i'm a really big fan of Adam Ant's but i feel its a shame he never took off here in the U.S..he did have 3 hits here Goody Two Shoes,Strip & Room At Top (produced by Andre Cymone) but he had many more in England...a few years back i bought an Adam Ant video collection called "Antics in the Forbidden Zone" which was really good.....i always thought that Prince fans may also like Adam's music because it was different and ahead of its time..anybody else here dig Adam Ant?

I was a huge adam and the ants fan back in the days.

Man, I used to love Adam & The Ants growing up and still pull out the odd album occasionally.

Kings of the Wild Frontier was always the one for me. The title track is excellent and this album is well worth a listen!

I don't give props to many people, but I met Adam Ant on one of his small promo tours in the US. He was a VERY COOL PERSON. Took the time to chat with me and a friend for about 30min. at an afterparty. After my friend and I left the party and were walking through town. Adam's tour bus drove by us on his way out of town. He was up in front, so he saw us again and recognized. He gave us a big wave goodbye. A good man.

Look at him now!!

Didn't they find him under a bush with Margot Kidder?

I LOVE ADAM ANT. Have ALL his Music and 7"s like WHIP IN MY VALISE, Beat My GUEST Rarities, Cartrouble and DIRK WEARS WHITE SOX have his Tv Clips . Have Posters and Bandanas and Tee-shirts for his First Tour. I used to Dress like a PIRATE ... PRESS DARLINGS!!! Best Concert ADAM ANt at THE OLD PALLADIUM>>>>

Yeah. Adam & the Antz were great. I was feeling sentimental a couple of years back and bought 'Antbox'. 66 tracks that brought back a lot of memories. Great times.

was only kidding with my post...

yes he was great. Not big on the goody two shoes...but Strip and Any Music and Ant Rap...

My favorites are Stand and Deliver and Desperate but not serious...oooh I need to hear that now.

didnt adam ant go to a rehab or something from due to his bipolar? i heard something weird like that happened but i forget what exactly.

I like Adam Ant and I LOVE the look he had.

I mentioned on the glam thread last week that P bit off of Adam. Not only Adam's look, but Adam's videos as well. "Goody Two Shoes" video was a blueprint for the "Automatic" video.

Dirk wears white socks.

Agreed. You hit it right on the nail. He did in fact have the Edwardian look going before P. I used to think that he was real sexy back in the day and loved his videos. My favorite songs by his were Desperate But Not Serious and Goody 2 Shoes.

ANTPEOPLE ARE THE WARRIORS!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

i really like "Ant Music" and "Desperate But Not Serious"!

don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? subtle innuendos follow, it must be something inside!

goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes!

Love him

i love YOURS YOURS YOURS. one of my favorite new wave tracks.

I love Adam Ant. Great music and he was quite hot.

I hope he's doing better these days. He'd gone through some rough times in recent years.

very good
