The only thing "Jimmy" managed to do (other than singing), was to NOT wear a condom and try and repopulate Australia single handedly. A son, twin girls ... what next? ( Along with his legit kids). He created a burden to the tax paying public and misery to the women he abandoned. Not impressed. Perhaps thats why he is not as loved as other Aussie performers. Any git can sing (Shannon Noll proved that). All care and no responsibility, just like the Apes in the Zoo,

[nzoz1979]

@CarbonSXMonkey I found Jimmy Barnes to be graceful, when I briefly met him in person... his brother John Swan is even more friendly... full of hugs and face-touching, I thought he was coming on to me...

Yeah, its all caught up with him now... oh well...

[shadowzone69]

@nzoz1979 Jimmy donated money to support Autism in Australia after I met him once. He has a very big heart for the people of this country

[nzoz1979]

@shadowzone69 I'm sure he does... seems to care about people and what they think of him... no arrogance there!

[cj382]

they have that "ACDC" sound.

[nzoz1979]

@cj382 Try, if you have the time, to listen to some of their other tracks ('Choir Girl', 'Cheap Wine'). They were more a songwriting based band than AC/DC. Given that singer Jimmy Barnes, like Bon Scott, is Scottish-born, and like Bon, grew up in Adelaide, I am quick to say that they weren't attempting to bring on the AC/DC sound. In fact, the AC/DC sound is a product of the Australian pub-rock sound, which pre-dates AC/DC. AC/DC did have a sound of their own, but like Chisel, its pub roots

Man why wasnt I alive 30 years ago when they toured the states? I woulda bought tickets to their show in a heartbeat. When it comes to good music, us americans are as blind as bats sometimes. Seeing the Cold Chisel videos on the Nzoz channels made me discover them and now I own a bunch of their cd's. I also bought some Jimmy Barnes solo stuff too. Fuckin awesome!

[wellyes]

do they pay their royalties directly to Pete Townsend?

[Dutchy1965]

whats the NZ link here ? Hopefully none !

[ash2293]

im only 18 but dad always fed chisel into me sense i was born and we went to see them on friday and it was the best concert ive every been to

[Rodakgreen]

does anyone know where I can find this original trac, not live?

[Rodakgreen]

It does have a little combination sound of ACDC and Jimmy Barnes. Sounds GOOD!!!

[crustydownunder]

@CarbonSXMonkey Seemed there were no shortage of willing, slack, groupies to choose from either. A lady just doesn't behave that way. it's alright to pin it all on Jim, but they should take at least half the blame. In fact, if your gunna sleep around like a whore, you probable should take your own precautions.

@nzoz1979 Soooooo True I met "Swanee" he's awesome ..very nice guy....

[YourEvilLem0n]

@CarbonSXMonkey

I can't agree more!! What an animal! Having a whole 3 kids! Bloody animal. No one in Australia deserves to have 3 kids! Useless waste of an Australian right there, turning his life from drug and alcohol abuse into something a little better. Bloody "ape".
