Oh to have been an 80's kid listening to all these incredible bands...Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, U2, INXS, etc. my walls were literally plastered with them all.
I was there. I was 16 in 1981 and fully embraced being a new romantic and Duran Duran. Everyone I show my teen photos to immediately comment you look like Duran Duran. Mullet, highlights, earings! Girls loved it. It was such a fantastic time to be a teenager. I saw Duran in Hyde park summer 2022 for the first time ever and they were incredible.
Yes born in 1969 I got to see these iconic bands come out! My first concert was Duran Duran 1984 at 15. Depeche Mode. Cure. INXS. Human League. So many great alternative bands! The 80’s was fantastic.
Roger came out of his shell!!! I have never heard him speak much, and with a smile and letting loose! He was SOOO shy and introverted when they began. 😁❤️
I love how Simon said how much he missed John "terribly"! So did the fans. This fan, we missed him terribly too. Glad they got back together. I noticed Simon never said he missed Andy!!!
Great documentary, so thank you for the upload. I think it portrayed the band members as very articulate, which is not always the case. I saw them recently at Madison Square Garden, and they were great. I can certainly understand their longevity.
For the last almost 40yrs... This could be the first time i ever listened to Roger talking that much. Couldnt even find him finishing one complete sentence in thier US TOUR Video back in 1984. Also heard Andy spoke in his true accent for the first time.. Always love them and happy that they are still together after ll this years
The only band that still gives me chills, from the first note to the last evokes memories of my youth. And still drop dead gorgeous. Long may you reign
Took my two oldest kids to see Duran Duran in Denver, it was pretty amazing, they had listened on many car trips to all the CDs, was their first concert.
As a musician myself, I have very eclectic tastes. I have always loved Duran Duran, especially everything they did in the 80's. I also, listen to bands such as Van Halen, Volbeat, Disturbed and the list goes on...instrumentalists like Joe Stariani and Steve Vai as well, but among my hodge podge of music that I keep on a thumb drive in my car is every album from Duran Duran from the 80's. Throws my kids heads for a spin, when they here me listening to those albums in my car. They just can't see me listening to synth driven, neo-disco tainted music (and I hate disco), since I am viewed as the headbanging lead guitarist dad!
Long live Duran Duran! Paper gods is AWESOME! The more I listen the more I like it! For them to create such an album 30 years later proves they were not just a phase from the 80's! And I think Simon looks especially delish for being in his 50's!
Duran Duran los mejores y más fabulosos de todos los tiempos gracias por compartir con nosotros los fans de Duran Duran este video simón es lindo mi favorito ❤💋😍😍😍
Having 3 older sisters during the 80's my ears and eyes were blitzed with Duran Duran albums and videos. Their videos always kept my elementary school interest-usually in exotic non-Western locations that gave a glimpse of locales I'd never seen. Wow what's happened to music today!?
Duran Duran should be taught, glorified and repeated relentlessly at the Fine Arts because they were so sensual and striking in terms of style communication approach during the eighties. Duran Duran needs to be definitively brought back to an irradiant and mondial light through the world of art in general. Patrick Nagel, Christy Turlington, James Bond... I mean so many meaningful references linked to them. THEY WERE LEGENDARY AND THEY WILL BE LEGENDARY ONCE GAIN.
Well, they were a secret guilty pleasure back in the day for most young males like me, but now they are dyed in the wool national treasures for everyone. Their latest album is absolutely bloody brilliant. Just brilliant. Duran Duran: they're winners. Accept them.
Loro in quel momento avevano ancora qualcosa da dare ai fans..e quello che è venuto fuori era ottimo..a distanza di anni io che sono una grande fan loro e degli Spandau Ballet se riascolto le canzoni confrontandole gli Spands sono "carini"..passatemi il termine..Tony Hadley aveva e ha ancora una grande voce..ma le canzoni..e pensare che le ascoltavo a giornate intere..ascolti i Durans...e ti sembrano freschissimi..forse le cose si apprezzano meglio invecchiando!!!❤️🎄❤️
You all probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
Thank you so much for uploading the video! It just reminds me of so many great memories. And I've also learned their stories I didn't know through the video.
The beauty of TH-cam- you get to see stuff- particularly here in Aus. like this documentary that I have NEVER seen before ! Thanks so much for putting this up there- and the person that put up the Sing Blue Silver video documentary - that I haven't seen for years !! because the video tape eventually just gave up the ghost and wore out!!!!!!!!!
I saw this tour (for Astronaut) and can honestly say it was my favorite concert of them all. As great as Roger and John were, it was Andy that brought the magic. And then to lose him again really sucked.
Oh yes, I could not agree with you more. I always feel very grateful that I was able to see this tour! And now, knowing that he’s sick, makes his tour even more bitter sweet to me.
My band. Has been since 1981. So articulate, funny and talented. Still miss Andy, I could listen to him all day. As cheesy as it sounds, they really have played "the soundtrack of my life".
stevan jakovljevic No doubt about it. DD are a band that requires the chemistry of those exact 5 guys. Change any of the 5 and it's still good but it's just not the same level of greatness.
If Andy wanted to go then that was his decision to make. I love his sound and hes THE DD guitarist. But I have NO IDEA WHY they didnt immediately bring back Warren Cuccarullo.....the guy us literally a virtuoso player and was such a great interpreter of early DD work. But Andy was THE DD guitarist. It's really apparent that DD lost a LOT of their edge when Andy left the first time.....and never really got it back. It returned slightly with Warren though. I sound like a broken record....lol
I followed them on the astronaut tour and the first concert was Manchester arena and I got to the front right so I would be opposite Andy.... and when they came on stage all you could see was images with all the flashes from everybody's cameras....then the lights came on....wow they looked so smart in there suits..... every concert I had to be opposite Andy....his bracelet flew of at one point and I grabbed it through the barrier.....but I had to give him it back even tho he hadn't noticed..... Andy's Awsome....was the best tour.....not quite the same without him.
I heard Secret Oktober for the first time in years the other day. Still knew all the words. Then I realized it came out when I was 13. Totally had that "God I'm old" moment. LOL
I was 16 in 1982 when IU first saw them in Toronto ... I can't believe how much time has passed and how good the songs still sound. The first two albums are sheer brilliance!
@@OakineI was younger then, around 21, or so....wasted my life away, wake up baby, wake up! Time to live before you die, now!!!!!!! :-) Simon says "You only get one look before you die."
+Stephen Smith I agree. They were just about the only constant I had in my life that was good. They were always there. The music was there. I can never say enough positive things about them. Roger T since '83
YEAH,The original Duranies with Andy Taylor again,love it and all Boys..lol...still looking good.Thank you so much for sharing this,greetings from Germany.
I love Andy’s responses, he tells it like it is but he’s very articulate and colorful in his take on things. I also always thought he was the most underrated player in the band and deserves more credit
1985 was mentioned as a bad year for them but no mention was made of The Power Station or Arcadia. Interesting John finding a list of potential band names at his Dad's house, one being Arcadia and yet he was a member of The Power Station. Both really good breakaways from Duran Duran.
Also LOVE Nick's voice !!! Wish he would record talking books!! Could listen to him read the phone book or and John!!! P.S- the money and time that I spent on trying to get my hair to look like John's in the early to mid eighties!!!!!!!!!
Well spotted(irony eh?)......it is very easy however to find people who maybe SHOULD be COMMITTED, then working alongside them becomes incredibly problematic.
@@sonicfoxxmusic4281 I've encountered _so many_ of those types in my work/role in media - they want to be pro photographers, models, actors, fashion designers, celebrities, etc, and then they back away real fast when they realise that it requires genuine hard work...
I saw them in '84, Union of the Snake, and that was a bummer cause all I heard the whole time were girls screaming!!..... Finally saw them again for the Astronaut tour, and that was amazing..... They are part of the soundtrack of my life, and I have a total man crush on John......
lmao..this is too funny! So many classic lines.... Nick: "Andy Taylor...well there's no way we're having him!...Nobody will take us seriously!" Andy's hilarious impersonation of Nick's accent. "5 slices of pizza." Roger: "First and last time Nick's been in a pub...with a pint and a cheese sandwich" Simon: "perverted sailor et al"
Does anybody here know if there is an interview regarding Rogers short time with the band in 1995 where he played drums for the Thank You album (a couple of tracks) and appeared in the Perfect Day video?? thx for reading :-)
It's funny that they mentioned that they argue over the setlist, yet the last tour (Paper Gods 2016) is exactly the same set list night after night after night. I wish Union, Tiger Tiger, Careless Memories, New Religion, Sound of Thunder, etc., would be included.
Agreed, they died a second death.... the old stuff was so much better than all this new mediocre melodrama. Whatever happened? But still love them, always in my heart.
With all due respect, but you should definitely give DD's album "All you need is now" (2010) and "Paper Gods" (2015) a try... Songs like "The man who stole a leopard", "Before the rain", "Leave a light on", "You kill me with silence", "What are the chances?" and "The universe alone" are masterpieces to say the least...
@@christianneitzel I don't mind pressure off with Nile Rodgers, I just miss the hard rocking guitar of Andy Taylor. Live in London DVD of original lineup is the sh.t.
They achieved their dreams by hard work/ perseverance. Regardless of social class, they made it . I now have a better understanding of England now, especially with Brexit near. It is interesting to see the similarities and differences between the two of us- Britain/ USA.
I wasn't a screamer. I always listened to the songs and knew all their numbers by head. And when I sang, my friends always told me I sounded so close to Simon le Bon's voice. We taped it once and a male friend thought my female friend sang with a boy. xD. I've been to a concert of them in the 80's
In the early 80s i was only listening to hawkwind motorhead cann gong steve hillage etc..when i found myself 13 years later enjoying " ordinary day " and " too much information " i thought i had lost my mind .....👽🐱
I think this line sums up what caused their music to be so rich and full: starting at 13:03 - "It was real high energy because everybody was playing all the time. Nobody ever left a gap because they wanted to be heard all the time." .
Went to see them in 2004 in Newcastle, it was great to see the five of them back together. They sounded great! I took my other half along with me even though he wasn't a fan but he really enjoyed the night! Wish Andy would come back again.

Roger came out of his shell!!! I have never heard him speak much, and with a smile and letting loose!
He was SOOO shy and introverted when they began. 😁❤️
I remember that. I've always loved Roger and I love that his personality shines now.
I was a teen in the 80's! I've never missed a Duran Duran concert in Chicago. #DURANIE4LIFE 🎵🔥♥️🤗👍
I love how Simon said how much he missed John "terribly"! So did the fans. This fan, we missed him terribly too. Glad they got back together. I noticed Simon never said he missed Andy!!!
Let's all us fans remember Andy in our thoughts and prayers. Even though Andy is not an active member of group...he still is to us in our hearts.

"John and I were snorting half of Peru at the time so our judgement was flawed" ... gotta love his honesty.
What does he exactly mean by it?
Jermaine D. Delos Santos They were snorting cocaine ......Which is plentiful in Peru
@@dothackjhe WTF?

Yeah loved this band in the 80s I was a metal head too. But talent is talent. Good songs are good songs
I was IN LOVE with this band in Junior high, had their posters on my wall. They still look great!
I can't believe how much Roger talks, I thought he shied away from interviews, glad to hear from him
Roger shied away from interviews before because it stressed him out. I guess he grew up some?
Honestly, I think it was all too much, too fast for Rog back in the day. He's opened up quite a bit since rejoining the boys though.
Duran Duran should be taught, glorified and repeated relentlessly at the Fine Arts because they were so sensual and striking in terms of style communication approach during the eighties.

Nah, best band ever was Trio. dah dah dah...
totally freaked out when I saw this the first time when I bought Astronaut ! :) Yes we still are screaming maniacs at the shows!!!
My first and top Band forever. Then DM.
1985 was mentioned as a bad year for them but no mention was made of The Power Station or Arcadia. Interesting John finding a list of potential band names at his Dad's house, one being Arcadia and yet he was a member of The Power Station. Both really good breakaways from Duran Duran.

and he is already a grandfather (or "glamfather" as he calls himself jajajjaaaa)
this is awesome!
Omg they are all still handsome at their age?!! They are my band crush when I was just a kid imagine? I used to have a poster of them in my room.

Best of luck to these guys , I wish them all the best.

For me..Duran Duran died the moment Andy Taylor left the band for a second time, back in 2007.
Agreed, they died a second death.... the old stuff was so much better than all this new mediocre melodrama. Whatever happened? But still love them, always in my heart.
