[@patrickbarnes729]

Awesome performance, one of my favourite songs ever, It didn’t sound right until you guys added the ‘no way get fu**ed, f**k off’

[@penguinjammer8522]

Awesome cover guys!!! I do have to ask about the Tarakan hat though, what's the connection to the old trash can???

Oz Rock is having a Renaissance. People are finally tuning into just how uniquely brilliant the best of it was.

[@tiang5132]

The sudden anger at 2:55 with the “no way get fucked; fuck off!” Made me tear up from the passion and joy. Can’t wait for this to get added to Apple Music

[@hattash9556]

Felt that hard aswell 🙌🏼

[@rowanrulezchaching9758]

Why can’t I hear that part when I listen to the original song?

[@schnoplow1020]

@@rowanrulezchaching9758 not aussie, but basically it’s a chant with relatively unknown origins even to The Angels where the crowd would shout back “No way, get fucked, fuck off” after the “Am i ever gonna see your face again” part is sung live.

[@tiang5132]

@@rowanrulezchaching9758 I believe because it was only previously done when performed live at concerts.

[@cootha8631]

@@tiang5132 The band never sang that part, it was never part of the original song. It was the crowd. It's iconic.

[@domgriffin4603]

This legit gets better with every listen. An Aussie Rock classic, not only featuring the original members of The Angels, but the gold standard plethora of current Aussie superstar musicians Add in that they didn't shirk away from the classic Aussie mannerism A legitimate chance to make it back-to-back LAV Hottest 100 winners Just flawless imo

This is wonderful. Started out thinking "Makes sense, they're not going to sing THAT lyric" but oh no, it just got better. And seeing the Brewster Brothers there too, absolutely fantastic. It's things like this that make the ABC and Triple/Double J a National Treasure.

[@mlapamusic]

Amazing performance everybody! Bumped into the dune rats at a bar in bali a couple months ago, amazing lads, and they told me about how they were thinking about using this song for like a version. I told them how i had just seen the angels dark room tour, and that the "no way get f..." line was the highlight energy still of the show - crazy seeing the final product with actually securing the brewster brothers in the performance!

[@Trippy72Spore]

This was the first (and last) rock song ever played at my private school (Barker College) - the band consisted of 4 Yr 11-12 students and a teacher. It was the "last" because we all screamed the reply to the chorus. The senior staff weren't impressed, but it goes down as one of the most legendary pieces of live music I've ever heard. Thumbs up for Mall Rats getting two of the original Angels band members to play it with them! This version is just awesome...

Great to see the Brewster brothers banging it out again. I saw the Angels late 1978 in a Blacktown pub, and many more times after. I'll never forget when Doc sprayed water on me as he performed this classic song. Thanks for a great performance and memories of the best pub band .

[@goochpalms]

ABSOLUTELY SMASHED IT BOYS!!! BEST LAV EVER!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@fellowship_of_the_goat]

The Angels were my dad's favourite band. He grew up with them as his soundtrack, and every time they would play local (usually the Dee Why RSL) he'd get dressed up in his leather jacket and go down with his best mate to trash around to them and come home roaring drunk. He'd be absolutely smitten with this cover, so so so good to have classic Aussie rock still being enjoyed by the modern crowd. Congrats Dunies and friends, you've done it proud. And yes I am a couple of rumbos deep and I will not apologise for party rocking.

So after hearing this live on the radio I waited patiently for the video and then still waited until I had the chance to catch up with my mother. As all parents do she formed my taste in music young before I ventured into my own territory which she was never much of a huge fan of. However when I was telling her about hearing this on the radio, before showing it to her, she said one thing of it and that was "they better have done the uncut version" Needless to say my 53 year old mother's neighbours are now questioning her age🤣🤣
