I have commented on this song previously. I put it this exact version on the other night at a friends 50th on a jukebox selection. Got a great response, even from the 'we know everything' Y generation present. TRUE CLASSIC.
I remember when first being shown napstar all those years ago. I was told to name any song and I named this one. The person showing me said "You would have to name the one song I know isn't on there!"
Imagine if Somebody got all the great Aussie ICON Bands together for a one off concert Chisel Angles Sunnyboys Radiators Aussie Crawl The TATTS Swanee INXS just to name a few & have it out where I went to an unreal concert in 2006 at The PUB WITH NO BEER Bowraville NSW (there's beer there) ! No one could complain about the 12hrs of ROCK & ROLL There'd be camping & well run & catered for all would get along no fights maybe just 1 or 2 LOL................**** I'VE JUST DESCRIBED HEAVEN**** sob !!
@Oucluscupitumamo1 They did!!!!!!..It was the Newcastle earthquake relief concert back in '91 or whenever. The Oils, the Angels, Daddy Cool, Split Enz and heaps more. Best concert ever.
@37kema I am a spoiled fat smart arse that plays computer games and uploads aussie rock... i just think i know it all and that's all there is to it and yeah, you would have hated me back in the 80's... i was like the little fat kid from Hey Dad... get over it! :-D
@Warthogfan that's coz you were a teenie bopper... i was 14 in '92 and i gave up on Top 40 music :-) It was The Pixies, Sonic Youth and of course the olds....
@CthuluHasChannel there really shouldn't be a Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame... there shouldn't be a Hall Of Fame for musicial expression... I'm not going to elaborate or get any further into my statement. Nobody is worthy of a Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame is not worthy of existence.
well,well,well if it isn't the very talented oxley bro's.crickey these boy's now how to play.seen them many of times in my younger days outstanding band .without a question one the best aussie bands the worlds ever seen or know.as smooth as poo.
Loved this band. Were they under-rated bearzzz? I lived in the middle of nowhere and saw them on Countdown. Loved them instantly, but I thought they were really successful at the time. That's my perception of the time. They were one of the first oz bands I listened to and loved. Still listen to them.
@multipurposescrew like I said ...don't trade on the reputation of your old man. That is the full truth, I know it and the only ass is you. Also I think you meant "write"
@dalmanation I corrected myself after the fact if you care to notice. And explain to me how telling you the truth is trading on the reputation of my father?
@dalmanation Also to explain further; I am a fifteen year old boy who lives in Canada, which I am sure you know means that I live far away from anyone who knows anything about the Sunnyboys, and I am curious to test the boundaries of my fathers reputation. Now who is the ass? It seems as though you are a man (or women) who jumps to conclusions. Do not pretend as if you know the full truth.
@multipurposescrew Well your Dad was in a popular rock band in the East Coast of Australia. They played good live music. I still listen to them. Whether you are testing the reputation of your Dad or not ( why? if not to make you feel good)....you are gaining from your Father's reputation. I am I right?. I personally find that uncomfortable. I can't say it any other way and I don't need to call names. If you really want to know, just listen to the music and decide yourself
@dalmanation Well you are not right since everything you say is an assumption with absolutely no proof. You have no relationship to either me or my father so you have no idea what our family dynamic is. You have no idea what the circumstances surrounding the original comment are so you can not say with certainty that I am trying to make myself feel good.To say otherwise would just be repeating yourself. Also you called me an ass as well so that side of your argument is without meaning.
@multipurposescrew I can't prove it....so I am wrong - that's very grown up? I understand in your family dynamic that your Father was in the Sunnyboys - evidenced by your basking in his glory. I ask you this - is there any other way of gauging to " test the boundaries of my fathers reputation" ? Or you could just blurt out - "if anyone is a true fan of this band than you'll know who my father is." In closing I retort in language which an insecure 15yr old would understand - Ummm whatever!
One of the greatest bands from that era out of Sydney...loved these guys and the Flaming Hands...saw both as often as possible...wish I'd seen them more!
Irrespective of the press...this band remains one of the most influential in Australia's history for musicians, and should be regarded alongside AC/DC, Midight Oil, and Cold Chisel (in no particular order)
A fucking cracker-of the shithouse bands that reform this is one I'd see again in a New York minute-I see that Jeremy has posted a comment here about not getting The SBs back together and while I understand it, I wish it weren't the case. Thanks for the gigs I saw and the great music you gave to all of us.
Wow, I saw these guys play a few times at the old Playroom on the Gold Coast in the early 80's . . . absolutely some of the best nights ever !!!!!!! . . .
wish i could get the band together one more time...but it was a labour of love and it's a shithouse life style anyway... i'm better off now with my family
Nzoz does it again, another classic I still wanna bring a 2TB drive round one night dude!

@tanzietiger Hi Tanya, Jeremy here. I remember you.we had a 3 week spell, hardly"lived with for a year"... i never did drugs with the huxton creepers..i just drank lots of beer..i am just clearing this matter up.
@MrJemox Hey Jeremy, Arch Law here!! You are spot on, fond memories of a great time and we were all far too interested in seeing how much beer we could drink to get into anything else. In Sydney these days with a couple of kids keeping me on a straight line and maybe a chance of some Creepers gigs later in the year which would be cool. Take care mate and hope all is well on the coast!!
@tanzietiger Jeremy here. I do remember you, we had a 3 week romance, i hardly call that "lived with for a year". I never did drugs with the huxton creepers, just drank lots of beer. Ijust wanted to clear this up
This was the first Aus song I bought after migrating there from Scotland in 1981. I was there at the last gig at the Graphic Arts Club. Great night, great band...really sad about jeremy....get well mate.
Was the 1st song I ever heard in 1981 after emigrating here from England also 14 yrs old. We'd just landed I was a young Mod and heard this on 2sm and I thought to myself it may just be ok and it was. Thank you Jeremy for penning such a fab song to start with but one that still conjures up wonderful memories both happy and sad. Bless you xx
I was only newly married living at Palm Beach, but when the boys were playing down at the Playroom I had to sneak out to watch them. They were that good. Cheers guys!!!
I saw them lots of times. they were a great live band,so much energy and great musicians. Jeremey never seemed comfortable with the adulation and the screaming fans, when they were rocking he really seemed happy but sometimes in his face it seemed a bit...well I don't know anyway we have these songs. Thanks for that
last time i saw jeremy oxley was lying flat on his back, semi naked, on the floor of the sydney trade union club. After that, we all ended up partying with Died Pretty and he had a mouthful of champagne and was dripping it drop by drop, from his mouth onto my boots. I secretly thought it was really horny, but my husband could have killed him
Interesting story, I was drinking with Jeremy one night at the Trade Union on Foveaux St. when he told me he needed to go to the toilet and stay right where I was. I turned around about a minute later and Jeremy was... relieving himself in the corner. Since it was about 3:30am, I'm not sure how many other people noticed.
I'm sure I carried him and his brother Peter out of Trade Union about 3 times... Christ they were heavy bastards!
I saw The Sunnyboys in the late '80s (I think it was already a reunion tour?) in Brisbane. I loved them; one of my favourite Aus bands of that era. Had an insane crush on Jeremy...didn't we all?
What an awesome band, some of the best music ever came out of australia started in the 80s - The Sunny Boys, The Church, The Triffids, The Go-Betweens, Hoodoo Gurus etc etc
The list is endless... I know this because 'nzoz1981' is only just the 1981 chapter of Australasian music... if you go to my channel's mainpage, you'll find links to the previous year and the next year.
@markbotv3 dude Sunnyboys were soo much before all those you mention except maybe the Oils, but they were pretty much underground then as well, different time era and attitude :-) but all those you mentioned were good too:-)
When these guys were "on" they were fantastic live band. Saw them one night at a pub in Nthn Sydney and they ripped and teared the place apart. Other times not so great. Very talented a crying shame re Jeremy's illness.
Hard to resist this anecdote: We (The BUZZ) were ripping in to Alone With You at practice, when a bloke poked his head in the door. He had an enormous grin on his dial. After the song, he reminisced how he used to (1980ish in Sydney) buy a pizza every Friday night and walk home past the Sunny Boys practice venue. He heard Alone With You become the song we know. 28 years later, he was walking home (in Kyogle, NSW) with his pizza and .......... :) Great song.
Saw these guys dozens of times back then. Still have the yellow vinyl release of the first album ! One of my inspirations to play guitar and write songs. Thanks guys.
I was also born in 1965. Great Band The Sunny's. Saw them at their farewell tour in 1991 at The General Bourke Hotel Parramatta. So much fun and memories.
I grew up in Kingscliff, NSW, where the Oxley boys hale from. I saw them countless times at the Grand pacific hotel and in Murwillumbah. What a time, what a band and what memories
@wha65 Don't think so.. everyone is doing their own thing now and playing in different bands and all have kiddies. Keep your eye out though... t'shirts coming soon....
I got to see them at their farewell tour, at The General Bourke Hotel Parramatta in 1991. That was a big buzz and great memories. I'm about Jeremy's age and i don't think he really knows how much, his songs connected with people of his era.
@tanzietiger Hi Tanzietiger, J and I live in QLD and have 2 boys. He has not done substances for many years nor does he drink anymore.Still playing music, painting and doing normal family stuff.. Life is good.
@tanzietiger HI Tanzietiger, J and I live in QLD an dhave 2 boys. He has not done any substances in years and does not even drink. Still playing music, painting and doing normal family stuff. Life is good....
Jeremy was the complete package. Great voice, great guitarist and great songwriter. He wasn't theatrical like Doc Neeson, Peter Garrett or Jimmy Barnes, but had that X factor that commanded your attention through his passion of music. He also had a cheeky grin on stage like his brother Peter on bass. I was 2 years younger than Jeremy and in my late teens when they were still together. I marvelled at his capacity to be so articulate at such a young age. His guitar work on Let You Go is amazing.
Thank you countryleaves a fair and just coment un like that Idiot Moparmal who thinks he might know and to his small brain has no idea i was the camera person that evening one of 5 ok
The KNOB that produced this video missed most of the guitar solo that proves Oxley was one of the best Rock guitarists Australia has ever produced. Putting the cameras on his brother during that solo was a mark of clear stupidity!
You can just catch Jeremy twiddling the tone dial to get a phased sound to the sustained notes if you watch closely.
Australské kapely patří mezi nejlepší! 'Sami si s' je jeden z mých nejoblíbenějších písní vůbec. Slyšel jsem tuhle písničku na Radio Free Evropa, když Československo bylo za železnou oponou. Sunnyboys jsou klasická kapela - jejich hudba bude vždy mít na paměti.
I first heard this song years ago on Radio Free Europe in Czechoslovakia. I love it - timeless Australian classic!! Sexy sound... Aussie music rocks!
Are you for, or anti nooeylovefriend's comment? "U HAD TO BE THERE" Hopefully if I was there I would have taken less drugs than you and would remain coherent twenty eight years later!
hahahahaha u seem to amaze me with your comment an labelin me bein on drugs DO YOU PERSONALY KNOW ME? coz i dont know you..it was a comment to someone that has been removed.but why should i justify myself to someone like you who labels and judges.man you must be depressed or bored..GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

Was the 1st song I ever heard in 1981 after emigrating here from England also 14 yrs old. We'd just landed I was a young Mod and heard this on 2sm and I thought to myself it may just be ok and it was. Thank you Jeremy for penning such a fab song to start with but one that still conjures up wonderful memories both happy and sad. Bless you xx

I saw them lots of times. they were a great live band,so much energy and great musicians. Jeremey never seemed comfortable with the adulation and the screaming fans, when they were rocking he really seemed happy but sometimes in his face it seemed a bit...well I don't know anyway we have these songs. Thanks for that

last time i saw jeremy oxley was lying flat on his back, semi naked, on the floor of the sydney trade union club. After that, we all ended up partying with Died Pretty and he had a mouthful of champagne and was dripping it drop by drop, from his mouth onto my boots. I secretly thought it was really horny, but my husband could have killed him

Interesting story, I was drinking with Jeremy one night at the Trade Union on Foveaux St. when he told me he needed to go to the toilet and stay right where I was. I turned around about a minute later and Jeremy was... relieving himself in the corner. Since it was about 3:30am, I'm not sure how many other people noticed.
I'm sure I carried him and his brother Peter out of Trade Union about 3 times... Christ they were heavy bastards!
Good times!

I saw The Sunnyboys in the late '80s (I think it was already a reunion tour?) in Brisbane. I loved them; one of my favourite Aus bands of that era. Had an insane crush on Jeremy...didn't we all?

Hard to resist this anecdote: We (The BUZZ) were ripping in to Alone With You at practice, when a bloke poked his head in the door. He had an enormous grin on his dial. After the song, he reminisced how he used to (1980ish in Sydney) buy a pizza every Friday night and walk home past the Sunny Boys practice venue. He heard Alone With You become the song we know. 28 years later, he was walking home (in Kyogle, NSW) with his pizza and .......... :) Great song.

I got to see them at their farewell tour, at The General Bourke Hotel Parramatta in 1991. That was a big buzz and great memories. I'm about Jeremy's age and i don't think he really knows how much, his songs connected with people of his era.

Jeremy was the complete package. Great voice, great guitarist and great songwriter. He wasn't theatrical like Doc Neeson, Peter Garrett or Jimmy Barnes, but had that X factor that commanded your attention through his passion of music. He also had a cheeky grin on stage like his brother Peter on bass. I was 2 years younger than Jeremy and in my late teens when they were still together. I marvelled at his capacity to be so articulate at such a young age. His guitar work on Let You Go is amazing.

The KNOB that produced this video missed most of the guitar solo that proves Oxley was one of the best Rock guitarists Australia has ever produced. Putting the cameras on his brother during that solo was a mark of clear stupidity!
You can just catch Jeremy twiddling the tone dial to get a phased sound to the sustained notes if you watch closely.

These guys were so cool, I saw them first at a 3XY $3.10 cent concert, does anyone remember the 3XY $3.10cent concerts? Saw INXS at one in about '79?

Australské kapely patří mezi nejlepší! 'Sami si s' je jeden z mých nejoblíbenějších písní vůbec. Slyšel jsem tuhle písničku na Radio Free Evropa, když Československo bylo za železnou oponou. Sunnyboys jsou klasická kapela - jejich hudba bude vždy mít na paměti.
I first heard this song years ago on Radio Free Europe in Czechoslovakia. I love it - timeless Australian classic!! Sexy sound... Aussie music rocks!
