Imagine growing up in Sydney, Australia in the mid to late 70's when bands like Ac/DC, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Skyhooks, Rose Tattoo, Sherbet, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Richard Clapton, and many many more were playing the pubs and clubs. And I loved every second of it

This genre my friends, is Aussie Pub Rock!

The harmonica player isn't running the sound through anything to get that sound, that's him making all of it. It's how you breath, pushing and suck the air through the harmonica you get the sounds.

There are no effects on the harmonica. That is just talent.

David Blight is a harmonica virtuoso - inducted into the South Australian Music Hall of Fame in 2015

Can you believe these guys struggled to get a gig outside Australia? Gives you some idea of the state of the music “industry”. It’s such sweet vindication watching reaction videos from people from all over the world have their heads explode when seeing this. This is what Australians grew up listening to in the 70s, 80s & 90s. Everyone thought we were a down under backwater!!!

Cold Chisel is the greatest rock and roll band in the world. This is not open for debate.

Welcome to "Aussie pub rock", the greatest music in the world . AC/DC, the Angels , Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, the Radiators, Rose Tattoo and many more. What a blessing to be a teenager growing up in Sydney in the 70's.

No distortion just one of the top harmonica players on the planet

In my opinion one of the most underrated bands on planet earth!

WELCOME to Australian music. There is a lot more the world hasn't heard or seen. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

If you want to hear some more Aussie 'pure gold' harmony than check out Jimmy Barnes (the second raspy-voiced singer in this song) and John Farnham singing, 'When Something Is Wrong With My Baby', along with Diesel. The best version is from a show named. "Hey, Hey, It's Saturday" and it's LIVE. It's fantastic!

Bow river in this song is a place in Australia's Kimberly region it is a tributary of the Ord river system that runs in to Lake Argyle. The singer Ian Moss is from the Northern Territory and he is singing about leaving his work at a car factory and running up north to the place he wants to be.

Growing up with these bands in Australia, we just think "yea that's Chisel they always sound like that" it's good honest rock & roll.

just another night at an Aussie pub

Cold Chisel one of the greatest bands to come from Australia

If you think that harmonica playing was good, look up John Farnhams concert track 'Chain Reaction' it starts with a two to three minute intro (Awesome). Also John and Jimmy Barnes have been good friends for years look up a track called 'Somethings wrong with my baby' preferably a live concert version (there is about 4 different KZfaq video's) believe me you will not be disappointed! Finally I don't know what you have all been doing for the past 30 to 40 years, but here in Australia we have been rocking it!

Jimmy Barnes (backing vocals in this song, but usually lead) and Ian Moss (guitar & vocals) are living legends in Australia. AC DC are much better known, but the Chisels are foundation era Aussie rock. I first saw a very young and raw Cold Chisel play live while attending uni in Sydney in , er 1970 something (ahem) - they blew my mind! Another great Aussie band you should check out is Midnight Oil.

Now you know what good old Aussie rock is.

Welcome to Cold Chisel, love seeing people's reactions to this song. Because as an Aussie and a massive Chisel fan I've heard this song 100s of times and know what's coming, but still love to see your reactions. The harmonica player has played with the band for over 40years and is only a guest player( does tours/live shows and the occasional track on albums) he's a master at his craft, call and respond that he and Mossy(guitarist) can put into a live show is awesome(usually the intro to Bow River)

Check out Cold Chisel “Wild Thing” live. It will blow your mind.

Dave Blight is the harmonica player, an absolute legend of a bloke

Some good old Aussie talent formed in the 1970’s and still going (with some brief interludes) ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺

Subbed after THE VOICE reaction ,am falling in love with Australian bands

They split up years before this and this was on their reunion tour years later. Middle aged, killing it. They were having fun on this tour.

Cold Chisel (and Barnsey) are from my hometown of Adelaide, South Australia. Thats my mate Dave Blight playing harmonica, plays the best harp solo in Oz Rock. No FX apartr from a little drive/distortion. The tremelo etc is played by him with his mouth.. Also a wonderful guy who regularly jams around Adelaide. And yeah these guys rocked with AC/DC MANY times..

I'm glad our South African cousins across the ocean are getting to see some of our amazing music.

There was an entire multi-decade period in which Australian audiences were more deeply enamoured with home-made Australian rock than they were with American/Brit rock. Aussie pubs were the heart and soul of the local music industry, and the best of them were packed with 'punters' every single week. There are so many bands and solo performers in the glory days of this period and I would bet you would know a lot of them: Cold Chisel, Little River Band, ACDC, The Angels, Radiators, Divinyls, and dozens of others. Being a teenagers during this period was several shades of awesome.

Mossy comes in with that gorgeous voice: “I’m about to tell you a story” Harmonica guy: “Oh yeah? Well check this out!” Mossy’s guitar solo: “But wait…” Barnesy: “Hold my beer” It’s all just perfect 🤌🏼

Fantastic reaction! Cold chisel are the best! The best!! Wild thing you need to see! Need. To. See.

Never fails, Aussie Pub Rock royalty right there. Saw them live many times, they never failed to blow my mind. Saw Mossy, together with Troy Cassar Daly live at the Red Hot Summer Festival 2 years ago, still just as good as what he was 50 years ago. We're s lucky to still have so many brilliant musicians in Australia.

Classic Australian Pub rock, our musicians have no option if they aren't fabulous live they don't survive lol.

Really, never heard of Cold chisel? they are Legends.

You might be following an algorithm, but this is a band you will love if you follow the rabbit hole. So much see - next step ..............'Wild Thing' - Cold Chisel (live on The Last Stand). Will blow your mind..

Great reaction! You might like to listen to their rendition of 'Wild Thing'. Also, Lead singer Jimmy Barnes does an awesome duet with John Farnham, 'When something is wrong with my baby'. The guitar on that is just insane.

I think we tended to take it for granted back in the day. Who will we go and see this Saturday night? Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Rose Tattoo, Sports, Men At Work, INXS, The Angels, Hunters and Collectors, Divinyls...and the list goes on. A lot of the great pubs and live venues we had here in Melbourne back then don't even exist anymore.

The Barking Spiders live album gives an idea what Cold Chisel is really like.

Take the advice of others and react to ‘wild thing’, make sure it is the 1983 version not the 1982 one, cover that version for us and ya’s win my subscription 👍🏻

Welcome to my childhood, 20's, 30's and now my 40's. Still love this song.

Cold Chisel are the GOAT of rock bands! 🇦🇺👏👏👏👏

Bow River is probably Cold Chisel's greatest song. The magic is in the build of tension. It starts with Mossy's beautiful, clean voice. "Listen out to the wind, babe" As the momentum grows, we start to hear Barnsey, adding harmonies here and there. When the whole fire is blazing, Barnesy cuts loose, "One week two weeks, maybe even more, pissed all my money up against the damn wall". Spine chilling. He deserves a place at the table of rock's greatest vocalists.

Welcome to the magic that is Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮👍👍👍

💥BOOM💥 you’re welcome .. Aussie music at its finest👌

They guy's name is David Blight, I used to work with his sister in law. David was very much part of the furniture with Cold Chisel and I've taken for granted just how good he is. Your reaction has made me pay more attention to Dave's talent, thank you. Of course the talents of Barnsey, Mossy, Don etc are also well appreciated. R.I.P. Steve Prestwich - never forgotten! (Check out 'When the War is over')

I couldn’t be more proud to be an Aussie than I am at this moment. Bow River by Cold Chisel is the best ever live band song played.

You can see how spoilt we Australians have been for great music over the years!! Have seen Cold Chisel twice, brilliant!!

Can't go wrong with Chisel!

You have just been introduced to another Aussie rock secret of Cold Chisel. Lead singer Jimmy Barnes (microphone) and Ian Moss singer/ lead guitar and Dave Blight is on harmonica. There are so many great Cold Chisel songs to react to. Jimmy Barnes also sings with John Farnham that you learnt about recently.

I have been loving this band since I was 12. I’m now nearly 55. They will never grow old. Music for my lifetime.

The "backup singer" who screams like he's with AC/DC is actually the lead singer Jimmy Barnes. The main singer in this song is usually the backup singer, they traded places for this song.

Love seeing all my fellow Aussies in the comment section!

Best use of a harmonica in a rock song ever!!

Aussie music in the 60 and 70s was done the hard way. Playing pubs, counry halls, clubs... gritty sweaty dirty... up close and very personal. Every dollar was hard earned and drunk even harder. Chisel was was one of many in bands from blues to country, jazz to heavy metal and all in-between. The big money from Europe and the States gave them the promotion and the nsme, but Aussie music from that era is the best because it came from the sheds, pubs and was accessible to everyone. Just look at chisel contemporaries like the oils, sunnyboys, Aussie crawl, Billy thorpe

WooHoo !!! Glad you guys enjoyed one of Australia's legendary pub rock bands, Cold Chisel !!!!!! They have many many more tracks you would love 😁 As you will see from the comments all great suggestions will come your way, Thank you again for the awesome reaction guy's 👏👏👏

as a guitar fan the best two videos undeniably are both australian, tommy emmanuel doing classical gas, and john butler doing ocean, both will rock your world

Seriously… we’ve had some freaking awesome bands in Australia. This has always been my favourite Cold Chisel song.

You should have seen these guys in the 80’s. They were freaking incredible. Great reaction. Go down the Aussie Rock rabbit hole, you’ll never want to leave 👏👏🥳

The lead guitarist and lead singer in this song is Ian Moss and the other singer is Jimmy Barnes. There are so many great song's from Cold Chisel for you to drool over and then you have a huge catalog from Jimmy Barnes's solo career which started in the 80,s and is still going today. Jimmy recently released two song's just after his 66th birthday Soothe Me with Sam Moore and Do you love me with Josh Teskey. He also just toured Australia and New Zealand performing his 30th anniversary of his Soul Deap album which is his highest selling album.

Cold Chisel and ACDC are The classic Aussie pub rock band and they're still massive in Australia, Chisel rocked hard, Played Hard and Indulged Hard Jimmy Barnes (the guy in the black T-Shirt singing) famously admitted he used to do 10 grams of Cocaine, six to eight ecstasy and three bottle of Vodka a day, they fortunately cleaned up their act. These guy play working man rock their songs were about the working man like Bow River a song about working all week and heading out on the weekend. They also produced one of the three great Aussie songs about war Khe Sanh a song about a man coming back from Vietnam a hard rock classic. pick just about any of their music and you will get a mind blowing mix of rock and blue. You need to check out more of their stuff

This is Mossy's finest work. I've seen this song worked so many ways live. The Chisel boys going flat out, Mossy doing a slow solo acoustic or Mossy and his touring band playing it. I saw the boys here in Canberra right at the end of the bushfires a couple of years back. Hot night in the Capital but the old farts rocked hard. Apart from the sad passing of Steve Prestwich, they have remained the same line up. Don Walker is the highest ranking musician within the band, he got it started, penned so many songs and melodies, legend.

''Pissing all my money up against the wall''...classic

I love your reaction to this! I have watched your reactions a few times on a few of our Aussie legends!!! You make me smile and just enjoy the music again!!!! 🎶 thank you guys! I love your reactions!!!

Chisel, live at Manly, 1980, Knocking On Heaven's Door. Moss's guitar and Walker's keyboards across the Aussie night, then Jimmy blasting out the final verse. Still makes my pores raise.

I can,t believe you have not heard more harmonica playing . Aussie music has always been some of the best in the world .

Oh gosh...we are so lucky here in Oz. A lot of our best bands paid their dues in the pub scene in the 70's and 80's and honed their skills. They have a a great raw sound that just blows us away. Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss are two of the best. fantastic band.

Welcome to Cold Chisel. Simply one of the greatest bands to come out of Australia. We proudly hail them as complete Champions :)

They're one of THE most iconic Aussie rock bands.

Never forget them at the Bondi lifesaver in the 80's with Barnsey running the full-length of the bar kicking beers out of the way with a bottle of vodka in hand. On their night they were unbelievable and unbeatable.

Glad that you loved Cold Chisel. The harmonic is amazing on the live performance as is the harmony between Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes. When you listen to this again, the lyrics in this song are also amazing. Glad you love it. You can do worse things than going down the Cold Chisel rabbit hole. Truely Australian legends

Great in the studio ... GREATER live. Big venue, little venue, outdoors someone's backyard lawn - Chisel could take you on a RIDE anywhere. Proper legends in Australia with a slew of songs embedded in our psyche. Glad you enjoyed them so much.

Such a great song Jimmy and Mossy compliment each other's voices without outdoing each other! So many great songs, always best live.

Love this so much... the best pub band ever.... all brilliant... together just off the charts... best live band I have ever seen.

Ahhhh great Aussie rock, what a way to grow up listening to so many great bands, Ian Moss such a great singer and a monster on the guitar... So many great memories

No effects back then, just circular breathing and extreme talent. Aussie Rock of the 80s at its finest - love it!

The lead singer in this particular song (Ian Moss) does an acoustic version of Bow River, check it out…another different level again.

Every musician in this band is incredible....

There is a Bow River in Ireland. Another in Canada. And there are three of them in Australia. The Bow River of the song is in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. There is a diamond mine at Bow River.

Best line-" piss all my money up against the damm wall "

Welcome to Aussie pub rock! There is a whole lot more to blow your mind and enjoy. Thanks for your mind blowing reaction. Glad you enjoyed. 🇦🇺👏👍👌

Good ole classic Aussie rock and blues.

Watch the same guys do "when the war is over" live....... Ian sings most the song, silky smooth and heartfelt, Jimmy comes in and sounds like a gravel truck is sneaking into the song, a heartfelt gravel truck.... the whole thing is a work of art that is Cold Chisel.

This was an epic performance, glad you discovered this great band, bet it won’t be the last reaction to Cold Chisel or Jimmy Barnes

Cold Chisel had some success with the album East in the USA (Top 50 I think) but producers then wanted them to alter their style to suit American taste. They of course told them to get stuffed and then made their most Australian album ever - Circus Animals. The song You got Nothing I want is about the American music industry. And Bow River is on that album.

More than band like watching history seeing them live.

Jimmy Barnes and family and Cold Chisel. seen them countless times, still one of the best singers going today

The very best band ever and from the hints that are being dropped, there'll be a tour announcement made VERY soon. I used the "the money I save won't buy my youth again" line in my retirement letter 4 years ago and I got to see Chisel at Glenelg a week or so later and then again at Tauranga on the day after my 65th birthday in Feb 2020. I've met Jimmy heaps of times in recent years and have met and had a chat with Mossy a few time in the last couple of years. I told him that I'd used a line from Bow River in my retirement letter. He thought that was pretty cool.

Just another Saturday night in the era of the best pub scene anywhere in the world in Australia in the 80's/90's.

You mention AC/DC, well those two bands hit the Australian rock scene in the same year, they both went on to mega sucess though AC/DC went global while Chisel toured America and didn't like being away from home so they came back. They are both huge in Australia, but they drifted into solo careers. Jimmy Barnes the second singer in this clip went on to have the ten top selling albums in Australian history. While Ian Moss the guitarist and first singer is regarded as one of the best guitarists in the world with people like Joe Walsh comparing him to Eric Clapton. they are Australian icons and have been since about 1976.

I used to see them live in small clubs in the early 80s. that was an epic time for pub rock.

One of my all time favourite Aussie bands I have been to numerous gigs over the years I love Jimmy Barnes and saw him last year and he still has it

I love watching you guys react to our mind bending Aussie talent. I grew up with ACDC, Cold Chisel, John Farnham and the like. Our music scene is second to none. Try some earlier Rock Gods, like Russell Morris and his Wings of an Eagle. His music in the 70s was and is still amazing, and Russ just continues to extend and reinvent himself. Thankyou for your channel ... Seeing your reactions to music we may take for granted, lets us rediscover our musical addictions for the first time all over again! ❤️🇦🇺

Cold Chisel, the world's greatest pub band.

You need to listen to more cold chisel. Iconic here in Australia.

Yeh. Harmonica MAGIC. 🇦🇺

I saw Ian Moss, the guitarist, in Adelaide years ago at the Heaven nightclub. What an awesome gig that was. These guys have so many great songs.

Great review Aussie pub rock 70s 80s s90 bring it back.🔥🇭🇲

You also need to keep in mind they are all in their 50's in this performance. Wind the clock back 25 years and have a listen.

Great reaction guys!. Awsome to see you got the same buzz I experienced listening to David Blight on harmonica..Cold Chisel had many great songs...Checkout "When the war is over" from the same concert. Just sublime.

I'm glad I came across this. Downloading now, my kind of music. The opening bars sounded like the singer was chanelling Janis Joplin. There is also a touch of the Eagles courntry rock style at the begining too.

Saw this band in 1976 at my high school. Hooked on them ever since.
