Julie Colleran 80's hair are still the best! :)

Julie Colleran So do I Both of those guys' hair looks awesome in this interview.

So do I

Julie Colleran oh me too! Simon looks positively dangerous with medium length hair!!!😈❤️

Looking like a lion

Great great song I remember hearing on a little radio I used to sneak under the covers as a child after my mother told me to go to bed

John was absolutely gorgeous!

@@cynthiakhan5483 he still is 😊

Simon!

He was handsome

And the rest of you guys too, John, Simon, Nick, Andy, Roger, you're all in my thoughts and prayers.

I hope they now realize the impact they had. Some of the "old head" critics at that time missed the boat with these guys. They didn't get them, their sound and dismissed them outright..they weren't "heavy enough" whatever that is. John can rest assured that the whole of DDs output can never be invalidated by a quick- study-knee-jerk summation or be critically reduced to "disposable" pop. They had a cultural impact as well. Even though not all of their songs are about "fun", the overall sound is exuberant, infectious, there is a certain whimsical quality (reflex, new moon on monday, rio, girls on film, etc) to a number of their songs

He always looks amazing, but the natural look is very nice...

hahaahh

My favorite group is the Statler Brothers.

+Daniel Marquis Simon has recently said that being in the RRHF is not important to them.

They are finally in this year 🙂!!!!!!

And also the hit album that song came off of: The Wedding Album

Not one of my favorites. Rio, Notorious.. all time.

Oh yeah they're coked up as fuck.

+Metemi Never mind that he's biting the crap out of the inside of his mouth. Hahaha!

In all fairness, they were touring a lot at the time and were doing several press interviews, so it’s not so surprising that he is exasperated.

Simon tends to fidget during interviews. I don't think it's nerves, I think he gets annoyed at certain questions, though. I could be wrong.

Society wasn't full of whiny crybaby snowflakes back then.

Simon Le Bon scares me less often, because of his appearance in the old days-What the hell does that even mean

mikey p What that means is that I was uncomfortable seeing Simon Le Bon on a segment on The View last year in the Fall. Aging is 1 of my biggest nightmares, so that explains why I don't want to see this handsome British dude on TV or in person when I'm shy enough to meet him someday in my life.

Andrea Patane Oh I see well that wasn't well explained, I have met all the band 3 times backstage

mikey p Lucky you

@@andreapatane4204 are you high?

Simon's hair is sooo thick, that's why his hair works in that particular cut.

No, it's a photo of DD alright!

Yeah, neither of them look particularly happy. John's drugged out on something; Simon might be as well, although he wasn't known to do a lot of drugs. John, though... he's lucky he didn't die.

True, both look annoyed.

I wouldn’t say they were a “kids band”. They started out in new wave dance clubs and then for about 4 years yes in 1984 they definitely had the majority of the teen fan girl market, but after the 80s they were taken pretty seriously in the early-mid 90s and beyond. I do agree with you about the truckers part. That was just weird and random.

They're very pretty, so they were popular with All kinds of girls, even older women. If truckers liked them they were likely gay truckers, or listening to their music to stay awake, they likely appealed to vastly different audiences, imo.

I am so glad we are freer now to like what we like. Duran wasnt seen as a " heavy" band. Guys were more into a harder edged image in the 80s early 90s. There were a lot of closeted ( and not just gay) fans back in the day. Their mass appeal is being re-examined as we come upon 40 yrs DD

JT is ovverated, poor Simon

@@orangerollsangelspit John has perfect and symmetrical features whereas Simon has a big nose and face. It's objective but I truly believe that John was chiseled to perfection.

John is uniquely exquisite for a man, his bone structure and his mannerisms are mesmerizing to me. Why poor Simon? He's extremely popular, leader of the band, even though John founded the band with Nick.

And do you have experience, theiren? I mean do you know personally the effects of coke? How can you say such a thing? They're both known for certain mannerisms, I've noticed that Simon picks at his nails, when he's a bit bored, and John has been said to scratch his underarm when he's asked something he deems a bit uncomfortable. Subconscious reactions I'm sure, but they still handle interviews and rough questions so gracefully.

@@resa.walters well Simon's recent interview would say otherwise, they all had a bit of a drug problem but John was the worse

Really sucks they got addicted to drugs 😒

Yeah, I think Simon was bi. Not necessarily gay, but bi.... maybe. lol

@@BrendaLee381 it’s pretty typical that many gay males in society, especially high profile ones would say that they’re bisexual just to be in keeping with main stream. But I respect your opinion, of course.

Irrelevant band? Forgotten music? Lmao: you are ignorant as fuck!

@@filipematias5127 And do you have a Duran Duran tattoo, Filipe?

@@ConservativeAnthem No, actually I am GOTH and I have 5 different GOTHIC tattoos but I JUST happen to also like some songs of DD's first and second albums which were actually quite good when they were still in their early post-punk New Wave/New Romantic phase prior to selling out their sound to being successful in the USA!

Yeah, only sold 100 million records and still have sold out tours..totally forgotten about
