a sound all to its own...this is going to sound bad to some on here but its on my bucket list to get a retro player and spin some vinyl it just sounds better than a download..

I posted a similar thread about 6-7 years ago on here (when I was pure, accepting and tolerant). It went on receive numerous replies, tapping into many people's favourite 2nd passion.
As my brain cells dwindle, abused by wotsits, crème de month and curly wurlys, I cant for the life of me remember the moody old git who suggested them. but suggest them he did. I recall he said he'd seen them live (CCR).
So I googled/YouTube'd and eventually became hooked. Their catalogue is phenomenal.
I'm forever grateful to him for "virtually" introducing me to them. Whoever he was.

damn he does throw some serious moves wonder if it was drug related back then lol..wonder if he still does that now or has had to have hip replacement surgery!

Youtube: Cold Chisel - When The War Is Over (Official Video) Pure class. If you don't know about this Australian band, no sweat. Ian Moss the singer/guitarist isn't even the lead singer. Steve Prestwich the drummer, sitting down with the 'shaker' wrote this. Steve very sadly died early 2011. The greatest drummer in my opinion and I've heard and played with a few. Check out a very young Steve Prestwich on Cold Chisel 'Forever Now' Okay, so he's playing a table in the video...

Yeah I think you'd like them, some/most of the songs are just brilliant. When The War Is Over (studio) Khe Sanh, Forever Now, Flame Trees, Choir Girl, Bow River, Ita, Four Walls Cheap Wine... It's endless. If you like guitar playing, Check out Youtube: Cold Chisel - Georgia (Official Video) Just wait for the solo, Mossy is just unbelievable and this country's airwaves never bothered with them. because they thought Australian bands were all about Men at Work Down Under, pathetic. Mossy's Strat sound not unlike the great Rory Gallagher.
