Barnesy has a multi-talented family including brother in law Johnny Diesel who plays a mean guitar and sang in a trio with Jimmy and John back in the 90’s and played lead guitar in the above song. One of the female backup voices you hear in a lot of these songs is missus Barnes, Jane who has a hell of a voice of her own and is an awesome bagpipe player. If you get a chance check out the Jimmy and Tina Turner duet.
That means you've miss decades and decades of this gorgeous man. Even people who aren't or weren't big fans remember they really are really big. He's just gorgeous.
Good for you mate. Have a look at Joe Camilleri and the Falcons too if you are interested in Aussie music. It's like American but with a different twist.
look into hoodoo gurus, gangajang, the angels, rose tattoo, mondo rock, Ice house, goanna and, and ............ next lol (just a short 80s Australia playlist that will give days of music lol)
Jimmy Barnes is an Australian legend. His solo stuff is great, but his work with Cold Chisel is iconic. Cold Chisel is one of Australia’s greatest ever bands and in many ways their music is the soundtrack to generations of Australians, especially those of us who grew up in the 80s & 90s.
@@DavidPola1961 if you were lucky enough to be part of that 70s pub rock scene, absolutely. I think for most of us though, the release of East and Circus Animals cemented them as a legendary force, which carried their popularity into the following decades.
So well put. Growing up in this era to decades of Jimmy Barnes showing everyone that a white man can have all the soul in the world and a voice that speaks louder than words.
You Are All AbsoFuckinglutely Right 👍 I was 3 in 1970 and They Came to Whyalla South Australia I was Half Asleep Under a Table As My Mum and Dad Ran the Bar at Time We got to see them after as Sat Down and Had a Few Drinks with My Dad and I Wasn't Asleep for long LoL 😂😂 Keep Them Aussie Rockers Coming Now I am going to Checkout Your Channel 😊
When I hear this I'm so proud to be Australian. Yes in the late 70s I was sneaking into the Bondi lifesaver and other pubs under age to see Cold chisel midnight oil and many other bands. I was spoilt for choice.
You are in for a TREAT!!! Jimmy is Australian Royality!!.....Check out a younger Jimmy with Tina Turner!! " Simply the Best", or jimmy with John Farnham (legend Too) When something is wrong with my baby" live is best!! Then you can do John "Help" or Your the Voice" ohhhhh this is great!!!
Then when you get done with those, check out cold chisel. Cold chisel was the band Jimmy sang with before he went solo. Lead guitarist of that band (Ian Moss) is also aussie rock royalty. Unfortunately their original drummer (Steve Prestwich) passed away from cancer a few years ago.
Jimmy's basically got a 50-year back catalogue, both solo and as one of two lead vocalists in Cold Chisel. He's the biggest selling artist in Australia ever. The question is where to start? Maybe with Wild Thing with Cold Chisel live at their Last Stand concerts in the early 1980s? It's Jimmy, young and wild and definitely not sober... It's got to be one of the best live performances in rock ever. I will say, with both Jimmy and Chisel, generally live is best.
Best product of Jimmy Barnes? a daughter, Mahalia Barnes. She is one of Joe Bonamassa's back- up singers who shares a lead with Joe on "Riding With the Kings" and solo (with The Soul Mates) on "Nasty Girl"***. Peace, love and bellbottoms from Canada.
Mahalia’s last name is Jackson. Jimmy also has a son David Campbell. David is an actor, tv presenter and singer. David and Jimmy have done a few duets together, they sound awesome. My uncle was a roadie for Cold Chisel back in the seventies.
I love watching people discover Jimmy. 5 decades of belting out great tunes. One of the best rock performers ever. I saw his Soul Deep tour in 2022 and he did not take a break for 3 hours (well he did a half song break whilst his daughter sang a song but he came back on half way through and sang back up for her, which shows how much he loves performing. One of Jimmy's biggest solo songs is Working Class Man but i think you need to see him with his original band, Cold Chisel. One of the most loved bands in Australian history. I think you need to see their performance of Wild Thing live from their Last Stand concerts...it is something else.
Never heard of Jimmy Barnes nor Joe Bonamassa, but HOLY COW!!! Your reaction is priceless. I thought you were going to throw your shoe before you started playing air guitar with it, lol
Jimmy is a Australian legend, you should listen to him sing “Nothing is wrong with my baby” with another aussie legend called John Farnham Jimmy was in legendary band cold chisel and they have heaps of good songs. Cold chisel are thought to be best Australian band ever by Australians ever better than other aussie bands such as AC/DC and INXS Jimmy also does duets with Tina Turner (simply the best) and INXS (goodtimes) Some of cold chisel songs include Bow river Wild thing (cover) When the war is over Forever now Cheap wine Flame trees Saturday night Choir girl Khe sahn You’ve got nothing I want (written as a f*ck you to the US music executives who wanted them to change thru said no and came home and wrote song) Jimmy also has had solo career Change gonna come Working class man When a man loves a woman (cover) Knocking on heavens door (sung at memorial concert) Jimmy also has heaps more songs as..
Grew up listening to Barnsey. He comes from my home town. Remember seeing him in the 80’s. So many great songs, Working class man, Too Much Ain’t enough love, No Second Prize,Ride the night away and many more already listed.
❤❤ Jimmy Barnes, born to a poor Glaswegian family. Immigrated to South Australia, to a satellite "city" called Elizabeth. Mainly catering cheap, weather -board housing to British, German and Italian immigrants. Jimmy was one of them! Life of struggle,❤❤
I think it's funny when people assume coz he's white he doesnt know soul, he toured with Aretha Franklin back in the day, I'm 45 and Jimmy been doin this longer than i've been alive. The amount of songs people know but don't know it was him is astounding. Love the reaction and definately love Jimmy Barnes. Also check out anything from him and John Farnham. 2 of the greatest voices you will ever hear.
Oh our beloved Barnsey....Australian Royalty. Check him out with his band Cold Chisel and any number of his solo songs. This fine man is a living legend !!!
Welcome aboard the Jimmy train. He’s my favourite artist. I always need more! As for what else he’s done, apart from being the lead singer of a brilliant band called, Cold Chisel, he’s sung with Tina Turner (Simply the Best), Joe Cocker (Guilty), Sam Moore with Soothe Me, and with INXS Good Times (on the soundtrack of The Lost Boys…. But you can hear him sing twice in that movie if you know his voice). His favourite sound is rock, but he sings soul, blues, reggae and more…. He is so highly regarded in Australia. And Joe sings with Jimmy’s daughter Mahalia too, with Nasty Girl and Riding with the Kings.
Jimmy Barnes is an Australian rock legend. You should really have a look at Jimmy and John Farnham (another Aussie) singing When Something is Wrong with my Baby. It is absolutely amazing.
Oh you have opened pandoras box now. With all these reactors discovering Jimmy I realise how lucky I am to have grown up with all this Aussie music and had it in my playlist for 40 years! You have SO much Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel you can react to. You need to start with Bow River Live 2003 in the round with Jimmy And Ian Moss (Cold Chisel) and When Something IS Wrong With my Baby (with John Farnham)
the song Flame Trees is about Ian Moss's hometown of Grafton in NSW, the video was shot there and refers to the jacaranda trees that line the streets, 1 of their best ballads I reckon
Carolyn if you want to see him blow you away you should see him with his band cold chisel (thought to be best band from Australia even ahead of INXS and AC/DC) Or his solo career and duets with Tina Turner,INXS and another aussie legend John Farnham (John Farnham was voted best singer from Australia by other musicians) Jimmy and John are GODS in Australia 🇦🇺
The song was written by Don Walker about his daughter after he had dropped her off at school. On the drive home which was about 30mins he had wrote it and asked Jimmy to sing it Walker and Jimmy were in cold chisel
❤ Thank You for Reacting to this Jimmy Barnes is My Hero I have Been Listening to Him Solo and Him in My Favourite Aussie Rock Band Cold Chisel for 31yrs and He is also A Legend of Australian Rock He Has Just Had his 3rd Lot of Heart Surgery But Nothing can Stop Him!!

Mate.... you don't know what you've just got yourself into. The amount of requests you are going to get from other Aussie artists will blow your mind. Looking forward to this journey with you 🇦🇺
There is so much content from Jimmy, both from his original band called Cold Chisel to his solo works and just like this there is countless recordings of him joining other legends around the world and singing with them. His whole family is rediculously talented. He has a massive range from a thunderingly powerful voice to the most gentle mousy croons. His strong Scottish/Aussie accent shines through in the best way. One of his live shows for cable, he sung with several people, but the song he sung with the gorgeous Marcia Hines, the song Fire and Rain. It is stunning and so gentle it shows his lowest and softest range perfectly. And his rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone which he sung with his adult son David Campbell is heart warming.
Yes yes. Love it all. I love Barnseys recent songs, like this one, too. Soothe me with Sam Moore, lazy with Joe Bonamassa, Do you love me, with Josh Teskey. He can do anything. Oh, when something is wrong with my baby with John Farnham, the Hey hey it's Saturday version.
Jimmy Barnes is with an old Aussie band called Cold Chisel the guitarist is Ian Moss( mossy to us who'san awesome player) now they have some really good songs should have look been around since the 70's Ray from Australia they are rock royalty here
Thanks for your reaction…loved the expressions on your face first up…💞👏👏👏😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Jimmy has just had his second heart op…at Christmas..coming along wonderful now…But I’ve been listening to Cold Chisel (Jimmy) since forever …👏👏👏🥴💞💞💞💞🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Jimmy Barnes was a lead singer in the band Cold Chisel before they broke up and Jimmy went on a solo career. Many of the best Jimmy Barnes songs are mixed in with the Cold Chisel catalog: Breakfast at Sweethearts Saturday Night Choir Girl Working Class Man Flame Trees Good Times Mustang Sally (Jimmy Barnes covering the classic)
There’s no bad choice when it comes to Jimmy, but if you want to know why you’ve never heard of this legend check out the song You Got Nothing I Want, I like the studio version the best
Barnes has achieved 15 solo number-one albums in Australia, more than any other artist. Additionally, Barnes achieved five more as the lead singer of Cold Chisel, bringing his combined sum to 20 number-one albums in Australia,. Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham and Cold Chisel reactions should be live as their performances are a show in themselves. The drummer is Jimmy's son Jackie, you don't see them, his daughters are singing backup. 5 of his children are in the music industry as well as a son inlaw and brother inlaw ( Jonny Diesel).His daughter Mahalia has toured with Joe Bonamassa as a backup singer.
Fun fact - Jimmy Barnes had to turn down Eddie Van Halen’s offer for him to replace David Lee Roth in Van Halen, because Jimmy had himself just started his solo career after splitting from Cold Chisel. Eddie sought him out and went to visit him personally to make the pitch. Jimmy had no choice but to refuse the offer, and so EVH went and got Sammy Hagar instead.
my adult children don't understand why I reckon modern singers are plastic fantastic including how they stand or how they hold a microphone (or don't).. this is how I expect a singer to sing and a band to play.. i'm a product of the eighties.. singing it with heart and feeling it to the core.
Try the official release of Khe Samh by Jimmy and Cold Chisel, the return story of a Vienam vet to Australia. Incredible lyrics, it's an alternate national anthem. Written by Chisel keyboard player Don Walker, a great writer who never wastes a word. Good reaction mate!! Cheers
Jimmy started his career in a band called Cold Chisel. then went solo and has also teamed up with some other great artists. His children he had with his wife also had a band for a small time called the tin lids. He is an Australian legend in our music industry.
I first saw Jimmy Barnes live in 1986 during his Working Class man tour and I saw him again last year during his Soul Deep tour. He was mind blowing as a young man and just as amazing even now he’s in his 60’s. You have to check out some of his 80’s songs, both with Cold Chisel and from his solo albums. Maybe Working Class Man or Die To Be With You Tonight would be a good starting point. Thanks for the reaction to a compete legend!
Jimmy an his tin lids rocks out. The only man whom no lie sounds as strong an gracefully on recording to live ,to be in a. Room less than a 100 Peps this man is the greatest
That voice .. been hearing it all my life everywhere I go in Australia. Home TV and radio and car radio, cassettes, cds and shops and cafes and pub jukeboxes. Everywhere - in my DNA.
Jimmy Barnes started as a 17-year-old front man for Australian band Cold Chisel in 1973 very famous in Australia. Cold Chisel, Jimmy's band is legendary, Check out Jimmy way back in 1985 with one of his signature songs Working Class Man ruclips.net/video/t3TPmPOrDEk/видео.htmlsi=v4zlJ5dsXrmJNiUV . PS that is Jimmy's son Jack Barnes on the drums
'Khe Sanh', along with 'Working Class Man', also mentioned before, is Jimmy and John Farnham's. 'When Something Wrong With My Baby'. Always listen to these guys live, that's when they're at their best. If you want to jump down another Aussie rabbit hole, there's John Farnham. Please listen to 'Youre The Voice' live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchesta 🇦🇺🦘
Great reaction. You ain't seen nothing yet though!!! l😂😂😂This is Jimmy mid way through his career. Check out a younger Jimmy with his band Cold Chisel performing Wild Thing live at the Last Stand Concert Then one of his bugger hits as a solo artist called Working Class Man And awesome duet with another Aussie Legend John Farnham performing When Something is Wrong with my Baby And something fromnjust last year a duet with American music Legend Sam Moore. Called Soothe Me Jimmy is full on Rock King with smooth Blues vibes 💙
That is Jimmy’s son on drums too. I’d recommend Cold Chisel’s live rendition of Wild Thing during their “Last Stand” tour in the early 80s. His voice blasting away was incredible. He could also do brilliant softer harmonies.
You have to go down the Jimmy Barnes rabbit hole, especially his work as lead singer with Cold Chisel, one of Australia's top 3 rock bands of all time. From their 2003 Ringside tour: Bow River When the War Is Over From their 1983 "Last Stand" tour (Sydney Concert) Cover of Wild Thing - if there was ever an embodiment of the wild thing it is Jimmy singing this! Ian Moss (lead guitar and vocals) cover of "Georgia On My Mind" Any videos you can find for these: Khe Sahn Flame Trees Saturday Night You've Got Nothing I Want
Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham. “When Something Is Wrong with My Baby”. Live version from the tv show “Hey Hey it’s Saturday” Then John Farnham’s cover of the Beatles song “Help” live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Then Jimmy’s daughter Mahalia, also with Joe Bonamassa singing “Riding With the Kings”. Mahalia can WAIL.
Check out his duet with the late great great Michael Hutchence singing *Good Times". It shows a young Jimmie and Michael at the height of their powers .
Having grown up with Jimmy Barnes had forgotten how good he was. Thanks for reminding me. Check out Annie CRUMMER from New Zealand, especially the song For Today with the Netherworld Dancing Toys , you might enjoy. she's got pipes. Cheers
Jimmy’s a legend in Aus along with John Farnham ✊🏾💪🏾 You gotta check out John Farnham’s live show in Melbourne singing the old Beatles song “Help” with the Melbourne symphony orchestra that song just keeps giving me chills every time I hear it, in Australia John is called the “Voice” and you will know why when you hear him sing that song 🌹💞🤗🥰
Jimmy /Cold Chisel were a regular at my local Pub/nightclub back in the Mid 70's, Great Band, Jimmy (as others have said) if not drunk at the beginning of the night, certainly was by the end, often getting down in the crowd ( with his mic on the 50ft lead) if you were under age and couldn't get into the pub (ie not yet 18) didn't matter, you could always hear them from the car park out back.
I was at a Jimmy Barnes concert in my 20’s (now60). His band was Cold Chisel and they smashed the house down. Barnsey downed 3 bottles of Vodka and his brother John Swan 🦢 had to finish the concert . Barnsey is a god dam Legend here in Australia 🇦🇺. There is so much phenomenal home grown Talent you should review from down under.
You are in for such a treat! I have just entered the 45th year of my love affair with that voice. Start with Cold Chisel, there are so many amazing songs, a few faves, Flame Trees, Four Walls, Still on Your Side, Cheap Wine, Khe San, One Long Day, Rosalie, so you will get a taste of Ian Moss's voice too which is right up there. Have fun.
Growing up in Adelaide, Australia, I have heard so many amazing stories of Jimmy Barns and cold chisel playing the pubs. He's a true rock star his life stories is a must watch
Jimmy Barnes & John Farnham - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby ruclips.net/video/Eodve5uGr9g/видео.htmlsi=ItufdGRtS31R4qQT
Great song.
Try " I'd Rather Be Blind" by Jimmy Barnes ❤great son broz
I was thinking the same thing "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" Jimmy Barnes & John Farnham with Johnny Diesel on guitar, an absolute classic.
One of my favourites I came to say the same thing 😊
Barnesy has a multi-talented family including brother in law Johnny Diesel who plays a mean guitar and sang in a trio with Jimmy and John back in the 90’s and played lead guitar in the above song.

Bruh....I'm a born and raised texan and I jumped down the "barnsey" rabbit hole last month, havn't been able to get enough or him and John farnham!
You must appreciate great music. His like all truely great music music is timeless.
That means you've miss decades and decades of this gorgeous man. Even people who aren't or weren't big fans remember they really are really big. He's just gorgeous.

His strong Scottish/Aussie accent shines through in the best way.
One of his live shows for cable, he sung with several people, but the song he sung with the gorgeous Marcia Hines, the song Fire and Rain. It is stunning and so gentle it shows his lowest and softest range perfectly.
And his rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone which he sung with his adult son David Campbell is heart warming.
I am Australian and very proud of our singers we have some of the best in the world thanks mate for this.
Yes yes. Love it all. I love Barnseys recent songs, like this one, too. Soothe me with Sam Moore, lazy with Joe Bonamassa, Do you love me, with Josh Teskey. He can do anything. Oh, when something is wrong with my baby with John Farnham, the Hey hey it's Saturday version.
You need to check out Jimmy Barnes with his band Cold Chisel. Check out “bow river” and “when the war is over” live Ringside 2003

Jimmy Barnes was a lead singer in the band Cold Chisel before they broke up and Jimmy went on a solo career. Many of the best Jimmy Barnes songs are mixed in with the Cold Chisel catalog:
Breakfast at Sweethearts
Saturday Night
Choir Girl
Working Class Man
Flame Trees
Good Times
Mustang Sally (Jimmy Barnes covering the classic)
There’s no bad choice when it comes to Jimmy, but if you want to know why you’ve never heard of this legend check out the song You Got Nothing I Want, I like the studio version the best
Barnes has achieved 15 solo number-one albums in Australia, more than any other artist. Additionally, Barnes achieved five more as the lead singer of Cold Chisel, bringing his combined sum to 20 number-one albums in Australia,. Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham and Cold Chisel reactions should be live as their performances are a show in themselves. The drummer is Jimmy's son Jackie, you don't see them, his daughters are singing backup. 5 of his children are in the music industry as well as a son inlaw and brother inlaw ( Jonny Diesel).His daughter Mahalia has toured with Joe Bonamassa as a backup singer.
First time ever seen him play without his shades; WOW!!!
Please please do "something is wrong with my baby" live with John farnham p🙏 ❤
Fun fact - Jimmy Barnes had to turn down Eddie Van Halen’s offer for him to replace David Lee Roth in Van Halen, because Jimmy had himself just started his solo career after splitting from Cold Chisel.
Eddie sought him out and went to visit him personally to make the pitch. Jimmy had no choice but to refuse the offer, and so EVH went and got Sammy Hagar instead.
Cool info - I never knew that.
my adult children don't understand why I reckon modern singers are plastic fantastic including how they stand or how they hold a microphone (or don't).. this is how I expect a singer to sing and a band to play.. i'm a product of the eighties.. singing it with heart and feeling it to the core.
100% agree mate
Try the official release of Khe Samh by Jimmy and Cold Chisel, the return story of a Vienam vet to Australia. Incredible lyrics, it's an alternate national anthem. Written by Chisel keyboard player Don Walker, a great writer who never wastes a word. Good reaction mate!! Cheers
Jimmy started his career in a band called Cold Chisel. then went solo and has also teamed up with some other great artists. His children he had with his wife also had a band for a small time called the tin lids. He is an Australian legend in our music industry.
Yep we love our Jimmy. The best and meanest voice!🎉🎉Australia
I first saw Jimmy Barnes live in 1986 during his Working Class man tour and I saw him again last year during his Soul Deep tour. He was mind blowing as a young man and just as amazing even now he’s in his 60’s. You have to check out some of his 80’s songs, both with Cold Chisel and from his solo albums. Maybe Working Class Man or Die To Be With You Tonight would be a good starting point. Thanks for the reaction to a compete legend!
Another Aussie to check out is Tommy Emanuel with classical gas
Tommy's song , initation is a brilliant tune as well ,his most recent version.
Jimmy an his tin lids rocks out. The only man whom no lie sounds as strong an gracefully on recording to live ,to be in a. Room less than a 100 Peps this man is the greatest
He is incredible!!! I could listen to him and John Farnham all day!!!
Now you need to hear his daughter Mahalia singing Riding with the Kings! Sublime!
That voice .. been hearing it all my life everywhere I go in Australia. Home TV and radio and car radio, cassettes, cds and shops and cafes and pub jukeboxes. Everywhere - in my DNA.
Jimmy Barnes started as a 17-year-old front man for Australian band Cold Chisel in 1973 very famous in Australia. Cold Chisel, Jimmy's band is legendary, Check out Jimmy way back in 1985 with one of his signature songs Working Class Man ruclips.net/video/t3TPmPOrDEk/видео.htmlsi=v4zlJ5dsXrmJNiUV . PS that is Jimmy's son Jack Barnes on the drums
Jimmy Barnes is a true legend. Hi from South Australia, Jimmy was raised here in Adelaide ( Elizabeth South )
West
This song was written by the Keyboard player for Cold Chisel, Mr Don Walker
'Khe Sanh', along with 'Working Class Man', also mentioned before, is Jimmy and John Farnham's. 'When Something Wrong With My Baby'. Always listen to these guys live, that's when they're at their best. If you want to jump down another Aussie rabbit hole, there's John Farnham. Please listen to 'Youre The Voice' live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchesta 🇦🇺🦘
Great reaction. You ain't seen nothing yet though!!! l😂😂😂This is Jimmy mid way through his career.
Check out a younger Jimmy with his band Cold Chisel performing Wild Thing live at the Last Stand Concert
Then one of his bugger hits as a solo artist called Working Class Man
And awesome duet with another Aussie Legend John Farnham performing When Something is Wrong with my Baby
And something fromnjust last year a duet with American music Legend Sam Moore. Called Soothe Me
Jimmy is full on Rock King with smooth Blues vibes 💙
That is Jimmy’s son on drums too. I’d recommend Cold Chisel’s live rendition of Wild Thing during their “Last Stand” tour in the early 80s. His voice blasting away was incredible. He could also do brilliant softer harmonies.
You have to go down the Jimmy Barnes rabbit hole, especially his work as lead singer with Cold Chisel, one of Australia's top 3 rock bands of all time.
From their 2003 Ringside tour:
Bow River
When the War Is Over
From their 1983 "Last Stand" tour (Sydney Concert)
Cover of Wild Thing - if there was ever an embodiment of the wild thing it is Jimmy singing this!
Ian Moss (lead guitar and vocals) cover of "Georgia On My Mind"
Any videos you can find for these:
Khe Sahn
Flame Trees
Saturday Night
You've Got Nothing I Want
A perfect Guitar Player, a Singer with a cool Rock Voice, this is Rock at the FINEST!
Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham. “When Something Is Wrong with My Baby”. Live version from the tv show “Hey Hey it’s Saturday”
Then John Farnham’s cover of the Beatles song “Help” live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Then Jimmy’s daughter Mahalia, also with Joe Bonamassa singing “Riding With the Kings”. Mahalia can WAIL.
I love "Lay down your guns" by Jimmy. But he has so much music. Glad you found him.
Check out his duet with the late great great Michael Hutchence singing *Good Times". It shows a young Jimmie and Michael at the height of their powers .
Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel are Aussie LEGENDS - Do yourself a favour 👂💜🇦🇺
Depends what decade you want to hear him from 🤔
The choices are.....the 70's till last year!...& again soon! 👍❤️
Having grown up with Jimmy Barnes had forgotten how good he was. Thanks for reminding me. Check out Annie CRUMMER from New Zealand, especially the song For Today with the Netherworld Dancing Toys , you might enjoy. she's got pipes. Cheers
Jimmy’s a legend in Aus along with John Farnham ✊🏾💪🏾
You gotta check out John Farnham’s live show in Melbourne singing the old Beatles song “Help” with the Melbourne symphony orchestra that song just keeps giving me chills every time I hear it, in Australia John is called the “Voice” and you will know why when you hear him sing that song 🌹💞🤗🥰
Jimmy /Cold Chisel were a regular at my local Pub/nightclub back in the Mid 70's, Great Band, Jimmy (as others have said) if not drunk at the beginning of the night, certainly was by the end, often getting down in the crowd ( with his mic on the 50ft lead) if you were under age and couldn't get into the pub (ie not yet 18) didn't matter, you could always hear them from the car park out back.
I was at a Jimmy Barnes concert in my 20’s (now60). His band was Cold Chisel and they smashed the house down. Barnsey downed 3 bottles of Vodka and his brother John Swan 🦢 had to finish the concert . Barnsey is a god dam Legend here in Australia 🇦🇺. There is so much phenomenal home grown Talent you should review from down under.
‘Gonna have a good time tonight’ Jimmy and Michael Hutchins
Love the batman crocs!
That time out note is FAAARK all what he did with his voice in the 80s and 90s 👍👍👍👍
Jimmy been singing over 50 years. Cold Chizel formed Adelaide Australia 1973. Jimmy is one of Australias best exports. Voice unique.
Thank you! Love me some Jimmy. His Cold Chisel eta was very good with epic ones such as Khe San, Working Class Man, Plane Trees.
You are in for such a treat! I have just entered the 45th year of my love affair with that voice. Start with Cold Chisel, there are so many amazing songs, a few faves, Flame Trees, Four Walls, Still on Your Side, Cheap Wine, Khe San, One Long Day, Rosalie, so you will get a taste of Ian Moss's voice too which is right up there. Have fun.
Booooom !! .. shaka lakka .. 🎩
Wow that was awesome!!!!
Growing up in Adelaide, Australia, I have heard so many amazing stories of Jimmy Barns and cold chisel playing the pubs. He's a true rock star his life stories is a must watch
Great match...great reactor...great performance.
