Adam & The Ants - 'Kings of the Wild Fronteir' on TotP

Nice and tribal.

I do not claim credit for this, because I deserve none. Credit goes to http://www.miceinfreefall.com. I hope they don't mind me putting it up on YouTube -- it's just that there aren't many Adam Ant vids on this site, and I want to make it easier for Adam Ant fans to scourge through vids, because I sure had a hard time, in the beginning at least!

you can see the drummers playing but you cant hear them. Did totp film a silent video then add the music in?

[backinburntcity]

@jaggass TOTP always used to have their performers lip-synch.

This ain't a hate comment cos I love Adam and the ants, but I'm sure their miming. it sounds a tad too much like the cd version I have...

[backinburntcity]

@BringMeSunshine31 No hate, they ARE miming. A common practise on Top of the Pops in the 80's.

Brilliant. First album I ever bought. I guess it's about time that Lady Blah Blah butchered and sampled the fuck out of this for our latest generation of automatons.

[Dirlandas]

Brilliant performance. Shame the comments below do not justify the man or his music.

Grow up people.

I know it was common to mime on the 80's Top Of The Pops, but I have heard Adam sing live a few months back, and he can actually sing live. Not like some artists now who sound great on an album but cannot sing in real life.

i have yet to hear another band that has such a brilliant tribal drumming sound, the band has always been awsome.

@backinburntcity He also broke down a door with a shovel to sleep with his trousers down in a basement.

At least _that_ was a one-time incident, which he regrets (iirc).

The Melvins like KISS. KISS makes me cry and laugh at the same time.

Musically abysmal, everything else about them is hilarious.

I can still like Melvins and want KISS to _stop_.

@backinburntcity I hated the overall sound (the sum of the parts) that I heard that I actually woke up early, drove 5 miles out of my way, and punched my friend because it popped up in his Last.fm stream.

This is a fact. Very visceral "OH GOD NO!" reaction to everything about it.

I have disco music.

I have techno music.

I have music by weirdos. I have 1500 hours of nearly any genre. her music makes me want to shove spoons into my ears. I leave stores over it.

Fingernails on blackboard.

@TheGzeus --But to each their own. Adam Ant himself is a fan of Lady Gaga.

[backinburntcity]

@TheGzeus I suggest you listen to more than 15 seconds, because in my opinion her strength is in her melodies (which she does write herself).

[TheGzeus]

@backinburntcity I've heard a total of 15 seconds of Lady Gaga. It's enough to wish she was working in a burger house in lieu of making music.
