"Am I Always Gonna See Your Confront Once again" is an Australian rock vocal written by Doc Neeson, John Brewster and Rick Brewster,[three] and performed by their group, the Angels.[4] [v] The song was initially recorded equally a ballad in March 1976 but subsequently re-released as a rock song. The vocal reached number 58 on the Australian charts and stayed on the charts for nineteen weeks.

A alive single was released in January 1988 as the lead single from Live Line. The live version features the expletive-laden audition response, "No Way, Get Fucked, Fuck Off".[half dozen] This dirge has been described by The Guardian 's Darryl Bricklayer as "i of the most famous in Australian stone history".[7] The unmarried peaked at number 11 on the Kent Music Report.

In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'virtually Australian' songs of all fourth dimension, "Am I Always Gonna See Your Confront Again" was ranked number 11.[eight]

History [edit]

Neeson said that the vocal was originally written as an acoustic ballad nearly grief and loss. The girlfriend of Neeson'due south friend was killed in a motorcycle standoff, and the two friends were discussing life later on death. The chat inspired Neeson to write the lyrics. References to subjects like Santa Iron and Renoir came from Neeson's own experiences.[9]

Later on British band Status Quo discovered numerous similarities between the song and one of their own ("Lonely Night"), the two bands reached an agreement in lieu of a lawsuit that saw Condition Quo receive royalties from "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face up Once more".[10] 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 song could've been based on "Lonely Night" and recalls a not-committal response: "I might have heard information technology at a disco".

Phone call and response [edit]

Band: Am I e'er gonna encounter your face once again?
Audience: No manner! Get fucked! Fuck off!

The famous response to the question posed in the chorus was non developed past the band.[11] [6] [12] Neeson recalled that he first heard the response at Mountain Isa in 1983 and was "a chip shocked."[13] Thinking information technology was a criticism of the band, he asked audience members about information technology. They responded that the chant had its origins at a disco in Sydney where the DJ would reject the book to encourage the audience response.[vii] [6]

Although it is a famous audition chant in Australian rock music history, the verbal origins of it are lost.[14] In May 2014 Rick Brewster opined, "I don't recollect information technology will ever exist solved because too many people put their paw up and said 'I started it' and we don't believe any of it. We just recall it's funny, information technology's the bush telegraph really. The whole country was doing it and then we found when we went overseas the people in America were doing it too."[13] Neeson noted that "it'south go the audition's song, it doesn't belong to the band anymore".[ix]

The song and its response take become an iconic part of Australian culture, such that the vocal may be played past any ring anywhere in Commonwealth of australia with the chant sung past whatever crowds are present.[xi] [13]

In 1999, Neeson performed the song during a "Bout of Duty concert" for Australian troops in East Timor. The audience responded with the chant while Commonwealth of australia's Governor-General, and then commander of the INTERFET forces in Democratic republic of timor-leste, Peter Cosgrove, East Timorese spokesman Jose Ramos Horta and Roman Cosmic Bishop Belo were in attendance. When asked past Bishop Belo what the oversupply was singing, Cosgrove responded "Well Lord Bishop I really can't quite brand it out," adding in a retelling of the story, "So Ramos Horta looked at me and I could tell that he could make it out!"[xv]
