I'm 60 now, and when I play this song I'm 16 again. Thank you Doc and the angels. You will forever be with me. The gift of music is truly a remarkable thing.
NZer here. *Awesome Aussie rock* from the '80s! It's unmistakable with that hard-edged raunchy sound! The Angels, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel - just a few of the great Aussie groups from those times! Cheers to all me Aussie mates!
fuck yeah brother, pub rock at it's best. Today's shit dont even rate, pity the younger for missing out on real Aussie musicians, they've missed the pubs and 3 day rock festivals. Raceway Rock was my fav
I was born too late for the pub rock scene but I'd have loved it. I'll still go see live gigs where I can but it's an echo of a time that's been and gone. Had the privilege of seeing the Angels in concert recently with my old man - bloody brought the house down. Best live performance I'd ever seen, hands down; I only wish I'd had a chance to see them 20 years ago. Thanks for the music - my generation can only bow our heads in homage.
Made the mistake of putting this song on just before a band came on stage in a pub in Christchurch one night, Packed the dance floor. Song finished and the pub band came on stage and every-one sat down, The Angles were a hard act to follow
that is funny an ironic since an awesome aussie band grinspoon did a cover on 1 of the angels songs take a long line and 1 of there classic songs is called a hard act to follow
Glad I grew up when I did I always thought Australia had the best Rock Bands. I miss my Sunday afternoons beer garden sessions. Now its all F*&#en cafes.
This was an incredible time for aussie music . The pubs were rockin and then they got all these awesome bands together for concerts . I saw them all and each one had their own unique presence . Oils,Angels,Chisel,AC/DC,INXS ,Rads,Spys,Rose Tattoo,Aussie Crawl,Stevie Wright the list is endless . My life is great still being able to go back to this time ! Thanks for the additional comments. I could have made this list far greater . Bands were pumping all over Oz . Hoodoo Gurus,Mental as Anything ,Died Pretty, Sunny boys,Beasts of Bourbon,The Saints . I got to see them all and plenty more . Add more if you want. It was a time to remember but also a time of lost brain cells so help me out ...lol
We need a time machine so when we need to chill out or work off some anger we could go back and see these bands live again. The world is poorer for the loss of these bands. BUT, we can still youtube all the songs they did do:)
RIP the two members of The Angels Doc Neeson (January 4, 1947 - June 4, 2014), aged 67 Chris Bailey (May 31, 1950 - April 4, 2013), aged 62 You both will always be remembered as legends.
The Keystone Angels (as they were originally named) held several lunchtime concerts in our school hall at Marion High School in Adelaide back in '74 or '75. Can you believe we only had to pay 50 cents to see them? Best 50 cents I have ever spent!
Leanne in Adelaide ....Play their "Greatest Hits" album, sister...(!!)...talk about a trip, ( down memory lane, of course..[!!!]...)....!!!.... Absolute Legends of Rock..!!!!!!.../!!!!
My Older Brothers Band Faceless Crowd played This Song and got A Big Following in Boston MA. This Song is Special to Me And My Family. It was A Staple iny older Brothers Set back in the Day.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🎸 👊
I’m 22 and I love pub rock my dad loved going to to watch the angels, chisel and oz crawl etc he even met doc one night after a gig in Newcastle back in the early 80s I’m proud to be Aussie 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺
Hell yeah i'm 19 my dad loves the Angels. Raised me on this stuff lol. I actually bought him a ticket to see them live at Penrith Panthers in January 2022. He's real excited.
The opening verse to this song... lyrically brilliant, and the vocal.. wow. We used to blast in Vermont when CHOM FM (out of Montreal) played it on the radio.
My dad and Mum saw Doc’s last concert, I am 15 and have been raised on this glorious music and wish I had been able to see an Angels concert and watch Doc perform
@@sudalis8094 thats really cool, sadly i was too young to see him live. dad said that the crowd went mental when the intro for marsilles started playing, G'day from south ozzy
@@westernstateswaterreplenis4612 The only thing I heard is that the Kink's kicked them off their tour, I don't recall why. Where can I watch the documentary?
Man,I loved these guys back in the 80s,I saw them in Portland Oregon, the had a few other great tunes besides this, marseilles, straitjacket, devils gate,long line. They had so much promise, could of been right up there with ACDC. I still love em. RIP to lead vocalist Doc.
12 years ago!! My first real band EXIT played this from a cassette tape and i have had the ear worm on and off for nearly 45 years...aand I still got a fresh feeling when i heard it. The solo was deceptively hard to play from memory...glad i found this....I love the statuesque stance of Richard in stark contrast to Doc. Along with Marseille and long line they make me complete...so my band mates will become progenitors of our version-s.
Love Aussie rock and love this song! Only 25 and my Aussie playlist is always a hit at work with the young crew. Wish I lived in this time. Will be rocking out to this till the year 2050 and beyond!!
Saw the Angels live several times in the 80s. Awsome band great music and Doc's stage performance just topped things off. RIP Doc and thanks to the entire band for some great music.
Perth Entertainment Centre early 80s, half way through this song Doc leaps off the stage and runs flat out right up to the nose bleed section with the spotlight on him the whole way. Stops two seats away from me and finishes singing this song on his knees to a young girl sitting there. I don't know who the girl was, or if Doc knew her, but it was a great moment that has never left me. Truly one of the great Aussie bands of all time.
ANGELS used ROCKED so hard i reckn i went to more than 500 live concerts travelled all over NSW to watch use and drank a shit load of BOURBEN at each concert. SENSATIONAL BAND im 60 now and still listn to all your music , teaching my grand kids some good ROCK MUSIC . RIP DOC
Its the first time i ever heard of rock wiz the black sorrows or the bull sisters. AND I AM BLOWN AWAY WITH HOW GOOD IT ALL IS THOSE GIRLS FUCKING ROCK!!!
A mate of mine came around my place with this record album straight from the record shop we got smashed etc etc but he left taking only the jacket/cover leaving the record on the turntable. Which I noticed after he left so I in my diminished state drew Doc's eyes on a white square paper sleeve and put the record in it for safe keeping. The things you do! He still remembers collecting it a week later! Man the 80's
songs of my youth , these guys rocked New Zealand from top to bottom year after year like no other band had before or since ..sad day .. happy memories . prayers and thoughts to close friends and family
I grew up in Maroubra, and up the road from me lived one of the guitarist's from the Angels. On Saturday mornings he would crank up his Marshall's which I could hear inside my parent's double brick home about 200 meters down the road. I could imagine his neighbours must have been agonising, but to me it was great rock being blasted! Fun times.
Hello there fair Maroubra neighbour,I also live in Maroubra I was raised on Angels, dire straits black sabbath and many more, my father took me to a 3 day camp out for a concert in the early 90s,2am the song belted see your face again, let's just say being a small pup the noise was astronomical from the crowd and I will never forget. May my father RIP and Doc 🥰😎🎸🎶✌🏼
First live act I saw was The Angels at Festival Hall in Brisbane. I was just 16 I think. Standing right in front of the speaker stack. Couldn't hear properly for days. Will never forget such a great live act. Liked them so much I saw them maybe 5 times more with the classic lineup. Ahhhh. Youthful exuberance for a perfect rock band.
So sad to hear of Doc's passing. Awesome frontman that i had the privilege to see several times in the 80's. My fave Aussie rock band by far is The Angels. Vale Doc.
I saw these guys twice, live in Portland in 79-80. Such a great band and I wish they were more appreciated in the annals of rock music. So clean and precise was their music and never understood why they disappeared from the US rock scene. There catalog of music is awesome, if you can find it anymore.
I heard this song a couple of times on the radio when the album came out in the US. I was 12, and loved, loved, loved it. Then I never heard it again until Napster and all that. Let me just say that it fully and for all time answered one question for me. "What if AC/DC were smart?"
one of the best bands I've seen, kalgoorlie at foundry pub. awesome night, doc had the crowd jumpn, that pub was rockn, great time was had by all there. fantastic entertainment, brilliant band priceless memory. R.I.P Doc,
77 years old and I am back again. Speakers are ON really ON. Love it.
My type of guy!!
I'm 60 now, and when I play this song I'm 16 again. Thank you Doc and the angels. You will forever be with me. The gift of music is truly a remarkable thing.
64 here and totally agree ...
Same. Except for me it's 15. I used to see them at the beer barns in Sydney. Great band.
This is one of the best Australian music tracks
Such a memory lane song for me also, dirty little rifs, love the angels attitude
What about the Saints, awesome aussie band as well
74 years old and this still gets my head banging. Love it.
60 here and was at the manly vale hotel maybe 100 people in the crowd I hear you silver beard hello from Lightning Ridge
I am 55 and it's the same for me :) I play their cd's all the time RIP Doc
@ Alan Hill that's awesome. Idk if I'll make 74, but still doing it for me at 53 ;)
Yeah man keep rockin dude, hats off to you mate, the old rock and rollers still going, yee ha bro
Don’t ever let the kid in you die 🤙🏻
Quite possibly the greatest Australian rock song ever made
NZer here. *Awesome Aussie rock* from the '80s!
It's unmistakable with that hard-edged raunchy sound!
The Angels, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel - just a few of the great Aussie groups from those times!
Cheers to all me Aussie mates!

Such an underrated band. This one of the best of the rock songs ever written.
Hammeing.
They were HUGE in some parts of Australia ...started doing pub gigs all over the place - Molly probably discovered them !
Im near 50, but Fuck we had fucking awesome music to listen to, thanks Doc and miss you mate!!
fuck yeah brother, pub rock at it's best. Today's shit dont even rate, pity the younger for missing out on real Aussie musicians, they've missed the pubs and 3 day rock festivals. Raceway Rock was my fav
I saw these guys in 1988 The Palais Theatre St Kilda so awesome.
that you squizzy ? from asquith n brooklyn...
I was born too late for the pub rock scene but I'd have loved it. I'll still go see live gigs where I can but it's an echo of a time that's been and gone.

Non angli, sed angeli
that is funny an ironic since an awesome aussie band grinspoon did a cover on 1 of the angels songs take a long line and 1 of there classic songs is called a hard act to follow

Should've tried playing the same song from another angle
Glad I grew up when I did I always thought Australia had the best Rock Bands. I miss my Sunday afternoons beer garden sessions. Now its all F*&#en cafes.

Fucking pokie machines are all you hear in pubs now .
Not skyhooks?
the Oils are still amazing btw :) Saw them last year.
I'm 19 and me and my mates have the best taste in music thanks to our folks! Get around it!
One of the best Aussie bands ever......for those of us lucky to have seen them.....we know.
RIP the two members of The Angels
Doc Neeson (January 4, 1947 - June 4, 2014), aged 67
Chris Bailey (May 31, 1950 - April 4, 2013), aged 62
You both will always be remembered as legends.
I may be biased being Australian and all but I honestly think this one of the greatest rock songs ever written.. No,.. Crank it and see..
Too right matey!
Dean Jensen ...Fkn too right brother..!!!!...
Aye.
I'm Canadian, and Dark Room is an amazing Album.
Spot on
The Keystone Angels (as they were originally named) held several lunchtime concerts in our school hall at Marion High School in Adelaide back in '74 or '75. Can you believe we only had to pay 50 cents to see them? Best 50 cents I have ever spent!

Voll geil all over the world! I am 57 thats my music! Greetings to Adelaide to my Cousine!
OHH Faarrrrk! Lucky Mann
Beautiful
Bloody hell how good is classic Aussie rock legend stuff
What a voice, he only needed to speak in most songs. Just unique. RIP mate, not forgotten.
I've seen a lot of Aussie bands live, but these guys were the best.
Two of the best melodic rock guitar solos you will ever hear. Like two pieces of well composed classical music snuck into a pub rock song.
Saw them at the Manly Flicks when Choir Boys backed them./ Amazing
those solos are fucking epic i agree with you there
Just brilliant, iconic Aussie rock solos. Love the way the vid segues from Doc to Rick B.
My Older Brothers Band Faceless Crowd played This Song and got A Big Following in Boston MA. This Song is Special to Me And My Family. It was A Staple iny older Brothers Set back in the Day.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🎸 👊
Rick Brewster is still a guitar beast!! Love his tone. The Angels (Angel City) are legends!! RIP DOC
One of THE best front men. RIP Doc ❤
I’m 22 and I love pub rock my dad loved going to to watch the angels, chisel and oz crawl etc he even met doc one night after a gig in Newcastle back in the early 80s I’m proud to be Aussie 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺

You missed out on the best era in the 80’s at the pubs!
@@davidlp3019 bloody hell that sounds good lucky you I bet you’s will have a great time make sure to get on the piss 🍺🍺 lol
@@janinemartin9045 you know what mate you’re not wrong
Doc tried to come on to my missus in a Perth pub concert in 1985. It didn't work.
I'm not sure if I'm proud or ashamed of her.
be proud
Great song
The opening verse to this song... lyrically brilliant, and the vocal.. wow. We used to blast in Vermont when CHOM FM (out of Montreal) played it on the radio.
My dad and Mum saw Doc’s last concert, I am 15 and have been raised on this glorious music and wish I had been able to see an Angels concert and watch Doc perform
Doc was amazing . i saw him twice here in the U.S. in the 80s. Incredible showman, and the band was fantastic.
Cheers from Washington state.
@@sudalis8094 thats really cool, sadly i was too young to see him live. dad said that the crowd went mental when the intro for marsilles started playing, G'day from south ozzy
Makes me proud to be Australian to have artists like this one
Definitely Matthew 👍
J’ai mis de nombreuses années à retrouver ce titre de The Angels. Quel bonheur, quelle pêche !!! Bravo les australiens !
Man, that guitar solo is such a classic. I can’t play it, but I can hum it almost note-perfect. Perfectly constructed and executed 👍
This should have broke the band wide open in the US. Saw AC/DC and Rose Tattoo, always wanted to see them too. RIP Doc, thanks for the great music.
The documentary about them kind of explains why they never made it in the states. They could have very easily been the next AC/DC.
@@westernstateswaterreplenis4612 The only thing I heard is that the Kink's kicked them off their tour, I don't recall why. Where can I watch the documentary?
@@macmcc030261 It on UA-cam - Doc Neeson The Max Artists Story. It is pretty interesting to hear it all 40 years later.
@@westernstateswaterreplenis4612 Thank you so much! Can't wait to see it.
55 years old and saw the ANGELS every other weekend when we were young..miss you so much DOC
Man,I loved these guys back in the 80s,I saw them in Portland Oregon, the had a few other great tunes besides this, marseilles, straitjacket, devils gate,long line. They had so much promise, could of been right up there with ACDC. I still love em. RIP to lead vocalist Doc.
I saw them in Portland too. Paramount. Maybe 81. I was about 14.
Awesome song that still sounds good after thirty years. And the guitar solo... It has everything in a small package. Perfection!
2023 and it's still perfection
The guitar lead break hits my heart every time. So so good!
Nothing beats aussie rock, I guarantee if they were big as the American bands they would of done even better
One of the greatest Aussie Rock songs!
My dad got me into this band and this was the song he played and it was the best thing he has ever done. I wish I could of watched Doc live. RIP
12 years ago!! My first real band EXIT played this from a cassette tape and i have had the ear worm on and off for nearly 45 years...aand I still got a fresh feeling when i heard it. The solo was deceptively hard to play from memory...glad i found this....I love the statuesque stance of Richard in stark contrast to Doc.

Absolutely a classic!
31 and heart broken I'll never see him or Jim Morrison live 🖤rip legend I'll play you untill the day I die 🤘
These guys were the 1st live band i ever saw and was lucky enough to see many times again with doc . They really were so dam fn good , i miss it alot
NONE OF WHICH I CAN HELP BUT I’LL STILL SAVE HER EVERY TIME
Ahh, to be 19 again. These guys were awesome live.
They came out of nowhere like a meteor shower-some might consider them AC/DC light, but no- much more melodic, musical dynamics.
Yes i agree.
Brilliant music! Alcohol not required. Just dance the night ad day away. Awesome memories.
Lol Doc was high as fuk mate
I'm Canadian but these guys rocked
Love Aussie rock and love this song! Only 25 and my Aussie playlist is always a hit at work with the young crew. Wish I lived in this time. Will be rocking out to this till the year 2050 and beyond!!
its 1:47 AM local time where i live and i just had a sudden random craving for this forgotten song... love love love
Always loved the guitar leads in this...still awesome in 2021.
Super catchy, I love it when hard rock has melody, harmonies and a chorus along with all the riffs and solos and swagger.
No band can duplicate The Angels. There a unique Aussie rock band.
And IT WILL FOREVER DRIVE HER MOTHER CRAZY
One of the great Aussie songs of all time!! We love you Doc!!! Hope you and Michael are rocking them up there!!
Great band great song
I'm a Canadian and I can honestly tell this band got me into radio. I was a huge fan many years ago. LOVED THESE GUYS. RIP DOC.
Such a better time in my life...take me back.
Ahh, to be 19 again. These guys were awesome live.
Its not The Angels without Doc singing.
Classic Aussie Rock
I've seen them live twice... awesome both times! R.I.P. Doc!
That's real music - man that's good.
Far out favourite band greatest band amazing sound would of loved to see them live cheers for the memory
Stills sounds fresh after all these years ... classic!
I saw the Angels at Pondi on River Murray. Legends Rock on Adelaide

God has a special place in his/her heart for early 1980s Aussie rock. And even some from the late seventies.
I'm a staunch KIWI - This is one hot Ozzie Band!! My fave song when I was 18 Xxx
Hey Kiwi x
i'm 61 and used to roady for many bands including them in the day lol

That’s WHY WE WILL ALWAYZ GET ALONG SO WELL FOREVER
Still one of the best bands ever.
This is real music, R.IP Doc Neeson, we miss you a lot.
Memory's tears old freinds lost along the way .
Lighting that reminds me .

Had privilege seeing em live local to me and Sunnycoast early nineties, Can see him rocking it, upfront, anytime, any track is heard.
I was there to lol I was only around 9yrs old, I'm 37 now! I remember it like it was yesterday we stayed in tents and cars it was astronomical 😎🎸🎶✌🏼
Just amazing. Loved the Angels.
Like this! never heard it before.
What a song
Make no .mistake the doc rocks r.i.p wit the angel's
This song is a fn classic

"What if AC/DC were smart?"
Greatest song of all time love the 2 solos at the end of the song fucking brilliant
one of the best bands I've seen, kalgoorlie at foundry pub.
awesome night, doc had the crowd jumpn, that pub was rockn, great time was had by all there.
fantastic entertainment, brilliant band priceless memory.
R.I.P Doc,
Without Doc, Angels don't exist anymore
No that's true but since Doc died I've seen Him Hilbun out front and he does a pretty good imitation 👌
