@@FionaEm Doesn't matter, plenty of working class blokes back in 1985 made it their anthem, me included. Both countries share the working class underdog scenario. so it works for both of us.
This song was written for Jimmy by Jonathon Cain of the band Journey. The piano player is Clayton Doley and on guitar is Jimmy’s son-in-law Ben Rodgers, Mahalia’s husband.
Thanks , you are the reason Jimmy Barnes is now one of my top five singers ever! He is also an awesome family man that I see . Wish he could come to USA .
Wow. This is so much more emotional and 'connected' than the powerhouse radio version that I'm used to hearing from his earlier days after Cold Chisel. Great lyrics. Great reaction. Cheers. :)
A few years ago Jimmy Barnes and family, had a tour through New Zealand of 'His Life' growing up. This song and a number of other songs he shared was life experiences. We went to see him, Tauranga NZ. He was so down to earth, an absolute amazing voice. So feeling a little emotional right now. ☝️👍🤓
Thank you for doing this song Jimmy has an AWESOME voice love the way you express your thoughts on the songs also I would love to here you sing I think you have a great voice. ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻💕💕⭐️⭐️🔥🔥
🗣He The Man 🔥🧨 I'm really glad you herd👂 this Version / style of working class , as you can take in the Lyrics in its fullest Translation / Meaning ! 🤘✌ I listen to this Version all the Time ⏲ 🎶🎵🎵
Love this version more of a ballad really emphasizes the lyrics more than the original❤😂 Another Australian anthem song to add to your list is Solid Rock by Goanna. ❤
I know you prefer live but now you've heard the ballad version and lyrics..I think his official film clip version is visually as powerful and also supportive of the lyrics.
You could try the Mushroom Music Group with whom Jimmy Barnes has been associated with his entire solo career. It is possible he is looked after by his wife Jane most directly now, through via his own Freight Train Music label.
Great video, you’ve got to react Cold Chisel Things I love in you (live footage 1988) video on his son B Barnes RUclips channel. His vocals are crazy good and it’s one of his favourite Chisel songs. Also long dark road live as jimmy wrote that one about 7 years ago.
Hard to see because it's blacked out but was it Lachy Doley on the piano? His brother Clayton usually is on the keys but they occasionally sit in for each other
Actually, mate, this song was written by a member of Journey, I think, and handed over to Jimmy as the singer to do it justice! And I know that the writer definitely was not from the land of Oz.
Have you heard Adam Hills' version of Advance Australia Fair to the original (faster) version of this? It really works! ruclips.net/video/eobSMcB-nMA/видео.html
Awesome video! It’s worth hunting down the compilations of Jimmy talking on Q&A. Perhaps not one to react to because it’s not music and it can be political, but just in your own time!
You are spot on …. The lyrics of this song is a message that expresses the sentiments of Australians at the time .
Except it was written by an American.
@@FionaEm as if that’s got anything to do with it

How did i miss this? Love hearing it sung like this ❤
Jimmy has a beautiful low register , when he sings , he has a beautiful tone , when he sings, Stone cold , love it
Agree. Actually prefer Jimmy's low register vocals. Stone Cold is one of my favourites too.
Damn, this "restrained" version hits so much harder than the original

Isn't he brilliant. Seeing him live is phenomanol

Omg this song! This version brought tears to my eyes. It's describing my Grandad to a tee 🥲🥲🥲

You hit the nail on the head. Some of the biggest songs ever in Australia.
We are all a little Country here in Oz. Just like the land we live on, our music can also be a little Rocky!
Great description! 😁

Anyone who thinks Barnsey “screams” needs to listen to this version
It's Australia's equivalent of "Born in the USA".
Such a great singer, such a great song. Lyrics are by that bloke from Journey. Thanks for the reaction matey
The original has a faster tempo, but this version is brilliant too. On ya Barnesy for singing such relatable themes on behalf of the working class.
Oh man, I’m getting teary. Thanks for bringing this performance.
🗣He The Man 🔥🧨
I'm really glad you herd👂 this Version / style of working class , as you can take in the Lyrics in its fullest Translation / Meaning ! 🤘✌
I listen to this Version all the Time ⏲ 🎶🎵🎵
Goddamn, I loved that. Jimmy is the GOAT 💯
I thing of BruceSpringsteen singing the same sort of resonance with working class men in the USA
No Second Prize has way more emotional lyrics than Working Class Man
Thanks for playing this Nick.
Love this version more of a ballad really emphasizes the lyrics more than the original❤😂 Another Australian anthem song to add to your list is Solid Rock by Goanna. ❤
Love this version, Jimmy did a similar version during The Maldives shows
He was in " Cold Chisel " : Star Hotel, Four Walls, Choir Girl, Khe Sanh.
And then did song Blues standards solo .
I know you prefer live but now you've heard the ballad version and lyrics..I think his official film clip version is visually as powerful and also supportive of the lyrics.
Loved this
I get goosebumps I saw him in Melbourne at Australian made 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I like most Australians love farnsey and can not fathom Aussie music without him. We wish him health and a full recovery. We love you JF xxx
This is an Australian anthem! 🇦🇺❤️

Crying listening to this song as a Aussie
jimmy is a good lad just talk to him. proud to say from same place as cold chisel
Your 3 introduction choices are PERFECT (I'd probably sub Guy Sebastian with Delta but that's just me lol)
Cold Chisel - khe sanh. Noiseworks - Take me back. The Screaming Jets - Better.
I think I like his voice better in this slowed down version even more that the original when he was younger.
Check out jimmys new band “the barnestormers” and their new single “johnnys gone” 🤙
Jimmy Barnes is lead singer of Cold Chisel
Just so you know I'm using headphones and your commentary is only in my right ear, the music is fine though. Just a little distracting.
Same here
Have a look at the lyrics of Khe Sanh (Cold Chesel) - very poignant
I actually love this version better than the original💖
Great video, you’ve got to react Cold Chisel Things I love in you (live footage 1988) video on his son B Barnes RUclips channel. His vocals are crazy good and it’s one of his favourite Chisel songs. Also long dark road live as jimmy wrote that one about 7 years ago.
Hard to see because it's blacked out but was it Lachy Doley on the piano? His brother Clayton usually is on the keys but they occasionally sit in for each other
Clayton I believe. Both brilliant so Jimmy takes advantage of that as Lachie is pretty busy these days.
Wrong version mate. Look for an earlier version with the full band. It will knock your socks off.

you r trippin

Yes, Jimmy is a great singer just like Bruce Springsteen. Don't care for their political views....
Q&A is a toxic show
