Everyone talks about John, Simon, and Andy, but can we take a moment to appreciate Roger? That man is absolutely wonderful at what he does. He's one of the people who inspired me to play drums. He's just so quick and precise
I know. He is a great drummer. He is also the most private and reclusive of the original 5. The meteoric rise to fame they "enjoyed" put a heavy strain on his nerves, too; which is why he bowed out for a few years in the '80s/90s. Without a doubt, the original lineup was the best... I'm glad they're all back together. 👍
Yes! Roger is fantastic! I think as we get older we can see more clearly what an amazing group of musicians they truly are! ❤️ Not to mention how magnificent Simon's voice was and still is!
One of the greatest bands of all time!!!!!! Man!!!!!! What talent!!! Non-musicians thought they were teeny-bopper but what a shit load of talent an creativity!!!! Love these guys!!!!
OMG~i never knew there was a video for friends of mine and i've been a durannie for almost 41 years~i'm nearly 56 but i feel 15 again watching this for the 1st time~amazing~~~~~i bought my 1st duran single hungry like the wolf on my 15th birthday in june 1982 then when save a prayer came out in august '82 it just blew me away and i knew that duran duran were my lifelong band and heroes :D
That is the sweetest thing! I’m always finding videos of them now on RUclips and they’re such gems! I’m a relatively new fan that just turned 16 so I can imagine exactly how u feel!
Com certeza, é também a melhor banda de todos os tempos pra mim, e "friends of mine" é a minha música preferida. Amo todos os integrantes, principalmente John e Roger.
80`s perfect storm: skilled musicians, talented singer, original songs and good looking english guys with good teeth. It's hard to gather all together.
I was obsessed with Nick, Simon, John and did emulate their style, I saw them at the Roxy theatre on sunset blvd in Los Angeles (capacity 500) on their first us tour..still have my autographs and ticket stub.. it was $7.50 general admission. I wish someone had filmed that show.. we were front and center and dancing the whole time..thrilling memories..
Simon still looks handsome in 2022. I see why I had such a crush on him in the 80s and 90s and the time of this video. In interviews he would say he didn't do as much drugs as other rock musicians because he needed to keep his vocal chords and voice healthy. Now in his 60s, his lesser use shows.
Saw these guys last night in Scarborough uk , absolutely brilliant, they sang friends of mine, one of my all time favourites from Duran , they still got it after 40 odd years.
I so envy those who live in the UK with the bands that tour there. To be able to see DD, Nik Kershaw and Tony Hadley, how awesome. DD is touring North America this year, which is great, but I’m still envious. I’ll always love artists from the 80’s!🌺
Five young Durans, sitting around a table, playing cards and looking smoking hot, interspersed with cool early performance footage. What's not to love?
Laurie L. I've been duraning since 1981 they are my life band Laurie. Seen them 14times and was at villa park in 1983 .They have been my inspiration throughout. Love from a male duranie. Manchester uk x
Just saw them tonight in Boston. They performed this song and it was fantastic. I have gone to concerts all my life and I am stunned by how good they were. I feel like it was the best concert I have ever seen. Thank you Duran Duran for all the great memories dating all the way back to the early 80's! Keep rocking or is it still New Waving?
Saw them in Boston as well LOVED this song live! I can’t wait and hope I get another chance to see this band live. It only took me about 43 years to make a show…..
There was another (better) side to this bands' music that, sadly, the masses never experienced. Despite their huge success in the early 80's, paradoxically they are a very underrated act. This is my favorite song by them, oh and Khanada, oh and Secret Oktober, oh and New Religion, oh and...
I couldn't agree with you more ! Underrated and away from their main "big hits", this song, New Religion should have been big hits, but as a fellow Durany we no their music was pretty cool and the best era in my life the 80's. Keep happy my friend. Duran Duran ❤
You sound like a well versed person of taste (from a pretty well experienced DD follower). Very true - I still really rate some of the B-sides and non-singles that just totally captivate. After all, to appreciate art we sometimes have to look at things from a different perspective - look beyond the immediately accessible works and find pieces that take your breath away. Additionally, when you listen to some of the late 80's re-arranged pieces of their more familiar works, you get to see a band that really understands their music and vibe, delivering art that goes well beyond the "pops".
Wanton Wordsmith I am an Duranie for 30 years too,but i saw it in Germany on a TV Show calles:Formel 1 in 1983 and i still love it and Great to see it on You Tube now,that´s right ;-D
I’d been looking for it. Have you seen night boat or my own way?? My own way is fun but lol more disco sound on video doesn’t sound like Rio album!!!! Have a great day fellow DD fan
I've been a full fledged Duranie since 1981, and I'll die a full fledged Duranie. I think that somehow my mom knew when Nick and Simon were born, because I was born on Nick's ( 8 years after him ), and my sister was born on Simon's ( 13 years after him ). When the 2nd British Invasion hit, I was...still am...into every British band from the late 70s to middle 80s. God I WISH I could go back in time, so that my husband and myself could experience the decade all over again and again and again. I'll never want to leave. Plus, my mom would still be alive ( RIP mom who I got her into A LOT of the British bands ).
My mom used listen to DD with me. My dad sometimes too. In fact when Arena came out, we were in a trip to Phoenix AZ. My parents let me listen to the cassette 8 hours there and 8 hours back. Rest in peace mom and dad. Thanks for being cool.
The sweetest thing I’ve read! I can empathize with how you feel, I was born 30 years to late so as much as I enjoy listening to them it would mean a lot to live through the age of the British Invasion of the late 70s/early 80s
@@lanasgirl479 It definitely was an exciting time to have been part of. I can still remember the day that MTV debuted, which was August 1st of 1981. Many, many, many young kids refused to go to bed, because they wanted to watch the debut of MTV. MTV played, on repeat, The Bugles, “Video Killed The Radio Star.” It was a brand new era and experience. It was Duran Duran that made movie-like videos. They did, however, got into a bit of hot water with their original music video for “Girls On Film,” and they had to censor and edit certain parts of the music video, BUT the original was played after 10pm. The other music video, from Duran Duran, that was only shown after 10pm was “The Chauffeur.” I can’t believe that the music from the early to mid 80s are now considered to be “golden oldies.” As long as you continue to play the 80s and enjoy the music, it doesn’t matter when you were born. Trust me, keeping the 80s “alive” through the younger generations, is going to keep the legacies of those British bands alive and kicking.
Simon is soooo gorgeous in those close-up shots! I've always loved this song and remember all the words to this day. Just love John's bass and Andy's lead guitar work. Now this is what you call real 1980s "romantic" music that will live on forever. Forever a DD fan! *****
This song & video are HUGELY infused with the energy, freshness & originality that characterized New Wave music when it first came out & represented such an undeniable break with Pre-1980's Pop/Rock sounds, styles & conventions as to make being a teenager or early twenty-something at that time (as I was) a totally mind-blowing experience. Best time to be that age in the history of Pop/Rock BAR NONE!
i've been a DD fan since i was 14 (almost 25 now) and i finally got to see them live and hear this song live this year (2023 for all you future duranies!) 🎉 love them so much❤❤
Been a fan since 1981. I was 10 almost 11. Saw them for the first time in 1984 at the carrier dome in Syracuse ny. I have seen them a total of 4 times now. Just saw them again on September 3rd. They still put on one heck of a show.
1:20 and 1:36 Simon seems to forget when to sing the words 'waiting' and 'taking', he gets them mixed up. Couple of other times too. Very slight. Just bad miming on Simon's part LOL. But still a great song and video.
Self titled and Rio are absolutely masterpieces, there are no bad songs at all. In fact, I have self titled on cassette, but unfortunately it doesn't have my favorite track, which is Late Bar
Scott Wozniak If you're in the US you won't have, I recognize it as being from Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, a BBC music/features programme for kids on Saturday mornings in the 70s/80s :)
+Scott Wozniak LOL me either, but it does sound vaguely familiar.... I can't wait to see them in a few weeks at Red Rocks, it will be my adolescent dream come true, albeit a few (READ: many, many) years later.... I'm not sure who should be more scared, the crowd or them !! ha.
+Scott Wozniak, me too. I copied their hairstyle and put the single ear ring on like Simon did. LOL. This video is in superb quality. So cute the young Duran. Thank you Orlando for uploading.
Duran Duran back in the fun fledgling days. Miss Andy Taylor's contribution to the sound. He added the cool, edgy factor with his guitar tone. On ya Andy!!!
I saw this video as a young girl.I saw the Aesthetic in their dress and an immediately remembered song. I'm 47 now - and my adult sons respect Duran Duran.
This was from The Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, which was live, Saturday morning kids’ TV. Presumably the “performance” part was recorded and the scenes around the table (part of the studio set) were live.
That explains why it’s bit rare I bet hardly anyone had a vhs recorder. I had about 8 E180’s with every tv performance from late 1982. I’m so thankful most bits now findable on RUclips. My best earliest tape was recorded over by mum mum in 1990 when I went to poly I have never been so angry with her. More fool me for leaving at home.
Growing up in the 80s, this band and their music had became my safe haven from the ways of the world. After more than 40 years, this is truly the first time that I have seen this one. Awesome cut that still rocks and kicks ass,😎😎😎😎😎.
I had completely forgotten this song until I saw them in Chicago. The style swings between the verses and chorus grabbed my attention in the 80s, now it’s back in my head.
DD have always been my fav band and new album out this year...I used to have a huge poster on my wall with them in these outfits....my fav outfits they ever wore and I am a straight 47 year old lol!
As a die hard fan of Duran Duran, I had not seen this video until about a year or so ago. As a teenager I would have died to see this LOL and even as adult I still love them all =) In October I seen them in Dallas. It was the best concert ever. I wanted them to play this song so bad however I did get to enjoy hearing Planet Earth live. I miss Andy being with the group. I always wanted to see them in concert as a teen in the 80s but seeing them as an adult only made me appreciate them more.
There's only notes A-G, plus sharps/flats and keys. This is bound to happen throughout time. I doubt it's intentional. I'd have to be in the room when it's written to know that. I love both songs, but despite the similarities, they have a completely different feel for me. There's a song by the Cure that's like this, but I can't remember the other song for comparison. Brain's too old lol.
This is one of those songs that pop into your head every now and then and when you hear it it's like listening to it for the first time. Big Duranny as a teenager and use to play drums to this all the time...Great Band, Great Song, Awesome Bass Line (as usual) and just pure fun to listen to again...Thanks for such a classic.
I don't think you can get more New Romantic than this song, well maybe you can (fade to gray by Visage or early OMD, but is unmatchable to Duran Duran)!!! Duran Duran first caught my attention as a young boy in the early 80's........and I have liked them ever since the Rio and Seven and the Ragged Tiger Albums (too young to remember their first album entitled, "Duran Duran"). Duran Duran are and will remain my #1 Favorite Band. They are not just a part of my childhood, but a part of my life as far as their music making me feel great (Euphoric at times). Thanks for uploading this video clip.
They were post punk people wanted different music at the time they delivered.There first self titled album was epic put them into overnight fame then they delivered Rio!!
Oooh they were so young then. 😊 I love watching this video over and over! Their costumes are so cool! The video is also amazing! 😄 One of my favorite songs to sing along to and one of my favorite videos to watch! 😄
RT is sooooo perfectly handsome. He and JT were the most dreamy English boys when I was a pre-teen. Yes, they were an absolutely gorgeous band, but I heard their songs and fell for the music before I ever saw their videos. MTV wasn't in every city for several years after it launched.
Come to Brazil again, I'm looking forward to seeing a show of yours, I had no chance before. I hope so much..... Fan since 1981, when I was 11 years old. My favorite song, one of the most beautiful...
This is a video/dubbed performance they did for the Multi-Coloured Swap Shop TV Show from the early 80's (They also did Girls On Film on the same show). Its on the DVD of the 2CD/DVD re-release of "Duran Duran" from a few years ago, along with a few other TV performances.
Some things don't chnage. Roger still doesn't smile (though he's my fave), Simon still can't dance (though he can move on stage),Nick still loves a bit of makeup and John's bass playing is identical!
I'm sure it was filmed for a Saturday morning kids show 'Saturday Superstore ' . Judging by hair and clothes late '81 circa 'my own way' ( if u haven't already heard the b side 'like an angel ' do so in its many versions).
Jay Sterling I thought it was for that show "Swap Shop"? Idk, I'm not at all familiar with British children's programs seeing as though I'm an American and I didn't even start watching TV until I was four (1983, which means I'm old for certain places online).
I'd never seen this video before today, and I thought I knew all of Duran Duran's early videos. I think it's funny how Simon seems to keep forgetting the words.
Back then I think the record companies would decide what songs to release as singles. But why on earth MTV didn’t play these early Duran vids is beyond me.
Everyone talks about John, Simon, and Andy, but can we take a moment to appreciate Roger? That man is absolutely wonderful at what he does. He's one of the people who inspired me to play drums. He's just so quick and precise

Saw them in August, they were incredible!!!
I love Duran Duran but they weren't that good in concert sadly , still love the songs
John's bass playing is one of the main reasons they had all those hit songs. He was self taught and was always on the ball.
One of the best bass players in Rock...at the age of 19.
His baselines "make" Rio the lp it was.
Absolutely. His bass drives it along with Andy’s guitar.
And much influence by Bernard Edwards, from Chic.
He was?!
@@BuffOrpington5 Yes.

It wasn't a released "video" as such - it was a performance for a UK Saturday morning children's show called Swap Shop - this was in very early 1982.

The charisma that Simon exudes in his close ups is
incredible.
almost painful to watch somehow.
No Doubt, Duran Duran is and will always be the best band of the 1980's ... These guys are soooooo talented.. Thank you for all the great music

Duran Duran back in the fun fledgling days. Miss Andy Taylor's contribution to the sound. He added the cool, edgy factor with
his guitar tone. On ya Andy!!!
My dad is constantly recommending music for me and I appreciate him so much omg
One of my favourite Duran Duran tracks, love that it’s still being enjoyed in 2020
I still adore this song from listening to it 40 years ago 💜 love you Duran Duran 💜💜💜
Durannie gal! Like, you know. We love our fellas. They're totally tubular. x
I saw this video as a young girl.I saw the Aesthetic in their dress and an immediately remembered song. I'm 47 now - and my adult sons respect Duran Duran.
This was from The Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, which was live, Saturday morning kids’ TV. Presumably the “performance” part was recorded and the scenes around the table (part of the studio set) were live.
That explains why it’s bit rare I bet hardly anyone had a vhs recorder. I had about 8 E180’s with every tv performance from late 1982. I’m so thankful most bits now findable on RUclips. My best earliest tape was recorded over by mum mum in 1990 when I went to poly I have never been so angry with her. More fool me for leaving at home.
What a band, proud Duranie right here. Legendary ❣️👑❣️
John Taylor, what more can I can say!!!!!!
Absolutely scrumptious
Marva Jones-McMullin - haha yes! Hi-five!
Marva Jones-McMullin nick rohdes what more can I can say !!
Marva Jones-McMullin the sexiest Man ever
Marva Jones-McMullin p
Love it. Pure Andy Taylor on lead. Classy boys.
Andy rocks it hard!!! Love him.
John on bass is good too baby!!
That bassline 🔥🔥🔥
Killer drums and bass. Guitar too. I never realized how talented these guys were musically. Spot fucking on!
Growing up in the 80s, this band and their music had became my safe haven from the ways of the world. After more than 40 years, this is truly the first time that I have seen this one. Awesome cut that still rocks and kicks ass,😎😎😎😎😎.
Been a Duranie for over 45 yrs and this is the first time seeing this video....OMG, LOVE IT!!!!
NIck Rhodes is soooooooooooooo beautiful in this video :)...Duranie for life!!!!!!! No band like them ever!!!!
Awww, they were so cute! And to think Nick was only 19 !!!!! He was intelligent and wise beyond his years
Simon’s expressions in this video looks like me when I’m trying to sing along to this song in my car lol
Happy Duran Duran Appreciation Day! ❤
Just saw them in Chicago 🥰
They performed this it was incredible 👏 😍
I had completely forgotten this song until I saw them in Chicago. The style swings between the verses and chorus grabbed my attention in the 80s, now it’s back in my head.
@@joelambert1243Same, I had forgotten it until I saw them play it in concert 2 months ago! 🤩
One of the highlights of their classic debut album. Great track.
I have always loved this song from day one since I first heard it
3:07 the laugh from those was really catching!
At 1:50 - Nick moves to the music! cute!
AND NO SIMON I WILL NOT CLOSE THE DOOR!!
Nickrhodes littledarling Yeah I wonder what was so funny. Probably Simon with the potty mouth jokes. Lol
@@martinwarford1389 "so i says why do you need a urinal!?"
Nick is so cute. And we share the last name Bates although he didn't like that last name.
@@Nina-fp3jv yeah!
Love his look in this video.
DD have always been my fav band and new album out this year...I used to have a huge poster on my wall with them in these outfits....my fav outfits they ever wore and I am a straight 47 year old lol!
They said they were friends of mine...they said they were only passing time..timeless classic🔥🔥
A banda da minha vida, desde que eu tinha 10 anos amooooooooooooooooooooooooo e sempre irei amar Duran Duran!!!!!!
John Taylor is the coolest & the most inspiring bassist in the world. I owe a thanks to him as the reason for me picking up and learning bass guitar.
Great chorus on this one. You can just feel what is going to come. Sign them!
As a die hard fan of Duran Duran, I had not seen this video until about a year or so ago. As a teenager I would have died to see this LOL and even as adult I still love them all =) In October I seen them in Dallas. It was the best concert ever. I wanted them to play this song so bad however I did get to enjoy hearing Planet Earth live. I miss Andy being with the group. I always wanted to see them in concert as a teen in the 80s but seeing them as an adult only made me appreciate them more.
blur most definitely lifted this duran track for girls & boys
whatthehellvideos I had never noticed that before-but now I can’t not hear it-you’re right x
Yes around 1994 every duranie connect Boys and Girls like a retroduranie flavor.Damon voice connect too with Simon early tone.
@Samuel Rummer they should have sued them, like the kinks tryed doing to the doors beause hello, i love you sounded like all day of night lol 😂😂😂😂
Wow yes you’re right! How did I not hear that before?!? Duran - the original and the best! 💕💕💕
There's only notes A-G, plus sharps/flats and keys. This is bound to happen throughout time. I doubt it's intentional. I'd have to be in the room when it's written to know that. I love both songs, but despite the similarities, they have a completely different feel for me. There's a song by the Cure that's like this, but I can't remember the other song for comparison. Brain's too old lol.
I woke up with this video playing, oh love them all. What a grand morning!
Duran Duran is a classic, that will not Ever be Matched. I loved them an their Genius Talent.
Well said
This is one of those songs that pop into your head every now and then and when you hear it it's like listening to it for the first time. Big Duranny as a teenager and use to play drums to this all the time...Great Band, Great Song, Awesome Bass Line (as usual) and just pure fun to listen to again...Thanks for such a classic.
Thanks John xxx been a red head for 30 yrs xx because o you xxx
Ils ont su colorer mon adolescence et toute ma vie avec leur musique unique et marquante. Leur spectacles, vidéos & costumes, tout était parfait!
I don't think you can get more New Romantic than this song, well maybe you can (fade to gray by Visage or early OMD, but is unmatchable to Duran Duran)!!! Duran Duran first caught my attention as a young boy in the early 80's........and I have liked them ever since the Rio and Seven and the Ragged Tiger Albums (too young to remember their first album entitled, "Duran Duran"). Duran Duran are and will remain my #1 Favorite Band. They are not just a part of my childhood, but a part of my life as far as their music making me feel great (Euphoric at times).
Thanks for uploading this video clip.
They were post punk people wanted different music at the time they delivered.There first self titled album was epic put them into overnight fame then they delivered Rio!!
Yes their music does do that!
Seeing Duran Duran April 5th and July 21!!!
can't get enough!!! ❤
Your so lucky they are so awesome live ,enjoy. le bon girl 71 xx
July 30 for me! I'm counting down the days!
Thought 'Can't gedenough' was Dep Mode?
I was so happy they sang this at their recent concert in SF. John Taylor so fine here 🫶🏼
Northern California 2023!
Oooh they were so young then. 😊 I love watching this video over and over! Their costumes are so cool! The video is also amazing! 😄 One of my favorite songs to sing along to and one of my favorite videos to watch! 😄
i love this video, i love nick n simon for all these years..
They just played this in Boston last week. Pulled out TONS of deep cuts for the Duranies 😀
Cool! Saw them in northern California earlier this year. When the song came on it was crazy. Great song for a concert!!
RT is sooooo perfectly handsome. He and JT were the most dreamy English boys when I was a pre-teen. Yes, they were an absolutely gorgeous band, but I heard their songs and fell for the music before I ever saw their videos. MTV wasn't in every city for several years after it launched.
Come to Brazil again, I'm looking forward to seeing a show of yours, I had no chance before. I hope so much..... Fan since 1981, when I was 11 years old. My favorite song, one of the most beautiful...
I remember sometimes wearing a rolled bandanna on my head as J. Taylor does in this video. What a time it was.
Duran Duran banda maravilhosa. Garotos talentosos descobri essa musica por acaso durante a pandemia. Não paro de ouvir.
Fernanda concordo plenamente vc com vc.
Duranie since 1981 here, love this song!!! ♡
Idem
Minha musica preferida!
This is a video/dubbed performance they did for the Multi-Coloured Swap Shop TV Show from the early 80's (They also did Girls On Film on the same show). Its on the DVD of the 2CD/DVD re-release of "Duran Duran" from a few years ago, along with a few other TV performances.
My brother (and I) love this band so much that he named his first born after Simon!
Oh my God, I grew up with Duran Duran. I forgot how incredibly hot they all were, especially Simon!
My man crushes for these lads are insane
Some things don't chnage. Roger still doesn't smile (though he's my fave), Simon still can't dance (though he can move on stage),Nick still loves a bit of makeup and John's bass playing is identical!
Roger was my favorite too ❤️
Agree with you 👍💖💕
If you watch the video of Pressure Off, at the end Roger smiles in a so captivating way!🥰
@@murphycooper7557 OH YES MY FAVORITE PART 😁❤️
How is that I've NEVER seen this. I've been a hardcore fan since I was 14..damn...
Duran Duran back then just handsome young men at home having fun rehearsing music and enjoying themselves
I've NEVER seen this before....it wasn't even included on the VHS "video album" I have from back then. This is awesome!
I'm sure it was filmed for a Saturday morning kids show 'Saturday Superstore ' . Judging by hair and clothes late '81 circa 'my own way' ( if u haven't already heard the b side 'like an angel ' do so in its many versions).
Jay Sterling I thought it was for that show "Swap Shop"? Idk, I'm not at all familiar with British children's programs seeing as though I'm an American and I didn't even start watching TV until I was four (1983, which means I'm old for certain places online).
All five are so beautiful and still look incredible
Yes they do!
How have I never seen this? I love Duran Duran this is like my birthday.
They really showed the early 'Japan' influences in tracks like these…And decades later Duran still write tracks very like this for their albums.
I'm going to see DD tonight. They did this song when I saw them several years ago; hope they perform it again tonight.
Do you remember? Did they??? 🤞🤞🤞
I'd never seen this video before today, and I thought I knew all of Duran Duran's early videos. I think it's funny how Simon seems to keep forgetting the words.
Man, I've been a Duran fan since late 1982, and in all these years I never saw this video. I never knew a video for Friends of Mine even existed.
Simon can be a friend of mine
everette martin Just a friend???? C'mon he can be more than a friend 😂
Hell yeah! He can both to me as long as I get him.
They look amazing in uniforms 😍😍😍
I'm so often so irritated by Duran Duran. This song with this edit and this video back in the 81s-82s would have been a HUGE hit. ARRRRRRGH!
I don't even remember seeing this back then!
Back then I think the record companies would decide what songs to release as singles. But why on earth MTV didn’t play these early Duran vids is beyond me.
