Members Doctor Morbius Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm watching it now. Looks like it was recorded a few years back as Taylor is tearing up the guitar. This would have been around the time I saw them for their "Astronaut" tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tim gueguen Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 Not that any of them are actually brotherss. Its kind of funny that one of their inspirations, Japan, had a pair of actual brothers who took different stage names, David Sylvian and Steve Jansen, while Duran Duran had 3 members all with the same last name but none of them were related.

Members bsman Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 To me, Duran Duran typify everything that was wrong with rock in the 80s -- overly-coiffed and made-up androgenous girly-boys whining about love. To an old punker like me, they were a direct challenge to what I liked in music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alden97 Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 Too bad I don't get cable. I always liked those guys, and found it interesting that my favorite industrial band, Stabbing Westward, listed them as a major influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashasha Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 They've got some really good songs IMHO. Of course back in the day it would have been hazardous to ever be caught listening to them. I learned to appreciate them much later on in life once I got over myself.

Members dgstandard Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 I enjoyed Duran Duran and their music videos at the time. Still have some 45s kicking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To an old punker like me, they were a direct challenge to what I liked in music... I dig what you're saying and felt the same way at the time. Considering what has happened to music in the meantime, they weren't so bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
