ADAM AND THE ANTS : FEED ME TO THE LIONS (1980)

Ένα από το κολλήματα μου με τη μουσική των ‘80s είναι η δεύτερη, all-time classic κυκλοφορία των Adam And The Ants (1980). Εξακολουθώ να απολαμβάνω αυτή την έκρηξη στυλιζαρισμένα ακατέργαστης ενέργειας, τους tribal ρυθμούς και τα μορικονικής εμβέλειας κιθαριστικά riffs, όχι τόσο συχνά αλλά με την ίδια (…σχεδόν) μέθεξη. Οι λόγοι τόσοι, όσα και τα κομμάτια του Kings Of The Wild Frontier. Να ένας από αυτούς. 📀 📀 One of my hang-ups with ’80s music is the second, all-time classic release by Adam and the Ants (1980). I still enjoy that burst of stylized raw energy, the tribal rhythms, and the Morricone-scoped guitar riffs – not as often, but with the same (…almost) rapture. The reasons are as many as the tracks on Kings of the Wild Frontier. Here’s one of them.

Too emotional am I?
Too emotional am I?
With a spirit soaring
Ten miles high
I sing loud words
That make me cry
Too emotional are we?
Too emotional are we?
Defying all security
I mean to keep this fire in me
Because you’re feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Too emotional are you?
Too emotional are you?
With just one heart
To see you through
A world where facts
Are so untrue
Because you’re feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Too emotional, are you?
Too emotional, are you?
With just one heart
To see you through
A world where facts
Are so untrue
Because you’re feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)
Feeding me (to the lions)

    I always liked Adam when we were with the Ants and after he became an Ant in 1982. He certainly had his mental issues over the years.

      Yes, poor guy.
      I always had great appreciation for guitarist – main songwriter Marco Pirroni!
