Cold Chisel - You Got Nothing I Want (1981) - warning: very loud!

[bretto444]

2:47 That's how to play a piano!

[pdak005]

at 0.58 is barnsey pissed

[TheGetaload]

Cold Chisel rules bigtime...

[paolorossifan2006]

this is probably the only chisel song that really suits barnesy's "vocals". it's more like hard rock. when i was a kid, i used to think this was a deep purple song but i actually got misxed up with "woman from tokyo". i'm not implying this was chisel's only good song but i've always felt that barnesy would have been more suited to heavy metal music

[nzoz1981]

@paolorossifan2006 I thought it was a Twisted Sister song.. i'm not joking either.

[paolorossifan2006]

@nzoz1981 woman from tokyo?

[nzoz1981]

@paolorossifan2006 no, this one... i thought it was Twisted Sister song... it was a very long time ago when I thought it was TS song (like, 80's)

[brennan60100]

4 people have got nothing I want.

[carntspell]

After this video every Australian male copied Jimmy`s awkward thrusts on dance floors across the country. The bloke with the biggest thrust usually got the best/most pissed girl. Fact.

[MsSez]

@carntspell So proud to be Aussie lol, nowhere else do they dance like that and still get the girl. It's gold. :)

[bretto444]

I WISH IT WAS LOUDER!!!

[nzoz1981]

@Serthrakk its not just music ... there are fake versions of men - take a look at the whole PUA and metrosexual bullshit. Then there is the rise of aggressive pinverts, aka penis-inverts (females that act like men in business, work, society). They too expect the immediate respect - the respect it takes years to earn. Really... take a hard look around today's society and read up on what's really going on. If Cold Chisel were new, they may not even get an audience in Sydney today.

[wheatfields1970]

Ian Moss plays some great guitar here. Hearing this song for the first time gets me thinking that the music really fits into the classic rock radio format in the U.S. BTW I'm from Kansas City, MO.

[danstuart777]

Ian Moss - massively underrated rock guitarist.

[Phillip98183]

For the most part, ever since I was old enough to appreciate music, I've always liked Cold Chisel, and indeed Jimmy Barnes, but I can see where you guys are coming from. Their melodies and choruses were disappointingly monotonous, hey?

[Phillip98183]

I loved Cold Chisel when I was a kid, and, just a few years ago, got back into them! Their style of rock, and focus on real-life issues was superflous, hey. However, I can see where the first three respondents are coming from. As successful and awesome that they were, the choruses did leave a lot to be desired, I agree with you.

[quogirl1]

Thanks for the memories NZOZ, good Value.

[MrPavePaws]

Auzi Mick Jagger!

[bondibruce]

chisel wrote this song to stick it up the american music industry!!!!!!!!!!

[Scorp308]

Best break up song ever!

[matty7290au]

@Scorp308 lol wish i'd have thought of that!!!!

[Scorp308]

@matty7290au Well, the bitch dumped me so this is how I feel at the moment. lol

[jakedaniels7546]

this song=pure fucking awesomeness

[JimmySeidel]

Love 2:48 Piano going off!

[PelicanGodOfJupiter]

Great show at Rochford Winery on Saturday. Chisel made the pouring rain and knee-deep mud worth it. Fuck it was weird seeing them in a fucking winery though.

[ligeynuts]

As I was sitting in centrelink today waiting to see someone the whale woman opposite me had her phone ring and what came blaring out?

"Ya got nuthin' I want! Ya got nuthin' I need!"

Made my day it did

[Megathrax84]

I don't think it's a warning, more like listen to it.

[Megathrax84]

Was going to do a metal cover, might be able to sing the chorus, but no way I can sing the rest yet

[MarkLipka]

Good sound and good musicianship, but TOO repetitious. Cold Chisel seems to have no problem in any of their songs just repeating the same musical sequences over & over again.

[nzoz1981]

@MarkLipka Damn, I never noticed their frequent use of a chorus!!! They should have known better and took their lessons from Queen and their chorus-less big hit!

[MarkLipka]

@nzoz1981 - I hear your sarcasm and I AGREE with you. Some of Queen's songs are WAY TOO repetitious for me, too! Not a fan of of that.

[nzoz1981]

@MarkLipka I was referring to the song bohemian rhapsody as being the chorus-less number... and yeah, it was sarcasm.

[TheJter]

@MarkLipka Do me a favour: don't quit your day job to become a rock music critic.

[MarkLipka]

@TheJter . It's just my humble opinion. Too repetitious for ME. Why attack me, silly?

[ruinawish]

@MarkLipka It's a stupid opinion.

[jimmyc23c]

@MarkLipka Oi heres a thought, how about you suck my dick

[driffter1976]

I'd like to have seen a beat up Balmain shirt personally.

[australiarules100]

this song sticks up the yank AUSSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI

[AussieTheOztralian]

Bring back the Chisel..

[rexhead]

i have some cheap wine?

[AbsintheDream]

I'm not the biggest chisel fan but i dig this song & who cares if they didn't crack it in the USA i mean christ Jimi Hendrix had to go to london to get famous, they can take awhile to twig sometimes our american friends lol

[thomas62295]

hahahahah you should of told me it was very loud before i cliked on it, got headphones on at 100% dont think its good for the brain but MEH

[nzoz1981]

@thomas62295 at least you're lauging... some people burst out crying like little girls.

[thomas62295]

@nzoz1981 im actually being serious i had ringing going on in my ears when it finished but its woth it :)

[nzoz1981]

@thomas62295 i'm glad you say that!

[newliffe02]

heading to this in auckland woot

[walsam101]

These guys are coming to New Zealand later this year :D First time in 30 years! I'm 17 and love Cold Chisel. Jimmy Barnes has an awesome voice

[jibbstebb]

@walsam101 ...ive got tickets...row 5, im so excited!!!!

[MrStickyaudiobuff]

The first album i heard with CC was "East", to this day it`s one of the best records ever made!

[masseyHHVP]

WOW awesome response! I meant it in the best way really I have never heard of Cold Chisel and it immediately transported my brain back to 1982 for a couple min. they look like an underated band that many connected to...Speaking of tough hardworking bands that unfortunately didnt make it have you seen the ANVIL movie? thanks again for getting back

[nzoz1981]

@masseyHHVP They're a legend in Australia - they're songs play on commercial radio every single day and they're CD's take up nearly an entire shelf in every CD store in Australia. They paid a price for being as Australian as possible, and inspite of their big chance in the US (Elektra focusing on breaking them in the US and ignoring their new signing Motley Crew), CC didn't make it in the US hence this song.

The group has something of a cult following in Europe - see live at rockpalast 1982

[masseyHHVP]

Yes! they are like Loverboy doing AC/DC covers! Turn it up man!

[nzoz1981]

@masseyHHVP LOVERBOY?!?!?!?!??! Are you fucking serious? I appreciate your enthusiasm, but do NOT ever compare Cold Chisel to Loverboy... ever! Please don't!!! For the sake of the people who have lived on Cold Chisel's music and for the sake of all real tough groups who play hard in hard places... never put Cold Chisel next to Loverboy... please don't!?!?!?!

[donbrashsux]

Great song with very strong cold chisel lyrics..nice to see they stood for what they believe in..

[MagellanRose]

Warning: Very Loud? WTF, you dont play Barnsey Soft.  Turn up the Amp!

[nzoz1981]

@MagellanRose it was a warning to the pussies that might burst out crying

[MagellanRose]

@nzoz1981 HAHAHA lol :D all good then

[SKOTP69]

YES!!!

[Stealthkeys77]

Indian tele marketers - You got NOTHING I fucking want and if you fucking call my fucking house again while I try to eat my fucking domonos pizza I'm gonna fuckin slam the phone on you cunts AGAIN and AGAIN until you fucking understand that you got NOTHING i want and NOTHING I need.

[Brownmoon]

my current ringtone :P

[forceable25]

*reads title*

*begins to turn down*

*realises this song needs to be played loud*

*FUCK!*

[Jakeo44]

Wow you were right when you said Warning Very loud

[gav240z]

haha, I fee like I comment on every video, but seriously NZOZ I love all the music you upload. Such great music and much of it way before my time.

[nzoz1981]

@gav240z thank you :D

[nzoz1981]

@s1lencedsleep thank you :)

[Paddaricko]

One of my favourites from Cold Chisel, one of the many great Aussie bands of the late 70's and 80's. This was mine and an ex's theme song to each other:)

[mocca692000]

i asume this is my deriose

[123456789impossible]

gee you weren't kidding about the volume :)

[ghaffir]

Thanks for the warning. Rock should be played loud.

[stonewickison]

I DARE any Aussie band to be this good........

[jab653499]

@stonewickison i agree

[MissSweetheart691]

You Got NOTHIN I Want You Got NOTHIN I Need!!!! Warning - VERY BLUDY LOUDLY

[patty729ktm]

you wouldn't be able to do a video in a roosters jersey these day



[TheWheelofLife100]

@patty729ktm........ not unless it's a St George jersey,GO THE MIGHTY DRAGONS.

[supercookie200]

thxz for the warning!

[mrsaxon843]

CHISEL,,,,,gods where ever chisels playin theres a  piss up ..

[PJohnny76]

Anyone know where this video was shot? Looks like a town hall or something?

[a9x79]

@PJohnny76 pretty sure it's paddington town hall

[nzoz1981]

@a9x79 i think so too! watch the Saints and Birdman live at Paddington Town Hall (on my nzoz1977 channel) and make the comparison!

[a9x79]

@PJohnny76 pretty sure it's paddington town hall

[MrGutley]

@PJohnny76 Agree with the others, Paddington Town Hall. I was in there the other week, and it's remarkably unchanged from when the Saints/Birdman played their legendary gig.

[argonaught11]

Is there anyone in the UK or USA that likes Chisel???

[philby971]

@argonaught11 Oh HELL YEAH!!!!! I lived in Melbourne for a couple years back in the late 80's and got my first taste of Cold Chisel when I heard this song on the radio. I live in Kansas, USA now, but I still have fond memories of those days. These guys got 'hosed' by their record company. I think they could've made it big in America!

[JonathanJonnoJones]

@argonaught11 I'm from the UK. I am a MASSIVE Chis fan as well as Powderfinger and The Oils. Love Aussie music, BEST in the WORLD in my humble opinion.

[holydiver73]

Now I feel good! first time I've heard that song in over 18 years. It was Steve's sad death that made me look it up again.

Brilliant song!

[MrGrog88]

your not wrong about it being loud, i had it up full ball and i almost shit myself

[450hp202turbo]

i didnt see the warning hole shit, blow my head off hahaha! i had my logitech g35s wound up lol"

[stevelewis3]

R.I.P Steve...

[sapphire60s]

LOVE THE CHISEL...

[BigBearVids]

I remember jammin' to this with my Aussie buddy and case of Foster Oil cans.! 1990! yup→ in the USA!

[leebouldog]

Not a fan of Chisel, but this song kicks ass. Punk as fuck.

[foggy223334]

Never too Loud for for a genuine Chisel fan . Love it .

[ipsilon160]

@foggy223334 full volume is the only way to listen to them

[aussie260669]

I used to hate this video when I was growing up because Jimmy Barnes wore an Eastern Suburbs jersey - I was a Balmain supporter back then :)

[jonquills66]

@aussie260669 I didn't even hate it. I felt instantly alienated and separate from the song and the band. I knew Barnesy was from Adelaide and here he was wearing a rugby league jumper! WTF??!! If anything he should've been wearing an Aussie Rules top. To this day it still rankles.

[Filante15]

@jonquills66 I love Aussie mistrust of other States. Gold.

[jonquills66]

@Filante15 It's such an Aussie thing isn't it? Thankfully I'm over that nowadays and the song only brings back some good memories of growing up in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide. A far cry from living in West London! :)

[maynjustadamdann]

@jonquills66 I agree with wearing an oz rules guernsey, best fucking game ever, but barnes is from scotland

[jonquills66]

@maynjustadamdann born in scotland, grew up in Elizabeth, SA

[jonquills66]

@aussie260669 I didn't even hate it. I felt instantly alienated and separate from the song and the band. I knew Barnesy was from Adelaide and here he was wearing a rugby league jumper! WTF??!! If anything he should've been wearing an Aussie Rules top. To this day it still rankles.

[footienz]

Mighty FINE song!!

[bansaipipeline]

Rad Easts jumper!

[ipsilon160]

there has to be more then 19,000 Cold Chisel are so damn good

[MeatCloud]

Yay!!

I chalked up view number 19000!



[nzoz1981]

@MeatCloud Thank you soooo much for that!!!!!

[munga4518]

@MeatCloud OVA 9000!!!

[ipsilon160]

the best band in Australia. i would love to see them live, if they tour Australia i will get front row seats no hesitation

[ipsilon160]

good old Aussie music the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be. Sorry Bret Hart sort of had to borrow that line.

Mossy is a legend

[figs1984]

love this song, just raw as and chuggy, and then jimmy's shreaking voice over the top is just awesome...wish this type of music came back into fashion...and im only 25! im sick of the garbage around today.

[offspringfan41588]

I cant believe these guys never had success in america, I saw a ton of their videos on here and needless to say...I'm buyin one of their cd's on amazon. Seeing as I cant find their music anywhere here. I havent heard a song yet I dont like, thanks for posting!

[Apis4]

@offspringfan41588 This song is a reply to what they where asked to do TO have US success ;-).. they could have had it, but it would have compromised their ethics and creativity beyond what they could accept, the US execs just seemed to think they slip them in the same machine which churned out the early 80s hair band rock scene, not that I dislike that music myself, but they just got chisel all wrong, their loss.. I dont think these guys ever reggretted telling them where to stick it.

[ipsilon160]

@Apis4 too right. Chisel could always put on a good show like last month when they performed for 20,000+ people at the Deni Ute Muster. it was electric, fucking awesome glad i went to the event it was top notch shit i would definitly pay to see them again even if it is top dollar that i would have to pay to see them

[NealeinMI]

"I don't want to have to be the one to shut your yapping hole." lol

[MoonDoggiez1]

I was an American kid living in Adelaide in '82. Saw Cold Chisel in Adelaide Stadium. They F'n rocked it! Still love this music. Thanks for keeping all the great early 80s songs alive.

[lvmscinco]

Growing up in the US, this was the only Cold Chisel I remember hearing! I like it!

[ipsilon160]

there is no need for it to be quiet. Cold Chisel needs to be loud other wise it isn't right.

[Kim521970]

What a great spray .. NZOZ you are a champion, although i think i may be spending way too many night reliving my youth :) thanks for posting these ..

[nzoz1981]

@Kim521970 No worries... and thank you!

[JackADL1]

Absolutely top Aussie band

[pixelomat]

There is another version of this clip with NO edits - just one shot. I know, I made them....

[cathyvh06]

Cold f'n Chisel! Bow down people!!

[Dazlee0010]

A fanrtastic song from December 1981.

[PanayotiProductions]

fuck barnsies a machine! as aussie as a straight 6 commo engine!

[DIONYSES000AD]

what do you call a bonehead who just doesnt get the message?

[ipsilon160]

@DIONYSES000AD the Americans lol or was it the British

[DIONYSES000AD]

This is an aussie thing. If you scream this at someone in Australia they either usually leave (or punch you in the nose). In Europe they don't get it. They hang around ?! Or it's a chick thing, anywhere - they never get it - they tend to think it's not real. I expect the yanks get it - they tend to understand brutal directness - but maybe not the liberal-left wingers.

[TheGoodoldrob]

ian moss is a god of guitar and his method should be taught at primary schools,cold chisel will rock 4ever!!!

[61SGman]

@TheGoodoldrob haha ian moss looks like my maths teacher :P

[jms2107]

Nzoz, awesome listings! Just spent the last hour listening/watching your music vids; keep up the good work!

[MickG3]

Classic Cold Chisel music, Jimmy Barrnes Rules

[slaxwell55]

@MickG3 Few more R's in Barrrrrrrrrrnes...BARRRRRRRNES­YYYYYYYYY..LOL Just havin fun Buddy..Australian Rock is THE BEST!!!!!!

[RedBackPoker]

Hey nzoz,

Still the best channel on youtube.

Just a heads up, The Mentals song 'Too many times' is giving the error...

This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions

which is weird because I'm in Aus.

[nzoz1981]

let me check up on that! Hang on a tik!

[munga4518]

@RedBackPoker cause it's a shit song but disorientates sheep so nz gets it and we dont.

[adh158]

I cannot believe the low viewings on these videos! I'm common... 10183?! (183 of which are mine). Tiger Woods turns up an snogs his adulterer on the second at Kingston Heath and gets 200 000 views that day.

[billd01rfc]

Correct - best Chisel song ever! They wrote it about their experience on a trip to the gold old USA and meeting (or non-meeting actually) with corporate record company execs. . . apparently the friend's uncle's mother's cousin's dog had a birthday party - so the exec couldn't meet with Chisel. . .

[aaronzimpel]

best fucking song ever! I believe they wrote it about the 1 and only tour in the USA

[gfcsarah]

Ahhh this song is great when ya need a pick me up lol!

[FFSuKNTfkr]

Barnesy is a god over here in WA.... Just saw him in Doodlakine again... OMFG fucking awesome

[reallylongusrename]

Chisels answer to American record executives.

[novicarious]

Almost as good ?!! WTF ? Better. and if you've ever been to at least one Chisel gig in your life...you would know they are So much better. ACDC of course they are as good. as for the others...they never were in the same league as Cold Chisel.

Thank you for posting. no 'trends...'  ever followed here. Awesome

[RikkiX69]

This is almost as good as Rose Tattoo, AC/DC, & The Angels!!! I'm impressed!!! A SOLID ROCKER!!!!

[nzoz1981]

Rikki.... i know you posted this a month ago but re-reading it I'm going to have to correct you. They were equal to the bands you mentioned. You may be new to Chisel, but over here in Oz they are legends and we do not place them underneath the bands you mention. They were equal.. no, they were better than the bands you mentioned and I mean it as somebody who knows Australian rock.

[ReggieBegins]

@nzoz1981 amen

[ipsilon160]

@nzoz1981 very well said mate. it took me a while to get used to cold chisel but after a while i never looked back. they are an awesome band. they are better then any band that comes from Australia

[ColdChiselRox]

@RikkiX69 You claim that Chisel is ALMOST as good as those bands. Did you notice that AC/DC do pretty much nothing but hard rock? Same with the others. Cold Chisel have a variety. They can do just about anything. And Don Walker's lyrics and far more meaningful than any other ones I've heard and seriously, did you not hear Ian Moss on guitar? Just think about it. Because Cold Chisel really are the best that Aussie rock can offer.

[ipsilon160]

@ColdChiselRox right on there mate. Cold Chisel the difinitive Aussie rock band.

[parker00pen]

Regarded as the definitive example of Australian pub rock.

AWESOME

[cregs74]

Cheers for the tip, not loud enough though. Great tune, great Aussie band,

[Bardanh]

<33

[remylp123]

5 stars!!!

[Lise072]

Absolute GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[manabrau]

awesome!!!

[TheGend]

This is Aus rock classicism. To those who don't understand what I mean, I mean this: Arrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhh.

[jahero]

the louder the better !!

[barticus04]

Great chisel classic...especialy as it sticks it up a record company who thinks it could have changed a great Aussie band! What a sweet revenge!!

[rabbitoh65]

Geez whats up with that person. Classic song from a grate album, really gave it to the yanks with this song..A big welcome back to Australia Album and Song...5stars from me..

[nzoz1981]

i'll say this is the most discrete way possible.

You chose the wrong band to state an opinion about. You really should have kept that to yourself.

Luckily, only 473 people have read it to far. I don't like your chances as the viewing tally rises.

[AnGeIWhiP]

im agree with the gend too lol

[EffectiveIrritant]

I agree with TheGend, anyone who hasn't screamed this at the top of their lungs after breaking up with a girl (or guy for you ladymen out there) hasn't lived. Of course, having a gutful of strong liquor helps too..... Thanks for posting nzoz

[nzoz1981]

no worries mate!
