Adam R-Ant loses it at Charity gig

[220395G]

Shit audience, shit venue. Adam Ant does a decent thing, using his time to perform a charity gig to raise money for a good cause, then the audience turns around, insults him and tells him 'we don't want you either'. If I were in Adam's position, I'd lay into them too.

[RyogaXvX]

Ok from what I gather someone or a group of someones walked out when he got on stage, thats when he was saying, "Good night! Love you!"

Then someone in the audience said something about him cussing?

correct me if im wrong. I love Adam Ant Im just having a hard time making out the audio

[futuristfood]

i love him too,.

[futuristfood]

@futuristfood me too,.

[lrperkins2003]

I love him :-)

[MyCatsBreath]

@SunboXUK YOU JUST RUINED MY LIFE!! I would never fuck Adam Ant now that he's fucked someone who's fucked Russell Brand! 17 years of masturbation fantasies just came to a screaming halt.

[Bohemian11000]

@MyCatsBreath Masturbating over adam for 17 years? your problems are a many tierd onion.

[catjoyyoung]

He has come so far since this episode. He is rocking it Ant style all over the UK and on his way to The U.S. in February and I've got my tickets to see him in my hot little hand!

[TheRealCritique]

Appearing tonight...Puppet Show, and Adam Ant.

Drug addled twat!

[bloderme]

He also has a well documented history of diagnosed manic depression (or now the politically correct word is bi polar). In the last decade he has been hospitalized for bizarre behavior. He just needs to take his medication. There is so much shame attached to manic depression. But he is an original. And as for the pirate look, he did it in the late 70s. He is the original King of the Wild Frontier.

[tommyrock69]

He's pushing 60 and looks 30. He was an artist first and a pop whatever secondly. Some people can't see the artist. Scratch that, most never saw the artist.

[chaotic1820]

Give respect you'll get it back!!!!....what was bugging that one particular mouthpiece I think adam answered very well with singing......was the nature of his game..... and his game ROCKS! always has always will!!!....Long live Adam Ant... Glad to have you back m8!

[Dravenswraith]

I wish he'd sung this for real..it sounds like he'd be great on it but he's just po'd..

[HTprods]

I saw him walk past me in London. It was surreal.

[Monifiethcaveman]

Adam Ant copies no one. Johnny Depp bases his character on Adam Ant, not the other way round. That's why he has been in the business thirty years, he's like Madonna, a chameleon who can survive by adapting, not some artificial Simon Cowell talent show wannabe.

[ScarlettHarlott]

@Monifiethcaveman YES!!!! THANK YOU for saying that! If ONE MORE dipshit says that Adam is copying Johnny Depp, I will beat some ignorant ass!

[whitbyjet65]

@ScarlettHarlott Adam Ant is copying Johnny Depp.

[ScarlettHarlott]

@whitbyjet65 As I said, "ignorant".

[whitbyjet65]

@ScarlettHarlott No, you said you were going to beat some ignorant ass. I'm waiting.

[theEricoeric]

@whitbyjet65 Adam ant always looked like a pirate way before Depp.

[whitbyjet65]

@theEricoeric True but he didn't look like this. This is obviously a copy of Depp's look.

[theEricoeric]

@whitbyjet65 how do we know that Depp didnt steal his look? i mean we dont see Adam ant much. Depp could of seen him before us. Depp is from were Adam is.

[whitbyjet65]

@theEricoeric Stop being so silly. It's no big secret. We've seen Adam over the past years. He didn't look like this.

[theEricoeric]

@whitbyjet65 ok .maybe Adam ant watched Pirates of the Caribbean to many times?

[mekissingyou]

Why are people saying hes trying to be johnny depp? :/

Actually michael jackson copied adams coat, apparently he rang him up in a hotel room asking where he got it from... also johnny copied adam.

Thanks.

[chi69201]

LOVE THIS!

Love him even more!

Always have, always will!

Thanks for posting!

[MegaGlitterbomb]

huge fan ...but this was sad...no respect for god ...and then to sing sympathy for the devil...one day adam you will knell before christ ...i pray he shows you mercy and grace

[captcaveyuk]

@MegaGlitterbomb Typical - the only way you can 'love' christ is to be afraid of him/her/whatever. Adam responded to the idiocy of someone in the crowd and if God is the forgiving type, which I've been led to believe he/she/whatever is then Adam is golden.

[MegaGlitterbomb]

@captcaveyuk ...YOUR RIGHT ...only if youve accepted jesus christ as savior...i hope he does someday ...as i hope you do also...god bless

[LouisPlume]

He has turned exactly as his character in Derek Jarmans film Jubilee was predicted to be. I think Jarman knew.

[fitzpatrickgf]

Those of you who don't get it, look up Vaudeville! May West. Alice Cooper, KISS have used it in their acts and show. Adam is not insulting anybody. It's all a part of the show to weed out the real fools who shouldn't be anyway just so the other fans can continue enjoying the show. Good Man Adam Ant You Are! Love Yoda

[TheGzeus]

@fitzpatrickgf Shit, my horrible comedy band has had to do stuff like this at terrible gigs.

Tell them off before the heckling starts.

Get hostile in a hostile environment, I say.

[SuzLa1]

That was good of him to do a chartity gig at a church.

[PAMFRIZZY]

@SuzLa1 am not sure if your comment intended to be hilarious but it was, thank you!

[balearicsoundwave89]

what a fucking idiot. he is a clown .

[sjtom57]

That clown thinks way too much of himself. Thumbs way down.

[madincx2]

I think its obvious hes pissed because the organizers did not do their job promoting. He is very clear about where is "everyone".

[peterpeterxxo]

good work from the antman. tell that nazi twat to fuck off all day long.

[reaperpro]

I wouldn't say he "lost it." He conveys pretty openly that he's been thrown out of nicer places. I can understand that. The cat's been in show biz a long time. The facial hair is REALLY weird though.

[Wscate]

well if you think about it Adam started out as a punk so this is not all that surprising .

[swamplight79]

What just happened? He just got his soul suck out of him on camera or something...

[TheEchovoices]

trying to look like Johnny Depp Much?

[fallonestrello90]

@TheEchovoices what the heck! are u serious!!! ummmm he always dressed like this... whatever.

[newfuckingwave]

@TheEchovoices JOHNNY DEPP TRYING TO BE ADAM ANT MUCH?

[SuzLa1]

@TheEchovoices lol are you joking? Adam looked like that for 30 years.

[ohfantasyfreeme]

Adam Ant singing Star Star, I think my life has just been made :')

[63punkaddict]

@bowiewhore

Amen

[63punkaddict]

@NHBIKERCHIXX

Adam touring uk now and again next year to promote the forthcoming album. Check ents24.com for dates. Dunno if he's coming your way --:0)

[63punkaddict]

[NHBIKERCHIXX]

@63punkaddict ok how old is this post ? im from the states and would kill to see adam no mater how far if you can inlighten me greatly apreciate it

michelle

[hardyboyzrko]

I ask WHO Manages him ? What kind of Star ends up playing in some fucking Church Hall, washed up , I doubt it, but clearly has somebody making the wrong career decisions for him.

Adams song Wonderful to me is one of the best songs ever written

Look it up here on Youtube

[mrbillhicks]

Madder than a box of frogs

[ledaddymac]

fuckin train wreck..you should remove this.

[eddiemami]

Hahaha! Fuck it up Adam! Sorry your mates didn't understand.

[orriblebob]

He's lost it, time to call it a day mate.

[Neodunce]

i want to give that the biggest fucking high five i ever have!!! :) love adam

[MatthewOfLondon]

WASTED ON PEURILE MUMSNET + NEW MAN TYPE WANKERS! 

[lottieisthequarry]

"can you cover his ears" LMAO, that audience was wasted on him.

[jaggass]

What a crap audience Adam Ant is a punk rocker who tried to something for good charity but the audience ruined it.

[TheMeanmaori]

I think Adam has a right to react whatever way he likes in this situation and just because he has a well publicised mental illness people asume he's fucking mad!! How many people have undetected mental health issues out there?! The fine, upstanding Christian in the audiance is a rude loud mouth cretin. In my opinion Adam was sandbagged. The guy was obviously doing someone a favour and what did he get, insulted! Adam was clearly respectful at the start but thought "fuck it!" when that happened!

[charisfulone]

OOH I like him. I like the way he talks and I am not normally big on the British accent but man I could listen to him talk all day.

[james97802]

bi polar is just an excuse 4 a narky messd up of dugs guy

[ktgibbsribs]

Still an icon of the 80s he is forever beautiful x

[thequeenoflipbalm]

Y'know what sometimes you just gotta flip and show people how it is, we've all done it haven't we?! ..I'll speak for myself there :) That place didn't look stimulating enough for someone like Adam Ant, who can stimulate me any day by the way :) Swoon x

[cableman4347]

...and we all know that Adam Ant is bi-polar and is always going to suffer extreme reactions. The man is still an icon on my book; his abilities in the 70s, 80s and 90s were marvelous, and he brought a huge amount of pleasure to millions of people. Hoping his illness can be controlled and that the genius within him can be nurtured again. Power to you, man, a musical legend without a shadow of a doubt.

[cableman4347]

Man, that was so funny! I read "news"paper articles and online comments about this gig (my hometown), where Adam is said to have lost it and been sectioned: seeing this clip just shows what lying scrotes journos are and how low they will go to get a "story". The guy was in an empty church hall( the venue IS a religious hall) in awful surroundings; I can't see that he "lost it" as was reported. The geek in the,er, crowd(?!) was saying that "we don't want you either"; not very christian like...

[JoeStunner]

What exactly was the issue here? Why was Adam pissed off and who was doing it? The guy's clearly not well and hasn't been for some time. I've loved his music for most of my life (the first ever gig I went to was The Ants in '81), but I do worry about the guy. If by some stroke of luck you read this, Adam, look after yourself mate. xx

[monkeemoo]

well i was a punk in the late 70s to late 90s, and an avid Adam and the ants fan.. went to A/A/A the gigs back in the day... Disappointed he showed a total lack of respect at this church charity gig, its for a good cause..but then he is ill with bipolar..but it did seem a very hate filled rant... i really think he is too ill for a comeback ... =/

[pompeyloyall]

how very rude

[catjoyyoung]

I think things are looking up for Adam. Search his recent gigs in November. He's in brilliant form.

[pinkydeluxe01]

You all stick up for Adam, which is cool cause I want to also..............but we all know deep down inside something's not right and he's losing it. I want so bad to see him back again just like loads of other antpeople, but I hope he doesn't make a public joke of himself in the process. I'm pullin for you Adam!!

[1Atomtan]

@pinkydeluxe01

I don't know how it is over there, but in the states when the government is in charge of your meds they rarely get it right. Adam is one of a kind. A true inspiration. Many of us over here are pulling for him. It looks to me that whatever they have him on isn't properly measured. Maybe not. .The thing he does with his mouth is just how my ex wife you used to do and she has a similar illness.

[220395G]

@pinkydeluxe01 Bit late replying, but look up some of his gigs from November 2010 - there ain't no way that man will be making a joke out of himself, he'll never lose it.

[husker72100]

Love you so much dahling! Kisses and love to you sir!

[d9y8l7a6n5]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE you Adam

[tribsees]

wrong place wrong time wrong audience. completely understandable why this genius went slightly berserk in these pitiful surroundings. which idiot arranged this gig. get well soon Adam. ultimate respect.

[HonRevPTB]

@tribsees Couldn''t agree more!!!!!!!

[NixoTM]

ADAM! They're SHIT, WE LOVE YOU!
