Adam & The Ants, Prince Charming, live

[Dirlandas]

You are the mistake. As your mums milkman will testify.

[101Hobbsy]

Saw him at Glive guildford on tuesday - he's still got it.

[littleXcupcakeXkitty]

what would i give to have been born 30 years earlier to see this...

[bankie59]

Me and my mate Chris saw them live 1980/81 at Glasgow Apollo just before they got famous. The drummers were amazing .

[ybot1983]

strangly a throwback to 50s rock n roll which punk was, to think bowie and kraftwerk were around well before its feels like Bolan only 7years later

[LittleSweety]

This song was 30 years ago no.7 in the world charts #adam #and #the #ants

[NewAristocrats]

Fabulous performance! A big 2 of <3s to you Adam and the Ants ."Ant music is the banner" Forever yours, Your descendants of wild nobility--the New Aristocrats

[TheAstradyne]

The crowd is overdubbed on. Listen to the end, you can hear the canned applause speed up lol!

[Dirlandas]

@TheAstradyne errrrrrr no it isnt. Man up.

[TheAstradyne]

@Dirlandas errrrrr yes it is. If that's how a crown begins applause (by audibly speeding up as someone removes the pause control) then fair play. But they don't, do they? Dubbed. Have a listen.

[Dirlandas]

@TheAstradyne No. It. Isnt. u.n.d.e.r.s.t.a.n.d?? (writing slowed right down for the benefit of the hard of thinking)

[TheAstradyne]

@Dirlandas Use your ears. The crowd is dubbed on. Or perhaps you can explain the inhuman speeding up as the play button is depressed.

[Dirlandas]

@TheAstradyne I bow to your superior experience and knowledge of being 'inhuman'.

[TheAstradyne]

@Dirlandas Thank you. It's a terrible pain having to correct and pity you mere mortals, but compliments are always welcome.

[Dirlandas]

@TheAstradyne you are welcome. All you need to do now is buy another brain cell to have a matching pair.

[TheAstradyne]

@Dirlandas Sorry. You're mistaking me with a moment in your own life there.

[justanotherschoolkid]

lol they all look like they're drunk. yes i'm immature but seriously.

[pinklesley]

@justanotherschoolkid That's rock n roll......

[81antmusic]

5 charming princes on stage - I still love them all.

[ajsiemers]

[TheRazoola]

Adam Ant vogue'in years before madonna

[ThePanzerfist44]

amazing times to be a teenager - 1980/81 we had The Jam, Adam and the ants ,The Specials,Madness,The Police and Blondie all in the charts at the same time .

[KATalcoholic]

I was born in '93 but got brought up listening to his music (Mum was 18 and a big fan) and I absolutely adore him. I would of loved to see him play back then. I would consider now, but he's just not the same :/

[cynicalandsarcastic1]

I SAW THE ACTUAL PRINCE CHARMING COSTUME!!!!!!!!!! It was cool

[TheBigHase]

Ant Music for Sex People! Sex Music for Ant People! Ho! :-)

[sidivephilippines]

100 years ahead of its time...

[mallanhead]

I was there at the concert. Drury Lane Theatre.

[joannalexus1]

God....how gorgeous does Chris Hughes look here? I always knew Adam was a god but i'd forgotten about Chris OMG!

[joannalexus1]

He was a friggin genius ! We didn't appreciate Adam enough...or that amazing band

[THALIDO]

Way ahead of its time. Pure Genius.

[653sexybabe]

[g7r1g]

[Dirlandas]

Absolutely magnificent!!! 30 years later and nothing as creative and visual as this to rival it.

[Zixx457]

[Mustardsnakes]

I love adam and the ants. But he kinda seems to be phoning it in here.

[policebass3913]

OMG this is total HELL!! good, but wow they're drunk AND high!!

[markmckaytnt]

[rixxmyname]

[Dirlandas]

Quality. Absolute quality.

[i8beachglass]

he was sooo cool in the 80s, i saw him at malibu on long island-great nite

[missinglink51]

Hot, hot, is there any other words>>>

[czeshirecat]

It makes me smile that,at the time he was popular, I read an article saying that under his make-up he had a gray complexion with pimples lol.

I wouldn't have kicked him out of bed tho ;)

Shame there aren't more people nowadays taking such care over their style.

[latics11111]

First sp I ever bought was Stand & Deliver, this ensured I saved my pocket money to ensure Adam& The Ants was the first lp I ever bought.

Still wind me up these tunes and the volume always gets turned up full.

[mkjmoo]

saw him live in 81 at the Fox in Atlanta took my lil sister

[ardalsgirl]

I love it when he does that Prince Charming dance. :) And I love the way he screams in the beginning of the song too. :p

[LordInksworth]

Wonder if Adam had all his gear still in the cupboard...

[buddyholly1958]

its in a london musem and some sold for charity

[Fitzhugh1975]

Not so great live.. No PUNCH!!  Still love em tho.

[cosmeticcarrepair]

I agree, it lacks the punch. Probably would have sounded better there though.

[gracedigir]

I made those customs but the fabric is very expensive :) labor also :) a lot of work and details.

[easynowww]

Lmao lol What The Fuck is This???? lmao lol. Freaks of Nature!.

[liamblackere]

wher can i get a suit like that? i very much do like it

[rockerscarface183]

i got some bits from the fancy dress shop then just made the rest but i do think u can get the top but i just got that and then made the others but puting other stuff together

[Plectra666]

Adams outfit was created by Vivienne Westwood. The credit for her doing this is on the back of my 33 original Prince Charming album on the inside notes

[Imkittie]

Ohhhh-k Dan, I see what you're talking about I didn't finish watching the video until now... It's the tacky mirror effect, right?

[DanJParker]

Great vid...can anyone spot the 80's video effects?

[Imkittie]

Well we know it's not the Casio beats 5000 effect, so what is it?

[thenshekissedme]

Great concert

[chalklava]

I am so jealous of anyone who ever got to experience this in person. Shoot, I'm even jealous of anyone who has it on VHS. lol. Thank God for youtube!!!!

[Plectra666]

I saw this concert when I was about 13 years old in Sheffield and I was right at the front of the stage. It was an amazing gig and I owe Adam many thanks for inspiring me as a musician too. It was one of the highlights of my life seeing this gig in person. I wish he would release this on DVD. GENIUS

[Cheryl1965]

@chalklava Be jealous of me...; -) saw him when I was young - so young my mom had to take me. He was beautiful and the sound was amazing, especially the double drum set.

[chalklava]

@Cheryl1965 Consider yourself envied! :) Oh, that double drum set really gets me...Aside from the music being amazing...the theatrics of the "magnificent five" ...LOVE it!!

[freakyafronaut]

Loved this song and this concert.

[wolfq]

I just wish I could have been at that revue, I have always been a big fan and I've just turned 50

[Cloughjordan23]

alright i know the 80's are long time back but even so i thought the whole world had still heard of them lol. im shocked when ppl on here have to ask who they are!!! They were so good and just soooo massive

[Cloughjordan23]

and i always wondered how they would carry off the screamin intro when live

[noels0asis]

i understand what you want to say. so did i. when the first time i heard them, it was really shocking but fresh! so i crazily found them out and got their cd. Adam Ants was a frontier, really.

[EgoShredder]

@Cloughjordan23

People and the current youth seem to have a very narrow focus on purely the here and now. When I was a young kid I was both looking at the present AND backwards in time, i.e. I looked for jewels amongst my parents and uncles etc music collections. I was born in 1971 but even before I was ten, I was listening to 40s/50s/60s and 70s music, albeit mainly hit singles and the occasional album.

[TW83SS]

@EgoShredder

I was born early 80s and I totally love this...

[rockerscarface183]

where is this band from

[deadringerscwmbran]

london......early eighties. legends. 3 number one singles for the ant including this.

[preciousbash]

THANK YOU>>>THANK YOU >>>THANK YOU>>>>THANK YOU!! I enjoyed this an ungodly amount!! BRAVO ADAM & THE ANTS. You are an absolute angel for posting this . I have not seen this live since I was 13 . YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

[durgama1969]

ditto~~~ ~~~~

Thank you!!!

[kofaqueen89]

stinking great!!! Loved Adam and the Ants in the day!!!! Still do, who am I kidding.

[moonboots69]

Johnny Depp, Russell Brand.. look & learn. He was your daddy..

[FinsburyJack]

haha, right! :D

especially regarding russel brand

[Cheryl1965]

@moonboots69 Excellent point!

[damedavid]

@moonboots69 Don't mention Russell Brand in the same breath!! He is my number 1 most hated celebrity. How I'd have loved to have seen this (I was only 10) :)

[TheSunnyGirl83]

@moonboots69

urrrrrgh, you cannot compare russel brand to adam ant and johnny depp!!! russel brand is such an ugly person. adam and johnny are HOT.

[TheSunnyGirl83]

@moonboots69

russel brand is fuckin' ugly...

[skrason]

@moonboots69 You know, you just made me think. Depp or Brand would be PERFECT for an Adam Ant bio, don't you think?

[myabsynthedream]

@moonboots69 indeed!

[PlayStationGamerGod]

I can't stop watching this!!:D

Thanks a lot for uploading it!

[puncbass]

I love this

[AngryVideoGayNerds]

Awesome!

Adam & The Ants forever!
