i went to see sinead O connor years ago just to see Marco: he rocks mightily.....(and he looked me in the eye when he heard me calling his name!) ooooh! best not go see Adam because if he lloks me in the eye i might well just die of heart failure....
Those years, say 1981, I was driving around the southwest USA with a cassette deck in a Toyota, "sailboarding" the reservoirs in Arizona (now called windsurfing, lol) and listening to Adam Ant and just digging this music, it fit the scenery.
I am 15 atm and i am in love with Adam and the Ants!!!!
I always thought i was born in the wrong decade! If only i was born 20 years earlier i would have grown up when these guys where in biz and i might have been able to go seen one of their concerts!
Its a big shame that they split but i see Adam seems to be doing fine on his own atm haha!
I am only 15 atm aswell. And i love them aswell. I wish that they hadn't split up. but unfortunatly it happens :( .
i keep thinking that i was born at the wrong time aswell. if only i could have been born earlier. It is good to know that Adam is doing fine now. He is getting over all that he has been through, which is good.
This has got to be one of my favourite Adam and the Ant songs :)
@hullshamon Lol... Well i don't blame them from splitting up, we all need a rest at some point and they had more than their fair share of fame lol... Adam deserved to retire for awhile... Guess he decided that he missed it haha... and made a come back :P
He is still going strong today... seen some pictures of him recently in April lol... looking good as ever! Lol. Hmm i dunno, i wouldn't be able to pick a fav by him lol, i like them all, but this is definately up the top end of the scale for me!
@hullshamon Hopefully there is some other band that is as good for you but where the people in the band are currently between 18 & 30 years old and making fresh music for you. I think Adam is still around. My son is 15 now to. When I was 15 this band was new to me. I thought they were fun.
0:10 > That look, the indescribably amazing image when you're only 12, and discovering the world, JUST STRUCK A CHORD way back in the days when Lennon and McQueen left us.

This is my favourite song the band ever did and a great live version of it from when they were a top class live act, before everything went a bit silly. Marco gets such a great guitar sound and is so under-rated for his playing. In another reality they might have subsequently made more interesting music than they did in this one, it was all downhill from Stand and Deliver onwards, everything post Kings of the Wild Frontier.
If my surname were Dandyliver I'd call my son Stan. :-o
Have You Noticed That The Bands Now A Days Suck....Like Bands From 2005 And Down Actually Had Valuese And Were Actually Good..And Actually Had Soul........What Happen To The Generation
Not only is Adam underrated, but Marco is totally underrated as a guitarist. He is a huge part of the sound of this band and Adam's solo records. The thing is, he doesn't overpower the lyrics. He's in and out at precisely the right time.
It takes a lot talent to do that, and a lot of self-assurance. Many guitarists want to be center stage.
I don't get it...what's wrong with saying they're underrated. I think that's actually complimentary...like, even more people should like them. Btw, here in the states, they are very underrated. Not everyone is "fortunate" enough to be from the uk.
alatham1979: I DO understand what I read - unless it's bollocks just like your comment!
According to Wikipedia Adam & the Ants were immensely popular in their time and scored 11 UK hit singles between 1979 and 1982, including two UK Number 1 hits.
Underrated artists ARE NOT immensely popular, they DO NOT sell millions of records and they DO NOT have Top 10 hits! GET IT INTO YOUR THICK SKULL!
i think what is meant by underrated is that when people look back on the 80s and this form of music all they can see is Duran Duran and Depeche Mode as the end all in 80s music, while Adam is overlooked when looking back.
AdrianRuehl, you are right to some extent but please keep in mind that Duran Duran and Depeche Mode are stiil around, whereas Adam & The Ants were extremely popular for only a couple of years (1980 to 1982) and then Adam Ant went solo. It happened over 25 years ago. I'm sure most of their original fans haven't forgotten about them. If you're an American teenager you may think they are underrated but it's only because the media have a very short attention span.
You may have a point but in all reality it really doesn't matter how popular someone was or wasn't for them to be underrated. And yes, I'm an American but I'm certainly not 16..try 26. lol
For your information Adam & The Ants were extremely popular in the UK (and the rest of Europe) in the early 80s. At one point they had 3 or 4 Top 10 singles in the UK at the same time. You call it "very underrated"?
I've been a fan of both bands, Adam and the Ants and Bow Wow Wow since 1981 or 1982 ...........and know about their history........what I'm really asking you is: do you acknowledge the awesome talent of Bow Wow Wow?
Sadly, both bands have poor stage acts. I'd rather listen to music than see it. What are your other favorite bands that I can check out?
this is no insult, it's just that "minimal movement" is boring. I'm not sure what they could be doing, perhaps ad some hot chicks in pirate swimsuits posing like bodybuilders on steroids
Hot pirate chicks? I'll vote no on that one! haha Being a woman I think just seeing Adam being his sexy self is enough for me to enjoy the performance! ;)
Poor stage acts my arse. Seen both b ands live more than a few times and there is no lack of movement. ANNABELLA never stopped dancing and the only reason Adam isn't jumping around is cos he's playing guitar, albeit badly.
I wasn't trying to be hard on Adam and my fav Annabella. I really don't know what I'd like them to be doing, jumping around sounds silly.............and yes, Annabella dances well at times. I once touched her toe at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C.......big deal huh?
well seeing as were going in chronological order.. I'm 14 and love adam and the ants too, although i do like todays rock/punk music as well. but the old stuffs great! Adam and The ants <3
This was taken from the Old Grey Whistle Test, a music show in the UK back in the 80's. It always puzzled me that the Ants never released this as a single!
No he didn't.,though he has appeared in several films and tv shows-I know he was in a movie called choose me and an episode of (I think-)amazing stories.Just to name a few.You might want to google his film and television career if you'd like to find out more.I know I,for one,will be an antperson till the day I die! ;-) Cheers!
anyone notice how the intro guitar playing sounds similar to the intro to super metroid/metroid music? wonder if it was a semi-tribute by the makers of that game.
please check out my omelette from outer space demo video. although the album version is the best and cleanest, this version will set your world on fiyahhhhh. ant is da man.
how come just about every song on that album sounds totally original? he took the genius of dirk and told a new band " right, we're going to do it like this, now". he was bloody incredible.
This song is still edgy to this very day. I'm only 20 yrs old and I rock this album all night long. I have the original vinyl and it's phenomenal from start to finish. I really wish that he and Nine Inch Nails would team up for a tour again.Thanks for this awesome performance!
I'm hitting 40 and i would love to see the younger generations enjoying this great music that we listened to, er, about 25 years ago..........where has the time gone?
I'm only 13 years old and love all the Antmusic! This sort of music is so much missed in this generation of music, much better than all that American over hyped crap!
Todays bands would never dress like this! they think their too cool and stale :) got to keep it straight and clean to get those record sales in :) I hope Ant dresses up again for his come back!
amazing!!!! i cant believe how good they are live..adams voice sounds even better than the studio stuff,its taken till im 33 years old to realise this. first album i ever bought at the age of 6 was kings. under rated band,but for me one of the best!!
Awesome! Love this song and the whole Kings album. In fact, I like everything I've heard by them or Adam solo so far. I'm glad I found out about them because they're very original. Wish I'd lived in the '80s and actually got to live at the time of such great music and performers. Still great to have the music and such cool vids to watch! Love Adam & the Ants!
I was a teenager in the '80's and I agree with you,I love anything by him-ants or solo. and kings has and will always be my fave album.(then prince charming!) only wish I would have had the pleasure to see him live! sigh!
I think if they would have explored more of this line of music they still would be kickin it! Instead they turned to goody tush and Strip which was to me, sell out crap... But I still love the Ants...
Oi Kookietur. Count yourself lucky you dont live in London cos i'd come & kick your sorry arse. 43years old & you come from Denmark fuck off you cunt you know NOTHING!!
Hot, hot, hot!!!! Adam you must tour Australia!!! You still have a big fan base here in Oz.

I´m 40 now and when it comes to music, I always kept up with the time, but with Adam it`s different.
Don´t know why, but I can´t stop listening to his music in the last few month.
There is something special about his (and Marco´s) songs. They never get old. They are still unique. Even in the 80`s antmusic was special. Wasn`t it?
I was addicted to him and his music as a very young girl, and now it seems like the obsession starts again....
Love you!

Aside from the obvious fact that this song is killer...I do love the colors of this vid too.

Without a doubt the best Ants lineup.They had the songs, the look, the attitude, before it all went a bit too pantomime.

how come just about every song on that album sounds totally original? he took the genius of dirk and told a new band " right, we're going to do it like this, now". he was bloody incredible.

Every track indeed was totally original. No Oasis or Blur, Stones or Beatles comparisons to be made here. Nothing like it before or since. Genius.

This song is still edgy to this very day. I'm only 20 yrs old and I rock this album all night long. I have the original vinyl and it's phenomenal from start to finish. I really wish that he and Nine Inch Nails would team up for a tour again.Thanks for this awesome performance!

I'm only 13 years old and love all the Antmusic! This sort of music is so much missed in this generation of music, much better than all that American over hyped crap!

Awesome! Love this song and the whole Kings album. In fact, I like everything I've heard by them or Adam solo so far. I'm glad I found out about them because they're very original. Wish I'd lived in the '80s and actually got to live at the time of such great music and performers. Still great to have the music and such cool vids to watch! Love Adam & the Ants!

I was a teenager in the '80's and I agree with you,I love anything by him-ants or solo. and kings has and will always be my fave album.(then prince charming!) only wish I would have had the pleasure to see him live! sigh!

I am so jealous of everybody who saw Adam Ant perform live. Whish I could have. Why didn't he tour in The Netherlands :(

I think if they would have explored more of this line of music they still would be kickin it! Instead they turned to goody tush and Strip which was to me, sell out crap... But I still love the Ants...

Brings back memories of the 9:30 club in DC when I saw them in concert back in 82 maybe?

This is an excellent performance from the Ants
It got shite after a remixed Antmusic/Stand & Deliver however the b sides Fall In/Beat My Guest/Christain Dior/Red Scab are smart
