Eric Adams appears overcome with emotion when performing heavy metal band Manowar  live….ERIC ADAMS On Performing For MANOWAR Fans: ‘We Soak In Their Energy And We Give It Right Back To Them’

March 16, 2024

In the video below, MANOWAR frontman Eric Adams looks back on the band’s 2023 tour of South America, including first-ever performances in Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador and the long-awaited return to Brazil and Chile, and explains the electrifying energy at any MANOWAR show. Eric talks about the message of MANOWAR and the honor and privilege of hearing Manowarriors share the impact of it on their lives.

 

Asked if there are any special moments that stand out from the South American tour, Eric said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Every night I’m excited to see the fans’ reaction when we first come out on that stage, because they’ve only seen videos of us. For some of these places we played for the first time, they’ve only seen videos, so when we finally do come out on this stage, I mean, they go absolutely rabid. It’s unbelievable. And they know the words to every song. Arms up in the air all night long. I mean, they really, really are into it and loved every minute that we were on that stage, every minute of it. We try to include the fans as much as we can in every show, every MANOWAR show. [They were] going crazy. It’s a great time for us and a great time for them, and that makes it a great time for all.”

 

Asked how it feels to hear fans tell him that MANOWAR is the most important band in their lives, Adams said: “Oh, it’s, it’s incredible. I mean, when I see ‘Sign Of The Hammer’ tattoos on their arms, on their legs, on their tits, everywhere, it’s, like, these are true, true fans. These are true fans. And it’s gratifying for us to know that we bring the love of music and the love of our message to everybody all over the world. To listen to some of the stories, when a fan comes and talks to me, it’s almost — they’re tearful, of what they had to go through and how they thought… I don’t care if it was just them or if it was a family member that they loved and they had to go through whatever pain they had to go through, they were brought back to their fold or back to life, I think, by just listening to some of the MANOWAR songs. And that’s our whole idea, is to let people know that this isn’t the end. Everyone’s a hero. You’re your own hero. And what you do in life to create that hero is totally up to you. It’s totally up to you. Nobody can tell you what to do, how to dress, how to wear your hair, whatever you wanna do. You’re your own person and you’ve gotta let them know it. And I think that’s the message that we send to people and that’s the message that they get. And when it’s a combination of sending and getting, it’s a huge, huge thing. Huge.”
