I think Simon has the lyrics right on. They are HIS lyrics since he was the artist who created the words to the song. 1987 for Duran just simply switching things up to make things interesting for the genre of pop music..
The drum sound is perfect , Steve Ferrone is an amazing drummer. i remember watching this on a Friday night in 1987, and then the repeat on Sunday lunchtime. This was Duran at their 2nd best!
didnt spend too much time on the drum sound, but at least it is live! The first single from Astronaut, Sunrise, was pure Duran Duran and was brilliant. It was as if they had picked up from where they left off with View to a Kill. Then the rest of the album just was a totally different vein. And Red Carpet Massacre? A disaster.
The best in years, may be, esp after some of the crap they have produced. However, as an album it is crap. There are two decent songs on it, but in general it sucks and it surely isnt DD.
You should not comment on things you dont like.RCM and Astronaut are fantastic albums.Not just the song Sunrise,but the whole Astronaut album is great. You say things like that 'coz you dont value good music.
This is from when they were playing around with the arrangements of their older songs, bringing them into the funk world of the Notorious sound. I remember really liking the new sound live.
Duran always had their limits, but this is quality while.. good god "Red Carpet Massacre" is a Disaster! why cant duran go new wave again? Since its coming back anyway
Indeed it is. He was actually a really good replacement for Andy. I wish they had him now even though this new album sounds like it is severely lacking with guitar.
To Anyone who is watching this. This live version sucks. Watch the live version from 1982, with the original band. It Rocks!

Agreed, they should have had him from the start he's got such groove and presence- his kit sounds awesome- he was on Notorious album wasnt he ?

Steve Ferrone, he's got the style. But I still love Roger Taylor.
