How awesome it has been to follow this band from when they started all those years ago to where they are now. And what's even more awesome is that I love them more now than I did when I was in my pre-teens. I love how their music has found a permanent place in my heart and under my skin; love how the very mention of Duran Duran brings a smile to my face; how one song can bring a tear to my eye but another can make me sing and dance around without abandon. Its a GREAT time to be a fan!!
JT apparently said this was his least fave look for the band (military look). Personally it was one of my faves...Leathers, epaulettes, chains, fringes and red lips to match the red accents...what could be hotter?!!
Love Duran Duran iv been a life long fan from 1980 remember this classic My Own Way in 1981 from the brilliant Rio album as it should have been a huge hit. love Simon and still do i thought back then he was the most gorgeous man on earth and there still going strong in 2020 40plus years brilliant i knew back then they had something special, unique wonderful talent with love from a life long fan from N.Ireland❤
I've read a few times that the band think this is their worst song from the early days (or ever?)...hey, dancephobiaa anyone???....well I'm guessing the majority of fans love MOW cos it's so true to their early new wave sound and the bass is unapologetic. U can't help but wanna groove and sing to this, so melodic. I love it!!
Agree with you ... lot's of other crap songs. I do prefer the Rio version slowed down a bit and synthed up on the simmons drums. I never understood why they never played it again after 1982.
Hey guys how come this song not play on air or even in there latest concert.... i think this song hav a strong melodic and chic of bass line better then hungry like a wolf... !!!
This version is actually faster than they used to play.I think because of the nature of this show they played it faster getting some disco feeling to the song
I thought this live version may have been a bit fast, obviously faster than the album original. But nonetheless, it’s still a great song and this live version almost had a disco vibe to it. Lovely.
It wasn't just fast for this live, if you search you'll find their original version was faster, there's even a music video for this faster version. They then released slower version which was the official version on the Rio album.
According to Wikipedia, the band actually hate this song and considered this one of the worst songs they wrote...or something like that. They said they would never play this song again...shame, I like it.
the slower version of the song in my opinion is the better version to D.J. into a mix that would hold up today, without sounding 2 dated 2 the time its frm. preserving the funk bass played by john on the breakdwn, bringing that up 2 the forground would be the play 2 make 4 a retro disco type mix..think I might do 1 now.
really this song are so cathy and have a real new romantic sound. Duran always choose the wrong decision . For example Their latest album was not have anything sound like duran duran . They should focus on synth and new romantic sound.... what da ya think? DepecheMode always focus what they good for that's why they are bigger than duran duran....
Hello... can you help me?. I`m not an english native speaker and my english is not very good (I believe). My problem is that I can`t understand the lyrics at the end of the song in the LP version... "cause I`ve got my own way ey yey yey yey yey ye eeeeeeeee..." and then Simon start saying words that I can`t get and finally the song fades away. Can you type what he says here please?... I`d really appreciate it
Man Simon lebon is.great frontman!!.. his expressions and dancing is just cool!!.
John is the very definition of great beauty, intelligent, talent, and hotness.
Pero en este video no enfocaron a John ni una sola vez!!! Al menos yo no lo miré!!!
Oh, yes, yes.
This is 1 of my all time favs of Duran Duran best band on planet earth 🌎🌍 wow wow wow wow 🥰 memories epic
Love this song, it's the gateway to Rio, shame it never gets on any greatest hits dvd.
Love the way Nick is so shy.
I think it is poise and a bit of shyness, but he's always appropriate.

Always preferred this version. And just look at them ...
Awww, I can't see John very well here.
OMG, Nick and Simon look absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for uploading this, fantastic!

And the way John grooves...
Thud. 🤩
Duran Duran IS great live
Happy 60th Birthday to our sexy Simon.
@pumping2 it's the single version, they re-recorded a different version for Rio which is the one most people are familiar with
John maravilhoso 😍
nick
Hey guys how come this song not play on air or even in there latest concert.... i think this song hav a strong melodic and chic of bass line better then hungry like a wolf... !!!
Too bad the visual quality was off. Got to give it up to a band that has lasted like this!
Why did this never get compiled on Decade or Greatest albums.....
This version is actually faster than they used to play.I think because of the nature of this show they played it faster getting some disco feeling to the song

I love how in the 80's there was more emphasis on how the men looked than the women.

@Springamatul Yes, he is! :D
Andy’s so hot!!
This is the upbeat neo-disco single version. The slower version on the album is better, but still a great song, either way.
Esta versión es más rápida que la del disco Río.Puro sonido Duran Duran.
I much preferred the version included in the Rio album
@csorion yeah man, john taylor rocks
@Lani012 wow in his fifties too.
OMG I could of eaten Simon right up here! LOL mmmmmm
I’m very disturbed
really this song are so cathy and have a real new romantic sound. Duran always choose the wrong decision . For example Their latest album was not have anything sound like duran duran . They should focus on synth and new romantic sound.... what da ya think? DepecheMode always focus what they good for that's why they are bigger than duran duran....
@angiebaby506 lol i remember wearing them aswell
I prefer the single version of this song (the version played in the video) because the version on the album is too slow
@nuwavegurl haha so did- maybe Corey was imitating him?
Thank god Chic came along to make this song hot!
I always thought Simon looked like Corey Feldman (as Edgar Frog in 'The Lost Boys') in this video. No matter, they both are cool!

Who's the redhead girl at start of clip?
love this song, but why are they just lip synching to the 7" mix?
Top of the Pops required lip-synching
Bizony ez kezdet volt volt történetnek.
They are the wrong way around! John should be on Simons other side!!
I love this song, but what is this??? playback???
must be boring
john ist sexy😁😍😍
Love this version fast one. Dont like the slow version.
Strange that DD has almost disowned this track. It's no worse than many other singles they've made.
The beginning of a bad story!
Not their finest hour!🤮
I’m sorry but this song is total C##p!
