NOW I Know...JIMMY BARNES IS THE MYSTERY MAN!__ INXS--GOOD TIMES--PRO GUITARIST REACTS • Jimmy Barnes - Good Times @jimmybarnes3100 @inxs #jimmybarnes #inxs #pubrock #reaction #cosmicmiko
Side note you might’ve noticed the comradeship between Aussie Artists when collaborating, its like that in real life, they’re all friends. Australia is huge but our population is small so the entertainment industry is tiny and they’re very tight knit. I love watching this mate ship on stage it really in genuine and brings the audience into the friendship for the experience. INXS KICK got played in our car non stop by choice growing up 😂
It would’ve had several listens without the mishap…..if not for that I probably wouldn’t have started a conversation with the lads and there would be no fun story!! :) It was a little surreal standing in the doorway of their dressing room chatting and making them laugh….almost out of body….they were heroes!!
So true. I saw Jimmy Barnes on one of his "Red Hot Summer" tours a few years back. The line up had Jon Stevens, The Black Sorrows and Mahalia and her band. When Jon Stevens was playing his solo part, I made my way down to the edge of the stage, and I could see Jimmy standing behind stage watching Jon perform. He was rocking out and singing to the music, and was really enjoying being part of the audience and the experience. Knowing that they all enjoy each other's performances like this is a good feeling to me :)
It’s an Easybeats cover that was on The Lost Boys soundtrack. Every single time I watched that movie I was so proud to hear Jimmy and INXS. My first ever concert at 12 was INXS, one of my favorite memories from my childhood, my 4 older siblings took me. Great song!!!!!! Thanks for another great reaction mate
It's an Easybeats cover written by band members Harry Vanda and George Young who wrote and produced AC/DC. George was brother of Angus and Malcom. The Easybeats were the first great Australian band. INXS toured as Cold Chisels support band.
There was a live performance of this at the 'Australian Made' concert tour, which featured a bunch of other top shelf locals on backing vocals that was well worth a look. There was an prevailing sentiment at the time that australian acts couldn't sell out big venues locally, and this was the proof otherwise.
my sad link to Michael was, i was walking down a street in Sydney and noticed something going on at a church so i stopped to see what was happening, just as i walked up to the barrier a cop came over and told us to piss off, and just as he had said that a bishop came out and reprimanded him and invites us (maybe 6 or 7 of us) when we got inside the church i noticed Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue, Nick cave, INXS etc.. what i had stumbled upon was Michaels funeral, i was up at the back of the church up a flight of stairs and quiet close to that idiot pest who used to invade tennis matches, horse tracks and footy games when he started screaming Michaels name and fake attempting to jump over the balcony onto the crown below . sad day for me
@@divinemadness7119 huh. you are correct. I had it in my head that he was 27. Unsure why you felt I was being rude. I have sympathy for anyone who commits suicide. Which is unproven (I think?) but...
I remember in the early 80s I saw INXS at my local pub, playing mostly covers. No one could pronounce their name. lol. There was only a tiny crowd as no one had heard of them. 12 maybe. I knew I was witnessing something special and was the only drunk fool on the dance floor. A couple of months later they released Shaboo Shabah. The next time they played at the same venue the crowd stretched around the block and the pub was packed and had to close the doors. Lucky I managed to get in.
Just Keep Walking, barely made top 40 in Australia in late 1980 on their second album. Just because they made albums doesn't mean shit. You must have been a diehard groupie as well as an arsehole. Original Sin was the song that kicked off their career and people knew their name. Until then they were a small playing pub band.@@paulthesurfer7470
Yo! Yep Lost Boys soundtrack!! Depends where you source the video from, many say INXS with Jimmy Barnes, but doesn't matter its just a rocking song..party song of the 80s. Enjoyed seeing you slowly realising that you knew the song! Awesome you got to support INXS, amazing. I've been lucky enough to see them live many times, 4 with MH and once with JD. Brilliant band live. The best was a small venue in 1993 where they mentioned on the radio turn up tonight to see them play unreleased new material... So intimate. Lol great story, worse albums to be stuckin your player!
INXS just celebrated their 46th anniversary as a band! I have always had a mad crush on Jon Farriss! Saw INXS open for The Go-Go's in Charlotte, NC. You just scored a new subscriber! You saying you are a fan of INXS was all I needed to hear! BTW, I would love to be stuck with 'KICK' stuck in the deck...LOL!
Yo! Not only a Ren fan but also INXS! Excellent. I have the 7" single. Song from The Lost Boys Film. I was lucky enough to see inxs at Wembley in 91. Excellent concert!
Wow I’m sure that would’ve been an inspired performance!! I think settings like wembley and Madison square gardens in NY get bands excited to perform at their best. ❤️
Jimmy released this on his Barnestorming live album of Nov 1988, all recorded from December 1987 to Feb 1988. This particular pairing was recorded 1986 and released December 1986 and was included in the Lost Boys movie soundtrack as others have said. In Australia they are probably equally played his solo live version and this pairing. Have not heard the Easybeats original in years, whereas the other two are still on regular radio rotation in Australia.
I’ve been noticing assorted reaction vids to Jimmy Barnes since I started watching Ren stuff. I kept thinking, “isn’t he the guy that performed with INXS?” So glad I was right. 😂💜
🪀😂 I loved your INXS story Michael. Who doesn’t remember issues with cassette tapes and players?😂 My first car had a tape player…. So you know their Kick Album well. Can I ask if you also have heard their previous album, Listen like Thieves or Shabooh Shoobah? I’ve loved INXS since I was 15 or so….even have a photo of me in an INXS shirt. It was even before I discovered Jimmy. Michael can sing (not to mention anything about how charismatic and gorgeous he was RIP) and the Farris brothers and Kirk are so brilliant too. Just to let you know that this song is a cover from a well known and respected Australian band called the Easybeats, fronted by Stevie Wright RIP. They released it back in 1968. It was written by George Young and Harry Vanda (George is the brother of Angus Young, guitarist of AC/DC). They put on an Australian Made concert and produced this song to sing at the end. Both INXS and Jimmy performed at the concert along with other bands Mental as Anything, I’m Talking (lead singer Kate Ceberano), Divinyls and a few others. Just so happens the song was also in the movie The Lost Boys. Totally off point but have you heard of a girl by the name of Wendy Matthews? She was born in Canada and met Glenn Shorrock, lead singer of Little River Band in LA and came back to perform in Australia and stayed (we have that effect on some who come to this great land).
I didn’t own any other LPs but knew their singles cause I watched music video channel Much Music non stop!! I haven’t heard of her but I know you stole the Tea Party from us!! ;). ✌️
@@michaelgoyettemusicThank you for taking the time to reply. You are probably right about taking people from all corners of the world, and some of the best Australian musicians have come from a lot of different cultures. A lot of that had to do with the immigration programme called the 10 pound pom system after WW2. In saying that it wasn't just the English who arrived, but a lot of European nations. A lot were just children so they wouldn't have had a lot of choice in the matter. A lot have stayed. I know the Immigration areas they originally stayed in were not great but in general Aussies do have a great lifestyle. A big factor about the Australian sound would have been due to one person by the name of Tom Albert. He had his own music publishing company called Alberts, and founded the Easybeats from the 60s, and later other musicians including John Paul Young and bands including ACDC and Rose Tattoo. After the Easybeats finished two of their band members Harry Vanda and George Young were asked to write songs by Tom and this is when they finally started to make a profit from their work. What music channels did you get? Was it MTV or did you have others? Australia had plenty of different music shows. I might show my age, but I grew up on a show called Young Talent Time, abbreviated to YTT, in the 70's which was a show where young kids sing, but a little like the Mickey Mouse Club vibe. Then in the 80s I watched Molly Meldrum's show called Countdown, and then "Rage" whuch played music to the next morning.The last 2 shows were on the ABC which is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (a Government funded channel in essence). I am not sure which channel did YTT..... Then before my time they had GTK or Getting to Know.....we also had talent shows before the now popular ones (The Voice and Idol etc) called Hoadley's Battle of the Bands. Ps I just realised your show was called Much Music 🎶 haha
@@kazz3956 I watched a video all about Australia the other day that was talking about the immigration at different points and how the population is dispersed based on what areas get water and which don’t. I didn’t know Canada had more ppl! ✌️
Ha. Love a good story, Man! Love INXS, too. Saw them in maybe 1990. X tour. I was 14. Amazing show! Def miss Michael’s voice. So smooth. So stylish. So sophisticated. Was def a whole different era. Wonder what he’d be like nowadays, had he lived? Bono, Robert Smith, Dave Gahan, Morrissey, all still have their voices. Bernard Sumner can’t sing anymore, but most of Michael’s contemporaries aged well. I’ll bet he would still sound amazing.
Great story. I drove around Tasmania for a month on holiday with Crowded House Temple of Low Men cassette on repeat. No complaints this end. No, I didn't get to meet the band and tell them about it... nor could I cover the guitar riffs for them.
Hey I count myself lucky…..I think the other tape was Whitesnake or something….which I like but definitely not on repeat. ✌️ Crowded house is a decent one too! ❤️
Yo Mike I agree Inxs awesome group 18 months same tape I would have had it apart sooner 😂 Thus was a great tune also the piano awesome touch had a 70’s basement feel guys all getting together for a jam. Enjoyed have a great weekend 🫶
Yo! G'day mate! Loved your INXS story ❤ My story is , in 1986 I went to my first concert. It happened to be The Australian Made Concert. Mostly Australian bands and some New Zealand bands. Headlining the tour was Jimmy Barnes and INXS and to top it off they would finish the night with this song 'Good Times' ❤ 15:46
Written by brothers George Young and Harry Vanda and released as a single by The Easybeats in 1968. George is the older brother of Angus and Malcom Young from ACDC. original version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8yMswt56fvQ.html
It's almost a religion to me to go online while having a few beers and checking out how awesome people reacting to this song think it is. I'm never disappointed, and the upside is I get a few beers and a party atmosphere.
Easybeats. Fun fact: one of the group members was the older Young sibling. Young from the family of AC/DC :) Jimmy pull this song out from time to time and sings it with INXS or Keith Urban, or...
That’s so insane that you had heard Jimmy as a kid and hadn’t realised till now! Now you have a lot of catching up to do 😂 Not sure if you’ve heard You’ll Never Walk Alone- Jimmy and his son David Campbell. It’s very special!!
Two Aussie legends doina a great cover . Lots of material for you to watch if you liked that . Anything from INXS at the Wembley concert was outstanding , particularly Suicide blond. For Jimmy Barns check out Cold Chisel , the band he fronted , I love Bow river , the 2003 live performance . He also did a few co labs with John Farnham , When something is wrong with my baby .
Fun fact: Kieffer Sutherland kept turning down the role in The Lost Boys until he heard that Jimmy & INXS were gunna be on the soundtrack. Apparently he'd been in a Australia a few months before & he became huge big fans of both Jimmy & INXS as they had songs out on the charts in Australia at the time & were constantly on the radio. Once he heard they were both were involved he took the role straight away. I actually thought The Lost Boys was an Aussie movie until a few years ago because Jimmy & INXS were on the soundtrack & I've never seen the movie but as a kid i didn't think Jimmy & INXS would be used on an American movie
Yea mate , we’d compare classic Oz songs like this back in the 80’s to the American Hair spray bands that were huge around the world at the time , and roll our eyes because really there was no comparison. Cek out Jimmy & Cold Chisel singing Wild Thing & Knocking,on Heavens door.
YO ho ho, & a bottle of rum! Which reminds me, I’ve never seen a reactor do ‘And The Band Played On (Down Among The Dead Men)’ by Flash and the Pan. Yo could be a pioneer
I first saw INXS in January 1980 at a club in my hometown. Didn't go to see them specifically as they were the support band and I hadn't heard of them Thought they were pretty good and had a bit of a future. They had just got a recording deal and either had just released or about to release their first single. They weren't as good as the main band that night who were Cold Chisel. Saw INXS as the main band a few weeks later at my local University as they headlined the orientation week ball. The weeks they spent supporting Cold Chisel that summer had seen them build up a pretty good following of their own by then.
Its neither Jimmy or INXS, its both. Both artists probably played this song on its own but it was originally recorded as this duet, for a bunch of live concerts called Made in Australia.
yo. one of my favourite tracks. Ya think Ren could do this, with the rest of The Big Push? Would bring the house down. Imagine him on the piano. Or guitar, or drums...
