"Am I Ever Gonna See Your Confront Again" is an Australian rock vocal written past Doc Neeson, John Brewster and Rick Brewster,[3] and performed by their group, the Angels.[four] [5] The vocal was initially recorded as a ballad in March 1976 but subsequently re-released as a rock song. The song reached number 58 on the Australian charts and stayed on the charts for nineteen weeks.

A live single was released in Jan 1988 as the lead single from Live Line. The alive version features the expletive-laden audition response, "No Manner, Get Fucked, Fuck Off".[six] This chant has been described by The Guardian 'due south Darryl Mason as "i of the almost famous in Australian stone history".[7] The unmarried peaked at number eleven on the Kent Music Report.

In January 2018, as function of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'about Australian' songs of all time, "Am I Ever Gonna Run across Your Confront Once more" was ranked number 11.[8]

History [edit]

Neeson said that the song was originally written as an acoustic carol nigh grief and loss. The girlfriend of Neeson'south friend was killed in a motorbike collision, and the two friends were discussing life after death. The conversation inspired Neeson to write the lyrics. References to subjects like Santa Fe and Renoir came from Neeson's own experiences.[nine]

After British band Status Quo discovered numerous similarities between the song and one of their own ("Solitary Nighttime"), the 2 bands reached an agreement in lieu of a lawsuit that saw Condition Quo receive royalties from "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Over again".[x] Status Quo bassist Alan Lancaster was friends with members of the Angels at the time of the incident, and lived next door to John Brewster. In 2015, Brewster recounted having asked Neeson whether the vocal could've been based on "Lonely Dark" and recalls a non-committal response: "I might accept heard information technology at a disco".

Call and response [edit]

Band: Am I ever gonna see your face again?
Audience: No mode! Become fucked! Fuck off!

The famous response to the question posed in the chorus was not developed by the band.[xi] [6] [12] Neeson recalled that he commencement heard the response at Mount Isa in 1983 and was "a bit shocked."[13] Thinking information technology was a criticism of the band, he asked audience members nearly information technology. They responded that the dirge had its origins at a disco in Sydney where the DJ would turn down the volume to encourage the audience response.[7] [6]

Although it is a famous audition dirge in Australian rock music history, the exact origins of it are lost.[fourteen] In May 2014 Rick Brewster opined, "I don't call up information technology will always exist solved considering too many people put their paw up and said 'I started information technology' and we don't believe whatever of it. We simply think it'due south funny, it'southward the bush telegraph really. The whole country was doing it and and so we found when nosotros went overseas the people in America were doing it too."[13] Neeson noted that "it's get the audience's song, it doesn't belong to the ring anymore".[9]

The song and its response have become an iconic function of Australian culture, such that the song may be played by any band anywhere in Commonwealth of australia with the chant sung by whatever crowds are nowadays.[11] [13]

In 1999, Neeson performed the song during a "Bout of Duty concert" for Australian troops in Democratic republic of timor-leste. The audition responded with the chant while Australia's Governor-General, so commander of the INTERFET forces in East Timor, Peter Cosgrove, E Timorese spokesman Jose Ramos Horta and Roman Catholic Bishop Belo were in omnipresence. When asked by Bishop Belo what the crowd was singing, Cosgrove responded "Well Lord Bishop I actually can't quite make it out," adding in a retelling of the story, "And so Ramos Horta looked at me and I could tell that he could make information technology out!"[15]
