Merle Ginsberg is a great interviewer. She doesn't go in for tendentious nonsense. Her laid back approach is refreshing. Bow Wow Wow just gets better with time. Great rhythm section. Kudos to Annabella for getting into showbiz as a teenager & not allowing it to screw her up. CHEERS
I still can't believe she was only 16 when this interview occurred. She was more mature and better spoken than a lot of adults then or now. She's a year younger than me and I'm still amazed at how she was a world-wide celebrity (for the most part) when she was 15-16 and fired around the time she turned 17. I still don't understand why they did that...
I had the hots for Annabelle Lwin in 1982, 83. I think every 18 year old boy did. I love the lawn chairs; low-budget, punk rock aesthetic. I read earlier that the US tour was cancelled for other reasons.
Malcolm McLaren put them together and the other band members wanted her gone and basically ignored her. She wrote all the hit songs on their second album so it was harder to get rid of her.
futurist cyber punk blade runner girl creative she had a very good band ,,, I would of seen them if I could......no 70s in them..no ten guitar solos or over complex boston sound ...a new art emerged 80s I loved it I was young life was new and fresh
Originally they were 'clothes horses' for Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm's pirate range. Coupled with Adam's 'Burundi beat' nicked along with the original 'Ants'
I’m watching this interview of Annabelle still in her teens and suddenly have this flashback of Amy Winehouse when she herself was a rising star in her youth, and oh God if she’d just stayed clean and sober, wouldn’t she had been phenomenal.
I guess there was no budget for decent chairs and air conditioning. Annabella looks like she is positively sweltering and I mean literally nearing heat stroke during the interview.
Absolutely adored her she was gorgeous & when go wild in the country came out on 7 inch single my old man as disgusted with the sleeve because Anna was naked!! But my old man was a complete prick anyway 🤦♂️
As a guy who was friends with a British girl still deeply tied to her British roots. In their culture getting married and having kids and being set is expected before 21. Maturity really gets focused on really early on in their society.
@@stevenwonder3171 No, it's not. Her father was Burmese. Her mother was English. Hence her birth name is Myant Myant Aye Lwin. Her mother's maiden name was Dunn.
Probably in court, suing Malcolm McLaren into the stone age for having their 14 year old daughter pose nude for an album cover, surrounded by grown men.
A very punk attitude on display here, not wanting to stagnate or copy anyone else. Obviously it wasn't that long after punk ended and McLaren's influence is clear.
Dave, Matthew, and Leigh were writers on several of the top songs, I believe. And to be fair, Annabella was quite young, but she also became a listed writer on songs like Do You Wanna Hold Me?
@@VideowaveMusic Yes, I didn't mean to disrespect them what I was trying to say is I think they were used and manipulated by the industry and Malcolm McLaren
Seems the comments are full of 'isn't she hot' mostly from lesbians. Isn't that just objectifyting the exotic flower? Why didn't the guitar tech step in in the US? What's a guitar tech for otherwise?
I can't believe this interviewer is taking this seriously, Bow Wow Wow were not even real, just another McLaran project to make himself money. He pinched all Adam Ant's vision, and then he pinched his band and then in a vague way, led the world believe that Adam was his creation too, which was unbelievably unfair to Adam. Bow Wow Wow and music are an oxymoron.
Your post trailed off there at the end, and rightly so bc it seems you're misinformed. Bow Wow Wow at this point were independent of McLaren, even though they were his creation. Big deal, so were the Sex Pistols. It matters more what you DO then who made you, wouldn't you agree? (Plus, it was McLaren who gave Adam Ant his musical ideas, that's well documented)
@@RisforRockit no. I loathe McLaran. He was 100% fake and he never had an original idea in his life. He got exposure, cred and rich at the expense of others, a total phony. I think Bow Wow Wow's success ( or lack thereof) speaks for itself.
@@virginiaviola5097 Malcolms Buffalo gals can you find as samples in many todays hip hop stuff by Eminem etc. Fake?🤠For me the early Bow Wow Wow and Ants where on the same top level. The later stuff by both Bands was crap
@@wernerrotten4662 fake. I have no love to give or respect to find for Mr Malcolm McLaren. And it was not ‘Malcolm’s’ Buffalo Girls...it was theirs. They should be credited, this was what was happening on the street, Malcolm just found a way to make a buck from other people’s art..every time. Complete a*sehat human.

I think she was trying to exert more independence from McLaren which he didn't like
her arms look so natural and beautiful not covered in ink im not against tatoo,its just nice to see 1983 again when people were not covered in them
Because back then tattoos were about symbology and treasured memories. Now it's more about looking cool for the most part
That's a weird thing to type mate
Tattoos are sickening on women. Masculine and disgusting.
@@thehairyclevage1645hes spot on.
Agree 100%.
Her beauty is almost hypnotic!!
oh I miss them! I loved their sound and Anabella was stunning and effortlessly chic!
She is actually one of the most stunning woman I have ever seen. She seems really shy.
@matchpoint it’s usually the quiet ones you have to be careful with.
Saw her 3 yrs ago, she's still a fox.
She's not shy for an English girl in 1983, just average for that time and place.
The 80s had some amazing new wave babes...Annabelle, Clare Grogan, Debbie Harry, Terri Nunn, Kim Wilde, Kate Bush, etc.
annabella just stunningly gorgeous
Great interview ❤
SHE WAS 16 YEARS OLD THIS TIME. ;)
And I was 15 years old and in love. Music was good.
I had the hots for Annabelle Lwin in 1982, 83. I think every 18 year old boy did.
I love the lawn chairs; low-budget, punk rock aesthetic.
I read earlier that the US tour was cancelled for other reasons.
Why don't you have a seat right over there
Love, Peace and Harmony is my favorite. Such a powerful song.
Gotta love the lawn chairs!! 🎉🎉 fantastic..love these interviews.. 💕 turn a fan on!
Thanks, we were on a shoe-string budget!
my god she was just the ultimate babe, damn
SteveRes still is
born 1966. see the title of the vid, do some math, and turn yourself in.
The absolute ultimate
I've listened to Bow wow wow songs but good to listen to Anabella talk! I didn't know she was very young back then.
She was 14 when 'i want candy' was released.
@@TheFokker03 wow, very young.
About 16-17 during this Interview. When I saw them for this tour I thought she was 20 something, not just a couple years older than myself!
What Annabella didn't know at the time that this was taped was that she had only days left in the band before being sacked.
Can you expand on that?
@@e30m31989 she was sacked days after this interview.
She found out she was let go by reading it in NME. There was no way that Bow Wow Wow was going to continue without her.
Why did they let her go?
Malcolm McLaren put them together and the other band members wanted her gone and basically ignored her. She wrote all the hit songs on their second album so it was harder to get rid of her.
Perfection at it's Finest & like fine wine, aging well. God Bless
Not sure how I ended up here but I had the BIGGEST crush on Annabella Lwin as a teenager. She was stunning and that south London drawl !
New Wave music forever!
What a gorgeous woman!!!
I'll certainly be watching this more than once, more than twice...
Omg she was so gorgeous...and like every other teen boy who got a gander of her...I had a big crush on her!
Yep I was so in love with her as a boy
Annabella is beautiful
futurist cyber punk blade runner girl creative she had a very good band ,,, I would of seen them if I could......no 70s in them..no ten guitar solos or over complex boston sound ...a new art emerged 80s I loved it I was young life was new and fresh
She was so freaking hot! Damn....so beautiful
i like when someone takes pride on where their from
the interviewer is Merle Ginsburg who was a judge on first 2 or 3 seasons of rupaul drag race
Sure the heck is!! I thought I recognized the last name & her voice!!
She was so beautiful..
Annabella is so wonderful to watch. Merle is gorgeous as well!
Sweet Dreams sounds very different from what I remember
Originally they were 'clothes horses' for Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm's pirate range. Coupled with Adam's 'Burundi beat' nicked along with the original 'Ants'
Annabelle should have been a supermodel too!!!
before supermodels existed
You realize a model must be 5'8. Annabella's cute at best but no supermodel 😆
@@sodone4078 Kate Moss is 5'7.
I’m watching this interview of Annabelle still in her teens and suddenly have this flashback of Amy Winehouse when she herself was a rising star in her youth, and oh God if she’d just stayed clean and sober, wouldn’t she had been phenomenal.

There was no budget....period 😄

As a guy who was friends with a British girl still deeply tied to her British roots. In their culture getting married and having kids and being set is expected before 21. Maturity really gets focused on really early on in their society.
Annabella was an Asian Bombshell before her time
"perfect Asian Bombshell"?
I read somewhere her dads half Italian & half Cuban and her mother's of French ancestry so 🤔 ?? 🤨
She's a bombshell for any time!
@@sodone4078 What? No. Her mother is English and her father was Burmese.
@@SluttChops other way round. 😉
@@stevenwonder3171 No, it's not. Her father was Burmese. Her mother was English. Hence her birth name is Myant Myant Aye Lwin. Her mother's maiden name was Dunn.
Dazzling mascara surrounding those eyes with that feminine british accent...
Annabella sure was a real hottie
do you want to hold me? Lol.
Strangely, I'm always more interested in Merle during these interviews... whatever her story might be.
venusboys3 She got a sex change and became Judge Reinhold
@@AntwhaleNearfar LOL & true!
Sarah's Riding The Storm Wave. Punk rock is a vile endeavor. Deal with it.
Someone fix the A.C.!! 🥵 LOL
How on earth did this interviewer get a job as one?
she's the best, fuck off! MERLE GINSBURG!!
I know, she sucked.
Not quite...not now
Easily the sexiest woman in rock.
Damn she was search a babe then and she sill is .
Her speaking voice never really matched her face in my opinion 😂
Matched perfectly for me.
Where are her parents!?!?!
Backstage.
Probably in court, suing Malcolm McLaren into the stone age for having their 14 year old daughter pose nude for an album cover, surrounded by grown men.
@@barryt4455 Nobody cared about that sort of thing at the time.
nervous & 16 & too honest ...
a judge on rupauls drag race
A very punk attitude on display here, not wanting to stagnate or copy anyone else. Obviously it wasn't that long after punk ended and McLaren's influence is clear.
Yes, and perhaps due to her greater independence, she was fired from the band only a few months after this interview.
Зачем такая приятная девушка, связалась с фриками.
Bow Wow Wow was basically The Monkees 2.0.......people who were picked for video that could not make music!
Dave, Matthew, and Leigh were writers on several of the top songs, I believe. And to be fair, Annabella was quite young, but she also became a listed writer on songs like Do You Wanna Hold Me?
@@VideowaveMusic Yes, I didn't mean to disrespect them what I was trying to say is I think they were used and manipulated by the industry and Malcolm McLaren
