...of their colonizers, and still endure to this day as what's left of their culture is being turned into cheap, tacky, offensive costumes for white, underweight, racist, hipster bitches, and then they turn around and say they do it out of respect. slap in the face.
wow this turned out being way longer than i thought it would. hope it made sense.
@pirsocau I think you got it the wrong way around. I always interpreted those lines as being Adam Ant expressing that he did not feel comfortable being white European and that underneath his external appearance there is a red Indian. Infact its not even interpretation. Thats what he says. Quite possibly someone with bipolar or aspergers wouldn't feel they belong to any group. A sense of being different to everybody.
and repeats what he feels underneath the white. i think the frantic nature of the song was meant to make the song sound... out of control. like they're doing something seriously wrong and they want the audience to know that. i'm sure i overread into this. i just couldn't let "I feel beneath the white There is a redskin suffering From centuries of taming" fly. that's there for a reason. it's a very concise and profound statement of the genocide native americans endured at the hands...
... not. it's genocide. the intro to the video creates a strong sense of tribalism between them. adam tells the audience he know how the white people stomped on the natives and all but erased their cultures, and proceeds to describe their course of action: he will be proud of his manner, no matter how mad it is. he revs up his family, boosts their pride, intimidates their enemies, and then shouts out their war cry. they repeat their battle strategy. and in the bridge, he finds a prisoner...
is it the drugs or am i listening to a song about conquering the americas and wiping out all the indigenous people who lived there with no method, just chaos. I feel beneath the white there is a redskin suffering from centuries of taming. redskin was a termed used to describe the natives, who saw their families, tribes, and cultural values and customs get stomped out by whiteness, they get sent to schools that totally whitewash their whole identity and culture. and term into something they're...
well, we enjoyed the music of the 80`s, we had a good time in the club dancing to their music, they make us all happy. Just chill out folks, if you don`t like their songs don`t listen, stop bad mouthing them, listen to chinese pop music hahahahaha!

Police, Bowie, Phill Collins, Tina Turner, Queen, AC DC, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Led Zeplin, Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd, Slade, Toad the Wet Sprocket,

You're another fucking bipolar moron, you don't even know your own mind, you stupid fuck. "Music" is no worse no than at any other time - you're only outing yourself as a dated and clueless bitch who doesn't know any of it so shut the fuck up and enjoy your eighties mixes you fucking waste piece.
@mrmakemagay y. The only backyard trailer trash is you. The only blinkered fool is you .. my argument was that there were literally hundreds of talented unique artists back then .. as opposed to a few ... any moron could follow that .. except you .. a unique talent in the field ... and you are obviously a redneck piece of trailer trash given your vocabulary style ...
@mrmakemagay .. IF I had said "all music sucks" you would be correct .. but since the statement is .. music sucks ....... but there are a few talented individuals ... the statement is exactly that .. only a complete 100% retarded moron without the capability of analytical thought and logical reasoning could fail to understand the point being made. What a fool you look ... exactly who are the great bands today that rank alongside U2, AC DC, Queen, Kiss, Slade, Dire Straits, Jam, The Who, CCR?
@dhenbhoy You're a fucking backward bitch, obviously, who doesn't even understand what they've said, which was, let me remind you "music now sucks" - as an absolute and without the pathetic attempt at qualification you made after the event. The implication is clearly made via context making "all" redundant. If you don't like what you said, maybe you should try not to be a backward bitch in the first place.
That you don't who the great bands are just means you're also a fucking clueless bitch.
Even Frankie goes to Hollywood ... Pet Shop Boys (none of these are my favs) but they were unique and had their own style .. not roll them off the production line clones or copy cats .. We had Madonna, Blondie, Tina, Toyah, Annie Lennox, Stevie Nicks, Sinead O' Connor, Bruce Springsteen, and a lot of these stars can still pull bigger crowds than bands of today .. AC/DC will still pack out anywhere they play ... so go back to whatever public toilet it is that you hang out at ...
@mrmakemagay No need to swear child, I'm also from England. Does swearing on the internet make you gain self esteem? Think you need to chill out and realize your opinions on this are worthless, it's the internet, don't expect nothing.
@hearoth00 Now you need to fuck yourself and spare me your daytime tv amateur profiling, you stupid bitch - it was so fucking banal and terrifyingly simplistic I almost shit down one trouser leg out of sheer boredom reading it, as my body thought I had gone into a fucking vegetative state.
Furthermore, I think you need to go and take your own fucking simpleton advice and also stab yourself repeatedly in the face while you're at it, so as to extract the full benefit. Piss off.
@hearoth00 "Usually" self-evidently implies that "up" need not always be the case. With that, you've answered your own question - which was redundant in the first place. You are backward - more fail, fail harder.
And by the way,I was around "back then" and I don't remember saying a damn thing about music being "better years ago." Actually quite the opposite! Music was coming to some really great new crossroads and was very new and exciting.
@itbitkitty I didn't mind plunking down the money for an album that I had only heard one song on because I knew that chances where, I would love the whole album! Unlike today where it is rare for me to enjoy more then one or two songs on an album, the rest usually winds up being spoon feed corporate "we will tell you what you like" shit.
Whether you call it punk or new wave or post punk or just rock n roll Adam and the Ants = great. Punk rock? Sock puppets? Watch the video on my channel.
ace band, love 'em. I noticed that some of adam's dancing and body/facial gestures around the 1:00 and 2:00 mark are a bit like keith flint in firestarter. DId Adam inspire keith as well as johnny depp !? lol Adam. Genius. Flamboyant new romantic new wave post punk rock performer. I even had my face painted with a white stripe when I was a kid of 9
Adam is playing at UEA in December, last saw hi at Runton Pavilion31 years ago,wonder what the comparison will be. God where can I get a pair of 36 inch PVC trousers from now!!??
he was my absolute fantasy when I was in college.........oh my God in Heaven he still elicits extreme emotions in me now........and I am 49!!!!! I willl NEVER forget him kissing my cheek Nov 82 when I was 20 years old
The thing that messed up Adam was that they (record company) were trying to mass market him and he had to cope with making big bubblegum pop songs later in his career around 1983 and later to afford big production and big venue tours. He should have told management to piss off and stay a small semi underground cult act. Playing a handful of small to medium stage acts.
baby devil here,, darling i hope it was my parents and not me, who made you feel like that.. alabaster is perfection,, a perfect shade.. passion was not to be had, raised to strict.. my eyes never set on anything the likes of you.. p.s you said i was wearing your testicules for earrings,, know you know it me LOVE,, you were right my name did not suit me,, you do
@Kowakianmonkeylizard There is a lovely comment somewhere on youtube that goes like this...."Johnny Depp and Russell Brand, he was your Daddy"...made me howl. You are right!!
@Kowakianmonkeylizard I meant Adam looks like a 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' type NOW, not back in 1980 or whatever! Now, Adam is wearing a pirate hat and this fake-looking moustache and soul patch situation.
@KeravaKook I suppose it received those votes because the word 'wannabe' is usually a negative term used for people who imitate others. Naturally that's going to piss fans off a little
@jrmetmoi well you fucking idiot seeing this is 30 fucking years before pirates you wanker seems to me pirates would be an adam ant wannabe....no fucking idiot....
Watching this video reminds why I had such a bad crush on Adam Ant which started at about age 14....he's still sexy as hell and gettin' this old mama a little hot and bothered! lol
@EgoShredder , music videos had been introduced way back in 1975 with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, which it could be argued kick-started the video age. After that, and at the start of the 80s, bands were certainly producing promotional videos to go along with their music. Kings of the Wild Frontier was 1981 and the video age was coming into its prime, which continued throughout the 80s.
Damn, I wish I could have been around when these guys were in their prime... Not in this period of sucky auto tuned brain dead junk being flung at us.
I saw them 4 times in 1980 and '81 at the Brighton centre,I even had the same jacket , make up and all- they're some of my best memories of my teenage years!
Just saw adam and the ants at Cambridge last night - utterly awesome. I last saw him 30 years ago when I was 15 - nothing had changed. Still hot as hell.
Thank you for posting this! I don't think we got to see this here in the states. Love the rawness of it. Adam has been my number one musical artist since the 80's. I like others, but his music will always mean the most to me.
I hate how the British Press label him as a "Has Been". Adam and The Ants were and still are on of the best pop bands to come out in the eighties. The songs he and Marco produced are classic.
@kanumbra I feel your pain :( I'm only 17 but Adam Ant is my all time favourite artist, I'd give anything to have been around when he was in his prime..
This is real music, not the shitty regurgitated, mindless, auto-tuned, drivel that pop 'artists' are spewing out nowadays. Oh music, what happened to you?? </3 :'(
@xLittleMissMorphinex Don't know if you know more about underground music in the veins of gothic, ebm, electro-goth, darkwave and sorts... but forget Mtv, do some research ;)
@xLittleMissMorphinex shut your pie hole. i was pointing out to you that back when adam ant was in his prime, there were people saying the exact same shit "about music was better years ago" that you just said as there is always some idiot bitch saying that predictable shit. so maybe YOU should learn to read and then jump off a cliff.
@mrmakemagay so let me get this straight: you're calling me a clueless bitch for being upset about the fact that music has become utter crap? ok fine maybe I should say something along the lines of 'lol tis is gud but justin bEibers soooo much BettEr lol old music sux lmao!' would you be satisfied then? Christ you really will take any opportunity to shit all over other people on the internet huh?
@xLittleMissMorphinex Don't even bother hon, anyone that cannot come up with anything more original themselves then to call someone a "bitch" and tell them to "shut their pie hole" doesn't rate a response.
@xLittleMissMorphinex Oh, you really are clueless. Let me break it all the way down: I'm calling you a clueless bitch because you don't seem to appreciate that the same whiny and trite shit you posted has been said every year, about some previous decade, by some equally clueless bitch, for as long as there has been any kind of music on Earth. For some moron, it is always "better before" - and that position is as invalid today as it was 100 years ago or will be in 100 years time. Now shut it.
@mrmakemagay Yes I got that. My point was; yes, people do keep saying it, but it doesn't make it wrong. Today's 'music' (e.g Justin Bieber) couldn't compare to artists like Adam ant! Your argument can be rebuffed with things I already said. Either your debating technique is hitting your opponent over the head with your opening point over and over again until they give up, or you need to rebut my points in a reasonable way that brings something new to the table. Or better yet: piss off.
@xLittleMissMorphinex Haha, if you got that, how come you immediately demonstrate that you haven't understood it? The answer is you're either a fucking liar, or a genuine fucking moron - the point being that the comparison is INVALID and an attempt to do so is futile as the matter is subjective. The fact that you selectively use Beiber as an example of "todays music" is just more evidence of the weakness of your position and your overall backwardness. In summary: you're a fucking stupid slut.
I remember watching this VHS in the living room when I was 5. Now that it's on Youtube 20 years later, it makes it even better. This VHS tape was like the album just every song was a music video, epic. I think only Iron Maiden did that at the time...
Showaddywaddy and the Glitter Band were cool! They made heavy drums cool.

Adam Ant right now strangely enough looks like a 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' type Johnny Depp wannabe

@Kowakianmonkeylizard I meant Adam looks like a 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' type NOW, not back in 1980 or whatever! Now, Adam is wearing a pirate hat and this fake-looking moustache and soul patch situation.

Really? Just goes to show how many morons there are on YouTube, eh?
This comment is *NOT* saying that Adam Ant *IS* a PotC wannabe. at ALL, merely that he looks - ***strangely enough*** - LIKE one.
Fucking idiots, the lot of you.

@KeravaKook I suppose it received those votes because the word 'wannabe' is usually a negative term used for people who imitate others. Naturally that's going to piss fans off a little

Watching this video reminds why I had such a bad crush on Adam Ant which started at about age 14....he's still sexy as hell and gettin' this old mama a little hot and bothered! lol

@EgoShredder , music videos had been introduced way back in 1975 with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, which it could be argued kick-started the video age. After that, and at the start of the 80s, bands were certainly producing promotional videos to go along with their music. Kings of the Wild Frontier was 1981 and the video age was coming into its prime, which continued throughout the 80s.

Thank you for posting this! I don't think we got to see this here in the states. Love the rawness of it. Adam has been my number one musical artist since the 80's. I like others, but his music will always mean the most to me.

I hate how the British Press label him as a "Has Been". Adam and The Ants were and still are on of the best pop bands to come out in the eighties. The songs he and Marco produced are classic.

@kanumbra I feel your pain :( I'm only 17 but Adam Ant is my all time favourite artist, I'd give anything to have been around when he was in his prime..
This is real music, not the shitty regurgitated, mindless, auto-tuned, drivel that pop 'artists' are spewing out nowadays. Oh music, what happened to you?? </3 :'(

@xLittleMissMorphinex shut your pie hole. i was pointing out to you that back when adam ant was in his prime, there were people saying the exact same shit "about music was better years ago" that you just said as there is always some idiot bitch saying that predictable shit. so maybe YOU should learn to read and then jump off a cliff.
mrmakemagay 3 months ago
@mrmakemagay so let me get this straight: you're calling me a clueless bitch for being upset about the fact that music has become utter crap? ok fine maybe I should say something along the lines of 'lol tis is gud but justin bEibers soooo much BettEr lol old music sux lmao!' would you be satisfied then? Christ you really will take any opportunity to shit all over other people on the internet huh?

@xLittleMissMorphinex Don't even bother hon, anyone that cannot come up with anything more original themselves then to call someone a "bitch" and tell them to "shut their pie hole" doesn't rate a response.
itbitkitty 3 months ago
@xLittleMissMorphinex Oh, you really are clueless. Let me break it all the way down: I'm calling you a clueless bitch because you don't seem to appreciate that the same whiny and trite shit you posted has been said every year, about some previous decade, by some equally clueless bitch, for as long as there has been any kind of music on Earth. For some moron, it is always "better before" - and that position is as invalid today as it was 100 years ago or will be in 100 years time. Now shut it.

hearoth00 3 months ago
@mrmakemagay Yes I got that. My point was; yes, people do keep saying it, but it doesn't make it wrong. Today's 'music' (e.g Justin Bieber) couldn't compare to artists like Adam ant! Your argument can be rebuffed with things I already said. Either your debating technique is hitting your opponent over the head with your opening point over and over again until they give up, or you need to rebut my points in a reasonable way that brings something new to the table. Or better yet: piss off.
xLittleMissMorphinex 3 months ago
@xLittleMissMorphinex Haha, if you got that, how come you immediately demonstrate that you haven't understood it? The answer is you're either a fucking liar, or a genuine fucking moron - the point being that the comparison is INVALID and an attempt to do so is futile as the matter is subjective. The fact that you selectively use Beiber as an example of "todays music" is just more evidence of the weakness of your position and your overall backwardness. In summary: you're a fucking stupid slut.
