“That section of the song, the ending of the song, to me is sort of like the clincher. If you didn't like the song at first, you should like it by that time.” »read more

The Angels released this shortly after changing their name from "The Moonshine Jug And String Band." The Angels originated in Adelaide, Australia. Contemporaries include Cold Chisel (also originating in Adelaide), and Rose Tattoo (Sydney). They are not to be confused with the American girl group of the same name.
The Angels often involved the audience in their shows. In this song, when lead singer "Doc" Neeson sings, "Am I ever gonna see your face again?," the (mostly male) audience would respond, "No way - get f--ked - f--k off!" The Angels released 13 albums between 1977 and 1998 and earned a reputation as one of the best live bands in Australia. (thanks, Duane - Adelaide, Australia, for above 2)
Reg Reagan (Mathew Johns) parodied the song with "Am I Ever Gonna See The Biff Again?" in relation to the lack of biff (Rugby League Fights). (thanks, Rennie - Sydney, Australia)

Ahem, it's not the "mostly male" members of the audience who sing the ever famous line "No WAY GET F--KD F--K OFF!!" Us sheilas like to have a crack at it too, it's just that the blokes are wayyy louder. Ripper song by the way...beauty bonza vegemite. heh heh

Saw 'The Angels' at the Bon Scott tribute show in 2007...amazing live after all these years. And don't forget 'The Screaming Jets'...another fine Aussie band that were at the same tribute show. The rest of the world really missed out on these two bands.

I gotta agree.Although I love the early metal 70's and the grunge years there's nothing better to cruise to in a Panelvan on a hot summers day than the Angels,Hunters&Collectors, laced with a splash of Midnight Oil and the HuduGurus. Thats a happy place for me : )

The best era of music ever.... well for me anyway,,,from the ages of 9 y.o in 1976 to 16 y.o in 1983.... those 7 years there was hit after hit around the world and especially in the land of Oz that to this day 2007, nothing comes quite close ...whether that is because i was at that age or i just simply was a brilliant era with The Angels,Cold Chisel,Rose Tattoo,Kiss,Ad/dc,Australian Crawl,Sharon O'Neill,Fleetwood mac,Jimmy Barnes,The Choirboys,Mi-Sex,The Divinyls and many more....
