    Oh to have been an 80's kid listening to all these incredible bands...Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, U2, INXS, etc. my walls were literally plastered with them all.

      I was there. I was 16 in 1981 and fully embraced being a new romantic and Duran Duran. Everyone I show my teen photos to immediately comment you look like Duran Duran. Mullet, highlights, earings! Girls loved it. It was such a fantastic time to be a teenager. I saw Duran in Hyde park summer 2022 for the first time ever and they were incredible.

      Yes born in 1969 I got to see these iconic bands come out! My first concert was Duran Duran 1984 at 15. Depeche Mode. Cure. INXS. Human League. So many great alternative bands! The 80’s was fantastic.

    For the last almost 40yrs... This could be the first time i ever listened to Roger talking that much. Couldnt even find him finishing one complete sentence in thier US TOUR Video back in 1984. Also heard Andy spoke in his true accent for the first time.. Always love them and happy that they are still together after ll this years

    Having 3 older sisters during the 80's my ears and eyes were blitzed with Duran Duran albums and videos. Their videos always kept my elementary school interest-usually in exotic non-Western locations that gave a glimpse of locales I'd never seen. Wow what's happened to music today!?

    As a musician myself, I have very eclectic tastes. I have always loved Duran Duran, especially everything they did in the 80's. I also, listen to bands such as Van Halen, Volbeat, Disturbed and the list goes on...instrumentalists like Joe Stariani and Steve Vai as well, but among my hodge podge of music that I keep on a thumb drive in my car is every album from Duran Duran from the 80's. Throws my kids heads for a spin, when they here me listening to those albums in my car. They just can't see me listening to synth driven, neo-disco tainted music (and I hate disco), since I am viewed as the headbanging lead guitarist dad!

    Duran Duran should be taught, glorified and repeated relentlessly at the Fine Arts because they were so sensual and striking in terms of style communication approach during the eighties. Duran Duran needs to be definitively brought back to an irradiant and mondial light through the world of art in general. Patrick Nagel, Christy Turlington, James Bond... I mean so many meaningful references linked to them. THEY WERE LEGENDARY AND THEY WILL BE LEGENDARY ONCE GAIN.

      But I have NO IDEA WHY they didnt immediately bring back Warren Cuccarullo.....the guy us literally a virtuoso player and was such a great interpreter of early DD work.
      But Andy was THE DD guitarist.
      It's really apparent that DD lost a LOT of their edge when Andy left the first time.....and never really got it back. It returned slightly with Warren though.

    They achieved their dreams by hard work/ perseverance. Regardless of social class, they made it . I now have a better understanding of England now, especially with Brexit near. It is interesting to see the similarities and differences between the two of us- Britain/ USA.

    I saw them in '84, Union of the Snake, and that was a bummer cause all I heard the whole time were girls screaming!!..... Finally saw them again for the Astronaut tour, and that was amazing..... They are part of the soundtrack of my life, and I have a total man crush on John......

    I wasn't a screamer. I always listened to the songs and knew all their numbers by head. And when I sang, my friends always told me I sounded so close to Simon le Bon's voice. We taped it once and a male friend thought my female friend sang with a boy. xD. I've been to a concert of them in the 80's

    I think this line sums up what caused their music to be so rich and full:
    starting at 13:03 - "It was real high energy because everybody was playing all the time. Nobody ever left a gap because they wanted to be heard all the time."

      With all due respect, but you should definitely give DD's album "All you need is now" (2010) and "Paper Gods" (2015) a try... Songs like "The man who stole a leopard", "Before the rain", "Leave a light on", "You kill me with silence", "What are the chances?" and "The universe alone" are masterpieces to say the least...

    I’d lost touch with Duran Duran but the reunion tour brought me back and reminded me how much I love them. There is some terrific footage here of them happily creative but it’s almost painful to watch with Andy gone again. I’ll always be a fan but in reference to Andy’s pizza analogy there is a piece missing now.

    Loved this band!! Nick Rhodes was not my favorite (there was just something about him that didn’t click with me) but I loved The rest of the band. I didn’t think Nick was the best synthesizer/keyboard player at the time. (. But he thought he was the best) it wasn’t until earlier this year I discovered that John Taylor was the original member of the band that started it all.
    The rest of the band was absolutely incredible! I saw them in concert in Roanoke Virginia in February 1984.❤️❤️ my boyfriend at the time was a hard rock pan and loved Van Halen. My ex-boyfriend was also an excellent drummer and we saw the van Halen concert the month prior to Duran Duran. After the Duran Duran concert was over, my boyfriend at the time told me that Duran Duran put on a better concert! 😳😳 I could not believe those words came out of his mouth. They put on one heck of a show
