I'm an Irish man that lived in Australia for years and I don't recognize these Lyrics to this song,I remember them being more colorful hahahahaha...I miss Australia, what a beautiful place it is and the Aussies are a rare breed,long may they live and prosper in peace....Up Australia you Legends!
Doc Neeson the singer for the Angels was born in Ireland (and bass player in this song) wrote the lyrics to this one. It was in Mount Isa Queensland that he first heard male audience members sing the colour that speak of.... Up Ireland as well you legends.
Nah, I know what you mean - but it just means you didn't understand the verses. Some of the most poetic verse in Rock history - and some great guitar. Fortunately, their live engineer was much better than the recording engineer.
Saw the Angels live in Aussie pubs. Doc Neeson belting it out in his tuxedo.. climbing the stage scaffold...his face in the blue light singing Baby out of the blue. One time I was close to the stage in a pub and Doc spat water over the crowd...landing on me. It was like holy water...RIP Doc and long live The Angels in Aussie rock mortality.

I was at a concert in the Swan Valley and hearing 1500 upper class people scream in response to an acoustic gentle version of the song really let me know as Australians we have a truly beautiful country and culture
Doc was in a class of his own. Great musicians but Doc WAS The Angels. The fill-ins and pretenders are second-rate at best. Lucky for us, we can watch one of the greatest frontmen to ever come out of this country whenever we wish. Thanks for the great memories, Doc...RIP...🌺🌺🌺
@@ROOKTABULA Bon was born in Kirriemuir, Scot, and his family moved to Australia when he was 8 in 1952, They moved to North Freo, WA in 1956 when he was 12. He was educated at North Fremantle Primary School, and at John Curtin Senior High School, WA. The original and the best. Doc Neeson was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. When he was thirteen in 1960, his family moved to Adelaide, South Australia. He served in the Australian Army in Papua New Guinea for eighteen months in the late 1960s. Massively underrated lyrics. Right. From. The. Opening. Line.
And they're both fresh off the boat, like a lot of Pop Icons, Australia has taken to heart, like, as you mention, and the BeeGees,ONJ, Jon Farnham, the Easybeats, etc, etc
I toured Australia with a US basketball team years ago. In Darwin they held a big party and played this song. In the chorus we were all surprised to hear the locals all screaming "No way! Get F'd! F off!" (This is the abriged version). By the time the second chorus hit we all joined in! Great time, great song, great chorus!
@hnybny When we did it, it was still relatively uncommon. Many Aussies hadn't even met Americans. Basketball was still a developing sport and not overly popular over there at the time, so we were relatively dominant. I was a high school sophomore, and my teammates and I were often asked for autographs after games! 🤣 Crazy!
We didn't realise back then that we were watching the development of one of the greatest rock bands this country has ever seen; fantastic lyrics, awesome music, one of the greatest front men in rock and absolutely sensational live... just pure talent. What a legendary band :)
@@rippi37 I saw them at the Armadale in Vic about the same time, then again in the early '80s, caught some of their big concerts, then saw them in Perth in the early '90s - timeless energy! People had started singing the response chorus by the last one, but they were above it.
@@presidentxijinpingspoxdoct9756Bridgeway is in Adelaide. I was there the night their PA blew the 3 phase power for the whole pub. So loud I could barely think. Drummer did a 10 minute solo while they tried to fix it and then the gig was abandoned.
Great seeing them as young dudes again. I remember the first Countdown they did. Instant fan. Sad they fell to pieces a but but it’s amazing what they achieved after this.
Mate, they were unbelievably good live. Back in 1978 when I was 19 and saw them with my mates They were part of a group of three bands handled by the same booking agent. Triple Bill, Angles, Cold Chisel, and Icehouse. What great nights
ANGELS always loved the music and how wonderful they are thank you sharing it am l ever see your face again thank you sharing it beautiful wonderful as well
the angels almost blew the roof of one night at south maroubra pub 1980s. we were young whipper snippers teens hanging around the back of the pub drinking kb cans. the whole croud started singing iam i ever gonna see your face again.then the croud would sing. no way get fucked fuck of. absolutely sensational. never forget it. now my kids admit the best singers and bands were from the late 70s-80s. cold chisel-australian crawl-divinyls-acdc-midnight oil and so many others. and the best thing about it you could see them at the local pubs.
East Donny High ..we won the Big M competition for them to play at our school and they played in our sports hall. Paper boys brought it home by pinching so many Big M's from all the surrounding schools milk drop offs each morning..haha..Respect Joffa,Big Tim, Pitsy , Strappa, Matty,Bud,Trent, Adam nwgffo:)
these are not the amps they used ...these are props for video ...at this time they were using the amps they had bought from Angus and Malcom which gave them their holy grail tone
Except this song is a blatant rip-off of Status Quo's song Lonely night and they had to pay Status Quo royalties. AND, AC/DC are not really Australian. They're basically a British band formed in Australia.
i think it is an "off brand" chorus pedal, but he is pretty tight lipped about his FX chain in all the interviews ...very unique and cool, and what attracted me to Angel City ...does not use it live any more ...i do not understand???
I know, you say gimmick, but wouldn't he, the band be fore front on the evolution? I mean that in the most sincere way! Listening to some early tunes, mourning a middle school friend lost in a motorcycle accident, I'm 56, makes you hear music in a different way, kind of piecing together my own mortality! I know bleeding heart, just lost my father in law a few weeks back, trying to fall back on the one thing that unites all.. a cool tune! Wish you the best if you are out there in Aussie land!! Pipes!! To this day, Ac Dc rocked them best... thanks for listening... ✌️
The only reason they are called Angel City in North America is so they could avoid any potential law suits with other bands who used similar names to their own (The Angels), hence why they had a different name for international markets
An interview Doc gave (source not recalled) stated that the premise of this song was about an ex-girlfriend that had commited suicide. "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" The band was disappointed when the catch-cry of 'No way get f****ed f*** off' developed as an anthem.

first time i seen them was a little place called Wollongong - around 1979
No way get F*#ed ,F## K off.
Good ONYA mate 👍
Up you to, ya ba$tard!!! LOL..
At the top of your lungs, the chorus people, explicit but worthwhile.
Wow I remember being 20 central coast leagues club . I used to stand in front of the amps and just soak it in.far out it was awesome. I'm 52 now😞😞
no way, get fucked, fuck off
Great band
Better then ACDC
Only for a while,

im feining for more

@@CP-tb4fl same and perfectly said.
People come and people go but legends live forever RIP Doc.
Doc and Bon were the greatest rock vocalists ever . Amazing we had both of em .think about it
One was a fellow Scot and the other was Irish: Some serious talent comes from that end of the island.
I miss them both,
For just a while rock n roll was perfect in my youth. Both bands were and are huge up here in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.

It wasn’t in 1989, was it?
@hnybny Summer (well, winter down under) of 1985. I was on a Washington state team called the Screaming Eagles.
@ I was on a flight with a basketball team going over in 1989. I guess it happens a lot.

Must have started a trend

If you call ripping off Status Quo pure talent then so be it. Listen to their song Lonely Night written a few years prior to this.
Gee australia has really good music artists some of the best in the world how could anyone want to miss a good concert
The memories keep me young .
They play this in the underground mine I’m in Western Australia for warm up stretches 😂❤ makes me love STRAYA !
What a great band, at Mt Buller 1977 they were the best ( hopeless at skiing ) we had a great time with them.
Fantastic period of The Angels.
Awsome Rock band❤
i was today years old when i found out “no way, get fucked, fuck off” wasn’t actually part of the lyrics. im 21.
That cracks me up!! I grew up with them, and have seen them live, and we always sang it!! Brilliant band live!!
Young pups
. It's a line invented by the audience and not part of the song.
The song is about a friend who died
Gold... you're not alone!
😂
Thanks for uploading this. God, they were great! 👏🖤👏
ALWAYS LOVED THESE GUYS,AT THAT TIME THEY BRING BACK GOOD MEMORIES🎶
What a night at the Bridgeway Hotel in 1989.
The Angels rocked.

The very first iconic Angels song I learned.
I saw the angels at the Charles Hotel in Perth , AWESOME !!
One of the best rock bands you could ever see......Many nights at the Bombay Bicycle Club in Hindley Street in Adelaide rocking on.
Iconic 🇦🇺🔥❤️
Love the very 70’s starburst filter on the stage lights!
Great Australian band.
They are legeo❤
Saw them in this guise at a gig in '76 North Sydney Boys, they played this 3 times!
Unbelievable the best rock band Australia has ever produced and just under 8k subscribers come on
These guys were the best 😊
NSW Austraia, Wollongong leagues ckub, every second Friday night. Late 70's early 80's. Good, wild nights

saw them busby high school
Know them as Angel City. Rock on.
The best
My Favorite song at the moment.
A love song
The Song is about a close friend of the band who sadly died in a car crash in France.
The opening line is elegant and poignant. Not bad for a hard rock pub band.
Goes of with a ♥️ bang to the best memories
How every Australian public school girl learns survival techniques dating in the real world ...! It’s true !! 💓

Doc was great.
WTF? Rick Brewster’s moving! Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Also... Rare to see Charlie King on drums and Doc on bass here.
Thanks!
I don't think docs bass is plugged in😂😂
@@Stelly669 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
J'ai écouté ces chansons pendant des années sans avoir vu la tête des musiciens du groupe !
If only could go back in time before graduation
I remember seeing this done in a glam rock style on Coby Steele show maybe 1976?
Grew up with this song ya can't help it 🤬🤬 lol
Great song the beat gets ya going 👍👍👍👍👍👍 2:39
My fiancee is an Aussie so im trying to learn all the popular songs down there before i visit

Jim Carrey… such a talented person, on this occasion singing and playing the guitar.
RIP Shane Warne

Found them in a Sydney nightclub years ago when only a few people turned up but in no time it would get packed out..
This is next level😂
Einfach nur genial 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nice Status Quo cover of Lonely Night. Sometimes songs sound the same without intention but this sounds way too similiar to be a coincidence.
Ots not a coincidence
No way g f F off:) love it
yessir
At the Comb & Cutter, Blacktown Doc was God. ANGELS! ANGELS! ANGELS!
Greatest Australian Band of All Time - (with no apology to AC/DC)

Shades of Status Quo. 👍😎
What do you mean "shades"? Thats a Quo song!! Written as a bonus track for the 1974 album Quo. Words are chamged but thats all. A great Quo song!!
Top tier gutiar riff
F......yeah
My grandpa used to yell “no way get fcked fck off” in the chorus
Who is the drummer? Doesn't look like Graham Bidstrup?
Canadian here... waiting for the swearing part ... so when do I cus?
this needs to be in the australian cizenship test
Andy Scott’s Sweet sang this
Cult crowd chorus classic

@@funtimefreddie9637 Lonely Night.... the reason the Angels finished up paying royalties to Status Quo.
@@ajo3085 Pity the Quo version had different lyrics, different guitar riffs and tanked in the charts.

Back when Doc played the guitar
Looks more like bass
