Never heard this song in 80s U.S.A. Had to find it in later years. What a classic. More than holds up 30+ years later. So simple, so timeless.

[nzoz1980]

the reason why you didn't hear this song is because the singer punched their US promoter and the band fucked up a few dates they did with Ted Nugent. Vince Neil of

Mötley Crüe complained in his recent autobiography that Elektra were putting so much effort in breaking Chisel in the US that they ignored his newly signed band. In my opinion, if Chisel would have had success in the US and everywhere else.. too bad, another great Aussie band only known by mostly Aussies/Kiwis.
