I know i will catch hell for this, but this mark ronson sucks. I love duran duran, but the collaborations lately haven't been that good to me. Timbaland and Justin Timberlake...yuck..now this person that wants to make their songs orchestral...why? I sure hope their new album isn't like that or it will flop...like their last few have.

[grrrrrpap]

Its not a collaboration with a pop artist, Mark Ronson is a producer with a wealth of knowledge across many genres with particularly good taste and reverence for the period from which the music came. At the very least its going to be interesting

Quote from Duran Duran "If scientists had gone into a lab and come up with the perfect producer the result would be Mark. He's a big fan of ours. So he's knows our history and has a remarkable knowledge of music in general from punk to disco and rock. "

I'd kill for this soundboard recording.

Gotta love the ppl who sit on other ppls shoulders to "see" meanwhile everyone behind them can't. A slingshot would remedy that...real quick.

@wawijr awww man that sucks. I hate those fans too...so annoying and inconsiderate of everyone around them. No need to scream like that. Next time, bring a blow horn with ya and direct it right behind their head. LOL!

@WinterStream would that someone be female a little on the heavy side, about 40, who suddenly turned 14 & truly believed it was 1984, did not stop screaming in a shrill piercing voice, so you couldn't hear one note of the show? I know those kind .i hate female Duran Duran fans, ( hate is a strong word, couldn't think of a stronger one) they ruin every one DD show (12). 40 yrs old acting as if they are Jonas Bros. They dont listen 2 DD. just scream. Yea Ima bitter old man, paid big bucks 2 be.

Been thru the worst and the best to the worst since 78.not impressed with anything Ronson has done. cuz a producer of the day is doing his faveband,i bet we get Madazzaland 2.DD needs some1 who is not a fan,who will tell them what will & wont work.DDs best r Rio & Astronaut. Red Carpet crap.the LP made B4 Andy left should have next.Oh no we got Justin&Timbaland on Red Carpet, how can it POSSIBLY fail? Justin & Timba gave DD crap that they didnt want.so some naff club kids said get Ronson

Honestly, I've heard nothing yet of Ronson's collaboration with Duran which impresses me. Perhaps their album will be better, but so far... A View to a Kill is a fantastic song live - honestly, much better than the studio recording - but they muss it up with this opening. Luckily, during their most recent show, they went back to the traditional interpretation.

@vagrantblues the timbaland produced album was a marketing ploy which backfired.not on duran but the record company and left a sour taste in the fans mouth.the only single released was falling down.

why wasnt skin divers released and marketed at the rn b crowd..

madonna and justin was done that way.

[WinterStream]

Nothing more irritating then going to a performance only to have some jackass sitting on someones shoulders so nobody can see shit!

[krysteff]

Try "New Religion" !
