Jimmy Barnes - Driving Wheels

[bigfella551994]

Love the song! I want that sar!!

[slurve41]

SInce the first time I heard this on the radio way back in the day I have been a fan of this guy. Didn't catch on like he should have here in states, which sucks because this guy is one hell of singer. Powerful voice and delivers it with soul too. Jimmy kicks ass!

[Mack10001988]

[csc269]

I love it how he mentions Waylon Jennings in this. Barnsey and Waylon are two of my all-time favourites!

[alleycat0707]

My hubbies all time favourite song along with working class man - and yes he's a truckie through and through - you can take the man out of the truck but you can never take the diesel out of the veins! Love you Dougie xxxx

@CinderellaInBlack When ALL the travellers in the World come to Australia, it's unique for the wild life and scenery, like any other country... but we have Chisel and Jimmy... the greatest rock secret thet will bloom as the years go on!!! good on you for great taste!

[LeighTheGenius]

[TheMoonrakergirl]

Great song and album.Still play it all the time!WHat a legend you are JB!

[tidiwinks]

[webstone24]

Last Frontier - for me the best song... I really love Jimmy Barnes (I´m from Germany) - his music helps me a lot in the year 1989. I was 18years old, a lot of problems, BARNESTORMING was my first album I ever bought :) THX FOR UR MUSIC JIMMY

[Nick56708]

Is that Johnny Diesel doing the slide guitar leads? Either way, Great song nonetheless.

[qki111]

Discovered this artist today at the age of 29. Wonderful! A true inspiration to my own music! I'm a fan now =)

[KieraJayne]

@qki111 So cool! Which country are you from?

[qki111]

@KieraJayne From the far north. Norway, and you?=)

[KieraJayne]

@qki111 Aussie, here, 27y.o. I grew up with him. lol. That's why I think it's cool when people from other nationalities discover him, coz most of the world doesn't know what they are missing out on. :D

[jornoporno05]

Best driving songs:

Jimmy Barnes - driving wheels

Golden earring - radar love

meat loaf - paradise by the dashboard light

[quoyote]

Of Course, what most people forget is that he was born in Scotland.

[TrelosGreek]

I want this song to be played at my FUNERAL :D

thumbs up if u want too :D

[gemmarrbby]

Once, in the eighties, my Mum was at a Jimmy Barnes concert at a pub and he tapped her on the arse.

I think I'm more proud of that story than my mum is haha.

[DP324]

as a 3rd gen truckie this song means so much to me, i love my job!

[bladerscumm]

all of barnsey's songs are the same if not BETTER than the CD versions.. he's freakin awesome! i scream my lungs out and lose my voice after 5 songs, how the hell he does it is beyond me :)

[HeilJohanson88]

Driving wheels was just as good sung by barnsey live as it is on the Cd:) he's a bloody good performer:)

[DP324]

@HeilJohanson88

Hes just bloody good fullstop!

[ryanthomasmccallum]

great song. love ya jimmy come back to nz and do some south island shows

[katewinslet1912]

Inspirational song. Thats all i got to say. Thanks Jimmy.

[Soulgrenade]

This was a killer CD. I went out and bought this when i was 17 after hearing "Too Much Ain't Enough Love" on the radio.

[megankate6]

was lucky enough to be brought up around music like this.

[PooPusher007]

this song was written about me, I picked up jim when he was hitching north of sydney & drove him up through brisbane in my 18 wheeler

[wankerpanther]

FUCK'N TRUCKS BRO!

[shaker2872]

the dinner in the back ground is at little place called hartley set between katoomba

and lithgow west of the blue mountains it is currently open and called the full throtle dinner

[THEDANEGRAY]

Im 19 and i love this song all the way from the other side of the world in jolly England!! ha

[digaarr]

the best start to a song ever!!

[filthracer]

I love trucks so much I can't get into cars.

[tinytott]

this intro is fucking amazing

[flipsgolf]

national anthem of Australian truckies, jimmy you nailed the feelings of drivers leaving home and being behind the wheel all week. My all time favourite, thanks.

[VOLTAGE28]

@flipsgolf nah theres 2 anthems, its this and shipping steel

[aussiielady4lyf]

fucking awesome song!! LOVE U JIMMY!!! 

[impalax327]

The only singer to idolise bogan nobody's. Plenty of money in it tho...

[jrt880]

@impalax327 nice, suppose you are Generation Y, lets idolise contest winners.........

[yerongpillyman]

SAR = Special Australian Regulations… but WTF, the main thing's the song!! Hey dutto75man, 'howya garn… awright?'

[jungkvist]

1st:: I drove for over 3,000,000 miles, and this is the only truck-driver song I ever liked. 2nd: I loved cranking up Jimmy's Freight Train Heart, just before crossing the George Washington Bridge, to get me in the mood for driving in NYC.

And, oh yeah,, 3rd: David Lindly's opening to Driving Wheels is absolutely killer.

Sounds like he used Lava Lamps for out-put tubes in his amp. Finally...

"Freight Train Heart:" truthfully: One of the greatest un-sung albums of all time

[dutto75man]

Compare this song to the fuckin shit they have now. That faggot Guy sabastion singin whos that girl walk walk walk in the club. I mean how fuckin crap can you get. Go barnsy

[jjmma85]

Jimmy your a fucking legend

[Telfer1675]

[TerryToon17]

@Telfer1675 Keepvid.com

[tabutu1]

@Telfer1675 goto savevid dot com & enter in the youtube address & you can download it to your computer.

[dutto75man]

whats Aussie? The chisel, mullets, driving trucks, headbangin bogans, ANZACs, Poida, footy, saying '' how ya garn alright?''. Singin the Australian national anthem ''Australians all let us ring Joice for we are young and free, with Barnsey and Mossy and footy for toil our land is bogans by sea.

[bjone189EXBJ]

my dad drives interstate Adelaide 2 Meb every week or Adelaide 2 Perth makes me think of him

[rob262]

at 2:20 that's gotta be driving wheels down Kariong Hill into West Gosford ??

[PhilsFitness]

This song is a must for any driving on Our Aussie roads...Just sit back put your foot on the accelerator and let Jimmy do all the work..Never ever grows old...Superb era in Aussie music

[andyzubowicz]

love him

[spookywooky1]

top song

[Brikkyz]

3 Pedals, one gear stick and a steering wheel. No computers or gadgets, no automatics or trick aids in the old crash box. No air con or GPS, just man and machine. Awesome.

[ScotchRB30DET]

Some classic gear in this vid, old T-series Scania, Inter S-line, R-series mack... awesome :)

Anyone tell me what model KW the main truck is? Never seen one with such a short bonnet before...

[landybob]

@ScotchRB30DET aussie kenworth SAR mate

[ScotchRB30DET]

@landybob Yeah figured it was a SAR being a short-bonnet (our boss owns 2 new model T408SAR's), but know the exact model number?

[TerryToon17]

@ScotchRB30DET

Australian built SAR, I think it stands for Short bonnet Australian Right hand drive or similar.

If you do a search you will find a few other vidz where the truck is the main feature and you get a better look.

Cool old rigs

[gavism]

barnsie's management apparently asked my stepdad if they could film his truck on a dirt road for this video. apparent;y he told them to get fucked i just washed it lol

[kwt4041]

Not only one of his best. its one of the best songs ever written.

[jjmma85]

AUS FUCKING TRALIA!!!!!

[kwt4041]

@jjmma85 Isnt that New Zealands West Island, haha. We all the same bro, Kiwis and Aussies.

[Christobelle13]

my old man is an interstate truckie , hard bloody job and without him and his mates australia will stop and be effed up!! so next time u see a truckie trying to merge let him plssss dont try to speed up and be an arseclown cause it just pisses them off and they have a ridiculous time schedule to keep thanks and merry christmas

...long live barnsie he is a bloody legend !!

[kwt4041]

@Christobelle13 The same thing happens over here too,

[pakreecekennedy]

this would be a great live bar song to cover...

and i love the 80's trucker video...ha ha

but thats how australia was back then...

shit pay, shit video's...but great songs...that today

would still hit the nerve & overwellm stadiums full of thousands & thousands of people.

[pantherslair]

The Ultimate Truckie Anthem...and it's true, without trucks deliveries all across the land would come to a grinding halt and stop, so whenever you truckies hear this song, honk your air horns nice and loud in a symphony salute.

[billyshakes]

This intro remind anyone else of Mark Knopfler's Local Hero? Not as in note-for-note but just in terms of the feel and tone? Love the song.

[risna244]

love the country u from, love every song u singin especially ur voice , and u very good father too, well done.

[teddybeareleventeen]

Should be the national anthem!

[ganz48]

@Seattlecarnut-I have watched him since 1976-so, I think comparison is accurate...Hope you like his singing................

[Yanaman]

what model kenworth is the truck

[gc1862de]

@Yanaman SAR

[ozieracer]

@Yanaman

It is A kenworth SAR a true icone of a truck

[Seattlecarnut]

I've heard of Jimmy Barnes, but I've never heard his music. Someone once told me that he is Australia's answer to Bruce Springsteen, am I right?

[melbgal]

@Seattlecarnut ... LOL.. Yes, I would say that is an accurate comparision! xx

[Seattlecarnut]

@melbgal Is he still singing or has he retired from singing?

[whatzupa]

@Seattlecarnut He's still singing, his gigs are always sold out, we need more live Jimmy.

[paulbran100]

what a great song

[brownedoggg]

Diesel played the slide,,,,,thats the reason i picked up a 6 string,,,and now write song myself in the gist of this one,,,,,,thank you sir,,,,Jimmy Barnes is King

[scottlozloca]

[61SGman]

The slide guitar at the start is EPIC!

[shadowzone69]

[mickg053]

[The76firedragon]

Thanks for this, love Barnesy!!!

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome music! Awesome singer!

[a320x]

I've driven from Melbourne to Cairns then Darwin and finish at Adelaide. About 10000 km. listening music like this, coming from a small town in Europe it's been the best experience of my life. Love Jimmy, love Oz and love Aussies!

[dutto75man]

@a320x Gday Mate! Keep up the good work.

[dutto75man]

I love Mossy's weeping guitar.

[mdf072]

@a320x good onya mate!

[mickg053]

srry jim turn it up

[c921234]

Great song - the Foxtel music channels must not have this music video as I have never seen before and it is never included in their great driving songs countdowns. I also love the trucks which reminds me a bit of the clip to Slim Dusty's Pub With No Beer. Great lyrics in this include: Rhythm of the highway as it rolls on bye - Like a shooting star across a desert sky. I saw Jimmy perform at Doncaster Shoppingtown in October 2006 and he did not perform this song - much to my disappointment.

[reillylives]

I first heard of Jimmy Barnes around the mid-80s when rumors were flying that he was going to replace Brian Johnson in AC/DC. Wow! What a treat that would have been! Although I love Brian, his voice was shot by 1985 and Jimmy's lasted decades longer at high level. He would have been the perfect fit. Now we can only speculate on what might have been. What a great talent!

[johndownunder]

Jimmys songs bring back a lot of memories of good times. The eighties music was the best ever !!

[dazzadidja]

@johndownunder , true true true....

[helihunternz]

Top music, Fucking good song to drink piss too

[MrRaymie1961]

i seen jimmy barnes in 1987 up in coffs harbour .with my pals .we were all from scotland .great night and i pulled an abbo chick yahoo...................

[70bbmaverick]

[avanwaites]

Love it, love it, love it....love the guitar.

[firebouy]

His brother in law is Johnny Diesel? Whoa!

[wiggo4]

[vKiLLBoTv]

Jimmy your a bloody aussie legend

[Nazisympathiser]

@vKiLLBoTv he is kike from the uk !

[iamslightlybored]

@Nazisympathiser Yes. Barnes is a closet Jew. Now he is "out" just like a Gay!

[TheRooSkittler]

They talk of great guitar riffs, this one has to be among the best

[choozed]

my theme song, im trying to be a truck driver

[Mechknight73]

@choozed You should try getting into what's known as the hotshot freight industry. This is when a company can't wait 3 days for a part, which is sometimes as tiny as a 3 kilo box. I did it for 6 months, and I only have an HR licence. It's done with two up crews for most jobs, but it will allow you to experience the industry at entry level. Message me where you're from, and I can give you more suggestions as to where to go.

[choozed]

@Mechknight73 hey thanks for the info but i am doin hot shots i live in perth we go all ova oz ive been to QLD n do alot of up nth we go to mine sites, i was doin local but i didnt realy like it i luv the open rd.... its the rythym of the highway....

[Christobelle13]

@choozed just wondering what u mean by doing hotshots? merry christmas

[choozed]

@Christobelle13 hot shots is urgent freight i go to mine sites all over oz the smallest parcel ive had to deliver was 2 rings weighed 3grams its not bad job just gotta put up with dickhead 2up drivers ive done some solo i enjoied that cuz i cud play jimmy LOUD merry xmas to u hope u have a safe n happy 1 ill be working i dont mind thou i hate xmas
