Gilli, where are you? Adam and the Ants existed well before BWW, and I'm pretty sure there was never a suggestion that Adam should join them, whereas Marco Perroni joined Adam after his BWW rejection. That's how I remember it. My point please, I have my question at the ready. Having said that, Marco P wasn't really one of the biggest names of the 80s, nothing like Adam, so maybe I should shut up.

Hmm, I think the question is a touch dodgy:
"In 1980, notorious punk rock spindoctor Malcolm McLaren had just hijacked Adam's entire team (for upstarts Bow Wow Wow), leaving him forced to set up a new Ant farm. Armed with the serrated guitar sounds of Marco Perroni and two — count 'em — two drummers, these musical sav-Ants created a sound they dubbed "Antmusic," injecting the throbbing syncopation of Burundi rhythms into the gaudiest of T. Rex riffs"
and
1979: Adam & The Ants release their first LP "Dirk Wears White Sox" on the Indie label Do It Records. Although the album doesn't chart well, it become an underground hit. Adam decides he needs to "revamp" the look of the Ants and hires Sex Pistols svengali Malcolm MClaren to help them out.
1980: When the very first British "Indie" chart appeared, Adam & The Ants 1979 release "Dirk Wears White Sox" was in the number one position. That same year, Adam and his newly reformed Ants (the last group had been persuaded by McLaren to leave the Ants and join his project "Bow Wow Wow") released the quintessential album "Kings of the Wild Frontier." Taking the UK & US by storm with their singles "Dog Eat Dog," "Antmusic,"
So it wasn't that Adam was in BWW and was askd to leave, rather that Malcolm hijacked Adam's band to set up BWW. So Adam is the nearest toa correct answer, but the question's misleading nature led me to assume it must be MP as I knew Adam was never in BWW.
Point to Oily Slick, or new question required?
