Yes, but they had one of the biggest downfalls. In 1986 Roger & Andy Taylor left, Andy still has a lot of hostility towards these guys. Also they were a lot like The Temptations in the sense that Three Members also had the same last name Williams (Paul, Otis, and Melvin Franklin born David Williams). Also they didn't have to fight to get their music on MTV like a lot of Black Artists did back in the day. Also they like The Original New Edition had "Outside" Projects that also did well for themselves. Hard to believe that this marks the 40th Anniversary of their starting out. So many British Groups saw their career go downhill in the US from George Michael, Spaudau Ballet, Tears For Fears, and Banarama.

@@laminage yes Roger left Duran Duran after the huge US tour in 1986 he was extremely exhausted it took alot out of him, glad Rogers back, Andy left because him and Nick wasnt getting long too well as Andy felt his views and talent was being ignored and Nick was always getting his own way across in the making of the next album so he left, came back a few years later and things where just pretty much the same and left Duran Duran again high and dry during ahuge tour in the US which is unforgivable. John also left for while he was commuting from Uk snd USA alot and speading himslf very thinly and hanging out with the wrong sorts of people and staying up late burning the candle at both ends as they call it really glad hes got himslf sorted and and rejoined the band and everyone thought Duran Duran where finnished but no! D D are doing very well over the past alot off years performing all over the world to sell out tours they should be very proud of themselves espically Simon holding the group together and what they have achieved it hasnt been easy.

2:00 I don’t think the interviewer realized just how serious Simon was !!

OMG I love duran duran! Fabulous music and videos! Good looking guys!!!

Although they are once again missing a Taylor, since the original band got back together in the early 2000's, they'd made some really terrific albums that had singles galore on them. But I think because they're seen as "older men" they don't make the charts. They still have an incredibly solid, rabid (albeit slightly smaller) fan base who buy their albums (and more importantly, pack the arenas - that's where the dollar's at) so until they all just say "let's pack it in" Duran Duran are here to stay. And I'm still here for it.

Greatest band ever.Have loved them since I was 8.Every New album is a source of happiness. Love from Istanbul

I became a fan after their “imperial phase”, so I had the advantage of not being distracted by their image or reputation as a style band (“Serious” was the first song that really got my attention). They were probably arrogant as hell in the 80s, but they come across now as so decent, thoughtful, funny and articulate. And Roger Taylor seems such a lovely bloke...

amazing band

LOVE THEM!

There videos were iconic

Pisses me off they are not in the RR HOF.

Ordinary World put them on another level

And now they've made Future Past which is undoubtedly their best album ever. I honestly thought they wouldn't be able to top Paper Gods.

I knew that was Long Island in the beginning!

Promotional films with the 16mm Arriflex SR.

I love it)))))))My time)

Love all Duranies !

Il passato.. Il presente.. Il futuro

They should say something about Notorious and Big Thing because those albums were what got them back and ordinary world helped them too.

I saw them in concert last year.

Me encanta

DD una super banda!

AH! Well Simon and the boys will have to come here to Nova Scotia and go sailing on the Bluenose!

They still got it 😉❤️
