Warren is awesome - he really transformed their sound to something special. I wish he was still in the band. Medazzaland and Pop Trash were amazing!

2:56 - 3:34 , Warren Cuccurullo is a god.

I think this is the best line up they ever had. And I'm a Duranie all the way. We miss you Warren! Time to ask him back Simon!

@GRANTHAMRASTER I like Medazzaland and Pop Trash! Different band, but one I like, too. I'd like them if they were named "Bozoperous." There's no continuity with the old sound except Simon's voice, and that's OK. I respect them for it very much and liked it (although I objected at first).

Their "reunion" is typical, as usually was a bad idea, and it was incapable of capturing the old magic. Then again, nobody wants to hear the old magic. "Hungry Like the Wolf" could find no audience, now.

True, but towards the end before Warren left, and they released Medazzaland and Pop Trash, these had to be their worst albums of all time. They'd completely lost the Duran Duran sound, and sounded like they were jumping on the bandwagon of the late 90's indie sound. Not right for them at all. I reckon the reunion was the only way to get them in the limelight again, and at least get them sounding more like they used to. They're now bigger than they've been in the last15 years.

Unfortunately Duran Duran definately weren't the same sound without John Taylor on bass, whereas with a lot of bands you can easily replace the bass player, Duran aren't the same without John's unique bass sound. Itd also be the same problem if Nick or Simon ever left, whereby Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor were more easily replaced. This version looks like half of Duran though, with a couple of session musicians filling in on bass and drums. Definately not a touch on how they sounded in the 80's

Warren was much better than Andy. I undertand that the "reunion" was financially necessary, but musically? Just listen to the live recording with Warren and the recent live tracks with Andy (although he was good int the eighties).

This drummer also kicks ass, but I like Roger very much.

Simon is working his ASS off without the Taylor's around to play off of... Warren is of course the consummate pro...
