World’s greatest rock ‘n roll band: “We’re flying everywhere and emitting as much as we possibly can”

After reading this story, we think you may agree with us that Cold Chisel may be the world’s greatest band ever.

Cold Chisel is an Aussie band that had a long list of hits in the ‘70s and ‘80s in Australia and New Zealand. They’re still rocking today and about to begin a new tour.

The Rolling Stones are often called “the world’s greatest rock ‘n roll band.” But after reading this story, we think you may agree with us that Cold Chisel may merit the moniker even more.

The Daily Telegraph Australia has the details:

These days the bad boys of rock ‘n’ roll poke society in the eye through the politically incorrect practice of emitting carbon, or at least that’s what Cold Chisel songwriter Don Walker seemed to be saying as the band announced a reunion tour of Australia and New Zealand yesterday. Walker, generally a quiet man who was a rocket scientist before music claimed him, said he wanted to make it clear the tour would be “carbon positive”.

“We’re flying everywhere and we’ll be emitting as much as we possibly can,” he said to much applause.

And in the words of the Steve Miller Blues Band, “Fly like an eagle.” A big, honkin’ carbon dioxide spewing eagle, that is.

Odds are most people have never heard Cold Chisel, so here’s a sample of their work. Enjoy the newly anointed World’s Greatest Rock ‘n Roll Band.
