A great bunch of perormers. I think they 'sold out' in the Prince Charming era, but songs like this and 'Car Trouble', 'Deutsche Girls' and 'Physical (You're So'). I suppose by that time they'd had enough of being a cult band and wanted mainstream success. A certain amount of blame must fall upon the late Malcolm McClaren who convinced Mathew Ashman and co to join/form Bow Wow Wow. I mean, Bow wow Who?
Oh Adam. How can one man be so perfect? As I'll never love anybody more, I will probably grow to be a lonely old lady with dozens of cats, every one of them named Adam.
Does anyone out there actually have a copy of the DIGITAL TENDERNESS dvd? lets talk then! And this is fromk the Live In Japan/Tokyo vhs if you want to know.
Adam was an innovator, and far ahead of his time...this video is almost 30 years old !!..the bands unique sounds of killer double persussion and Marco's licks, with a dose of Ennio Morricone influences ROCK OUT!
hey people... please quit the bitch'n! Catching the video is so great...brings back so many memories and then we scroll down to find your dribble. it's a real downer. Just enjoy the show!!!
Your idea of manners is posting that sort of allegation without checking your facts? My post was merely clearing the record of a false allegation. Why did you delete your post? It was not very nice, yet you tell "me" to be tolerant & understanding (I'm not the one who was slamming him) & want to accuse me of calling names? Nice try :-)
Yes - I stand corrected- it's Pete Burns I was refering to.I may be delusional but I have manners- calling someone a name it's childish-what are you in your 20's?You'll do much better in life by being tolerant and understanding.What you dish to others can be dished back to you in larger amounts!So serve nice things-and you will receive nice things back.;-=)
Duh, I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life. Just merely making an observation about how high and mighty you were trying to sound...when obviously you're far from it. I think you need to get a life. 51 years old and you're dissing people half your age on youtube.

The Antz were the best until late 1980 when they remixed a commercial sounding Antmusic, then they bowed in front of the queen at the Royal variety Performance
i have ants in japan on video i bought it ex rental at my video store in the mid 80s the whole video is fantastic ive tried to transfer it to dvd.but it must have a block on it.but ill keep trying.
ummm...i don't think there will be a block on it seen as it came from a time when computers were extremly basic, dvd did not exsist, and the concept of being transfer to a vhs to a dvd was just a comic book fantasy...
Sad that Adam has not gotten the attention/acclaim as the ground breaker he was. He influenced tons of artists, but the general public knows him best for "Goody Two Shoes," one of the weakest songs in his catalog. But his early material, like "Kick" is up there with the best from that era.
Is it true Marco used to stay in his hotel room on tour and stare out the window? I also hear Marco would down two or three milkshakes before going on stage. Someone said Marco never rehearsed and songs would be worked out at the recording sessions. Are any of these Marco facts true?
dang that man can swivel his hips! i actually have this on a vhs tape from the 80's, taped it off tv, can't remember what channel but still have it and a few others things from adam
This is the song I made my dad learn so when he took myself and my best friend to the concert he could sing along to at least one. He was a great sport and got into the spirit of things.
i am going to hunt for my my picture of us at the concert. If I can find it I will post it.We area ll done up. Even got my dad to where an ant stripe and an hang a feather headdress. Sure wouldlove to do it all over again!!
@owzone1 thats sooo cool!!!! :) i would be in shock if i met him or seen him haha...
