Jimmy Barnes - Driving Wheels || REACTION VIDEO

[@seanbarry7378]

Diesel's guitar is as usual, superb. Saw him live a few months back, he's got it!

[@peterpiper7951]

I used to do a delivery job driving interstate - 13 hour round trip. When I'd be close to getting home around 4am I'd almost be sleeping at the wheel. I remember on occasions this song coming on the radio, and I swear it got me home.

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Another great singalong and foot tapper, unforgettable Jimmy as usual! Cheers to all our truckies, you are real Australian heroes! 🙋🌟👍

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Jimmy used to be a wild child.... on stage, mic in one hand and a bottle of hard liquor in the other. Everyone just assumed he would eventually crash and burn. Booze and a career are never a successful partnership. Thankfully, he ended up getting his life sorted and we were sure glad he did. His songs are dynamic and his delivery is full-on.

[@paulgourlay6907]

Love you, for liking Aussie music!!

[@gusdrivinginaustralia6168]

Jimmy goes just as well all these years later. Ive seen him on the Cold Chisel 50 year tour twice in November, excellent. None of the guys have lost anything in 50 years. Both nights they played hard for 2 hours.

Jimmy Barnes is my favourite artist. This song was released in 1987. It is one of a large number of signature songs he has. 🎉🎉🎉

[@Dr_KAP]

I just won a copy of their 50th anniversary album today lol I was quite chuffed as I never win anything!! ❤

[@kazz3956]

@@Dr_KAP oh that is great news. I am so jealous....but so happy for you 💗

[@Bazza1025b]

From memory Jimmy co-wrote this with Jonathan Cain, keyboardist with Journey, and a fella David Roberts.

[@jasongoodwin644]

Yes and Neal Schon also played guitar as well over the album.

Love your channel Mike. There is 2 hours difference between Melbourne and Perth - Australia is the same size as the lower 48 states.

[@colt08]

brother you always look happy when your listening to Jimmy

[@RolandDeschain1]

One of my favourite Jimmy songs. My absolute fave is still 'Ain't No Second Prize'.

[@malcolmrayner3480]

i live in Mossman Far north Queensland and it would take me 22 hours driving just to get to state capital( Brisbane) from where i live, just last Monday i drove from my place to my daughters place to take her cat back to her children, we moved her early in the year due to domestic violence and she could not take the cat with her, so i took it home till she settled down again, it was my pleasure to make the kids happy again the drive was 12 hours round trip

[@CLAWCUZBRO]

this song tells the story of one of jimmy's roadies who drove across australia caring all the equipment for his shows

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Great song to play on a road trip

[@CoolCoyote]

btw what a perfect song this is for Jimmy since hes got that grunty voice, goes with the grunty big trucks

[@richardkenna149]

😮The slide (lap steel actually) intro and possibly the rest of the slide in the song was played by David Lindley. Diesel is in the clip but he didn't play on the record, he did join jimmy's band for the tour though.

[@CoolCoyote]

one of the best Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind . . also if I remember in the 80's 'trucking' was 'cool' lol some more great barnes songs 'No Second Prize' // When Your Love Is Gone // I'm Still On Your Side - (prob his best imo)

[@beresfordthompson1370]

Great song from Jimmy here, this was post cold chisel days and some of jimmy’s best years.

[@jdmanson54]

Great song with Jimmy's brother-in-law, Diesel (Mark Lizotte) on guitar in the video too.

[@G.H.O.S.T.254]

Those lyrics "Motel rooms and broken hearts" reminds me of an old customer i had. I climbed into his truck to fix an airleak in the cabin and noticed 20 burner phones all lined up across the top shelf with clips above the windscreen. I got to ask him when he got back and he and another truck driver just laughed. Those are all ladies that he knows, doesnt matter where in the country he is, he knows he can pick up the phone and give them a call and have a warm bed for the night. They are spread out all over.

[@bigoz1977]

Probably my favourite Jimmy song and a close second is The Last Frontier from the barnstorming album 👍🏻

[@Tigers2099]

❤ Jimmy and diesel

[@goannaj3243]

Check out the the Adelaide based 'Hindley Street Country Club' cover of Doobie Bothers, China Grove. A mind blowing example of contemporary Aussie musicianship/ talent and sound engineering excellence. Cheers from Sydney, AU.

[@sammy_dog]

man Jimmy Barnes had a great voice it is still a great voice but it's more mature

[@BeatWittwer-x8p]

I still think of Barnsey ( in his early days) as Australia's Bruce Springsteen.

[@afternoondelight-i7h]

You need to check out some Diesel, Mike. I suggest his acoustic version of "15 feet of snow" . Diesel is Jimmy's brother in law. Also check out Jimmy's brother John Swan (Swanee) singing "Lady what's your name".

[@davidcruse6589]
