1st time reaction to Cold Chisel!!

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I had no idea. Great band, crowd, song, made my playlist

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

Cold Chisel - Wild Thing(Live)..yes a Troggs cover..but full on! Others are Khe Sanh, Cheap Wine, Bow River, Saturday Night, Four Walls, Goodbye Astrid.. Goodbye, Choir Girl..... There's WAY too many to mention. Other big Aussie bands that most of the rest of the world haven't heard of are.. The Angels, Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs, Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus, Spy vs Spy(v.spy v.spy)& so many more ........ ✌️🤘

[@Dr_KAP]

@@sandgroperwookiee65also Jimmy Barnes solo stuff like Working class man, Last frontier, driving wheels

[@grandy2875]

​@@sandgroperwookiee65"East" was one of the first albums I ever purchased when I started working full-time, (I'd buy a single every week and an album every month)... every number was great, I think I just about wore the groove smooth on that thing. Wish I still had them all now, they'd be worth a small fortune,,, lost the lot in a house fire about 25 years ago...🥴 🙃🐨🇦🇺

[@lynndally9160]

Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel are the sounds of my teenage years, jimmy is 66 and still doing tours. Legend

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Well you can come here and help me live it. I am doing it all. Thank you for time of your day. See you soon

[@zebedeedoodaah6454]

Soooo good!.👍 Here begins your Aussie Rock Expedition!. Zebedee from Oz.👍

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO yeah so ready to go.!

[@785boats]

To really hear them rock out, have a listen to 'Bow River', from the same show. As Jenny suggested. Sensational. They are one of the biggest bands Australia ever produced.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Looking forward to it. I just showed Cold Chisel to my brother, and he said lets hear them Rock out. I am hoping to get it in tomorrow @785boats . I really appreciate you taking time of your day, means a lot and I mind my manners, LOL, ready for some more New Good Music. Be well

[@785boats]

@@OccasionalOutlaw Cool man. I'll be there.

[@sammy_dog]

@@OccasionalOutlaw then if you really want to hear them rock out check out their cover of an old Troggs song call Wild Thing from the Last Stand concert

[@Dr_KAP]

If you do Bow River make sure you do the 2003 Ringside version . Otherwise you’ll have people telling you to re-do it 😂

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

@@Dr_KAP It is up now hope I got it right, if I have to it again that's ok. Great fn performance.

[@mscinders9449]

I've been front row centre at a Chisel concert and it was freakin AWESOME!!!

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I am jealous, would love to see them live.

[@nicisowter203]

Hi from Australia. I like your take on what you watch and what you said about not asking for money impressed me enough to subscribe. Thanks and enjoy the Australian music experience!

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Agreed 100% , my life Journey is about the people and the music. Love life , live. Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by, means a lot to me. See you soon!

[@wren1960]

Great reaction. You nailed it. Thats exactly what the song is about a broken relationship. I would urge you to continue down the road of Cold Chisel. You will love it. Bow River would be the next. One thing, when though, when doing Aussie artists always do live performances. Cheers 🇦🇺❤️

[@jeremykothe2847]

ringside live version

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

More coming today, thank you so much for kind words and time. See you soon

[@Dr_KAP]

Welcome Occasional Outlaw to the best kept secret in the world: Cold Chisel. Jimmy Barnes (the second guy who sang ) also has a very successful solo career. I think you would love some of his stuff like Last Frontier, Working class man, Driving Wheels. Barnes has one of the best soul -rock voices in the world right now. He’d at least be in the top 5.

[@grandy2875]

Doc, you read my mind and beat me to the keys, babe...😆 Working Class Man and Driving Wheels are 2 of my fave Barnsey tracks, along with anything off the Soul Deep album...😁 🙃🐨🇦🇺

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Were going to do it all, give me some time to work through all of the material , but I want to see and hear it all.

[@carolynh8866]

​@@OccasionalOutlaw well that will keep you busy "forever". It's a very very deep rabbit hole

[@dionwilson3731]

Bow river same concert🔥🔥🔥

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Is this the 03" everyone is asking for? I am on it , thank you kindly

[@h.p.chicken]

I love watching the rest of the world discover our music, especially the classic Oz pub rock. Cold Chisel are the epitome of that genre. Check out Bow River from this same concert, also their cover of Georgia On My Mind (which was pretty much put together on the spot). Go waaaay back to the seventies and have a listen to Breakfast At Sweethearts. Enjoy ✌️

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I am whole heartedly in now. Down the rabbit hole we go. Thank you for the support

[@nicod4660]

Jimmy Barnes Stone Cold pls!! subbing right now, you rock. luv from Oz

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Gave me chills with your kind words. We are doing all Cold Chisel has. Thank you so much

[@MichaelMollard]

You've stumbled across a gold mine of incredible Australian music. I'll always recommend live performances, it's where you will see the connection with the audience. I encourage you to explore Cold Chisel, then Jimmy Barnes (the lead singer) duets with John Farnham (When Something is Wrong with my baby), and then Help, by John Farnham and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.. All live, all great music.. Enjoy the ride 🇦🇺❤️

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I am starting my Journey , love this band

[@greg54321]

You ain't seen nothing yet. Bow River (live 2003) and the best ever version of Wild Thing. Welcome to the Cold Chisel, Aussie Rabbit Hole.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Bow River 03" it is.!

[@Marco-lu2hc]

Grew up listening to these guys, national hero's. Australians went to war along side you guys like we always do, Brothers in arms. Song is about coming back from Vietnam. Enough said Written by the late Stephen Prestwich (awesome 'underated' drummer)

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

That just gave me goosebumps reading your comments, getting back to it today after work is done

[@michaelmayo9048]

Ocational outlaw ...your a genuine nice person , l can tell from your comments at the end of the video ..most of us Aussies are fairdimkum good bloke's to..the lead singer of cold chisel Jimmy barnes has a blues album ..you would like that...cheers mate

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Thank you for the kind words, Aussie nation has been so kind with request and comments, recommendations, I have been learning a lot about Jimmy, and plan to get to it all. Cheers mate.

[@davidhandson2429]

Ian Moss is lead guitarist and also takes lead vocals in many songs as he did in this one. Jimmy Barnes was backing him up in this one but is usually the lead vocalist and has the most incredible voice. Jimmy has had an incredibly successful solo career with something like 16 no1 albums. Could you please check out Jimmy Barnes signing Stone Cold featuring Joe Bonamassa. This is a real blues/Soul kind of song. Jimmy is 58 years old when he did this version of the song Stone Cold but his voice is amazing.

[@marionthompson3365]

Nice reaction. Grew up seeing this band in pubs and venues all over Sydney. Imo our best band ever. Big catalogue with huge variation of songs, all different and unique. Please check out Bow River from same concert.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

You all are awesome, thank you for your time, and help as I start this Journey

[@Reneesillycar74]

Great reaction. It was interesting listening to you describe how you’re running your channel & I’m impressed so I subbed… …plus you did Chisel 🙌🏼😂 I also agree with all these awesome people commenting & recommending a heap of fantastic songs, cheers! ✌🏼

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Those words mean a lot Renee. Thank you kindly, I just want a channel where we can all come together and have some fun. I will hold 1 request in as high regard as a thousand. Be well

[@carolynh8866]

I have just subscribed after watching your reaction to Jimmy ans John Farnham. Youll be interested to know that John Farnham also regularly performs this song at his concerts. He takes it on a different journey which is also crazy good. There's even one concert where Jimmy and John perform it together . Its a beautiful song Cold Chisel Bow River and Wild Thing are 2 must sees

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I plan on getting to it all I really loved bow River and this band is so good I just need a little time and I'm going to go through it all appreciate the info and the time means a lot to me thank you

[@dalewyatt1321]

Great reaction mate , The power , passion and the energy that Cold Chisel bring is unique. Aussie pub rock unique. 🤟✊ We aussies grew up with this music , Enjoy the Chisel rabbit hole. ( there’s plenty to discover ) I enjoyed your take and breakdown of one of the sound tracks of our lives 👍 I subbed 😊

Do they still play Pubs in Australia, I need to come for a visit, just love your country and want to see it.

[@wayback479]

@@OccasionalOutlaw Hey mate, I'm actually going to see Mossy in August not at a pub, its at a theatre in Melbourne . I can't wait for that . I went to a winery gig in the Yarra valley outer Melbourne with about 6-7 bands playing, Barnsey was the headline act but he had to pull out and get his hip replaced. Bummer for me but thats Rock n Roll. I'm loving the honest and down to earth reviews Keep up the good work on your Aussie journey 🤘

you brother definitely earned the thumbs up from me other Cold Chisel songs to check out Bow River from this same concert heck anything from this concert is 🔥 Wild Thing, Georgia On My Mind both from the Last Stand concert Breakfast at Sweethearts just to name a few ooh I forgot one of my favourites Plaza/One Long Day it is a great live blues performance sadly there is no video of it be warned though Cold Chisel have a very deep rabbit hole once you enter you may never escape

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Thanks mate heaps for doing my request much appreciated. Wasn’t expecting it that quick lol, knew you would love them and welcome down the big rabbit hole and wait till you check out “bow river” live from the same gig

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Loved it brother you were right on about that band. Got chores to knock out, then back to the music.

[@bigs1546]

You got it! A lot of reactors think it is someone coming back from the war........I suppose you can take it that way. Jimmy came from a really abusive childhood [guy just on mic] and I think it is a special song for him. I guess everyone takes from it what they need, but I believe your take is spot on.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Because most of them just assume. I got it , and their harmonies are oustanding. Loving it.

[@jennybowd2962]

Next one from cold chisel would be "bow river" its from the same concert A song from a artist you probably never heard of that i love your reaction to is Lee kernaghan backroad nation

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Jenny, Thank you for the suggestion, I needed a good one to do next, from Cold Chisel. And I wrote down backroad nation, give a little time and I will get it done. Thank you for your time. It means a lot to me. Be well

Australia had a crucible that forged some great bands called Pub Rock it was the birth place of AC/DC, Angels, Midnight Oil, Spy V's Spy, Hunters and Collectors, Hoodoo Guru's, Divinyls, Cold Chisel Radiators, Etc Etc. If you could not fill a pub and hold the crowd you did not succeed, so they were all tight muso's that knew the job in front of them to entertain and hold a crowd.

[@trumpsta4759]

Bow River 2003 is the best live performance you will ever see

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I was wondering which one, I will find it if I can, hope everyone agrees that is the live performance I want to see. Can't wait got to get some work done, then it's party time

Any Americans that are Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp fans will love Cold Chisel.

Not much Bruce for me, but John Mellencamp is the man

[@Paul-pl6dl]

From a classic oz rock band I thought it strange starting with that song I would have thought Bow River would have been the one to start off with or Flame Tree's then maybe this one because when they are playing hard they are playing into the crowd another band ACDC or Crowded House

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I had never heard of them and good human messaged me with to check out War so that is where I started, I just honor what I see and go with it. I will check out all of it. Thank you kindly for your time. Bow River next.,

Hundreds of songs and you pick a Ballard to start , Well you will love what you have to come .

I did not pick it, but I liked it. It was a request from My first Aussie mate, that commented and suggested. Cannot wait to get into some more. By popular request Bow River 03" is next,. Thank you for kind words and time.

[@bella-xp7qd]

Love Jimmy Barnes (Barnsey). Check out some of his solo work. Stone Cold ( his son Jackieplaysthe drums). He was known as the bad boy of rock when he was younger. He is now clean and sober (thanks to his long time wife Jane) 5 of his kids can sing. Should check out another Aussie and legend John Farnham's duet with Jimmy When Something Is Wrong With My Baby. Anytime you do a reaction of Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes or John Farnham they must be live, as their performances are a show in themselves.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

My favorite new band. Love these guys

[@Rassskle]

Cold Chisel began life in 1973 as a heavy metal band then went through a few musical changes before cementing themselves as Australia’s No 1 heavy pub rockers..... bigger than AC/DC here. From the start it was the piano player, Don Walker , who controlled the musical direction of the band...... makes me wonder how they started as Heavy Metal. lol This is their gentlest ballad and probably their slowest song...... written by the drummer Steve Prestwich about divorce . Every band member sings and writes great songs..... from blues to hard rock to brilliant ballads. I suggest you take a crack at their live cover of Wild Thing, from their 1983 Last Tour ( saying goodbye to their fans by touring the whole country from big venues to restaurants and church halls ). This is the most feral performance I have ever seen, and the exact opposite to When The War is Over. lol This makes Hendrix’s cover look like soft pop. lol

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

They are fn great band. Thank you, got more on the way. Be well.

[@Tassiefarmlife]

Cold Chisel are an institution in Australia. You could try Aus other National Anthem Khe Sanh their 1 st single release. It was banned from radio after a month. It’s about PTSD from a Vietnam Vet.

Is that an Akubra? Or an American hat?

[@jeremykothe2847]

I don't think it is. No disrespect but it looks flimsier :)

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

That is great question? I bought it here in U.S. but it could be Akubra style, when I was looking for a new hat in my mind I wanted something western or Australian, I am in love with Australia and have it on my bucket list to visit.

[@ritayprice3510]

Yes. I just learned of this band and Jimmy Barnes recently. Sometimes Jimmy goes a little over the top for me but great voice.

They are pretty stripped back on this song. The studio version we all heard back in 1982 was a lot faster but its hard to find a decent live clip of that sadly. This is not bad but I prefer the earlier version as its the one I listened to for 20 plus years. If you like blues/rock and a bit of rockabilly you will enjoy Chisel.
