Farnsey and Barnsey with a big splash of Diesel equals perfection 🤣
hear hear!
You’ve got it right, John is not only the GOAT, he’s one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He can sing anything. The more you see him sing the more you’ll be blown away. Check out Long Way to the top with the MSO (Melbourne Symphony Orchestra). Farnsey and Barnsey are Aussie legends. Jimmy and his talented family kept churning out music during Covid, keeping us all positive. Diesel is Jimmy’s brother-in-law and also a great talent, a fantastic guitarist and singer in his own right. Great reaction, thanks.
Playing To Win is mind blowing too
thanks for chiming in! adding Long Way To The Top to the list!
@@OutOnThatLine some more to consider, his cover of Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (he uses it as a sound check in his concerts), Burn For You, That's Freedom, One (1969), Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head (1970) all don't seem to get as much recognition as they deserve. You always have to watch his live performances over music video's as he brings it every time.
Back in the 60s/early 70s it was rare for artists to have world tours due to the cost. So it was common for local artists to perform international hits. He also has a cover of Toto - Hold the Line.
The man is an Aussie living legend!
@@tiny.bronco Good suggestion, Black Dog is insane😁
@@tiny.bronco Yes, you have suggested some great songs for reactions! I commented on a different upload, that I hope they find John's 'warm up' song and review it!! I didn't give the song away on my comment though lol
The reason the world does not know about John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes is because they are from another reality. A reality that just merged with ours.
i want to live in their reality full time.
John is one of the nicest guys around. He appreciates his fellow artists and musicians. And one of the greatest singers in the world. He has said that he wanted to stay in Australia with his family despite receiving a lot of pressure to go to America. He is so loved here in Australia.
It's our loss over here in the U.S., but you've gotta appreciate a family man!
And Jimmy Barnes with Cold Chisel went to the USA and came up against the recording industry which wanted to change everything about them to be more "acceptable"...Jimmy cam home and wrote You got nothing I want in response. Also check out Bow River & When the War is Over by Cold Chisel featuring Ian Moss the other singer beside Jimmy Barnes And Flame Trees, Khe Sanh & any others. & anything by John especially from the concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Great reaction. Speedy recovery John🙏
We were SO spoiled and SO grateful for it !!! ... wondered what the rest of the world was doing ... what was wrong with you !!? ... sorry you missed seeing such a lot of our singers and bands live !! ... once again ! ... we were SPOILED ! ... AND LOVED IT !!!! .... THANK YOU FARNSY AND BARNSY !!! .... and all the other wonderful entertainers we have been lucky enough to love !!!!
The record execs in the US, couldn't find one genre to fit Farnsey into, he can sing anything. Jimmy was messed around by them, he came home and wrote, "You've got nothing I Want," they both came home and spent more time with their wives and family. We didn't miss out, you guys did.
100%
we absolutely missed out, no doubt. but i'm glad the fellas got to watch their families grow instead of farting around with all the US record industry BS.
You have to listen twice…to separate their harmonies. So, so very good 👏👏👏👏👏
i can't stop watching--and listening to the album version on Spotify.
The power combined when the two of them sing together is phenomenal. We are spoilt to have 3 great artists together doing their thing Farnsey, Barnsey and Diesel. Barnsey tried to make it in your country with his band Cold Chisel but they were rejected by your record producers, so Cold Chisel actually did a song about it. Check out John Farnham “angels” live in 2000 and you will see his funny side and personality even more
I was told Cold Chisel is another group I need to investigate! I'll add them--and "angels" to the list.
I love it when anyone uses their song to try to out sing John in any genre. Not going to happen and I do love this song. John is that sweet guy that feels like everyone’s brother or son. I have seen him late for a plane but stop to talk to someone who spoke to him. He has never been anyone but who you see and the people he loves mean just as much to us. Maybe you never saw or heard of John because no one in Australia or America would sign John. His best friend and manager, Glenn got his new album out there with everything he owned mortgaged and we demanded the radio stations played it. Glenn changed Australian radio and music.
We heard last night that John’s mouth surgery for cancer that took 12 hours to get out and rebuild his jaw is going so well he has been sent to a Rehab Hospital. You are loved John Farnham.
much love to Farnsey, and wishes for a speedy recovery. y'all are lucky to have a national treasure such as him!
Johnny and Jimmy and then add Diesel, perfect. Diesel is a fabulous artist - worth checking out.
Diesel is the guitarist?
@@OutOnThatLine yes Deisel is the Guitarist. His band is called Johnny Deisel and the Injectors. Check out Cry in Shame.
@@OutOnThatLine Diesel is an awesome artist in his own right. He also happens to be Jimmy's brother in law. You'll notice he plays guitar and often sings in many of Jimmy's solo tracks.
@@OutOnThatLine yes, and he is also Jimmy's brother in law .
If Dopamine, is your thing then Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa doing “Stone Cold” is another level. Yes Jimmy 35 years on just killing it.
added to the list!
It’s like when you play tennis with a player that’s better than you- it brings out your best! This was fire! Thanks for replying to my message by the way, I’ve sent you a link to the best version. Can’t wait to see you explore more from our boys! Thanks again from all us Aussies to you! ❤️
YES, the tennis analogy really drives the point home. As a performer, I know what it's like to have that special give and take with someone. It's just incredible watching these titans show me how it's done. they're on another level.
The only version better than this is when I saw them perform it live at Shellharbour Worker's Club standing 3m from the stage.
We are a long way from you guys and you have your own thousands of talented artists to discover....
For some more Jimmy Barnes, check him out with Joe Bonamassa, singing "Stone Cold", or their cover of Deep Purple's "Lazy". Jimmy's daughter Mahalia sings backup vocals with Joe Bonamassa, and Jimmy's son plays drums on "Stone Cold".
awesome! added to the list.
Barnsey, Farnsey and Diesel all together on one stage. Aussie legends. Speedy recovery John🙏
John is one of the nicest guys on the planet. He is all about making sure he gives his all, everything is timed perfectly and all he wants is for it to be the best experience you've ever had listening to him.
How amazing are these two adored Aussie legends 💕💕
Yes Farnsie & Barnsie MAGIC! John IS the most genuine down to earth nice guy. {All our love and good wishes sent to him and his family at this very challenging time as he faces months of recovery from major surgery}
Glad to see you enjoying the performance
You don't get any better than that in Australia. Jimmy is Aussie Rock Royalty and John is just plain Royalty. Jimmy has led a troubled life and John is everyone's favourite boy next door. But they are both great talents and much loved by us Aussies. And when they get together it's 🔥 soul overload
Jimmy is still performing and his voice is even better with age and John was, until covid hit and could still hit all those high notes even in his 70's. Sadly John has just undergone major cancer surgery and will probably never perform live again, and we are behind him, wishing him a speedy recovery ❤️
Check out Farnsey Playing to Win.
m.ruclips.net/video/aaeKsidYfVk/видео.html
And Stone Cold for Barnsey with Joe
Bonamassa m.ruclips.net/video/D99LZg18OWg/видео.html
thank you for these. and love to Farnsey as he recovers.
Jimmy Barnes is Australian Rock Royalty first with his band Cold Chisel then a solo career that is still going check out Jimmy Barnes and Joe Barramossa STONE COLD
Joe Bonamassa
i'm on it!
Foreign singers don't get a fair treatment by the music dominated American companies. It is too locally focused so Americans miss out on hearing a lot of great talent from around the world.
we truly have missed out. it's a damn shame. making up for lost time now!!
Great reaction! How can anyone not be impressed by these enormously talented guys! I agree with you just like butter!
🧈 smooth as all get out. thanks for watching!
That. Ending is biblical ❤
Sitting here grinning like a fool lol 😁 That was a fantastic reaction. Yes we have some of the best singers/entertainers in the world here in The Great Southern Land called Australia. Our country is an island continent too. It's a 21 hour flight to your neck of the woods lol. John has toured a few European countries like Germany etc. And he was lead singer for a few years with Australia's Little River Band which toured a lot in the USA...but John missed family and friends back home and returned to us...and we just love the fact he's our own Aussie legend... Again loved your reaction and kind words...💖
thanks so much! and thanks for helping Geoff & me journey down the Australian music rabbit hole
I would just like to congratulate you on diving head first into correctly calling them barnesy and farnsy. These two guys were so omnipresent while growing up (for me) that I pretty much just ended up taking them for granted. Couldn’t turn a radio on without hearing ‘Pressure Down’ or ‘Forever Now’.
Anyway, would have loved to hear John rip out ‘Danger Zone’, I reckon he’d do it justice, after all, he sang ‘Break the Ice’ on the soundtrack to RAD and honestly it doesn’t get much more quintessential 80s than that.
welp, now ya got me dreaming of Farnsey covering Kenny Loggins!
Everyone has that wide eye reaction to Farnsey lol😅
Thanks for reacting to this one. Two of Aussie's best vocalists.
Take a listen to another Aussie band called Taxi Ride. You'll be blown away by the harmonies and the arrangements.
Added! love to see a new group added to the mix.
@@OutOnThatLine Awesome!!!
Yeah, these guys were hot back in the 90s. I watched them live in Darwin in 2018, they opened for John Farnham. Though they still play around a bit, they haven't done a new album for decades. But I still have them on my regular play list. Love their music.
Glad to know you'll be reacting to them. I'll be watching.
Great reaction once again !!! Your spot on about them both, and Diesel is a wonder in his own right👍 Keep em coming Wooohoo👍
Another great reaction! Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
Arnt they just insane!!! Thankyou
Chose the best performance there
everybody said to make sure it was the hey hey version--and as usual, y'all didn't steer me wrong.
Keep doing John Farnham & other Australian artists & I'll be here :)
Great comments, these three are all Aussie icons and all great guys
Cold Chisel, the band Jimmy was in, did not have a good experience with the music industry when they went to the USA. They wrote a song, 'You've Got Nothing I Want' about that. John Farnham did tour overseas but he missed his wife and family too much, so decided to just stay in Oz. He co-wrote the song, 'Burn For You' about that experience. John is the 'good' guy of the two. He's humble, appreciative, reliable, helps charities and is a lovely, and loved man. Jimmy was the 'bad' boy due to alcohol and other drug-taking and therefore played up and was unreliable. His children did an intervention on him and his wife and that shook them up enough to turn their lives around to a better outcome. There is one song video where Farnsey starts off singing on stage and he's looking around hoping that Barnsey will come out on stage when he is supposed to. The third musician in this trio is Diesel who has his own band with great music. He is partnered to the sister of Jimmy's wife. Australia has loads of fantastic talent for you to be introduced to. Regarding your comment about not hearing Oz music, I think that the USA did not take Australia's music seriously. One example is a song by the incredible Vanessa Amorosi singing, (live on YT video) 'Have A Look'. It is a sensational song and performance by her, yet only got to No. 76 on the top one hundred playlist in the USA. It's great that you want to 'keep it real' for we viewers. Thankyou.
thank you so much for this. i really appreciate the insight, and the song suggestions. loving this deep dive!
There is nothing like 80s Aussie pub rock. Cold Chisel, Midnight Oils, The Angels, Australian Crawl. Artists like Ian Moss, John Farnham. We were spoilt for great acts.
John definitely IS the nicest dude ever. Barnsey is a whole other rabbit hole. He used to be in a band called Cold Chisel in the 70s and had a huge solo career. Chisel tried to break into the US but they were treated like crap. Jimmy wrote "You got nothing I want" as a result which was a huge hit. His "Soul Deep" album as a solo artist is superb. They sing a few other things together. Farnsy has also sung with Queen, Ton Jones, Celine Dion. Ray Charles just to name a few. If you want some comedy, there's "Granada" with Anthony Warlow, "Angels" with Lisa Edwards. His cover of "Long Way to the Top" (ACDC) with the MSO is pure party. Cant wait to see you react to his sound check recording of "Black Dog". Diesel is Jimmy's brother-n-law and a great singer and guitarist in his own right. Keep 'em coming! Get well Farnsy! 💕
excellent bits here! adding all the songs to my list.
John, Jimmy and
Olivia (RIP)...salt of the Earth great human beings
It doesen't get so much better than this
I think ya bang on the money about Farnsey..very talented with voice and then with entertainer skill,never was my genre but always enjoyed Farnseys performances
😊 they are the best of mates
Check out Jimmy Barnes singing Stone Cold.
i'm on it!
OMG I love your reaction to this song. Aren't they just like glorious to the ears. I'm Soooo happy you've gotten to listen to more. If you haven't yet listened to this live song by John Farnham and Lisa Edwards called, lifted up by Angels. You will see John being delightfully funny, it will give you a little insight into him relaxed and just enjoying the moment, plus it's a incredible song to listen to. I'm definitely a new subscriber and really love your passion for music and your channel. Much love from Queensland Australia 🦘💜
I am so glad you have become addicted to Farnsey. Now you need to listen to the live version of Amazing Grace with John, Vanetta & Lindsey - it will blow you away!
🤯 adding it to my list!!
Love the reaction
thanks!
There's a lot of Aussie music and bands that should have have become globally huge. There was/is a problem with record companies
i'm just happy to be exposed to them now! and probably for the best that it's in my 30s, so i can really appreciate them.
John toured the States as lead singer of LRB in the early 80’s. You will find some of that material on YT too. ❤️🇦🇺❤️
Don't forget the guitarist joining in at the end. That's Johnny Diesel, a recording artist in his own right, usually performing as just "Diesel". Check out his song "Right on the tip of my tongue". He also happens to be Jimmy's brother-in-law.
You haven't started. Jimmy. Barnes with Cold Chisel, "Bow River" live, 28th December, 2006 version, and THAT is a party! Delta Goodrem and Gurrumul, live the Voice, "Bayini", the blonde goddess and the little blind Aboriginal together. Then, Delta again,, live the Voice, "Wings". Also, Delta, one of THE great videos, "Believe Again". Baby Animals , "Backbone", live 1993, also "Early Warning" and "One Word". Vanessa Amarosi and Dave Stewart "Natural Woman" soul. How about something completely different? An early filmed drug soaked jam that was probably the world's first heavy music, around 1968(?). Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, "Mama live on GTK". The world's best guitar player, Tommy Emmanuel, "Classical Gas" and "Initiation". Giving you an even broader spread, Tash Sultana, "Jungle, bedroom concert" She has a huge world wide niche audience of music lovers. A genius. Pure genius. Plays 20 instruments, her "Blackbird 7 layer sessions" on 12 string is beyond music. Also current, Teskey Brothers, "Hold Me live at the Forum", that is a concert with a difference, a twist. Also "Rain, colours" Try INXS ""Never Tear Us Apart", there's a few years worth of listening to come.....
brilliant!!! this is a gold mine. thank you for these!!
Isn't it great when there are no egos involved. !
Hi
New to your channel so not sure if you have done any Vanessa Amarosi reactions. She is another phenomenal talent with a powerhouse voice. Worth checking out her live version of Natural born woman with Dave Stewart from( Eurythmics)
She will blow you away. So fortunate to have grown up in the era of Jimmy, John Farnham and diesel. Australia has so many phenomenal singers that the rest of the world has missed out on
Enjoy the trip down the rabbit hole of Australian singers/ music
singers in the USA Known all about them
Good bumps.
Every.single.time.
If it hasn't already been mentioned. Back in the day when Hey Hey was at it's peak. All the bands they had on were expected to sing live. Some of the 'artist' didn't/wouldn't sing live. Then one night John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes come on the show & not only sing what could be considered a perfect song. As you saw, at the end they dropped the music & kept the vocals going just to prove a point...... Probably scared off some of other artist.
I'd recommend watching John Farnham sing live with Tom Jones on Hey Hey
A.) i love that Farnsey & Barnsey came in and pulled that off
B.) FARNSEY SANG WITH TOM JONES? Take my f--king money
@@OutOnThatLine John Farnham and Tom Jones did a full concert tour around Australia and New Zealand.
Love watching others discover our great talent who are so underrated. Johnny Diesel is Barnsey's son in law, a great artist in his own right, check out Cold Chisel doing Wild Thing live version
added to the list!
Ah mate- Check out his version of When the War is Over from the Last Time tour.
will do!
John is one of nature’s gentlemen. Don’t forget Diesel the guitarist. Actually John is well known internationally within musical circles - he has sung with people like Celine Dion, Olivia Newton John, Robbie Williams etc
You know we are avid Farnsy and Barnsy fans when you see the same people in the comments on EVERY Farnsy and Barnsy reaction video LOL
we love to see it!
Nice one mate ! Glad you liked our boys from Down Under. Looking forward to more of your reactions. A couple more suggestions if they aren`t already on your list. Tina Turner & Jimmy - `Simply The Best` & INXS with Jimmy - `Good Times`. Both official videos.
Yeah, both of these are great choices. I'd love to see a reaction to Tina and Jimmy together. Jimmy and his duets... 💗He's really great at singing with other artists. I think I credit Ian Moss for at least some of that.
@@MariaBM1 I totally agree Maria, My favourite Cold Chisel song is `When The War Is Over`. Ian Moss & Jimmy Barnes sound amazing together. 👍😊
@@michaeljk555, they do indeed!
thank you! and all of these have been added to our list!
A simple thing living in Aus, it's a huge country with a lot of space where when you grow up here you are connected to the land. You should look up Yothu Yindi & his aboriginal music will help you understand how connected to the land the musician are...
And Diesel as well.he was born in the u.s and immigrated with his family as a kid.he is also Jimmy’s brother in law
Barnsey - 'Stone Cold' ft Joe Bonamassa - a more recent song - OR - just released a few months ago - a re release of a cover with one of the original singers from 60's Sam and Dave = 'Soothe Me' with Sam Moore (86 when he recorded this Barnsey mid 60's) - great song.
added to the list!!! thank ya!
Jimmy Barnes Cold Chisel Wild Thing Live at the Last Stand concert please Barnsey going off!!!
OOOOH. "Barnsey going off." Don't you threaten me with a good time! 🤘
I took you a while, but welcome to the party...... Enjoy the ride. It's only just begun.
I believe John never wanted to promote himself overseas. He had a young family and wasn't keen to leave them. Jimmy/Cold Chisel tried their hand in the states, but I don't think the USA appreciated their kind of music. I am sure someone more in the know than I am can let you know all of this information. All I know, is I grew up listening to both of them, and I am a huge fan :)
Try Stone Cold by Jimmy featuring Joe Bonamassa. Jimmy's older but man has he still got it. And for Jimmy's younger years with Cold Chisel. Too good.it
added! thank you!
What do you get if you mix an English man, a Scot's man and an American? Farnsey, Barnsey and Diesel ... all born overseas but came here as youngsters and got their start here and we are pretty proud to claim them too.
i love it!
G'day mate, just found ya the other day, I'm now a subscriber. Loving the reactions. A lot of reactors that get into Aussie artists miss out on boom crash opera, and they are missing out. Please don't miss out. Look forward to more great reactions.
thanks for subscribing! if you've got any suggestions by way of boom crash material, you know where to leave 'em!
@@OutOnThatLine dancing in the storm would be much appreciated. Cheers
Also check out Johnny Diesel, the guitarist in the video with Farnesy & Barnesy, All great Aussie musicians, another great voice is Tina Arena with 'Chains' have fun
Our amazing Farnham has recently had surgery as he had mouth cancer. Atm he has been moved into rehabilitation and his family says he's doing well. Luckily the tumor didn't go into his jaw. As is Barnsey and Farnham still have their same amazing voices. Hopefully John with be able to get back to where he was b4 the cancer. On guitar is Johnny Diesel. Great in his own right as a singer n guitarist. I wld also u check out Matt Corby live on JJJ radio station singing Brothers. He wrote this when he stuffed up his friendship with his best friend when he slept with his gf. U will hear all his emotions of guilt, hurt and anger at himself.
think they said he lost his jaw like John Blackman did or had it partially removed
@@shaunosmorrison8385 no it was on the news and his family said that he's doing well and they didn't have to remove any jaw as luckly it didn't reach it. That was the update yesterday
@@rikkim4818 there are articles all over the net from real news sources to radio stations etc saying John had part of his jaw removed. It makes sense as removing a tumour in that region without some reconstructive surgery doesn't take nearly 12 hours. Plus commentator Peter Ford is a family friend of the Farnhams and one of their main spokespeople and he had this to say:
“The first was the removal of the tumour from his mouth,” Ford said on The Morning Show.
“After that was completed, the reconstructive team came in to take over and there was reconstructive surgery because part of John’s jaw had to be removed as part of tackling this"
@@shaunosmorrison8385 yep they removed a section of his jaw (not the whole thing) and this was reconstructed using bone most likely from his fibula (leg). That is why the surgery was so long.
i'll check out the Triple J, and some Johnny Diesel!
Wow lf I didn't know I would have thought it was David Campbell on stage instead of Jimmy Barnes. Only their voices tell them apart. Jimmy is his Dad.
Farnham was huge in Europe
You need to check out the duet of John Farnham and Olivia Newton John sing Please Don't Ask Me from The Main Event Concert. Olivia is another iconic Australian artists. Jimmy Barnes was a member of the rock group Cold Chisel, which you should check out for his early rock period; before he left for a solo career.
Try "You've got nothing I want!" by Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes' original group that first came to fame in Australia. That song was written after Chisel went to the US and were worked over badly by the record company execs.
for more australian classics try bow river by cold chisel from the ringside tour video, and katie noonan doing a version of sia's chandelier live at the sydney harbour bridge
i'll add the Katie Noonan! maybe you oughtta check back here wednesday and see if a little Bow River drops...
These two are only a fraction of the talent that we didn't share with the world . The Aussie Pub Rock scene was second to none . Raw unpolished and unapologetically Aussie.
hell yeah. i see why y'all are so proud.
Check out Jimmy Barnes & Tina Turner together too xx The best male duet ever. They are best mates and both really family men. Love them and this reaction ❤❤❤ check them out singing When the War is Over together!!!!
Yeah the very best rock voices this country has produced right there ! Throw in Diesel and you' d pay hundreds to see a full concert ! Maybe add Vanessa Amarosi and Deb Conway and you have a night to shake the world !😎👍
I haven't watched all your reactions but, have you not discovered Guy Sebastian yet? Or Matt Corby?
No he's doing the best first. But I'm sure he'll get there...
@@rickandersen2284 so he should be close to Guy Sebastian then considering he would be towards the top, much like Delta Goodrem when it comes to vocal ability. Guy's acoustic 'covid version' of Battle Scars for ANZAC day is a brilliant vocal performance in anyone's books.
@@devilsadvocate2548 except mine. Oh I like the song...but I'm not a fan of the more modern style Guy uses. I'm old and old fashioned. I like a singer who basically just sings...leave the lalala tonal acrobatics to the Americans.
Haven't touched, Sebastian, Corby, or Goodrem yet. Leave song suggestions for me!!
New here, Aussie. These are typical for Australian artists, their bred differently here. Most never wanted international fame, much less live that US or UK celebrity lifestyle. These are committed family men & Australian music royalty. The comradery within our entire music industry has always been deep. Most artists have true & genuine lifelong friendships with one another.
Elton John actually flew over back in the 80's & hosted our first music awards (which wasn't even televised back then) it literally was like a private, unscripted event where the entire Aus. music industry gathered for one big family style night. Elton knew how big the music scene is here & how different it was. Had been a fan of Aussie artists & despite not being international he knew every artist, their music etc from day dot. Elton didn't even come with his diva persona either, for him the biggest stars in his eyes that night was all our very best we had there. You can actually stream it on here now. Fascinating to watch.
John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes & Jimmy Barnes incredibly successful band "Cold Chisel" (inc 1 other incredible artist called Ian Moss) were the no.1 & no.2 bestselling musicians of all time here. John Farnham holds the bestselling album of all time (which will likely never be beat) from 1986 which went I think, 17 times platinum. And, during those music awards I was talking about he took out every award possible. It basically looked like an award show just for him in the end lol. They've all had 50yr careers, so all the rabbit holes are quite deep now. You've only just touched the surface. Barnsey's voice did detoriate somewhat from heavy drinking etc but he still damn well rocks it even now.
John Farnham is universally known as "The Voice" & he is an absolute GOAT up there with Celine Dion etc. Celine is JF's biggest fan. Literally fan-girled over him after someone arrange for her to meet him here. He has performed with the likes of Ray Charles, Tom Jones etc. John or Farnsey as we call him literally can sing anything perfectly every single note, getting more out of even pronunciation of words whilst he sings them than anyone else. Every note. Every genre. Any key. ANYTHING. You'll never find a bad performance of him anywhere, it doesn't exist. He can sing AC/DC, ballads, rock. opera, pop, blues, anything.
You've hit the nail on the head with John Farnham. He is the nicest, funniest & humble bloke you'll ever meet. Always happy, always smiling, cracking jokes. His charisma & star power is indescribable. How he is on stage every single moment is just a sight to see. What he does to the crowd, the sheer emotion & connection he has to everyone in the audience & every song is written all over his face. He somehow manages to smile through even the hardest of notes, effortlessly. He has lifelong friendships with everyone, whether it be another musician, a band member, a fan, media, tv shows, everything & everyone.
He also has been married to his wife since 1973. Never had a chip on his shoulder nor lived that "rock n roll' life. How he is on camera, on stage is exactly how he is with any stranger he comes across. No one has a bad word to say about him. He had the same band members, back-up singers throughout his entire career. The best of the best he calls them, in which he highlighted them every single moment he could. He respects them as artists as much as they respect them.
John had a very successful early career when he was quite young but then had a few tough & trying years thereafter. Struggled with even funds thereafter. He however had the comebacks of all comebacks, where his manager literally re-mortgaged his house to back it. That turned out to be that highest selling & most successful album Australia has ever had, to this day even.
Lots to checkout with John. He also starred in the most successful musical here of all time, "Jesus Christ Superstar". His rendition of Jesus is MIND BLOWING. It also includes some other incredible artists in their own right here. Again, the genuine comradery & chemistry between them all made the show all it became & more. I really recommend doing a reaction on a part of that show other reactors have done. Though it's 20mins. All of which you'll probs be mesmerized every. single. second. with goosebumps. So, well worth it. None of the artists expected the show to ever blow up as much as it did. They were all taken aback by how successful it became. It's a true tribute to really what the Australian Music Industry really is, even to this day.
Going back to the song you reacted to here, it also includes Johnny Diesel or Diesel as he is known. He is a successful male artist in his own right (who unfortunately prefers to stay out of the limelight & arena type performances) so you'll never find much available on him. But, aside from John Farnham he is my 2nd all-time favourite musician to see live. Much like Farnsey he is like a fine red wine & only gets better with time. To this day he prefers to tour pubs nationally. Which is incredible for his fans, the best pub gig you'll ever get to see. And every tour he manages to change things up even better. Also, he is one of Australia's best guitarists, so he often is in the background of major events, concerts etc just doing what he does best on his guitar.
Funnily enough he ended up marrying into Jimmy Barnes big, huge extended family. He is now his brother-in-law. Hence, they team up often. Over Covid Barnsey created an incredibly popular online presence from live performances from his home. All of his extended family, whom are all highly musical.
Unfortunately, neither John nor Diesel ever had a strong online presence, no social media accounts etc. What's available on here of their entire careers is very limited. Often not the best quality & sound either. So, reactors really can't see the best of the best of them to really do them justice.
John's just been diagnosed with mouth cancer (he is 73) & had major surgery on his jaw which likely means he will never be able to sing again. Unfortunately, he was a heavy smoker for most of his life. How he ever managed to breath & sing the way he did we will never know. But his musical legacy will live on forever. There will never be another him. His type of voice & musical ability/range we will never ever see again.
He also holds many of his songs which to this day have become anthems here. His most successful song was "You're the Voice" & over the decades it's just taken on a life of its own & John's performance of it just got better & better. How the crowd reacts to it (young & old) to this day is incredible. It's known as "Australia's unofficial national anthem" every Australian belts out every single word. Our actual national anthem most don't even know in its entirety. Hence the performances of it need a new reaction to on these channels, every decade it was performed.
Many worldwide superstars come here & all want to sing that song in their tours. We had a charity concert called "Sound Relief" watched by all & Coldplay was on. They started singing it & John Farnham comes out unexpectedly to anyone & starts belting it out like only he could do (in his 60's by then mind you) & the crowd just went WILD.
To this day one of my favorite performances ever & I've watched it 100's of times. Each time still gives me goosebumps. You must find that & react to that performance too. Just doing a reaction to "You're the Voice" in the 80's that one time doesn't do John or the song enough justice. There is also a massive live performance he did in Germany floating around on here. The only time he really did an international performance. One of the biggest live crowds one could have. All artists usually mimed back then but like he always did he insisted on singing live or he just wouldn't do it. And boy did he kill it. Unfortunately, not the best quality footage to do the sound justice either.
The guitarist is Diesel who is an awesome singer in his own right AND Barnsey’s brother in law.
Because we kept them... This is very much prior to thr Internet... The Australian top 10 was more influenced by the music down under and the need to sound good LIVE. This is back before the widescale use of enhancement software and lip syncing was a total sin.
Watch how John regulates his voice by moving the microphone away so as not to overwhelm the other voices. John Farnham brought out the best in others because he was so generous; he sung WITH, not OVER.
I still yave trouble remembering that HELP is a Beatles song that John covered rather than the other way around because the sound, and song, work better in Soul than Pop.
great points here. i really admire that Australian music/pub rock had to rock LIVE, without any goosing in the studio. i respect the hell out of the mastery of technique, and the commitment to stage charisma.
OMG I know you don't want to focus too much on Australian artists but I have a few more 🤣🤣🤣 Guy Sebastian, Matt Corby, Tina Arena. There's tons more but I'm sure others will make more suggestions 😀
When even superlatives aren't enough....
you ain't kidding!
Barnsy and Farnsy - Got to be perfection. We have been so lucky to grow up with them and enjoy their music. But of course Farnsy is the GOAT but Barnsy is not far behind. ❤❤
Can't go wrong with either always live for these guys
John does 3 with Melbourne symphony orchestra as well these are brilliant
John can sing anything 5 decades of no 1s why he got the name the voice
Which is one of the titles with orchestra
Watch Jimmy sing with Joe bonamassa Stone cold
It has it all Jimmy voice and Joe guitar 🎸 solo's he has 2 first is a tease 2nd amazing
Just like jimmy's voice in this one their on 🔥
nice! added to my list.
Beat that one....!!
Try Matt Corby brother live triple j version
When Aussies tried to break into the US market, they usually seem to have to sacrifice themselves on the Alter of Big Record Companies, usually having to sacrifice their Aussie fans to attempt to make it in the US. Listen to Cold Chisel's "You've Got Nothing I Want" which was written about their experience with this process.

brilliant. added to the list!
Now listen to the guitarist Jim Deisel sing. I think the song is all, “on the tip of my tongue.” He’s got other great songs too.
Don't you mean 'Johnny' Diesel? Or more correctly Mark Lizotte! ;-)
@@devilsadvocate2548 - YES. Thank you.
The funny thing is I commented about 30 mins on another video that I typed Jim not Johnny on this video. Thank you for the correction.
absolutely! added to the list.
You should check out "I've Been Loving You Too Long" on Jimmy's YT channel "Official Jimmy Barnes".
I won't say too much, but... remember the guitarist in this video...? :)
The video title to look for is: Jimmy Barnes - I've Been Loving You Too Long (Live & Acoustic)
You need to do Help by John Farnham Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Listen to John Farnham doing black dog!
Nice job! I enjoyed your reaction to these two Aussie idols. I look forward to your tour of discovery. With Farnham you will discover he is not only just a great guy who loves a joke and interacting with his audience, but also his music crosses just about any genre. Try "Granada" (ruclips.net/video/K6uxFKmCXB8/видео.html) with Anthony Warlow (who played the Phantom in Australia). Jimmy not as diverse but a legend in his own right in the rock scene. I suggest "Stone Cold" (ruclips.net/video/IyXFHr5jylI/видео.html) performed with the great American guitarist Joe Bonamassa.
thank you for these!! granada and stone cold are on the list!
As others have said, Bow River by Cold Chisel is recommended. Not the official video but instead the performance from their Ringside tour. The video quality isn't top-notch but the audio is. ruclips.net/video/TdVRNDnTKTU/видео.html
hmmmmm well, maybe you should check back with the channel on Wednesday for a little surprise....
Two absolute legends on one stage, talk about moneys worth wow. John & Jimmy are loved just as much over here in New Zealand. Jimmy with the growl in his voice just made for rock music, then in my opinion you have the G.O.A.T Mr John Farnham. The reason for me John has the better voice is his range, a bit of grit and the power. John covers one of cold chisel's songs When The War Is Over, and yes Jimmy as their singer does an outstanding performance. Sorry John's version wow When The War Is Over ruclips.net/video/BekbvlLzMWc/видео.html again it's the range John gets that takes an iconic song & makes it awesome.
Listening to Farnsey live is the way to go he has a voice for live performances, in his concerts he has such respect for his band and his fans. The way he loves to interact with the crowd, like when they sing parts of his songs. Then you've got a bit of comedy thrown in as well also he can sing any genre of music from ballads to rock. This icon could belt those notes out at age 70 as if he was 40, simply amazing. Being one of the most humble guys you would meet, he never thinks as though he is the best John just loves to sing and entertain crowds and that's what he does best. So in wishing he recovers from this horrible disease thank you for reacting to these two legends of the music industry.
If you like Jimmy Barnes check out Cold Chisel that Jimmy Barnes fronted for...
You poor Americans deprived of this icon ‘barnesy’, it is a shame the general American population don’t know him but every big name rock act in America certainly do, I think jimmy holds the unofficial record of singing with every mainstream rock band from the USA when they tour Australia, they all contact jimmy to join them on stage when touring down under👏👏
i'm happy to be discovering Farnsey/Barnsey/Cold Chisel now!!
If you liked Barnsey in this, check out Jimmy Barnes along with Ian Moss in Cold Chisel - Bow River and When The War Is Over
geoff did When The War Is Over recently, and ya might wanna check back wednesday to see if a little Bow River shows up...
Yes I’ve already checked that out :)
Try When the War is over by John Farnham. Breathtaking. If you can do the one with an appearance by Jimmy Barnes, evwn better
Geoff covered the Cold Chisel version; should I still do the Farnsey version??
