A guy I worked with has a son, he was 12 at the time and his fave band is noiseworks. My mate emailed them asking for any guitar tips for his son and got a response same day asking if they were free that weekend. Long story short the band spent a Sunday arvo showing a 12 year old a real studio and some guitar tips out of the kindness of their hearts. A bunch of great blokes 😊
Such a sad song dedicated to his first girlfriend who died in an automobile accident. "I think of you, such a lonely life" "take me back to YOUUUUU" Rest in peace Stuart Fraser NOISEWORKS lead guitarist.
I never knew that either but it was song that played as isaid goodbye for the last time to someone and never knew that would be the last time i would see him .
With Australia Day coming up on the 26th, add this one to your Aussie Day playlist. We will hear this song 25 times on that day and we don't mind one little bit. Cheers
This is one of those songs that just get you MOVING and singing, regardless of where you are! Please delve more into Noiseworks/Jon Stevens...such talent! Love watching your vids, thanks, guys!
My favourite Noiseworks song! "No Lies" is another one from the same album as this that I love. We were so spoiled growing up on NZ in the 80s. All of the music was as good as this. And then the close community where all the Aus artists and Kiwi artists worked together...so good.
This is the sound of classic '80s Aussie rock. 'Touch' is the other true classic of theirs that you still hear on the radio all the time today. Jimmy Barnes' 'I'd Die To Be With You Tonight' is another one, but there are so many.
I knew Stuart from the age of thirteen when I was friends with his brother Warwick (drummer - Manhattan Blonde,a local Gosford band, Screaming Tribesmen, Feather) Spent much time hanging out with them at their Point Clare home. I was so sad to hear Stuart had passed away - he went from one hell of a talented kid to one of Australia's best ever - RIP 🌹
Mmm Jon! 💕 He had a bit of swagger & an awesome voice too! 2:37 “Ask me what’s right about this song - Everything!’” 👏 Seated dancing together - Love it!!
Memories.... Listening to noiseworks when driving around in Oz back in -87. Later in -89 ( I think?) these guys came to sweden to play some conserts. Just epic.
I bought my first proper girlfriend the Noiseworks album for her birthday 1987, I had just met her and looking back I was a cheap bugger.I was about 22 and on crap apprentice wages. Noiseworks were huge in the late 80's out here.
Love Jon Stevens. Have seen him live several times in the last 10 years or so. He still has it. My favorite is MILLIE. Ssoo much emotion. As someone else has commented he did a fantastic job as Judas in JCSS.
Dei here. When CD players first became a thing, and we finally got one, as a kid, I rode my bike down to the local video store (the only place in town with CDs) and spent all my pocketmoney on my very first CD. They only had a selection of about 20 albums, but the moment I saw the Noiseworks debut album, I knew that would be my first CD! Such memories. It takes me back... ;) Oh, and before that, my first cassette album from a band... Do Re Mi's Domestic Harmony.
I remember getting up on Saturdays in the 80's just to watch videohits and the top 40 countdowns. These are the songs of my youth, Noiseworks, Jimmy Barnes, Choirboys, Icehouse, Midnight Oil, John Farnham. So many great memories. Keep them coming.🤘👍
Just one of the great bands Australia has produced , the period from the 60's to the 90's , had so many great bands we really did not need overseas groups we had the best here
I saw these guys (along with Icehouse and Simple Minds) earlier this year. Noiseworks blew me away live and John Stevens' voice is still just as powerful nearly 40 years later.
@@stuarthancock571 I actually thought Terrence Trent D'Arby was a great choice, but after a brief stint in the band he wanted to go back to his solo career. Never heard from him since.
@@stuarthancock571 the guys couldn’t keep up with the younger JD who wanted to party like a rockstar. The older guys were settled and over that part of it.
Hey guys - have you ever asked yourself the question - how the hell has a little country of Australia, produced so many quality musicians, entertainers, rock bands, singers ??? Cos we Aussies are AWESOME!
OMG the reaction from you two Dancing away with this great Band noiseworks . John can belt out any song such a gem his voice live incredible. (Another song Hot Chilly Women) You hear his vocal range in this song . Love how your enjoying our Aussie bands
My 4 favorite Noiseworks songs are: The Letter, Keep me Running, Live and Die, Day Will Come. Take Me Back is not far behind. They were easily the most powerful and emotional band of their era.
I’m glad you love Ozzy/Kiwi pub rock. Touring to get your chops. Drummer, singer and bass player. Whenever Noiseworks were somewhere I was I was there. I played/jammed with, worked roady/rigger partied with many bands before they got huge in Ozzy. 70s 80s
Watching these clips and Kids enjoying reminds me of some Wild Amazing times, still have no idea how majority of us are still alive the shit we got up to back in 70s and 80s.
I know this is your reaction video and I don’t have to watch it, but I love hearing Susie’s takes and I’m loving your delving into Aussie and 80/90s music that I grew up with, but, Travis, please listen to the lyrics 😢. The moment there is any beat at all - regardless of what the other instruments are doing - you start bopping and grinning, sometimes pausing to say how happy the song makes you before you’ve heard a word, and then you continue grinning and bopping while the lyrics talk of (in this case) saying goodbye as you drove away and I never saw you again BECAUSE YOU DIED. Maybe it’s a generational thing but anger, despair, loneliness, grief, unrequited love, bittersweet nostalgia - these can all be drum-pounding emotions, especially with skilled, real instruments and powerful vocals. Just… slow down, relax, and take a mo’ (as we say in Oz) to let it all hit you before you bop? Then, if you still wanna bop, then the fault is in the song, but give it chance? 😊
I just paused at 5:27 and saw Hot Chilli Woman in the suggestions. If you haven't already, you've GOT to do it! Gonna stalk your playlists to check now! Edit: I'm back. YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT!!! If you have you haven't posted, which is fine, I just know, from what I've seen of you two, "Hot Chilli Woman" will make your month. It will end up in your regular playlist, and you will want to thank me. Just remember to hydrate well beforehand!
When I go see my fave Band, @ the Club, They always open up ,with this Song. & When they do, it's like a Volcano Has just Erupted.. I can't control myself, no inhibitions, I'm just going Nutts, up on the Dance Floor...I go ape Shit!! I love this song ,for Evaaaaah!!! Yo he can, Saaaaaaannnng!!! Go Noise Works... John Stevens ( lead Vocals). 🙏🎤🎶🎹🎸🤗👏👏
John Stevens is a phenomenal singer. Saw him at a festival at an out of city country gig and the outdoor venue lost power to the stage. This maniac and the guitarist jumped into the crowd and sang acapella for a whole set projecting to the whole crowd like a boss.
I had the very same reaction as you’re good lady. Brilliant voice brilliant song great lyrics PS Your lady is beautiful (in case neither of you knew that lol) X
I watched him do this live a few months ago. It was epic. Still has a great voice (could even be heard over all the screaming middle aged women, like...ahem...me heh) 😀
I can give you one reason why this sounds familiar to you. The Kings of Leon singer sounds exactly like John Stevens from Noiseworks when he hits certain notes. Almost a carbon copy.
You should check out noiseworks - miles n miles.... The song is killer, just keeps building n building and when u didnt think there was anymore room to go... yeah it goes there.
I want to see your reaction to another Top Aussie band , The Church with their classic song " Unguarded Moment" which is a Banger times 20, in the Punk genre but a hidden classic.. Do yourselves a Favour Trav and Suzy and crank it out.. Peace ✌️ Love and Rock Out
Play Hot Chilli Woman by Noise Works.. please! from Shayne in Perth Western Australia.. the edge of the world.. love you guys! Keep up the awesome reactions🤘
A guy I worked with has a son, he was 12 at the time and his fave band is noiseworks. My mate emailed them asking for any guitar tips for his son and got a response same day asking if they were free that weekend. Long story short the band spent a Sunday arvo showing a 12 year old a real studio and some guitar tips out of the kindness of their hearts. A bunch of great blokes 😊
Guys she can’t take him back as she got killed in a car wreck on the way home after just being with him. It’s a sad song and a true story.
Such a sad song dedicated to his first girlfriend who died in an automobile accident. "I think of you, such a lonely life" "take me back to YOUUUUU" Rest in peace Stuart Fraser NOISEWORKS lead guitarist.
Holy crap
I never knew that
(The song makes me emotional anyways)
But even more now
😢
I never knew that either but it was song that played as isaid goodbye for the last time to someone and never knew that would be the last time i would see him .
It's great to see Noiseworks getting a reaction.
RIP Stuart Fraser.
Great guitarist!
Wait, what?!? When? (Or did I just forget that?)
I didn't know about Stuart...great player....so sad..RIP
With Australia Day coming up on the 26th, add this one to your Aussie Day playlist. We will hear this song 25 times on that day and we don't mind one little bit. Cheers

“Take me back to you
It's been a long time” 🎤 🎶
Another great reaction and special shout out to Dei for the constant awesome Aussie music requests. 🎶
A great Australian rock band, with this song off their mind-blowing first album that is full of hits!
I think they're Kiwi's
Australian bands make cold winter days feel warm and sunny
This guy Still tours Still pulls a huge crowd , doesn’t disappoint - hats off to a tireless artist 🤷🏻♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My favourite Noiseworks song! "No Lies" is another one from the same album as this that I love. We were so spoiled growing up on NZ in the 80s. All of the music was as good as this. And then the close community where all the Aus artists and Kiwi artists worked together...so good.

Jimmy Barnes' 'I'd Die To Be With You Tonight' is another one, but there are so many.
Yeah the song has a sad meaning. Was a close friend of his that left his house and had fatal car accident. Great song though!
I knew Stuart from the age of thirteen when I was friends with his brother Warwick (drummer - Manhattan Blonde,a local Gosford band, Screaming Tribesmen, Feather)
Spent much time hanging out with them at their Point Clare home.
I was so sad to hear Stuart had passed away - he went from one hell of a talented kid to one of Australia's best ever - RIP 🌹
so many memories.....I wanna go back to the 80's and the way it was
Mmm Jon! 💕
He had a bit of swagger &
an awesome voice too!
2:37 “Ask me what’s right about this song - Everything!’” 👏
Seated dancing together - Love it!!
Memories.... Listening to noiseworks when driving around in Oz back in -87. Later in -89 ( I think?) these guys came to sweden to play some conserts. Just epic.
Jon Stevens has an incredible voice - you should hear him on the Jesus Christ Superstar musical soundtrack. Super talented.
Noise works song “touch” is a really great hit..keep up the great work guys ❤️
I bought my first proper girlfriend the Noiseworks album for her birthday 1987, I had just met her and looking back I was a cheap bugger.I was about 22 and on crap apprentice wages. Noiseworks were huge in the late 80's out here.
Love the 80''s in Australia when these guys released their self titled album...so many memories!!!
Brilliant song and love that you guys loved it, Jon Stevens and Noiseworks. If you listen to the lyrics, the song is about the suicide of a friend.
Love Jon Stevens. Have seen him live several times in the last 10 years or so. He still has it. My favorite is MILLIE. Ssoo much emotion. As someone else has commented he did a fantastic job as Judas in JCSS.
Watching these clips reminds me how the Australian music industry is in decline. We had so much quality back in the day.
Local music is almost dead here. No talent, no stars.
It ain't coming back. 😢
Agreed!
1987 was the year when Aussie musicians dominated the charts.

Still my favourite Noiseworks song. Followed by Hot Chilli Woman. Got it on my Spotify playlist.
I saw these guys (along with Icehouse and Simple Minds) earlier this year. Noiseworks blew me away live and John Stevens' voice is still just as powerful nearly 40 years later.
You guys are the best! I've loved that song ever since it was released. Totally agree with you that it has such a great vibe.
It's about the last time he saw his girlfriend as she drove away in a car and died in a car crash. True story. great song.
THAT is how you write a guitar solo! rest in peace Stuart!
Another great song from Noiseworks is Welcome To The World - very meaningful lyrics behind this one and still relevant today.
lead singer Jon Stevens was one of several frontmen used by INXS after the death of Michael Hutchence. In my opinion, one of the more competent.
I remember him saying that he left because the Farris brothers wouldn't let him write songs for INXS. They wanted to to do it all themselves.
@@RolandDeschain1 Just 1 new album with JD Fortune. Truth is they lost their mojo after Michael died. He wrote all the lyrics.
@@stuarthancock571 I actually thought Terrence Trent D'Arby was a great choice, but after a brief stint in the band he wanted to go back to his solo career.
Never heard from him since.
@@stuarthancock571 the guys couldn’t keep up with the younger JD who wanted to party like a rockstar. The older guys were settled and over that part of it.
@@stuarthancock571 Pretty much. Plus he was a once in a generation performer and singer. Basically impossible to replace
Great to see you discover Noisworks very much the music of my youth. No lies is another great song
John Stevens & Noiseworks, Now we're talkin!
RIP Stuart Fraser, (lead guitar). He played in John Farnham's band for many years.
Hey guys - have you ever asked yourself the question - how the hell has a little country of Australia, produced so many quality musicians, entertainers, rock bands, singers ??? Cos we Aussies are AWESOME!
Hi guys, waited ages for this Aussie band, lead singer is from New Zealand but we claimed him please play, in my youth,and no lies please, thanks,sue
I saw Jon 2 days ago and it was fantastic. His voice is still amazing
Where was he performing?
I remember listening to this song on the school bus when I was in yeas 7 high school back in 1992. Happy days.
Couldn't help but sing along to this song :)
Me too! 👍🇦🇺
That would always get the dance floor going when I was DJ'ing back in the late 80s and early 90s
OMG the reaction from you two Dancing away with this great Band noiseworks . John can belt out any song such a gem his voice live incredible. (Another song Hot Chilly Women)
You hear his vocal range in this song .
Love how your enjoying our Aussie bands
Ok guys, so we’ve discovered Noiseworks. Look out, this is gonna be awesome.😎

My 4 favorite Noiseworks songs are: The Letter, Keep me Running, Live and Die, Day Will Come. Take Me Back is not far behind. They were easily the most powerful and emotional band of their era.
YES!!!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about.
Love watching music artists reaction to other songs 🔥🤘
Our Aussie talent ❤
I’m glad you love Ozzy/Kiwi pub rock. Touring to get your chops. Drummer, singer and bass player. Whenever Noiseworks were somewhere I was I was there. I played/jammed with, worked roady/rigger partied with many bands before they got huge in Ozzy. 70s 80s
Awesome channel, God Bless you both for sharing Australian music. Yoway
One of my favourite bands,seen them live so many times

Hot Chilli Woman, No Lies, Touch. All Awesome songs by Noiseworks
How can you not love Jon Stevens and the guys from Noiseworks , and such a great song
Oz Rock in the 80s was glorious. Just classic after classic.
It also had a renaissance in the late 90s.
I love to watch the joy on you're faces as you watch these video's. :)
after the disco era... Aussies really started getting back to the basics of guitar driven rock...😁
what could we want , noiseworks welcome to the world

Jon Stevens is a New Zealander.
Great voice..
I love watching other artist like you guys listening to and commenting on songs I also love and listen to.
John Stevens is a phenomenal singer. Saw him at a festival at an out of city country gig and the outdoor venue lost power to the stage. This maniac and the guitarist jumped into the crowd and sang acapella for a whole set projecting to the whole crowd like a boss.
Love your comments and reactions guys.
Have always thought he has one of the sexiest singing voices I've ever heard.
Awesome Ozzie Band. So many great tracks by them please do more. Also Hoodoo Gurus a must if you are doing Ozzie bands
NZers ffs...
@@thrusta100 all members except Jon Stevens are Ozzies
The lead guitarist Stuart Frazer was also a guitarist for John Farnham. RIP
your reactions are priceless
He can still belt it out today 👍
There’s a Kings of Leon song that sounds exactly like one of Noiseworks hits. Have a good listen to more Noiseworks music and you will hear it too.
I had the very same reaction as you’re good lady.
Brilliant voice brilliant song great lyrics
PS
Your lady is beautiful (in case neither of you knew that lol)

God I love watching you two. Love your reactions to our Aussie music.
One of my favourite Australian songs ever.

Ian in my 50s now you can take me back to that time more Aussie gold
Love your reaction to my youth
Jon Stevens also had a stint with a little Aussie Band called INXS.

Another Aussie rock legend it should have been in the movie the wedding singer Or a romance movie🤪🤪🤪🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺💪
Another great song from Dei!
You should listen to "No lies", one of their best songs with John Stevens killing it.
Great but heartbreaking song
Love Noiseworks! You guys need to check out their song "touch"
Whoever recommended the song to them should have explained at the outset that she died. This song is grief and loss incarnate.
My Noiseworks favourite ❤🇦🇺💜
Great Aussie band.
I want to see your reaction to another Top Aussie band , The Church with their classic song " Unguarded Moment" which is a Banger times 20, in the Punk genre but a hidden classic.. Do yourselves a Favour Trav and Suzy and crank it out..
Peace ✌️ Love and Rock Out
This song is about someone close to him that has apssed onto heaven guys

Jon Steven and Noiseworks had a Kings of Leon thing going way before the Kings were royalty.
Noiseworks rocks ✌💚🎶🎶
Jon Stevens lead singer. Good rugby league man.
You must react to “No Lies” by Noiseworks, it’s an absolute banger!
Interesting noisewotks and icehouse were or are quintessential Oz and NZ rock add some choirboys or feelers chime in Anzacs
