Cat Burrito Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Saw him in 2011, he was great fun. Didn't watch it tonight but he's doing what he does well right now. I'd have lost the backing vocalist (or got one who doesn't struggle with his keys so much) but generally he's doing well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexbasscat Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Is it just me that thought his vocals weren't that strong and didn't project very well ? he was also a bit low in the mix overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 I thought he sounded terrible. Very lacking in both tone and energy. On the plus side you could hear the baseline very clearly and I found it interesting to hear how it goes without the over the top 80's mix I'm used to hearing. I quite liked the first song (no idea what it was) but felt the band were very disjointed and nervous looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I haven't watched Jools yet but I did get some free tickets to see Adam Ant live in 2012 at the Troxy in East London and it was a pretty good show, the most amusing part was seeing people in the crowd dressed still dressing as Musketeers, French maids ...

silverfoxnik Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Watched it last night and enjoyed the whole of Jool's annual NYE show... Having first watched Adam at The Marquee in January 1977 - when he was really very different to his 'Pirate' days and much grittier and more punky - last night brought to mind some of that early '70s spirit.. Especially as the last time I saw him live at The Scale in 2010, he was not really very together at all. As a long-time 'Ant fan', it was great to see him back on national TV, him doing a few of his well known tunes and a new one too, and still showing that 'ridicule is nothing to be scared of'..

Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I thought he was fantastic. And it was nice to be able to hear the bass on that show for a change too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musophilr Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I never liked Adam Ant as a pop act, but I thought they were quite good on the Jools program. They were a lot more rocky, and I thought the guitarist was working hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Was Jools bassist using a Fender P5 instead of the Dingwall Super P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buff Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thought it was the best near years eve show for a long time, but would have loved to have seen mr ant with some ants instead of a backing band. Hard to believe the Hives have never been on a new years eve show before now, thought in some way's they made the show. Roland Gift still has a great voice, unlike Kevin Roland.

buff Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 You've hit the nail on the head really, most people in they're 20's can get away with not having a great voice. But add another 20 odd year's on and its a struggle, only exception to the rule strangely enough to my ear's is mr lydon. Who i think sound's better now than 20 year's ago, well on PIL stuff anyway.
