this video was done around the time Duran Duran was working on Notorious, hence john taylor's cameo. let's also not forget, from that album to parts of Medazzaland...the core members were nick, simon and john (john left while recording medazzaland and only appears on 4 tracks). personally, i would've liked to have seen where this side project could've gone. seemed to have more substance, musically
"So Red The Rose" was an album so rich in sounds that remind you of instruments from South America and Spain, and 'The Flame' is just proof of that. It's a pleasure to listen to this song on an Ipod. Minute 2:30 John Taylor with a contract at hand, back when he was 'Power Station', funny and Simon even with those glasses looks CUTE
Duran Duran (JT, Nick and Simon) were actually working on Notorious at the time when this video was made. I believe andy added some guitar work...but wasn't really a full member at that point. roger had basically shut himself out of the business altogether. i'm guessing he's gotten over it now or needs the money (or both...heh)
I can't understand what the whole video means.. I remember it when I was a child... why john shows a contract to nick.. why a train .. why nick saves simons life... why...
Most of the video relates to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", the contract thing has something to do with Andy leaving (the 1st time), I don't know about the rest. What IS up with the train thing?
iv never seen the video,thanks its brilliant!simon still looks great dressed like that,and love nicks blonde hair!John Taylor appearing from the closet...funny!
One of the funniest videos I've seen, without considering how beautiful is the song! I like this video!

There IS no Duran Duran without John Taylor. Arcadia was great, but they are so much better back together.

I LOVE this video. A little Gothic spoof, Rocky Horror-style. And to watch it now - Simon as Harry Potter with Nick as Draco Malfoy. Still fun.

@darthtigg I was thinking the same thing. Harry and Draco at Malfoy Manor.

It's supposed to relate to the board game Clue, too. Still don't know what's up with the train.
