Me! Adam Ant Rocks! Prince charming is the shit!

Did u read the thread. Anyway, Gary's tracks are very percussive, and i think Adam used that as a basis for his early records.


Listen to "do u wanna touch me"? Its still a bit glam, but it sounds like a adam ant song.

thesexofit said:

yea, this sound like King of The Wild Frontier, I was gonna say so, but Gary Glitter is so

oops i guess my fingers were working faster than my mind.

Well, thats why i changed the thread title. I think people would like this as i know theres a few adam ant fans on here. All u need is his greatest hits, and yeah, songs like "do u wana touch me" have an ironic twist, BUT, on their own, they are very good pop songs. Shame about the man, but hey, Jacko is or could well be a sicko, but people still love him. Give the guys music a chance.

Gary was corny, but he did have some good songs.

lilgish said:

Gary was not corny really, as he himself was deliberately poking fun at all that glam stuff that was around then. Look at his outfit LOL And yes, a ballad like "I love u love....." is very corny, but also, very catchy.

Anyway, Gary was not big in the US was he? No offence to the USA, but USA wouldn't of "got him" LOL

Gary Glitter is a perv. Bleh.

I dig Joan Jett's "Touch".

Joans version is lacking the cool percussion, and the trashy guitars scream her other hit "i love rock n roll". I dont like it. She just shouts

the only adam ant i could dig was b-side babies,i enjoyed the story thought from what i read once in a magazine,well apperently as the story goes junkie johnny rotten was playing with the pistols,mister ant was in the audience digging the show, ant then apprently saw junkie nancy and told her if johnny wanted bass lesson,that he will be glad to give him some,to which junkie nancy goes on and tells her junkie boyfriend that adam ant was calling him a bad punk bassist,to which then johnny finds adam sleeping in his dressing room,and then starts to beat the shit out of ant..

johnny is a tosser. A funny one mind u.


Anyway, this is about gary glitter.

weepingwall said:

I think you mean junkie Sid Vicious... Sid was going out with Nancy Spungen. I don't think Johnny Rotten took drugs. Watch out for the lawsuits

Xagain said:

He's not only a perv, he's a convicted paedophile. He lures little children in and has intercourse with them. He then moves to foreign countries and tricks vulnerable kids into having sex with him.

The guy is a disgusting waste of air.

How anyone can even praise anything this man's done - whether simply music or not - is beyond me.

The only sound I ever want to hear associated with this animal is the sound of his bollocks being sliced off to the roar of a crowd.

Just like Michael Jackson then. Billy Preston had a reputation too.

Doesn't make their music any less enjoyable, like Gary's. They're odious people though.

I absolutely could not agree with your more. Gary Glitter is a repugnant slug of a human being, BUT I'm afraid, those four songs Mr Sexytits highlighted are undeniably and very unfortunately - given the source - brilliant. Not that I'd buy them or play them or even singalong to them in the deepest merriest alcoholic haze.

I hated him for that awful early 90s revival that was inescapable.

I hated him for the NOW obvious reason he was a complete cunt and refused the "This Is Your Life" honour from Michael Aspel live on stage - too afraid people might dig up too much of your past??

I hate him for smirking through his second trial before the verdict was read.

I love his music.... can't say much for him though unfortunately

Mong said:

Oh, I think it totally does. It obviously depends on the severity of their actions, but to me it means a big deal. Thankfully, Glitter was NO GENIUS at any stage of his career and everything he's done I consider shit.

Still, if one of my favourite artists was convicted with the stuff he'd DONE I would make a point of not declaring my undying love for their work. I'd feel bad to actually congratulate or praise them in anyway - irrespective of whether the music has anything to do with their paedophilia.

Being a paedophile is an unforgivable sin in my book. I hope Glitter rots, and all the Glitter CD's that have been pressed over the years get compressed and shoved up his arse.

Shit artist, shitter human being.
