Music of the Gods

Jonno lets off some steam about people dissing his favourite band

Mate, another thing that pisses me off is these people who go ‘Oh yeah, Aussie rock, y’know I love it’ and they say all these new Aussie rock bands, who aren’t really Aussie rock at all, they’re all punk bands or tryhard rap/funky shit going on.

Everyone goes ‘AC/DC’ and that ‘they’re bloody tops’. I bet ya Brian Johnson didn’t drink two bottles of vodka and a couple of bottles of bourbon before he went on stage… Cold Chisel did. That’s what I’m talking about. Barnsey – that guy is a legend. All these people start going ‘Cold Chisel, they’re shit’, they say they love 80s pub-rock, or pub-rock in general, they’ll probably say Rose Tattoo are cool (Rose Tattoo – fair enough, they’re alright). But Cold Chisel – these guys, they should be worshipped in this country for the fact that they are as Australian as Australia gets. People are going to start going to me now that ‘Er, Jimmy Barnes, he’s a Scottish immigrant’ or whatever, fair enough, but he’s pretty Aussie isn’t he? He’s Aussie-r than most other Aussies are.

Anyway, so they go to America in the 80s and start wanting to do other sorts of stuff, and they start trying to please a certain audience… and then, they came out with a song like ‘You’ve Got Nothing I want’, and then they decided to stay in Australia, and they did us proud. Then all these people went ‘80s pub rock’s not cool anymore’ or ‘Er, it’s so out-dated’. Of course it’s out-dated, it was written in the 80s you mugs! What about the shit coming out these days, all these people making the same sound, like the White Stripes ‘coming up’ with a 60s-sound. Oh that’s cool isn’t it. Yeah. Wow. If you want to listen to the 60s then listen to the Beatles.
