In my 40's....so 80's kid through and through. Best decade of my life(90's were awesome too). 2000's are....yeahhhhh....you already know. Where's my time machine? Someone please help.
Salute! You are the King of "The White Boy Dance"! Really, it's commonly called that in the Black community and I remember your dancing being one of my favorite parts of the video.
@@imogenjennings3992 I lived through the 1980s as I was born in September 1966 and it was really great time for music. At least up until early 1988. Because in 1988 the boy band era started with groups like Bros and New kids on the block and rap, hip hop and rave/acid house dominated the charts. But between 1980 and the end of 1987 the music really rocked!
"Purple Rain" by Prince and the Revolution spent 24 consecutive weeks at Number One. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" spent TWO weeks at Number One, in America according to Billboard 100 in 1984. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" went double platinum while "Purple Rain" sold more than 17 million. WHAM's "Make It Big" sold six times platinum, also released in 1984. I don't think Duran Duran dominated 1984 by a long shot. A great year nonetheless.
Why is it that once you start listening to these fire 80's hits, you end up binging on all 80's music for hours on RUclips? Nothing and I mean straight up nothing will ever dominate the music, culture and fads of the 80's! So blessed to have lived and experienced the enlightening 80's. This 54 year old will always be an 80's child!
I am 56 years old, a fan of Duran Duran since the 1st hour, an exceptional composition, a timeless song, a diamond in the rough, Duran Duran will always remain in my heart until the end of my days ❤❤❤❤❤🤍💛🧡🩷🩵💙💚
Duran Duran was also very popular in Japan around 1984. At that time, I liked Western music much more than Japanese music. This song was also special to me, and I even had a clipping of Duran Duran in my desk pad. I was so crazy about them that I felt embarrassed.
Was at that concert when they made this video. Best concert ever!!! Love Duran Duran! This group defined the 80s! Was totally in love with John Taylor!! ❤😊
Yes! It was the best time to be a teenager in my opinion. No cell phones. No internet. No social media. You had to actually make friends and spend time with them if you wanted to keep them. No way would I trade places with the teens today. They can keep their nonsense as far as I'm concerned.
Main photography for the video for "The Reflex" took place during the Seven and the Ragged Tiger tour at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario on 5 March 1984. The music video was directed by Russell Mulcahy.

So true. Duran Duran had a little funk in 'em. One of the reasons I like them so much. Pop music, but with a little Chic-like bass putting some hair on it. The 80s: _Lived 'em. Loved 'em. Miss 'em._
Here I am, almost 60 years old, dancing like crazy to "The Reflex", reliving my college days, when I used rock out with Duran Duran. I was in MAD LOVE with Simon Le Bon also. Beautiful memories ❤❤❤ !!!!
Duran Duran caused me depression. I saw the end of serious rock with these Brit fake asses. Hungry like the wolf made me throw up. I knew the end was at the door
After all these years, a masterpiece of pop songwriting such as this one never gets old! All 5 of them were really on top of their game here! Killer grooves between John's popping bass lines and Roger's ever steady beat. Cutting edge synth pads & those 'steel drum' samples from Nick and his Fairlight, killer cut and thrust power chords and rhythmically tight pluckings from Andy's guitars, topped off by a seemingly impossible melody ( ... And lyrics!) from Simon.... And here it is. My fav Duran Duran song ( together with Ordinary World!)... ever! And I was hooked in 1984. And thankfully so too! Happy Anniversary Duran Duran! Thank you for always being there!
Man Duran Duran was the greatest 80's bands EVER!!!!!!!! I know I've said it before but I can't help myself. DD gave us some of the best and most unforgettable songs of our lives.
1984 I was 14 years old, I enjoyed my adolescence to the fullest and Duran Duran was a fundamental part of this. ,,,,, THE. REFLEX !!! greetings from Mexico City
Greetings from the USA, I was 8 and came to the USA when I was 18, and absolutely loved my childhood in Mexico. When rich people ruled in Mexico and not the narco!
In the future when anyone asks you 'what were the Eighties all about?" all you need to do is show them this video. Classic song with classic Eighties visuals. This is truly a Watershed Moment.
@@massivelegend5792 I don't listen to Duran Duran weak songs ....which were plentiful on every album that followed RIO.......the Reflex was a horrible songs and so was UNION OF THE SNAKE....u need to re-evaluate your taste in music if u think those were 2 of DD's best songs
I'm a metalhead for most of my life but I will forever love 80s music that I grew up on. I was showing my 9 year old daughter this at breakfast and explaining just how big of a band DD was and that before RUclips, you sat and waited with a tape recorder by the radio for the song to come on or in front of the TV just waiting for the videos. It almost seems unfathomable how we did it because we live in such an instant gratification society but I think that it taught us discipline and appreciation for things for sure. I remember it like it was yesterday. These guys are actually an incredibly talented band too. John Taylor is a sick bassist.
Me too man. Metal and hip hop. But if it’s got a good bassline, I’m in. And these guys and others from this decade had that in droves. I also totally agree with what you said about instant gratification. I remember there was some George Michael video in the very early 90’s. Tyra Banks was in it, walking down a catwalk runway, nipple tassels on. We thought she was the hottest thing on the planet. So we sat around for like another 5 hours until the video came on again. We were like 10. 🤣 Lots of crap music in that span of time. But because of that day, I ended up going out and buying Check Your Head with my allowance money.
I'm also a metalhead, probably because of DD. Before, I couldn't recognize different instruments in a song. I learned to differentiate by listening to a lot of DD, and especially discovering the bass was like a revelation. And the next step was metal naturally, as my ears were trained for it thanks to DD. Also I became a bassist later on thanks to John Taylor, and still to this day his bass lines amaze me.
@@jatkins47 which is totally wrong, rap music is pathetic, rap music has no heart, no fire, no energy . The 80s was the golden age of pop music which died a long time ago
@@christinecolgate7884 What has Duran Duran got to do with that? Please don’t push psychovid fear porn or your OCD habits on to others. Especially on a thread that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with that psyop. I came here to get away from that sh!t. I suggest you take Simon Le Bons advice and sell your TV set.
Same for Me, remember hear this song in my first car in 1984-85 an old Mercury Cyclone 1970, loud loud to shake my front windshield mirror lol, WHAT A SONG!!.
2021, This song changed my life in 1983, let me tell you, I can listen to this song a billion times and it never gets old. Wanna clean the house I go into turbo mode, wash dishes turbo mode. This song is like crack, my all time favorite by far.
J'AI 60 ANS ET JE SUIS UN GRAND FAN DE LA MUSIQUE DES ANNÉES 80.POUR L'AMOUR DE LA MUSIQUE,UN MILLIARDS DE FOIS:MERCIS À TOUS LES ARTISTES DE CETTE DÉCENNIE.
Duran Duran could have been the biggest band in the world. And still be today. They changed their formula, released poor quality songs, and that's how history went... But from 1981 to 1985, boy, they were kings.
@2:44 that moment when this young woman looks up… immortalized forever, in this video. She’s (hopefully) a grandmother now, still vibrant and full of life but moving on into her twilight years… but she can still look back and see her young self, even if just for a moment, and remember what it was like to be young and vibrant and beautiful… and at a friggin DURAN DURAN concert when they were in their PRIME!!!
39butchy1 I remember going to see Duran Duran 1984 in Leeds with sissy and Katherine. I had posters all over my wall - loved Simon Le Bon and John Taylor but my sister used to push me out the way and demanded I liked Simon and not John..... because she liked John Taylor and Roger lol 😂
Hey, Meadowlands Girl I bet our rooms looked exactly alike. Wall to wall Duran Duran. There wasn't a spot left and considered doing the ceiling. It was the only room left. I would have LOVED to have seen that '84 concert. Unfortunately, I just started getting into them at that time. That just goes to show us the power of MTV and videos. Seeing The Reflex and being absolutely mesmerized (no joke). It was full steam ahead and Duran Duran became my life. I always thought Nick was cool and did my best to emulate him. Clothes, hair, the works. Minus the makeup. I tried it once and thought, nah. He does it much better than I ever could. Thanks for your comment. 😁 Duran Duran forever!
melvin c did you know my motorbike friend? Oh know probably Eastbourne sent you 🤧🙌🏻🙇🏻♀️🙇🏼♀️ sending healing thoughts. Hopefully you are feeling better since your visit to the reiki rooms!!!!!
From 2:44-3:15 for me represents the absolute peak of Duran Duran mania. I remember seeing this video for the first time in 1984 and remembering how big they were. Seeing the crowd reaction starting at 2:44 brings back that fond memory of this band at this time. Loved it then, love it now.
If I could relive one year in my life it would be 1984. Such a magical time with the best year of music ever. Classic after classic was born that year.
Interesting...George Orwell had bad premonitions about 1984. Police state and all. Turned out the opposite. And, Berlin wall fell amd communist Russia dissolved in 89. The police state came later, in the mid 90s but especially after 9-11.
DUDEEEE! 1984 was TOTALLY my year. So many firsts: first full year away from him, first gf I was truly mad for, first car, first real job (USCG). And saw a bunch of concerts (but not DD). It was pretty fricking epic. It’s funny, I’m a metal and hard rock guy but I totally dig DD too. Go figure.
The very first time I heard or saw Duran Duran was with this video, when it first aired on MTV. I was in fifth grade and visiting a friend, and I had kind of an awakening. I grew up not being allowed to listen to secular music, so I'd never heard anything quite like this. The music was WOW, and they were the most beautiful people I'd ever seen at that point in time. I've been a fan ever since. I recently came across my old Notorious CD and have spent the last several days listening to and watching everything I can find online. Such good memories, such great music. Thanks.
My girlfriend was listening to this back then and I was a rocker listening to the new Ozzy album and Motley Crue! Today I still listen to metal (old metal) and now I can enjoy pop music from back then as well! Better then whatever so called music of 2020!
Una bendición escuchar tan buena música que rememora nuestra juventud y volvemos a sentir las emociones de nuestra adolescencia,gracias por compartirla, Duran,duran saludos y bendiciones
👉 *Saw this SO many times in 1984!* I loved it so much I must have seen a thousand time. I knew exactly when Simon does the epic jump 1:20, John does "the look" 1:37, and Nick does his shoulder thing 1:48, and the fan who just gets it 2:59!💗
Yes your right! , Simon jumped off in stage alot back then.. CARELESS MEMORIES - ARENA he jumped off the stage like 10 feet in the air and landed and did like 10 spins!. It was crazy!. If you didn't see it you should check it out!. These guys were a force to be reckoned with back the that's for sure!
Watching this video and I am very envious of this crowd. Why? because I wish I were in this audience. I absolutely love this group! They have such talent and incredible energy. I was singing along with them. And yes, they are good-looking. Go Duran Duran!
These guys were on a roll back then. Their album was HUGE! And quite a good looking bunch, I had a crush on John Taylor loved his cheek bones. And the make up didn't hurt either! 🙆😁
Está canción junto con el vídeo son pura vida, siento que al verlo o escucharlo te inyectaran una gran dosis de pura adrenalina,de energía,es ponerte pilas y alcalinas todavía,es pasión es simplemente DURAN DURAN.
I took care of one of my favorite residents who was British(in Ohio Of all places) and we use to always listen to Duran Duran as my sweet Astrid(her name of course) would recall why British music was so much "better" than "your Yankee music"...rip my beautiful girl!! U will always be missed!
EVEN IF DID NOT LIKE DURAN DURAN AT THE TIME YOU LIKED THE SONG AND VIDEO. 80s WAS SOOO DAMN GREAT. LAST GREAT DECADE FOR MUSIC AS A WHOLE. THE ARTIST, THE VIDEOS WERE AMAZING. JUST GOING TO THE RECOR STORE BACK THEN WAS FUN. THESE KIDS NO A DAYS MISSED A GREAT TIME.
The 80’s have the best music that has ever been made! I am so glad I was able to live it growing up! You name it Rock, Pop, Rap and Hair Metal no other decade will have music like this! Long live the 80’s!
I’m 31 and just getting into Duran Duran. I love how distinct and fresh their sound is. Their songs feel so BIG and fill an empty room with color. His voice is so iconic and recognizable, I wish I could have experienced the 80’s!
The world will never understand, this era of genius... Unless you were there.❤
Exactly, so much talent around then.
Amen

Cutting edge synth pads & those 'steel drum' samples from Nick and his Fairlight, killer cut and thrust power chords and rhythmically tight pluckings from Andy's guitars, topped off by a seemingly impossible melody ( ... And lyrics!) from Simon.... And here it is. My fav Duran Duran song ( together with Ordinary World!)... ever! And I was hooked in 1984. And thankfully so too! Happy Anniversary Duran Duran! Thank you for always being there!

Fuck! You really know Duran Duran. Teach me
my faves are Girls on film the xxx version of course. and Planet Earth!!
100% spot on mate x
Couldn't have said it better, what a glorious time !!
Man Duran Duran was the greatest 80's bands EVER!!!!!!!! I know I've said it before but I can't help myself. DD gave us some of the best and most unforgettable songs of our lives.

I am also a big fan
I guess every generation thinks their music is best. But sorry, there's NO comparison to the music of the 80's!
John and Andy Taylor Don't get enough credit for being some Serious Hit Makers for Duran Duran and others in the 80's.
My sister had posters of John Taylor ,and the singer out of a,ha, up on her wall back then,lol.

@@mikekaraoke That's the man, 😊.
Oh I think they did.
Agree...awesome bass and guitar combo too
1984 I was 14 years old, I enjoyed my adolescence to the fullest and Duran Duran was a fundamental part of this. ,,,,, THE. REFLEX !!! greetings from Mexico City
Yes, I was a teenager when I enjoyed Duran Duran and A-Ha. So much memories! from Seoul, Korea.
Greetings from the USA, I was 8 and came to the USA when I was 18, and absolutely loved my childhood in Mexico. When rich people ruled in Mexico and not the narco!
In April of 1981 I became a teen. So my teen years was the 80's.
Same here! I was 14 in 1984! Duran Duran were everywhere! 😊
I was 12 and I love this msuic
Best thing about this era... No cell phones
Yeah and if you didn’t have technology now you’d not be listening to it

It was better 👍🏻⚘️🇫🇷
...everyone just dancing, screaming and having fun.
In the future when anyone asks you 'what were the Eighties all about?" all you need to do is show them this video. Classic song with classic Eighties visuals. This is truly a Watershed Moment.
Amen to that brother
One of the greatest bands to come out of the 80's.
Great band.....but this song sucks
rebjiii why you listening to it then
@@massivelegend5792 I don't listen to Duran Duran weak songs ....which were plentiful on every album that followed RIO.......the Reflex was a horrible songs and so was UNION OF THE SNAKE....u need to re-evaluate your taste in music if u think those were 2 of DD's best songs
You know it, man!
@@rebjiii its literally just a song get a grip and stop taking it so seriously lmao
I'm a metalhead for most of my life but I will forever love 80s music that I grew up on. I was showing my 9 year old daughter this at breakfast and explaining just how big of a band DD was and that before RUclips, you sat and waited with a tape recorder by the radio for the song to come on or in front of the TV just waiting for the videos. It almost seems unfathomable how we did it because we live in such an instant gratification society but I think that it taught us discipline and appreciation for things for sure.
I remember it like it was yesterday. These guys are actually an incredibly talented band too. John Taylor is a sick bassist.
@Cj Johnson yes!
Me too man. Metal and hip hop. But if it’s got a good bassline, I’m in. And these guys and others from this decade had that in droves. I also totally agree with what you said about instant gratification. I remember there was some George Michael video in the very early 90’s. Tyra Banks was in it, walking down a catwalk runway, nipple tassels on. We thought she was the hottest thing on the planet. So we sat around for like another 5 hours until the video came on again. We were like 10. 🤣 Lots of crap music in that span of time. But because of that day, I ended up going out and buying Check Your Head with my allowance money.
I'm also a metalhead, probably because of DD. Before, I couldn't recognize different instruments in a song. I learned to differentiate by listening to a lot of DD, and especially discovering the bass was like a revelation. And the next step was metal naturally, as my ears were trained for it thanks to DD. Also I became a bassist later on thanks to John Taylor, and still to this day his bass lines amaze me.
I'm a metal listener too and I love Duran Duran as well.
Metal fan here also but can't help but appreciate the talent these guys had. John Taylor's bass work is excellent.
I'm 50 now and I wish if I could go back to the 80's
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK TO 80
Man, the 80's......wish I could go back too!
The good parts

Rappers come first apparently.
@@jatkins47 which is totally wrong, rap music is pathetic, rap music has no heart, no fire, no energy . The 80s was the golden age of pop music which died a long time ago
I totally agree!
@@jatkins47 what does that even mean.. what do rappers have to do with this. They’re a totally different style. ??
This video is the most 80's thing ever.

Please don’t push psychovid fear porn or your OCD habits on to others. Especially on a thread that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with that psyop. I came here to get away from that sh!t.
I suggest you take Simon Le Bons advice and sell your TV set.
80s genius!!! We were so lucky to be part of it! #80sgreatness #thewonderyears ❤😢
I was always so extremely happy when they played this song on television. It still gives me such a happy feeling to see it.
Me too! I remember watching MTV for hours, just hoping it would come on...
Me too! I used to have a poster of Duran Duran
The jump at 0:20 sets it off. This song is one of the greatest.
Love this song still after all these years💖👏
This was the song that introduced me to Duran Duran!
Same for Me, remember hear this song in my first car in 1984-85 an old Mercury Cyclone 1970, loud loud to shake my front windshield mirror lol, WHAT A SONG!!.

l love this song of my best boys band of the 80's!!! Duran Duran FOREVER !!!😍🤩💖💖💝👌👌💃💃🙏🙏🙏😋😋😋😋😋😋

I was at this concert, this was filmed in Toronto in 1984😊
I believe you but we need evidence
It's true filmed in Toronto my coworker was there in fact you can see her in front of the two boys dancing.
Me encantan !!!! No importa los años y los ritmos de moda grande Duran Duran 🤞🇨🇱
Nada superará los ochentas y perdón a la gente pero considero que la música de los 80s es mejor que el reggaetón 🤘🇨🇺
thank you❤️^ - ^
Me encantas este grupo es lo q amo

Lo mejor d lo mejor Durán Durán!!!! 🙌💯
2021, This song changed my life in 1983, let me tell you, I can listen to this song a billion times and it never gets old. Wanna clean the house I go into turbo mode, wash dishes turbo mode. This song is like crack, my all time favorite by far.

Duran Duran could have been the biggest band in the world. And still be today. They changed their formula, released poor quality songs, and that's how history went... But from 1981 to 1985, boy, they were kings.
100% right.
The 80s called...they said we can all come back! 💖
I bloody wish ❤
@@grahamcheesman2252 😍Oh yeah!

I miss the luxury of concerts! People were so happy and together and it was so much fun. I hope we can have this again!!
Love love this song!!!!
The people of the world are to busy taking drugs, or fighting to come together anymore.
Don't let the tyrants stop you with their "get rid of Trump" bioweapon
They are the epitome of 80's music. Love Duran Duran.
@2:44 that moment when this young woman looks up… immortalized forever, in this video. She’s (hopefully) a grandmother now, still vibrant and full of life but moving on into her twilight years… but she can still look back and see her young self, even if just for a moment, and remember what it was like to be young and vibrant and beautiful… and at a friggin DURAN DURAN concert when they were in their PRIME!!!
The Reflex is where it all started for me in the summer of 1984. I'm still a big fan of them and always will be.
39butchy1 I remember going to see Duran Duran 1984 in Leeds with sissy and Katherine. I had posters all over my wall - loved Simon Le Bon and John Taylor but my sister used to push me out the way and demanded I liked Simon and not John..... because she liked John Taylor and Roger lol 😂
Hey, Meadowlands Girl
I bet our rooms looked exactly alike. Wall to wall Duran Duran. There wasn't a spot left and considered doing the ceiling. It was the only room left. I would have LOVED to have seen that '84 concert. Unfortunately, I just started getting into them at that time. That just goes to show us the power of MTV and videos. Seeing The Reflex and being absolutely mesmerized (no joke). It was full steam ahead and Duran Duran became my life. I always thought Nick was cool and did my best to emulate him. Clothes, hair, the works. Minus the makeup. I tried it once and thought, nah. He does it much better than I ever could.
Thanks for your comment. 😁
Duran Duran forever!
39butchy1 and what a great summer that was was 84 and 85😀
melvin c did you know my motorbike friend? Oh know probably Eastbourne sent you 🤧🙌🏻🙇🏻♀️🙇🏼♀️ sending healing thoughts. Hopefully you are feeling better since your visit to the reiki rooms!!!!!
I was 14 in 84 and miss those days. Summer of 85 still ranks #1 for me though.
Nobody is better than Duran Duran.
So many bands are
This was the best era and MTV I'm so happy I grew up in this time.
You mean when MTV actually played music
You ain't neva lie....
This was a golden time period. It will never be like this again.
From 2:44-3:15 for me represents the absolute peak of Duran Duran mania. I remember seeing this video for the first time in 1984 and remembering how big they were. Seeing the crowd reaction starting at 2:44 brings back that fond memory of this band at this time. Loved it then, love it now.
Yes, the reaction was very Beatles-esque!
I love the way Simon LeBon dances 🕺
suddendee Simon Lebon dances cool yes i agree.
Yes simon had some grooves in this video!.. dancing around the red screen there. He jumps off the stage at 1:21 .. it was insane!. talented guy.
If I could relive one year in my life it would be 1984. Such a magical time with the best year of music ever. Classic after classic was born that year.
Interesting...George Orwell had bad premonitions about 1984. Police state and all. Turned out the opposite. And, Berlin wall fell amd communist Russia dissolved in 89. The police state came later, in the mid 90s but especially after 9-11.
DUDEEEE! 1984 was TOTALLY my year. So many firsts: first full year away from him, first gf I was truly
mad for, first car, first real job (USCG). And saw a bunch of concerts (but not DD). It was pretty fricking epic. It’s funny, I’m a metal and hard rock guy but I totally dig DD too. Go figure.
Duran Duran got me through bad times ❤thankyou so much ! 2024
British Singers are one of the best singers in the world .
I really Mark Knopfler’s and Al Stewart’s voices. I also really like Klaus Meine’s voice, a German, singing in English!
Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant and Boy George too!!! All three are excellent singers too. ❤❤❤.
Phil Collins, Tears For Fears, and so many many many more
@@brigittebenjamin9528TFF for sure!
Of the 80s especially.
The very first time I heard or saw Duran Duran was with this video, when it first aired on MTV. I was in fifth grade and visiting a friend, and I had kind of an awakening. I grew up not being allowed to listen to secular music, so I'd never heard anything quite like this. The music was WOW, and they were the most beautiful people I'd ever seen at that point in time. I've been a fan ever since. I recently came across my old Notorious CD and have spent the last several days listening to and watching everything I can find online. Such good memories, such great music. Thanks.
My girlfriend was listening to this back then and I was a rocker listening to the new Ozzy album and Motley Crue! Today I still listen to metal (old metal) and now I can enjoy pop music from back then as well! Better then whatever so called music of 2020!
Una bendición escuchar tan buena música que rememora nuestra juventud y volvemos a sentir las emociones de nuestra adolescencia,gracias por compartirla, Duran,duran saludos y bendiciones
👉 *Saw this SO many times in 1984!*
I loved it so much I must have seen a thousand time. I knew exactly
when Simon does the epic jump 1:20, John does "the look" 1:37, and
Nick does his shoulder thing 1:48, and the fan who just gets it 2:59!💗
Yes your right! , Simon jumped off in stage alot back then.. CARELESS MEMORIES - ARENA he jumped off the stage like 10 feet in the air and landed and did like 10 spins!. It was crazy!. If you didn't see it you should check it out!. These guys were a force to be reckoned with back the that's for sure!
I love Roger at 3:29
Watching this video and I am very envious of this crowd. Why? because I wish I were in this audience. I absolutely love this group! They have such talent and incredible energy. I was singing along with them. And yes, they are good-looking. Go Duran Duran!
I wish I was grown then
These guys were on a roll back then. Their album was HUGE! And quite a good looking bunch, I had a crush on John Taylor loved his cheek bones. And the make up didn't hurt either! 🙆😁
80's music and style was the best decade ever!! Crisp, clean music that was upbeat and energizing. I wish I can go back to the 80's again! LOL
when u get my delorean are you in? hee hee
Me too so I could sell drugs
Don't care what anyone says. These guys were so cool. Great musicians and LeBon is such a good front man

FABULOUS
Fellow EMI alumni The Beatles and QUEEN want to have a word with you.
2024 still absolutely incredible
They were so far ahead of their time. Definitely underrated as far as talent goes.
Underrated? You didn't grow up in the 80s did you?😂🙂🙂
Imagine calling them underrated. So embarrassing. The Beatles and Stones are underrated too.
@@eriklarson9137 Hey guys. Have you heard of the new band called Duran Duran?
Hi I recommend a song that's called 'The bond Villain' By Robert Nix
Está canción junto con el vídeo son pura vida, siento que al verlo o escucharlo te inyectaran una gran dosis de pura adrenalina,de energía,es ponerte pilas y alcalinas todavía,es pasión es simplemente DURAN DURAN.
Getting high on music my imagination tells genie my next babysitter...salute
Levantan hasta un muerto..este ritmo.!! This great!! 💥🔥🖤🥳🙌
The energy of this concert is palpable
The Reflex Is a beautiful song has the rhythm of the 80s, it transmits all the joy that was lived at that time, it's something great! 😍
I took care of one of my favorite residents who was British(in Ohio
Of all places) and we use to always listen to Duran Duran as my sweet Astrid(her name of course) would recall why British music was so much "better" than "your Yankee music"...rip my beautiful girl!! U will always be missed!
The 80's will always burn bright in my soul FOREVER!!! I'm 50 and still live a twenty year olds life but a bit more experienced and wiser. 😎
You gotta love that 80’s music
48 here!! 80's still burning in my soul !

Count me in too!
EVEN IF DID NOT LIKE DURAN DURAN AT THE TIME YOU LIKED THE SONG AND VIDEO. 80s WAS SOOO DAMN GREAT. LAST GREAT DECADE FOR MUSIC AS A WHOLE. THE ARTIST, THE VIDEOS WERE AMAZING. JUST GOING TO THE RECOR STORE BACK THEN WAS FUN. THESE KIDS NO A DAYS MISSED A GREAT TIME.
The 80’s have the best music that has ever been made! I am so glad I was able to live it growing up! You name it Rock, Pop, Rap and Hair Metal no other decade will have music like this! Long live the 80’s!
I’m 31 and just getting into Duran Duran. I love how distinct and fresh their sound is. Their songs feel so BIG and fill an empty room with color. His voice is so iconic and recognizable, I wish I could have experienced the 80’s!
They owned the airwaves.....still the best band of the 80's imho....
Hi 👋,yes yes it's true, 👍🙂🇧🇪
I'll always be a Durani today tomorrow and forever. Great band very unappreciated. One of the best from England
