They got absolutely hammered making this video. Jimmy said in an interview that when they had finished filming they bundled John into the limo but when the driver asked him where he lived he couldn'tremember.
People knew Jimmy to be a heavy drinker in his early Chisel Days but John with his squeaky clean image could drink him under the table. The lads liked a drink.and it didn't affect their voices at all.
This song was a major part of Jimmy Barnes's pivot to soul after being Australia's biggest selling rock and roll star for over a decade. And it proved to be massively successful for him. And John Farnham is just the GOAT. He went along for the ride with this track.
You guys really need to check out "Cold Chisel". That's the band Jimmy Barnes used to be in. Try some of the following. Bow River - live Ringside 2003 Georgia - live last stand Wild thing - live When the war is over - live ringside 2003. I'm pretty sure you guys will love them
I'm sure I just punched out a tear watching this and I not sure why,, must be getting soft Barnsey and John F are older than me not sure about Diesel though Have their albums was there to watch East Album Tour Concert at the Darwin Amphitheatre in 1980 jumped the fence lol ( should have paid ),, all 3 are amazing those 70s and 80s Aye,,, We only get to do it once though and that is a Shite thing to do to a man Aye.
... And down the rabbit hole you go... But listen to them live. Always, listen to them live. These are TRUE performers... They don't NEED the extra technology to make their voices MORE perfect.
John, Jimmy and guitarist Mark (also known as Diesel) are great friends - and it shows. Jimmy and Mark are brother-in-laws through their respective wives.
As good as this official video is, at least 2 of the live performances are even better......live is when the guitarist, Jonhhny Diesel ( aka Mark Lizotte ), joins them on vocals for a brilliant acapella finnish.
@@Zorbacles There are 2 Hey Hey videos from different nights .... .the 2nd one appears to be a special occasion and not in the usual studio......from memory, I think it could even be on a proper stage. ?
i love how i am always surprised by how great they sound together and harmonize. hearing separately you would never guess. and whenever they sing together they always sound like they having fun. guess 2 professionals that respect each other, and total confidence in their own stardom.
Always, always do Aussie artists LIVE!! There are at least 2 other live versions of this brilliant song which really shows their mateship and talent which are sooo much better than this studio version.
G'day again guys👋👋 You can never go wrong with Jimmy or John 🙂 The guitarist is 'Diesel' aka Mark Lazotte. He was an 80s child with his band Johnny Diesel and The Injectors.(also,he is married to Jimmy's wifes sister) For a young Diesel, checkout Cry in Shame from 1989👍👍 then move on to his other hits like- Tip of My Tongue, Never Miss Your Water, 15 Feet of Snow, Come to Me.... ✌️❤️
Talking of Australian artists performing together, you should check out John Farnham and Olivia Newton John from The Main Event Concert singing Please Don't Ask Me; this performance is pure theatre, and a beautiful version of John's romantic ballad.
From the same concert, John tries his hand at opera with Australia's Phantom Anthony Warlow. Look out for Anthony's Frank Spencer impersonation, a tribute to the original Phantom Michael Crawford.
I grew up on these two guys, they were regulars in my hometown Melbourne Australia and whilst we loved them we had no idea how truly outstanding they were as we assumed people,from OS would be better. I dare anyone to sing like Jimmy, he’s off chops. Johnny is an artist
I think they both got really drunk doing this one together 😆. I love this song as they are my two fave singers. I also love Mark Lizotte/Johnny Diesel’s voice (guitarist). I also love Jimmy as the lead singer of classic Aussie rock band Cold Chisel
You really need to see a live performance of this song where it’s performed as a trio with John, Jimmy & Diesel (guitarist). The Hey, Hey It’s Saturday version is (imho) the best but all the live performances are incredible
Great song, great performers but you really need to watch one of the live versions of this, and anything from John and Jimmy, but in particular John , always watch live performances where possible, simply epic live.
Noooooooooooooooo! Wrong video ! The best one is of this song sung LIVE on stage by them is at the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards before the cream of the Aussie entertainment business. It is sensational !!! On the ARIA awards video, their friendly energy is electric and their singing work, particularly John Farnham's vocal gymnastics, is amazing !!!. (Even Jimmy admits that John is the greater artist!) PLEASE check it out because you will sooo be denied the pleasure of it if you do not. I'm waiting in anticipation. Also, you will always be surprised with John's singing as he sings in over 20 genres - from soft ballads to really hard rock and everything in between. The man is a vocal genius! ( I like the way you deliver your videos to us. )
Great reaction guys but with Australian artists you always react to the live version please, I promise you will be much happier and it really does show their talent in its rawest form. Thanks for sharing
I like to make the other Aussies jealous every time this is reacted to by pointing out that I've seen it live. Twice, because I also saw Jimmy perform it with Diesel.
You guys have gotta check out Jimmy with Cold Chisel doing "Bow River" live at Ringside. One of the greatest performances anywhere , anytime by anyone . Epic
This a Sam and Dave cover song from 1966. They were an R &B duet. Dave has passed but Sam is now 88 . Sam and Jimmy did a duet Soothe Me. I believe it was done 2021 or 2022. Let's not forget Johnny Diesel the guitarist ( Jimmy's brother inlaw too) John Farnham can sing anything from pop to opera. All of Jimmy's and John's reaction must be live as their performances are a show in themselves.
John also did a duet with Anthony Warlow, a top notch opera singer, Granada and they make it fun. Both are talented freaks can't go wrong with either Barnsey or Farnsey. Diesel is the next gen he can sing too.
Yes, they are good friends, and they are both still married to their one true love that they found in their youths. The guitarist is jimmy’s brother in law diesel.
Awesome reactions,as always 👏. ..am not tryna takeaway the fire from Barnsey and Farnsey, but just hinting here. Guitarist ,Johnny Diesel , has some cruissey numbers up hes belt.. Try explore, you won't regret it 😀.. ... Once again, luv yr reactions 🙏..... Cheerio from Down Under 🌺
They both are ridiculously powerful, and rarely get a chance to stretch out when they're doing a duet because they have to pull back so they don't overpower. Another example where one of them gets to go full out is Jimmy's duet with Tina Turner - 'Simply the Best'. For John, it's probably his duet with Musical Theater singer Anthony Warlow - 'Grenada'.
Healing prayers for John Farhnam. He had to undergo a 12-hour surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his mouth which required jaw reconstruction. That was in August 2022. As of September 2023 he is cancer free.
I can't remember the name of the song, but it's off 'The Lost Boys' soundtrack, with Jimmy Barnes and INXS, an awesome song. You should check it out. Cheers.
You just have to check out John farnham singing when the war is over from a live show called the last time, its from 2003. Not together with jimmy barnes. Singing SOLO. That performence is definetly one of the best ive heard with him.
I just know you guys would love Cold Chisel’s Bow River live in 2003, Barnsey was the lead singer of the band but Ian Moss the guitarist is also awesome
They both have covered so many music genre, particularly Jouhn who yes has done Pop Rock, but you should hear is covers of ACDC (Long way to the top) and Led Zeppelin (Black dog - sung as a sound check before a concert), and maybe with Olivia Newton John (Please don't ask me) but there are so many more and fortunately done Live and in concert!
To see two other aspects of John's work check out a duet with Olivia Newton John singing 'Please Don't Ask Me' from the Main Event Concert and also his Opera/Comedy piece with Anthony Warlow from the same concert. Gives you a taste of his many talents.
Thanks for reacting, and glad you enjoyed! I'd only say, please, do yourself and your audience a favour and always listen to John Farnham live, it's so much better! Anything from the Chain Reaction concert or the concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are the places to start if you get a song of his requested. Trust me, you'll be glad you did, just so much of a better vibe than studio stuff. :) Here is a live version of this song that is much better - you might want to watch it even for yours own enjoyment if you enjoyed the video clip: ruclips.net/video/8gzH9qk8cOc/видео.html
Diesel on guitar is a must view. The live versions of this song feature him vocally towards the end and give a glimpse of how good he is too. Certainly not out of place amongst Jimmy and John. Cry in Shame from when he was a part of Johnny Diesel and the Injectors would be a great start. ruclips.net/video/UwLVHsg6OhM/видео.html
This video is ok but these guys are at their best live! For your own entertainment watch the “heh heh it’s Saturday” version of this. Amazing acapella ending with John, Jim and Diesel finishing with no instruments.
Anything with these two singers is absolutely OK by me. My fellow compatriots in Australia have been spoilt for years by hearing these guys LIVE over a period of decades so they just wish for you to have the same privilege. John I hope will sing many times over the years ahead. Aussies need his uplifting personality, hell even if he couldn't sing anymore I would go to a show with him just on stage cracking his silly jokes and incredible personality.
Barnsey, Farnsey and a splash of Diesel will create fire! Sooo good.
Their live performance on "Hey Hey it's Saturday " is even better
John can sing around 20 different genres of music. They are both awesome human beings. We’re so lucky here in Australia.😊👍🏼❤️🇦🇺
They got absolutely hammered making this video. Jimmy said in an interview that when they had finished filming they bundled John into the limo but when the driver asked him where he lived he couldn'tremember.
People knew Jimmy to be a heavy drinker in his early Chisel Days but John with his squeaky clean image could drink him under the table. The lads liked a drink.and it didn't affect their voices at all.
Especially when it comes to Australian artists, ALWAYS react to LIVE performances; this video is great, but with live performances you get a lot more.
SOUL OVERLOAD from our two Aussie Legends. Doesn't get much better than when these two sing together. And Yes they are very good freinds. ❤❤❤
One of my favorites is John Farnham with Olivia Newton John " Please don't ask me" the live versions is incredible!!
Oh yes, so agree!
Always Brings A Tear 2 My Eye🧡
This song was a major part of Jimmy Barnes's pivot to soul after being Australia's biggest selling rock and roll star for over a decade. And it proved to be massively successful for him.
And John Farnham is just the GOAT. He went along for the ride with this track.
Clearly Barnes was the better oneon this track. Maybe because John vasn't as used to that style.
You guys really need to check out "Cold Chisel". That's the band Jimmy Barnes used to be in. Try some of the following.
Bow River - live Ringside 2003
Georgia - live last stand
Wild thing - live
When the war is over - live ringside 2003.
I'm pretty sure you guys will love them
Hell yes!
Please do live versions you guys are missing out these 2 are great and should be watched live always
Ok Karen.
Only Australian singers could smile and laugh with each other during a duet lol
I'm sure I just punched out a tear watching this and I not sure why,, must be getting soft Barnsey and John F are older than me not sure about Diesel though Have their albums was there to watch East Album Tour Concert at the Darwin Amphitheatre in 1980 jumped the fence lol ( should have paid ),, all 3 are amazing those 70s and 80s Aye,,, We only get to do it once though and that is a Shite thing to do to a man Aye.
... And down the rabbit hole you go... But listen to them live.
Always, listen to them live. These are TRUE performers... They don't NEED the extra technology to make their voices MORE perfect.
So proud that my generation put me in a position to meet one of the people we admire in person.
John, Jimmy and guitarist Mark (also known as Diesel) are great friends - and it shows. Jimmy and Mark are brother-in-laws through their respective wives.
And that boys and girls is how it's done
As good as this official video is, at least 2 of the live performances are even better......live is when the guitarist, Jonhhny Diesel ( aka Mark Lizotte ), joins them on vocals for a brilliant acapella finnish.
agree. I particularly like the 'Hey, Hey It's Saturday' version.
Yes!@@carokat1111
Diesel also just happens to be Barnseys brother in law.
@@carokat1111 the hey hey version is a backing track. The ARIA awards one is the best
@@Zorbacles There are 2 Hey Hey videos from different nights .... .the 2nd one appears to be a special occasion and not in the usual studio......from memory, I think it could even be on a proper stage. ?
Farnsey and Barnsey are Australian rock'n'roll royalty
Two Aussie legends and best of mates
i love how i am always surprised by how great they sound together and harmonize.
hearing separately you would never guess.
and whenever they sing together they always sound like they having fun.
guess 2 professionals that respect each other, and total confidence in their own stardom.
Diesel , the guitarist is Jimmys brother in law and an absolute phenomenon of a singer as well, in his own right.
Such great legendary singers. Soul overload in this one
Always, always do Aussie artists LIVE!! There are at least 2 other live versions of this brilliant song which really shows their mateship and talent which are sooo much better than this studio version.
Farnham’s vocals are always incredible…!
G'day again guys👋👋
You can never go wrong with Jimmy or John 🙂
The guitarist is 'Diesel' aka Mark Lazotte. He was an 80s child with his band Johnny Diesel and The Injectors.(also,he is married to Jimmy's wifes sister)
For a young Diesel, checkout Cry in Shame from 1989👍👍 then move on to his other hits like- Tip of My Tongue, Never Miss Your Water, 15 Feet of Snow, Come to Me....
✌️❤️
Goosebumps all over. I love John Farnham so much, he is just unbelievable 💕
I have been lucky enough to have seen these 2 legends live many times.
So much back to my childhood and always love hearing it
I love this official video. Unlike some I don't always need it live.
😂 👍
I agree...this video is great..perfect vocals from them both....I do also like the live versions for that bit of extra from John especially
Yes, They are the GOATs ! Thanks for taking the time !
And Norman Gunston Aye!
Only listen to farnsey live. I really enjoyed this
You must, MUST do Aussie artists live. They really bring it with an audience. But love your reaction
Name a genre - John Farnham can sing it like he was born to.
You need to play the live version of this song, it's amazing
So many great live performances always always live for these two our Australian treasures ❤❤❤
My favourite version - 2 blokes at close of business with whiskey and cards, and guitarist, conversing about their newfound theory. Brilliant.
You should take a look at Jimmy fronting his band Cold chisel, Bow River live ringside tour 2003. Totally epic.
John Farnham has the greatest vocal range of any male I know of. He is on his own planet in that regard. No one comes close.
Talking of Australian artists performing together, you should check out John Farnham and Olivia Newton John from The Main Event Concert singing Please Don't Ask Me; this performance is pure theatre, and a beautiful version of John's romantic ballad.
From the same concert, John tries his hand at opera with Australia's Phantom Anthony Warlow. Look out for Anthony's Frank Spencer impersonation, a tribute to the original Phantom Michael Crawford.
you have to hear John Farnham singing Black Dog during a sound check...you will be amazed
I grew up on these two guys, they were regulars in my hometown Melbourne Australia and whilst we loved them we had no idea how truly outstanding they were as we assumed people,from OS would be better. I dare anyone to sing like Jimmy, he’s off chops. Johnny is an artist
Great moment of 3 Aussie guys having a bro moment over a whiskey. Awesome review.
John Farnham can sing any genre of music. So talented!
Brilliant song.
I think they both got really drunk doing this one together 😆. I love this song as they are my two fave singers. I also love Mark Lizotte/Johnny Diesel’s voice (guitarist). I also love Jimmy as the lead singer of classic Aussie rock band Cold Chisel

Great song, great performers but you really need to watch one of the live versions of this, and anything from John and Jimmy, but in particular John , always watch live performances where possible, simply epic live.
Take note of the bottle on the table. Start of song is full and by the end almost empty! Pointed out by John in an interview! Love these two together.
Noooooooooooooooo! Wrong video ! The best one is of this song sung LIVE on stage by them is at the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards before the cream of the Aussie entertainment business. It is sensational !!!

The best one is on Hey Hey it's Saturday.
Great reaction guys but with Australian artists you always react to the live version please, I promise you will be much happier and it really does show their talent in its rawest form. Thanks for sharing
So glad I found your channel, albeit a few months late. I love your total engagement and immersion into the songs. Great reaction 👏
I like to make the other Aussies jealous every time this is reacted to by pointing out that I've seen it live. Twice, because I also saw Jimmy perform it with Diesel.
I’ve also seen it live twice 😆
Great reaction such a great song Aussie legends
Love your reaction! So many more from these two guys. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
The live version from hey hey it’s Saturday, would have been the better way to go. Great reaction
Absolutely the best version
Thank you so much, just love listening to you guys. Cheers from Sydney.
Awesome! Thank you!
You guys should check out Jimmy barnes singing with cold chisel. He also does solo stuff plus duets (most popular with INXS).
You should only ever do John in Live performances 👌🏼👌🏼😘
You guys have gotta check out Jimmy with Cold Chisel doing "Bow River" live at Ringside.
One of the greatest performances anywhere , anytime by anyone . Epic
This a Sam and Dave cover song from 1966. They were an R &B duet. Dave has passed but Sam is now 88 . Sam and Jimmy did a duet Soothe Me. I believe it was done 2021 or 2022. Let's not forget Johnny Diesel the guitarist ( Jimmy's brother inlaw too) John Farnham can sing anything from pop to opera.

Great Sounds🎙 Transcend The Years🧡Great 2 See The Waters🌊Of The World🌏Still Connect 👍Cheers🍻 From🇦🇺
John also did a duet with Anthony Warlow, a top notch opera singer, Granada and they make it fun.
Both are talented freaks can't go wrong with either Barnsey or Farnsey.
Diesel is the next gen he can sing too.

Cheerio from Down Under 🌺
When john closes his eyes, it is as if the music is taking him over.
Next up: Jimmy Barnes and Michael Hutchence from INXS for the song, "Good Times"
I'll go along with that
Hell yeah! 👍...then Jimmy & Tina Turner, or/& John & Tom Jones👍
Jimmy’s album Soul Deep was covers of his favourite songs
Now please do Jimmy with Cold Chisel doing ‘Wild Thing’ 💥
They both are ridiculously powerful, and rarely get a chance to stretch out when they're doing a duet because they have to pull back so they don't overpower.
Another example where one of them gets to go full out is Jimmy's duet with Tina Turner - 'Simply the Best'.

Its called 'Good Times'. One of my favs :)
Great song for sure, me like...@@veaton77
Good Times is a cover from the Aussie band called the Easybeats. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
SOUL ;-)
Listen there albums songs both got class
You just have to check out John farnham singing when the war is over from a live show called the last time, its from 2003. Not together with jimmy barnes. Singing SOLO. That performence is definetly one of the best ive heard with him.
Past time for you guys to check out Jimmy with Cold Chise but please do some live stuff!!
Aussie Legends
Another amazing aussie singer is guy sabastion try his song standing with you
Hmmm indeed yeah theyve been mates forever, not sure how much Jimmy you've listened too. But two words..Cold Chisel.
Literally can't watch this reaction not done live
I just know you guys would love Cold Chisel’s Bow River live in 2003, Barnsey was the lead singer of the band but Ian Moss the guitarist is also awesome
The guitar player is named Diesel. He's Jimmy Barnes brother in law
Try john with Black Dog no video, and jimmy with Wild thing.
Gotta love Farnsy & Barnsy (with Barney’s son in law Diesel on guitar)!!
They both have covered so many music genre, particularly Jouhn who yes has done Pop Rock, but you should hear is covers of ACDC (Long way to the top) and Led Zeppelin (Black dog - sung as a sound check before a concert), and maybe with Olivia Newton John (Please don't ask me) but there are so many more and fortunately done Live and in concert!
This is a cover of the 1966 original by Sam and Dave.
Please don't forget John Diesel on guitar. He's had number 1 hit as well....
To see two other aspects of John's work check out a duet with Olivia Newton John singing 'Please Don't Ask Me' from the Main Event Concert and also his Opera/Comedy piece with Anthony Warlow from the same concert. Gives you a taste of his many talents.
Australia has plenty talent 😊
jimmys brother in law and another aussie icon is on guitar diesel
FARNSEY and BARNSEY 👍👍👍👍👍

Here is a live version of this song that is much better - you might want to watch it even for yours own enjoyment if you enjoyed the video clip: ruclips.net/video/8gzH9qk8cOc/видео.html
The guitarist is also Jimmy Barns brother in law
That's Joe Bonimassa on the next table, playing lead guitar.
John and Jimmy are good friends, even to the point that their wives and children are friends.
Diesel on guitar is a must view. The live versions of this song feature him vocally towards the end and give a glimpse of how good he is too. Certainly not out of place amongst Jimmy and John. Cry in Shame from when he was a part of Johnny Diesel and the Injectors would be a great start. ruclips.net/video/UwLVHsg6OhM/видео.html
Must do Jimmy Barnes & Joe Bonamassa Stone Cold 🔥🔥🔥
@roberthendershot, they have done stone cold mate👍🏻
That's their 1st Jimmy reaction
The guitarist was Diesel who is Jimmy's brother in law and can also belt out a tune.
I love them both but for me John is a class above Jimmy with his vocals. Prop's to Diesel on the guitar, a great artist in his own right. :)
This video is ok but these guys are at their best live! For your own entertainment watch the “heh heh it’s Saturday” version of this. Amazing acapella ending with John, Jim and Diesel finishing with no instruments.

Please go and check out one of the live versions. Compared to the live versions this one that you reacted to is average.
