bianchi1885 I loved them a lot as I grew up, they aren't much older then me and there are many songs that I hold close to my heart. Then I moved on a bit but I still come back frequently. I still listen to them at least once a day. So now my granddaughter who is 2 listens with me and loves them.
My 20 year old daughter and I are going to see them next month. I have turned her on to my music and she has turned me on to hers. Talk about bridging the generation gap!
Simon LeBon has carved into the history of modern music because of his unique vocal sound. No one sounds like him! Nick Rhodes is creative and thoughtful and philosophical in this approach & ability to compose and arrange. It’s all fabulous for the listeners!
You never ever had filler stuff for me as far as I am concerned. The music always touches me in my soul. That is how I got into your music in the first place. I was 16 and now I'm 50. he new stuff is as good as the older and I love it all!
I met Nick, Simon and Warren after a gig on the Greatest and Latest Tour . Nick was so down to earth ... we talked about all their music with him .... a real star... who appreciates his fans .. great memories
I used to go to the Rum Runner in Birmingham every week in the early 80s so I used to see the band around quite a lot, even chatted to them a few times, so it was fascinating to see them evolve from local band into the global phenomenon that they became. Good to see Nick Rhodes still has his little black and yellow EDP Wasp synthesizer behind him in the studio - it was cheap and plasticky but created some great sounds which suddenly made electronic music creation possible for more people and was probably instrumental in kick starting Nick's exploration of sound. I had one back in the day, but I pushed it too far and it's sadly no more :(
simons melodies n lyrics,nicks key parts,the bands parts...make duran...thats what makes a band ...interaction..duran duran are very good at playing together
Love Duran Duran and their music and videos a long life fan from 1980 and forever, got great respect for them as they didnt get it easy they have great passion for what they do and endless unique talent Simon's agreat song writer and doesnt get the credit he deserves, Simon and Nick working endlessly for keeping the band Duran together other bands would have called it a day, that's why I have got great respect for them nearly 40yrs in the business brilliant they should be in the music hall off fame why arent they...........don't you and Duranies agree!!!!!!!
I like Simon, but I could listen to Nick....All. Day. Long. He's always been my favorite and frankly, was grossly underused in their early career videos.
Simons “I’m so glad it was us who had that success” reminds me of Queens Roger Taylor saying “we were always popular, and that got right up some peoples noses”, a jibe at the “too cool” music press who constantly slated them, all through their career. DD are much the same position, they’ve always been popular, they’ve always been able to sell out arena tours, they’ve always been hated by some sections of the music press.
+kittyCat Furbabies Simon was NOT AT ALL Arrogant in Niagara Falls last week. IN FACT it was SIMON AND NICK who BOTH SIGNED my album..John just SNUBBED me. EVEN their travelling band AND singers who was with Duran Duran shook peoples'hands..AND made eye contact..John needs a refresher course on COMMUNICATION WITH his audience.
I got a smile from Nick when I was sitting up close at a concert years ago; I was only a teen and nearly passed out.:) I can honestly say I've never heard one bad thing about the man through all these years, what a total sweetheart!
I've always wondered if there was any friction between the two primary song writers of the band. I'm glad they have figured out how to work together over just separating and going solo like many bands seem to do.
David Klecker They write the music as a collaborative effort. Simon writes most lyrics after they have a full rough draft of music. Then the tweaking begins to make things fit better.
@@tracymccowan4232 Well it's his band. So that's not a surprise. Simon works well with Nick as we have seen over time and they have perfect chemistry. It is always curious to me how they come up with the "tone" of the album. Is that everyone, or was that Nick primarily.
Meeting You with a view to a point of actually saying nothing whilst looking like i have said something deep and meaningful......We are so glad to just be here..! Buy the album!!!
THAT'S THE ADVENTIGE OF BEING OLDER, NOW YOU LAUGH BOUT THE REDICULUS ATTITUDE AND HOW GREAT YOU WERE 😁 now you don't have to prove nothing on anyone, 🙌🙌👌👌
I can guarantee that I am one of a very few people who will use the names King Crimson and Duran Duran in the same sentence and say that I like both bands!
My music taste is quite subversive but DD will always be in my top 5. Actually it’s not that subversive it’s just not Coldplay and their ilk. I do think the bands you grew up with stay with you forever. I bought DD’s first album in 81 age 13 and they’ve remained with me through thick and thin. They’re a very clever band.
Not sure what she is talking about as far as staying away from politics, they've always covered aspects of life in much the same way Paper gods does. Its just Simon's lyrics are seldom obvious and make you reach for meaning yourself most of the time.
She refers to the fact that they never played what I call "the Bono move": pretending to be involved in social causes and activism. In fact, in the 80s a lot of people used to mock them calling them a "Tory band", mostly because they never pretended to be "men of the people". John and Simon have said it many times: they never had a political agenda and just wanted to have fun and make people around them have fun too.
Hey guys i follow you from the very beginning your music is always fantastic!!! Not only i like duran duran but i like aldo power station , Arcadia and Roxy music of corurse . Simon and j.t. are wonderful speakers . Do you know what I mean? When you introduced the roxy music to the audience of rock'n roll hall of fame you deserve a round of applause 'cause you din' t forget anything I mean Brian Ferry Brian Eno and vis opinion about the debut of velvet underground and last but not least the influence roxy music hand on the sex pistols and the punk scene in General. To summarize the concept to the Max you make me feel mighty Real like the hit of Sylvester. Sleep on Boeing duran duran the greatest band in the world
I've always been a huge Duran Duran fan, but it's not the same without Andy Taylor. We may never know what really happened, but I don't think they treated him fairly.
I am with you. He might not be the easiest person to work with, but the other 4 and the management forgot he was not the ugly duckling among fans. As far as I am concerned, since he was dismissed in 2006 I have never bought a ticket concert for DD again.
DD wrote hundreds of great songs, and find me a weak point on most of earlier production - that would be really hard to do!! "Looking forward" has however its negative sides, because for the 1st time on Duran Duran album i'm not convinced about most songs...
Nick ha detto che quando le cose si fanno politicamente oscure loro creano canzoni di evasione.Questa frase di qualche anno fa è terribilmente attuale ed è per questa loro capacità di precorrere i tempi in tutti i settori che sono una band a prova di anni .Questa è anche la ragione per la quale li ho sempre amati
@@chrisklecker That's what happens when you change your hair color every other day when you're in your 20s. By the time you hit middle age your hair is so fried it won't hold any color but blond, and it has the consistency of straw. He's lucky he has any of it left.
I have loved Duran Duran since 1980. That said, the last DD real album was Arcadia's "So Red the Rose." Everything else has been chasing ghosts of fame past and ephemeral hopes of striking another hot iron. I'd love the opportunity to work with these lads, if anything but to show them who they used to be in the hope they'd find a path for a proper DD album in the future.
Duran Duran completely sold out half-way through the recording of the album "Rio": their BEST album is the FIRST one self-titled "Duran Duran" from their post punk New Romantic phase between '78 and early '82!
You know what..I am sending ANOTHER comment after reading other comments on here. WOW! I thought I was the ONLY ONE who noticed that John was ignoring his audience..but I am reading that A LOT of Duran Duran fans notice this too. Looks fade John..REMEMBER THAT. You CAN'T rely on your looks forever..YOU'RE HEADING FOR THE BIG 60 REALLY SOON. I think Simon AND Nick NEEDS a NEW bass player..a HOT 20 year old..not an old fart neglecting his audience.
April Dannette I met all of them in 2011. They were all super sweet except for John. He was very standoffish, so I didn’t even try to get a pic with him. Simon was such a sweetheart, and Roger was just as nice as he seems.
Why did she even mentioned "The Reflex"? It's one of the worst songs by DD courtesy of producer Nile Rodgers from Chic in order to conquer the USA top charts with commercial pop CRAP music!

I've always loved Nick Rhodes and I still love him now. Been a fan since the '80s and will always be a Duranie till my last breath.
He comes across to me as being so intelligent and handsome.

Me too!!!…. had to keep this secret from all my beer guzzling metal loving buddies
Simon LeBon has carved into the history of modern music because of his unique vocal sound. No one sounds like him!
Nick Rhodes is creative and thoughtful and philosophical in this approach & ability to compose and arrange. It’s all fabulous for the listeners!
I’m a 24 year old who loves heavy metal, and Duran Duran are one of my fave bands, mainly thanks to my parents!
I will always love Duran Duran (almost 50)
I'm 50 and do indeed still love their music.
I'm 52 and STILL a Duranie~ Cheers from Hong Kong .
DD is still hitting it, talented musicians. Admit it folks!
Congratulations, Nick! I've followed your career from the beginning of Duran Duran. I've always admired your style.
You never ever had filler stuff for me as far as I am concerned. The music always touches me in my soul. That is how I got into your music in the first place. I was 16 and now I'm 50. he new stuff is as good as the older and I love it all!
I love Nick and Simon! They are so talented and charismatic!❤❤
It is my dream to meet the members of Duran, especially Nick!!!! Great interview!
The only member I've met so far is Nile Rodgers!
I met Nick, Simon and Warren after a gig on the Greatest and Latest Tour . Nick was so down to earth ... we talked about all their music with him .... a real star... who appreciates his fans .. great memories
I want to meet Nick too!
been a fan since 81....yes I'm in my mid 40s......and I still love these guys
Patti Padgett same here Patti there my life band x
Patti Padgett same😁
Man, if I could spend a day making a track with Nick Rhodes and actually hang out with him. Dream come true.

Nick Rhodes would be a great Voice-Over Artist !!
He has a bit part in the South Park movie. But yeah, I would love to hear him narrate something.
@A.C. B. ART - aww! I’m sure!
simons melodies n lyrics,nicks key parts,the bands parts...make duran...thats what makes a band ...interaction..duran duran are very good at playing together
I'm still a huge DD fan 40 years strong. 2 gigs this summer in UK 🇬🇧 got my tickets ready
Simon seriously is an underrated lyricist.
VERY underrated band.....
Nick and Simon are my favourite members of Duran Duran

I like Simon, but I could listen to Nick....All. Day. Long. He's always been my favorite and frankly, was grossly underused in their early career videos.
Nick is my favorite.
Mine too
Brothers will argue, but in the end battle in solidarity!
Oh my! Simon's blue eyes.....
I have to say this band only gets better with age. I only just recently heard the brilliant All You Need Is Now....
Love Nick's smile and laugh. It's so beautiful!

Roz a Canadian I can totally see Simon and Nick being the nicest. They never take themselves too seriously in interviews or onstage.

Megan Hussey ask Andy Taylor what he thinks of him😉
Awesome band with fantastic music.
Mmmm, still love Nick, Duranie since 83! Attended both o2 concerts this year! 13 th time seeing them in concert. Each time an amazing experience
Great interview!
Thanks!
Still miss Andy ..... A complete DD is one of the best things ever musically
I miss Andy too, but from what I hear, he was definitely not a team player.
I never liked him. Good riddance.
Haha that made me giggle. I never knew why he left.
Andy was a prick
Yes...they're better with Andy on stage!
Thank God for Duran...
I had never seen this. What a cracking interview. Nick and Simon are my favourite Durannies (in that order) so I love this, thank you for sharing it.
I've always wondered if there was any friction between the two primary song writers of the band. I'm glad they have figured out how to work together over just separating and going solo like many bands seem to do.

Duran Duran and Journey ruled the 80's. They made MTV.
Madonna?

THAT'S THE ADVENTIGE OF BEING OLDER, NOW YOU LAUGH BOUT THE REDICULUS ATTITUDE AND HOW GREAT YOU WERE 😁 now you don't have to prove nothing on anyone, 🙌🙌👌👌
Loved them then and love them now!
I am enjoying their wisdom as "aged musical sages."
That generation of musical artists were so much more smarter and effortlessly charming than contemporary musical artists.
love you guys in Poland
Thanxs learned something about the industry
I can guarantee that I am one of a very few people who will use the names King Crimson and Duran Duran in the same sentence and say that I like both bands!
Love you nick all the rest of you wild boys
love these blokes!

Tough to hit your peak at 23 and then live long enough to hang around and still try to be relevant in your 60s.
Their first 2 albums were perfect.
Their other work was very good too
Wait, at @2.01 is John wearing Simon's jacket from The Reflex video?
They often share clothes. Now they also often all have the same shirts in multiple colours, lol.
"It's important you connect with the audience "..... Hmmmmm Simon, that means don't be off with fans! Mention this to JT as well eh !
