Cold Chisel are a timeless band. One of the last real talents. Maybe not as many kids 'listen' to them these days, but when you play a chisel song, they stand up and listen. And they might not admit it, but they wonder what they missed out on.

As an English guy introduced to them in 1988 - all i can say is they might just be the greatest rock band the world never got to know. They hold many memories for me especially associated witht girl who introduced them to me. Henny I remember you through these guys and the music lives on !!!!!!! I own every damned CD they ever put out and I treasure them all !!! Thanks Australia !!!!!

so sad that this has never been something more than just an underrated band. all their songs are amazing and i love how their videos are also pretty and simple while entertaining at the same time. glad to find more people still listening to them ;)))

The girl in the video, Anna Lee, sang at my wedding in June 1983. Lovely gal and has the greatest singing voice herself. Her brother is Mark Lee, who starred in Gallipoli with Mel Gibson.

Oh yeah and that's from a pom! Came across chisel when backpacking round OZ 20 years ago never been the same since! What a country, what a band :-)

[TheMossymonks]

In the words of tina turner chisel are "simply the best " band ever to walk Gods earth! I will die a happy man having been 3 feet away from Jimmy singing this song in nottingham in 2006 :-)
