1981 DURAN DURAN "Friends of Mine/Anyone Out There?"

[madmark1972able]

This is my favorite obscure Duran Duran song. I'd discovered it from the Swap something television show.

[debterry]

I love them now all forever but Andy is adorable here.

[aindiandog]

OK everyone that appreciates this is invited to my place this weekend in Birmingham AL for DD listening party! Lol

[sillytink]

How flippin' good! Can't believe there is footage from 1981 still around. A great band then and a great band now. Long Live Duran Duran!

[wildenfree]

Oh for a time machine.

[alliefan5]

its almost haunting. I love it

[warholboy]

I think they need 2 or 3 more smoke machines on this set.....

[coccoriver]

hahahah,,.,.,.,.,.,.

[mikkavivian]

THANKKKK YOU GOD for allowing me to enjoy the '80s and I wasn t born later with all this crappy "sound" many call music ..

[milanotre3]

One of the best comment I ever read on a Duran's video! I completely agree with you (I'm 37)..... thank you!

[saladcat]

I'm jealous of you! I'd love to have experienced the 80s

[TheBrassHole]

Half the songs on the first album were actually from the late 70's when they were playing clubs. They were just ahead a little bit...

[adcaber3]

hard...pure music pure talent....not the pop garbage thats floating endlessly out there 2day

[TaylorZOXtaylor]

i agree. don't you just hate that shit out there lately? wtf?!?!?!?! Where did the TALENTED musicians run off to? depeche/duran/tears4fears need to tour together once. oy.

[ShazTaylor]

Was the first time I was exposed to the band..1981..I was 11..loved that voice and bass line and stil do to this day. No one and I mean NO ONE to this day can match Duran Duran - 27 years on! And they are still hot!

[juleeluvs]

I'll second that shazTaylor, such talented and 'hot' guys. We should think ourselves lucky we we there to experience all this. Wouldn't it be great if we could do a BILL AND TED and go back to 81-82-83-84 etc etc.

[TaylorZOXtaylor]

I agree. they had the look, the the vids, the songs, the voice, and the mode::wait, that was depeche mode who had the mode::

DURAN DURAN / RAFF FOREVER RULES!!!!!!!!!!

[CarelessMemories71]

What a great sound. This captured me at the time and it has never left me. LOVE this band.

[cocoabononohead]

The first album straight dominates.

Not only one of their heaviest songs but probably of heaviest of songs of all time.

[rsmduran]

this band is fucken awesome and why the fuck don't they re-release this song as is with a stronger bass line and drum kick but leave the rest as is ...and it will bring the band back to its fame once again that it deserves.

[tamtamtam]

I totally agree. This song and Sound of Thunder. Even Planet Earth.

[rsmduran]

hey tamtamtam i see u have a good taste in music ...i seen Duran Duran live in front of 54,000 people at Sydneys Aussie Stadium in late 2003 where they did 2 concerts back to back and man did they rock the staudium, lots of Australians love Duran Duran.

[tamtamtam]

My taste of music is very ecletic. I like 80's R&B,New Romantic (Duran Duran , Japan) , and French House music. I have never seen Duran Duran in concert but I will be doing this when they tour again.

[RallyCat909]

Im pretty sure Hardfloor (think TB-303 acid bass) remixed and song boy DD. Even so there should be a noticable outlet fo older songs like this that deserves to have the dust blown off them.

[puppylover4ever]

hmm.. That's a good idea. I'd give other kids real music. I'm already a kid kinda addicted to this kinda music!

[scala20]

I was in the front row of this concert!! Really so good to see it again...(was only 13 at the time!) It was the first concert I'd been to and looks as good as I remember it.. Managed to get on stage at one point near the end and realised it was just me and Le Bon and 7 or 8 others left on the stage and froze like a pillock!

[puppylover4ever]

OMg! Youre real lucky! :) I havent even went to one of their concerts. I guess people dont go to concerts as kids as much now.

[basgirls]

you are so lucky. One of my high school friend back then get to see them backstage . She said one women only wore a trench coat and flash her boobies at them. My mom did not let me go to that concert. Hoo hoo. So sad don't know if I ever get to see the in this life.

[puppylover4ever]

woah... the lady with the trench coat part was just freakin wierd... I guess when we get WAYYY older then we would able to go so some... one ain't enough... :D

[vainelson]

Rare!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful...Good times!

[dfederico]
