Early Life
Eric Adams was born on 12 July 1954, in Auburn, New York. He first showed interested in music when he was nine years old, playing the guitar and forming his own garage band in 1965 called Meet the Kids. This group, formed by him and his classmates, would perform shows in the mid 1960s, with songs generally focusing on childhood love. The band released a song entitled "Lovin' Everyday" in 1965, which was released as a single for their 1966 album Class of '66. Adams was 12 years old at the time.
In 1980, he joined the newly founded band Manowar and has been the lead vocalist since. His stage name is a combination of the names of his sons, Eric and Adam.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
