The Angels - Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again - Reaction with Angie & Rollen 

What a disrespectful pair. No talent hacks

The words were never written as part of the original song. However Australian fans added those words to the song themselves (not at this concert, but well before) and they basically became unofficial words to the song. They’re added by the crowd at every live performance of the song. He’s wearing the shirt because of that.

Lead singer Doc (RIP) said the audience participation from the Aussie troops in the middle east surprised the yanks at the gig. Troops from all nations could attend the concerts

Not to many Aussies wouldn't know the chorus to this song. We sing it with much gusto

This crowd interaction epitomises 'Australian larrikinism.'

You can't go anywhere here in Australia & hear this song without hearing the crowds made up verse of " no way get fkd fk off", I'm in my 50s now & still sing it too lol

It was always fun screaming out the chorus at their live shows.

There is not a single Aussie who doesn't know this song. All time Classic. I'm wondering what Angels song will be next? So many to choose from. May I suggest "Shadow Boxer", "Marseilles" and "No secrets". Cheers! Loved it!

I was watching my granddaughter playing basketball 2 nights ago and this was playing at the break, not the crowd reaction but someone did put the 2 finger salute on the screen. Took me back to early 80s. Bloody awesome. R.i.P. Doc Neeson.

Yes this became the catch cry for this song, and The Angels loved it as did the Aussie crowds, they are a legendary band here and they gave us some great music. We are so glad you are loving our music and great artists. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶

Very risky writing a song that has a repeating question... And no answer.🤔 The Aussie crowd will answer it for you. 🇦🇺

I’ve read this was actually written as a sad song, but our Aussie audiences came up with the chant lNo way get F***ed F*** off”. This song use to play every night that I went to the nightclubs…along with Smokie’s Living next door to Alice with “Alice, Alice, who the F**** is Alice”….. Maybe a non Aussie wouldn’t understand. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

The Angels had so many good songs. They should of been bigger overseas. So many great Aussie bands never got the exposure they deserved. I think we were just too far away back then. The world wasn't as connected like now and the big shots in America and Europe probably just brushed the Aussies off as pesky flys

My 15 year old granddaughter was at her boyfriend's uncle's wedding last week. Quite late during the reception the DJ played this. Her boyfriend's relatives were surprised and impressed when she knew the NWGFFO bit and joined in along with the adults. She later sent me a message to tell me all about it because I was the one who introduced her to it 😄. Another fun song along similar lines is Sykhooks' 'Why Don't You All Get Fucked'. In the 70's they would play it as the last song. Often the police were on hand ready to arrest them if they used the F word on stage but they didn't need to because the audience would sing it for them. The band would sing ' why don't you all ...' and the audience would sing 'get fucked'. (I may have also introduced my grandkids to this little gem of Aussie rock culture as well 🤘). As far as I know there is only one clip on RU-vid of them performing it live, it's at the Opera House. You need to search for Skyhooks Why Dontcha. FYI it is the norm for teenagers to swear when they think their parents aren't around and has been since I was a kid, in fact it was teenagers at a Blue Light Disco (a dance for underage kids organised by local police) who came up with the NWGFFO response.

As kids we used to get a 'Free Pass' from the parents whenever this song came on the jukebox 🤣🤘🇦🇺

When I was a 17-18 year old and going to night clubs with my friends back in 1983-84 in Brisbane Australia this song would come on and the place would be jumping. And yes, everyone in the club would answer with, "no way, get fucked, fuck off!!" Oh boy I have great memories of this - and it did not matter to us Aussies where we were or what we were doing when we heard this song, the response was always the same.

There is a reason why a live performance of this song was suggested. And The Angels were Effing huge in the eighties, in Australia. Their portfolio of songs rocked Oz and led the Country ahead of all the Aussie bands that went overseas. Special !

"RIP Doc" The F-Word Chant In 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' Isn't Actually Part Of The Song ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’ was first released in 1976 but the Angels say they didn’t first hear the “no way, get fucked, fuck off” audience chant until a Queensland gig in 1983 Australian crowds respond to the chorus of “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?” with the iconic chant “No way, get fucked, fuck off!” Peace out

The reply just started one night at some obscure venue and the band thought it funny. “Funny” turned into a virus. Then it went international.

I've seen The Angels more times than I can count. They were a mainstay of the club scene in the 80's and 90's. Have never heard this song without the crowd added lyrics.

I still remember meeting the band including Doc Neeson one night in Queensland after their concert. Had a drink with them. Such an awesome experience

I'm glad you both got a kick out of this one. They have so very many more worth checking out including - Shadow Boxer, Marseilles, After the Rain and they just keep on going. There's a lot more Oz pub rockers right up your alley - Rose Tattoo is another with songs like Bad boy for love, Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw, We Can't be Beaten that should scratch an itch.

It became a real thing with Aussie audiences to yell that out whenever and wherever this song came on. It was a big surprise to some cover bands who played this song for the first time, and thought everyone hated them.

I have no idea how it started but I was a young teenager when this was new and growing up in western Sydney and we were singing NO Way Get F.... F... Off whenever the song was played on radio from day 1 of the song release. haha.

I was there. Line up was Johnny Diesel and the Injectors, Angles, and last up was Jimmy Barnes. Fun.

Regulars in Perth for New Years Eve shows, these guys were awesome to see and also great guys to have a party with.

Story of the crowd chant. The band was doing a gig at a hotel. And played this song. The audience started started the chant. The band members were looking at each other, mouthing "what are they saying?" It took them a while before they realised what the crowd were chanting.......... and that's how it began.

The Angels wrote this song in the late 1970's.

I used to go see them as Moonshine Jug and String Band and as Keystone Angels at the Lord Melbourne Hotel in North Adelaide and the Modbury Hotel in Modbury around 1975. Then they went touring overseas as Angels. Great band.

I remember back in the eighties seeing them in the pub seen in Melbourne when the whole pub started singing the crowd lyrics to the song, which started out as a crowd joke but got momentum and became a proxy chorus to the song. What a night yelling it at the top of our lungs, drinking and having a great night out with the boys, man I miss the eighties...😎👍

Well this Saturday Night, 28th October 2023 I am going to see the Angels. They are having a 50 year tour 😜

Every Aussie knows the words even the ones the weren't written 😂🤣😂🤣

One of Australia's best pub bands, saw them dozens of times. Many drinks were sunk during these shows

The backstory to this song is that a close friend was killed in a car crash. They wrote this as a tribute/memorial. The guitar riff is the ambulance siren. When the crowd first added "that" line, the bank was quite taken aback cos of the real reason behind the song. But they eventually embraced it, as you can see :)

Out of all the bands I have seen The Angels is still my favourite. DOC had an amazing stage presence and charisma that would draw you in

One Angel's gig I went to in the early nineties, Doc was climbing around on the lighting framework 3 to 4 metres above the stage. He is a wild man.

The Angels toured America as support act to the Kinks. They got booted from the tour because they were upstaging the Kinks every show.

It was actually some people in an audience when they were performing in Queensland that started it and everyone ran with it :)

I've recently sub'd & going through your back-catalogue. So glad you loved this Aussie rite of passage.

You two are goals!🥰 What a great pair you are!

Aussie pub rock era literally the greatest music ever

My mates and I snuck in to a disco underage. We opened the door and this was cranking.

Seen them a dozen times back when Doc was around. Wild Aussie music 🤘🇦🇺

LOL i know all about lack of sleep... still havent slept yet...now 1pm! :P ..and yup youre right Ange... i have woken up from a notification and checked out ya vids!.. ...LOL the shirt gave it away!.. i shoulda known Rollen would pick up on that straight away! ....great reaction! love it!.. ya might wanna check out "Shadow Boxer"...another top banger of theirs the crowd bit started in the pubs..was never written into the song, just something the crowd came up with one night and it spread around the country for every gig they did !

I was at this concert lol they are originally an Adelaide high school band

That response spontaneously sprang from a drunken crowd in a Queensland outback pub in the 70s, Aussies rule

You wanna hit Australia in the 80's - Angels, Radiators, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel... Keep em comin..

It should be our national anthem

ok so, when i was in year 6 (in Australia that's around 12yo) the DJ at our school disco played this song. The next day every student had a note sent home for our parents to sign. All because we all shouted out the F word. repeatedly.

Can’t count the amount of times I’ve played this in pubs but it happens EVERYWHERE

Aussie Pub bands of the 70's & 80's RULE !!!

That was a popular crowd refrain for this song at an Angels concert, Remember well shouting this at an Angels concert where this was part of the encore, where they brought out Cheap Trick who supported them on the tour.

I'm old, and lucky, enough to have seen the Angels when they were a pub band. Also we were drinking wine in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens when a Semi Trailer, 18 wheeler, jumped the kerb and parked in the park. The side of the Trailer dropped and it was set up with drums and amps etc. The Angels got out of a car and played an illegal concert until the police came and shut them down. Oh and check out their other big hit "Long Line"

This song came out in 1977 and The Angels toured the US not long after that, so it's possible that some American acts borrowed this riff.

Taught my daughter then aged 8 the unofficial words to this song before she learnt it elsewhere, mostly from her Poppy. I also informed her it was inappropriate and we now sing "No way, No Way, No Way" whenever the song is played. Adult realise she knows the real response and smile at her clean version.

The words first emerged from a Blue Light Disco in My Isa in North West Queensland. Blue Light Disco was a police community initiative that catered for under age kids with no alcohol.

Love watching drunk americans watch the angels

The Anges, like many Australian bands, toured up and down the East coast and inland, playing in pubs and bars. These were incredible times. Often the entire band were playing in a small corner of the packed bar, jostling with drinkers. The music was so loud the bar staff used lip reading and hand signals, the enpty beer galsses rattled across tables to destruction. Mount Isa is a rough as guts mining town in the middle of Queensland Australia, not known for its kindness to pub bands. The Angels were playing up there one pay night, the miners were drunk and full of fun and fights. When Doc Neeson asked the question they replied, and the legend was born.

The shirt is the response to the Australian crowd creating the chorus as we know it

I met the drummer from this band he had some very interesting stories to tell, he wrote the song "she keeps no secrets" about a hitch hiker he "had relations with". Check it out

I'll have what you two have been having ..Love you two so cool

From Wikipedia on Dec Neeson (lead vocals) After completing secondary education, Neeson entered an Adelaide teachers college, "my first career option was to become a teacher, certainly never thought of having a career as a musician".[6] Before completing his course Neeson was conscripted for national service into the Australian army during the Vietnam War.[6] He served as an education corps sergeant in New Guinea for eighteen months in the late 1960s.[6][7] He subsequently attended Flinders University, completed degrees in film and drama, and intended to become a film director.[6]

I wore that shirt 3:54 to their Hordern gig for the Beyond Salvation tour. Blue Light Disco events in the 80s (discos hosted by the Police for kids) started it all. They used to run to the DJ and try and stop it every time, never worked, always caused a small riot.

"No way, Get Fucked, Fuck off" was originally said at a Blue light Disco in Hurstville NSW. A Blue Light disco was a disco that used to be put on by the Police as a vehicle to keep kids off the street. So this was kids at school age.

Even ACDC was told it wouldn't make it here in Australia 😂 that person was wrong

That was a great concert from what i remember.lol

Sent this to my Narcissistic Ex Husband for My Divorce Song. 😂 Queensland Australia 😛..Aussie Rock Bands Are the Best!

Nice shirt..... I’m here thinking...” just wait....” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s a anthem here love it never tire of it 😂 🇦🇺

The STANDARD refrain . We're 'Strayans . That's how we Roll .

I really enjoy watching you two and your appreciation of great Aussie music. A song and band you may not have come across is Skyhooks, the song. You just like me cause I am good in bed. Or Living in the 70's.

Aaaah memories lol

the funny thing is the crowd part was never part of the original it jumped in some time years after the album was released Dave Gleeson tells the story of how the call and response came about

I was there. The chant was already well known.

That song was the last song played at high school for the final year leavers for so may schools

In America this band was known as 'Angel City' as apparently a couple dense Uni chicks had a band called The Angels over there so they couldn't be touted as The Angels in America...true story! Try their song Shadow Boxer, all time classic...if you don't love it I'll cut off my left nut bro. ;) Love your reactions, thanks chief!

Yes it’s cheeky!!

no he got the t-shirt made up because that is what the audience shout back at him when he sings the title line - from what i was told it came from a crowd of yobbos listening to the angels live singing in an outback pub in the early 80s up in the territory - they started shouting that back to them and it slowly grew from that

Imagine 300+ high school kids moshing to this at a school dance, and supplying the chorus response full voice!!!

Love you guys from Oz

The fans made up the slogan first... The band NEVER wrote that line. They got the merch made up after it went viral. This is BEFORE the internet as well! 😀🇦🇺

The Angels is from my backyard -Adelaide. We love this song too :) Try Cold Chisel is from Adelaide too, John Farnham,, INXS,.....

This song is released in 1977.

A song from an aussie band in the 80s The radiators Gimme head.... you need to listen to it.

The Angels are still playing in pubs and we’re still screaming it out 😊

Might have to make you an honorary aussie. You nailed the aussie attitude.

First saw them in Sydney in 1976

As a young Aussie kid growing up in the 70s or 80s I remember thinking why aren't these fabulous bands international stars?. .

You guys have gotta watch Mr. Damage Live by The Angels, it's fantastic.

Great 70's - 80s outfit. Had some great hits.

Altona boy. We had such great bands.

When my wife was a teen, her mother, hearing the song, asked her what's so controversial about it. So my wife told her mother to say "Am I ever going to see your face again" to her younger sister. So my wife's mother walks up to my wife's younger sister and says "Am I ever going to see your face again?" So the sister, a bit confused, says "No way? Get fucked? Fuck off?"

i still have the no way, get f#cked, f#ck off tank top. only wore it 3 times in puplic. but now in a vacuum sealed bag. RIP Doc Neeson. Always my friend.

A random guy in a pub in Melbourne said it first it became an Australian anthem

There is another song not related as such to this one that the crowd will show out Who the Fuck is Alice. But yea seen The Angels a couple of times. Once as a teenager and once just prior to Docs passing. The Angels played with Motley Crue and Bret Micheal's in Melbourne. Doc never lets you down. Replacing him these days is the Screaming Jets singer... Brilliant replacement as he is a powerhouse in himself. Dav Gleeson

everytime this song in played in pubs around australia someone will sing ' no way get f....d f...k off "

Best band ever

Aussies do love a good sing-a-long. I was wondering where this was taped but the clue is the Ferris Wheel and big meat pie on legs at 11:18 - The Melbourne Showgrounds.

Swearing is fine, even from children, as long as it’s used in the right context, lol!…. I enjoyed this reaction very much. ❤️🇦🇺

This was my school disco days hsha...
