Really cool. Just thought that it was silly that no one had posted about adam ant seeing as he is so cool. maybe was so cool is more appropriate. he's kinda old now, and doesn't wear the cool clothes or stripe across face.:D

it has occurred to me that i have used the word cool a lot. the ironic thing is, i hate that word! :P

He was ten times cooler (your word not mine) before the silly clothes and striped face..

I just saw Bow Wow Wow Friday night @ the Key Club which is basically the Ants minus Adam plus Annabella. Adrian Young from No Doubt has been filling in on drums for them lately. Jonas from Skeletones was there, and Tony Kanal too. I was really shocked to find out that they didn't like Adam that much, and that Malcolm McLaren convinced them to dump him. It's amazing the little intricacies you don't hear about. Adam is my boy!! Hey, but he did come back with that song "Wonderful". Truly a beautiful piece.

Mathew Ashman.. R.I.P.. He was my hero...

Bow Wow WoW.. fuck i loved that band.. Who did you talk to about Adam was it Leigh ?
I saw Adam and the Ants in erm.. A long time ago at the Electric Ballroom with Leigh in the line up with Mathew and Dave and then the next thing.. Bow Wow Wow.. I even saw Boy George sing with them (he was known as Leuitenant Lush then).. Anyways i could go on forever about Bow Wow Wow but i won't bore you.. hahah.. Oh yes i will.. I went to quite a few of their early gigs which were fucking superb.. When Bow Wow Wow split they became the Chiefs of relief then Leigh and Dave left and started a band called Atomage who were fucking fantastic (like a cross between Bow Wow Wow and Duran Duran)..
How were they Neuwave?

Oh and did you see the link i done ages ago showing Adam doing "Save the gorilla" (a stand and deliver reworking).. It's mad,sad and erm good..

Fuck my brain hurts.. Sleep time...

Oh man! I love The Ants! I have the video compilation....and the videos are so cool. Gotta love the 80's! I think my favorite video is "Stand and Deliver" and "Kings of the Wild Frontier"...and "Dog Eat Dog" is such a great song! Now I can't wait to get home, put the videos in and crank up the stereo while I make cool 80's clothes.
Man, stuck in the early 80's am I.....sad...

I think Adam was at his hottest in the early years ....the Ants were hot too...in an 80's kinda way....I use to see some of their videos on MTV when I was a kid in the 80's and get so excited! Ahhh....he was pretty hot!

My fave video of all time ever is prince charming. i love adam and the ants so much!

Nah, I read that here (link) about Malcolm while researching an article I was doing.

Awesome!! I stayed upstairs the whole show, but it was great. Annabella had Mucho energy. I regret not trying to meet her.

By the way, thanks. I guess I didn't research that enough. I didn't know he had passed. The person on guitar for them now looked similar to Matthew. I think it was Phil Gough from Common Sense???

Mathew Ashman...

Fuck.. From being one of Adams Ants (before the cabaret), to Bow Wow Wow to Chiefs of Relief.. Have you heard these Neuwave? Not so good on record but my fave live band of all time.. After Dave and Leigh left .. Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols joined on drums and a guy called Duncan who was the drummer from another excellent band called Martian Dance (he also went to see Adam and the Ants in Milan in 78) joined on keyboards and a guy called Lance on bass.. Fuck they were so good and there was always an atmosphere (and 9 times out of 10 a fight) at their gigs.. I also saw Mathew play with Andy Taylor (Duran Duran) and he joined a band called Max which also featured Kevin Mooney (another ex Ant) and just before he died he was in a band called Agent Provocateur which featured Dave Barbs son on drums.. As Mathew never really aged when he was on stage with Daves son it really looked Spooky.. Anyways i told you i'd bore you :D

Dude!! That is the most amazing piece of info I've heard in a long time. You're really up on your history.

I'll bore you with more tomorrow if you like.. I'm kerry packard.. night night zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Deal.

Sorry, I can't get back on a more regular basis, but I do when I think of it, and I have free time. I just wish I knew some of this info before Friday. Would've had a lot to think about instead of drink.

Those damn $6 Newcastles are killing me. Must've drank about $40 worth.:D

Anyway, cheers! I'm headin home. Talk to ya tomorra.

Aw that's pretty wicked. Adam Ant is ... cool! I love them so much, I mean Adam and the Ants. It brings on a lot of memories for me too. I love the songs Ant Music and Deutscher Girls.

I'm climbing the hill and can almost see over it.....

I remember when Adam and the Ants were popular (?) I saw there videos first on Don Kirshners Rock Concert....eek! I was like: WoWy! A bunch of guys in cool clothes and make up....yeah! Yum yum! I guess that's why my first concert was KISS when I was 8, and other bands I liked in the 80's all kinda resembled that type of look. I love Hanoi Rocks...Poor Mike Monroe hasn't aged too well......

Oh god!! That was a great year. Ditchin' school(11th grade) to go skate @ this old reservoir called the backdoor in Fontana (which is now the site of the local jail), listening to The Cults' Electric album (masterpiece) which was my first official concert w/Guns N Roses opening up for them, me & my friend taking my stepdads VW cabriolet, and spending the night on Laguna Beach with 2 girls, and a blanket. Hey, that's a great title for something "2 girls, and a blanket" . I'll never forget the look on his face when he was receiving something from her. Oh man, we laughed about that for years . We used to buy weed from this old lady down the street, and I mean old she had false teeth, but was funny as hell. If I ever get a chance to make a movie there has to be a scene of going to her house. Pure comedy . Oh man forgive me guys for drifting off into memory land, but :wow:.
