After witnessing this Adam immediately quit the band with the intention of forming his own, inspired by the Sex Pistols, thus the ants were formed for Adam.<\/p><div class=\"e526d1e761560160a119e3b74cb2a974\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:5px 0 5px 0; text-align:center;\">\nskool\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1609637348681190\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3558122710\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Adam Ant had befriended some influential figures in the burgeoning London punk scene, most notably Jordan, who worked in Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood&#8217;s SEX boutique store. The Ants eventually formed in early 1977 consisting of Lester Square, Andy Warren and Paul Flanagan.<\/p>\n<p>After a difficult time with band members forming another group &#8220;Bow-wow-wow&#8221; the albums followed such as Dirk Wears White Sox. Then commericially significant was the 2nd album &#8220;Kings of the Wild Frontier&#8221; including the hits Ant Music. The 3rd album was probably there most successful with &#8220;Prince Charming&#8221;. From that point on Adam started to gain such popularity that it was just a matter of time before the solo career took off.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/adam-and-the-ants-pop-music\/\"><img width=\"125\" height=\"99\" src=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/adamandtheants-160x127.jpg\" class=\"alignright tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"Adam and the Ants\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/adamandtheants-160x127.jpg 160w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/adamandtheants-300x238.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/adamandtheants-377x300.jpg 377w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/adamandtheants.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><p>Now returning to te pop scene again in 2011 it seems the Adam cant leave the pop scene and remarkably he is still getting great reviews.
