I love how u gave our Aussie music scene a go & have honestly become a huge fan of our musical talent. We are extremely lucky & the majority never made it internationally but our music is truly & uniquely Strayan, that's why they never made it, the rest of the world just didn't understand us & still don't but we are so lucky to be brought up on our music.
So true. Most other places in the world you have to fit into a particular category- either your pop or country or R&B and if you don't pick a lane they don't know what to do. Our Aussie artists just are. They're a unique blend of so many influences and we're all just ok with it and embrace it for what they're giving us
@@ThatSingerReactions Back 30/40/50yr ago Straya was still a country that was little known to the world. We were even looked at as being backward bush wackers that still had no electricity & we lived in grass huts or tin sheds, i dunno mate, but we weren't taken seriously, we weren't known to be a country of music & we are known to be a sporting country, which is still true today. Mate, the 70's & 80's were huge decades of Aussie music & a reason maybe our artists weren't taking seriously was because the Aussie bands were hugely patriotic & sang alot about our country & way of life. Great Southern Land by Icehouse is for me is the quit essential song about our country & i mean we are also known as the Great Southern Land & when the song starts it actually gives me goosebumps. Another Aussie group that u might be interested in looking at are The Black Sorrows, i think their music, songs & the Bull sisters vocals are brilliant & I'm sure once u heard the sisters sing u would be amazed. So much respect for u mate, Ta so much for giving our little big country ago.
@@kimr7139 Yeah nah mate ur spot on. It's who we are musically as a nation. I mean i know Acca Dacca are our most successful band internationally but that doesn't mean that they are Straya's #1 band nationally, i think Cold Chisel knock Acca Dacca of the top of the pops, i love Acca Dacca but i love Chisel more. About 20yrs ago i was lucky enough to go to the Horden in Sydney to see Chisel in a reunion tour & i was in my early 20's at the time & i spent the night crying lol. I was just overcome with emotion that i was there watching Jimmy, Ian & the boys. It was a surreal moment that I'll never forget
it's no wonder australian music fans and artists are showing you this much love as you are highlighting and appreciating australian music talent that has been underappreciated by so many outside of australia for so long.
That's mind boggling how this talent is not world wide and even in places that don't even exist 😂 how does anyone give this a thumbs down ? Easy to figure out... someone doesn't appreciate true artist and there music out there everywhere that's not my cup of tea but I'll watch it just to see and appreciate the talent and wonder in my mind what this or that song would sound like with that artist doing it .
It's been OUR secret for decades 😂 thank the greedy US music corporates for that and the unbending hearts of our musicians especially in the 70/80s😅 Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie...fark you Kent's 👍🖕
Can you believe there’s thousands of Aussies who would go to see a John Farnham Friday night concert, catch AC/DC Saturday night, then crowd into some beach pub and rock to Jimmy Barnes. Then find stars like Diesel, Angry Anderson, SplitENZ EVERY WEEKEND! .You are living our weekends. You are so cool. All you need now is an ACCA/DACCA tshirt.x
Bro... That's a quiet weekend... What about Cold Chisle, Inxs, Midnight oil, silver chair, and many more... Popularity is about $$$$, unfortunate for many Australian artists.
The song is a soul classic written by Otis Redding & Jerry Butler back in 1965. It's been recorded by many artists including Etta James, Ike & Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones & Seal. Diesel is so underrated. So happy you found him & are appreciating his musical genius.
I just want to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to our AMAZING Australian artists. I really enjoy watch all ur reactions but LOVE these reactions to most. Keep up the awesome work. I look forward to more. P.S - so great to hear that these artists are making contact with you. Just shows how down to earth and appreciative they are. Take care
@@ThatSingerReactions, sorry, I not on patreon, or any other platform, but I think you should check out JAMES REYNE singing "Reckless". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5uKfQkpNXA0.html
Diesel really is amazing, and is underrated even here in Australia, where he's had commercial success. You're right - he does have an Al Green vibe. I really appreciate your take on our Aussie artists 😊 P.S. the tiny section of a new clip at the end featured a band called Swanee, led by Jimmy Barnes' brother John Swan. He has a terrific voice too!
John Swan is fantastic he was phenomenal when he headed up the aus supergroup party boys their song he's going to step on you again. Just love aus pub rock
Gday from Melbourne. The world's most lockdown city. You've gotten me through working, homeschooling, and just trying to keep my crap together. Thanks mate. You're a good bloke.
I worked as a stage sound tech for Aussie circuit bands when I was young... All of these guys honed their craft working at small pubs ( bars) and big concert halls. They could always sound like the record that you'd just baught!
One of my favourite artists of all time, grew up listening 🎶 to Diesel and is so criminally underrated in 🇦🇺 Australia, he should be in the top lists of the best recording Artists here and yet is often not mentioned, which I can never understand
Just wanted you to know that I listened to the podcast interview, and I’ve recently subscribed. It was definitely the Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham video that got me in, but you’ve given me such a renewed appreciation for these artists I already loved…you have given me so many reasons to smile and feel joy when I tune in that it’s helped me feel better at end of a stressful day. Thankyou!
Yeah man. I totally relate. I'm feeling it today. Watching his channel today, mainly Australian performance reactions, have made my day. I am so happy right now🥰
This video makes me scared that you haven’t heard Otis Redding before! “Try a Little Tenderness”, “Sutton’ on the Dock of the Bay”, and “These Arms of Mine” are just some of the bigger known songs he performs. You’ll love him!
hahahha LOVE watching your face when you discover our talent. Diesel is such a HUGE star on his own here. we aren't very religious down here, these guys are our healing music. Australia can be a tough landscape to be in (naturewise) and they heal our souls! xx
Yeah I just discovered this guy a few days ago and I love watching his reactions to all of them. Even told him in a few that HE is the entertainment value for me. He makes me smile and sometimes crack up laughing with his reactions!
Love your speechless moments! This is Deisels song that displays all his soul magic. Seen him live more than 10 times and they were all flawless. His voice, guitar skills are superhuman. We were so blessed to have him and he’s a very authentic human being too.
That was our wedding song for our bridal waltz. 24 years on I’d love to have Diesel play this live for us one day. Hubby & I are still massive lovers of his music. Followed him to a few pubs back in our younger days. The man performs magic on stage.
I first saw Diesel live in a pub gig back when he was 16 and they had to smuggle him in before the gig an out again after due to him being so young! He blew me away back then and still just keeps on getting better and better with age like a good wine!💕
Yes you have been hiding under a rock lol. About 25 years ago diesel made a blues album with chris Wilson. Here is a snippet (and if you like blues, chris Wilson live at the continental is one of my all time fave aus blues albums) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SePNXkx2wWA.html
Lots of love to you from Australia to our "adopted" son of music.... welcome to the fold :))) PS: someday and with (Barnes family blessing I'm sure) you could start dipping your toes into the phenomenal talent of our indigenous Artists.
I remember seeing Johnny Diesel and the Injectors open for Jimmy Barnes back in 87 for the Freight Train Heart concerts Barnesey was doing at the time. He impressed the hell out of the 15 year old me back then. Still a favourite of mine. Good stuff glad you liked it. Also, I appreciate you showcasing so much Aussie talent. Subscribed!
He has so much soul. Diesel was part of a real soulful rock sound in Australia in the 80’s and 90’s. The Baby Animals were also a great band with a fantastic lead singer,
It was great to listen to your interview with Trevor on the EFTM Podcast. Thank you for all your hard work Nick. You inspire alot of people with your passion for great singers.
Me too. I had posters all over the bedroom wall. He was my adolescent crush too. Like you, I’ve seen him several times live & he never disappoints. A spunk who happens to be extremely talented. 😝😝
I had such a huge teen crush on Diesel! I wagged school as a 13 year old and went into the city to meet him at an instore record store signing. He signed my school diary and I looked at it every day! He is such a phenomenal talent, thank you for reacting to this underrated Aussie legend!
I was lucky enough to see Diesel at a little dinner show in a club in Ettalong many many years ago, just him and an acoustic guitar sitting in the corner singing & playing. ❤
Yep, there's some brilliant music and musicians down here in Australia....I feel blessed to have grown up in the era when I saw AC/DC play on a Saturday night at the "dance" held at my high school hall (Frankston High School..."The Big Fish) and many other great bands there and at the local pubs. John Farnham live at "The Vines" or "Sovereign".....such a great time for music
Thank you brother for your vids, Johnny is one of the best make vocalists and blues singers in the history of this country, and can that boy play the guitar
That was awesome. I'm tuning in to you every night to catch your latest reactions. Loving them. Diesel is such a great singer and musician, but sometimes he seems to be happy just taking a back seat and playing guitar when Jimmy sings with other artists like Farnsy or Tina. There's so much talent here and you can see the respect and friendship these Aussie artists have for each other. They just enjoy making great music together. No big egos.
Totally agree - Australian music is awesome and totally under appreciated by the rest of the world due to our isolation. Have loved Diesel ever since I first heard him. Love the fact this guy loves him too
Otis Redding released the original in 1965. This soul ballad was written by Otis Redding and Jerry Butler. Notable covers include performances by the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Ike and Tina Turner, and a country version by Barbara Mandrell. Diesel's cover was in 1993.
Cool!! Oh and the intro snippet of the next song that popped up at the end, by the band Swanee - that's John Swan - Jimmy Barnes's older brother. Excellent voice too!! You should check out a couple of songs he did with The Party Boys - He's Gonna Step On You Again and Hold Your Head Up - they're brilliant!!
Best live show ever? Hands down Diesel! (Been to many awesome, world famous performers' concerts in Oz and overseas, Diesel is the standout). He's got some brilliant concert DVDs available and I highly recommend having the experience for those who can't get to a live performance.
Otis Redding was the absolute best when it came to soulful ballads. He died in a plane crash in 1968 at the age of 28. He was incredible No one better.
Thanks for showing everyone how great Aussie music really is & letting us see how much you enjoy it. I’m going through all your stuff now I’m subscribed. Thank you so much.
I saw this man live last night dude I have heard couple of his songs the radio and I was surprised he’s got a broad range of music he can sing I am newly minted fan
Lol... Awesome to see you hear Diesel's Soulful voice heaps of those types of tunes out there . He the Man . Need to introduce you to Jon Stevens as well !
I love how much your loving our Aussie talent , we have some of the best musicians in the world. I got Diesels first album at age 10 , i had John Farnhams stuff at age 9 and Jimmy Barnes has been apart of my music collection since the early 80s. Oddly enough I grew up to be a massive Metal head but i have been going back and loving the Aussie Music i grew up on. Lucky to see all these guys live dozens of times. Its a damn shame these guys are not World famous and talked about in the same way R&B legends/ Rock Legends are.
Thank you for taking the time to share our home grown talent of singers to a much wider audience. Your reaction & critique is priceless, and dare I say watching how passionate you get towards the negative comments made about our singers is gold. The genuine admiration you have shown everytime has been well received with respect from our end. It's also great to hear many more Aussies are tuning in & subscribing your channel. But your contacts bro? Even I don't have regular chats, zoom etc with the Barnes family, Diesel (your man) not to mention one of our morning shows! That's awesome news. We are all excited for you. Keep them reactions coming & an update in regards to your interview so we can tune in too. And most of all, it's a relief to see your equipment is still intact. So many close calls reacting to the Aussie singers lol.
As an Aussie thats lived in the UK for 15 years one thing that is similar between the UK and Australia which I don't think happens in the US is a lot of bands come up through the pub scene and here in the UK we have Radio 1 which has an introducing new talent section same as Triple J at home does which obviously is how Silverchair were discovered. Also from my experience the music festival scene here in the UK is similar to home but obviously on a much larger scale. When I was here in 1999 I saw Super Jesus at a club for £5 and as you walked in the photos of past acts were amazing like Counting Crows etc. I also got to see Powderfinger here in London and listening to thousands of people sing My Happiness was the best. I've always felt its unfortunate that the US doesn't know more about our music
My favourite Diesel song, even though it's a cover. Thank you for playing it for the Patreon requester. I think the studio version on the album, The Lobbyist, is a better version though.
I absolutely love you at 8:16 when you say “See!” and the look on your face when you cross your arms… you look just like my little nephew when he gets cranky when I’m teasing him hehehehehe
I love Diesel!! I remember I was in high school and I read a review of his concert that said something like: "he ignores the audience and makes love to his guitar and microphone on stage".
