This is from John Taylor’s book “In The Pleasure Groove”. JT was actually still playing guitar when Roger Taylor joined - the new drummer’s technique forcing him to adopt a more rhythmic funky style. And then he heard ‘Everybody Dance’ by Chic. The singer at the time ‘Andy Wicket’ just so happened to have a bass lying around... and the rest is history!

Fan in the 80's...fan now. Saw them live last summer. If you get a chance to see them live...DO IT.

When I was a cynical young boy I used to hate the fact that I loved Duran Duran. They were mainstream pop music. I was a punk rock fiend. As I grew older I only loved them more. I grew away from genres and grew to love good music in general. Duran Duran, regardless of how you've made me feel at times the 80s and 90s would have been nothing without you.

Most beautiful men to ever form a band, write their own songs, perform those songs and be brilliant at it. Music critics wanted to portray them as a "boy band" because they just could not stand the fact that they were that talented and also incredibly hot. Sorry haters, they are that good! And if you've never seen them live, I just don't know what to say. Cheers!

Well, musically, the band Japan wrote and performed better music and did the makeup thing better, having true Bowie influence. Yes, they do deserve "boy band" as a label.

Back in the day of songs, bands, albums, instruments. Synthesizers were new, analog, warm, magic. Videos, music stores, album covers, 12” remixes. Dreaming, searching, discovering, collecting. Clothes, concerts, mix tapes, posters, fun. Friends, not phones. Creativity, not content. Smiles, silliness, cool to be young, not grown up too soon. Up late, land lines, waiting until midnight tickets going on sale and speed dialing to get floor seats. Going with best friends at 15 and sneaking wine coolers and dancing. Wouldn’t trade being a teen in the eighties for anything-once in a lifetime experience that truly was better than any other time before or since and this takes me back as if time stopped…

These videos might seem "cringe" to today's teens and college students, but many of the visual techniques in DD video like this (the framing, coloring, montages, wipes, use of shadow/light, non-linear micro-speed editing, split screening, etc.) combined to create something entirely new at the time and were a massive influence on videos to come. Granted, Thriller took videos to even greater prominence, but these guys paved the way. And the music still holds up, video or no video.

Only 7.4 Million Views! What's wrong with the world? Why hasn't a new generation of music listeners discovered this gem by Duran Duran from our teenage years? Let's tell some kids about it......

Duran Duran the best of the 80s

Duran Duran were the 80's... I never saw a group that came close to them in that decade.

We had a second British invasion then, the press was all over it, lol.

Here after watching the Netflix documentary on them. Very underrated and underappreciated band . They were and still are great musicians and songwriters. I remember being almost 9 and this video being on heavy rotation on MTV in the summer of 1983. Such a great time to be a kid!

First of all. I am a 55 year old man living in the US and I have been a DD fan since 1982. These guys are brilliant. People can say what they want but the video version of this song carries a different mix of the song than what was released on the single or album, I believe this version is the Bob Clearmountain mix. The version released on the 7" single and LP was the mix they decided to go with after deciding Clearmountain's mix was to soft. Both mixes are great but anyone else see the difference?

I don't remember there being another mix, this is the original that was released in 1983 and went straight to number 1 in the UK charts I remember it well, I was 14 and a big Duran fan already. This song originally didn't appear on any Album until the first album was released in the USA and then this song was added to it, which to us in the UK would have found very odd because in our minds it really didn't belong there. Still a big fan now and always have been with all their ups & downs.

When it came to Duran Duran, there was nothing music fans should know other than the fact this U.K band rocked the music scene worldwide in the Eighties and early Nineties. Four decades ago this song and video were released. It was never fully appreciated for its intrinsic value.

I was a huge Duran Duran fan in high school but I couldn't tell my friends because we all were into Metalica, Rush and Van Halen! I Love Duran Duran! There, I said it.

Simply the best group of the 80s, music stands up even today.

A really good song and it contains my favorite line(s) in a Duran Duran song: "Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war".

There’s a Dream that Strings the Road,with Broken Glass for Us to Hold…&Fire’y Demons will Dance when you Walk through that Door 😮…Great Lyrics…Great Song 🦾

Kate Deluxe Because of stupid reality television singing contests of contestants that cannot sing and end up in the charts anyway but auto tuned due to their lack of talent. People are only chosen for their looks today and not whether they can sing.

"Here is the secret formula to write the perfect pop song. Use it wisely mwaauuuuaaahhhh...."

I didn't fully appreciate Duran Duran in the 1980's. I was more Punk, Powerpop, and Rockabilly. Then I heard Roxy Music and finally understood Duran Duran's vibe.

I remembered them back When I was 7 years old! 😊

I swear 80s rock is the best decade. Love this song especially love the part where he sings "you're about as easy as a nuclear war". 😄

Best. Line. Ever. In a song.

Love that period of the 80s when synths were integrated into bands. That new wave era, Depeche Mode, Gary Newman, Yazoo, Ultravox and Duran Duran will always be a period I look back fondly. Duran Duran were just so damn good at writing and performing. Roger Taylor's bass tracks really do it for me - he has the funk alright.
