THE WOLF HUNTERZ REACT TO John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby

[@TwoWrights]

Everyone after the first verse: Jimmy Barnes must have the most powerful voice in the music industry. John Farnham: Hold my beer.

[@candydandy2694]

hahhaa! Yas!

[@mjustjeanette7026]

When Johhn wants to sing a style he nails it. Put Farnham, Barnsey, and Deisel together and real magic happens.

[@grievesy83]

Damn right, and that’s what I’ve tried to show with my playlist of requests! 👍 😊 From Help, to Black Dog, Angels, Granda, to soul… I just love it. Final song in my list coming soon. 👍

[@meni8015]

Great request. Love this version and the a cappella ending.

[@carolynh8866]

You know you're good when! 1. You can sing live and not hit a bum note 2. You sound even better live than with all the bells and whistles of the studio. 3. You throw in some even higher notes when you ad lib it in a live performance 4. You sing acapella just in case anyone thinks your lip syncing. 5. The crowd knows every line of your song and sings along with you. These three have it all and we love that the internet exists and that finally people all around the world are discovering our Aussie legends and appreciate the vocal mastery even all these many years later. Thanks for jumping on the Farnsey and Barnsey (not forgetting hearthrob Deisel) bandwagon. 🇦🇺 🎶

[@louisegough8644]

Yes😂

[@hayleydavis1449]

I just get filled with Aussie pride when I see reactions like this to our national treasures. Love watching the world love them too ❤️

[@sarzl1980]

Only thing is… they are both British LOL!

[@JoSedunary]

All three of these extraordinary musicians are basically in chart competition with each other... as an Aussie I am always so proud of how our artists have very little ego with each other.... maybe it's because we're so remote and so we're basically all we have ?...especially back then when travel outside of our country was longer and very much more expensive.... You'll find that most of them worked on each others albums... showed up for cameos at each others concerts... and are genuinely friends.. and yes, I know it happens in other countries...but it makes me so very proud.

[@grievesy83]

True that. I learned only a couple of days ago that John - and Jimmy, and Diesel, and Glen Shorrock - did BACKING VOCALS for Billy Birmingham’s ‘Marvellous’ of The 12th Man fame. I’ve loved it as a comedy song for about 25 years but knowing this… I’ll never listen to it the same again!

[@JoSedunary]

@@grievesy83 Yes they did... and Farnsey is all over Daryl Braithwaites album... so many of them do the studio stuff for their mates...

[@sarzl1980]

But they are British not Australian!

[@JoSedunary]

@@sarzl1980 So are a lot of Australians... they were all very young when they came here though... and never left... so I figure if you've spent 60+ years in this country , been Australian of the Year (John) then you're an Australian.... same for Jimmy... Mark is younger, but his base has always been here. Even when they were away touring, all three have always said they're Australian... Also, as you know, we'll claim anyone... even Russell Crowe - but we've been trying to give him back to NZ for years...

[@stephenkendell1533]

[@wozza980]

Barnes, Farnham and Diesel is Australia's dream team

[@queenslanddiva]

When you put these two world class singers together, they are MORE than the sum of their parts. Diesel is an amazing singer on his own.

[@stevenbalekic5683]

Weirdly we in Australia...especially in my age bracket (40) took singers and song like this for granted...it was just like...eh, it's just John Farnham again...we knew it was an "alright" song but it was what our mothers listened to. Lol. Now though I love it, and can appreciate the quality of their voices.

[@grievesy83]

Bingo. Pressure Down was the very first song for which I learnt all the words, when I was in about grade three. I used to be a little embarrassed about that, but now it's something I'm actually proud of. We would listen to Whispering Jack on the car trip from home to my grandparents' farm about 4 hours away. Fond memories. 🥲 And now in my late 30s I can appreciate that album for the masterpiece that it is. I put it on from time to time and there's not a single dud track on it.

[@stevenbalekic5683]

@@grievesy83 Lol, me and my mum used to travel all around Australia...among other cassettes she had in the car like Daryl Braithwaite, Rod Stewart greatest hits and some great mix tapes was a copy of Whispering Jack...I probably know the words to most of the songs too...it was repeated enough times between radio stations.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Yep. John was such an institution in Australia we barely noticed when he had a new record out. He even complained that radio wouldn't play his new stuff because he 'wasn't cool enough'. But a few years removed I think many people are really waking up to just how extraordinary John Farnham is. Especially in light of the overseas community discovering his immense talent via KZbin channels like this one.

[@Lion-x8m]

So true.l realise now-at 56-how bloody lucky we are to have these amazingly talented people.

[@meghanvidler9147]

I’ve always felt these three have so much fun with this song, they could just be at home jamming together and having fun.

[@MargaretGuppy]

My favourite version of this; John's voice just keeps going higher and higher.

[@timn6864]

I love the fact that Americans only know Jimmy as "screaming sky cowboy" from some shitty dance song a few years ago without knowing he's a bonafide Australian musical legend

[@mjustjeanette7026]

The ending with just their voices... slaying it.

[@Dr_KAP]

Thank you Jeremy G for bringing us all these awesome requests, the world is waking up to what they missed out on! ❤️

[@grievesy83]

Thanks Doc - that was the plan all along! 😁

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Kap, Us Aussies have kept the best of Aus music to ourselves lol. Seriously how the rest of the world didn’t get more of our talent still fascinates me. I know John preferred to be in Aus with his family. Also, as you’ve probably read, when John did those sound tracks for a few movies, which they absolutely loved, some have realised via KZbin it was an Australian. Strange as we grew up with so much USA and UK music - As for Jimmy they are also blown away - they only knew the tip of our music industry here. I post John and Jimmy and others in Facebook group, mainly with UK and USA in the group and lucky to get one or 2 likes, sometimes none. Many don’t know them, so not interested.

[@barnowl5774]

This trio of John, Jimmy and Diesel and band played at the ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) awards some years ago in front of the audience which was the cream of Australian music. I particularly love the a cappela at the end. Diesel and his band are excellent musicians, too, with some great songs that you may like to check out.

[@suemillist9544]

Can’t help but notice how yet again, John, as a completely unselfish & confident performer, always presents the mic closer to the other performer rather than to himself. He knows he can blow them out of the water & chooses not to. ❤❤❤

[@aryansigrid]

Johns an Angel.

[@stevenlang7709]

John Farnham is probably a very nice person but, the position of the mic has nothing to do with being unselfish. The engineer, producer and the singers would have worked that out. John holds the mic further away from mouth than Jimmy and Diesel cannot project his voice like the other two.

[@damientaylor7480]

​@@stevenlang7709incorrect. John ALWAYS holds the mic that far from himself because he can blow jimmy away too, it's that simple.

[@josephwinder6878]

Also jimmy's always been a bit of a spitter when he belts it out

[@michaelreynolds1308]

John’s an all time great and one of the smoothest voices ever but blow jimmy away? Serious have you ever heard of jimmy barnes? His voice would sandpaper John away

[@MarcSola7]

Jimmy & John are both legends that we Aussies proud to call them our adoptive sons. Now of course they have their own versions of "When The War Is Over". But one time, they did a duet and it was mind blowing.

[@malcolmrayner6674]

This is Sam & Dave Song Jimmy actually has a video where he sings with Sam.

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

Possibly the single greatest performance in Aus music history. Three legendary performers there with a killer band. 👌

[@ianmontgomery7534]

I had a good laugh this morning - evidently John rang Jimmy to wish him well and joked that they should both dress in hospital gowns and re do the film clip! John has great sense of humour.

[@donnam5891]

Farnsey and Barnsey and Diesel. Aussie legends. Get well John 🙏

[@margi6035]

It is such a pleasure to see your enjoyment and amazement of two singers we Aussies grew up with from teenagers when they started out, to the mature magic singers they are now.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

These guys are so much better live and having them perform together is just divine. I prefer the hey hey it’s Saturday version but this goes one isn’t to bad lol.

[@bigs1546]

Yep agree the Hey Hey version is the best and the one I recommend to everyone - I think its because this was the Aria's and Hey Hey they were just having a ball and could relax more.

[@grievesy83]

It was a toss up between those two versions - ultimately I chose this one for the a cappella ending. 👍

[@MRDARKTURKEY]

@@grievesy83 both have an a cappella ending😊

[@justlinsu]

Agree with you 100%

[@grievesy83]

@@MRDARKTURKEY You sure? I thought the other was a fade out.

[@shaundgb7367]

[@justlinsu]

You guys are so awesome with your reactions...John's fans are loving them. The looks on your faces say it all lol....Waiving from Australia

This was such a pleasure to wake up to in Australia today! Loved your appreciation. What a treat for the senses though, Jimmy's grit and soul, John's range and power, and Diesel's beauty and guitar prowess. I loved the Joey reference. That hair made me swoon back in the 80s for sure :D

[@hawkethorn9009]

these Aussies are great together and just as brilliant on their own - all of them fab blokes from Oz...

[@shanevella4982]

Look at their smiles. They are just 2 mates messing about. No competition between them.

[@kazz3956]

OMG where do we start with this trio from the land down under. Of course all three have extrordinary skills musically. We know you appreciate John or Farnsey as he is affectionately known. But to date I have not seen the love yet for our rock God with soul, Mr Jimmy Barnes otherwise known as Barnesy. He has been singing since he was a teenager. He was part of the Cold Chisel band for many years and went solo (with a few reunions here and there from Chisel). His brother in law, Mark Lizotte, also known as Diesel was originally part of a band Johnny Dieael and the injectors. He then also went solo. I've seen them live and they do sing just like this live. I was right at the front. Great times. ✨️✨️

[@jaccilowe3842]

Diesel is Jimmy's brother in law and has amazing vocals and guitar in his own right.

[@andrewwinden8004]

Iron sharpening Iron . Perfectly put.

[@linmonash1244]

Love to you guys. All loving and positive thoughts to John, recovering from major surgery currently.

[@Allannah_Of_Rome]

Back before autotune was a thing!! Just a bit of trivia, Van Halen asked Barnsey to front Van Halen after Eddie and Queen asked Farmsey to front Queen after Freddy died. Both said no, can you believe that shit? Both stayed true to their roots....

[@jemxs]

Brilliant, the end always reminds me of pre covid days!

[@marionthompson3365]

Glad you like them. Grew up seeing these guys from way back in the late 70s and beyond. John Farnham has been performing on stages from around 1971.

[@ronaldcifala7043]

Jimmy Barnes is Australian Rock Royalty first with his band Cold Chisel then a solo career that is still going check out Jimmy Barnes and Joe Banommassa STONE COLD

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

I agree, Jimmy and John in a duet is magic; neither have to pull back and they can play/bounce off each other so well. It's a triple threat when you throw in Diesel, who could have been a big frontman rockstar in his own right, but he is shy and doesn't like the crowd's attention, especially if its a big crowd.

[@TheWolfHunterZ]

Maaggic!

[@barrengod2322]

when iron mixes with iron is a good analogy. Farnsey and Barnsey were friends since the early days. They are easily 2 of our best male vocalists ever and knew how to bounce off of each other at all times! Johnny Diesel is in a league of his own also!!

[@kevingatebridge3656]

Legends of Oz music right there..

[@kane29842]

nba player comment is probably spot on. these two can just let rip without fear of leaving the other behind, and then out of nowhere the 'guitarist' joins in. the quotes are just to indicate it's an absolute disservice to call Mark Lizotte (diesel) just a guitarist. Dude is legit all by himself. As for his hair, he is and almost always has been just a better looking version of Johnny Depp. Still is, aged so much better as well.

[@grievesy83]

Good take all ‘round. 👍

[@karenstrong8887]

This is the third version I have seen of this song and it is good but they do it better in both of the other two. I do love this song. This was a Jimmy song but put anything in front of John and stand back. A couple of months ago I found a video of him doing Country. 👀 He did it so well so I had to listen. In the Main Event Concerts with Anthony Warlow he sings Opera, the song is Granada and that was funny. Olivia was in this Concert and you saw her singing with John and no, nothing was going on. They toured with Anthony for 3 months after his cancer treatment. He is a star in his own right from Opera to all of the top male leads in stage musicals. John played the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar, his range is huge, notice how far away John puts his microphone when he sings with anyone. Thank you. ❤

[@grievesy83]
