    Duran Duran and Barry did such a terrific job on this one - it's one of the best Bond tunes for sure.

    I also saw this broadcast of them on Good Morning America, however, the date that I saw it was on May 17th, 1985! If it had been broadcast on June 14th, 1985 I wouldn't have seen it because that was the day that my father died, & I very busy taking care of notifying family & friends about his passing! It was also the 24th birthday of Boy George of Culture Club as well that day too!

    Duran Duran composed
    this. John Barry’s name was only there because of politics.
    This is a Duran Duran sound.
    John Barry is not able to compose This type of music.
    In fact as great as he is in composing and arranging James Bond themes
    He had to be schooled in the proper usage of a certain chord - very important chord in the song by Nick Rhodes. This is the reason why they didn’t get along because finally the studio went along with Nick Rhodes’s opinion - not Barry’s.

      John Barry, a seasoned composer, being schooled in the "proper usage" of a certain chord you can't even name? Please go to bed.

      @heyjude9335 5 років тому +8

      @Sam Le chiq what a joke! saying john barry being schooled in the proper usage of certain chords by nick rhodes, the only one in the band who has no musical ability AT ALL. NICK didnt even know anything about chords and the difference between a minor scale and a major scale, he hardly can play keyboard/piano or any instruments. by saying that nick schooled john barry means that you are telling false information on internet thus you are trashing someone's reputation with lies. you obviously dont know what you are talking about same as you dont know anything about music, so you better stfu.

    • @heyjude9335
      @heyjude9335 5 років тому +8

      @Sam Le chiq if you are reffering to argument about one note in the chorus where nick wanted E flat major while john barry adamant that it should be F sharp major then you are wrong. the fact is John barry won the argument and his version sounds so much better. you can hear both chords in the steven thompson 12' extended version. of course nick claimes he won the note cause john barry is not around to defend himself

      this is the actual fact about the making of 'a view to a kill' as told by andy taylor in his book.
      John came up with a wisp of a tune for the opening part of the song.
      “I think we have got a start here,” said Simon hopefully.
      Simon worked on it a bit more with John Barry, and they came up with the first line, “Meeting you, with a view to a kill.” Roger and I then developed a hybrid drum/electro sound that sounded great and Simon added the chorus. Originally he sang it as one flowing line, “Dance into the fire.”
      Working with Nick, however, was not easy. Nick seemed to be resentful of the whole project because it was organized by John Taylor. Nick always seemed to be swimming against the tide.
      “I’m fucking not doing that,” Nick would say flatly.
      John Barry challenged him a few times about things he’d done musically,
      “You can say all you want, but I know what I am talking about and at this time, you don’t,” said Barry in his posh voice. “I’ve worked with people like Shirley Bassey and Roger Moore, and this is my gig, young man.”

    There's always an uncomfortable vibe whenever I see Duran Duran interviewed. They all look like they are insecure too far up their own arses and too concerned about posing to properly respond to questions. I'd be interested to know just who composed what on View to a kill. Le Bon claims that they came up with the musical ideas but Barry isn't around to defend his contribution. It is one great piece of music though.

    • @abingleyboy

      Re: Duran Duran - A View To A Kill. There are a few demos out there of A View To A Kill (one was on youtube) & they pretty much sound as the song turned out. Although there are differences on the keyboard stabs on one that I heard. Barry added all the Orchestral elements including all the intrumental crashes & backing tune (from the OST) 'wine with stacy' & 'that fatal kiss', the latter used a B side on the Bands single. As for the bands awkwardness in interviews they were probably coked up to the eyeballs.
