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:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
