Saw Adam and the Ants in 1981 in LA when I was 17,still probably one best shows I've ever seen!!!!

The thought of owning a Hussars jacket. Kept me awake at night.

The correct title of the song is Kings Of The Wild Frontier.

The correct title of this song is "Kings of the Wild Frontier" Saw him on April 16th in Dallas, Texas

I absolutely love Adam and the Ants. Adam Ant started playing live again around 2011 and he is absolutely on form! You must go see him when all this madness is over. He had to postpone an American tour because of COVID. I’m pretty sure he will be picking up the tour where he left off. I was 12 years old when Adam and the Ants burst onto our screens in the uk in 1981. I was caught hook line and sinker! Huge fan ever since! I even have my own blue Hussars jacket and we all still dress up to go see him live! If you hang around the merchandise counter it’s like being in a group of extras for pirates of the Caribbean 😂😅🤣. Happy memories x

Such a cool image and style and sound

H i Cat. The famous drum sound of the band actually came from a demo tape of some East African drummers ( known as the Burundi drummers ) given to Stuart Goddard ( Adam ) by their manager Malcolm Mclaren ( of Sex Pistols fame ) as the group were looking for inspiration and musical direction at the time. The boys in the band liked the sound , adapted it, and the rest is history !!! keep the great music coming.

I was 22 when I picked up the 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' album in 1980, so the appeal of the band at that time was obviously going somewhat beyond the young teenage audience they later courted (to great success, it must be said). Indicating the band's original darker side, the album came with a booklet replete with S&M imagery (!), and tracks such as the extraordinary - musically and lyrically - 'Killer In The Home.' It's a shame they're now largely remembered mainly for lightweight tracks such as 'Prince Charming' etc. By the way, I've been annoying my wife for years, owing to my habit of drumming the intro to this song on the dashboard of her car, whenever I'm sitting in the passenger seat.

Hi Cat, Just stumbled across your channel and I have to say you have a really good taste in Music, As a 70,s child growing up in North East England these songs take me back, I was a massive fan of the Antz and as previous comments have stated this track is actually called 'Kings of the wild frontier' I look forward to watching more of your channel.

Stumbled across this. What a gorgeous smile! All the best from the UK ! And subscribed 👍👍

My first reaction when they came out was a Paul Revere & the Raiders reboot, only in Adam's unique style, the colonial uniforms and the stage antics. All in good fun!.

Nice one Cat! Dog Eat Dog is as good, the double drums nail it! I was big on Adam and the Ants as a kid, I had a cluster of Ant badges on my Harrington jacket, one of them said 'Adam and the Ants for sex people'...I didn't know what it meant then and to be honest, I'm struggling with it to this day! Good stuff!

If you haven't seen it I'd recommend checking out the TV Movie "Worried About The Boy" which is the story of early Boy George during the Blitz era. It's got little glimpses of the scene with Billy Idol, Spandau Ballet, Marilyn, Bow Wow Wow, Malcolm McClaren, David Bowie, Stephen Strange, Culture Club all in various scenes. It's pretty good and worth it for Freddy Fox's Marilyn if nothing else. It's not the happiest of films but it gives a real sense of that era. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4qrt8STf9GtabQ.html

Love Your Music Choices .Keep Them Coming. 5 Interesting Facts about Adam Ant. 1 He played in a pub Rock Band called Bazooka Joe who in 1975 where supported by The Sex Pistols who were playing their very first gig. A fight broke out between the 2 bands later on. 2 Marco Pironni played in Siouxsie and the Banshees very first concert With Sid Vicious in 1976. 3 Nine Inch Nail covered Physical And Played Live with Adam and Marco And performed Red Scab Beat my Guest and Physical. This Can be seen on You Tube. 4 Watch the 1981 Children's Royal Variety Performance on You Tube . In this Kevin Mooney the Bassist refuses to mime and ruins the show. He left after this. It is Epic. 5 Malcolm Mclaren was hired in 1979 to give the band some Artistic Advise. He advised the rest of the band minus Adam to form a new band called Bow Wow Wow so they all left him.

Won a dance contest to the song " Ant Music" in College..... God this makes me feel old...funny..

Ant Invasion is my favourite of his, he's still playing live and is due to play a festival in the UK in June, sadly his April/May US tour is cancelled due to the pandemic.

They were the band that recorded 'Dirk Wears White Sox'. When Adam approached Malcolm and asked him to manage them (for £1000) he received some great advice (to use the pirate/Red Indian style and Burundi drums) but he also had his band stolen by McLaren and that was the lineup that became Bow Wow Wow. In 1980, Adam formed the new Ants who were Marco Pirroni, Chris Hughes, Kevin Mooney and Terry Lee Miall. It was Kevin Mooney who was playing Bass at the Royal Variety Performance in 1981 and you can see Adam's displeasure at the end of it. Kevin was immediately replaced by Gary Tibbs.

I decided to write to Adam to say how upset I was and that I was his biggest fan EVER (haha. I was 12/13 at the time). I looked for the best hotel in the area and found the Royal Cornwall Hotel. I put my letter to him in an envelope with a letter to the hotel asking that if by any chance Adam was going to be staying here, would they please, please, please pass my letter to him. Lo and behold, a few months later I received an envelope in the post with the Royal Cornwalls logo embossed on it!!! I nervously opened it............ inside was a hand written letter from Adam!! I nearly choked!! He told me he was sorry I missed the show this time around and hoped to see me at a later one!!! He had started it with. Dear 'ANT'ony!!
