- This is a reaction video to Cold Chisel performing "Wild Thing" live during their Last Stand tour in 1983. This is the Chip Taylor written song performed by so many artists but Cold Chisel absolutely kills it. This is by far the best cover version of this song I have heard to date! The band is simply HOT. The guitarist is absolutely wicked while Jimmy Barnes vocals are simply incredible. You won't be able to take your eyes off this performance. Enjoy ...

cold chisel went to america and the record labels over there told them to make some adaptions for the us market, so they went home in disgust and wrote a song called you got nothing i want in response to the us market
That's how it's done here in Australia.
This was the result of a band touring Aussie pubs for 10+ (at this stage), learning how to entertain, with juxtaposition of volume, (rock, jazz & ballad forms) while learning their art in musicianship. We don't see these kind of artists these days. They continued doing this for years after, and have become iconic legends. For your journey into Cold Chisel, Ian Moss is the lead guitarist, and also a world class singer. Jimmy is one of the best vocalists ever.
Now THAT's how you play Wild Thing!!
They once flew over to try promoting in the US, and they went into an office building to see a head of promotions who was supposed to attend their gig. He said he couldn't do it because he had to attend some DJ's dog's breakfast. They flew back over to Oz and wrote You've Got Nothin I Want!
Jimmy smashed off his absolute face....love it!
Welcome to our best band, in my opinion. Keep delving into this great Aussie band.
As an old Chisel fan, I love seeing all the reactions on CZcams. The band member that always seems to be overlooked is the keyboard player (Don Walker) .... he often simply
holds the band together ( or brings it back together at moments of mayhem). A terrific muso and writer in his own right .... don't overlook / underestimate Don !
Amen👍🏻
Hi @user-hf3vy3hu7i ... In this song the guitar and drums simply took over. I am glad Don was shown in the video hitting the keys. He had a big smile on his face. As I do more Cold Chisel reactions, I will keep the keyboards in mind. Enjoy and RnR ...
Don Walker's song Stone Cold is getting a big run on you tube with Jimmy and Joe Bonamassa in which he gets no credit as the writer.
The US missed out !
💯👍
All of Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham's reactions should be live as their performances are a show in themselves. Check out Ian Moss (guitar player) sing Georgia.
Love to see you rockin' mate. You're enjoying this just the same as I am...cant keep still. Barnsey was amazing & Mossy & the rest of the band were giving 100%😁
Thank you for a wonderful and energetic reaction to our boys. Today marks the anniversary of the passing of Steve Prestwich , shown here on drums. Steve was an original member of the band from 1973. He was born in Beatles territory, Liverpool England, but grew up in Elizabeth, South Australia where Jimmy Barnes also grew up. They met when they were just 15. Steve wrote some of the bands most popular songs including When the War is Over, Flame Trees and Forever now, along with a less famous song but one of my personal favourites, Water into Wine and many other Chisel and solo songs. Steve sadly passed away on 16 January 2011 from surgical complications to remove a brain tumour. I have been working on a tribute video which I wanted to have finished today but due to Covid I’ve been too sick to finish it yet- I hope to have it up within the next few days. Please keep an eye out for it and take a look at the brilliant man that was Steve Prestwich. ❤❤
Again with the good info Dr Kap👍
@@andrewhall9175 thks Andrew, good to hear from you! Shakes is doing his Aussie pub rock nights on Sundays around 7.30pm Aussie time nowadays, would be good to see you there sometime soon! KAP.
Hi my friend. I hope you are recovering from Covid x
I'm glad another reactor is finding the brilliance of Cold Chisel, and Jimmy. RIP to Steve 🕊 16 January 2011
I've watched a few of your CC reactions. You get a sub from this Aussie/Kiwi mate. Good to see ya enjoying the music of my youth.
Loved watchin you get right into this Todd👍 🤘🤘
Yeah I couldn't believe no one in the UK had heard of them when I went there in 90.
As others said, they went to the USA but the wanky record executives told them to change this change that & they said 🖕you & came back & wrote the classic 'You Got Nothin I Want'.
Jimmy is a Scottish born Aussie & used to down a bottle of this n that onstage & wasn't adverse to a bit of 👊👊 so the crowd didn't bother him too much 😄 He was a wild man in his younger days...but is settled way down these days & is a much loved & respected icon 👍👍
His older brother was also a singer - Swanee, had a similar voice. Also his son David Campell from a previous relationship who has a top voice too...& his daughter from his current marriage are singers.
Keep enjoying Todd 👍👍
✌️
Hi @sandgroperwookiee65 ... I am simply amazed with Jimmy's vocals. He has a set of lungs that don't quit. I have had requests for his daughter's recording with Joe Bonamassa which I will be reacting to soon. This is some darned good stuff! Let's rock ...
@@drivingwithtodd1781 yeah Todd, amazing his voice box doesn't pop now n then but it never has lol.
Heaps of Chisel to hear & he has an extensive solo catalogue of hits too 👍
Biggest solo.. Driving Wheels, Working Class Man, No Second Prize are just 3 of them.
You really do need to hit him & John Farnham live with When Something is Wrong with my Baby. It'll bring in the huge John Farnham fan base too 👍...especially HELP by JF with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Live.
🤘🤘
✌️
Brilliant performance, you don't get rock shows like this anymore. Great music and just the right amount of chaos!
Just the greatest live rock band ever. You're going to have a ball checking these guys out.
Next stop is the reunion tour 2003 Ringside tour.
Listen to 'Bow River' and then 'When the war is over'.
You made my day saying this version eclipses Hendrix’s rendition, I have had multiple to and fro’s with people insisting nothing beats Hendrix cover, jimmy barnes vocals slay jimmy hendrix👍🏻
Hi @robrichards585 ... I am a huge Hendrix fan since I first heard "Purple Haze" on the radio in '67 but I always felt there was something missing from his rendition of "Wild Thing" at Monterey. Well what was missing was Cold Chisel's version. It ROCKS!
Bow River, 2003 Ringside Tour news to be next. It's a phenomenal song.
This was when Jimmy Barnes would drink a bottle of vodka before the show and 1 during the concert. Thank God he finally got clean and sober. Between 1998 and 2002 he was knocking back 10 grams of cocaine, six to eight ecstasy pills and three bottles of vodka a day. Like we say, it verges on an act of God that we aren't talking about him in the past tense.When I first started, all the reviews of Cold Chisel would say, "This singer won't have a voice in six months." That was 45 years ago. I've taught myself a different way of singing. See, when a normal person sings, they use their vocal cords …Jimmy uses secondary cords or "false cords". There are groups of them around the main cords. I discovered this many years ago. I'd had a bug, and because it was such a big show and we were postponing, I had to get a doctor's certificate for insurance. This throat specialist put a camera down my throat, and had me talking and singing. And he said, "You don't use your vocal cords." Singers who scream as much as I do tend to have problems. But my body found a way of self-defence.
RELIGION
This makes my heart sing! It makes everything GROOVY for this Grube!
They went to the USA but record execs wanted them to make some changes to their style and wanted to control their “musicality”. Chisel said F.U. and returned to Oz, recording their amazing song “You got nothin’ I want!”
Fantastic reaction, thanks mate.
I listen to Jimmy and Cold Chisel everyday. They have so much material out there. Jimmy recorded albums in the US in his solo days. It is documented in his biography Working Class Man (he has a song of the same name). The previous book of his was Working Class Boy. Do yourself a favour and delve into these must read novels.
Great reaction. This whole concert was fire. Check out their song "Tomorrow" from the same Last Stand concert.
Well it's not bloody cold here ATM brother...41c today(106f). 🤣😁
Now back to the music...
Hi @sandgroperwookiee65 ... Okay, on the other side 106 f is a bit too warm for this guy. Give me 70 f any day ... keep rockin' ...
@@drivingwithtodd1781where I am today it was around 44 deg. So bloody hot. Cold chisel have heaps of great songs and Jimmy has great solo career. My favourite cold chisel song is called choir girl which is meant to be about guy taking girlfriend for abortion. All chisel songs have heaps of meaning
I also like footage of group of Australian music legends that includes cold chisel signing knocking on heavens door
Todd, you reacted to Stone Cold a few days ago, featuring Jimmy Barnes singing with Joe Bonamassa on guitar. That's Jimmy from Cold Chisel, just years older. I think he was in his late 50's here. He is still performing and recording to this day.
Great love COLD CHISEL you reacted to Jimmy Barnes when he was older doing Stone Cold with Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy also had a successful solo career after Cold Chisel that is still going today, Go down the Jimmy Barnes rabbit hole you wont be sorry :)
Thanks heaps for the amazing reaction. I agree with you this is the best cover of Wild thing and jimmy’s vocals in this was wild. He definitely has one of the greatest rock voices of all time. It’s a shame a lot of people in the States have never even heard of him although he’s been on the music scene for almost half a century now.
Hi @georgeibrahim7945 ... Thank you for the wonderful compliment. It is a shame that this group didn't break it in the USA. We here in the states missed out on one very talented group. Music is timeless, so here I am 40 years later getting into a group I had never heard of. How great is that?! Keep on rockin' ...
@@drivingwithtodd1781 you should listen to Jimmy Barnes doing a duet with the late Tina Turner “simply the best” Jimmy’s brother in law Johnny Diesel another Australian legend plays the guitar in that performance
Hi @georgeibrahim7945 ... This is the first I have heard Jimmy doing a duet with Tina. Another must reaction in the making. RnR forever ...
Hey, with the internet, more and more people are actually seeing them and appreciating them!
Glad you enjoyed this. How could you not like it?
I agree, they should be world famous. Unfortunately. when they went to the US in 1980/81 they had a terrible time.
The demo of their most recent release, "East", was of poor quality with a lot of tape hiss, When Chisel pointed this out one of the US sound engineers is said to have suggested it wasn't the tape but their playing.
Further, the US record exec.s wanted them to tone down their act. Which Chisel refused to do.. Remember, the best selling music of the late 70's/early 80's wasn't what Chisel was playing. Just look at the Billboard top-100 of those years.
So Chisel came back to Australia and where the rest of the world missed out we in Australia have been eternally grateful. This performance wasn't a one off. It was fairly typical of their live shows. Seeing them in a pub/club in an audience of about 200 was just great.
As mentioned, two other live performances well worth watching "Bow River" and When the War is Over" from their 2003 Ringside show,
Welcome to Cold Chisel!
Great reaction Todd, it brings a smile to my face when I see someone who after watching this amazing set of musicians thinks ‘WTF! Why didn’t they make it in the US? …… Buckle up mate you are in for one hell of a Fkn ride. They are the best live band I have seen and I reckon top 5 rock bands of all time. So many songs to choose from and all of them are bangers, I don’t have any that I skip on their albums. My suggestion is Goodbye (Astrid Goodbye) of course a live version.
Try Bow river next, when the War is Over, try Ian Moss singing Georgia at the same concert. They didn't break up because they were no good. There was tension, there was can we still write and perform 100% better stuff? So they got back together a few times. Jimmy put out an anniversary edition of his soul Deep album, a while ago. Did a duet with Sam Moore from your Sam and Dave, of Soothe me. Look for Jimmy's cover of Lazy, with Joe Bonnamassa. Jimmy had hip surgery last year, got back to touring and got a heart complication which needed more surgery, get well Jimmy. Ian Moss still tours, put out a single recently.
Agree with all these suggestions, especially Mossy's Georgia and When the War is Over.
Original version by the Troggs in the '60s, The last stand was Cold Chisels' break-up concert in Sydney 40 years ago December 15 1983, it took 15 years and they reformed in 1998, that's why you see a lot of Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss solos in that 15 year period, Ian is the wicked guitarist he has fantastic vocals as well , Check out Ian Moss as a solo artist not long after this Tuckers Daughter czcams.com/video/gyBscA3UBzY/video.htmlsi=dSHL7pU3GH7ww_7s , They were offered contracts with US record labels however they refused to change the way they did things to suit the US companies, Hence their song title You got nothing i want, written about the experience
The original version of Wild Thing was released in 1965 by The Wild Ones
Check out the doing a change is guna come . And bow river live at there reunion show 2003 big rabbit hole with this ozy band

Chisel are probably the best band that you never heard of and you are only at the foot of the mountain.
Good huh? 😁 Most of the time you should watch Chisel live. 'Saturday Night' is one where you need to see the music video though as it has recorded nightlife sounds in it.
Hi @MariaBM1 ... Thanks for the recommendation. Chisel is definitely dynamic on the stage. Very fun! Rock on ...
agree about needing the filmclip, great advice@@drivingwithtodd1781
"WELL IF YA DONT LIKE IT, WHAT ARE YA STANDIN' THERE FOR 20 MINUTES WATCHIN' IT FOR??"
@@ray.shoesmith , don't give away too much!! 🤣😂
Went to this concert best hard rock and blues comes from Australia 🇦🇺
you might like to check out The Teskey Brothers from Australia too
Sounds like quite a blizzard! It's the opposite over here in Tasmania right now.
@OnceWasRStrathfield ... And now we have the Arctic cold. Winter in Wisconsin is simply lovely ... 😝
@@drivingwithtodd1781 lol... Sounds like paradise! Hobart, where I'm located, is close to Antartica and you can really feel it during winter. That said, our summer has been underwhelming with a few grey days recently. It's getting better now.
Oh, and Australia has just got its first Queen. The new Queen on Denmark was born and raised in Hobart. Maybe that's why we're having such a nice day today. lol
@@OnceWasRStrathfieldTassie may be close-ish to Antarctica, but the temp never gets as low as Wisconsin’s -20°C!
In fact, the coldest part of Australia is the Snowy Mountains, and even there it rarely drops lower than -4°C, in winter, at night.
@@riiidiculoso8697 Yes, that is all true. We don't get as cold as Wisconsin. We do get the winds from Antarctica, and it does get chilly. Even our Snowy Mountains doesn't get as cold as some places in the US or Canada.
Fuck they could rock!
It's funny how you mentioned Hendrix, Mossy (Ian Moss, guitarist) was/is a big Hendrix fan. The reason why Cold Chisel didn't make it big in the US was thanks to some wanker (Marty Schwantz I think it was) from a record label that tried to get Cold Chisel to change who they were as well as screwing them over. Even so, I think they did well live when they did tour the US when they did. Jimmy wrote a song especially about the ordeal called "You Got Nothing I want."
Hi @kevkoala ... Record exec's in the USA don't know music. That is one of the reasons they over press crap and it ends on the cut out racks. Cold Chisel is just fine as they are. Rock on ...
They dont make em like that anymore.
This was the last song of the main set, before the encores. The first encore was just Ian Moss and Don Walker doing Georgia On My Mind. There is a clip of this on youtube which is a Must Watch, particularly because it was done straight after this barn storming version of Wild Thing. I know you have done Georgia already but this version is the best. czcams.com/video/NhFXjzRRv4w/video.htmlsi=HrzPj2Z88KvzItqH
