Cold Chisel - Janelle (Live) Last Stand 1983 | Reaction

[@SimonK2376]

Thanks Nick for doing my request! I thought you might really like this one! Both Jimmy and Ian are the main vocalists and the other three are backing vocalists but both Steve and Don have taken the lead vocals on a handful of songs. You are 100% correct that the different vocal styles of Jimmy and Ian compliment each other so well and then backed by the song writing genius of Don Walker (keyboards in this video), make them truly one of the greatest bands of all time. Great reaction keep up the great work!

[@NeilBlanco]

Facts right here... ✌

[@stevegraham3817]

Take the song writing genius of Don and Ian, and don't forget the small fact that there is very few bands that every single member has written a hit song, and I believe they have all taken the lead singer role on those hits as well... It would be good to see a reaction of the top hit from every member, but unfortunately I can't afford to put the proposal forward.

The vocal right at the end by Jimmy is the cleanest I've heard from him.... I love this one and Saturday Night..... their blues is just beautiful....

[@barbararees604]

Don Walker the keyboard player wrote this song about his daughter. Cold chisel will always be my favourite Aussie band because aside from their awesome musicianship skills, I love the stories they tell that are so relatable and emotive.

[@davidburnett93]

Mate, there are some chisel songs where Jimmy and Ian sing together and it sounds like a third person, a whole other person singing. What a great band

[@davidhaynes8745]

Nick - Don Walker on keyboards (who wrote the majority of Chisel's songs) and Phil Small on bass provided backup vocals. Cold Chisel is, was and always will be, Australia's greatest band. They hail from my hometown of Adelaide.

[@Laraine3]

“One of the most destructively powerful voices in history… His voice is that thunderous, it’s that powerful, it’s like a destruction, it’s like a hurricane, or a tornado, or an earthquake.”-ThatSingerReactions Dominic, you’re always such an astute observer. You’re right and what a fantastic description! I’ve been reading the Jimmy Barnes autobiography series (Working Class Boy, Working Class Man, Killing Time) and Jimmy states this is exactly what he wanted to be. He wanted to sing like and be like and have his band like a powerful, the most powerful destructive force of nature a band could possibly be. Jimmy suffered a destructive childhood and he was angry. He wanted to offend adults by being as loud and coarse as he possibly could. He wanted the band to spew anger and to be loud and to be destructive. He used to push the band to go faster and harder any way possible. He used to turn up Ian Moss’ amp and loud as he could when Ian wasn’t looking so the rest of the band was forced to turn up too. He used to goad Ian to go faster, he even used to jump on the backs of other band members to piss them off so they would go faster and harder. He wanted to whip the audience into a fury of energy any way he could. This pushing to and fro between Cold Chisel members is a major part of what made the energy of the band so powerful. The record producers tried to tame their sound down. This is why everyone says that their live performances were always so much more powerful than their recordings. This is why Cold Chisel fought with producers because they knew their appeal, they knew what their fans wanted. Cold Chisel did not want to be tamed. Once again, you’ve nailed it Dominic. You understand the essence of Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes. 🙂

[@Matt-zt7rd]

You'll find that as you listen to more of their songs, your favourite will keep changing - so many of them are great. Like others here, the live versions of One Long Day & Georgia are highly recommended.

[@marionthompson3365]

This was 39 years ago. Ian Moss is doing a show in my town, Dubbo, next month. He's awesome!

[@hanknotchinaski8222]

The happiness in your face when you hear Barnesy and Mossy sing puts a smile on my face as well. If you ever listen to Mossy sing "Georgia" - especially the Barking Spiders version, you'll hear just how great a soul singer he is too. And if you are reading this - love your voice man, you got IT 🙏

[@craigwallace7051]

One of my most vivid memory of the last stand gig I went to was this song. When Jimmy comes in out of the darkness at the end. OMG!

You don't get many slow songs these days but this has been a favorite of mine for years, and strangely relaxing to listen to.

Trivia for comment readers . If you watch interviews with Barnsey when Cold Chisel were on the way up, Jimmy spoke with an Aussie accent . Colin Hay from Men at Work did as well . Colin actually has mentioned in interviews which year he reverted to a Scottish accent. I thought perhaps when they were younger they wanted to fit in ,and when they got older wanted to stand out .

[@mickbrinkley1138]

Chisel are one of the best bands Aus has to offer, just exclusively do their stuff for a week and I will be satisfied.

Absolutely brilliant song and performance. I've just spent 11 days in the Maldives were Mossy and several other Aussie singers performed is a series of sunset concerts on the beach. Mossy's performances were off the richter scale. And now Chisel are rehearsing for their Big Five O tour that kicks off next month. I've got tickets for six of the shows - I'll be in Chisel heaven.

I love that you love this as much as we love it. Chisel is an institution in Oz. It was a right of passage for all males in the 70s/80s that they know all their songs well enough to sing them at the pub. You either loved Chisel, or you were unAustralian. Both artists are still touring (not together that often) and still sound amazing considering their age and previously life styles (especially Jim).

The album that this was from 'Twentieth Century" was absolutely brilliant. Possibly slightly under-rated. Described as ''Irish folk music gone crazy" by Jimmy by memory, because beside a few slower songs there were lots of crazy up tempo songs on it. It would have ben interesting if they would have just gone one more album (not counting the comeback production)
