Warren Cuccurullo 1986-2001 Duran Duran At the end of the grueling ten-month Big Thing world tour (in June 1989), Cuccurullo was made an official member of the band, and moved to London. Shifting record label politics and the unsuccessful album Liberty almost derailed the band, but after Cuccurullo offered them the use of his home studio (named "Privacy") in Battersea, Duran Duran was able to shift to a more comfortable and controlled music-making style.[3] Cuccurullo's songwriting, guitar skills and driving personality contributed to the band's return to fame with 1993's Wedding Album. He earned co-writing credits on the hit singles "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone", although the lyrics were written by Simon Le Bon. He created new arrangements for many of the band's old hits for the acoustic-flavored tour that followed, as well as arranging full acoustic pieces for the piano and six-piece string section that performed with them on the MTV Unplugged show.[5] After Frank Zappa's death in December 1993, Cuccurullo performed the instrumental guitar piece "Watermelon in Easter Hay" (from the Joe's Garage album) in his honor at several Duran Duran shows.
I love this performance. If I can't have DD Roger Taylor on DD drums, I love hearing the beautiful work of Sterling Campbell. I love the reverb. I love SLB's fuller vocal, with vibrato. I love the elevated presence of Nick's synths. I love the understated work of Warren and John, proving that there can be a place for simplicity in Duran Duran (but don't make a habit of it! 😂)
Bellos chicos!! Soy fans de esta banda, me encanta toda su música ...más guapo de lo que es se mira Nick (tecladista) con ese corte de cabello....guapísimo..
Steve ferrone or sterling campbell is the best drummer for duran duran and not Roger. Sorry for Roger fans. Im too is a roger fan but i think steve and sterling plays the drum difgerently and at that time really suits duran's music.
Great performance , great song Simon look so handsome with long hair.
Love this song and love Nick's hair in this video. So gorgeous!

Thanks for that insightful background. I hope Warren can contribute more since he collaborated with the others on Dance Macabre.
Very few times they perform this musical piece, great! And also Arsenio’s show is missed 😢

I wish that simon still sports a long hair up to now. It fits him well.
But Simon just followed fashions....
@@ColtraneTaylor Duran Duran used to be the trend setter instead of trend follower...
Simonnnnn precioso y sexi 😀❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! Top DD performance! Simon sounds brilliant!!!
Great performance
Simon IS the 80's version of Elvis~~~~~~~
Love Arsenio. He always had the best musical acts on and gave them a huge stage to perform on.
Best Duran2 line up. Warren on guitars and either steve ferrone or sterling campbell on drums.
a great live performance!
