To Dickstermandster: You Aussies deserve all of the credit for them. They know it and we the rest of the world know it. I just wish we could have seen more of Jimmy in his prime.
Jimmy, AC/DC, John Farnham, ONJ may have been born elsewhere, but it was Aussies who supported them to become what they are so we deserve to take some credit.
@dickstermandster You Aussies deserve all of the credit not just part of it. They know it we the rest of the world know it. I just wish we could have seen Jimmy in his prime.
@Dutter65 Hey buddy, I hope you are well. The thing about Jimmy is that he is probably singing better now than he ever did. He is sober now and has been for a while, and as a live musician I believe he is without peer. It doesn't matter where he was born, we should enjoy his talent and passion that he puts into every song and not worry about where he comes from. Look for the Party Boys "He's gonna step on you again". the lead sing is his half brother. John Swan. Great voice as well. Cheers mate
@actrapid9 Guy Sebastion won the The Australian Idol and he is not australian? and Dean Guyer entered The Australian Idol and he is from south africa? so dude who cares Jimmy barnes is just as Aussie as us all.
Once I heard this man can cause an earthquake by his voice. After I saw Jimmy performing this song at the closing ceremony of Sydney Olympics 2000, I'm convinced, he CAN.
Actually paranormalchef is right. This IS a great tune, and while nobody does it like Barnsey, it was written and produced by Journey (formed in San Francisco) keyboardist Jonathan Cain (born in Chicago)
A huge deserved hit in Oz, here in the USA it's pretty much unknown despite its 'wild mid western' origins :)
if just once I could step in front of this man...how with few words I could relate what he's given our souls...how if only he had a clue...how he touched our hearts......
@namishrean A great Scotsman he is ndeed... and yep weve claimed him, Jimmy and cold chisel pretty much summed up aussie life back in the late 70s 80s I miss those days so much..
Absolutely spot on mate. All these stupid bogans populating the jimmy barnes and Cold chisel vids need to fuck off. Its embarassing as an Australian to see that "Aussie Pride" shit on the vids for one of our greatest musicians. All there racist views and intolerance is the exact opposite of what jimmy was about. I mean his wife is Thai for christ sake. He is all about a fair go for EVERYONE.
First time I've scene this concert where is it at....dead set we need chisel to be reformed for one more concert im 27 an I've never seen them live ....
Thank God there is Jimmy Barnes on here, he is the coolest and best hard rocker of all time. This is my fav song he sings and he is absolutely amazing in concert too. Go Barnsey !!!
Now this is what you call music.
im only 16 years of age and i listen to all the old school bands. you no why!
Because it's reall music and it's about life and stories and mean something.
And im Glad to have old school in me. wish more of the younger generation did.
