This is the second best Friends of Mine performance I've seen. The best one in my opinion was at a concert they did in Wembley in 1998. I think that one flowed better and Simon was more angrier. But Warren was simply awesome on guitar. He plays this song better than Andy. His contributions won't be forgotten.
I'm soz but this isn't Duran Duran...this is SIMON LEBON and NICK RHODES with a band behind them playing meh behind them. Simon is, as always, sublime. Warren? So NOT Andy Taylor...so give it up mate. lol
Why is everyone commenting on the new arrangement? to me it sounds very much like the original, just a little bit more on the metal side and less poppy-catchy-tuney...
But Warren did that for the band, and his contribution will forever be missed. And while Simon is clearly pissed drunk -or something else- he is sexy beyond words.
They kicked him out because they wanted to reform the band with the original line-up. I got the sense from some interviews that if all had not agreed to reform, Duran would have ended.
Warren actually spent more time with the band in total than Andy. I personally liked Warren better.

The man just oozes sexuality.

Warren > Andy. When they reformed they should have kept Warren and not bothered with Andy.

Was never a huge Duran Duran fan...but I remember watching this on T.V. and thinking how great it was. And Simon was so f**king cool that night.

I think I am responsible for 15 of the the 37 views. Awesome arrangement. Many would be surprised how much they rocked this song.
