Instantly !!!

Completely on location in Sri Lanka. At the beginning (and throughout their career) they always said their videos were more like mini movies. Keep going with them… they’ve been a favorite of mine for decades. Rio, Wild Boys, Planet Earth, Late Bar… all excellent.

The reflex!!!

As a kid growing up in the 80's I thought Duran Duran were an OK band, but you don't truly appreciate until you're older. Now 50 I can really say Duran Duran is one of the greatest bands of the 80's.

Absolutely right 👍 It's only with mature ears we can now truly appreciate how good they were 👍🎶. This is my favourite track. I have told my family I want this played at my funeral

Nope, no green screens, no CGI back in the early 80’s! These mini film videos of DD were just epic. 😎👍

They're still going strong today, 40 years later...recently released a new album and they are better than ever live these days...

It was filmed in Sri Lanka,

Duran Duran holds the record for getting the first evers Grammy Award for music videos back in 1984, when the category was first introduced. They won two Grammy's for Hungry Like the Wolf and Girls on Film. Crazy big band, then!

It was a gorgeous video and song. The song had so many unexpected notes, harmonies in minor keys -like what? And Nick’s synth… the entirety was pure art.

They were one of the first bands to really understand the power of the music video. They wanted them to feel like a mini movie. Two of my favourite videos are WILD BOYS & THE UNION OF THE SNAKE.

The video was filmed among the jungles, beaches, and temples of Sri Lanka . Scenes were filmed atop the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, among the ruins of a Buddhist temple at Polonnaruwa and the island's southern coastline,

It's my absolute Favorite song. The video is beautiful and I believe it was filmed in Sri Lanka.

I love, love, love this song!

This was filmed in Sri Lanka but I've seen several big statues lying on the side like in the video on my road trip in Thailand. So glad I got to visit there before the pandemic.

These beautiful videos stood apart from what was available at the time. This is why they were the kings of MTV.

They did a song with Janelle Monae a few years ago called Pressure Off

Best song from Duran

Each member of Duran Duran were very talented in their specialisation, an absolute powerhouse band of British music in the 80s. They were also Princess Diana's favourite band. The bass guitarist, John Taylor (the one who had an elephant throw water in his face) was one of the biggest heartthrobs at the time, probably the most beautiful, handsome man I've ever seen, and a first rate bass player to boot (he was also alleged to be Diana's favourite member, not surprising). They've just released a new album, celebrating 40 years since their debut.

John still looks pretty good now for a guy in his early 60s. Not gonna lie... I still have a crush on him almost 40 years later.

And I loved Nick to the point my mother wanted me to seek help,lmao. I dressed and same make up so much that in a London hotel they asked if wanted tea or coffee, Mr? I was in heaven then,lol. Those were the days, hugs from Sweden to fellow fan.

Yes the Great Duran Duran... British Invasion in the 80s finally. ❤️

I’m going to see Duran Duran in London this summer after a 2 year delay. They are known for their exotic locations which worked in their favour when MTV was born. That’s Nick Rhodes on synth BTW 😊

One of my favorite songs (along with Come undone) with one of my favorite bands (along with Depeche Mode) - well done!

1. The Reflex (dance and sing-along-ability) 2. Wild Boys (DRUMS!) 3. The Chauffeur (atmosphere)

Great reaction. This is my favorite Duran Duran song. Such a beautiful video.

ORDINARY WORLD was a MASSIVE Hit for them in the 90's - they also have a Great Covers album. Check out their cover of WHITE LINES, it is amazing!

3:13 its sigiriya in Sri Lanka ❤

Now you gotta check out their hit, Duran Duran - New Moon On Monday (Official Music Video). ;) Failed to thank you for reacting to these guys. So, thank you. :) I'm glad you enjoy them as much as I have over the last 40 years. ;)

I've always loved this song. As you say, the atmosphere it creates is gorgeous and it makes me feel really emotional (even before Simon starts singing).

My 2 favorite songs from them-this one and Come Undone.

Temon 1982....duran duran...soy argentino...🇦🇷🎧🎧🎼🎸

The Reflex, The Edge of America, Electric Barbarella.

I was 17 when this came out. It was filmed in Sri Lanka off of the southeast coast of India. Beautiful setting.

I believe this was filmed in Sri Lanka.

You're right Sir ✅

Dare I say probably the most insane composition of a pop song.....ever. Not bad for pop idols who were dismissed by half the critics.

As a teen in the eighties, watching vids like this, wanted to see the world. Grew up, bills piled. Dreams faded.

Great review boss👏👏👏 Two words Duran Duran Say no more My favourite band Since way back in 1981 And they are still making great records tday Love the Fab5 AT RT JT SLB NR

My childhood and young adult life is coming alive again! I was so in love with these guys! 😂 and I still love them! They’re all in their 60s now, except for Nick, the keyboardist, who turns 60 in June of this year! And they’re still going strong

Ok your reaction now is what I had back in the 80s as a child in Chicago who saw Duran Duran videos on MTV. I was in awe. Their videos were like a passport to someone like me who was landlocked and not traveling any time soon. I adore Duran Duran for that.

I learned Ceylon / Sri Lanka existed because of this video when I was in middle school. One of the greastest snd most innovative bands ever. From Rio to Ordinary World to Girl Crush to the only Bond theme to chart #1, View to A Kill, . Continually evolving.

Yeah. And in 2011 they put out a hell of a record called ALL YOU NEED IS NOW. There are amazing songs like THE MAN WHO STOLE A LEOPARD and MEDITERRANEA. It's a must listen.

This place... Sri Lanka. Amazing and Beautiful

Hear that bass line? ;) propels the song forward. As for the music vid, shot on location in Sri Lanka. Many of their vids back then were so exotic and it made them the darlings of MTV. Beautiful song. Oh I forgot to mention on the Come Undone reaction, please do The Reflex!!!!! And no, all this is real, no green screen!!!!!! LOL

Ah mine and my ex husbands "song".He's long gone but I still love this xx

As much as I love all their other songs, Save A Prayer always takes me to another place and time, my favorite song of theirs.

I was a huge DD fan 6 grade when I first heard Planet Earth. Their first 2 albums are my favorites! Every song is great!! Save a Prayer is my fav. Me and my sisters use to tape all their videos on MTV and we would obsessively watch over and over. They shot alot of their videos on location. Girls on Film is one of their best songs. It never goes out of style.

I had a crush on all of them A man with talent is a complete turn on 😍🤣🤭

I was and still am a huge fan of Duran Duran and I saw them in concert 3 times in the 80’s and they always put on a good show. Save a prayer has always been my favorite song of theirs then it would be Rio and then new moon on Sunday. This video was filmed in Sri Lanka

My favorite Duran Duran songs are Come Undone, Save a Prayer and Ordinary World.

The most beautiful ballad ever written, have ever heard of a ballad that’s actually cool? This is the one and only 🎉

And that's why Duran Duran were the kings of music videos! Still the most beautiful music video I have ever seen. And yes, Duran Duran are masters of atmospheric music. You need to listen to The Chauffeur! Video is a bit naughty but beautiful experimental atmospheric song! Been a fan of DD music since the 80s...so hard to pick only 3 favorite songs out of 15 studio albums and many b-sides and extra project songs. If you really like "Come Undone" then you might like "Ordinary World" and "What Happens Tomorrow". Two of my faves. Few other favorite songs; "Out of my Mind", "The Man who stole a Leopard", "The Universe Alone", "Planet Earth".

I really love their atmospheric songs I have a whole list of suggestions lol Before the rain, Universe alone, The man who stole a leopard ,Palomino Lady Xanax ,Land.. these are just stunning songs So many other favorites ( besides the Rio and the other “usual suspects” ) American science, Skin trade ,Serious , Land, Proposition, Hold Back the Rain ,Friends of Mine,Playing with uranium,Last day on earth ,Electric Barbarella, Too bad your so beautiful ,Box full o’honey, Pressure off ,Astronaut, Chains, Girl Panic, All of You, Beautiful Lies, Falling ,Wing.. and on and on It’s probably easier to list their songs I don’t love.. maybe a handful 😂

Yes they were there (Sri Lanka). They wrote much of the album there & went back to film a few videos. My fav was always New Moon on Monday until they reunited in the early 2000’s. Now it’s Ordinary World.

Yes it's all real. They really wrote the song, they really recorded the song, they really filmed the video in Sri Lanka. Along with the videos for Lonely In Your Nightmare and Hungry Like the Wolf. Really. Lonely In Your Nightmare is a fantastic song, which should have been a top ten.

They are awesome amazing brilliant fantastic band been a Duranie now 40 yrs plus there music 🎵🎶 is outstanding 👍 watch more my fav 3 are omg omg omg it's hard to say beenin in the music business now 40 yrs plus well I luv a view to a kill a James bond theme biggest selling single from all the bond films No1 in load's of countries!!!! New moon 🌒 on Monday wow wow wow wow wow my own way buddy my list will not stop because they are bloody awesome outstanding band so av a look and listen see what ya think!!!! Cheers enjoy

"The video was filmed by director Russell Mulcahy among the jungles, beaches, and temples of Sri Lanka in April 1982. Scenes were filmed atop the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, among the ruins of a Buddhist temple at Polonnaruwa and the island's southern coastline."

Duran Duran shot three videos in Sri Lanka. This one, Hungry Like the Wolf, and Lonely in Your Nightmare. Rio and Nightboat were shot in Antigua. As for favorites? Probably this, Come Undone, and View to a Kill.

Perfection... The synth the bass line and great lyrics... Boom!!

These guys were part of the new wave British invasion that came to America and they blew up here in the early 80's. Plus they were pretty boys so they got bigger than the Beatles did worldwide. Crazy insane talented band. Still love them til this day. Good music never dies ❤

In the 80s they went to Monserrat in the Caribbean and to Sri Lanka and did several videos in each location. All the scenery in this video is 100% real.

The absolute best!!!

80s music videos were epic, there is nothing like it.

yes you got it , its just off the coast of india , one of the islands , i forgot which one , but back in the day duran duran were known for their unique videos and locations of their videos just as well , great reactions btw !

Try the track, 'Do You Believe in Shame' or even the new track from the new album from 2021, called 'Wing'. Amazing songs by the band.

AND NOW FUTURE PAST 2021

Love your reaction to this and the crazy thing is, the first time i ever heard this was on a late summer's day in 1982 with the curtains closed to keep the sunlight out. Love it.

Their vids were like movies. Videos in the 80s had movie production input for the TV audience. And DD vids were some of the very best. Check the vid for Wild Boys

There's no book-ending from 1981 to 1994. The book keeps on writing through today and forward as they have never stopped. During their heyday from 1981-1986 in the U.K., Duran Duran had 11 top ten singles and 9 top ten singles in the U.S. from 1981-1988, which reflects their prowess during the 1980s.

This one has some good use of pitch bending or ribbon control to create an 'ethnic sounding' lead line.

These images were SOOO Ahead of the times. Along with good Amazing music...through vidio this is how we could see other parts of this planet...b4 the the internet TV SHOWS ect.

At a time when music videos were cheap gimmicks, Duran Duran brought the art form up to a whole new level. You just didn't see many music videos on this kind of scale. It's no wonder they were such hits on MTV. They really set the bar high for what could be done. And they also came to get a reputation for being globe-trotting pretty boys, so a lot of people didn't take their music seriously.

The video was filmed in Sri Lanka. At the time it was shown on MTV it was revolutionary for its cinematic visual quality and the mood it created for the song.

Hey glad you got to enjoy what I’ve been enjoying since I was 14. Check out the live version of their song Chances Are put out a few years ago pls

Duran Duran the best

Yes, all of that is real. There was no CGI that good back in the 80's 😂 . Duran Duran had some of the best cinematographic videos of the 80's .

No Green Screens used in these Duran Duran videos back then. Green Screens were used in film since the 1930s, actually they were called Blue Screens until around the 1970s. Green Screens were more associated to being used by weather forecasters and in newscasts. It wasn't until movies/videos started to move into a digital format from 35mm film gauge that Green Screens became heavily more prevalent in the film/video industry at the start of this century.

Here are a few more from them you should give a listen to: "Notorious" kzread.info/dash/bejne/jG2uksdqh9CcZLA.html , "Ordinary World" kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKV9o6V8eJWWerg.html, "Rio" kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIid3LunY5C3fpM.html

Duran Duran has 2 new albums in the last 2 years. 2022 Future Past and 2023 Danse Mcabre Both Great.

Was so amazing being a teen in the 80s and seeing this and all their awesome videos when they came out on MTV.. Love them so much. And they still tour and still sound amazing. The Chauffer live 1984 would be an awesome one to react to.

I love your reactions dude

1. Ordinary World 2. Save a Prayer 3. The Wild Boys

Yeah, they had enormous budget from record company, lmao. It worked out quite well.

Roland Jupiter 8 in full flight. :) In its time the videos drew some criticism over the band, video dismissed as sort of colonialist and yuppish. Singer and the lyricist Simon Le Bon has explained this song in "Classic Albums" series, and indeed there is more about it than it sounds.

Sri Lanka

LOVE your reaction ❤ Gonna hit that "subscribe" button 🙂 My top 3 DD are: Released single top 3 1) Is There Something I Should Know 2) Notorious 3) Come Undone Unreleased top 3 faves 1) Taste the Summer 2) Butterfly Girl 3) Too Late Marlene

Duran Duran never got the credit they deserved for their musicianship. You should react to their song the chauffeur

Top 3 favorites: 1. Rio(you need to react to that) 2. I Don't Want Your Love(another reaction from you please) 3. Notorious(great video) but I love many of their songs and videos!

This is why I will NEVER understand why they chose to move away from synthesizers in the 90s ..... synth was so boundless in its possibilities and so atmospheric, its simply the best thing that has happened to music .... people seems to move away from the greatest thing ever discovered in music for the sake of just wanting change ... when they had hardly covered a tenth of what synths can do ... its really cool that synth has made a big comeback in recent years through artists like The Weeknd, Doja Cat etc ...

Not a single green screen was used in this video !

This is Sri Lanka. Before their civil war.

Definitely not green screen. All on location.

This is Sri Lanka!

there were room only two band member,when they fly up t the top of that where they are.

Did you say green screen?

Watch lonely in your nightmare ☺️😉 and Rio filmed in the same place buddy ya will enjoy Rio video and location it's awesome 👌👍 epic ok enjoy 🎉🎉

GREEN SCREEN???? It's 1982!!! LOL
