S...
I was in the US Air Force in England when he got big.
We all loved him. He was a force to be reckoned with.
Seriously, the guy created his own genre of music.
I'm glad he's still kickin.
It's a tough biz, he's been bravely dealing with mental illness issues and doing a great job of it.
He was a handsome devil too, lucky bastard.
Saw him March 95 and the two drum kits, I can still feel them in my chest!😻🇬🇧😹
I love how sweet he was to everyone. His persona on stage is so intense compared to his off stage personality
He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, during his hay days he was manic and would crash after performing, he has always admitted to struggling with his mental health issues, and wrote about it in his biography.
I was so in love with him when I was 10/11! I stopped him in the street a few years ago and told him! 😆 Saw him in concert ‘81 and again 5 yrs ago at the Roundhouse. I don’t think he gets enough recognition for how trailblazing he actually was.

How nice that you got to tell him! Do you remember how he responded to that?
@@Chiromanic Hi, he was just very shy and humble! He had headphones on and said he was listening to some new music he was working on. He said it was nice to meet me and that was that. When he said my name I thought gosh, I would have fainted as a kid to hear that! Lol
@@yasminm7157 Ha! That’s so sweet! I wish I could have met him! I’m a long time fan!
@@Chiromanic Maybe you still can…..never too late! x
What a sweet guy.
I love Adam and the Ants so much. This is amazing footage that I have ever seen. Xx love 💕 you Adam.xx
So beautiful and kind. Love him.

Wow! Even in the 80’s when he was at the height of his fame, he was so polite and gracious to everyone.

@@SlapdashEden I'll watch that.... After this!! Kx
Pirates of the Caribbean producers should be paying Adam royalties.
I uploaded a better quality version here - ruclips.net/video/rAWpvkoT-ik/видео.html
I said that too. He was pirates of the Caribbean long before Johnny Depp ever got the part!🤫
Nonsense. Pirates of the Caribbean has been around since 1967!!!
Adam didn’t invent the look or the clothes.
@@deletebilderberg Eh?
Adam was Johnny Depp before Johnny was! "Technology can make you look better than you really are." how true those words are in today's world!
Aww he's such a sweetheart.
More down to earth and real than the so called celebs these days .
My wife and I saw Adam Ant last September in Milwaukee. I have been waiting to see him since the 1980's and he did NOT let us down! He played for WELL OVER two hours,and I even got an autographed photo! If you are a fan,and have never seen him LIVE...I HIGHLY recommend it!
tonycornflakes I see him when I was about 10, twice in my hometown, Brighton England. Probably 81/82. Glad he's doing well again. Hope his mental health is better. Genuinely nice man from what I've seen & heard about him.
@@DMWBN3 was it on his birthday? If so we were both at the same concert in Brighton. I was 14 I think.
Elaine Davies well what a small world we live in. I'm born & bred Brighton, although Hove most of my days. I'm born November & not aware of his birthday , sure concert was around same time. 👍🏼👍🏼

I agree, (: I have to see him live before I die!
The Yellow Rose of Texas on a vintage Seiko....... WOW childhood flashbacks.
What a gorgeous guy in looks and personality... I feel honoured to have seen him live last month, massive fan, certainly one of my life highlights
I saw Adam at the Brixton Academy in London 3 weeks ago.... The first time I had ever seen him and he was wonderful
I see him when he played Brighton at the height of his fame., both times. I was probably about 10/11. Seem to remember I got the tickets for my birthday & concerts were near my birthday in November. 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad to hear he's ok.
@@DMWBN3 Ah it was probably the same concert. November the 3rd. He might have been there for two nights. Can’t remember. I saw him again in 2015 at my local small music festival.

Adam is just so lovely to everyone, so polite and gracious and Diana was so beautiful and lovely too. Uggh my heart can't take it ❤
Comments removed pertaining an incident relating to someone’s health issues
Sold a pair of vintage Levi's to him from my stall at goodwood's revival, he was a lovely polite gracious guy,no problem with my girlfriends/staff wanting their pictures taken with him.

Cool! ...& glad to hear he was kind & gracious in the interactions!
“Don’t drink don’t smoke what do you do” I love that about him. Not many like that. He exudes natural positive energy. Lovely man.
He made awsome music. That was enough.
Unfortunately he does both now, but you can’t have everything. He’s still pretty perfect.
You are very kind, I'm also a fan of his music, and his attributes have included positivity. But that was just a song lyric, and the singer character was implying he does do those things and was bewildered by someone else who doesn't. It's not like if Adam Ant in real life did a PSA telling fans "Don't drink or smoke, whatever you do." Personally I try to naturally be positive, I've never smoked or drank and I don't care if subtle innuendoes follow me. Stay safe. :-)
Boy George denied he did drugs in the midst of his heroin addiction

We need Adam Ant, The Musical, about his life.
Id be watching it ❤
I love that Adam is so courteous and polite to everyone while everyone fights out their importance and dominance issues. Long live ant music. Long live antpeople.
yes I was born in the 80s but had older cousins and brothers who were 80s....and introduced me to the ants....love seeing this...

@RACHEL LAWRENCE bipolar is a serious mental illness. He has had numerous admissions to psychiatric hospitals over the years.
Hes always been such a nice easy going guy. He hasnt let the fame go to his head. One of the nicest musicians around nature wise and a great performer.
And the music is great too.

People don't realise this guy was a massive superstar back in the day. Glad he faced his mental illness demons and made other people open up about theirs. Hero.👍👍
Adam Ant is a true musical genius he created his own sound, he is was a true pirate he suited it and he looked killer, deadly and great music, it all worked too bad he had manic depression, it really suck's
he did have a few bad moments of confusion it happens to all in their own way but he recovered and dealt with it. Pray for him?

@@SlapdashEden cheers!! ❤️
He is so effortlessly beautiful and sweet , a gorgeous guy! Choosing Diana Dors to play the fairy godmother is a beautiful touch , she dies 3 years later bless her .
She was such a wonderful person herself. The two of them together. So brilliant.

Her real name is Diana Mary Fluck. "They asked me to change my name. I suppose they were afraid that if my real name Diana Fluck was in lights and one of the lights blew ...".
@@hellboundrubber4448 That is so funny ! xxx
He never got enough credit for what he was writing about in his songs; be yourself, no matter your sexuality, colour, background. Just be yourself. He was saying it all forty-odd years ago.
I was a little Ant Person - even though I was ten! :-)

Didn't know he did all this, knew he and his bandmate wrote the songs, but add storyboards and stunts, sets and costumes with dancing, singing. He and his band are pretty brilliant. Definitely once in a lifetime talent. Not nearly enough footage like this back when I was 12 and hearing about them for the first time in the states....so this is nice to see.
So cute, this guy is. Hard to believe people thought Sting was more attractive than him. No way!✌️
Hear hear!! Personally I don't think Sting is at all attractive!! But I've always preferred a dark haired bloke!! Lucky me for eventually marrying my own dark haired (part-Spanish) pirate!!
Wow! Adam Ant was cute. I love his song "Goody Two Shoes."
Diana Doris was a beautiful lady back in the day, and even in her later years, evern in this video she,s a stunner, a good looking woman who put a little bit of extra size on in her later days, which only added to her beauty,

Dors.
@@hardlines2635 i,m really sorry i did,nt notice, till i read it back some time later, i know its bad, i should have shown some respect, but then again she was,nt the type of star that would play up over a little mistake, unlike most of today's stars that would try to get me band from RUclips, for this disrespectful behaviour, anyway lesson learnt, but i can not guarantee it won,t happen again as i,m quite 'fick', sorry.
@@darrenmorgan870I remember her on the two Ronnies when they did the sketch about women taking over the world.
He is sooooo polite.....still love and listen to his music ❤️❤️
I have loved him since I was a kid, and I have always admired him for his down-to-earth mentality.
Totally in love with this man when I was 15. Beautiful soul. My first son is named Adam after him.
There are no Prince Charmings like this on Tinder. Where can I order one?

Try the local supermarket. Thats where i found my other half.

The British are so polite, even the artists. We Americans are so crude. I don't think there will ever be as creative a period in Pop music like we had in the late '70's/early '80's, especially what came from England. And Joan Lunden was hot!
Don't the 60s eh?,loads good music from that era as well from us British lol
Remember dancing at the school disco with scarfs tied around our waists ✌️
Like a better version of Jack Sparrow.
I always use to think Adam Ant anfmd Johnny Depp, could have passed as brothers!
Me too! Definitely the same thread running through there - especially with the pirate fashion. Phwoar!
Not seen this before, pure gold! What a great guy and the early 80s backdrop is fantastic. Very nostalgic.

Marco Perroni lead guitarist/ writer to responsible for Adam Ants sound .... 💥👍
Facts!! Horribly underrated guitarist!
what a purely lovely personality and generous nature .
Back when police weren't dressed like Robocop.
compared to todays acts that need 100 people to do all the jobs and make all the decisions Adam And did all himself,

You guys don't understand, MTV was barely born, and shooting a video was line the budget of a whole movie. And the people that loved his music before there were videos........well, that was before email. We have all changed a lot. But you have to remember how much things have changedin his career. , there was no CGI back in the day.
Zelda Pinwheel Who was that addressed to?
Technology has become so it can make you look better than you really are, 40 years later and just think about video making today, you can be turned into anything you can dream up, by the touch of a button, and just imagine trying to tell him what could be done now back then, he,d think you,d gone mad,! And yes i know the choice of words will mean something to people who know his story,
He's so sweet.... I love his watch remark!! Kx
"The panther kept falling asleep" is a very 1981 gripe.
🤣
I went to see Adam both times he played in Brighton, at the Brighton Centre. Very good concerts. I was only a kid, so all seemed like a great big party,to me!!
Happy days & know he's had his problems in years gone by, hope,he's found some peace ✌🏼

Listen how he talks about the old USA. Back when it was the USA.
You mean New York, circa 1980?
i couldnt hear very much she said you are in traf square, for fuck sake
My first concert was Adam Ant. Loved them.
I love that he never did drugs and all that. I'm so taken aback.
He is such a great guy! This is so cool to see! Man! I'm still listening to him! Best concert I saw was h the Ants at St. Johns University '82!! '83?!

Adam is a good dude.
Wow you can see his mood swings even on here. Bi-polar sucks.
Adam. ANT... . My 'ero... Especially KOTWF and the follow up were great. What he achieved back in the day was brilliant and built up a second to none following. He was easily as big as Gary Numan in the UK and must have done really well. Glad he's back to his old self and can enjoy himself a bit more thesedays...

we were massive fans back in early 80s and got to see him Berwick St sev. years ago, some footage available on YT. I recall we were not happy when he broke up the band too early I reckon. Still know the lyrics off by heart to most of the songs.
BoredOfTheRings I see him twice when I was about 10/11 around 80/81. In the Brighton centre.

Ant music.....always 👊
Really bright guy, he was a massive star in the UK at this time..
So a few years ago he was in Chicago and it was fantastic to see him. I love this man so much. I was little when I remember seeing him and falling in love with that man. when he filmed this I was three and would be four in November. I was in London when he released his biography and I rushed to the first bookstore I could find to buy it. Unfortunately I couldn't get to where he was when he was doing book signings. Well that hurt me I still had the book and I love it.
Dude had a great band but so was Bow Wow Wow.
He looks amazing still for his age. He looks a bit like Jeff Buckley

Wonderful creativity in this man! So cool.
A beautiful man, inside and out
In a production like this., even the star is just an employee in the end, lol
i was recently binge watching old episodes of Northern Exposure. I had completely forgotten about the Adam Ant episode!!! He plays a comical caricature of himself. It speaks volumes of ones character if you can laugh at yourself.
Umm... It was still pirate, and still native American , that didn't change. And I've always loved that about him. His look was always indigenous Americans with their stolen or won British jackets they will say it's complicated, but it's always been adam and his own ideas. Man, he was so good putting up with that crap. It was always his own ideas. Probably why I was in love with him and my parent were horrified. ( But my mom was on love with jimmorrison. So, I have better taste in men than she did any day. )
hahaha yes exactly.....AA is unique...and his appreciation for art and history is evident
The legend sound of the 80‘s ‚ ‚‘Stand and Deliver 🤩
I had posters up of Adam when I was a teenager and was lucky enough to see the Prince Charming Revue show at the Dominion Theatre on 21st and the 24th of December 1981 and have now seen him 7 times through the years.
*WOW!!!* 😍 ...it would have been an AMA-A-AZING experience getting to see the Prince Charming Revue LIVE & IN PERSON!! What a LUCKY DUCK you are!😊 I bet you have some WONDERFUL memories of it all!!
This must have been a special production done for Swap Shop which Maggie Philbin was also a presenter.I would have seen it if i wasnt on my caravan holiday in Wales.Stll,dont think i missed anything.
