Adam and The Ants on Tom Snyder - Ant Music and interview with Adam

[@AlmostReady504]

He hid his depression well. What an incredible performer. I had the privilege of seeing him twice in New Orleans in his Heyday and he was absolutely phenomenal

[@scaringthecheese]

YES! He was sooooo Amazing. Saw him in Tempe, AZ..

[@leonleenaarts6000]

Yes !!!! As a very straight man I remember having a crush on him !!

[@SrWhite-tv2lv]

@@leonleenaarts6000 Don't worry, you're just showing how confident you are as a man by recognizing that another man is very beautiful.

[@maskof]

Not a lot of bands used two drummers. That what made The Ants so tribal sounding, those killer rhythmic beats.

[@rabfallon4507]

Burundi drumming is what they do .

[@krisscanlon4051]

Burundi drumming meets Bo Diddley beats...tribal like a primitive ACDC lol

[@original.dwornboy]

The Glitter Band always used two drummers as did Marc Bolan and T.Rex live in 1974.

[@stefaniiiii4198]

This is interesting. Cool

[@blessedgigi2161]

He is so beautiful, articulate and kind! I've loved him for so long!!!

[@JaneSmith0709]

When those drums kick in you know immediately who it is! That was such a unique signature sound. I wish so much that he had stayed with the Ants a little longer, there was no one out there doing what they were doing. Alas, he's a true artist and gets bored easily, especially with the bipolar and I understand that. Artists want to grow and the audience wants to freeze them in place. I'm glad he's having a measure of success now, I'd love to see him perform. I hope he makes it into the Rock Hall of Fame.

[@staninageric]

I hope too

[@FunOnABun1]

This interview does a great job of showing how intelligent and passionate Adam is

[@PatientenO.T.]

So intelligent and ahead of his time.

[@TheFaithArtist]

Brilliant interview - Adam is articulate, thoughtful and obviously intelligent. Oh, did I mention drop-dead gorgeous? I applaud his return to touring with a new band.

[@franceswilliams5141]

Beautiful, gorgeous man, with a lovely accent.

[@debraweaver6308]

Oh ... YEAH..... Drop-dead GORGEOUS!!! All of the attributes mentioned, plus being SOOOOOOOO handsome! Adam just had TOO MUCH going for him!!!

I love this interview of Adam thank you so much it was so beautiful and I'm so grateful for people out there who love Adam and post footage of him because I would never have seen it thank you so much Adam is so amazing at this time of his life his point of view is perfect

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

I saw him on this tour and the following, then waited 35 years and saw him this year. He was brilliant, smart, ahead of his time, and now folks are learning how influential he actually was.

[@Songmandave1]

I've seen a lot of bands in concert over the years, and His show is one of the best I've seen, he is a showman...go see him still if you ever get the chance..

A beautiful man in every way.. a rare thing.. makes me proud to be a Londoner like him.. Thanks Adam.. you will always be so great!

[@davidallen346]

This guy is beyond awesome and original back in the eighties

[@pamelabuttery3192]

i was there, the night this was getting taped, it was a full house and i had a standing room only ticket - been following him since the spring of 1980, when he first came to nyc

[@TheGodParticle]

Your one lucky person, I'd give anything to have seen him with the Ants

[@violetgc6049]

You hit the jackpot, what an amazing experience/memory!

[@TheNavarro6767]

For the people who said he probably looked average without the makeup... google images... never looked average.

[@lizabelle6297]

He was stunningly beautiful with and without makeup. Even now he is still handsome

[@violetgc6049]

Awe-inspiringly beautiful inside and out. What a genuine, articulate, honest and gracious person. Personification of the term "God's gift"

[@erichani1]

b norwood ok that makes sense

[@divinebanditchick2382]

b norwood agreed such a handsome man...

[@traceythompson6817]

He was stunning!

[@housemouse1382]

Adam has the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen. I have all of his albums still today in 2018. I couldn't wait for the next album to come out in the 80's. Because each album was different, fresh, exciting and hot! I saw him in concert at the Civic Center in Saginaw, Mich. Unbelievable energy! The double drum kits just awesome. Amazing performance. Still love you Adam xxx

[@BridgetMurphy]

He needs to be in Rock n Roll hall of fame!

[@Silo-Ren]

Their just has to be a way to re-introduce Adam Ant to our current world. He's so smart and was so ahead of his time. He definitely belongs in the RRHOF. I hope one day he or his music is featured in a movie and he blows up big time. Our generation needs to know more about him.

[@MWDarkAge]

Saw him in concert last night at FOXWOODS and he was AWESOME. Good job ADAM!

[@cindyspowart555]

Excellent on this tour. Tight, killer band w/ a hard edge and Adam, fit and singing as well as he ever did. Also, still a very pretty pretty boy at almost 65 (November).

[@denamartinez9005]

I'm so proud of Adam he have never been into drugs

[@angielou123]

I'll second that, it's quite an achievement these days!

[@mph1ish]

He has Bipolar Disorder. He's talked of it freely and how it's both helped and hindered him throughout his career. He's a big advocate for mental health becoming less taboo. "nuts in the head" really doesn't help the cause.

[@bgierat]

That’s why he looks so good in 2020!

[@fortnitesweatgod9513]

@@bgierat He smokes and drinks now sadly. Pressure got to him..

[@Deeznutseighthundredthirty]

@@fortnitesweatgod9513 Bipolar depression is not an easy thing to cope with and the fact that he went the majority of his life with consuming alcohol really shows how tough he is.

[@franceswilliams5141]

Damn, this man was so gorgeous.

[@bluestone2001]

Great upload. Amazing close ups. Good shots of his make up. The prince charming outfit is in the V&A in London. ( in the theatre and performance section) The 'Kings' outfit is currently on display at the O2 rock museum at the millennium dome London. ( it's on loan from the V&A)

I was on the American Bandstand episode when Adam first came to America! Great memories!

[@violetgc6049]

WOW!! What an experience, I can't even imagine

[@salishrose]

With the exception of Henry Rollins, I don't think many in the music industry took up the banner of clean living. It's a shame, because I think it translates into raw energy and an honest giving of oneself through your music. I'm happy that Adam is back on the scene. We need what he offers.

God, he was Beautiful!!!

Adam Ant back in 1980 during the album Kings of the Wild Frontier.

Adam Ant is a musical genius he came up with so many personas in a few short years every song was different I couldn't wait to see what he did next he kept his style so fresh

[@robertppreston3514]

+Brians Brain that's because he has passion for his music and time for his fans

Great interview , His response was on the Empire was spot on , it won’t have been a popular thought in the early 80s , I’ll have been 10 and I was only told about the glorious empire - Adams thoughts were 30yrs a heads of it’s time

[@mrspester]

To see Ant when he's hungry, ambitious, is an astute reminder of his former glory. He is, in this moment, the catcher in the rye

[@jimdevo]

You are correct, it was the Banshees. I guess Adam before the ants was in a band called Bazooka Joe and they opened for the Sex Pistols first show ever. I knew there was a Pistols/Adam Ant connection in there somewhere.

[@artlover1477]

Also Malcom McClaren managed him or gave him advice in the beginning.

I was The Romantics open or them way back in the 80s. When his band came out the girls were screaming so loud you couldn't hear. The Romantics hauled.

[@grailmaiden]

I think the older people had to realize that in the UK Adam and the Ants had a fanbase from toddlers to people in their 90's. In the UK at big concerts after the break out UK television performance on Top of the Pops singing Dog Eat Dog in 1981 the whole country went bonkers parents would bring their kids grandparents everyone was ballistic for this band with a huge demographic you must realize this was among the FIRST performances in the USA so maybe the older folks weren't dialed in yet
