  • A fabulous song from an underrated album. Despite what critics mentioned about it, Duran Duran are the best and know how to make music.

  • The soundtrack of my teenager years! AWESOME!

  • love this song!!

  • Not quite in the same league as Is There Something I Should Know, but still pretty good.

  • China-na China-nananaaa ♪

    My favourite part: 1:54!!! :D

  • hehehe, this song was amazing, is like a little movie itself, related the life of gangs during holydays...gangs, bikes, chicks, ehehhe, summer!! is one of the best Duran Duran songs, a excelent production and a great video, only Duran Duran can do it

  • temazo

    

  • This song actually sounds like it could have been written in 2011.

  • I appreciate this song more now than I did back in 1990

  • vIOLENCE OF SUMMER....FANTASTIC SONG!!!☆

  • I actually think that this song is just as good as 'Serious', so overall Liberty isn't a bad album really. This track still managed to sound 'current' when it was released in 1990, amidst the emerging Britpop/Dance takeover of that era, yet still has the energy and signature sound of their earlier records. Good stuff!

  • I was a junior in high school when Liberty came out, I know there are a lot of mixed reviews on the album but really, Duran Duran had awesome albums in the 90's, they were out of the 80's genre, and coming into their own, and the critics would bash them every chance they got, which made me love the band even more!

  • i love this song

  • I love this song and love this album.Totally underrated....

  • I quite love this song - its my "ear wurm" for today. I've listened to it 4 or 5 times I suspect. I love the synth pop/syncopation that Nick has in it. I love the gravelly sound Simon has later in the song as well. It's highly under-rated and fun. Hoping that they pull this one out and dust it off for the North American leg of the AYNIN tour!

  • Quite topical right now!

  • recuerdo esta musica como si fuera ayer

  • well if you anything about DD this album was banned in uk cause it was about affairs! they got it overturned but this one of very best albums that they brought out!

    They are the great band in the world, keep it up guys!!

  • What a great song

  • Pop trash in my opinion is thier best album, However liberty is too as well a masterpiece.

  • I suppose this song was dedicated especially to China. lol.

  • One of the best DD songs, I dont understand why they dont play it on the big concerts.

  • One thing I never liked about Duran Duran videos: the mudsharking. Not counting that this song is just plain horrible...

  • .I lov lov the twinkle synth at the end too ..

  • This was their most experimental album. Violence of Summer and Serious were the only ones that are really memorable for me.

  • por favor...no se puede creer lo lindo que esta simon en este video....

  • "While all the guys break heads in the sugar shack"

    Surely one of the worst lines of all time?

  • @AgenteDeMousse I disagree . . . it's a reference to a painting called "Sugar Shack" by Ernie Barnes. Google this & enjoy! ;-)

  • This is one of my favorite Duran albums, came out when is was 15.  It was so unique, and the energy and sentiment behind it spoke to me greatly during that time in my life...and still does to this day.

  • LIberty is an album vindicated by history.

  • @SigmaXVirus Agreed! Nicely put!

  • Comment removed

  • where did you get this video from? any dvd? I've got the Greatest Hits, and there's just a chopped off version of it. thanks.

  • Simon totally owned this one!! :)

  • I totally agree with you. The early 80's were mainly brit pop, madonna and michael jackson, early MTV bands. The mid-80's were the metal hairband era with BonJovi, Motley Crue,etc. Then the late 80' and early 90's it went into "club music" and hip hop, namely Paula Abdul, Vanilla Ice, Boys II Men, etc. Then came grunge music in the 90's. The late 80's and early 90's was definately a confusing time for a lot of musicians and not knowing which direction to go.

  • However saying that, Duran Duran stuck to their thing and survived, where many artists couldn't. I went to their concert in 2005 in a smaller venue and I have to say the music was timeless and everyone felt like they time travelled back to the early 80's..great show and awesome atmosphere!

  • grande duran duran

  • one of their best songs!

  • they make me so horny

  • Nice song!

  • This song is pure eloquence compared to the ugly heap of smouldering, stinking trash that is red carpet massacre

  • Has it really been 20 years? That's freakin scary!!

  • As I recall (can't be bothered with Google) this track did chart well in the UK so it was not a total flop album, but, as usual, many years after a release you go back and listen to Duran's stuff and sure enough this track and a few others are good

  • Good bye 80´s and wellcome to real world(or is it?)comes 1990`s and generation X!That happens in one town in US,Seattle.

  • love duran.........................­.

  • Previously I hadn't really cared for Duranduran until this came out, and it took me a while to get used to it but now I think it rocks. It's my fave song by them up there with Ordinary World. Interesting song for them, fusing electro pop with smatterings of heavy guitar riffs and that cheesy 60's organ tops this song well. And Warren Cucurollo has a fucking nice rack too. :D

  • underrated LP/CD by duran duran.

  • A really good sound that makes my woofers breathing!!

    100% Great! Go ahed Guys!

  • which one is tess daly

  • eilesprit are great for DD rariteies (or any band/singer really) been using them since 91 when I brought the Japanese Liberty CD for the extra tracks. Always brought the Japanese version of their albums ever since for the extra tracks.

  • MY...ALL...TIME...FAVORITE...D­URAN DURAN...SINGLE. i DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THIS SONG KICKS ASS.

  • beeeeeellisssima e....estiva!!!!!!^^

  • Fun song from an underrated brilliant LIBERTY record. Record was ignored by most but deserved many accolades.

  • I had the cassette single for this song(now long lost)...the b-side was a song calle "Yo bad azzizi"...a bit of  "Is there something I should Know" remix...now I can't find it anywhere!!!!!!!

  • @dariounited Singles Box Set 2, on disc 9. 

  • @dariounited I tried to add the link to Amazon, but it wouldn't let me. just do a search. it is probably cheaper on Evil-Bay, anyway.

  • @dariounited - I just found my cassette single for "Violence" and "Serious"! Now if I could find something decent to play them on.

  • Liberty is highly underrated. There are some solid tracks on that album!!

  • Kinda souding like Wham on this song.

  • Up-beat song that demonstrates DD's towering diversity. I'd watch the video just to see Nick's smile @ 2:32 - 2:33. Gotta love him...........

  • A track that never seems to the credit it deserves. One of their best. Brilliant.

  • Liberty was a solid album, filled with great songs that deserved more credit than it ever got.

  • Yet another underrated classic by Duran Duran - it was only a minor hit in the UK but it's a great summer song, fantastic tune. The Liberty album was a great album as well so if you haven't got it, get it - Great tunes such as Liberty, Serious and My Antartica

  • What song!!!So underrated,like the Liberty!!!One of the most happy songs of DD!

  • Tess Daly loos better in "Serious" than in this video

  • Just finished reading al 23 pages of comments...Laught my head off!! I realise that for about 4 years people have been asking why this album "liberty" wasn't a hit because it has good songs that still have a reverence in today's world. That is just the thing with this great band. It doesn't matter what time you are living in! The 80's, 90's or the 21st century DD makes a sound that is timeless and that my friends is THE POWER of DURAN DURAN.

  • this definitely isnt the bands strongest moment....

  • @mrlee192 But is a very good one lad!

  • Liberty is one of my favorite Duran Duran albums. It is so different, yet so in keeping with who they are. It boggles the mind that not more people enjoy DD because their music is so head-and-shoulders above the current drivel inundating the airwaves! Of course it does not help that they don't pander to the mindless consumers of music with lyrics that are smart and tongue-in-cheek, but I would rather listen to them in a loop than having to suffer through Ke$ha and co-hort.

  • Liberty is a vastly underated album.

  • so catchy, driving beat, funny, the whole thing about this song and the brill video really WORKS so well together...I remember being 18 the summer this came out, it floored me instantly, I recorded it off MTV & Im glad I did cuz MTV Europe never put it on rotation, they played it just about twice and it vanished without a trace. But then 1990 was all about Snap and Madonna, and btw, nothing really good ever got played after about 1988 so I naturally became a detective to get to the good stuff

  • Buen tema! me encanta! es que Simon sale hermoso! pero amo a mi John!

  • This is one of my FAVORITE D2 albums! Very strange & fun at the same time. No matter which direction their music goes, they will always be my favorite bands...

  • Something really different from DD!!!Exciting!

  • i love duran duran...I'm much 2 young for that music but love it

  • @Glubberin86 No such thing as too young or too old for Duran Duran. All ages can appreciate them.

  • Genial Sonido sin duda la transicion de los 80s a los 90s...mi preferida de Duran Duran, estos recuerdos de mi juventud siempre sonaran en mimente hasta el dia de mi muerte...

  • i like this song .

  • i just love this song!

  • That is Tess Daly!

  • @hotpatoodie according to wiki you are corrrect...

  • @hotpatoodie yep!! see also the tune Serious by DD

  • love DD

  • great song

    i never heard this one till now

    what other b side songs do they have?

  • Ellen Von Unwerth!!!!!!!!

  • Duran has so many hidden treasures and Liberty is one of them...a pleasure to discover!

  • A few comments: This video is simply one of the top DD videos ever made. The song is amazing. The off tune keyboards and the guitar work on this make it so catchy and interesting. This song got lost and should have been a huge hit. The rest of the album was one of my boys weaker contributions, though some of the songs like Serious and All Along The Water are impressive.

  • I think 1990 was a turning point for many bands. They were between 80's and 90's. Duran duran members are good and talented musicians, they managed to survived and released interesting albums such as the wedding album and metazalland.

  • @cosetilo5 Its Medazzaland.........

  • @Decodermusic You are so right! Thanks!

  • Great Duran song. Love it :x

  • Liberty was a rather obscure Duran Duran album which came out in 1990 when I was eleven years old and even though I technically grew up listening to Duran Duran, I wasn't familiar with this album until about 1998 or so. I now own a copy of Liberty on disc and the only puzzlement I have is, "Where has this album been all my life?" I love it now and the songs Violence of Summer and Serious are my true favourites.

    ~Mr. Make Believe

  • @HoldOnToYourDream along the waterway was my fav on this CD

  • @HoldOnToYourDream yeah the album flopped commercially but two of my fav tracks are "my antarctica" and "first impression"

  • @HoldOnToYourDream If you were a "REAL" and TRUE Duran Duran fan you WOULD have had ALL their CDs!!

  • What's that supposed to mean? Just because I never have owned all of their discs doesn't mean I'm not a big fan. What makes you feel you have a right to scream at me and lecture me?

    ~Mr. Make Believe

  • @HoldOnToYourDream Don't worry about such comments. Nobody can dictate who or what a "real" fan is. Loving Duran Duran music is enough to make you a true Duranie!

  • Liberty is my favorite album by far. I used to get cussed at by mof their music, my Duranie friends for that fact, and now they have all come around to liking it too. Duran Duran is often ahead of its time in terms of musical trends, and I guess that play against them oftentimes -especially when it comes to actual album sales. But, unlike so other bands from the 80s (looking at you, U2), they are not afraid to step out of the box , and for that they will remian my idols until the end of time.

  • i'm really happy to notice than..more and more people are now beginning to appreciate that real dark hidden jewel of a varied album called Liberty, it seems!..so totally distant from the so-called influences people (falsely) wanted Duran simply belonged to (Japan blablas, etc etc!): sure, that album is intelligent!, totally different, annoucing the years later electroclash movement themas, talking openly about drugs, sex, violence, etc..'funnily' or not..disturbed many close minded people..*)

  • This album was such a flop, but I like this song.

  • "Liberty" is GREAT album - you just need to discover it.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! I LOVE THE ALBUM!!! I soooo wish they would perform it live again! I hate the way the album gets dissed or ignored. & I wish the guys wouldn't do that 2. This song is fantastic & there is nothin wrong with it! Can't believe it's nearly 20yrs old! Still as fresh as eva! Simon is SO gorgeous & JT looks gr8 2. My perfect hot, summer anthem. x

  • Mi favorito es john, pero lo admito, Simon se ve sexi en este video.

  • I'm a long time fan of DD but I just love John Taylor so sexy!

  • I agree--Simon is HOT!!!! Love his hair. I like John's & Nick's too...I always liked this song too!

  • Simon is HOT,HOT,HOT,HOT.

  • Very good music !

  • a very catchy song (:

  • A hidden gem. This track never got the airplay it deserved. Truely one of my favorites.

  • Simon is so hot!! Love his hair in this video...I liked John's too--a little longer & kinda in his face--looked good

  • Good god spanky, put on a damn shirt. Not everyone wants to see that you damn douche.

  • @santachorry hahahahahahahahaha! brill comment!

  • Simon, I love you!!!!

  • ditto :D

  • Try his washing line.

  • Very diff for duran duran in 1990, but i like this song, hot girls as always????

  • love it

  • They can do every and they will do it good,all the time!

    I agree with one user's post that said the Duran did some very good music with Warren.

  • 1990.Best summer ever.

  • I liked quite a few of Duran's early singles, but I remember *not* liking this when it came out, possibly because the style was different.

    Listening now, it's frustrating because it sounds like there's a great song in there waiting to get out (nice hook) but it never quite gets there and ends up being repetitive.

  • They all look hot in this. Delicious!

  • There´s nothing wrong with this track!

  • this video IS in the greatest hits dvd its hidden in an easter egg go to serious on gallery le duran go to liberty album and click play at the top this will play with an interview

  • I hadn't seen this video in quite a while. I don't know why they didn't add it to the greatest dvd. They look like they had a blast making this vid. John looks so sexy in this.

    DD 4 Life!

  • I didn't know they made a video for this song! Simon looks damn good.

  • Comment removed

  • Y Depeche!!!!! y Duran Duran of course!!!!

    Hey! Pick it up!!

  • just a shell of what they once were at this point.

  • i love this ! simon is so hot ! and warren is the best !

  • BRILLIANT!

  • I agree!

  • I thought DD were much better when Warren Cucurrello was a member.

  • This is possibly the only Duran Duran album which is sub-par. (Yeah, even RCM is better than Liberty... and I'm saying this as a hardcore Duranie lol.)

    I don't find any of these songs on Liberty "catchy". They just don't have that lasting quality like "Hungry" or "I Don't Want Your Love".

    Serious was okay... but that was about this.

    And Simon is hot in this video, of course. =] Cheers.

  • Wow. Nice to see another of my type in here --- a hardcore Duranie!

  • @hersmart74 There are quite a few of us really. Me - lifelong hardcore Duranie. Loved them since 1981 and always will.

  • @MissNovemberTuesday i hear that..even though i'm a dude...duran and this SN are my top two alltime bands. and i like that SN of yours "bend your rubber rules"

  • @IIIIdepechemodeIIII I am always happy to find male Duranies. We sometimes affectionately call them Durmanies. ;-D Do you post on any of the boards? I am on DDM and Mark's board fairly regularly as well as FB, Twitter and MySpace.

  • @MissNovemberTuesday I'm a guy, and I've liked DD for years. My fondness has ebbed and flowed at times, but I think they're a great band and seriously underappreciated songwriters!

  • i dont care what you say Duran Duran are the best band ever! ,and red carpet massacre is an amazing album ,i havent heard a single bad album yet . they are gods and the dont get the respect they diserve.

  • possibly the nadir

    and with these guys that's saying something

  • Liberty!!!!!!!!

  • Good song and video

  • i love this song and my antartica from this album ! i love DD
