    The median age of the population in Australia is about 38 years old. Farnsy found fame in about 1967 and Barnsy in about 1974. We have, quite literally, grown up listening to these two sing. We thought it was normal.

      Crazy version of “Wild Thing” with Jimmy Barnes. I was opening with my band for Cheap Trick here in Oz many years ago and wild thing was coming through the PA at soundcheck, and Robin asked if I knew who the vocalist was? I said, “Barnesy” , and both Robin and Rick, replied with, “Oh you mean god!”
      So Jimmy’s reputation had already circulated in industry circles in the US.

    When you research Jimmy Barnes, he was dual lead singer (with Ian Moss "Mossey to us Aussies") of Cold Chisel ( I would recommend Bow River live at Ringside). For true Barnsey check out Working Class Man.
    The guitarist in this, is Johnny Diesel, an accomplished singer, song writer and muso in his own right, and also Jimmy Barnes brother-in-law ( married to beautiful sisters), so you will see Diesel in many Barnsey clips.
    A lot of our Aussie singers colab together, so you'll also find Barnsey/Tina Turner, Barnsey/INXS, Farnsey/Olivia NJ, Farnsey/Human Nature, Farnsey/Anthony Warlow, Farnsey/Stevie Wonder and many more.

    John Farnham been recording and performing in Australia for over 50 years. He has vast experience with stage and live audiences from pubs to concert halls. He is our National Treasure. His immense natural talent and scallywag lovable personality has endeared him to millions. And I am one. He has been declared Cancer cleared recently. God Bless him and his family. He has given so much love from himself to the Australian people. Through good and bad times. Thank you John Farnham. I was 10 when he put out his first single in the 60s called Sadie. My Mum was a cleaning lady and to me as a child this song was recognising my dear Mum for all her hard work. 🩷

      Jimmy Barnes and Johnny Diesel the guitarist(real name Mark Lazotte) are brother in laws they married sisters. Jimmy and Farnsey go back a long time and are great friends. Jimmy helped Diesel break into Australian music telling him “get off my couch and make your own record, you’re too good to be a session guitarist or bit player, you have it all”. 35 years later they’re all still very close. Was glad to hear the other day Jimmy speaking on local radio that John Farnham was recovering well from mouth cancer and still is hopeful to be able to sing again.

    In the pantheon of Australian rock, I'd put Jimmy's band Cold Chisel at No 2 just behind AC/DC in terms of impact. I was still in single figures when Chisel disbanded but it was impossible to not hear their music growing up. All of the members of Cold Chisel were song writers, and Barnes and Ian Moss had successful solo careers. Farnham regularly performed When the War Was Over in his live shows, which was a Cold Chisel song written by drummer Steve Prestwich, who was in the Little River band at the same time as Farnham

    Personally, I've never been a fan of gruff, screechy voices, I know some people love it, but my ears find it too grating, what's always stood out about John is that even at his most gritty, there's still plenty of pure tone and control mixed in there. Love him so much.

    Some puritans don't consider this "live", as the music for this was prerecorded, although the vocals were live. Still, vocally, I think it is the best recording of their live vocals.

      I saw Jimmy at the Largs Pier Hotel a time or two when I was around ten years old...I used to sneak around the hotel all the time.
      I didn't hear him sing there when I was there and to be honest I wasn't into music yet anyway...I didn't know who he was at the time either until years later.

    As we Aussies have long asserted, had Farnham been around in the Internet Age, he'd have been treated like the male Whitney Houston. He was simply a couple of decades too early for the exposure his inimitable voice certainly deserved.

      But on the bright side, he got to live an amazing life, with the peak of his performance years in the 80s and 90s in Australia - no phones, no social media, audiences who paid attention to the music and appreciated solos from the musicians on stage, who adored him for the phenomenon that he was and is, and who also let him lead a private and happy life with his family and local community. Honestly, I imagine John would choose the life he had over the things that fame in the age of the internet entails anyway!

    • @shoahkhan5670
      @shoahkhan5670 Месяц назад

      ​@@Saan42 Actually, he was rejected for a long time, due to the cabaret-type performances he started out doing (example: "Sadie, The Cleaning Lady"); robbing him of many of what could have been his most fruitful years and, certainly, some of his most formative years. Also, the sheer lack of exposure of his era really did do more to stymie his rise, than to protect him from any potential of being turned into a manufactured "pop star". Lastly, much to my dismay (albeit, a conspicuous and ironic lack of shock), it turns out that he was a life long, heavy smoker (as well as performed in many smoke filled venues in his early years); which, in recent years (and likely "lubricated" by a certain experimental concoction that also took the life of his long-time friend and producer), landed him with career-ending throat cancer.

    You wanna check out Jimmy Barnes singing with his band Cold Chisel. One of the greatest Australian bands ever. When you do, be sure to take note of their guitarist/vocalist Ian Moss, who sang lead vocal on quite a few of their tunes. Ian’s smooth soulful vocals are a fantastic compliment to Jimmy’s gravelly belts… Ian is also a killer guitarist!
    Edit: I’d especially recommend this one: ruclips.net/video/y2by810nulE/видео.htmlsi=KDF-KgSU0kvEr87d
    This is listed as the "official video" of Bow River, but it is a live performance from their "last stand" concert when the band was breaking up in 1983. Yes, the band broke up 40 years ago this year! They have since rebanded, thank God! It is one of their best and well know songs, and it really showcases both Ian and Jimmy’s great vocals - the whole band is on fire in this clip!

    THESE MEN and many more from the Aussie rock n roller landscape are responsible for the bursting of many a ovary over the years creating a relative fireworks of youthful awakening of lust and love! The 70's 80's and 90's is the musical score of the best years of my life, and nothing now can even compare. Where men were men and wore mullets like a lions mane!!! Dragon, Cold Chisel, INXS, ACDC, Hoodoo Gurus's, Men At Work, Divinyls, Crowded House, Hunters and Collectors, Choir Boys, Mental as Anything, and so much more ... but these two .. the cream of the top!!! The best female singers and back up singers in my humble opinion are Vika and Linda Bull with Black Sorrows another awesome Aussie band Chained to the wheel and Never Let Me Go .. get the live clips .. these sisters are just AWESOME .. and love BLACK SORROWS .. sigh
