Duran Duran - Careless Memories

[consciousconsummer]

i wonder .... was le bon's hair washed ?

[KoishiSEVEN]

Man, I finally found the video :D I'm 14 as well and started listening to this band 5 years ago. These guys rock!!!

[gol8ify]

@JamiroValen I'm 14 also! I went to there concert earlier this year and it was amazing! They're my favorite band and I'm glad you like them too! I hope you get to see them in concert soon! :D

[ISKANDERUM]

playing the fucking bass, john...

[OMGitsRACHO]

Seen them live last week. I'm 17 & I honestly didn't see ANYONE around the same age as me. More young people need to appreciate this band, they're awesome!

[arrowhen]

@OMGitsRACHO I saw them live at the age of 14... 25 YEARS AGO and I didn't see anyone the same age as me. Good music is timeless.

[arrowhen]

When I was a kid I thought this song was punk rock, because it talked about guns and shit.

Now, after years of music education, I no longer think it's punk rock (although the bassline still reminds of the song from Repo Man), but it still sounds awesome!

[discojet]

Actually, it is a way of playing. Slap bass.

[MystyWater]

Very 1981... So used to the live recordings of this song...

[Duranie747]

Hah HAH! Finally I've found this video. I like Simon's hair in it, it suits him. Mind you, Nick looks nice with dark hair.

[Bigsn13]

Does anyone know who that mysterious woman is in the video? She's on the cover of this single, the reverse side of which has Fame and Khanada. I've always been curious about her identity. 

[MathematiquesModern]

@Bigsn13 it's Perry Haines girlfriend. Perry directed the video and was also Duran's stylist at this time.

[Bigsn13]

@MathematiquesModern I actually just tried googling some info you offered, but didn't come up with anything about the girlfriend- just about Perry. But thank you for the info- and for sharing the vid, it's one of my favorites! :-)

[MathematiquesModern]

@Bigsn13 - I don't know her name, but I know this is factual as I was informed by someone who used to work with the band.

[Bigsn13]

@MathematiquesModern That's cool! Without divulging anything you know that's too personal, or inappropriately "gossipy", of course- might you considering adding some of that trivia you know of to the details of the vid or the band (such as what you answered to me)- to your description therein? I know I'd love that, as I'm sure would any older "Duranies" like myself! :-)

[MathematiquesModern]

@Bigsn13 Don't really know what you mean? I've sort of said everything I can add to your question.

It was Perry Haines girlfriend on the sleeve and if it's the same girl in the vid. as on the sleeve…

I don't know their name. Perry had recently left St Martins (fashion journalism) - so maybe she was at St Martins. Maybe not. Why don't you try contacting the photographer - Peter Ashworth? He will probably know who she is, let me know if you get an answer?

[Bigsn13]

@MathematiquesModern Oh I didn't mean any more about the woman- I just meant, if you were well acquainted with the person who worked with the band on the vid, perhaps there might be little tidbits of trivia you might know, just random things. Kind of like "Pop up videos", if you remember that show! But no worries- I'm fine just enjoying the video as is. Thank you for taking the time to respond, though! :-)

[MathematiquesModern]

@Bigsn13 = they didn't work on the video. all I know is the video was shot in Soho. the band were not that happy with the video - there are two cuts/versions/edits of the video.

[Bigsn13]

@MathematiquesModern I've seen both versions- the differences are quite subtle, I thought. I personally love either one. :-)

[1gerico]

SEMPRE FAVOLOSI.

"My reputation precedes me."

[kpdc26]

Wow, I thought I've seen every Duran Duran video. I remember this song from the concerts but I don't recall the video. I was young and living in Germany so we didn't get MTV and by the time I got back to the states it was '84/'85. Thanks for posting.

[tgmitw]

너무 멋져 음악도 좋아

[Biggie032]

Excuse me...I am trying to find a certain video of Duran Duran and I have spent 2 hours searching for every video they made but haven't found that one...the problem is I can't remember the title of the song and I know I liked it (i like alot of their work)

The video features Simon with black hair, not too short, who s laying on a bed (i presumed it is a cell of some kind but i dont know) and he rolls on the bed and sits on it singing, i think it is eighter black&white or dark lighted. Help????

[Simon4642]

@Biggie032 i prety much know all of them...i have no idea...but if you find it let me know

[Biggie032]

@Simon4642 I started to wonder if I saw a glimpse of "come undone" and mistaken window blinds for jail cell bars or something....but I don't think so...I will try to find it once again anyway and then I will stop if I don't.

[DuranieRhodes]

Can I marry all of them? (Except Andy. :P) Honestly, never seen a sexier group of men with amazing music talent. Love love LOVE Nick's keyboards in this. And John's slapping of the bass. (Instead of slapping that bass he should slap....... ;P) Lol ohhhh I love being a Duranie.

[ddconda]

Gosh soo young, such a great band, I love my Duran Duran memories!!!

[theprayeronline69]

Lovely

[MrPatosaavedra]

[biffmuncher23]

[deborahdearn]

[BEBEDODE1]

WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT DURAN DURAN, I THOUGHT WHO ARE THEY, BUT AFTER LISTENING TO THEIR SONGS, I REALISED I LOVE THEM.

[kirazinn]

[tamagic99]

Ah the 80's, sh_t was so much better then!

[mammerz]

[Noodles37UK]

[LuluxM3za]

beautiful music..  ;)

[LuluxM3za]

wooo.. yes they all get look very hottttt..!!! xD

[babyruth70]

duranie forever! roger and john - very hot!

[cardinaldriver]

I remember getting made fun of by a few dudes in middle school back when I wore a "Seven & The Ragged Tiger" tour shirt to school, but guess who every girl in the school was suddenly questioning me about the show that day! I did not then and never will have any regrets calling these guys one of all time faves.

[1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh]

@cardinaldriver Ditto! These guys were really kick ass musicians and great performers.

[moxie96]

@cardinaldriver I still want that shirt. I wanted it at 5 and still want one now as a sleepshirt, My current fella hates dd with a passion. I tell him nothing about my still undying love for john taylor and deep appreciation for nick rhodes and my dream mentor that is simon and the drummer I could become like roger If I drop guitar that I did end up with like andy. I was lucky to see them as this formation when they reunited in 2003, made up for 20 years of wishing hard since 5 yrs old!

[AntonioGuamil]

@cardinaldriver yup we just love them because they make great music period.

[m1kewithaone]

hey i like duranduran and i dont' care what anyone says! .... oh, nobody's saying anything. cool. well then how about this, i also like 'pet shop boys'........! how does that grab you! .... nothing? ok, ok then, how about 'snif n the tears' with 'drivers seat'? ok then, i'm outa here!

[jazz84xoxo]

Where are you now?, cause I don't want to meet you. Ahahahahaha!! <3

[shpshftr66]

Great song but hate the puffy shirts.

[madras1975]

[SpacehotelMusic]

how the **** can anyone thumb this down! - awesome song!

[Noodles37UK]

@SpacehotelMusic A Spandau fan who couldn't afford both bands with their pocket money. I chose these guys.

[deborahdearn]

me 2 a DURANY till i die : )

[CahBr]

muito boa

[cmilkvetch]

john's tapping on bass

is that one way of playing?

thats been mistery

[Lhiannon]

@cmilkvetch Yes it's called slap ass but that's not how the bass riff in this song was played at all

[RushtonKierraJordan]

@cmilkvetch Sure, some people play bass that way; black people, often

[boingolol]

@cmilkvetch Nop it's not. it was only for the purpose of videos, he did the same in the video my own way. Technically you cannot play with an open hand like he does and having a recquired sound we can ear. ciao

[WeeklyAd3]

haayeeaaah!

[1ellegi]

S U P E R L A T I V I ( J. Taylor: il migliore)

[NononNonnonn]

yes this song is enjoyable one in live

as well as New Religion,ASWI,GOF･･･

[jennifer03878]

John's bass playing is insane in this! Such a great song to hear live!!! I honeslty don't think there's a better bass player out there!!!

[MARIANWN]

@jennifer03878

yeah, and he's sooo underrated....

[jellyfishsterne4]

lol

he was also making film

[jellyfishsterne4]

he also had basketball team

whats the core? lol

[jellyfishsterne4]

he said his band @university played PUFFY etc.and many of his band members were DD fan.

[BellaBooKitty]

All I can think of is the Seinfeld "Puffy Shirt" episode :D

[NononNonnonn]

i had known only The Reflex by ear not knowing its DD.

（i recognized them with Notorious）

[Dragslo]

My first DD tune I heard :D

[NononNonnonn]

He may be more comfortable with less illumination now again!!

[NononNonnonn]

he trully LOVES DRUMMING

[NononNonnonn]

hes most handsome when sincerely drummin

[xoxxobob]

My God does Roger Taylor ever age?

[mitsubaclover]

[thegerrie19561]

Duran Duran at it best.

[mitsubaclover]

[lissiwill]

[RoseOSharon]

This is my all time fave DD song!! :D

[PalmTreeMechanism]

The only good thing I inherited from my father is the love I have for Duran Duran.

[WitchdoktahArms]

just had to push the like button, Duran Duran fan since back in the Day. I'm 37 now and really feeling the new track. It has gone back to the original DD sound.

[quisqueya75]

Rocking my soul to heaven

[HeskethBang]

[NononNonnonn]

[bolmsp]

[mitsubaclover]

it truly is.

[MrsTokyorose]

Wonderful video :)

[jellyfishsterne4]

i was happy though

[LuckyInJuly]

LeBon was quite a mover in his own unique way back in these old clips.

[jellyfishsterne4]

one of my friends said wanna see you solo someday･･･dreamy･･･

[NononNonnonn]

@aimsren

yeah,girls were NECESSARY factor for them to alive but if shes killed theyre not male anymore･･

[robbos44]

the best eclectic rock band of the 70/80 who duran supported in there early days were classix nouveaux...thats eclectic not electric..

[sduddy]

@robbos44 is it a dream sal solo

[aimsren]

if it wernt 4 girls on film duran duran wud have bin dropped coz this didn't do very well chartwise!

[NononNonnonn]

you mean shadowy abt this song or your life back then?

[8g9ftso]

...I love it. There are very few bands/ artists who can take me back to the shadowy world of memory in the blink of an eye (or with a song, as the case may be). This group is on that short list.

[mitsubaclover]

that can be said one of big features of this vid.

[mitsubaclover]

hes so nice in this vid.

[loriena7x7]

First Duran Duran video I saw and ever since I've had a thing for Roger. =)

Great memories....

[jellyfishsterne4]

it was quite mystery you @such place

[jellyfishsterne4]

is You Tube fashion?

i felt this trashbox at first･･･

[MrTamerlan1980]

these guys were in fashion..

[mitsubaclover]

@julieanddavid

i was often jogging around it when highschool student lol

[jellyfishstern3]

＞and he was like nick;i thought he quitted C for some artistic job?

dont you think he should really quit and get that sort of job if he does that sort of action @office?

[yotubanoklover]

yes, my own way was also unique work with latin taste. it's missed.

[dawnsbrother68]

The earlier stuff was by far there best music, why was this and my own way not on the greatest. thanks for this video, its going on my favorites.

[dloch1969]

Their first album for me was still arguably there best!! What an original sound, especially NIck's synths' !!!!! Miss the 80's brothers and sisters, great time to go to High School, everyone was different!!! And we wore belts, :)!!

[bregreen72]

my favourite track from the first album still have the album cassette and it still works

[yotubanoklover]

YES,was thinking just on the line of 3.

this is valuable as not included in GREATEST

[THEZWORLD]

found this song recently...very cool tune

[yotubanoklover]

not quite 80s

scent of new wave literally

[SLARServet]

A very '80's videoclip! Long live New Wave and Duran Duran

[yotubanoklover]

＞Nick made John meet Si, but pulled J back to him

2002-03

i had thought how fair and brave when Nick let me free to T.

[yotubanoklover]

@julieanddavid

btw why youre nick fan not si?

i just thought he（si）s too big（with C behind）

[yotubanoklover]

@julieanddavid

btw why youre nick fan not si?

i just thought he（si）s too big.

[jellyfishstern3]

@bryngOneOn

but listen, when i entered cherry's DD site after 3years absence in 2006, it hit the timing he wrote abt "Kafka on the Shore" in Simon's bookshelf corner @official site.

[olangensaft]

where is it?

i know now hes @chelsea?

[olangensaft]

@bryngOneOn

lol

i often imagined in train Simon sitting at sheat in front of me!

i met John（Hilton Osaka&Tokyo）, Nick（L.V. airport）, Warren（L.V. airport&in front of his house,London） and have photoes next to them, but no Simon!

[julieanddavid]

@olangensaft ive met simon not at a concert outside of his dads house in 86

[debacchanal]

Anyone else think the girl in this video looks like Michael Sheen. :P He's in absolutely everything! :-)

[DavidJeffersonTull]

Excellent song, one of their best!

[TheOceanSwanEternal2]

23 dislikes? oh how pathetic is that..

[SydnRain]

Look Out! Look Out! (for those tulip pedals)

[n0tb0x1]

lyrics would be nice.

[kananiwatchesyt]

I am a DURANY til the day i die!

[americanmonarchist]

@kananiwatchesyt Me too!

[theseventhstranger1]

@kananiwatchesyt  me too!

[yotubanoklover]

＞0:10, 1:00, 2:13, 2:42, 2:47, 3:16････

yes, a lot of nice moments.

its nice having playing scene

[yotubanoklover]

@jtgiselle

Nick made John meet Si, but pulled J back to him

2002-03

[matsilverdamon]

and he was like nick;i thought he quitted C for some artistic job?

[matsilverdamon]

i thought;WHY on earth she show such thing??

then i hit upon; well she thought me HAPPY（or will be）, all right･･･

[matsilverdamon]

i thought noa was like giselle;you showed me photoes

[jtgiselle]

0:10, 1:00, 2:13, 2:42, 2:47, 3:16 the moments john especially takes my breat away! ;)

[jtgiselle]

OHHH JOHN! there´s no words to explain how much I love your look in this video! YUM!

[olangensaft]

i FELL IN LOVE with them by their earliest 3 vids when i was 17.

[MissVfromCali]

"That guy that plays bass" is John Taylor. ;)

[d0min0danc1ng]

I love that mohawk / mullet hair style on that guy that plays the bass..

[levisguy53]

the greatness of this track prob has something to due with all of the musical elements combined - you can hear john's syncopated bass line, the guitar riffs of andy, roger's rhythmic drum beats, nicks' pulsating synth beats, and simon's distinctive vocals

[mobyboy]

22 people are careless when they press buttons

[DonnaMusic21]

@mobyboy : 23 people are careless now.. all bieber fans i guess

[acanderson1000]

@mobyboy that is true, however, it is now 27 careless peeps!

[pedrofaba]
