I was also too young to see him when he was actually Jesus, but I think it reflects how much of a hero he was at the time that no-one is slagging him off now. I'm not sure I'd put him up there with Bowie but I'd certainly put him above and beyond most other pop performers I could think of.

Do my eyes deceive me?! *Nice* comments about a celeb on Holy Moly?

Adam, you were my hero throughout the 80s and you should be worshipped like Bowie. Hope you get it together, do some gigs and bring out new material.

I was too young to see him in his heyday :(

Fucking spot on!!

In his slight defense it was a toy gun. But yes, he did have a tiny 'thing' pop inside his head for a while. But fake guns and starter motors aren't quite in the same league as people dying all around you and you getting away with it (Docherty), walloping fans when you're feeling a bit mental and getting away with it (Winehouse), dropping drug wraps like confetti in court and getting away with it continuously (Docherty again), being a whining, no-mark gobshite who just won't fuck off (Jordan, Katona, any ex-Spice Girl, Cheryl Cole, anyone to do with Jade Goody but her kids, The Krankies) - (the last one was a joke).

Adam Ant was a deity in the eighties, then he wasn't a deity any more. That must be a mind-fuck. (Ask David Essex). At least he had a reason to throw spare car-parts.

Looks like he's been fingering a dogs arse.

...and something to do with throwing a car starter-motor through the window of the Fiddler's Elbow - his local (or was)!

I seem to remember Mr Ant having a slight disagreement involving a handgun at some point. Much talk of madness at the time. Wouldn't exactly say that he looks completely stable even now.

His make up isn't as good as I remember!

He went a bit "Frank" didn't he (as in Bruno as in mad) but he's come though his shit and looks well - good for him. As for Fielding - I'm sure he's Pan. Those pointy boots hide cloven hooves I'm sure of it. His mother's probably a jackal.

He's looking well isn't he? (Adam Ant I mean, not Noel Fielding, he looks like a right nobber).

Sigh...my first crush. (I was very very young by the way you ageist bastards.) Still remember going on the Hook-a-duck at the fair so I could get a poster of him. Happy days. Sniff. What happened to that innocent child. Sob.

I find it almost impossible to say anything bad about Adam Ant. He was a fucking God for years so no wonder he went mental for a bit. He was in the Equalizer with Ewa Woowa and he was fabulous, He has lovely eyes. And when I met him in Camden Market a few years ago and had a fag with him (when I still smoked) he was a lovely guy. So there. Noel Fielding must have creamed in his teensy paisley Y-fronts, going out on the town with such a seasoned dude.
