Jimmy Barnes was in a band called Cold Chisel. You have to check out Bow River live version. You wo t be disappointed.

John has an enormous catalogue of songs going back over 50 years. His talent is indisputable. He can sing any genre of music and is a talented songwriter. What you have reacted to is just a small taste of what he can do. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Anything live from these 2 is life changing. I recommend watching this song live

And with Jimmys brother in law on the guitar..... Johnny Diesel who had his own band, Johnny Diesel and the Injectors..... this is truly brilliant Aussie music..... and us Aussies are so excited now with the internet that we can share our music with the world.... it truly is world class..... it's just a freaking long way away lmao

He is much loved in Australia, and is known to be very generous with those he works with them giving time to appreciate them with collaborations, like "Amazing Grace" he sings with two of his background singer's and "Angels" he Sings with another background singer he refers to them as his friends.

Jimmy and John are really good friends and have vast amounts of respect for each other. Both are amazing obviously. Jimmy's original band Cold Chisel is also worth checking out as are Jimmy's many duets with other bands and singers. (Cold Chisel had two vocalists and this set Jimmy up really well for working with other singers.)

Barnsey and Farnsey... two Aussie LEGENDS!!!! 💕

My favourite version. Contextual. 2 guys talking over a few whiskeys in pub setting. Perfect.

This song is off the chain. So dam great 💔💔💔

Awesome and genuine reaction!!! Thank you very much 😁 John is a special talent as is Jimmy Barnes so glad you enjoyed it as much as we do, as you will notice from the comments how much we love our national treasures ✌✌✌

One of those perfect music videos !

Both Aussie legends. John is the same era as the BeeGees. They were all knocking out songs here in Australia at the same time before the BeeGees went back to England in the late 60s.

Great reaction, and if you thought that was good. You should see them do it live. Two Aussie Legends, two pissed as crickets Best Mates Farnsey and Barnsey having a great time. Both have huge catalogues of unbelievable music. Try John... Help or You're The Voice, live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. And Jimmy Four Walls or Working Class Man.

Thank you, such a wonderful song! I got chills the 5th time I listened to it, such talent!

I'm Australian, and the story goes, that they had so many takes on this, they were getting slowly drunker with every take, (yep, real whiskey (or whatever) in those glasses). You can tell by the way they start laughing as the clip goes on. Apparently, John Farnham got lost in his car after it was over and couldn't find his way home, hahahahaha.

Jimmy Barnes more current song - 'Stone Cold' featuring Joe Bonamassa (US Blues guitarist) - sensational song - Jimmy my favorite singer - grew up listening to him with Cold Chisel and then as a solo artist since then - amazing voice in my opinion - always sings with passion

Welcome to a bunch of Aussie Legends. Yes - Joyous. Farnsie & Barnsie 'male bonding' over a pint. NO! Not a pint - whisky! Must be Serious then! 😂 These two have their own very different individual careers, but are great mates - This is a great mix. { Barnsie in a Suit! That's hilarious! 🤣} The brilliant guitarist is another star; singer and songwriter as well; Johhny Diesel. Enjoy your exploration of Aussie musical brilliance. 😆👍

Ok, you can see what these blokes can do and people are pointing you in all the right directions. Another you would absolutely love would be Bow River by Cold Chisel , Jimmy was usually the front man but that particular song features Ian Moss as the main vocalist with Jimmy backing him up. Probably the maddest harmonica playing of all time and just a bunch of real musicians having the time of their lives. The live performance at their reunion concert is the best version of it.

Yeah bruz these guys I would love to see perform live Aussie legends, check out the live performance from Hey Hey it's Saturday, you'll have just as much likes and comments as this video. You will enjoy it just as much Great reaction 🔥🤘🏽

And the drinks were probably real..😁. They are two of our best! ❤🇦🇺❤️

Both our Aussie legends

The guitarist is also a famous musician down here in Aussie, his name is Johnny Diesel and he had a band in the 80's called Johnny Diesel & The Injectors - I would recommend checking out his song called 'Cry in Shame" and "Since I fell For You" - And a side note - His wife and Jimmy Barnes wife are sisters!! ;)

The three Aussie icons together, Jimmy, John & Diesel WOW. I'm sorry to the other two but John is the voice of Australia for a real good reason. First he can sing any genre of music, his range is nuts & he's an ace live performer. They all are loved over here in New Zealand as well but John seemed to take off after his whispering jack album. Farnsey is the best live singer I've ever seen, he interacts with the crowd bending down shaking hands without missing a note. He even throws a bit of comedy in.

Great reaction! We do love these guys down here in Oz. You have to check out Jimmy Barnes' duet with Tina Turner singing "Simply the Best".

The live version of this from 'Hey Hey It's Saturday' is incredible. The guitarist is Mark Lizotte. He lead a band Johhny Diesel and The Injectors, and is Jimmy's brother-inlaw.

The more recent Jimmy Barnes video is Stoned Cold featuring Joe Bonamassa on guitar, also a must watch to see what time does to his voice. As for John Farnham, like the chat has been saying, Help with the Orchestra and also Your The Voice. My thoughts go out to Farnsey and his family in these trying times, hope you get better soon mate.

You've stumbled upon 3 of the best Aussie artists of the last 50 or so years. John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, and Diesel (on guitar). Each are individually brilliant performers and entertainers, together they are incredible. Jimmy is the front man of Cold Chisel, a fantastic 'pub rock band', Diesel was front man for 'Johnny Diesel and the Injectors' and John is just.. John Farnham, who has been performing forever. I'd encourage you to take a look at the live performances, not only do they give you the true sound and talent, but you see the great relationship between them and their audiences. Start with John performing live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (Help, You're the Voice), and then, to get a sense of his style and humour, Angels live with his backup singer Lisa Edwards. Honestly, having seen them live, you won't find a bad recording, and you'll see what a wide stylistic range they have. Warning: the rabbit hole is deep, but oh, so enjoyable 😎 🇦🇺

So good thanks Mate

Wow. You did this one. Just fantastic. And yes, Aussie royalty, as are the Bee Gees. Ok they lived in Australia from 58 to 67 (i think ) but were John Farnhams contemporaries. Barry Gibb, the Bee Gees lead singer, once said that Farnham had one of the best voices in the world. Both Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham were emigrants from the UK in the 50s, as were the Bee Gees. John Farnhams Help with the Melbourne symphony orchestra is even better than this one, if you can believe it. Thanks again. Great reaction.

Barnsley is raw and his belt outs are impressive but they don’t have the shear tone and punch of Farnsey.

His range is insane he can belt out he top nots without a lead up. I am envious of you hearing these for the first time. A concert with John and his back ups with the MSOrchestra is just unbelievable. He is so loved for decades.
