andy taylor you are the best

They never should have kicked Cuccurullo out for Andy Taylor-Looks like he was short on cash, went baxck for a reunion, made a pile of it, then left for the same reason he left in the first place. (ie irreconcilable gulf etc) Good riddance-BRING BACK CUCCURULLO!

So what? dont be such a cry baby!

Just leave DD and kiss andy's poster, DONE..!!

Duran without Andy is like The Beatles without JL. Also enjoyed them as three or four was ok. Looking forward to the infamous Reportage Album. I feel DD sold out a bit when Cuccurullo was with them. Don't get me wrong, Ordinary World is a great song, but is very guitar dominant, which was against the ethos of the group when Andy was with them. I have recently listened to many DD tracks again with a fresh ear and the track What Happens Tomorrow is a masterpiece for them IMO.

great video, thanks for posting! very interesting to hear Andy's parts up front and hear what he does live. Really brings it to Ordinary World. What was the last song at around 5:25?

in a perfect world we would like to see the original band perform live if we went to see them,

i was lucky enough to see DD original line-up in glasgow 2005,

watching AT, SLB & JT interact on stage was something very special to see,

i miss andy taylor but still love what DD.

It is not all about andy. They sold more with out andy. It is more about the union od Duran

I agree with the poster who said, 'listen to the music, forget the people.' The more you dig into these guys (as with MANY other bands) the more you kind of hate them. The only one of them for me, who I hold no judgement over is Roger, who, according to the rest of them, never touched drugs, was always quite shy and reserved and got pushed around a lot by the others. He's also an excellent drummer. I love new wave, but the band members are usually just like other genre's band members.

Last time I checked, Andy left DD and they don't need him.

[CrassMufumbu]

Yeah..Andy is great and they need that rock edge for their next Album although AYNIN is one of their best ever. But he can be a bit unwieldy, a lot of their songs are about control and he seems to go out of control live, and not in a good way..at the beginning of this tour he was awesome..by the end of this tour his guitar playing got overbearing..he was overplaying everything until it sounded like a sloppy drunken mess. I read he left due to compensation issues (less for him) & old wounds.

sure that isnt Esteban?

[debterry]

Andy provides the rock edge needed for DD. Without Andy, DD are too pop. The boys need to bring him back. The five princes of music forever! I love Andy!
