marco has to be one of the most underrated guitarists ever clean twang or mucky distortion, always playing something interesting

There's so many great ant songs , but this is one of the best

I'm 17 and I've loved them for years now. Adam Ant revolutionized New Wave and New Romantic, he's a genius, and his style is legendary.

These guys were one of the few rare performers where their live versions actually shit on their recorded output.Not too many artists who can achieve that

Adam Ant is one of those performers that can sing like it is coming from the original studio track. From an 'Antist'

He was, and still is, my first Prince Charming. This was such a creepy, fun song. A sci-fi soundtrack for the mind.

The Old Grey Whistle Test... I remember staying up late as a kid to catch this bitd. Pirroni... an old hand... FaB!!

The new Ant-Man and Wasp say hello.

Spectacular all around! Unparalleled vocals, guitar, bass and drum lines. Thank you Adam.

Amazing to see someone 14 years old enjoying Adam Ant. I'm 39 now and when I was 13 I thought he was the best. I was all alone in that.

He deserved the later commercial success but the early punk / post punk is truly great. This included.

Can't take my eyes off of him ! This and "never trust a man " are my favorites💙💜he's so stunningly handsome XO

A restrained but completely exciting live performance... and with Mooney on bass.... Adam crunchy Tele guitar, genuis lyrics, incredible voice n phrasings (and mental facial expressions!).... and Marco.... what can you say? An amazing and truly unique guitarist and co-songwiter. Did pop-rock/power-pop/whatever, ever get better than this? No. (Glad I was a teenager when it happened!)

Personal opinion: This is the best music video on KZfaq. A band who are just so tight, talented and in their prime. A joy to watch every time.

amazing!!!! i cant believe how good they are live..adams voice sounds even better than the studio stuff,its taken till im 33 years old to realise this. first album i ever bought at the age of 6 was kings. under rated band,but for me one of the best!!

Hit LIKE if you're here after seeing *AntMan And The Wasp* trailer...

My personal ant-them for my freshman year in college, 1981. Still love it!

Yeaaaaaah... I love Adam and his Ants... I love this since my childhood... I love Adam's mad look... really great... I love this song the most... ;)

Fantastic! So special the two- drum sound...and he is still keeping alive with great appearances

Awesome, as tight as a drum and imho it's stood the test of time✌️👍😊

"You gave her wings..??" "AND Blasters..."

Marco fantastic guitar playing also. What a recognizable guitar riff

Kings of the Wild Frontier still one of the best Albums ever- i bought it aged 13 years in 1981-one of the best decisions i ever made

One of the best alt artists of all time. Hands (and all six legs) down!

100% perfection. Amazing

I'm hitting 40 and i would love to see the younger generations enjoying this great music that we listened to, er, about 25 years ago..........where has the time gone?

Antman and the wasp brought me here, but so did good classic rock music. But mainly the recent comic movie.

A new collection of creations from Adam would be something to anticipate! Hey, is it me, or is the UK simply awesome? Adam and the Ants, The Damned, WIRE, new stuff from people like the Horrors... Jeesh! Energy meets style and majesty. US can't compare.

i just died in the 1st 17 seconds , adam come back your THE MAN

Two drums + three guitars. That's the ants invasion. Fantastic Marco Pirroni.

Marco- what a guitarist.

The best song ever... I love Adam And The Ants... and this is their best song... love it and Im listening to it really often from my original CD, which is the most precious to me from all of my music collection... I wish I could hear it live!!!

Excellent! I am an Argentine fan of Adam and the Ants since 1980, when I was 15 y.o. Great ADAM!!!!

One of his coolest songs with killer guitar.

Every track indeed was totally original. No Oasis or Blur, Stones or Beatles comparisons to be made here. Nothing like it before or since. Genius.

This is by far the best Adam and the Ants clip on youtube. They are definately in their prime here.

Can't lie, i'm only 18 and I always listen to adam/ Joan Jett/ Bowie. Nothing of this generation really compares, in pop culture anyway.

Criminally under rated, seriously ❤

He had so much energy the right look fantastic costume he didn't just stand there motionless like some so called rock stars of today

Awesome! Love this song and the whole Kings album. In fact, I like everything I've heard by them or Adam solo so far. I'm glad I found out about them because they're very original. Wish I'd lived in the '80s and actually got to live at the time of such great music and performers. Still great to have the music and such cool vids to watch! Love Adam & the Ants!

One of the best live perfomances on posted on YT! love Marcos G'tar

This and Dog Eat Dog were two of the best that Adam and the Ants ever produced, imo. I'd rate "Kings of the Wild Frontier" as a close third.

So Clever, Been a fan since 1981, This proves they could do it live. Chris Hughes and Terry Lee are faultless, Amazing. Look up a docu called The Madness Of Prince Charming. Brilliant.

"You might not like us now, but you will" Indeed!

True Perfection, I was only about 10 or 11 when this was shown on tv but i was hooked and i'm still loving it all this time on..best times ever!!!

Another great song by the ants. ooohhh how I wish I was there at that eksact time...

This is my fav Ant performance it's got it all. Great sound Great look Great image and Adam at his edgy finest ever. Fantastic.

This is bloody brilliant. Sounds like a cross between KILLING JOKE and SLAYER.

I was a teenager in the '80's and I agree with you,I love anything by him-ants or solo. and kings has and will always be my fave album.(then prince charming!) only wish I would have had the pleasure to see him live! sigh!

incredible song.... Many Thanks from Florida!!!

Ant invasion top tune outstanding guitar

An amazing live performance. X

Adam ant is the best ever! So glad his song is in the new Ant Man and the Wasp trailer. I was wondering why none of his songs were in the first movie?

I don't think there was any better song to include in the new Ant Man & Wasp trailer.

Love this version !!

remembering old and good times, thx!!

wow, bought back many memories, excellent version

LOVE THIS!

Nice to see and hear a group that can actually play and sing live!

I hadn't seen this one yet! *THANK YOU* for sharing this!

Cut my teeth And my little black heart to this loved then and now . ❤

is Adam Ant ....punk, new wave or alternative.....either way that rocked!!

It's like SLAYER meets KILLING JOKE. Fantastic.

Love those looks he does at the camera, he has beautiful eyes so gorgeous

Oh that is effing heaven! Adam and Marco get out and do it again!!!

Positively brilliant!

Outstanding! 😎

OMFG this is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! I am 15 atm and i am in love with Adam and the Ants!!!! I always thought i was born in the wrong decade! If only i was born 20 years earlier i would have grown up when these guys where in biz and i might have been able to go seen one of their concerts! Its a big shame that they split but i see Adam seems to be doing fine on his own atm haha!

the words, Pub, Kentish Town and Gun, spring to mind.

I love this more than 30 years now...wow :)

that guitar is unbelievably good , i beg u adam come back, you are beyond good your out of any league known to music,

these were an excellent band and still sound great,

damn good music--still--after all these years!

I love this song live

Sabbath came first. Ants still rocked on this tune. My all time fave from them. The darkest heaviest tune they had imo.

Marvel i Love you

Jesus... that was decades ago people that will never happen again i love adam and i love the ants every thing they ever released..i was young then and now i'm older things will never be the same again...fuck i miss it and i always will, i'm god so watch what you say...

This tune is Awesome, the drummers are great!

This was taken from the Old Grey Whistle Test, a music show in the UK back in the 80's. It always puzzled me that the Ants never released this as a single!

i saw this when it was first aired on the old grey whistle test great memories

Incredible performance with lots of attitude. I like this!

The 80's are coming back in the States...lots of Adam fans in the US that are going to re-surface..this song is awesome...

I couldn't agree more. I'm 15 and this is just profound music compared to music today. I just love Adam :) He is so amazing.

Terrific performance. Unique!

Adam had problems. Guy was too intelligent in his spectrum of problems. Just got to say this was his greatest look.

Bloody hell I remember watching this!! Yeah I think they did play Killer On The Home on the same show. Sheer briliance!!

Ant-Man And The Wasp!!!!

the intro gives me chills! forever and always love the ants! :)

His music never diez!

Saw it 3x and it was awesome performance just like you said! :-)

I come from trailer the antman and wasp. Like if you too

My favourite Ants track thisone!!!!

Hell yeah!! I remember watching this with my parents going what the heck is this?? Killer In the Home followed and it was brilliant. Great post thanks for the memories!!

Great heavy performance

Brilliant saw them 1980

saw adam in 95 in ne england he was fantastic

2nd piece of "vinyl" I ever bought - "Kings of the Wild Frontier" - and still have it....brilliant band !

*I just have ONE question...* Why are some comments years old and some in past 2-3 days...?? *I guess we'll never know*

Now... I hear that tone over and over...

Exactly: UK. Most people in the US either never heard of them or only know "Goody Two Shoes."
