Duran Duran / Mark Ronson "All you need is now" The One Show (part 1) 17/11/2010

[rongravy]

I like how they kinda bad mouth Timbaland for being lame. They should've found a way to release Reportage instead, then moved on to Ronson.

[tejo29se]

Where's Andy? Why isn't he in the group anymore?

[HatManAtLarge]

Simon is gorgeous! Sexier than ever... and they do put on a great show. None of the acts today have been around longer than they've been together.

[sofapia]

Simon is one of the finest things i have ever seen!!!!

[Fonduella]

Love it when presenter mentions the royal engagement and Simon looks at John as if to say 'WTF does that have to do with us???' Hahahahaha.

[DaftSwank]

@Fonduella LOLz, indeed! Yeah, that was a terribly awkward segue to that Princess Di question . . .

[sexydevil12]

Um, Really JOHN? Some Girls is EPIC! so fantastic. he needs to check himself.

[sexydevil12]

THICK accents. shit man!

[spillandambience]

peter pan magic! <3 50 IS the new 20! never looked hotter lads!

[in2whitelight]

I can't help it every time I hear Duran Duran I am automatically back in my teenage yrs w/ the volume cranked way up singing( no matter how badly) all the words...aah youth it may be fleeting but Duran Duran will always be here to stay (not mention they are getting better w/ age). Even though I am a forever DD fan I honestly have to say that I admire & applaud any band the isn't afraid to try new sounds, win or loose and that's why I think DD has been around so long. You can def. tell all the w

[Swagaization]

@DaftSwank: John Taylor talked about that marketing exec on the "Rio: Classic Albums" DVD. He specifically said that this radio marketer's report suggested that in order to best sell appliances, and trucks to middle American consumers, that guitar sounds and drum sounds, on songs, should sound like Van Halen, and AC/DC, etc. The folks at Capitol Records wanted DD, and other similar bands, to change their sound to fit that calculation, and it affectively killed New Wave within just a few years.

[Swagaization]

@DaftSwank: Maybe they'll listen and re-record some of the tracks of The Power Station with Simon on the lead vocals? I think of Kajagoogoo, in regard to their first album that Nick produced, and I often think DD's sound should have gone in a similar direction--however, the record industry, as influenced by an ad exec, wanted bands from the New Wave genre to sound more like AC/DC and Van Halen, as he felt it would help sell goods on radio? Power Station seems to have been groomed to do that.

[Swagaization]

PS: You might recall, the Beatles also had the screaming fan girls, but upon the release of the song Yesterday, it was clear that this band was deeper than their rivals, and soon the band completely changed, and their music went from poppy rock 'n roll, to devastatingly thoughtful lyrics...and orchestrated music, and they changed their image, from boys, to men, beards and all. The Sergeant Pepper album forever killed that teen idol label for the Beatles, and DD needed something akin to that.

[Swagaization]

Ronson is correct. Seven and The Ragged Tiger was not the album that it should have been. The same with Wild Boys, and A View To A Kill, respectively, as stand alone song releases. The Power Station and Arcadia further hurt the band. DD's debut album and Rio were brilliant. Their 3rd album should have been made to liberate them from the screaming girls, and from the teen idol tag, instead, they made their 3rd album...for that audience? They could have been the new Beatles--a missed opportunity.

[DaftSwank]

@Swagaization: I often think that if the Arcadia and Power Station material were meshed and released as the Duran album after 7&TRT, it would've been their greatest ever. This, of course, couldn't be further from the remotest realm of possibilities in 1985 if it tried, but I -- as a lifelong Duran fan can dream -- can't I? If there is a parallel universe where this actually occured, I would like to visit it someday. Simon singing "Some Like It Hot" during their shows today is always a treat.

[Swagaization]

@DaftSwank: Actually, that is a great idea, really! You should be working at one of the record companies as a marketing exec. Those albums, at least the material for them, should have been steered toward a Duran Duran album, instead the band decided to do them as outside projects; I suspect for the money, as the royalty splits were bigger and they didn't have split the money 5 ways among the band. Still, it would be smart to re-market those albums as a Duran Duran release; Power Station Arcadia.

[tw33tyd69]

theyre so funny hahaha simon and john are jst like brothers lol

[bvg83]

i hope they stay together forever the 4, if they can the 5 with andy

[StikManJones]

@bvg83 ordinary world was a masterpiece. 

[OreckBoy1]

"Wrong after Rio???" I guess Mark Ranson has never heard of songs like "Skin Trade", "Come Undone", "Reach Up (For the Sunrise) " and a little tune named..."Ordinary World"!!! This record better be amazing for that kind of statement ; ). "All You Need Is Now" is amazing though. It's the kind of song that sticks in your head and doesn't leave. I personally believe that the album will be great!! Ronson is head & shoulders above Timbaland. I would love to see them work with Nile Rodgers again too!

[RocStarr913]

@OreckBoy1 I think what Mark Ronson meant was that after Rio, it stopped being about the songwriting and the meshing of the electronic and rock and became more about glossy pop. Most of their albums since Rio, even The Wedding Album, are flawed to some degree, but that is OK. They're in a fantastic place as a band now and it makes their entire career as a whole all the more exciting.

[OreckBoy1]

@RocStarr913 Well put my friend. You are 100% correct. Thanks for your response.

[OreckBoy1]

Simon looks f'n cool with the beard! I think I'll grow one meself!

[KEISERS0SE]

I've listened to the album and it is the best since Rio, some quite amazing musical moments in fact.... get the album, it is brilliant

[silvyebasta]

I'm ready for D.D.'s concert! please here in Switzerland!

[sexydevil12]

We do Weddings! love John.

[neonjunglejumper]

Man who stole the leopard, Safe, All U Need Is Now, Girl Panic, Mediterrania & Leave a Light on are great my fav's at this stage ! Not sure on Being followed & Blame The Machine havent heard this in full yet.

[lparaujo2003]

Listen beautiful The Man who stole the Leopard, Mediterranea, Girl Panic and Being Followed. Fantastics!!

[lparaujo2003]

According to those who could hear the nine songs on the album are spectacular. And I have three more coming in February which also are chilling.

It's the return of the Fabulous!

[TheCharEllis]

Duran are back!!

[justinakennedy]

I've been with the boys for the whole long ride...and what a wonderful ride it is!!! Love me some DD!!

[chrisbacos]

You said a "Sting" phase. I like that analogy because I would never

expect Simon to turn into a self-righteous holy bore.

[TheLadySakai]

If you havent heard The Devils album Nick made with TinTin you should. Dark Circles is an album with pre LeBon songs. Written and performed live then updated by Nick keeping the orig lyrics sung by TinTin. Listen to that and then listen to "All You Need is Now" the feel from the old Duran songs are there. Amazing work. They were serious when they said back to the roots ;) Mark might have said a followup to Rio but the material the boys had was deff 78-79 :)

[wendileona]

2:43 I completely disagree that Duran Duran went off from their tracks after Rio. The follow up album Seven & the Ragged was the perfect next album for Rio. Where they more accurately went off the road was maybe the over the top Arena era or when they splintered and although Notorious is an amazing work the band had gone off exploring and losing their religion.

But I think that new album sounds like a continuation or return to their roots of their first (and yes Rio) album which is fantastic.

[mmdesign1973]

Based on a snippit. Losers, listen to the entire song.

[budakgarut100]

MUTE!!!! JUST MUTE!!!!

[chrisbacos]

Hey Simon: "Shave you idioit!"

[davidxrodriguez]

@chrisbacos ... I agree with u 1,000%... simon, shave that fucking shit form ur face... and ur single, all u need is now, SUCkS!!!!!!!! Ur still clueless about making ur band stand out again.

[Duma39]

@davidxrodriguez  Wow ..jealous much?

[davidxrodriguez]

@Duma39 jealous?? what are you talking about? yourself?

[moxie96]

@chrisbacos yeah, I don't really like it either. Having a Sting phase I guess...

[nataliagmiranda]

[lparaujo2003]

Ouçam Mediterranea. Linda musica. PIU BELA!!! BElissima!!

[lparaujo2003]

[dani2066]

New song sounds great! LOVE the beard on Simon! He looks hotter now than he did in the 80s.Thanks for the video : )

[cherryicecream80]

I just dreamt to kiss Simon with a beard....



[Question99922]

I really love this new song "All You Need Is Now", am a big DD fan. Check out "TAKE IT BACK" - QUESTION ft DURAN DURAN on my page hope i have done you proud, let me know what you think. Viva Duran Duran.

[josefina080]

tan mino k era taylor! y ahora....pfff

[djgus84]

yeah i been with the long ride still holding on strong

[machina37]

Bullshit-I can't hear anything in my country! What is going on here?!

[song774]

Ronson thinks DD went wrong after Rio? Is he crazy!? Seven and the Ragged Tiger is a great pop record! Also some of Simon's best writing!!

[jademm]

@song774

My honest opinion is that DD went wrong whenever they lost track of who they are (their strengths, their vision, their sense of fun). For me, that was during the "Liberty", "Pop Trash" and "Red Carpet Massacre" albums. Timbaland DOMINATED the DD sound; Ronson GUIDED it while RESPECTING the band's inherent talent. The result? Awesomeness (as opposed to carbon copied overkill).

Seven & The Ragged Tiger sounds dated (but I still love it in a nostalgic way).

[mrsjtay1975]

I love DD!!

[TheFlower971]

NEVER old!!!

[Boy70]

Oh, Hallo Duranies! Willkomme back!

[Narjaraturetta]

I LOVE DURAN DURAN!!

[peartfaldo]

Nice....I've seen other interviews where John speaks out about the Timbadouche thing. Not knowing what A guitar was...just his cheesy fake beats and stupid raps in the middle of the songs. Again...Duran is a BAND....drums, guitar, bass, and keyboards. Lets release Reportage and we'll see what the Band was really up to back then before they went astray and brought in the Timbajokes and RCM.

[Lollypops1198]

thanks love it how good does mr le bon look am sure he is 52!

[zenmama88]

If 50 is the new 20 then whooo hooo I am in my teens!

[ZaphodBeeblebrox69]

The tattoo says "Gela" which is the name of John's (second) wife.

[SRGots]

The hosts are stupid and annoying.

[MarcusDolby]

What's that on John's left arm above the elbow? Does he have a tattoo there? Anyway....best. Band. Ever. Can't wait til the new album!

[cherryicecream80]

Always love Simon.

[TradaBoy]

simons beard in action ... actually looks great

[basik273]

Żeby tylko John brody nie zapuścił.

[pranavc]

I love the new song but I am totally not digging Simon's new look.
