JImbo sings the sensibility of the australian working class with a TRUE spirit. Chisel sing the flavor of the aussie guy like no one else. Tough men fighting privately to conceal their emotions.
Australian or Scottish who cares, The music is all around us and through us. The music is bigger than any of us.
Barnesy is a true legend and so are Chisel... mossy's guitar work and just blows me away
dont mater who hates him ( or chisel), fact is that if we are still here in 100 years there still gonna play it on the radio everyday. would hate to be someone who actually didnt like them, just imagine having to keep your radio on one of them poofter stations, cause there the only ones who dont play it
Haha ppl, don't let Stanley fool you.. he loves it; he's just highlighting how good Jimmy is, by being the SINGLE disliker. Clever stuff, Stan, not to mention quite decent of you, to bear all the grief being aimed. Thanks, mate. ;)
@StanleyWiddos So go and insult that somebody, then. To pick a fight with Jimmy Barnes fans is unwise. How'd you like it if we visited all your favourite clips and disrespected them?
@StanleyWiddos You're visiting a clip put up by a Barnesy fan, so be a nice guest and mind your fucking manners. Jimmy Barnes is known and loved by a multitude, but who the fuck knows you? You're a pimple on the arse of YouTube.
If you don't like Barnesy what brings you here? Came here for a fight didn't you? Piss off you hypocritical turd.
You are all English , in the begining so relax , and i find it strange that the conversation should consist of what a man drinks , when the music is what brings people to the page
its Don Walker that made Cold Chisel great not Barnsey, though he screams good... i spose hes good... i find him pretty annoying sometimes... but yeah still an icon
@ferret630 yes but take phill , steve jim, and ian out of the picture and hmmm well its not gona sound like chisel and lets not forget thats why everyone bought there records because they liked the sound and songs of cold chisel its like saying a motor is the most important on a car,,, what about the rest of it thats what makes that car great you need all those parts to make COLD CHISEL...cheers..
There is no one like Jimmy, he is simply the best. I love this song, and when I hear his beautiful voice sing this, or any other song, it transports me to a happy place.
This is why we risk our lives day in and day out. 3RAR to the end. At the end of every tour having a beer and listening to Jimmy makes the sacrifices worth it.
@laidbackmama Mossy is not in this film clip man! I've known and loved this song for so long but have only recently just started singing it in the cover band I sing for and I've know listened to about 5 different live versions and each has it's own brilliance. You can hear a big difference between the early versions when Barnsey was using foldback wedges as opposed to when he's using in ear monitors!
there is no better way to ease the pain of a bad day than a stiff drink and some jimmy barnes god bless your soul jimmy your music will never be forgotten not while i'm still breathing anyway!
I'm aussie. Fosters tastes like shit. Bbqs are quite good though. But no Fosters. Cralton draught, Coopers, West End. XXXX (4 ex) Bitter, James Boags, Victorian Bitter, Tooheys... I could go on for a while... Shit, Strongbow... But NO Fosters.
@charliedontsurf100 I'm an Aussie, and would certainly agree with the beer choices. Fosters is shit. I don't know any aussie who drinks Fosters. Have you tried Little Creatures? It's the shit! Top stuff. But I digress. Barnsey is one of the sounds/flavours of Oz. Just to hear his voice is to be home.
He is aussise. You dont need to be born here to be aussie.You just have to embrace our way of life and NEVER let your mates down. Barnesy tunes are best enjoyed with mates and a few drinks. All his lyrics, stories and feelings he sings about are Australian flavours. This is a forum for chisel/barnes fans not people who dont know who they are. All i care about is that you love this country and would die for it like thousands have before you. If you don't, then your not aussie
@whthfrk So then, dude, by your own definition, neither Jimmy Barnes, or Steve Prestwich are Australian, is that what you're saying? Such a stupid thing to say - just saying ;-)
re. jimmys nationality .... as a scot id say hes an Aussie but thats realy up too Jimmy to say .... does it realy matter though .... there both lovely countrys with great people who value human kindness .... be kind be good be nice
I was born and brought up in Australia. My mums family goes back to the Irish convicts. My dads paternal line is Sweiss. However, the men married Irish and french women. My grandmother has some English and Italian.On appearance most people think I am a green eyed,Italian with an Aussie accent. I've never had a strong attachment to nationality.I could be nothing other than Australian.However, I consider myself a universal citizen.I'm currently living in Korea.
Got your reply mate and I agree that Australian culture has had an influence on him quite naturally since he has lived there from a young age but there is no denying the fact that he is Scottish since both his parents are Scottish and he was born in Scotland. i don't want to be pedantic about the fact but it's true! Anyway I think that we should just relax and enjoy the man as he is, a true god of rock and a brilliant singer.
He was indeed born there, but by his up bringing he is Australian, he has lived there for almost all of his life. Where you are born doesn't necessarly (and always) define what nationality you really are. For me he was, is , and will be Australian.
