I thought he was just "Adam Ant" not "Adam and the Ants"??


He's always been Adam Ant, but his original group was "Adam and the Ants". The Ants split to become Bow Wow Wow, and Adam then hired a new group (after that, he would simply be billed as "Adam Ant").

??? Was he gay? I don't think he was but some of his looks were pervy.


No, although he has dabbled in transvestism and done some experimentation. I used to date this insane Adam Ant fan, so I know waaaaayyy too much about him.

He went to a bar and was upset that someone made fun of his cowboy outfit by whistling The Good, Bad & Ugly. So he attacked them and threatened them with his fake 6 shooters

Actually there were two versions of Adam & the Ants.

There was the Bow Wow Wow lineup on Dirk Wears White Sox, then there was another lineup on Kings of the Wild Frontier and Prince Charming.

After that Adam broke up the Ants and took Marco (guitar player/songwriting partner) along for his solo career, beginning with Friend or Foe.

You're absolutely correct. I had forgotten the two Ant lineups thing.

Marco rocks, by the way!

Yep, he's the Keith to Adam's Mick.

And if you think Adam hasn't aged well (or Keith for that matter) check out a recent pic of Marco!

Well, your Keith analogy works for Marco in more ways than one! I haven't seen a pic of him recently, but he looked old back in the day! I can just imagine!

Yup! I remember quickly turning the TV when my parents walked in! Didn't want them to catch me watching something so explicit!

Those were the days... Madonna, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Prince, all that racy stuff that would be like nothing today next to some of the nasty stuff that has happened since. pout (yeah, partially thanks to Madonna & Prince themselves)

Oh, you simply MUST track down the Antics in the Forbidden Zone video collection. It's probably only available on VHS, but those vids are a hoot!

The aforementioned ex-girlfriend used to run these videos all the time. I can't even remotely tell you how many times I've seen the vids for "Ant Rap". "Puss in Boots" or "Stand & Deliver". She also had some concert video from the Prince Charming era that was quite entertaining.

They've been remastering the albums, and there's a DVD on the way called Digital Tenderness that probably has all the videos on it. I'll have to check it out.

On a related note, the remasters of Dirk Wears White Sox & Kings of the Wild Frontier might be different to Americans than the old records they had. Unbelievably, record companies were still changing the songs for American releases. I was shocked that Physical & Press Darlings weren't on the original "Kings" album.

I remember my girlfriend at the time had two different versions of DWWS. I was under the distinct impression that they were completely different recordings.

I had an import (English, that is) copy of it, so I never heard the American version of DWWS. I think it wasn't released in America until later. But my version of Kings was different than the remastered one.

I know some of the DWWS songs were completely re-recorded. There's several versions of Cartrouble. They're all on the remastered DWWS at the end.
