and Blues, Cold Chisel had it all. Aussie Legends that still continue to bring us music pleasure. Two fabulous singers/voices (jimmy and Ian) that fronted the band and each giving the other a place to shine and show their talent. Cold Chisel will forever be remembered as honest pioneers that led the way.
Oh my god! I was a young kid in the 80’s born in the year 78 . All I remember from this song back in the 80’s is 🎵Saturday night do do do do do do do🎵 😂😂 the rest of the lyrics just went over my head and cause I was having flashbacks the lyrics still went over my head. Think I need to rewatch this again😂😂
Ian Moss is the other singer. They harmonise so well together. You’ll find Ian singing a lot of Cold Chisel songs, they do a lot with the two of them and also some with just Ian or just Jimmy. If you want to hear Ian check out Cry Me a River it’s beautiful ❤
You still awake Doc lol. I’m waiting on my cuppa and Tim Tams I ordered from u a few songs back 😂 Oh this songs starting / bye -- oh no sugar in my tea thanks 😂
Ian moss was the lead on this one.. Johnny diesel is Jimmy’s brother in law and has played guitar and sung back up for Jimmy many times especially in his solo career Johnny diesel also has a great solo career Johnny diesel is in film clip playing guitar with Jimmy and Tina Turner when they sing duet (simply the best)
This was filmed in King's Cross which is Sydney's red light and nightclub district. Apparently Don Walker the songwriter lived near there back iin the day. You should also check out Breakfast at Sweethearts, another great Chisel song by Don Walker which refers to an all night cafe in the same area.
Iconic Aussie song. This, Flame Trees and Khe Sanh are the 3 songs I think of when Cold Chisel are mentioned. Ofc they have many more iconic so g's but these three are what got wedged into my brain as a kid!
A tune that will particularly resonate with many Americans and which has been sitting in a vault for many decades until it was unearthed recently was Ian Moss rendition of Georgia. U will be mightily impressed I guarantee ya! haha
We're talking about pub bands here people! Not the idol crap!! Stop bringing up the likes of Sebastian.. karaoke stars. . This is Rock and roll bones.. fuckin earned!! ✌️
Hey Mike a bit of steering down the road from me . Johnny Diesel is the guitarist you liked in the Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham duet. He always playa his heart out, sings beautifully and gives a crowd a show.
Great to see you discovering this truly great Aussie band. I've got my tickets to see them in October. Hopefully Jimmy will be over his medical issue and back at work by then. Cheers.
They were right at their peak here...unfortunately the album, Twentieth Century, was released after their initial breakup. Not too many have suggested it yet but you should do "Flame Trees" (official video) as it is a much beloved ballad. This video was filmed at the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Kings Cross/Paddington, Sydney. The main lead singer here is lead guitarist, Ian Moss. Thanks for the reaction Mike.
the setting is Kings Cross mainly Oxford St it was /is Sydneys red light district it looks nothing like this now I can remember cruizin with mates and you always knew you were there once you saw that iconic Coca Cola sign
any chance you could do an old CC bluesy number look for RARE Cold Chisel 1978 “Just How Many Times” on Dr Kaps channel oh btw also on her channel is Cry Me a River a few of us have recommended that song
They are hugely varied, and this was never one I really liked (sorry). For some classic Chisel: Forever now Choir girl You got nothing I want (their reaction to American music labels) And to get an idea of just how great they were live at their peak: Wild Thing (last stand tour)
i like this song but i think it's a bad suggestion to try to give someone an idea of what the band is like. Certainly not the best of what they can do.
The perfect chaser to Saturday Night is Breakfast at Sweethearts. Another chisel classic.

The joy of having multiple world-class singers in your band. I particularly love Jimmy Barnes taking the more backing role here to Ian Moss's lead.
Not to mention a world class songwriter in your corner

cool story
Im surprised we remember sometimes 😂😂😂
@bootn13 I know right 🤣
And Saturday Night and Breakfast at Sweethearts are probably my two favourite Chisel songs.
Best place in the cross being the Manzel room. (Probably spelt that wrong 😅).
Ian Moss rocks, what a vocalist, and the best guitarists Ive seen.

Barnsy and Mossie both sing 👏 No Diesel in this one
Chisel's discography is so diverse but they rarely produced a dud. I love the way this song slips into the minor key for the melancholy/storytelling verses then back to the major for the choruses. It's a journey.
Hi buck. I am Sydney-sider. My girl is a Texan. She is loud.
Poor man.. ha ha..
I’m a Melbourne girl who did spend a night out in Kings Cross with my bestie in 1983, and it was wild, and I’ll say no more 😂😂 And I always love it when Mossy takes the lead!!

Yeah, I did that one, but it was blocked for some reason. I'm gonna try and upload again and cross my fingers.
This song was on their Twentieth Century album, released in 1984 after their breakup. World class music. They have reformed since multiple times for concerts and albums.

Reminds me of Sydney night life in the 80's . Great song

I can be the total opposite of who I real am on here lol. I am honestly pretty shy, but on here, Mrs pushy emerges 😂
@@bernadettelanders7306 LOL I kinda gathered that! ❤️
a hell YES to Cry Me a River
Ian moss was the lead on this one.. Johnny diesel is Jimmy’s brother in law and has played guitar and sung back up for Jimmy many times especially in his solo career
Johnny diesel also has a great solo career
Johnny diesel is in film clip playing guitar with Jimmy and Tina Turner when they sing duet (simply the best)

Diesel was Jimmy’s brother in-law funnily enough. But the other singer/guitarist is Ian Moss (Mossy to the locals).
Saturday night in Sydney Australia...
Iconic Aussie song.

Singing is Ian Moss who sang the start of "When the war is over"

My favourite Chisel song.
Great to see you discovering this truly great Aussie band. I've got my tickets to see them in October. Hopefully Jimmy will be over his medical issue and back at work by then. Cheers.
Love your channel ❤
Cold chisel and Jimmy Barnes started in Adelaide 70's pub scene, Largs Pier hotel, get well Jimmy.
Adelaide South Australia 🌏🌏🦘🦘
Classic song for hard drinking city-slickers who drink themselves sober in a lonely metropolis
You’re right & it happens too often
Mossy! Thanks for sharing mate, glad you loved it. "I've got 2 day's money" is one of the most expressive lines I've ever heard in a song
You might also enjoy "U.S. Forces" and "Short Memory" by Midnight Oil... great Aussie band too mate..
This is Kings Cross Sydney 40 years ago , The US Sailors loved this place just up the hill from the Garden Island Navy Base
You should check out “flame trees” offical video. Every Cold Chisel song sounds different
Ian Moss
This and Janelle are two of my favourites
Early chisel another top song is Working class man. Oh and its a sub from me thanks for your service brother .
Yes yes. Working class man
Thank you!
Working class man is a must to check out

No problem bro. Subscibed mate and keep up the good work. Just focus on Jimmy barnes( cold chisel) and John farnam😁🥳🍻❤️

Reminds of my old days in my music career. Breakfast At Sweethearts and all the boyfriends that want to kill me.
oops
Yes that was Sydney in the background.
C'mon Aussies, hit that subscribe button like ya would a Coldie, on Xmas day... costs ya nothing.
Stay safe at work mate. I don't envy American cops.
Sorry’ Diesel is there in this
Subscribe everyone!! This is an awesome channel. Keep it going! So many Aussie songs.....

You bet. I'll put it on the list my friend. Thank you.
Mossy and Barnsey....
Ian moss is the other singer
Sorry dude, I thought I'd already subscribed my bad rectified it now.
They are hugely varied, and this was never one I really liked (sorry). For some classic Chisel:
Forever now
Choir girl
You got nothing I want (their reaction to American music labels)
And to get an idea of just how great they were live at their peak:
Wild Thing (last stand tour)
