Not one of Dave's best interviews, but certainly one of the best guests, Simon LeBon and Duran Duran were the Apex of the British pop '80s. Simon is so articulate and well spoken, what a beautiful message he gave regarding live aid and the true meaning behind it. So Red the Rose by Arcadia is an amazing album, everyone needs to listen to it.❤

I met Simon a little over 10 years ago, and he’s a big teddy bear.

One of my all-time favorite vocalist and his group Duran Duran.⭐️🤗

Saw Duran Duran in Pittsburgh in September and it was a GREAT show.

Talking about the sailing just makes me think of what is about to happen to him. Thankfully everything turned out well and he is still singing his beautiful heart out!❤

I don’t remember this airing. Wild. Where are the other gents? Yeah, Dave seems like he’s trying to help Simon, and Simon started out a bit messy funny than he thought he was.

Love Simon! Thanks for posting this!

Just gorgeous! Miss the 80's.❤

Simon is so charming, well-spoken, intelligent, and respectful - ever the English gentleman - and dead-common-as-you-please Letterman dragging the conversation down into the gutter with the asinine “lardo” inanity. Simon was spot on saying Letterman was a bit slow. Le Bon giving Letterman the flack he’s been dishing out to his guests for years, and David not liking it one bit. Fabulous. (Just see Letterman's interview with Laurie Anderson for another cringe-worthy example of David's gross inadequacies with guests). Simon looking his usual debonaire, New Romantic / New Wave, avantgarde self. Fantastic! Love him in all black. And, indeed, Arcadia’s “So Red The Rose,” remains an unparalleled masterpiece, every song a gem.

The first two Duran Duran albums are actually pretty good.

The other albums are actually pretty bad with maybe a few specks of good songs. One, they hired Nile Rogers. Two, they let Simon Le Bon (who is a gay man, and who used women to be under the guise of being straight) take over the music style. It’s why a lot of their recent songs are so cheesy. It’s as if he’s got a target audience among gay young males…. read the lyrics of wild boys, which is an awful song and check out the book the wild boys. He still talks about his obliterated bum in concert ffs🙄.

Stop dwelling on the gay thing and get a life, deb

I always liked Simon. Not your typical mindless pop star.

We were all younger back then lol

WOW, WOW A ZILLION TIMES , SIMON simply showec , he really learnt from HER LADY DIANA. Love u even more DD, congrasts

It seems an awkwardly close placement of seating. Dave is almost in his face instead of them both having a bit of personal space.

Favoloso!

well, never saw this interview, ,but i saw her saying, somewhere, , i got surprised!, it was COOL! HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF, N THE REFLESSSLADY DIANA, SLL THE BEST WHISHES 4 HER SPIRIT❣❣❣❣❤❤❤

You can understand why Yasmin and him had a very passionate and long lasting relationship.

They were a great video band…

Dave was so condescending & rude. Simon did a great job.

Wow live aid money. Where did it actually go? I suspect the wrong hands.

I would have asked more about Arcadia. Live Aid I get it but Arcadia would have been more interesting.

Obviously during Arcadia period too. But awkward interview. David seemed to be needling him.

Snark. Two big personalities- and Dave kind of pushy. Clearly Simon was not about to opinion the Prince/Princess… would not be a good look. Has an EPresley look here.

3:14 = at that angle, with his hair that color, he reminds one of Elvis ....

there’s a video of Simon Le Bon, who turned 50 where he got a bunch of Elvis Presley records for a present. There is a card as well that calls him a queen. He is a gay man that used a beautiful model and her three daughters to be under the guise of being straight, but much of time, he would dance in a certain way to target a young gay male audience since the early 80s, ie, he would even do squats if you know what I mean. I will never listen to Duran Duran again after discovering two of them were g@y. And guess which is the other one. Google the video of Nick Rhodes and John Taylor on an elephant in Sri Lanka… that will tell you all you need to know

Is it me or does he look like Elvis?

This is from 1985 and Duran Duran did break up in 1985.

@Cre80s

2 ай бұрын

Eh, that's a bit false-ish. "Break up" is a term that does not fit Duran Duran. For one, the band very much obviously continued, which is something bands that "break up" don't do. Also, Roger and Andy both returned, Roger 'til this day. It was an end of an era where "all 5 being expected" ended, but calling that "breaking up" is inaccurate.

Rude Dave

That barber’s cape with white socks is extremely tacky…Simon likely wishes for posterity that he went classic and wore a sharp suit to Letterman instead of this plastic tosh.

Looks like Elvis
