What Simon said is so true and an example of the way girls and women's opinions had been pushed aside as irrelevant, you ask any female Duran fan past or present what the most important aspect of the band is and they will say the music. It's always been that way and that's what the hip indie establishment never realised about Duran and their fans is that the music mattered. It's why Duran are still going strong heading into 2018 because us fans are always looking forward and anticipating the next album. Can't wait!! 😎
JT, you need not be worried if we love this record-- I know I do, and I've been following you since 1984. Paper Gods is second to none. I did miss Nick for the Irvine Meadows show tho, I hope everything is OK back home.
Funny and insightful interview. Four decades later, DD outlasted their critics AND will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Fame (2022)! Simon Le Bon: “The validity that counts to me is those kids standing out there in the car park. You sell one single record and it means 100 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” “The [music critics establishment in the 80s] was dominated by… angry young men who had their idea of what an entertainer should be. We didn’t fall into that category and we were liked by girls… [which] made them jealous and we definitely suffered from that. You know what, we are still around and they aren’t.”
I was a duran fan in the US in the 80's and dressed New Wave was called every homophobic word in the book, Now those same people are like New Wave was awesome, What a bunch of posers!! New Wave / Romantic FOREVER!
@@JOHNNYSGIRL1960 He was Catholic until he went to rehab in 1995. Then he found his Higher Power in the program but I wouldn't be surprised if he's still a Catholic deep inside and has a rosary at hand.
Tené cuidado hay una persona que se estás haciendo pasa por John y mi me lo ha echo y una pena por lo al miriamos tanto por se ve que una persona y mi me a querido sacar dinero 😢💔
F*!k to black tie - too right Mr le Bon! Mr Tony Parsons? UKIP supporting author, who's really not that intelligent , thinks he's hard (I'm from the same area as him & he's really not) and has got the most nasal whine ever to come out of Essex -so he'll never be able to sing in tune, let alone in time.
We always loved you John. Thank you for inspiring other artists and me. You are the real deal.

Best voice and bass lines
Bravo Simon vi meritate tutto il successo che avete.
Thanks, for all fine words and motivations !
Its kind of sweet and dorky how Simon feels like he has to put his hand up to talk
Well said, these guys get a lot of stick but even the people who dislike them can hum all of their hits, that says it all imo.
you're still around and they aren't.

Double D" cool man .....!
Is that a mood ring on Simons pinky?
Is John Taylor wearing rosary beads or tasbih on his left hand?
He's not Catholic so it's not rosary beads. But I have no idea what the beads are for!!!
@@JOHNNYSGIRL1960 Looks like a tasbih but he is not Muslim.
@@JOHNNYSGIRL1960 He was Catholic until he went to rehab in 1995. Then he found his Higher Power in the program but I wouldn't be surprised if he's still a Catholic deep inside and has a rosary at hand.
Shout out to Bryan Ferry from John.

No one loves this album, release reportage with Andy Taylor, the original guitarist. Stop this crappy music since Red Carpet Massacre.
You'd think someone would leak it but me thinks they'd get a call from Ibiza.
It charted at number 5 in the UK and number 10 in the US. Clearly people do like the album!
