RE: 📀 Mixtape Monday Song & Contest Winners - 🤘🏽No Resteem, No Follow, No Upvote Required🤘🏽
This isn't the original version (search for Cold Chisel if you want to see it), but this is a live version by two icons of Australian music
The song, When the War is Over, is one I have belted out at karaoke with an old schoolmate, and while we're both old, married and have kids, I reckon we could still get drunk enough to smash this one out again. Maybe I should give Jase a call soon....
Shit! It was inevitable that someone at some stage was going to bring Farnsy and/or Barnesy to the mixtape party.
I think I prefer the original. I'm not a huge fan of Jimmy, can vaguely get into some of the more classic Chisels tracks; Mossy was a great a guitarist and Don Walker is a bloody legend.
Jesus though I was tempted to flag this just because of those MULLETS!!! 🤣 And what the hell was Farnham thinking getting about in a bloody raincoat?!? Aaahhh.... 80's Australia! There will never be a time like that again!!
Yeah, I prefer the original Chisel version myself, but I thought those mullets were more watchable than a static album cover.
As for Barnesy, I think there's two distinct versions. 80s screeching Barnesy and then there's the more mellow late 90s onwards Barnesy which is much more listenable.
