DD were the first band I saw live. It was 19 December 1983 at Wembley Arena, and was my 13th birthday. I was a member of the fan club so had really good seats in the second block from the front.
I just cannot believe those guys from the 80's are still performing as they are, they have millions and they still want to entertain, God please bless them all
When I saw this on The Graham Norton Show and heard Duran Duran sing, Black Moonlight, I thought, WHAT A SONG! I loved it so much that I started to boogie to it. Thanks Duran Duran. Fabulous song! 😁💃🏻❤
Ironic isn't it. One of the most successful and long lived bands of all time can be so underrated. No other band (other than may be U2) is cracking out as good music in their 60s as they were in their 20s
These guys still look and sound great for being in their "gulp" mid 60's now. Man, I'm feeling old myself knowing I was listening to these guys over 40 years ago. Time flies!
yeah...as you may know, he almost lost his voice several years ago and started going to vocal coach for the first time. really helped. we saw DD in Tampa this past june....he sounds much better live than he did back in the day.
Im 52 and I still get a kick hearing their names being announced out loud by anyone. Underatted band! They're living proof of age being just a number,, they sound as energetic as ever and not depressing and aged old like other acts still around from the 80s.
DD makes me feel like I am 20 again. So many great pieces of artistic mastery and each of them shines in their own right. Talented musicians and I loved them in the beginning and even more today. Happy birthday Simon! ❤
It's Simon's birthday?! Happy birthday, Simon! I concur with you, but I discovered them in '82. Hearing the song makes me want to fix my hair, out on makeup, and get kicked out of the club for dancing too long!
@@persephone2296 I do as well, especially some of the more obscure tracks like "Michael. You have a lot to answer for", "Nice", "bedroom toys", and "Northern lights".
@@67johnnyjoeI REALLY LOVE SIMON LE BON, I HAVE SIMON LE BON DOLL AND NOW JOHN TAYLOR, THAT MAKES TWO DOLLS, ALL I NEED IS NICK RHODES AND ROGER & ANDY TAYLOR OR WARREN CUCCURULLO & STERLING CAMPBELL OR STEPHEN DUFFY, I'M THINKING OF THE WEDDING ALBUM WHICH OF THE DOLLS WOULD GO WITH MY DURAN DURAN (THE WEDDING ALBUM) I HAVE THE CD: DURAN DURAN,(THE WEDDING ALBUM) AND I NEED YOUR HELP TO CHOOSE, WHICH OF THE DRUMMER & LEADER GUITARIST GOES WITH MY BIRTHDAY THEME, CAN YOU HELP ME OUT, MY BIRTHDAY IS DECEMBER 23RD.
I'm the same. First got into them in the early 80s with hits like Rio and Hungry Like The Wolf. When they did A View To A Kill, I was hooked completely. I'm 47 getting on for 48 now, but listening to this makes me feel so much younger - it's like been 14 again lol!
Me too! I’ve loved them since I was 10ish and am almost 51! They weaved their way into my tender, young heart when I first heard Hungry Like the Wolf. I am eternally a Duranie! ❤❤
The same with me. I started listening them at age of 11, the time of Wild boys/Arena live album. Still following every new music they make and having all their albums. A lifetime fan. Welcome back lads!
DURAN DURAN is a world treasure and we must all appreciate their craft and presence! They are ageless throughout the decades and will forever live in our hearts and mind! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Can we please stop with this “ageless” crap. They’ve aged and there’s nothing wrong with that. Also there’s nothing wrong with being old and there’s nothing wrong with looking the age you are. I swear, our obsession is youth is so real and so normalized that even old people hate old people
I have been a long time fan of Duran Duran since 1982, they are the greatest band ever in my opinion, they have produced some of the most greatest music ever, songs like planet earth, girls on film, careless memories, the reflex, save a prayer, Rio,a view to a kill,skin trade, vertigo, orderly world,come undone, do you believe in shame, all she wants is, right up to all their recent albums, they are legends of the music world
I can't knock it when you see lighting in a bottle you just have to sit back and enjoy it. This will be played for many years to come and be one of their songs in their line up. I think in the writing of this song it took just two days and the combo of Andy Taylor , Nile Rogers on this track took it to another level it almost brought the magic back. Big up Dom Brown for playing so well on this track live never been keen on his playing but he has been there for many years and has been respectful to all guitarist coming in and out over his tenure I give him a big thumbs up.
Wise words and beautifully spoken 😊. Dom really enjoys playing with DD, these years on the road with them are going very well. Despite being very dedicated, he is respectful towards the guitarists (Andy, Warren and Nile). Dom Brown is sensational and played very well, honoring their work, which was also part of Danse Macabre.
One of THE biggest and most talented bands , musicians on the planet for decades! They have successfully stayed on top of the charts, on top of the music industry game where many other bands of the same genre, & different genres that started out in the 80’s have failed to do . They topped out in the 80’s then found it hard to stay relevant, change up their music enough to keep current , sound fresh but still like themselves to stay current with the changing music scene … Duran Duran are masters of reinventing their sound , themselves to consistently stay on top in the music world! 40 years of absolutely incredible music album after album- along with always pushing themselves to be better and better… while even creating new genres of music like they have with “ Danse Macabre”!
This whole album is their best in ages - and that's really saying something, because the last couple were really great. This song is just brilliant- I hope it hits because it definitely slaps.
Omgoodness!! There's soo much awesomeness! The band is tight! BonBon's vocal excellence gives me goosebumps up and down. Oh how I needed this!! 💃🏽🥰💃🏽🥰💃🏽🥰💃🏽🥰💃🏽
So far this is the best tune I've heard from the new album. Great band and Rock n Roll Hall of famers for sure! Masterful songwriting and musicianship.
As always Duran Duran made an incredible live performance! Black Moonlight is one of the new album's song that I can't stop listening to! Congratulations! You are awesome and I love you guys! 🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thrilled to see Simon looking so amazing and happy on his birthday - here's to many more for a truly lovely gentleman! DD forever! They make their live performances sound even *better* than the studio versions, they are so underrated as the excellent musicians they are.
I don't know how they keep getting better with age, but they do! Phenomenal song and they look great. Saw them twice this year and both shows were beautiful.
Happy Birthday Simon. I named my daughter after your amazing beautiful wife., she is now 7 years old..I have followed your music since I was a child and I want to try so much for your inspiration and I want to wish you happiness, and that your family is blessed ✌️💋❤️🌹
Duran Duran 🎉🎉🎉 best band on planet earth 🌎🌍🌎 fantastic brilliant awesome amazing performance 💪💪👏 luvin danse macabre album wow wow wow wow wow a No1 album please the UK they totally deserve it 🎉🎉🎉happy birthday 🎉🎂🎉 Simon lebon 🎉🎉🎉
Listen to Chic “Good Times” for a start. Standard chicken scratch funky rhythm from late seventies. I didn’t think about Nile Rodgers playing influence being Brazilian but I will look into that..
@@jody8526937 Yes, most likely, I know this funk vibe from the legendary Chic. I referenced the Brazilian style because this sound and the beat in this specific song are very similar to the beat and groove of cavaquinho and it reminded me.
Duran Duran are a British national treasure…and I’m an American! 😂
Birmingham treasure being English and Brummie but sentiment is appreciated.
🙋♀️🇫🇮
I'm so glad Roger came back into the band...
Simon's voice makes us feel teens forever
Agree🙋♀️🇫🇮😁
Duran Duran were the first band I got into at age 13. I’m now 55 and they still sound great and look good for their age
mine too ❤️ I'm 53 now!!

Vocal backing tracks is almost as bad as lip syncing though...
Duran Duran and Aha.. Simon and Morten is a power balled I wanted to hear :) Yes let a man dream can't he
I Saw them when I was 15 took my 12yr old sister 7and the ragged tiger tour!!!AMAZING MEMORIES
Love the prominent bass line, so groovy and driving -- John killing it like the timeless legend that he is!!
Love his Adidas!
That Bass!!!
sounds really good!
@@Welshfire
I just cannot believe those guys from the 80's are still performing as they are, they have millions and they still want to entertain, God please bless them all
The Arts and Music matter. ❤
Just look at Rod Stewart Mick Jagger and Cliff Richard, they still performing despite their age.
Why quit when you love what you do?
When I saw this on The Graham Norton Show and heard Duran Duran sing, Black Moonlight, I thought, WHAT A SONG! I loved it so much that I started to boogie to it. Thanks Duran Duran. Fabulous song! 😁💃🏻❤
@@scottpeacock5492True...DD are spring chickens compared to those guys
This is better than I expected. When John Taylor can keep writing bass lines like this, they'll keep sounding great.
DD Never Stops Reinventing Themselves and still Sounding as Themselves.Genius ❤️🇬🇧🎸
They are like Bowie that way.
To be fair, this one’s got Nile Rogers written all over it 👊🏼
@yulaswift2439...Absolutely!
I don't think they sound as themselves.
How the heck they're reinventing anything? The sound is exactly the same for the last 25 years. Enlighten me please
Most under appreciated band on earth.
Timeless masters

Is Simon’s voice getting better and better as he ages, they sound great!!🔥🔥

This is a great track from the greatest band ever. But that backing singer Rachel..,....wow!!!
yeah...fell in love with her at the Tampa show last June...wow....indeed
One of my favorites band by far !!! When I listen Duran Duran, I'm automatically transported to my teenage life.
Nick looks so serious all the time. Bassist John still great and Simon still has a great voice.
Don’t forget Roger on drums and Dom on the guitar.
I was at the filming of this! Amazing!!
Who’s the backup singer in the long pants? She may be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
Well done, England's greatest new Romantics rock stars. The guitars, the bass, the keyboards, and everything works beautifully.
I was so excited to see them perform on the show. DD never disappoints. Fantastic song, instantly catchy. Talent, icons, LEGENDS.
ME TOO, I STILL WANNA MARRY SIMON LE BON♥🔮🌚🎤

Happy belated birthday, Simon darling!
Duran Duran + Nile Rodgers = 🔥
I was 12 when I first started following DD with the debut album....now 55 and still following the DD train that continues decade after decade!
yeah, me too. I wanted to be those guys when I was 12 (started drumming largely because of Roger) now I'm 55....still loving the tunes and the image
Same with me. I'm 55 now and back in the day I was one of their biggest fans...always wanted to play bass because of John 🤘
DD makes me feel like I am 20 again. So many great pieces of artistic mastery and each of them shines in their own right. Talented musicians and I loved them in the beginning and even more today. Happy birthday Simon! ❤

Nothing puts a smile on my face like Duran Duran does. Absolute perfection. Love the new album. IMO the best album of 2023.
Its great
Can't stop listening to this fantastic Song ❤ So catchy, one of their best 🎵🎹 and they had so many masterpieces.

Sounds like a Chic song. Good Times remixed a bit. Good song and Simons vocals are spot on. Makes me wonder?? Anyway love DD.
First time hearing , brilliant song
They are still amazing after 40 years, best wishes Dance Macabre From Turkey 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
The greatness of the band is proved by the fact of having back singers who were far from being born when the guys started their musical career
Saw you guys live first over 40 years ago and you’re still bloody awesome 👏
Saw them this year 🤩
