I never did work out what "Da diddly farqhuar" meant!


Ahhh, memories - Kings of the Wild Frontier was the first album I ever bought. Still got it on vinyl up in the loft somewhere. :roll:

Hmmm, in this day and age I may just have to pop along to the iTunes shop. :twisted:

We can look back and smirk now but Adam had a good thing going for a year or two. Atleast he always looked cleaned and polished compared with some of the alternatives around at the time! :D :lol:

Former pop idol Adam Ant has admitted threatening pub customers who made fun of his "cowboy" clothes.
The 1980s star appeared at the Old Bailey on Tuesday under his real name Stuart Goddard, and pleaded guilty to affray.

The charge related to an incident at a north London pub on 12 January in which revellers were threatened after making fun of his appearance, the court heard.

He pulled out the gun, which they thought was genuine, and threatened to shoot them if they didn't back up


Pub customers started humming the theme from the spaghetti western The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, when he walked in wearing a combat jacket and matching flat cap, the court heard at an earlier hearing.


After hearing the jokes, he left and returned armed with a starting pistol, the court had heard.

David Tomlinson, prosecuting, had previously told the court that the defendant threw a heavy car alternator, which he found in the street, through the pub window.

"Some who were there earlier, pursued him but he pulled out the gun, which they thought was genuine, and threatened to shoot them if they didn't back up."

Ant was described as being "hyper-manic"

After his arrest Goddard had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act in the Alice Ward of the Royal Free Hospital, in north London.

Did he say "Stand and deliver!"

Went seriously downhill after stand and deliver (or probably dog eat dog). Good tune tho. Excellent sound with 2 drum kits.

I've only ever seen one other band do the 2 drum kit thing.

Sad though it might appear, I do believe that The Glitter Band were perhaps one of the first to use a double drum kit sound in modern "pop" music. Hey I ws only a kid,ok? :oops:

Remember seeing Earth, Wind and Fire supporting Santana at the Rainbow in the early 70's they used double drum kits as well.

IIRC one of the drummers used to drum for The Banshees. I have to admit to liking his better moments, although 'Dirk wears white sox' was a little borderline - shame about his demise and that he is now derided by many - funny how peoples views can change so dramatically.
