Dick Clark Interviews Adam Ant - American Bandstand 1982

[@mona-un1wo]

Dick Clark was a class act allowing for the entire band to be properly introduced. Late night show hosts never do that.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

I agree, but I guess Late Night Talk Show Hosts don't have the time to introduce the band mainly because either the networks or syndicators or whoever it is gives them a time limit or something Not sure why and yes, Mr. Clark will forever be a legend God Bless Him

From a visual standpoint, I felt that the original members of Adam Ants band came across much better.

[@scottw.3258]

I don't know if the original Ants came across better visually. I would argue visually the line up for 'Prince Charming' was more pleasing (Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee and Gary Tibbs).

No Marco?

when i was a kid i used to be really into Adam and the Ants , what the fuck is going on here tho , introducing a band of random session musicians , where's marco , merrick , terry lee .. they need kevin mooney to get drunk and fuck about on stage , Adam seems a bit lost without his old gang , a bit sad this really

[@RavenWillliams]

He split the band up as drugs and other things where happening and he was not a fan of it. However he kept Marco in a lot of his songs in his solo career. He even credits him with the last track on "friend or foe"

[@Thompsdan]

Adam Ant lost his final shred of integrity when he donned that candy-assed cowboy clobber.

[@mdluk199]

It was the 80's when rock n roll stars were colourful and larger than life. Much better than today's boring nonentities

[@dorisday5871]

To be honest he could wear a bin liner but he would still be writing great songs, artistic and totally original. They threw away the mold when they made him.

[@MontagZoso]

You obviously just don’t get it.

[@kalicat9492]

No he didn't. It went over your head.

[@victoria7t]

That was not him being a jerk. He suffers from bipolar disorder. His mother had bipolar disorder and I think she had schizophrenia also so he has always been fighting his genetic history. Most times he is able to keep things together but he has had a couple of episodes in the past. However that doesn't make him a jerk. Jerk sure people that don't have any sort of mental disorder and yet they act out anyway just because they think it's fun or cute or whatever.
