"Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face up Again" is an Australian rock song written past Medico Neeson, John Brewster and Rick Brewster,[three] and performed by their group, the Angels.[4] [5] The vocal was initially recorded equally a ballad in March 1976 but subsequently re-released as a stone song. The song reached number 58 on the Australian charts and stayed on the charts for nineteen weeks.

A live single was released in January 1988 as the atomic number 82 unmarried from Alive Line. The alive version features the curse-laden audience response, "No Way, Go Fucked, Fuck Off".[6] This chant has been described past The Guardian 'southward Darryl Bricklayer as "one of the nearly famous in Australian rock history".[7] The single peaked at number xi on the Kent Music Report.

In January 2018, as function of Triple G'due south "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all fourth dimension, "Am I E'er Gonna See Your Confront Once more" was ranked number eleven.[eight]

History [edit]

Neeson said that the song was originally written as an audio-visual ballad about grief and loss. The girlfriend of Neeson's friend was killed in a motorcycle 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.[9]

After British ring Condition Quo discovered numerous similarities between the song and ane of their own ("Lonely Dark"), the ii bands reached an understanding in lieu of a lawsuit that saw Status Quo receive royalties from "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again".[ten] Condition Quo bassist Alan Lancaster was friends with members of the Angels at the fourth dimension of the incident, and lived adjacent door to John Brewster. In 2015, Brewster recounted having asked Neeson whether the song could've been based on "Lonely Nighttime" and recalls a not-committal response: "I might have heard it at a disco".

Call and response [edit]

Band: Am I ever gonna see your face up once again?
Audition: No way! Go fucked! Fuck off!

The famous response to the question posed in the chorus was not developed by the band.[11] [6] [12] Neeson recalled that he outset heard the response at Mountain Isa in 1983 and was "a bit shocked."[13] Thinking it was a criticism of the band, he asked audition members about it. They responded that the chant 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 audience dirge in Australian stone music history, the exact origins of it are lost.[14] In May 2014 Rick Brewster opined, "I don't call up it will ever be solved because too many people put their hand up and said 'I started it' and we don't believe any of it. Nosotros just remember information technology's funny, it's the bush-league telegraph really. The whole country was doing information technology and then we found when we went overseas the people in America were doing it also."[13] Neeson noted that "it'due south become the audience'south vocal, it doesn't vest to the ring anymore".[9]

The song and its response have become an iconic function of Australian civilization, such that the song may be played by any band anywhere in Australia with the dirge sung by whatever crowds are present.[xi] [13]

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