"Kings of the Wild Frontier" is still a classic album, I would urge anyone to grab a copy, full of swagger and fun and damn good tunes. The band look cartoonish now but in 1980-1982 they were the hottest band in the UK (maybe only The Police were bigger) and were taken very seriously. The press was full of "would you let your daughter go out with Adam Ant" outrage, hard to believe now.

im 45 and im stil mad on stuart(adam ant) wen i was younger u cudnt see my bedroom wallpaper due to all the posters i had,lol.also had me hair like him too ,the good old days .
Hehe, I was 12 or 13 at the time. Took this really serious...Brings back a lot of memories. Listened to this album over and over again for about a year - til ´Prince Charming´ came.
hi i see there are millions of YouTube comments but please Read anyway. I write original songs and sing , they are ruff but real, we are acoustic but will go electric for most songs Getting a fanbase is really difficult for artists and bands, still undiscovered by the big music labels, so it would really mean a lot to me if you could check out my channel and listen to my songs. If you could Llike' This Comment, that would be great too, so other people can see this comment thanks
I am only fifteen now and have just discovered Adam Ant. All my friends laugh but I think he is one of the most talented, fearless men ever. I love him.
@MrLlamachameleon I fell in love with Adam and the Ants when I was 14. I am 43 now and realize that much of the cultural appropriation was wrong. I still love the band, and him. Never will I stop. Hopefully you can get some really early B sides too. They were more punk rock. Ant Music for Ant People!
@MrLlamachameleon ..good for you , its good to hear that teenagers are listening to great music and not the horse shit you hear in the charts these days . if they laugh just tell them to get a life . like i said good on you :)
so long since i heard this. still as good as the day they made it. all kids 11-30 should be getting into this shit, it is the dogs bollocks. better than the shit on zzz factor
next you can find us hear love you des. what dose des maen for all us all we just dont know and now i me tring textig .. love to love to know her !__+++==== cant live in a nuclear zone ..

Again all this chatter about me, me, me, credit the band, their unique percussion. Most who look at this stuff should just stick a mirror on the screen or photos of themselves in the 80s, as that's all they're bothred about.
I saw these on the kings of the frontier tour, they were blinding but this album was so comercialised . anything after this album was shit....prince charming, goody two shoes ouch ouch!!!! Check out there early stuff like car trouble, young parizians, zerox machine.....dirk wears white socks LP......proper punk
@TheSilentMovieEra I think you`ll find the mighty Manchester United won the European Cup at Wembley in 1968 , thus becoming the first English winners of the European Cup,10 years before Liverpool won it at Wembley
My first single was also Stand & Deliver and my first album was Kings Of The Wild Frontier. I got his calendar for xmas every year, and I was able to see him live for the first time last Saturday in Liverpool. He is still a legend and always will be :)
I have been a fan of this band since I was four years old! The first music I owned was the "Stand and deliver" single. They ruled back then and they still rules !!! -Jack Sparrow would get his ass kick if he meet Adam Ant!
Is it just me.. is Adam Ant the first and true Capt. Jack Sparrow! He was ahead of his time and misunderstood...now people pay tons of money to see Johnny Depp dressed like Adam Ant. Every time I watch any of the"Pirates of Caribbean" films I am waiting to break out in song. It would be great to have Adam do a cameo or two! The guitar and drums sound fresh now as they when I was 12! Music has lost it's "Art"!
i'm so sad i'm not seeing him he is amazing! This guy is seriously such a babe! We need more musicians like him so we can overthrow all this crap we hear today
im seeing him in june and really cant wai,t feel like a kid at christmas. i was under 10 when he was at his highest but i was in love with him back then, god what i wouldnt do to him now!
Will be rocking out up front at one of his gigs in May!! Feel like a 12 year old girl again!!! Adam Ant is one of THE Pioneers of the 80s!!!! SSOOOOOO glad to see his triumphant return!!! :-D
@19danny im sure danny, stuart probably thought the same,i to have met him and found him fascinating,a true ambassodor for anyone suffering from depression
Ah.. Adam Ant.. very underappreciated today.. can't believe that we haven't heard any of his music sampled or revised today.. Black Eyed Peas I'm looking at you..
sorry, i posted somhin earlier, but you're my favourite band my perfect chrsitmas is hain an e and listening tae adam and the ants, hands down, darby crasy said the same
fucking yes, i fucking love this band, just bought kings of the wild frontier album, yi canae best it, the band know gid music cause they obviously dig punk, but the proper fans are still listening
@tommat00 Adam's jacket was actually worn by the actor David Hemmings in "Charge Of The Light Brigade " Adam got hold of it through the stylist Dave Whiteing, the look was actually inspired by the line " new royal family wild nobility ' like Adam was a noble savage, the jacket along with the Prince Charming clothes are now on permanent display at the V & A Theatre Museum in London.
I think I still have all his albums...somewhere. Mind you, they're on vinyl (and if they're where I think they are, they're probably vinyl sludge by now...CD's! I need CD's!)
The best song from a childhood hero. We were spoilt musically speaking back in the day. There doesn't seem to be a fraction of this original creativity in the charts.
I was an American who went to Germany for Six months in 1981 and I remember arriving in Germany and riding in the car from the airport to my new home for six months and hearing Adam and the Ants on the car radio for the first time and wondering who this was! I was an instant Fan! Was some Fantastic Music
Thanks so much for posting this! Adam Ant got me through high school. His music took me to amazing and interesting places, and really helped me deal with the hell that was high school. I adore him, always have, always will. I had an ant tattoo'd on my left earlobe 20-some ears ago in his honor, and I still have it.
He truly was a genius, a visionary, and quite possibly the most facially beautiful man who has ever lived (IMHO, lol).
So lovely to see him appreciated here! Ant Music Forever!! :)
Definite American Red Influence here. STUNNING TUNE!!! Haven't heard this for years. Brings back so many memories. SIMON COWEL, ARE YOU WATCHING, WITH YOUR MANUFACTURED RUBBISH. THIS WAS MUSIC!!!
this is an amazing song!! if it weren't for the movie "Marie Antoinette", i might have missed out. i love this song!!! this band true was very innovative!!!
Whilst Adam Ant was very popular in the early 80's, did we REALLY appreciate just how innovative & original he was? I think not. His music sounds just as good, if not better today than it did first time round. We need people like Adam Ant in the music business today, to bring back some style, class & originality, as opposed to the SImon Cowell manufactured, instantly forgettable garbage we have to tolerate now.
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I loved the sounds at the time but I certainly didn't appreciate what we had because I naively thought we'd always have good music. How could I have predicted the music scene becoming as bad as it is today?
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I so totally agree I was about 13 when this was out and although I loved it I didn't appreciate just how brilliant Adam was.....I look back on it now and i'm more in love with his music than ever...
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH Well put. For myself, I ignored Adam Ant back then (being into classic hard rock) but in retrospect, this is pretty good stuff - especially when compared, as you say, to the caterwauling cookie0cutter pop "divas" of the sort Simon Cowell hawks.
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I think there are a lot of people like that making music today, it's just unfortunate that (as you've said) we have big people at the top dictating what we see and hear, and thus the Adam Ants never get their hands on the money they need to produce and get out there.
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH Adam Ant’s originality in his music is totally out of doubt. He had some influences as every artists but his melodies were extremely original and personal, another romantic hero of the 80’s!!! I think he pretended to create some kind of tribe with Ant people or something like that but reality always ends with every dream, great artist and very original from the best times for lyrics and feelings!
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO agree! This is the only cassette that I completely wore out. Need to get his cd's. This must be wear I really loved the pirate look. He was so awesome!!
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I so agree. It was the only cassette that I completely wore out. Got to get them in cd form to finally replace it. Love this guy!!!! Must be where I really got into the pirate look. LOL!
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I still luv him today as much as then... waited 26 years for him to come on tour again and when he is in my home town I am gonna be in Spain.. major fail lol... he never got the credit he deserved for changing the music scene.. Antmusic for Sexpeople, Sexmusic for Antpeople 4eva x
I think I was eleven or twelve when I first heard his music and have been hooked ever since..that was almost 30 years ago..I cannot believe how timeless his music sounds today. It rivals any crap that is playing the alt stations today. Adam please get well and outshine Devo on their comeback PLEASE!
@dietcoke1z i agree. i was 14 and living in england when i first heard this album. magic. drove my parents mad with "that noise" lol. then they got into the charts and when my dad saw they're outfits he really got confused. lol
When I was a teen we used to drive around in an early 70's Ford Pinto my buddy used to borrow from his family, good times listening to AA on an 8 track or cassette, don't remember what that car had. Thanks for posting, brings back good memories!
im 32 and ave loved these guys since i was 4 and had there badges on my denim jacket at primary school in 82, got all there vinyl from young parisians too room at the top. and can only wish i could ave seen them live. love the rythmn.. please make a come back adam and marco!!!
Never a big fan but I have to admit that they did have a very unique sound for that time. Nothing else sounded quite like it and their image was really unusual as well. That whole Buccaneer thing wasn't around before Ant.
haha people were dressing like that a long time before hendrix - great song, great video, great band......and the drums, always sound amazing on every adam and the ants track
I saw these guys in Hartford Ct. in the early 80's after the Goody Two Shoes video came out and he had the horn section with him and they kicked ass ! I never saw a harder working frontman-singer, ever. His energy on stage was incredible, they had everyone on their feet dancing in place. He literally wore out the friggin audience ! I was exhausted after the show ! And I think the show maybe cost 20 $ back then !
@russell111 I believe that Malcom McClaren had a hand in the making of both Adam and the Ants and Bow Wow Wow and they both had the heavy african drum sound. I think Adam and the Ants came first but it was pretty close. Don't quote me. Great song! Thanks for the post.
"Kings of the Wild Frontier" is still a classic album, I would urge anyone to grab a copy, full of swagger and fun and damn good tunes. The band look cartoonish now but in 1980-1982 they were the hottest band in the UK (maybe only The Police were bigger) and were taken very seriously. The press was full of "would you let your daughter go out with Adam Ant" outrage, hard to believe now.

We need people like Adam Ant in the music business today, to bring back some style, class & originality, as opposed to the SImon Cowell manufactured, instantly forgettable garbage we have to tolerate now.

@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I loved the sounds at the time but I certainly didn't appreciate what we had because I naively thought we'd always have good music. How could I have predicted the music scene becoming as bad as it is today?

@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH Well put. For myself, I ignored Adam Ant back then (being into classic hard rock) but in retrospect, this is pretty good stuff - especially when compared, as you say, to the caterwauling cookie0cutter pop "divas" of the sort Simon Cowell hawks.

@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I think there are a lot of people like that making music today, it's just unfortunate that (as you've said) we have big people at the top dictating what we see and hear, and thus the Adam Ants never get their hands on the money they need to produce and get out there.

@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH Adam Ant’s originality in his music is totally out of doubt. He had some influences as every artists but his melodies were extremely original and personal, another romantic hero of the 80’s!!! I think he pretended to create some kind of tribe with Ant people or something like that but reality always ends with every dream, great artist and very original from the best times for lyrics and feelings!

I think I was eleven or twelve when I first heard his music and have been hooked ever since..that was almost 30 years ago..I cannot believe how timeless his music sounds today. It rivals any crap that is playing the alt stations today. Adam please get well and outshine Devo on their comeback PLEASE!

I loved a few of their songs and he tried to do something different and succeded for a while.
But, I don't think he's in a good place, or has dealt with the fact that he's not up there still..

Never a big fan but I have to admit that they did have a very unique sound for that time. Nothing else sounded quite like it and their image was really unusual as well. That whole Buccaneer thing wasn't around before Ant.

I saw these guys in Hartford Ct. in the early 80's after the Goody Two Shoes video came out and he had the horn section with him and they kicked ass ! I never saw a harder working frontman-singer, ever. His energy on stage was incredible, they had everyone on their feet dancing in place. He literally wore out the friggin audience ! I was exhausted after the show ! And I think the show maybe cost 20 $ back then !

@russell111 I believe that Malcom McClaren had a hand in the making of both Adam and the Ants and Bow Wow Wow and they both had the heavy african drum sound. I think Adam and the Ants came first but it was pretty close. Don't quote me. Great song! Thanks for the post.
