Neutrality and style
[edit]I took the liberty of removing the following section from the main article. Surely it needs serious sub-editing to bring it into line for a Wikipedia entry. Hence the two stubs on the main article page.

"Marco has also acted as contributing editor to some of the key books about the punk scene, including Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs, Vacant, Vivienne Westwood: An Unfashionable Life, Punk and John Savage’s England’s Dreaming, which The Times deemed “a monumental survey… a good claim to the definitive work on the subject".
Having continued to work with another ex-Ant, Chris Constantinou, to form The Wolfmen (www.thewolfmen.net)- in 2005. Early reports suggest that two trademark factors are in this new music - classic song writing, and the spirit of that 100 Club appearance.
Jackie Says is the debut EP from The Wolfmen, the new band from Marco Pironni (Adam and The Ants, Sinead O’Connor) and Chris Constantinou (Adam and The Ants, Jackie OnAssid). While many of The Ants’ punk-era cohorts tour the UK playing old hits on ‘package tours’, The Wolfmen prove that Marco and Chris are continually looking forwards…
The four songs here show exactly where the band is coming from: the title track tells a story of Jack The Ripper, with music that’s as arresting as the subject matter, while Needle In The Camel’s Eye is a fierce cover of early Brian Eno. All tracks are produced by The Wolfmen except Needle which was producer by Chris (Merrick) Hughes (Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney, Adam and The Ants).
This may be the first buy-able release from The Wolfmen but their tracks have been leaking out through TV and cinema for the past year. Like on a major Heineken TV ad, or the soundtrack to Bravo TV’s I Predict A Riot, which Time Out declared “astonishing” and The Times “compelling.” The band also recently wrote music to accompany two hitherto silent fetish films from the early 1900s/futurist era. Sounding like a hybrid of 70s thrash and Reichian minimalism, they were premiered in May as part of the ICA/BFI’s Fashion in Film Festival.
The Wolfmen are crafting a unique visual style at the same time as this new music. Jackie Says has a twisted film-noir-style video by British movie director Paul Hills (Boston Kickout, Urban Gothic). And then there’s those Batman-style Wolfmen logos that seem to be popping up all over London…"
Good job, Derek. That was just press release fodder. Don Williams 05:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Marco Joined the Ants
[edit]I just made a small edit, Marco and Adam joined up in 1980 not 1979. Steveant (talk) 06:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit]onlyloversleftalive.co.uk is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the biographical claims and appears now dead. It is unclear what it was but may have been a fan site or similarly inappropriate source for a BLP. I do not trust this source and any statements supported by it should either be removed or better sources found and supplied. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 16:26, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
4AD seems to confirm the site was a fan site here; "ADAM ANT [FROM ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE FAN PAGE]: I saw Marco in Rema-Rema..." (brackets quoted) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 16:41, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
