ADAM ANT - BEAT MY GUEST MAN !!!!

"THE NAME OF THIS SONG
IS BEAT MY GUEST !!!"
This is one of the most INCREDIBLE SONGS EVER RECORDED. I put it up there with anything Sinatra did or even the blues tunes by Robert Jordan and even anything that MOZART CREATED.

Its that good.... honestly.

I think its better than anything that came out of the early Punk movement. It is one of the earliest songs that came out. Adam Ant was heavily influenced by Malcom McLaren, (Sex Pistols) but I have no real clue to how much... beyond the clothing. Adam was kicking around with a group called Bazooka Joe and they opened up for the first Pistols gig, ( a concert that totalled under 15 minutes in a small art college). This song was actually hard to find at one point in history. You had to either know someone who was lucky enough to have stumbled upon it or you had to tape it off a late night music broadcast out of Canada at 3 in the morning....
MY MY HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.... FOR THE BETTER......
The studio version Adam screams, " ALLLLWWWWLLLRIGHT MUCHACHOS !!!" Look a bit over to the left and you will see Marco Pironi wailing away on his guitar cranking out groovy ear splitting riffs. He is a bit pissed off about the original punk movement, ("We invented everything !!!") and nobody is taking that away from him .... well.. that is except unless you count the retched Green Day, (the Clash Rip Off !!).... These guys are the real deal and its exciting to see them do their dirt. Its exciting to see ANY of these original guys do their stuff that makes them famous... Buzzcocks, Damned, Pistols, Souixsie, ... and even.. ahem... Billy Idol when he doesn't get glammed out and carried away..... But lets get sensible here.... the real punk rock... like Adam and the Ants carries a powerful energy to it -- even today.
