3:00–3:47 ... PING! (*Big beaming smile* ) How to be a superstar by just giggling. Adam is great here, but so are all three of them – Ian Charleson RIP. And Derek RIP.
i was pmsl when that man and Adam was stood ontop of the building and the man grabbed hold of his brace, adam was laughing then the man pinged it and Adam went "oh!" :L :L :L LOL
Adam's carrier reminds me of that song "your pretty face is going to hell". He had to make a choice between continuing being a musician or to become a model who sold music. He made the wrong one. Years later, his looks are gone but the music remains. The way he sounds, not the way he looked, are what people remember him for. He was such a good musician, he would have so much better if he had stayed one.
back when it wasn't utterly embarrassing to like the ants. some of the best shows i saw in london in 78/79 were the ants. too bad they went into the toilet after their first lp.
For all those Ants fans who felt betrayed by Kings of the wild frontier, spare a thought for the Scritti Politti fans upon hearing Cupid & Psyche 85. At least Dont be square be there sounded like it could have been off Dirk! In all honesty, it's hard to imagine a follow up to Dirk that could have come close. It said just about everything in one LP. The Pistols knew that following up Bollocks was an impossibility. Or I should say Lydon did and probably McLaren as well if truth be told.
If anyone is interested I'll be posting up four songs that were recorded sometime after Mark left this outfit. It's the only recording I have and it's on cassette so the quality isn't that great and was done in an eight track recording studio. I'll try to upload them over the next couple of days.
@ joko428 yeah thats the response i had joko... im a 20 year old who has no connection to the music and fads of my generation... ive always been more about punk.. weather it be 77 american hardcore.. anarcho.. oi! i enjoy all types.. but ive been getting more into 80s indie,newromantic and new wave.. and i came across this video.. my dads a huge adam ant fan.. and he always told me adam ant was a punk.. haha i never knew till i seen this.. he made slaughter and the dogs look like the buzzcocks..
If I'm not mistaken Adam went the New Romantic route for the success, since that was what he was after...And, I've seen him say he grew tired of that scene because it was fake and "elitist."
His role in Jubilee was a prophetic warning of what happens to pop stars, how right Jarman was. Adam lived that prophecy, so sad, so real, so justified.
Just for the music and shots of London @ that time, this film is priceless. The shitty, pretentious dialogue and crappy acting aside, it's worth watching.
'Punk' is about doing something different and Adam did just that in a time when everyone was doing the same thing and sounding the same and boring. That, in my opinion is 'real punk'...
This was 'Adam and the ants mark I'. Two years and two lineup changes before they became the new romantic band Adam and and the ants that had silly hits with songs like Prince Charming and Stand and Deliver. 'Adam and the ants mark I' were a punk band who played real punk music.
I don't know what all the hoopla that has been going on is about nor do I really care, I just know that this clip is ace. To see Adam younger and more raw is fantastic. I love it. I'm practicing how to roll my r's just like him.
It seems to me like Adam was just not focused in that that moment........He's a genuis-who knows what he's thinking.I'd give anything to be him back in the day-up-on stage at the Kings concert!@!
Apparently, the story goes that Adam simply got a fit of the giggles in what was supposed to be a serious scene in the film. But Adam being Adam, and probably on one of his lengthy Bi-Polar induced highs, simply got the giggles and no matter how many times they tried, he just burst out laughing. Derek Jarman actually thought it was more poignant that he showed such disdain for the serious monologue and left it in. Either way, it's a cracking scene from a great film.
Forget 'Adam being Adam' - more like he recognized the dialogue as the pretentious shit that it was and couldn't keep from snickering to himself at Jarman trying to 'preach' to his audience.
It's obvious Adam thought it was ridiculous - you can see him mouthing the crappy dialogue along with the other actor at 4:29. Jarman was trying to 'claim' the punk scene for some great art film cause of his and he just wound up making most of the people in the film look like twats. Adam the exception.
Seeing as Adam & The Ants pre date the Pistols by about 3 years, I'd say it was the other way around ;o) Adam was an influential part of the punk scene from it's very inception and Malcolm McLaren saw the potential early on. Thing was, Adam was too strong minded to bow to McLaren's svengali shenanigans and knew his own direction. In the end Mclaren had to steal the original Ants away from Adam (to form Bow Wow Wow) and preyed on talentless others (Rotten & Vicious) to get his way.
Actually, I believe Adam was heavily influenced by The Sex Pistols. He was at their first gig and that was the reason he formed the Ants. Well, that's what I heard... Sorry if I'm wrong.
Fuck me, you still here bangin' on about this ? You really must get a life and spend less time couped up in your darkened room. Arguing on the internet is like appearing on Big Brother. Even if you win, no one remembers you tomorrow. Now, run along little Goth boy....
Wow, with powers of deduction like that, you should join MI5 !!! Has playground name calling come back into fashion, or is it just because you're 12 ?
I suppose next you will be threatening to come round and "sort me out" in person, eh ? PMSL !
Off you trot, child. If you'd like some more rope, just ask ;o)
I have not been able to figuge out what the hell he says after "Don;t go sitting in the sun ..your new face might___________? Might what? Self distruct,melt,..I have listened to it so many times over the years and now I am into the ant music once again! YEAH! Anywho can someone PLEEEEEZE clear this up for me! Thanks :)
Grow up, nudity disgusting? What's under your clothes then? A NUDE BODY... unless you're made of clothes, in which case it's a marvel you are even able to USE a computer, what with your arms being made of cotton fabric...
Neither do I...I'm just saying that it's odd to call a film disgusting for containing scenes of nudity. Let's not fight though, I really shouldn't be telling people to grow up, it's not my place (I'm only 16 myself), so I apologize.
Well I haven't seen the full film so I'm not calling the full film discusting, I just meant from the bits I've seen. Yeah I don't want to fight neither and it's ok :)
I would consider what you call a "real antfan" to be someone who follows the band through all of their changes. It's not like it's a different singer, Adam did both those punk style songs, and his style changed quite a bit over the years. A fan is someone who sticks by the changes. And yes, I have both of those songs, as well as 'Dog Eat Dog' and 'Wonderful' for that matter.
@SavvyRose I totally disagree with you, do you mean that a fan has to stick by a band if the band starts to make a totally different type of music... so if Adam Ant joined a boy band i'd have to follow him or anyone else for that matter just because i'd be a fan of there earlier stuff. By all means if they changed their style of music and you happen to like it remain a fan and buy it, but why be a fan of something you don't enjoy? I used an extreme example but you see my point...
Ahh the perfect Ants, Adam Ant, Johnny Bivouac on guitar, Andy Warren on bass, and the great Dave Barbe on drums.... this line up was simply brilliant live .... then 2 years later silly Adam took Malcolm Mclarens advice too seriously, left the band and went sooo commercial it was ridiculous. Us original ant fans were too embarrased to look at the whole sorry shambles that was 'Wild frontier' onwards ....
actually malcom took the band away from adam, and made them into bowwowow. adam did take malcoms advice after that... which is why both adam and bow wow wow ended up copying a bit off of that burundi black single
OMG!!! This brings back memories. I love Jubilee! Had a copy once, on VHS, machine ate it. Great Film! Adam was great, as were Toyah Wilcox, Jordan and a host of others. Thanx for the memories!!! Karen / Lost Angel
Think you'll find it was the other way around, seeing as Sid was a talentless gobshite, who Adam pre-dated by a number of years. What tw@t would replace Glen Matlock, a feckin' ace bassist, with a scrawny junkie who had no idea how to play bass and relied on people like Adam, Matlock & Lemmy to teach him the basics ? I'll tell you...Malcolm McLaren, that's who. The 20th Century's greatest Magpie. Stealing from others and passing it off as his own.
oh yeah and the "if you go down on your knees" which is implicative to a sexual position and being that it was the devil talking to the person that made it more humorous I am guessing.
I think it was one of those "Had to be there" things. Adam seems to have been tickled about something, it may have to do with something that was said during the filming and possibly a blooper. But he is obviously giggling like a little school girl about something <3
Love everything about Adam Ant ! The original Ants, the old band, the new band, his solo career, his acting, his singing, himself... just everything !
At the time the film was made he was a punk. He kind of reinvented himself when he reinvented the Ants after the original line up was stolen by Malcolm McLaren for Bow Wow Wow. The clothes changed a fair bit over the years.
Cant claim 50 gigs but was none the less a dedicated Ant follower (more interested in looking like Andy Warren though, his hair much better than Phil Oakley) Still listen to all my old bootlegs and the Decda Demo. Jubile brill but not a patch on Scum.
did anyone else notice the subtle middle finger move after the bald guy gives them the title 'scum'? Listen for "another face on a cover" right there, adam flicks him off.
It's hilarious that Derek Jarman kept all this in the film even with Adam mocking the lines...he propbably though it was a great touch, Adam laughing at it all.
he's a very vital character though but all the same, the point of his character, is to be "dead" and uninterested in everything except of course the media which is why the most alive he ever seems is when he's playing in that clip
Thanks so much for this. :) I've been looking desperately for old Adam & The Ants stuff, as I'm a new fan and sort of trying to scramble up anything I can get my hands (...mouse pointer) on. I love when he falls backwards! And that old punk song style is something I want to hear more of.
Glad to provide! I'm a new fan as well. You can find some other stuff on the MySpace Adam and the Ants sites. A lot of the Ant fans on my page have links to some interesting stuff, as well!
i tried finding you on my space. used to follow the ants round this time saw them about 50 times. i have 2 different versions of zerox video plus footage from 77 that was to be included on the ants dvd in sept ,but as now been cancelled.johna bradford ants crew 77/80

actually malcom took the band away from adam, and made them into bowwowow. adam did take malcoms advice after that... which is why both adam and bow wow wow ended up copying a bit off of that burundi black single

hold up, but wasn't it that Malcolm took the band right from under him?

Adam Ant -- laughing at the horrible dialogue.
Also wondering, what the hell am I doing here when I could be getting it on with every 14 year old in the free world?

OMG!!! This brings back memories. I love Jubilee! Had a copy once, on VHS, machine ate it. Great Film! Adam was great, as were Toyah Wilcox, Jordan and a host of others. Thanx for the memories!!! Karen / Lost Angel

adam ant trying to be Johnnie Rotten...and totally failing

Think you'll find it was the other way around, seeing as Sid was a talentless gobshite, who Adam pre-dated by a number of years. What tw@t would replace Glen Matlock, a feckin' ace bassist, with a scrawny junkie who had no idea how to play bass and relied on people like Adam, Matlock & Lemmy to teach him the basics ? I'll tell you...Malcolm McLaren, that's who. The 20th Century's greatest Magpie. Stealing from others and passing it off as his own.

oh yeah and the "if you go down on your knees" which is implicative to a sexual position and being that it was the devil talking to the person that made it more humorous I am guessing.

sorry for being an idiot, but why is he laughing?
sexyseagull 4 years ago
I think it was one of those "Had to be there" things. Adam seems to have been tickled about something, it may have to do with something that was said during the filming and possibly a blooper. But he is obviously giggling like a little school girl about something <3
BodaciousHaHas 4 years ago
He's laughing at the wretched dialogue, the lousy acting and the ridiculous directing.

Oh come on now, this is back when Adam was cool...Before that wretched 90s crap...

Nobody else could have pulled off the fashion that Adam could.
even now he still has a keen sense of style. what an inspiring person.

Love everything about Adam Ant ! The original Ants, the old band, the new band, his solo career, his acting, his singing, himself... just everything !

favorite part of that movie is when Kid played by Adam watches himself on television and then licks and kisses the screen...oh MAMA

when did he start wearing clothes from the Elizabethan era? in this vid he's wearing punk clothes.
ftftwx 4 years ago
At the time the film was made he was a punk. He kind of reinvented himself when he reinvented the Ants after the original line up was stolen by Malcolm McLaren for Bow Wow Wow. The clothes changed a fair bit over the years.

Then again, I think Adam's music took an awesome twist or more through his solo career as well.

Cant claim 50 gigs but was none the less a dedicated Ant follower (more interested in looking like Andy Warren though, his hair much better than Phil Oakley) Still listen to all my old bootlegs and the Decda Demo. Jubile brill but not a patch on Scum.
bureboy 5 years ago
did anyone else notice the subtle middle finger move after the bald guy gives them the title 'scum'? Listen for "another face on a cover" right there, adam flicks him off.

It's hilarious that Derek Jarman kept all this in the film even with Adam mocking the lines...he propbably though it was a great touch, Adam laughing at it all.

The first time I saw this film I wonderd what Adam was laughing at...what the hell was so funny? :)

he's a very vital character though but all the same, the point of his character, is to be "dead" and uninterested in everything except of course the media which is why the most alive he ever seems is when he's playing in that clip

so does adam actually speak in this film?? p.s he looks sooooooo hot in this clip!!
Rachael8989 5 years ago
Yeah, he's got a couple lines through the movie. Not much, though, since it's a small part. Still worth watching.

Thanks so much for this. :) I've been looking desperately for old Adam & The Ants stuff, as I'm a new fan and sort of trying to scramble up anything I can get my hands (...mouse pointer) on. I love when he falls backwards! And that old punk song style is something I want to hear more of.

Glad to provide! I'm a new fan as well. You can find some other stuff on the MySpace Adam and the Ants sites. A lot of the Ant fans on my page have links to some interesting stuff, as well!
