The American record producers tried to change them. So they come home and wrote a song (you've got nothing I want)

[@fayel5992]

Cold Chisel band members are- Jimmy Barnes- Lead Singer and front man ; Ian Moss- Lead Singer & Guitar; Phil Small- Bass; Steve Prestwich- Drums: Don Walker- Keyboard & Band Leader and main writer of songs, but they all write. Bow River was written by Mossy, When the War is Over by Steve. Jimmy was born in Glasgow, he was 5 when he arrived in Adelaide with his family, but still has an accent. Steve was born in Liverpool UK and was about 17 when he came here with his family the other 3 were born here in Aus. Enjoy

[@kayelle8005]

I’m so glad you respected the song enough to stop yourself from pausing the video and just sat back and listened. You’ve quickly become one of my favourite reactors.

[@nikkil2580]

Do we tell Bugs about John Farnham, Guy Sebastian, Matt Corby and The Tesky Brothers??

[@carolineduffy7502]

Yes please

[@carolynh8866]

Your appreciation of Australias most loved band is endearing you to us all. Both Jimmy and Ian share the lead, but all of the others also take the lead occasionally. The band has it all, great musicians, great song writers and great singers. Now you need to also discover Australias favourite solo rock artist, John Farnham. He is close friends with these guys especially Jimmy Barnes. He has also done the most amazing covers of this song and his range is even wilder... I would love to hear you react to John singing this same song. Choose a live version. There is even one where John and Jimmy sing it together. I think you'll get a kick out of listening to two of the most powerful singers in Australia singing this song togther

[@amygone2pot]

Jimmy Barnes is still singing and collaborating and still killing it.

[@drjay0744]

That young lady gets me everytime. This is slowed right down and the audience are feeling every word. So much soul for a little Aussie rock band.

[@Rassskle]

G’day Bugs, Daffy here. Jimmy was born in Scotland but migrated to Oz as a toddler or pre school age, anyway. Most of Australia’s rock / pop Superstar singers were born in the UK and arrived here on the same ship as 10 pound Poms. Also the same voyage....... Jimmy, John Farnham, Billy Thorpe, The Bee Gees, Little Pattie and her cousin Christie Amphlet ( The Divynals ), Harry Vanda and George Young ( The Easybeats ) and George’s younger brothers......Angus and Malcolm Young ( AC/DC ), and many more........ so many on that voyage most didn’t even meet each other until they made it in the music industry. lol

[@fayel5992]

Hi Kent, for your information, they didn’t arrive on the same ship, Jimmy arrived from Glasgow to Adelaide in 1961, John Farnham arrived in Melbourne from England in about 1959, Bee Gees from England, arrived in Brisbane about 1957/8. Harry Vanda (stage name) born Netherlands, met George, Angus & Malcolm Young in a Sydney migrant hostel in 1963. The Young brothers were from Glasgow. Billy Thorpe.was born in Manchester in 1946, not sure when he arrived here. Little Pattie was born in 1949 in Paddington, Sydney and Chrissy Amphlett was born in 1959 in Geelong, Victoria.

[@Rassskle]

@@fayel5992 It was commonly reported since the 1960’s that they did all arrive on the same voyage.......also that most of them did not actually meet on the ship itself, but mostly through the music industry afterwards. Obviously some would have met if on the same voyage , but considering the size of the passenger list and the varying ages, it is easy to accept that most or at least many , did not meet on the voyage itself. If it is true that they arrived on different voyages, then the Australian media and music industry both lied about this for over 50 years........ not hard to believe. Honest reporters and experts are mostly unemployed or pushing trolleys around their local supermarket. lol

[@Rassskle]

@@fayel5992 Thank you for the info on Christie and Little Pattie....... I was never 100% on which 1960’s singer was Chrissies cousin and guessed on Little Pattie, but they were also reported to be on the same ship. lol There were many more I forgot to mention but remembered later........ As for me, I am still confused as to who plays rhythm for The Rolling Stones...... Is it Keith Richard or Keith Richards ?

[@bretthorsnell1894]

He’s Australian but born in Scotland.

[@ValerieKerr11]

Jimmy is Scottish, born Jimmy Swan, his brother John Swan "Swanee" another Aussie singer, his father was a violent alcoholic, and his mother left him and married Jimmy's stepfather Reg Barnes, and Jimmy took his name. Jimmy has a son, David Campbell, check out their duo of "You'll Never Walk Alone", you'll see how alike they are!

[@kevinmaccallum336]

A MIXTURE OF BATTERY ACID AND LOVE ❤

[@lesleymeldrum7142]

Jimmy Barnes is Scottish born. The family came to Australia when he was a little boy

[@ingridclare7411]

Jimmy was born in Scotland, but came here when v young with his parents and siblings.

[@noone6559]

Mostly Cold Chisels and John Farnhams choices had to do with what the US music companies/managers wanted from them.... which was total control over their songs/lyrics/attitude etc..... which THANKFULLY our artists said FUCK OFF.......

[@mals4125]

Your view of Chisel are spot on. The fact you picked up all the diversity in the band is incredible. All 5 band members wrote amazing songs and the feel of the band would change with each members influence. Loving your travel down the rabbit hole. - live is always best thought quality of some songs is affected by how old they are. Next stops on your trip - Khe Sanh, Four Walls, Star Hotel, Goodbye Astrid, - if you want some super smooth Mossy 'Georgia on my Mind' . Enjoy

[@laurawatters914]

Hey Rory that was absolutely beautiful!! Thank You Rory and thank you Sarge. His vocals are amazing!! SOOO MUCH PASSION!! I love singers with passion and emotion and some pain!! I really enjoyed this thank you!! 🤗💓🤘✌️👏

[@clairedresdon8785]

Jimmy wouldn’t mind you saying he reminds you of Aretha Franklin. His early influences were the soul singers Aretha, Tina Turner etc. He said when he was 7 he was struck by Mahalia Jackson singing soul that he decided then that if he has a daughter he was gonna call her Mahalia, which he did. You can KZbin Mahalia Barnes, she has her own music career, worth a look.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Loving your reactions to this amazing group. Such a great song and performance, you should also check out John Farnham covering this song

[@its_Today_]

So true, and John and Jimmy sing Something is Wrong with My Baby is a MUST, pure Soul, so brilliant

[@yvonnecaldwell6088]

HE'S SCOTTISH...but moved to Australia as a boy, so now he's Aussie!!😂😂👍 This is a sweet/sad song...😢💔❤️ Again both of them singing. Cold Chisel will go down in history.❤❤️👍🇭🇲 'Khe Sahn' and 'You Got Nothin' I Want' next👍

[@AndyFNQ84]

Love your reactions Rory. Jimmy Barnes has a voice on par with Chris Cornell, with that range, grit and power. So glad you enjoy it. You're a champion matey, cheers

[@kathyreid4735]

Jimmy Barnes is Scottish but moved to Australia when he was 5.

[@Dr_KAP]

Jimmy Barnes was born in Scotland so you were close with your Irish guess. He moved here when he was a “wee lass” but still has the accent!! Sorry you had to endure a poor sound version of Wild Thing! I’ve uploaded a remastered version today which is much better but a little late for your reaction! Enjoy your trip down yet another awesome rabbit hole. You’re right Jimmy has a ridiculous range of nearly 3 octaves and he is the lead singer although they do lots together too.

[@its_Today_]

Laughing here! Could be wrong (what a surprise ikr..). You just made me Google to double check but fair chance may be you meant to list Jimmy’s range as 4.5 octaves, least according to what I just read, I’m no musician so maybe that’s wrong? Actually, fairly certain I only learnt it was roughly 4 off one of your comments stating that originally, way back when 😅 Threw me thou.. Mind helping me out here, as She Who Knows All about the Boys 😊❤ Not that it truly matters, just confirmation of, kind of thing.. Cheers

[@Dr_KAP]

I meant to put 3.5 I don’t know where my .5 went to, maybe it was too early in the morning 😝 Definitely not 4.5, Freddy Mercury sang 4 octaves. If you go off F2-B5 it’s about 3.5 octaves. The reason I would have said “nearly 4” on a last post is because those “google ranges” always underestimate the range as they include only official recordings and not live performances. They also usually don’t include covers unless the cover was recorded. I know Jimmy has gone higher than B5 in live shows.

[@Dr_KAP]

@@its_Today_ also I should add that vocal range generally shouldn’t include falsetto and a lot of Jimmy’s high notes are in falsetto. If you include it, it changes things drastically!

[@its_Today_]

@@Dr_KAP Hmm, think I just found what happened to your .5 - it took a sightseeing tour around the internet and landed in my post, I’d intended to write 4 at the time, so yeah, unintentionally borrowed it apparently.. Glad it turned up and you can have it back now lol 😆 Thanks Kappy, love love love your work Cheers

[@Dr_KAP]

@@its_Today_ hahaha too funny!!!

[@eviekelpie1]

You've got nothing I want, Cold Chisel An up yours to the American record industry!

[@kathyconway5327]

Thanks Rory, you’re really good at this. The female vocalist Jimmy Barnes is usually compared to is Tina Turner. Easy to see when they sing together which they did on Simply The Best. He’s good at duets, does lots of them.

[@Kimmy58]

😂 Sorry ....female vocalist?? I know what your talking about cause I listened to what the creator was saying ... but it sounds like your calling Jimmy a chick😂😂 just good humour here, not takin the piss or anything.

[@kathyconway5327]

@@Kimmy58 You must have been seeing commas where there are none.

[@Kimmy58]

@@kathyconway5327 OMG 😂😂😂😂. I seriously thought you were calling Jimmy a girl🤣🤣. That'll teach me for not reading the whole thing. Sorry mate !! 🤣🤣🤣

[@kathyconway5327]

@@Kimmy58 Have you checked out the comment from Dr_KAP saying how Jimmy came to Australia when he was “a wee lass”? You need to go tell the Dr. that Jimmy is no lassie, he’s a laddie. 🤭 although … if you check out a duet he did with Neil Finn, singing Lola, he finished the song by saying - “It makes you want to put on a dress” - so nothing should really surprise us.

[@Kimmy58]

@@kathyconway5327 😂😂😂 yep yep I saw what Dr kap wrote , but just like with your comment my mind went blank😂. I knew it didn't sound right but I just couldn't think of "laddie". Thanks for that it would have annoyed me no end tonight trying to remember 😁

[@peterlinsley4287]

Jimmy is Scottish, but his family migrated to Australia when Jimmy was 5. Chisle have some great rock songs but my favourite Bow Rive, Flametrees, When the War is over, 4 Walls and Water into Wine.

[@fionajames73]

Jimmy barnes ( curly haired guy in wild thing, singer with the incredible range, second singer in Bow River and when the war is over, and lead in flame trees) Ian Moss, great singer and guitarist, took the lead in bow River and when the war is over. Cold chisels style is incredibly diverse as you'll see as you listen to more from them. Jimmy and Ian are both still singing and I've been lucky enough to see the both live on a number of occasions plus was in the audience for the performance where wild thing was recorded. Always brilliant live. These days I get to attend their concerts with my adult children....so cool. Instead of being brought up listening to the wriggles they were introduced to cold chisel and other great Aussie bands from birth

[@nnoddy8161]

Check out Mossy's version of Georgia on My Mind from The Last Stand concert. Brilliant.

[@kane29842]

At about 4 minutes, you are almost exactly describing Cold Chisels song 'Khe Sahn'. This particular song is actually about the end of a relationship, not an actual literal war - but everyone's interpretation is their own. Not only was that girl in the crowd so into them she didn't see the camera - she almost certainly wasn't born when the song came out. You can see the appeal in EVERYONE in the audence, the age range is nuts and they're all in raptures. Sorry i wasn't there tbh.

[@peterhay8961]

I would dearly love to know what happened to that young couple. Their emotions really was an integral part of this clip.

[@petercooney2597]

You need to check out the version where Mossy has an electric guitar

[@TheMarlsi]

Born Scottish but true blue Aussie. X

[@eviekelpie1]

No, Jimmy was born in Scotland and came to Australia as a young kid

[@deanwimbridge9318]

So many classic songs left to hear from Cold Chisel 👍

[@jemxs]

Great reaction, enjoying your reactions, you seem to really enjoy and understand music. Love the grunts of appreciation whenever you hear something beautiful or technically brilliant.😂 Jimmy did do a rerecording of Simply The Best as a duet with the awesome Tina Turner.

[@MariaBM1]

I'd love to see what he thinks of that duet. Jimmy Barnes = male equivalent of Tina Turner. He needs to do more Chisel first though -- and then he can get onto Jimmy's solo stuff and his duets. (Singing with Mossy trained him up well on the duet front.)

[@YobboBear]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@deanwimbridge9318]

Classic 👏thanks Jimmy has a Scottish background

[@maryhanrahan]

Been listening to Cold Chisel then Jimmy Barnes solo since the 70's - Jimmy's voice is amazing - he is still touring now - Jimmy was born in Scotland but came to Australia as a small child. So he is Aussie - and you should check out Cold Chisel's - 'You got nothin I want' and 'Breakfast at Sweethearts' and 'Flame Trees' - Then if you want to listen to Jimmy solo - 'I'd die to be with you tonight' or 'Working class Man' - or more recently an awesome track 'Stone Cold' featuring Joe Bonamassa

[@CQuinnLady]

Chisels music needs to be heard... aussie music needs to be heard... we have had some of the best here, no overproduced rubbish just good raw rock!.

[@karenglenn6707]

Mossy is a legend!! I love his voice and guitar playing! Have seen them a few times luckily.

[@LizzieRD]

Thoughtful reaction. It's good see in such a young man... and yeah I'm a daily Bow River addict, too. Never liked "screaming" back on the day, but I'm a real Jimmy barnes convert. Just love his voice. You absolutely must listen to Jimmys Stone Cold with Joe Bonamassa (guitarist extraordinaire) You will definitely be blown away. His Do You Love Me (with the raw Josh Teskey) from just a couple of years back is fun and awesome at the same time.

jimmy barnes could have replaced david lee roth as lead singer of Van Halen. But declined the gig because he had 3 young kids at home at the time. and wanted to raise them in australia. and to be there to watch them grow up.

The question is whether this song is about a Military Battle or a Relationship Battle ?

Jimmy Barnes is Scottish born his family moved to Australia when he was a child.

Hi Rory. I've just subscribed to you. I like the way you feel the music and provide an insightful commentary. Could you please add these great Aussie artists to your list? Masters and Apprentices, " Turn up your radio" The Easybeats, " Friday on my mind" ( Angus and Malcolm's older brother George is in this 60s band) Midnight Oil, " Power and the passion" I'd love to hear what you think Thanks Cheers from the east coast of NSW Australia

It's not Irish it's Glaswegian! Even though Jimmy Barnes migrated to Australia aged 5 the Glasgow accent is built into his DNA , hardest accent to shake! haha

Cold Chisels 'Barking Spiders Live' album... was the first album I bought with my own money when I was a teen... had to fight my siblings for the record player (yes I'm that old lmao)..... still my most favourite band in the world.... and John Farnham is my most favourite solo performer in my life......

[@pateoo6]

Quite funny how the American reactors are all now asking why they hadn't heard of them before now.

[@MRDARKTURKEY]

Chisel has so many different genres all blended into one that the Americans couldn’t find a category to fit them into.. They were put into the too hard basket🤷‍♂️

Pay more attention to the musicians. Especially on Jimmy’s side! Dude Jimmy Barnes for ever. ❤

[@peaked_aussie]

Great reaction! Hope you check out "Khe San", which is about a Vietnam veteran struggling to reintegrate after the war, rockier than this one. My personal favourite is "Saturday Night" which features some really nice scatting by Barnes and solid vocals by Ian Moss - a very pretty song.

[@MariaBM1]

I love Saturday Night. He needs the official video for that one though to get the nightlife sounds.
