The band was formed in Adelaide in 1973 as a heavy metal act by bassist Les Kaczmarek and keyboard player Ted Broniecki, with the rest of the line-up being comprised of organist Don Walker, guitarist Ian Moss and drummer Steve Prestwich 17-year old singer Jimmy Barnes -- known throughout his time with the band as merely Jim Barnes -- joined in December after a brief spell as Bon Scott's replacement in Fraternity[1]. The group changed its name several times before settling on Cold Chisel in 1974 after writing a song with that title. Barnes' relationship with other band members was volatile; as a Scot he often came to blows with English-born Prestwich and he left the band several times. During these periods Moss would handle vocals until Barnes returned.
