A 'cold chisel' is used by metal workers, mechanics, fitters etc, it is a chisel used for rough cutting metals from sheet metal to cast iron. Wood chisels, stone chisels and cold chisels are designed for purpose and are shaped accordingly. so a 'cold chisel' is primarily for metalworking. By the way, I am a retired old school mechanic. Thanks for your reactions to this iconic band, I'm an Aussie and have enjoyed their music since day one.
Yeh, with mushroomed heads cos buggers won't dress 'em up. Handy tool for sure. Why Chisel called themselves that, hard hitting and cutting edge?
A cold chisel is definitely a thing. wood working chisels, and masonry chisels are things to, but every working class man knows and uses a cold chisel. Calling themselves Cold Chisel is referring to working class origins, especially working in metal working shops. It is associated with being hard and real but has the added benefit for a band of being associated with the cutting edge.
Dang!! who was the digit that said they'd had enough of this band!! Still more hits to discover - Breakfast at Sweetheart's, Goodbye Astrid, Forever Now, Taipan, Choir Girl, Star Hotel... Anyway, you guys have put in a great effort in bringing this classic Aussie band to your engaged audience and keeping great music alive - I salute you and your team! 🥇🏆🎖🎶🎸🎹🎷🎤🎵
Plenty
Thank you. Maybe we can do a second week at some point!
@@TheThamesmen Yip!! Like maybe next week!! 😄👍
Love Goodbye Astrid and Breakfast at Sweethearts - The Thamesmen please do these songs!
You cannot say you’ve covered Chisel without Forever Now and Choir Girl 😊
Warm, humid summer nights in the crowds at Kings Cross - the pros, buskers, bouncers, touts, cops, drunks, druggies, ambos, gawkers etc. This song is so evocative.
Sounds how I remember it
Can't underestimate don walker's influence on cold chisel. 5 of the 6 songs in chisel week were don walker songs. As Jimmy Barnes said "cold chisel is don walker's band. Always was, always will be."
Yeah, we all knew it had to be here. It's such a vibe this track, the more you hear it, the more you hear, if that makes sense. Thank you for giving Chisel a full week, I know it probably wasn't everyone's dream, but I hope some people who never knew them, may be giving them a crack now. 🤞❤
Well said 👏
Our pleasure. We loved making this week
I’d just like to remind you that January 26th is Australia Day. Perfect to coincide with another Aussie Week
Thank you so much for a week of Chisel. I'm 60 years old and this was like a flashback to my youth. I think a lot about how lucky I was growing up with this music. If you're feeling adventurous, try listening to Skyhooks, another uniquely Aussie band
Be well Jona. It is a real pleasure. ✌️
I've been trying to get Chris the Curator to do the hooks. He is meant to be from Melbourne.
@@CryptikConstruct And I love Skyhooks, let me get them into an Aussie week first. The lyrics are often a bit Melbourne central in some songs, so let''s see how the A+G cope with one first!
@@christhecurator you mean Balwyn Callin' doesn't have universal appeal?
Horror Movie and You Just Like Me Cos I'm Good In Bed should be OK.
Per wikipedia: ""The name cold chisel comes from its use by blacksmiths to cut metal while it was cold as compared to other tools they used to cut hot metal. Because cold chisels are used to form metal, they have a less-acute angle to the sharp portion of the blade than a woodworking chisel."
In Australia see the term "cold chisel" commonly in hardware stores etc.
Don Walker the keyboard player probably wrote and arranged this song. Cannot express what this band means to me. They have so much in common with AC/DC although they didn't enjoy that level of success, but the should have. I hope they have a massive revival in the US and UK
One of my all time Chisel favourites. There's still some jems to discover.
Breakfast at Sweetheart's
Goodbye Astrid
No Sense
Choir Girl
20th Century
Star Hotel
(Just to name a few.)
Also Forever Now
You've Got Nothing I want
My Baby
Shipping Steel
Rising Sun
Plenty for another Chisel week, not to mention more weeks dedicated to Jimmy or ones with Jimmy singing with others.
🎵🎶
Four walls
Shipping Steel
Standing on the Outside
Add to those lists…
When The War Is Over
Khe Sanh (iconic!)
Not to mention Jimmy’s solo career
Coming to the end of Cold Chisel week is like bingeing on a packet of Tim Tams and realising you have just eaten the last one.
Except bingeing on Chisel doesn't make you violently ill 😅
Better buy another packet?
I agree! More Chisel and Jimmy please 😊
That makes me feel so sad! I see where you are coming from with that reference
I think Breakfast at sweethearts is the perfect song to play after Saturday night.
yes!
This was easily their most sophisticated sounding song. Should have been HUGE in the 80s.. You can FEEL Kings Cross in the texture and vibe. Ive only been there a few times and I recognize the places in the vid. I was there for 3 NYE in the 90s.. Its STILL very much the same... just slightly less "corrupt" now haha
Much more polished than something like "20th Century", this is my 2nd fave song.
Also…a lot of people sees Chisel as Jimmy Barnes but we have to remember that Ian Moss was also a big part of Chisel, sang lead in a lot of their songs and is an amazing artist in his own right.
Context.
Back in the ‘80’s it was not unusual to get locked up on a Saturday Night.
Spend 4-8 hours in the local watch house.
They call it Drunk and Disorderly now.
Spent a few New Year’s Eve in a Watch House in Melbourne.
58 now. Too old for that stuff
Thanks George and Alex for doing Chisel Week. Great selections by Chris. Can never get enough Chisel.
Our pleasure and thank you for the support
I'm at the Adelaide 500 watching this video between Noiseworks & Jimmy Barnes after race concerts.
Loads of gems to find - Goodbye (Astrid Goodbye), No Sense, Shipping Steel, Breakfast at Sweethearts and the list goes on
You should both form the Auger Auchestra - renowned for plumbing the depths of pop music.
Every day I kept thinking “surely Georgia is gonna make it to Chisel week” but sadly, no. Having said that, it has been an excellent week of classic Aussie music & I’ve loved every track.
In all seriousness....
You could do 5 or 6 weeks of solid chisel songs....
Really
In the first 5 albums you could do 40 songs.... you have already done a few of them....
Great band
I have really enjoyed this week. Some real classics. Thankyou both and also to Chris.
Thanks for your support
Saturday night here on the NSW Central Coast. Eating chinese food for dinner and watching you guys react to Chisel doing ‘Saturday Night’ Perfect! ❤️👍🇦🇺
I'm watching this eating a pizza from West Gosford Domino's
@@cyclops92 oh cool! 👍😁🇦🇺
Thankyou gentlemen. It's great to see people enjoying great music and the world finding some of our great bands and songs. Cheers.
You still have the solo careers of Mossy and Barney to look forward.
A brilliant week but what about 'Choirgirl'?
We need another week boys! ☮️
Thanks and maybe!
Have they done four walls? That is my favorite by a long shot
Guys thanks for the journey. Barnsley lived in my Town in he Southern Highlands south of Sydney.
Just a true down to earth bloke.
Served him and his half brother John Swann a couple of bottles of Scotch at a local resort one night. Yep they could party.
NOOOOOOO, you have not anywhere near exhausted cold chisel reactions, plenty more to see, keep up the good work
I rememer that I think the Saturday Lotto Draw used this tune in there Ad Campaign in the day
Cold Chisel is made from high grade vanadium steel used for cutting 'cold' metals. Used for removing waste metal when a very smooth finish is required or when the work cannot be done easily with other tools. Ideal for handyman, DIY and construction use. cold chisels can be used on metal, say if you want to remove a nut that wont budge or is rusted on you choose the chisel suited to the size of the nut then you get a heavy hammer and bang it and it will cut through the nut
Cold chisel
A cold chisel is a tool made of tempered steel used for cutting 'cold' metals,[2] meaning that they are not used in conjunction with heating torches, forges, etc. Cold chisels are used to remove waste metal when a very smooth finish is not required or when the work cannot be done easily with other tools, such as a hacksaw, file, bench shears or power tools.
The name cold chisel comes from its use by blacksmiths to cut metal while it was cold as compared to other tools they used to cut hot metal. Because cold chisels are used to form metal, they have a less-acute angle to the sharp portion of the blade than a woodworking chisel. This gives the cutting edge greater strength at the expense of sharpness.
Cold chisels come in a variety of sizes, from fine engraving tools that are tapped with very light hammers, to massive tools that are driven with sledgehammers. Cold chisels are forged to shape and hardened and tempered (to a blue colour) at the cutting edge.
The head of the chisel is chamfered to slow down the formation of the mushroom shape caused by hammering and is left soft to avoid brittle fracture splintering from hammer blows.
There are four common types of cold chisels. These are the flat chisel, the most widely known type, which is used to cut bars and rods to reduce surfaces and to cut sheet metal that is too thick or difficult to cut with tin snips. The cross cut chisel is used for cutting grooves and slots. The blade narrows behind the cutting edge to provide clearance. The round nose chisel is used for cutting semi-circular grooves for oil ways in bearings. The diamond point chisel is used for cleaning out corners or difficult places and pulling over centre punch marks wrongly placed for drilling.
Although the vast majority of cold chisels are made of steel, a few are manufactured from beryllium copper, for use in special situations where non-sparking tools are required.
Cold Chisels are predominantly used in Repoussé and chasing processes for the fabrication of bronze and aluminium sculptures.
Well said
Great track to round out Chisel Week, Chris.
It’s not just a song, it’s a mood.
Awesome effort this week!!
Agree the mood: getting ready to go out with"Hey hey it's Saturday" on the 23" telly listening to this track played before ad break!🎉
Yep. That was the ritual.
Oh Kings Cross.... my sister used to work in a pastry/coffee shop that was next to "Pink Pussycat' I think? When I was about 15, I used to work there to earn some money..... one night.... an addict came in and started crawling across the counter to reach the register...... the boss..... a beautiful gay man, 6' 1"..... Bob.... came out from the back and just punched him...... lmao...... another day though, my sister got to work in the morning and there was a man, dead, in the doorway..... I have so many stories about that time in my life lol
After cold chisel barnsey released the Barnstorming album and his first hit solo single, working class man
Cold Chisel is used for metal that is not heated with blow torches or forges - the cutting edge is strong but does not have an edge that is as acute or as sharp
WELL IF YA DONT LIKE IT WHAT ARE YA STANDIN THERE FOR 20 MINUTES WATCHIN IT FOR?
I love this track. It's so well crafted and classy. It has some Lionel Richie/Hall n Oats vibe but with Aussieness
We always called a chisel which was used for cutting the heads off of bolts, a cold chisel here in OZ. . Basically a cold chisel is for use to cut metal. It is a hand tool!!
And stone too
Ah. Kings Cross in summer back on the bad old days. That song hits the mood perfectly.
Hey guys, my Google search brought this up - Cold chisel masonry
Cold chisels are used to cut rivets, to split nuts or bolts that refuse to come loose, or to break castings. They can also be used to cut sheet metal. The metal chisels with edges in other shapes have other applications, such as grooving or shaping corners.
Cheers
Thanks guys for getting around to this one especially reacting to the offical video clip which takes you back in time during Sydney’s night life. One of my favourite tracks I only wish it went for a bit longer lol. Such a catchy song
The band name Cold Chisel was names after a song by Don Walker of the same name. In the early 70s the band didn’t have a name they just changed it each time they appeared, but the name of this particular song seemed to stick, so they kept it as the band name. A cold chisel is of course used to cut cold metal. PS you now have to do Jimmy Barnes - Working Class man, his signature song!
I have looked for that song, Cold Chisel. Haven't found it yet....perhaps the where still called 'Orange' when they sung it before Jimmy joined in about 75.
@@kazz3956 hi Kazz at that stage the band used a different name every time they performed.
@@kazz3956 look for “Working Class Man” - Jimmy Barnes or you can wait until our Thamesmen cover it. 🙂
@@Laraine3 I know that song well. but can't wait for the reaction.....bring it on 🎶🎵
@@kazz3956 ahh, my bad. I misunderstood.
Got to the check out of local supermarket recently and granddaughters 2 and 5 were doing the intro for this. Person in front turned around and told them they had great taste in music…..
Nicely done!
Bon Scott called Chisel, Warm hammer
I believe Don Walker (keyboards) song Cold Chisel was behind the naming of the group. They used it for one performance and the name stuck. Don’t know for sure if that’s true or not however did read that bit of trivia. Thought you might be interested. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🇦🇺
Wikipedia agrees with you ;)
The cold chisel is hard or tempered because the metal being cut or shaped by it is hard. In the case of a hot chisel, the metal being cut is generally soft. Hence, the hot chisels are not as hard and tempered as compared to cold chisels.
I hope someone has told you this, but a cold chisel is a great deal heftier than a wood-working chisel. It is used on metal and masonry. It includes a centre punch as part of its arsenal.

Another great week from an Australian band from the late seventies maybe early next years Chris can do a weeks worth of Skyhooks the band that broke sales records and the first band on Countdown in color the biggest glam rock band from Australia and they have a song named Saturday Night but easier to play on guitar with a great riff maybe even a million dollar riff
you guys have to try The Screaming Jets, another awesome Aussie rock band from the 80's
Kings Cross has changed, gentrified however there are still pockets of the old..the Piccolo Bar is still there in Rosnay Street.
Definitely need another week. You haven’t even scratched the surface.
The journey of the development of this band missed one vital song- "Breakfast at Sweetheart's." That was their polish.
I will check thanks
Do yourselves a favour ‘Thamesman’ and watch the live version from the last stand concert, it is amazing 👍🏻
Saturday night thanks guys sings in older Aussie hearts
I can see why
I live 5 minutes from Narrabeen, was shocked when you said the suburb. There is Joe’s Pizza or run of the mill Dominos. Sadly I was only 10 in 1985 so cannot remember Adam’s Pizza. You should come to Oz & visit the northern beaches again my friend.
Love the intro best ever love from perth west australia
:)
You two should try and get hold of a copy of their DVD called Seeing is Believing. It takes you through the first installment of the band. As for Saturday Night, if you listen again, that chorus will be embedded in your brain. The Cross got ruined by the Government introducing absurd liquor laws that were region specific.
Cold chisels are used for chiselling steel bolts or welds etc.
And writing amazing songs!
Australian Crawl next? Hunters and Collectors?
There are SO MANY more CC songs!! Who said enough? And don't forget Jimmy Barnes has a whole massive catalogue of music himself.... but CC still has Breakfast at Sweethearts and a bunch more. Thank you for doing this! I love Saturday Night. Xxx
I lived a 10 minute walk from King's Cross, so was there every Saturday Night, sometimes ended up at "Breakfast at Sweetheart's" (another Chisel song you haven't done yet) about 6 a.m.
Lucky you survived!

You haven’t exhausted the chisels. I mentioned ‘Standing on the 0utside’ before on another revue, in any case you get the picture, at least from this song, these guys are deep, maybe complicated but never superficial- yes fascinating & they have depth. How do I impart this is really Aussie & this type of Aussie culture is on the way out, again new immigration, the arrivals would have no F’g idea about this (good or bad): it’s reality. Gents have a look at theAngels, Australian Crawl (esp. “Reckless”).. Kings X has changed %100 used to be scary not so much now. Keep going, peel-away. Kindest regards (I subscribed yesterday) be the thinking guys you are. Gnite.
Thanks for a brilliant week, I live in Adelaide where Chisel are from have loved their music since 1978!
Thanks for the support
Jimmy said they were at their peak, didn't know how to do better, and didn't want to give less that the best. There was a lot of infighting, so they went separate ways. When they got back together, in 10 mins they knew why they stopped.
Be careful who you ask what a bogan is. Wikki is wrong as usual. There are a variety of meanings. Mostly folk who are happy with who they are, not caring how others see them, unapologetically doing what they want to, with however much they have. Some are fighters, hoons, some boozers, or druggies, some generations of unemployed, most proud of how they get by. Some are really rough to look at, a lot are really kind folk. Don't think aussies are dumb if they look rough, we are not. Bogan is not always derogatory, depends who you talk to.
Cold chisels are used to cut through hard materials like metal or masonry.
I thought as much. Thanks
My dad was a blacksmith. He had a few cold chisels lying around the place. Cold chisels are for cutting through cold metal, and hot chisels were for cutting through hot metal.
Makes sense!
Lads a cold chisel is a specifically designed chisel primarily used to split metal items.
"The cold chisel is hard or tempered because the metal being cut or shaped by it is hard. In the case of a hot chisel, the metal being cut is generally soft. Hence, the hot chisels are not as hard and tempered as compared to cold chisels."
Also…never agree that you have exhausted Chisel after only a week…..😂
Thanks Chris - a great selection of everything. There is still at least another fortnight worth of the bare minimum of must see Chisel - let's get it sorted.
"85" Kings Cross , i was there mid-teens, blew my mind to see some of the stuff going on . Might have crossed your path !!
Had some crazy nights up there!
I was taught back in the 60s that a Cold Chisel was used for splitting bricks for brick laying....👍🇭🇲
I am pretty sure that is the context my father used for it in England. Thanks
Yeah Cold Chisel first broke up in 1983 they briefly reformed in 1984 for Last Stand Tour 1983 - 1984 . Jimmy Barnes first solo album was released the same year in 1984 Bodyswerve.
Drummer Steve Prestwich joined the Little River Band in 1984 to 1986 while John Farnham was lead singer then went on to underrated solo career.
Keyboardist and main songwriter Don Walker had a number of musical projects Catfish , Tex Don & Charlie and solo .
Ian Moss took nearly 5 years to produce any music in 1989 with the Matchbook album witch was pretty much nearly a Cold Chisel album without Jimmy Barnes .
Bassist Phil Small kept a low key profile outside Cold Chisel.
Cold Chisel reformed again in the late 90’s coincidence with Jimmy Barnes being chased by the tax department in Australia after a few solo album failed to get him out financial troubles .
Plus Don Walker had so many songs that he wanted Cold Chisel back together to record them . Since then Cold Chisel had been balanced between solo careers . Steve Prestwich sadly passed away in 2011 .
No never enough Chisel! Great selection but you’ve barely scratched the surface just enough to leave crying out for more!❤
Thanks guys, takes me back to my early years. Those were the days.
Ditto. The sound of the times, you can smell a Saturday night just listening to it
Here I am on a Saturday night having a beer watching Saturday night , perfect , there’s plenty more chisel to check out , luv it
The more you hear it the more you want to listen again
Good point. Going to go listen again!
If you haven't seen the Aussie comedy Kath & Kim, it's a good way to understand what a bogan is.
Pretty appropriate song to finish on, as it's their last hit song of 83'. Ian was still learning it and forgot the words during their last stand tour. It's featured on the video. What was supposed to be "Saturday night's already old, walking into Sunday and I find, all desires are cold etc...". But it turned into "Saturday night's already old, I can feel the same old hole, cigarettes to ease my mind, tell me what you like, no I don't mind"... 🤣🤣🤣
Then Jimmy holds up the words for him.
Thamesmen keep searching & foraging around Cold Chisel .. I find it interesting hearing & seeing your reactions.
Hi Guys. Just wondering if you would like to hear some great Australian Blues/Rock from 71? The band is 'Chain'. song Black & Blue. They were huge back then. Matt Taylor is and was the best blues harp player I have heard, and I've been around. I hope you play it and enjoy. Thanks
they were actually diksleksick and they meant to spell "gold cheezel "
(a kind of junk food delicacy here called " cheezels " ) So....Gold Cheezel " became Cold chisel by default ......fun fact 1:
Seems reasonable
FYI cold chisel
noun
: a chisel made of tool steel of a strength, shape, and temper suitable for chipping or cutting cold metal
There are plenty more chart topping Chisel songs if you decide to do another Chisel week. Sorry Canada! "Breakfast at Sweethearts" is another one off the top of my head that is worthy of your fine reaction. These are the songs of my youth.
Another great song from Aussie is The Zoot's version of Eleanor Rigby 👍👍
Can never have enough of Chisel or the spin offs ❤
Thank you so much for highlighting Chisel, they trully should receive the accolades and recognition they so deserve for nothing other than their pure musicianship and excellence in their craft! You have only just touched the sides though! ✌🏻 🇦🇺
The old Coca Cola sign is still there in the Cross too…just digital now
The difference between Chisel and others bands is they broke up when someone left and joined a cult, whereas Jimmy left to go solo and started a cult.
You definately could do a second Chisel week if you're interested. My suggested 6 songs would be - Standing on the Outside, Breakfast at Sweethearts, Shipping Steel, Ita, Forever Now and Choir Girl.
Nice! Thanks
My dad had one, it is moulded from one lot of metal, the top is flat, the tool end looks like a blunt, flattened point, a bit like a flat head screwdriver. Normal chisels have a Handle. Cold chisels do not. Over time the end gets pushed out of shape, it ends up looking like a mushroom cap, with random splits in it. Cold in this sense means blunt, it is used with a big hammer to bludgeon things you want to work on. The area the band came from was industrial, from what I understand.
Gents absolutely loving your reaction channel. A Cold Chisle is a specific type of chisel used in metal fabrication trades.
Thanks Peter. Hang arouvd!
Apparently the name came from the fact that they used to use different names for every performance in the early 70's..... they used the name 'Cold Chisel' from a Don Walker song one time.... and decided they liked it..... so they kept it :D xx
Sadly the X no longer has its edge. (Thx. Always loved Flame Trees, but you have given me a much greater appreciation for the Chisels).
Always one of if not my favourite by them. Such an interesting sound and production. Oh and that sax!!
Fab blokes. Can't wait until Chisel month!
I’m patiently waiting for 80’s Oz Rock Week 😉
@@adamannesley5794 Mondo Rock make it?
COLD chisels are used to cut through hard materials like metal or masonry. They are often used to cut or shape metal when the stock is thick and where other tools, like a hacksaw or tin snips, would be unsuitable
The angels were another great Aussie band that never got the recognition overseas.
Shhhh just did countdown for Xmas and am actually THIS MOMENT editing something f'ing amazing
They formed in Adelaide during September 1973 on the initiative of guitarist/singer Ian Moss. In the beginning, the band used a different name for every performance. After they used the name of the Don Walker song "Cold Chisel" for one particular performance, the name stuck.
Funny how things work out
Listening to this on a Saturday night & it makes me want to go walking around going on a pub crawl & talking to mates.
You should do a Breakfast at Sweethearts week. The best place after a night out at the cross was Harry's Café de Wheels. pie and mushie peas.
Love your channel great stuff
Could do with that this morning. Sounds just the ticket
G'day Mates a cold chisel tool is a chisel that is for use on metal such as bolts removal and metal plates
