1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Well this was alright, this was it never hadn't already

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: come around. I was always going to ever listened to this.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: An envelope contains the music topic to discuss.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: This five minutes on the clock to field and there's

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 3: no time to prep This is banter with Clezy and Lisa.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 3: I am now picking on an envelow. I'm going for

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: the one right on the top. Rip the band aid off,

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: as we say, and our artist is.

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Oh cold, chisel, Chisel. I can't believe this hasn't already

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: come up.

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 3: No, out of the whole list, we've done forty fifty

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: of them. Old well, they merged in Adelaide back in

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: the mid seventies. I sort of got together these boys. Yes,

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: a huge Adelaide, huge South.

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: Australian being originally from Adelaide.

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: Originally from Scotland, of course, but yeah, in the rough

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: suburb of Elizabeth.

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Yes, I remember now from the book.

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, God, some of the stuff in that book incredible.

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: It was rough, yeah, yeah. And what a bunch of

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: guys to get together. You had Mossy with no shoes

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: on coming from Alice Springs yep. And Don Walker, who

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 3: was the sort of the gifted songwriter and the you know,

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: the super intelligent man who had to put words together,

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: and then rough old Jimmy from Scotland and Phil Small

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: on base and Steve Prestwich, the Englishman on drums.

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: It certainly wasn't eclectic mix, and I guess that accounts

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: for the success.

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: Certainly helps and the longevity.

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 3: And so many songwriters in the band too.

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: Well. Ian Moss doesn't write a bad song, does he?

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: But Don Walker?

33
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: Don Walker probably writes the best songs of all of them. Yeah, yeah, well,

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: just such a talent. And then Steve Prestwich the drummer,

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: came up with a couple of the classics, including for

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: Every Hour. You know, he was an undert underrated writer

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: at the time. We've lost him since. But colch that

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: those early days in the Adelaide scene, playing those pubs,

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: that was what really got them that because it was

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: a time of Royal stadium rock sorry pub rock disclosure.

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Growing up, I couldn't stand Cold Chisel. I didn't I

42
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 1: wasn't a fan. I didn't listen. I didn't like Jimmy

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: Barnes right. I was on a totally different musical kind

44
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: of spectrum to that. And I thought that his voice

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: was horrible. I didn't get it.

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Just wasn't my scene.

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: But as I've got older, funnily enough, I've really come

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: around to Cold Chisel, and I've definitely come around to

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Barnes. I really like him now, probably not still

50
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: as a singer.

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: I think he's awesome.

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: It's funny when you listen to albums not my style

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: as go back, because you know, the first album I've

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: got a lot of attention was a subtitled album with

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: Casan on it, and then you had Breakfast at Sweethearts.

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 3: And if you listen to Jimmy singing back then, he

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: had a very different voice. I mean he could still

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: do the screamo.

59
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: He literally has something wrong with his throat. When I

60
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: say wrong with it allows him to sing that way.

61
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: If the rest of us tried to sing from that

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: guttural point somewhere at the back of his throat, we

63
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: would lose our voice very quickly, and we would do

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: damage to our nodules. You're always hearing about no, but

65
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy has some kind of trick throat that has allowed

66
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: him to sing a freak throat. He has a freak

67
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: throat that's his other name, freak Throat Throat Freak Throat.

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: Well, that'll be the name of his next book.

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: Don't we all want a freak throat?

70
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: Anyway, Chissel went to America at one stage, and it

71
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: never really worked because surprise knock around Assie Blokes, right,

72
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: and if you go to America you have to be

73
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: like Little Riverband or Credit House and work every single

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: town city radio station. The rest of it didn't quite

75
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: do that. And I remember one stage Barnsy went we

76
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: left America without you know, it was annoying because some

77
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: guy who was an influential radio guy or record guy

78
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: or company guy had a party that was more important

79
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: than seeing our band play live in Los Angeles because

80
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: it had a DJ's dog birthday party was on and

81
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: all these.

82
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: Influence Did you say a DJ's dog.

83
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: And I said, your joking true, that it's something ridiculous

84
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: that they went to. That was the line that he used,

85
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: and that they were they scared the hell out of

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: a lot of American record company people because they were

87
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: cold chies on and they just came in. You know.

88
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: I mentioned Jimmy walking into the room and being loud,

89
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: and you know.

90
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: But I was always surprised.

91
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to make it in America for an Australian,

92
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: especially that as we know. I was always surprised. I thought,

93
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: if someone's going to do it, Colches will do it.

94
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna love They're gonna love this band.

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: Would They're gonna love this you know, rock and roll.

96
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: They'll play around all the college shows and everything, and

97
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: there's going to be a huge audience.

98
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: So I was surprised.

99
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Never really never really broke through well.

100
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: I had Glen Wheatley behind them, Chase. We had good

101
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: management as well, but LB were a bit smoother and

102
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 3: a bit more like an American band. They were. They

103
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: were a bit more radio friendly.

104
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: I guess, I suppose, and I suppose at that time,

105
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, I expected Colchis to do well.

106
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: Don Walker he wrote flame Trees, didn't he? That was

107
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: a Jimmy one, Jimmy Jimmy Lays client.

108
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: But Dom Walker wrote it about the street that he

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: would drive down going home, you know, for Christmas where

110
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: he grew up, and there would be the flame trees.

111
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: The sentimental bullshit. Anyway, that's a lyric.

112
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely there was.

113
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: When I was growing up, we used to used to

114
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: live in Les Moodie and we would drive down we

115
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: Washpool Road to go visit relatives on Christmas Day and

116
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: both sides of Washpool Road would be filled with these orange,

117
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: sort of blossomy trees. And we used to call them

118
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: Christmas trees because they only came out at Christmas time.

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: Are they the same as flame tree? Well, it sounds

120
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: like I've always wondered.

121
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: I'll be calling that. Oh, we didn't even get to

122
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 3: the last stand. To her, how's that vansid time is over?

123
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: Hank you chisel, Bloody six afm Clezi and Lisa
