Production Notes:
===============
Inspiration:-- Lynn Cap - Laughing With Duran Duran - Parts 1 and 2 - Feb and Sept 2013
Gathering:-- 2011 - June 2020
Editing: - 2018 June 2020
Uploaded:-- 13th June 2020
First things first. How many bands can you name that:
A) produce great sounding music with superb memorable lyrics,
B) have an elastic personality; which is naturally witty funny, and can say or do something zany at any moment,
C) visually look amazing!
This sort of personality is magnetic, and very few bands had the full combo. Lets see. The Beatles, The Bangles, Duran Duran and The Jackson 5 are the ones which spring to mind. Later bands like The Backstreet Boys and Take That had some of those qualities, in some of the band members. Its the camaraderie - the silly joking around, I love - which isnt high on many artists To Do lists when it comes to fame. Duran Duran has always had the full combination - the chemistry - the complete package.
The Beatles--------The Bangles -----Duran Duran --Note----Characteristics
John--------------------Suzie----------------Simon------------Top---- Embarrassed singer, nervous, flamboyant
Paul---------------------Vikki-----------------Nick---------------Mid---- Prime mover, string puller, honest, quirky
George----------------Mikki-----------------John--------------Bass - Agitator, rough diamond, deep, emotional
Ringo------------------Debbie -------------Roger-------------Beat----The calm water, smooth, dry humour
History
I got the idea many years ago, to compile some funny moments I had seen into a show, and noticed there were already two videos on youtube called Laughing With Duran Duran, by Lynn Cap. I wanted to do something like that, but without ripping those off, so people can still go back and enjoy them. Recently, perhaps due to the 2020 Covid-19 virus lockdown, (look out for the sequel next year - Covid-20 - the New Batch!) I decided to sort out and stitch together these clips into a 'movie'.
I felt I wanted to juxtapose scenes to create a rolling narrative, in a sometimes linear way, where the direction goes around in a spiral, and touches back on itself sometimes. All of these clips were found on youtube, so the quality is poor on some of them, and with watermarks etc. Originally I intended for 1hr 20mins worth, but towards the end of making this, I noticed the film began to sag after maybe 30-35mins. Perhaps I felt the audience would be 'laughed out' by this point. So I swapped a few clips around a bit, and put in the sex and nudity stuff. After that if felt like a good time to draw the film to a close - and I had to draw the line somewhere. I put all of the loose 'endings' at the end, and this seemed to sort everything out nicely. The film went through many edits until I was happy with everything. The final version is version 4, revision 2, in other words - D2 - I didnt plan it that way.. On playback, youtube has cut off the ending, but this was just a fade to black and "The End".
Note: The inclusion of Paula Yates was meant historically and retrospectively, not topically. I just wanted the boat scene, and the look on Nicks face.
Even though I upload this in June, I felt all the virus hysteria going around at that time in history meant it spoiled things. So I thought how about a Christmas release, as bonus to fans. At least we can celebrate DD40 during 2021, even though Simon joined the band in May 1980. For me, the band actually started in 1978, with the name Duran Duran and early proto-songs. So roll on DD45 in 2023. 7up, between 6th and Broadway.
"We can't be doing this when we're 40"
Oh John, thankfully you were SO wrong!
60 and still rocking
I see them soon in Vegas. 🙏
@@beannamated So jealous, enjoy! :)
Cute video. Did anyone notice the makeup lady skipped Nick when she was powdering the other guys? She took one glance at him and thought, "he's already perfect"! Ha ha. Gotta love a guy who knows how to powder his own face before an interview. He was prepared!
Haha, excellent catch - of course Nick was always the makeup genius himself :)
He's single-handedly responsible for my love of men in eyeliner.
Asss always
@Emily Mathews 😂👍
Nick 's make up is always perfect!
Is it just me or is Roger just adorable? God love him for still being married after all those years to his wife.
Roger is remarried to his second wife, he & his first wife from back in the day, Giovanna, divorced a while back..
I was in love with Roger for maaaany years!
Simon never seems to lose his childlike enthusiasm - he always acts like he’s living his best life all the time.
I really, really wish that Andy would have worked things out like Roger and stayed with the band. It’s nice to see all 5 of them together. Especially now that everyone is older and their lives aren’t as crazy as it was in the 80’s and 90’s.
Beautiful and talented. I miss the 80s so badly ❤
Yeah I know what you mean,I miss the eightees too 😢🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
They were so freaking gorgeous back in the day just gorgeous ❤
John Taylor OMG ❤❤
I love that press conference with them, 'Roger needs two hands for his'... 🤣🤣🤣
5:23 nick's laugh is everything
I could listen to them talk all day about everything and nothing.
This is great. The fact that they are acting the fool and laughing at themselves with such a sense of humor speaks volumes to me that they aren't stuck up at all , as some critics have said. But they did have a rough exhausting time getting hounded by press etc.
I love this. When you are in a band that is world famous and you are asked to go around the world promoting your latest single....these things are going to happen. I LOVE how Nick is trying his best to not say anything bad about Andy Taylor, all the while looking at John Taylor and that look them between them lets us know "Andy is already a problem."
Im almost 58 and still listen to these guys
These guys are very funny. I especially liked the clip where Simon and Nick are in the dressing room and walk out wearing a dress. I was literally cracking up. I really enjoyed it!
“Grab your bags girls!”
Simon is hilarious. Omg ! He cracks me up .He's got the wickedest sense of humour 😂
Roger said that John would say between the five of us we make one really good person. That's hilarious ❤
Thanks for the good laughs. This movie should probably get regular updates, because the boys still generously provide plenty of funny moments whenever they get a chance to. ❤️
Hi Chiara. I have been working on another collection of funny moments. It is two hours long, so much longer than this one.
I want to do a good job with the next one, but I'm having trouble translating the Italian language sections with English subtitles.
@@lifeschool should you need help, I’m Italian.
@@chiaraalini - That would be great. :) Please click my About page and send me an email, and I'll send you a link to my video and the latest english subtitles file. Hope you can help. @:)
Thats lifeschool22@gmail.com. Dont worry, you dont have to edit the subs, just write me a note with the words. There are only maybe 4 clips which need English translation. Once I have those, I can translate the whole movie to any language.
DAMN John Taylor was so freakin' beautiful...still is, but back then...DAMN
Ugh Paula Yates
I agree. He was stunning. 😍
John Taylor has and will always be hot, but Nick Rhodes has my eye as he is so smart, so witty in interviews. I love music as much as he does, I just cannot plan an instrument anymore! And Simon makes me laugh, so so hard! I love to listen to them talk!
I Love This Band So Much....
My Son's Middle Name Is Duran.
Keep Rocking!!!
The instrument part was hilarious! Roger didn't stand a chance! 🤣😂
hey, wait a minute! Andy and John also need two hands, or can you play the guitar/bass one-handed?
Rock stars and cats have the same personality traits
Simon: “Lets hear it for October 👏😄“ 😂
To the people who posted this, you are too cool!! Duran Duran are my favorite Band!
Imo, Nick Rhodes is about the only man that can wear a BUNCH of makeup and still look cool. If I did that (only if I were in a Professional Band), it would be a no go.
His makeup has always looked flawless and pretty darn near natural looking. Even though you know he is wearing makeup, his lip colors and blush tones are very complementary to his skin tone and hair colors. He is one of the few musician guys who is a genuine artist package - a very stylish dresser, creative musician and performer, articulate and intelligent, plus a nice guy!
I think he looks great too, but have you ever heard of David Sylvian
@@witchflowers6942 I have. He is cool too! I wish my appearance was a cross between Morton Harkett of A-Ha and David Sylvian. Ladies would be turning their heads, lol.
@@CarrieLuikens I agree 💯. He should be "The Face" of the New Wave Genre.
I love Nick but at over 60 he needs to lose the eye makeup.
Para mi fue asombroso que John Taylor hable español bien nítido 🇲🇽🇨🇴
Omg this is amazing , so many clips i have never seen and been a huge fan for 39 years. Loving it sooooooo much. Thank you very very much.
I knowww same here
right on. Duran and Depeche = best 80s bands, IMO.
I'm SO jealous of that makeup artist who got so close to them all :)
Thanks so much for making this compilation, much appreciated, especially in the current gloomy times - stay strong, DD fans! :)
I am so happy they have a new album coming out soon later this year! I look forward to hearing any new music they create.
Especially John. I would just faint!!!
as much as i absolutely adore Duran Duran, I'd love to hear a 2nd Arcadia album.
"Roger needs two hands for his" haha!
Andy Taylor is a laugh . He was awesome in his own way . Thanks for uploading this gem
Nick Rhodes is a class act,always the gentleman !!
Agree
But he is still in the closet
@@RamonSanchez-j2mi think he was married and have 1 child,
You're correct@@normatible9795
@@normatible9795и тот не от него 😅
I like the clips where John, Simon, and Nick do the promos and Simon keeps interrupting them and make them start laughing and also where John says we'll tell you what's happening on the british charts, which is not much! Lol! And of course John trying to speak Spanish!
Eram os caras mais bonitos na face da terra!!! E um exemplo de amizade forte entre eles. ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤ Forever Duran Duran 🎉 ❤❤❤❤❤
I think Simon"s'great sense of houmour had rubbed off well on the rest of the group he's harlarious at times.Just wish Simon would write his autobiography.....
How incredibly awesome that would be! :D
Duran Duran, we love you!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💕✨✨💕✨💕💕✨💕💕✨☮☮☮☮🎶🎶🎶🎶💋💋
Love Nick's hair & make up in the Arcadia era Min 17:10
Thanks for giving us so much John to drool over. 😻❤️🔥 Who else wishes they were on that elephant with him? 🔥
Okay, is it just me or does John Taylor look like he should've been the hot bassist from The Clash decades ago? LOL! Gotta love John. I still don't know which to choose as my favorite.
Elephant orr not, I still dream of that man
Yo con Simón has el fin del universo 😘😘😘😘😘
@@annah.1569 I’ve always loved Nick but I just love John too now 🔥
Watched the whole thing, thank you! I forgot how funny Simon gets on these interviews sometime. They were my first concert way back on the 7 and the Ragged Tiger tour.
Me, too! Madison Square Garden, March 19th, 1984. :-D
Me too! Seattle, February 1984. ❤️❤️❤️
Me too!! march 10 , 1984 & march 18, 1984 in Philly PA
Love Simon❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great times Duran Duran nick 👀🐾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐈⬛🐾
that boat rocking like that is making me VERY nervous!
It made me feel sick lol
Thank you for at least mentioning the Video Shack crazyness. It was insane both outside, & inside all day! Simon's mum was also amazed at all the commotion. My stepfather snuck them all out through a secret exit from his store. Glad it didn't scare them from coming back to NY. Lol One of my favorite days that bonded us forever! Thank you for these amazing video moments! Well done!
A great story! Thanks for sharing your memories of that event and your stepfather. It was amazing to find a couple of clips from inside the store, as I'd only seen the outside shots before. Fun times!
Well done, so many memories from through the years.
Oh yeahhhh💃💃💃💃💃💃
These guys are fantastic!
This is absolutely fantastic - thank you! I can't wait to watch this - some of my VHS tapes broke before I could convert them to DVD so I'm sure some of these I haven't seen in a LONG TIME. What a fantastic project - thank you from this Duran Duran MEGA fan!!!
Great. Be sure to check out Laughing Parts 2 and 3!
Very well done. Funny as hell. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Love them as they are so down to earth humble and can laugh at themselves. They all have a great sense of humor. John has a dry wit, and Simon, his happiness, and playfulness is infectious!
Thanks for posting it's brilliant a treat down memory lane thanks👍 Simon and Nick where my favourites out of Duran Duran. I'm still ahuge fan in 2021 they all have agreat sense of humour with a huge amount of wonderful unquic talent.I knew away back then they had it.. The looks etc all gorgeous looking men when I first seen them first on top of the pops in 1980 after weeks listening to them on the radio i was blown away, i thought Simon was the most gourgous man on earth cant wait to see them all in Dublin love from alife long fan ftrom N.Ireland ❤
I thought they were (and still are) the most exotic looking guys I had ever seen! Granted, I grew up in a small town in the MidWest USA, so not too many guys I knew looked like Duran Duran in the 80s. I think they are actually from a different planet where everyone looks like Greek Gods and Goddesses. I'm not sure they are aware of that though, ha ha :) They might be, and just being incognito about their true identity and mission, which is to inspire us Earthlings with their creative music and lifestyle! :)
John is my absolute favorite. He's just so cute and sweet.
Drinking game! Drink every time it cuts to John trying to talk in Spanish lmao
I remember having a poster of them over my bed 🛏 😍
Nick was soooo cute 🥰
Thanks for watching.
That was a lot of fun. Thanks for doing this.
This is gold .Thankyou so much.
Nicke and Simon did it. I can't even listen.....but l loooove the rest. tyyy
¡¡Tanto talento, gracia y belleza!!. Hermosa la compilación, ¡¡gracias!! Saludos desde Valdivia, Chile💕
I love Duran Duran! Awesome Video!
Os meus melhores crushs:Estão nos anos 80...😍💖
i’ve never laughed so much
They are so funny. Their life as a band must be fun and exciting. Of course there are drawbacks like the paparazzi and some crazy fans.
Nick and John still hot!!!!!!
I luv these guys 2021 they light me up and so funny n entertaining
Just a nice bunch of guys
Wow, this is incredible! Good video! Nick is so cuuuute!

I love him the way he is but boy, woew, Simon is really exhausted and especially when he had his moodes....😁😁💖💖
Love this! Thank you!
Gosh, they must have been HIGH all the time!!!!
OMG--two of my favs. Duran Duran and RuPaul!
Great job! Thank you for sharing it! 👍
¡Gran trabajo! ¡Gracias por compartirlo! 🙃
Great job. I really enjoyed that, kudos to this channel
Great video! Lots of footage I have never seen!
Brilliant video. Cheers
Hot damn, Simon Le Bon is just hot.
Yesssss he is❤❤❤❤
Hermosa recopilación!!! Gracias
Thanks for this!
8:26 yes
If I could, I would have Nick Rhodes take pictures of me for my future author bio. After all, he knows how to make people look photogenic and loves make-up as well as doing photography. LOL! ;)
They are always great Dressed up ❤❤❤❤ back to the 8os please 🥺😊😊😊❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for this! ❤️❤️
JOHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!
Simón se ve increíble bello sensual el mejor de todos los 💋💋💋💋💋💋
Great video!!!
I think Yasmin is happy that he's away for a while to recuperated 😁😁😁
*Yasmin! Yasmin! Get the tape recorder!* :D
It's a sin to be as gorgeous as John Taylor.
Simón siempre te amare ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love it!
Wow, that really old clip with them standing on the street : their accents were much heavier.
What a great band they r.from Trish.dishy
Woah! This sure was a labour of love , Duran actually was the last boy band type outfit that actually had real talent and played their own instruments. At least they also didn't take it all seriously . 44:24 don't recognise that guy ,looked like Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens.
Dude, you're draft. 🙄 they aren't a "boy band". DD play their own instruments & have a lead singer, write their songs. Members of boy bands just sing together
Tonight is a New Moon... and it's Monday.
killer band from the 80s like Depeche and TTF
I think Simon's looks have gotten better as he has aged!
🥰🫂🫂
Interesting that everything in the video I have in complete form on VHS recorded on the day of the original broadcast except the 1st interview which is included which was never broadcast originally on television and is only avaliable via the copyright holders until people started uploading it elsewhere
o John falando espanhol é minha religião 5:30
