His father was aprizefighter.His maternal grandmother was Jewish,[3]but he was raisedProtestant.He called his childhood environment a "slum" of alcohol and violence, saying that his mother had him and his four siblings (John, Dorothy, Linda and Alan)[4]before she was 21.[5]His older brother John became a successful musician as founder and lead singer of the rock bandSwanee.John encouraged and taught Barnes how to sing, as he was not initially interested.

Cold Chisel
edit1973–1983
editBarnes took up an apprenticeship in afoundrywith theSouth Australian Railwaysin 1973, but the love he and his brother had for music led him to join a band. In 1974, his brother Swanee[9]was playing drums withFraternity,[10]which had just parted ways with the singerBon Scott.[11]Barnes took over the role but his tenure with the band was brief and, in December 1975, he joined a harder-edged band called Orange, with the organist and songwriterDon Walker,guitaristIan Moss,drummerSteve Prestwichand bass guitarist Les Kaczmarek.[12]
In 1974, Orange had changed its name to Cold Chisel and began to develop a strong presence on the local music scene. Barnes's relationship with the band was often volatile and he left several times, leaving Moss to handle vocal duties until he returned. After a temporary move toArmidale, New South Waleswhile Walker completed his engineering studies there, Cold Chisel moved toMelbournein August 1976, and then three months later shifted base to Sydney. Progress was slow and Barnes announced he was leaving once again in May 1977 to join Swanee in a band called Feather. However, his farewell performance with Cold Chisel went so well that he changed his mind and decided to stay in the band. A month later,WEAsigned the band.
Between 1978 and 1984, Cold Chisel released five studio albums and won numerousTV Week/CountdownAwards.[13]The band broke up in December 1983, its final performances at theSydney Entertainment Centrerunning from 12 to 15 December 1983.
