*FIRST TIME HEARING* John Farnham Jimmy Barnes - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby REACTION VIDEO

[@WendyKay84]

The best pairing in Australian music history. Period... Wait. That fails to include Diesel, the best freaking guitarist in Australian history.

[@fransmith3255]

That is how we do it in Australia. We don't put up with people who can't sing live. If you can't sing live, you CAN'T SING. Period!

[@TheLoveTheUSA]

John, Jimmy, and Diesel...absolute perfection...

[@rickandersen2284]

When John Farnham sings it is NEVER a normal singing situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Farnham ALWAYS performed live. Even on show which would predominantly have pre-recorded songs being lip synced

[@debb7482]

I never get tired of this. Australian music royalty shining out in all their glory. ❤

[@janellejames4526]

This is what happens when two great mates who are both great talents in their own rights team up. Magic happens. This was filmed on a live tv entertainment show. The guitarist is Mark Lizotte also known as Diesel. Mark is Jimmy Barnes’ brother in law. John has been married to Jill for nearly 28 years and Jimmy has been married to Jane for 40 years. Mark has been married to Jep for 32 years. So this song takes on more meaning. John’s son is in music and all of Jimmy’s kids are talented musicians and singers in their own rights. So glad you enjoyed our boys.

[@vcval]

stuff i didnt know , mind blown

[@stevegraham3817]

@Janelle James I think you wrote a typo... John and Jill have been married since 1973, making it 48 years not 28yrs when you commented last year...

[@acs628]

I feel like a proud mum. I’ve just stumbled across 🇺🇸 people reacting to our national treasures and I couldn’t be prouder. Diesel on the guitar also a brilliant musician and singer. These guys are absolute legends down under. Thank you so much for your beautiful commentary and reaction.

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

You're witnessing "The Voice" -John Farnham, and Jimmy Barnes of Cold Chisel, two of the best voices that Australia has ever created. They individually have sooooo many great songs, you could rabbit hole them both for weeks or months

[@hellovanite]

except neither were created in Australia 😂😂😂😂

[@shazzymapatazzie3117]

I was blessed to meet him when I sang back up vocals with Billy Thorpe. H is such a charmer, John that is.

[@kurgenimmortals2406]

Don't forget the cameo from Johnny Diesel on guitar there. a very talented young musician/singer (at that time) but Jimmy broke some shackles around this time going from screaming chisel front man, to a legit singer. awesome (I'm not gonna start with J.F. If I start listing his greatness, I'll. never stop

[@user-ed8bk6rz9s]

Hey Helovanite. John was born in England anJimmy in Scotland but they are Australian. We are a nation of immigrants. An Australia gave them the life the breaks and the appreciation. Can’t believe the USA didn’t want John in the 70’s -80’s. Crazy. He’s a mega star and Jimmy Barnes has had so many hits with Cold Chisel he’s an icon too. These guys fill huge stadiums around Oz and they are still singing.. So glad the world is finding out about them now. We love them. Awesome talent and nice guys.💙💙Tina NEILSEN.🇦🇺

[@reneepope-munro8115]

People discovering the gift to music that is John Farnham is one of my favourite things to stumble upon on KZbin. They’re both phenomenal. Barnsey actually did a free busking gig in the centre if Melbourne today as part of an effort to get people back in the city after COVID shutdowns. National treasures.

[@dalewyatt1321]

John is in his 70's now and still has his pipes. In your spare time watch a bit of the Australian bushfire relief concert done in 2020

[@kaindog100]

[@jennycenatiempo1241]

I'm loving the facial expressions of your reaction 😂😂😂 4:46

[@paul-Ess]

Great reaction Michael,welcome to Australian music royalty( all 3 born overseas lol).John Farnham (long hair) is Australias number 1 singer of all time and was described br Freddie Mercury as the best singer he's heard.Between these 3 performers and the bands they've been in I'd say they would have 40- 50 top ten hits easily.Please do more of them m8.

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

What a lot of people that are watching this video around the world don’t know is how ear splittin loud they are - last Barnesy gig I saw I couldn’t hear a thing for 3 days after - did I care - no way 😀 Barnesy, Farnesy and Diesel what a trio !

[@LemonwaterLally]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how fine Diesel was looking between these two Aussie Icons 🥰

[@lizzaroyal957]

Soooo fine!!!!!

[@fasicougar]

These Australian sons are slaying it and this is coming from their Anzac cuz’ ins from Middle Earth Aotearoa. Precious

[@marikapaprika5833]

I’m very lucky to have grown up here in Australia listening to these three, it’s easy to forget that the the rest of the world missed out. And John Farnham ALWAYS sings from the soul, for me - he’s up there with Otis Redding.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Farnham is incredible. He is a singer's singer. Both guys are, but Farnham is off the charts.

[@anniebland6450]

My Mum in Law won a 'Sadie the Cleaning Lady' knee's competition at a Pub Concert he was giving in New Zealand... She got her knee's autographed by him...

[@stephanienixon9529]

Australia had some amazing singers and bands from the 80’s. Not many were picked up in America at the time but seem to be gaining traction 30 years later. Damn straight that’s how you do it live! No auto tune, no lip syncing. It feels like very few sing from the heart or tells beautiful stories these days. Thanks for sharing your reaction to these Aussie icons and for the trip down memory lane :)

[@jemxs]

So great seeing new people discovering John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes for the first time. Hidden gems from Australia. We have always known how great they are. But through KZbin reactions the rest of the world are discovering them as well. Thanks so much for the video 😊

[@angelabay-jespersen6205]

I couldn't agree more with what you've said. I think most Aussies would be able to sing the songs of these two great artists, well maybe not the newer generations... Sadly. Nothing beats great lyrics put together with great music, especially melodies and all played/sung by great musicians. These guys were always on my mixed tapes growing up .... Showing my age there, lol.

[@danielpsmith2049]

So proud to be an Aussie! I grew up in the 80's with John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes! Australian Music Royalty!

[@popmccoy3454]

The led guitarist is Jimmy Barns brother in law, had hit records himself. Johnny Farnham and Jimmy Barns are Aussie Icons.

[@jlocke78759]

Jimmy Barnes and his band "Cold Chisel" are legends in Australia. Jimmy's daughter Mahalia is a backup singer in Joe Bonamassa's band.

[@carty43]

Two Aussie superstars doing what they do best. It ain't all BeeGees and AC/DC down there. Farnham was described as the most successful solo performing artist in Australia, but fronted the Little River Band for four years.

[@Psyciandra]

3 of the greatest Aussie artists, just jamming, and having a great time. 😁

[@galebrown6408]

This is an old "Sam and Dave" song from the 60s. Loved it then, but these boys have pure magic in their voices! Fantastic!

[@PrincessGold1]

Or as we call them - Barnesy and Farnesy! The most iconic male singers in Australia. John Farnham a solo singer, and Jimmy Barnes, first fronting Cold Chisel then going solo. This video looks like it was done innthe 80's. John Farnham, Australia's greatest singer of all time is now 71, has a phenomenal range, and can still sing amazingly well.

[@reneepope-munro8115]

P.S John Farnham’s iconic version of Help by The a Beatles (any of the live versions) is unmissable. One of the best vocals I’ve ever heard. Man is in his 70’s now, and STILL kills it.

[@AnnQlder]

You plus our legends make me seriously happy

[@MatthewHarrold]

Farnsey started in the 1960's and transcends all genres. Barnsey is now a family dynasty (the third guy was his son-in-law), his kids had a childhood kid-band called the Tin Lids, and all grown up now, I have no doubt a third generation of excellent musicians is around the corner. Both are legends and good people.

[@teresakym2672]

Diesel is Jimmy's brother-in-law, not son-in-law. Their wives are sisters 🙂

[@MatthewHarrold]

@@teresakym2672 Never knew that. Thanks for the correction. I probably just demonstrated ageist assumptions. Terrible for someone weeks off the big 50.

Yes he lost it at one concert we attended at the old entertainment centre Sydney. To give the band their due they didn’t miss a note. John In His usual cheeky way, just said “Oops that wasn’t supposed to happen”

[@maryhanrahan]

Two of the best singers of my lifetime growing up from the 70's til now - Love them both - John was know as 'The Voice' and Jimmy one of the best rockers ever - (especially when he was with Cold Chisel)

[@iainsmith2434]

Jimmy Barnes does a pretty good version of River Deep with Tina Turner, any Jimmy live is fire, and John Farnham has perfect pitch, don’t think he ever hit a bum note.

[@toddjames7]

John Farnham is the best.

[@xDRAGONSTARx]

You just earned a new sub! I loved your reaction to our Aussie Icons of John and Jimmy! Your comment about them singing from their spirit really resonated with me. You can see how John loses himself in what he is singing. He is feeling it deep. I am so thankful you are listening to Australian artists with this one. Thanks!!!

[@paulallas7665]

I remember when this was released way back when. Gave me goosebumps then. Still does today. My God how Barnesy and Farnsey soar on this song!!! As if this song was written for them. An incredible and superb live performance on Hey Hey it's Saturday.

[@bonscotty67]

Although Glen Shorrock is irreplaceable, I enjoyed John's tenure as lead vocalist for Little River band.

[@LuvHrtZ]

I once spoke the John after an LRB gig here in South Australia. They were 'on the nose' internationally and so they were playing smaller gigs. He was soaked in sweat by the end of the gig and I asked him why he gave so much he simply stated that that was the only way he could perform. It was all or nothing. He'd sang his heart out for hours and still had time to speak to us kids in the front row.

[@senorjeffery9043]

Two voices that just shouldn't go together but somehow they do. Fantastic song

[@samatutahi4032]

Absolute belters!!!!! Johnny got beautiful sound and massive range

[@tripgreat]

First, you must be confident to cover a Isaac Hayes song. Secondly, your videos introduced me to John Farnham. Thank you. And finally, "Freight Train Heart" by Jimmy Barnes is the only part of his career I'm conversant in, but it's one of my favorite albums of all time. Jimmy wasn't showing the best of his range here, just the power, and being a good team member on stage. Check out "Too Much Ain't Enough Love" , "Waiting For The Heartache to Come" and walk on from that album, circa 1988, and his videos of these songs. The first is with Neal Schon doing the lead guitar. Beautiful, and Jimmy combines range with that power.

[@aussiekat6379]

John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes are Aussie rock royalty.. you only just begun there are so many songs by these two that will blow your socks off not to mention live performances and they are on KZbin.. Oh you have no idea! Us in Australia were spoiled because all our great singers and bands in the 50,60,70,80, sung live we expected nothing else today with singers like Guy Sebastian & Delta Goodem etc also sing live. no auto tune.

[@estes67]

WOW!!! A new one for me, heard the song but NOT LIKE THIS!! Excellent, I will be looking for more from these guys.

1 word: AUSTRALIANS. (mic drop.) Ok, ok: this fantastic live performance is just a sample of those featured every week on our classic Hey Hey it's Saturday (partial mix of SNL/Monkees/Australians Got Talent/Wheel of Fortune/ interstitial skits) show, hosted by Daryl Somers (variety host at end) & Ozzie the Ostrich (cheeky hand puppet). On tv for 30yrs since the early 70s. Actually the show had a lot of vaudeville too so perhaps that's why it was ultimately cancelled. But the career-making turns of their live performers was often the best of TV anywhere! :)
