Nick You are the Best!!!John,Simon,Roger, I cant beleive that after 30 years You can do so good music!! Listen the way that bass-keys-drums-guitar-vocals sound together, thats the escence of good music
I'm a Machinima SPecialist Director; I love duran's video, but take a look to my videos if you like machinima; the avatars open and close mouth and act as real actors; the cry, the're happy, they're sad.... check my playlist... I'm a second life lover...
This song isn't literally about Second Life. At least i don't think so. I think they mean "second life". It's the "Law & Order" syndrome -- you automatically think of the show, but more likely than not it's not talking about it. Sorry to burst bubbles.
Actually they ARE talking about "Second Life", they have a presence IN the game as characters themselves and performed a "Virtual Concert" inside Second Life. The lyrics "Gonna make some cash with that avatar" is the biggest giveaway. That's what you can do in Second Life. So, consider the bubble re-inflated. It is INDEED about "Second Life".
Absoutley, MOST of Simon's lyrics are "open to intrepretation" and are not really about anything in particular (other than some personal experience to which he won't share). That's one thing (of many) that I really like about their music.....it means many things to many different people. I STILL don't know what a "Union of the Snake" is supposed to mean....LOL! Sounds "dirty and fun" though! Cheers!
@TeknosapienVideos I thought Union of the Snake was talking about something to do with MI5, MI6, the CIA or the FBI. Spies. Stuff like that. Or maybe I've just been watching too much Spooks recently...
I have seen some of this footage before in the "welcome to secondlife" video made by Phaylen. I wonder why the video dose not give credit to who actually filmed it. Does Tekno film any of it himself or just use other peoples work? I like the song and choice of footage!!
TEKNO REPLIES "Most of the footage I use I find on websites like YouTube and Google and BuscaTube etc. Some gets E-mailed to me without any credits or information AT ALL. It is just impossible to "credit" everyone in the video itself, especially as some of my videos have literally DOZENS of sources. I did post "credits" on the text descriptions for the videos (When I had my own page that is) and on my MySpace page. Those "credits" get lost when other people (like TEKNOSAPIENVIDEOS) post them."
TEKNO CONTINUES "So far, noone has complained of my "re-cutting" of their videos & noone has asked me to stop making them. I've had several "cool" comments from people who spotted their videos inside my "video remixes". Duranies are pretty cool in that regard. I give everyone "props" for the great footage that gives me the chance to make new videos! I always say, without them there would B NO TEKNO videos."
Thanks 2 TEKNOSAPIENVIDEOS 4 forwarding "stampshady"s comments to me. CHEERS!
Love the video!! love the song, it makes me grin every time i hear it :-) i've been on sl for over a year now and have been really enjoying myself as well as meeting hundreds of other durannies. we are all still looking forward to the islands opening and really hope DD will perform this one in sl soon!! all the best! (paul stuchka. sl) ps, to nick rhodes we miss all the messages, could you do a new one for us? it would mean the world? :-)
Hi, Tekno ! You did it again !! Great video !! One of my favourite tracks on the album. Congratulations ! If you can, take a look at my video for "Tempted". Hope you like it...
I absolutely love you, Teknosapien. You always capture my babies in "the best light". Keep up the good work!!!

That sucks...Duran Duran must be owned by Viacom. On the plus side, I seriously doubt the band is behind it.
It's a great video, Teknosapien.

Consider myself defeated. But I still like to think about it beyond the scope of Second Life. It lends itself to other meanings.

Yeah I just don't think they would alienate that many listeners. Most people have no clue waht second life is.
