THIS is the reason for Duran Duran!!!!

The critics and haters constantly referred the them as "pretty boy teeny bopper band"... John Taylor, a bassist underrated laid some incredibly funky bass lines, Andy Taylor was a fiery guitarist, Roger Taylor was an extremely solid drummer, Nick Rhodes may not have been a keyboardist along the likes of Elton John or Howard Jones but he created a sound of layers and layers that fit the music while Simon Le Bon's lyrics were at times left for the listener to decipher.... One of the 80's bands that were better live than on record. Get them where they rightfully belong: ROCK -N- ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!

Nick Rhodes more of a tapes and sequencer keyboardist than a pure keyboardist. Most of his comtributions were mostly pre recorded and add in some sine wave keys in live performances.

It's the solo section where he keeps the Emin groove happening but keeps accentuating the C# on beat 4; very clever accent and really makes the section pop.

Everybody talks about the Bass (which is brilliant, of course). But listen to the guitarwork!! So many different styles in one song. Creativity as its best.

Utterly fantastic song!! This is a Rock-Pop- International treasure!! There is no other song quite like it and it works!!

This song New Religion can express the most Duran Duran's music concept.

Just saw them this past Sunday the 3rd in Canadauga, NY. While they didn't play this song...they did play many others from this time period...including Lonely In Your Nightmare. They still sound just as good as they did then. This tour (83-84) was my first time seeing them...

Johns leather trousers were and are gorgeous 😍😍

Probably as a 8 year old, this and The Wild Boys were my favourites. At that age you like things by instinct. At my current "rational" self, I adore the war anthem intensity of the first and supernatural meets psychological with the evocative keys of Nick. Added to that, when two Gemini come together in a band prepare for heavy emotions!🎉🎉🎉

Absolutely love, love, this New Religion version, especially the moment 4:02

My favorite band until I die ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

it's a shame they left this vibe of music behind after the first 3 albums. the mix of disco, US rock, art rock and sauce was unique and awesomely them. John was a legend with the melodic basslines .
