DURAN DURAN - 1993 THE WEDDING ALBUM REACTION/BREAKDOWN

[@glitterkitty]

Apologies for anyone who thought I was acting a bit ‘insensitive’ during ‘Sin of the City’. Going into it, I had NO IDEA that the song was about a real life incident. I originally thought they were just trying to depict ‘city chaos’.

[@Sleepdriver1984]

Don't worry, unfortunately nobody even remembers that massacre nowadays! :) Anyway, I believe the Liberty vibe you hear in "Drowning Man" might lead to "Venice Drowning"

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

How did you get into DD? We all have a story. Mine is losing my grandma, moving to a new neighborhood, attending a drama school, and meeting my first love all in the same year as this record was played on the only station that played electro rock, trip hop, and house. I used to daydream music videos telling a story to each and every song from the record. I just felt reborn at that time.

[@depecheddurand]

One of my fav songs from the wedding album.

[@АлексейРумянцев-д3о]

Очень люблю Sin of the City, и в исполнении John Taylor Terroristen тоже! Какое соло Уоррена в конце, ого-го! На моём диджипаке с бонусным диском, постоянно запись застревала, диск ставал. Аккуратно протёр, было липкая смазка. Позже узнал, что весь тираж с браком. 🇷🇺 ❤

[@cocteauireland]

oy vey No it was an event certainly not reported at time

[@DonRosa949]

Sin of the city, es mi canción preferida de este album. Tiene tanta energía. Es una forma de reiterpretar el rock, de una forma tecnológica y llena de sonidos duros tomados desde el sintetizador. Warren Cucccurullo es el motor de esta canción, junto una magnífica voz de Simón.

[@nnunes_vc]

I totally agree with you. Thanks to Warren who managed to maintain DD in the 90s until the early 2000s.

[@MrDrum1969]

Ordinary World is my favourite song of all time . Back in 1993 , I was on a dialysis machine 3 times a week , I was only 23 . This became my survival song because I had to find a way to find the Ordinary World which I did , because in 1994 after 2.5 years on dialysis I got a kidney transplant which still works to this day . Now in 2023 , I'm recently divorced and once again have to find the Ordinary World but I will . I will survive ...

[@glitterkitty]

Thank you for sharing this. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, especially at such a young age. I wish you all the very best and sending you lots of positive energy for the future.❤

[@MrDrum1969]

Thanks Glitterkitty, I love your analysis on Duran Duran albums .

[@horrorfan8504]

@@glitterkittyfor me, Ordinary world is by far my Duran Duran’s favorite song. It hits deep on emotional level and your reaction was just beautiful and heartfelt

[@glitterkitty]

RE: ORDINARY WORLD: I really struggled to talk through Ordinary World. I know the lyrics of the song are very personal to Simon but after connecting with other fans of Duran Duran, I’ve learned that the song carries a lot of weight and emotion for them. Simon was once asked in an interview, what the most touching comment from a fan was and he responded with: “I can’t put my finger on a specific comment but I’ve received a lot of letters from people for whom the song Ordinary World is a real healer”. From Simon’s point of view, I think the lyrics address his loss and grief of losing a close friend but also about how he’s learning to move forward and to cope in a world that is no longer as special without his friend in it - it’s just ordinary.

[@zorin79]

Halfway through pandemic lock down I relistened to OW and got very emotional too and I have heard the song often since it came out. Totally understandable to have it stir up emotions becuase everyone lost something/someone during it and not alot of media has acknowledged it the trauma of the lock down/pandemic. Good for u to acknowledge it and only share as much as u want publicly. ♥️

[@anthonyf.9457]

That’s a beautiful quote. Such a great song with one of the band’s most powerful lyrics. I’m glad as a Duran Duran life that this song reached, touched and brought in a new generation of new Duran Duran fans 😊👍🏾

[@timdyer5903]

It is a touching song really. The words a lot to Simon and others listening and interpreting for themselves in their situations. I was at university in 1993, 500km from home. Experienced some loss. Change of life.

[@realityboost4405]

G, that you got so emotional listening to this wonderful album is why we know you're 'real' and why any right-thinking person should love you! 🥰😀

[@theadventuresofjimmycrapol8827]

all the prettiest girls in the 80s loved Duran Duran... glad that hasn't changed.

[@glitterkitty]

This is a big album so I have a top 5, not a top 3 this time: 1. Come Undone 2. Ordinary World 3. Love Voodoo 4. Too Much Information 5. Femme Fatale If I was to stretch to a 6th I’d do U.M.F.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

John Taylor wasn't on bass on the album version of Come Undone.

[@dragasan]

I absolutely love, Love Voodoo. My goodness, erotic memories from a time long since past. ❤️

[@robertt4176]

Breath after Breath was always my favourite track This LP came out whilst I was living in Spain Great music for not a great time in my life

[@Soundtonik]

Totally agree! Breath after Breath is a masterpiece 🔥

[@eduardodanielrappaoppezzo1888]

When i hear for the first time Ordinary World is was 9 years old and for now stills for me my favourite song ever in my life. I love Ordinary World.

[@ThomasStark-j1y]

The electric guitar solo in ordinary world is one of the best in the entire music world/History ☝️💪💪

[@davestott4412]

When I saw Duran Duran in Birmingham earlier this year, it was 2 months after my mother passed away. Once Ordinary World was played, I sobbed in front of 14,000 people, specifically through the first verse. It's really ok to show your emotions, and not suppress them. Loving your videos btw. Having been a DD fan for nearly 40 years, it is refreshing to see someone discover the band who is a similar age to my own offspring. So pleased you have found them.

[@glitterkitty]

Appreciate your comment Dave and my sincere condolences for your loss. I think it is important to share your emotions and be in the moment with them. All the best to you. 🙏🏻

[@RR64434]

No need to apologize for your commentary breaks in the songs. That’s what we are here for. We all know these songs like the back of our hand. I just love hearing other people’s takes on the band that we all love.

[@glitterkitty]

Thank you Reuben. Appreciate this so much 🙏🏻

[@davereece7602]

You say, a "mixed bag". I've always used the word, 'eclectic ', to describe Duran Duran's albums from the Wedding Album in 1993 up to this very day.

[@realityboost4405]

Come Undone…DD's second greatest song, after Ordinary World.

[@mikebraams]

The last track ‘Sin of the City’ is my favorite track!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@glitterkitty]

Sin of the City is the one song I keep going back to!

[@wolfhawk1999]

It's okay, I cry sometimes when I hear that song as well. Even hearing it on the radio growing up, I knew Ordinary World had a haunted, ethereal quality to it. Growing up and learning the meaning of the song, somehow I could feel the "ghost" of that even as a kid. Beautiful song, seriously one of the best songs ever written.

[@Kdrive23]

I gotta go with Breath After Breath as my favorite from this album. Wish they would play this live, too.

[@mariflame1821]

Most of the songs on this album are really good, especially, of course, Ordinary World and Come Undone! I also really like Femme Fatale, Breath after Breath, and Too Much Information. Love Warren's guitar!!!!

[@realityboost4405]

Yep. G!…And even then it was a struggle for Duran…I'm blessed to have bought the gatefold sleeve double- single release of Too Much Information…It ROCKS!

[@willh1970]

This was the album that, in my humble opinion, allowed Duran to cross over from the 80s into a completely new audience/world. A tour de force. I had been working in record (yes, actual records!) stores between '89 and '93 and there was a very quick change in styles and if this album didn't happen then the next 30 years of Duran would not have happened. But it did. And the last 30 years of Duran did too. And for that I, for one, am very grateful.

[@eduardodanielrappaoppezzo1888]

I love this album, and i love your emotion when you hear the songs. I love too Ordinary World and the mood of this songs. Saludos desde Argentina.

[@mcpoeman]

Cracking album. Too much information was my ‘get ready for a night on the town’ tune back in the day. Love the way you embrace the songs we adore.

I maybe wrong but this Lp was like a make or break period with it being made on limited resources and recorded in the house … it was a sad era for the band after Liberty and when this dropped it was so uplifting that they were BACK

[@johnnyskinner9944]

My second favourite Duran album, and in my opinion Durans most diverse album And Durans most complete track ever, the impeccable brilliant epic Sin of the city 😎😎😎😎

[@glitterkitty]

Kept going back to ‘Sin of the City’. It’s a fantastic song!

[@cocteauireland]

album provisionally called ‘four on the floor’ At warren’s house they just went for it Record company at a distance; so cud produce a piece like sin of the city

[@bukitkatilmp]

Although The Wedding Album was a great comeback for Duran Duran in the 90's, it was better known for the outstanding singles in the album. It was the last age of singles then, before the record labels stopped it altogether. As a die hard, I liked the Thank You album just as well, although the powers that be deemed it was a poor effort. Well, even Led Zeppelin and Lou Reed thought that Thank You was great!

[@glitterkitty]

I’m looking forward to ‘Thank You’. I’ve already read a few scathing reviews about it. 😂

[@j.4811]

Great album! Excited for Medazzaland as its my favourite 😊

[@glitterkitty]

Just wanted to quickly chime in with another comment that didn't make the video. The drums at the end of the album, especially in the closing of 'Sin of the City' remind me a little bit of Michael Jackson's album 'Dangerous'.

[@sanjayarman]

Your emotions are so humbling with your tears during “Ordinary World”. Like you, I also attended their “Future Past” concert tour, except I did here in Portland, Oregon, last month on June 1. This song resonates with so many people at a very deep inner level. When Ordinary World was performed I looked around, as my personality is to naturally observe as a Psychotherapist, and I was absolutely overwhelmed when seeing the emotions at such a large scale. The whole stadium had a sense of the feeling of unity and oneness. Dr. Sanjay Kumar

[@glitterkitty]

That sounds like an amazing experience! I remember when everyone turned on their phone torches during ‘Save a Prayer’ and that in itself was amazing 🥰

I love this album. Heard it a lot through my adolescence and represented all my chaotic moods and feeling with its different genres along the songs. I loved your interpretation and respectfulness about it since it ia easy to hurt others interpretation/ feelings. This is the 1st time see you but I will check your videos and probably do some requests for other albums. You made my day!

Hi Kitty, thank for re-descovering all the DD albums. And today is the DD Appreciation Day in America..One thing for sure is that i'm so proud of those 5 boys singing and playing for 40years with so many great and different songs..they never give up, and Simon seems to me like the best friend trying to tell us don't give up even in the darkest time. There is a concert 2000 in Bethlehem you can find online, John was not there and I think Simon felt so lonely on the stage, and before playing OW he admit how importat the song have been for DD to going on...moving ♥️

[@DerBomster]

When I first listened to it, my immediate reaction was "So THIS is what they were aiming at with Liberty but this time they hit the mark." - it's better in almost any way. Standouts for me are Come Undone and Sin of the City (especially the bridge and ending). BTW, there is a recent three-part documentary "The Road to Medazzaland" on youtube that combinded quite a few interesting interviews with the various producers of their albums. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a look.

[@andy_omusic3217]

"Ordinary World" is timeless and probably motivates listeners to continue to live. By the way, Duran Duran dedicates it to 🇺🇦 . I remember when my friend gave me the link to the video from the gig in Helsinki (Finland), where Simon said: "I think we should dedicate this song to the people on the Ukraine..." I also cried... This album also has some good b-sides "Falling Angel" and "A Matter of Fact"😉 I also like "Breath after breath" where Warren shows his love to Latin music👍 Very 90s album!

[@glitterkitty]

That’s so beautiful… I love that. It’s a great example of another DD album that has aged well (my opinion).

Yet another fantastic deep dive video! . Having been such a huge DD fan myself since the very beginning, I can't tell how much it means to me to know they have such awesome fans such yourself, who appreciate their songwriting and musicianship for what is.. amazing! You have a very keen ear. I've thoroughly enjoyed every video you've put out so far. It's like listening to those albums I love so much, for the first time. I found myself becoming a little emotional during this video too. For me I think because this album marked DDs comeback. At a time when they'd been written off. The emotions of the band are embedded in the album I think. Anyway keep up the fantastic work I can't wait for the next one! And... Thank You

[@glitterkitty]

I really appreciate you watching all of my deep dive series and I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've thoroughly enjoyed making them and I look forward to making more.

Thank you for the lovely comment. 🙏🏻

The Wedding Album really brought back Duran Duran with 2 huge hits with "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone." The Album is in my top 5 favorites!

You mentioned Massive Attack's 'Safe From Harm', on 'Come Undone' track..I agree that you hear very similiar sound with Love Voodoo, as well..Massive Attack's 'Unfinished Sympathy' is one of my favorite songs from them..John Taylor also listed that song, as one of his favorites..

Love Voodoo is my favorite song from Duran Duran & I've been a fan since the 80's. I've seen them in concert a few times & they're great live.

Please do a reaction of their much acclaimed MTV Unplugged performance. Featuring great acoustic renditions of their hits, and some deep cuts. If memory serves, it was broadcasts after the release of their Pop Trash (or Meddazaland?) lp. It's here on YT. Cheers and more power to your channel 😉🥂

[@lfmsgameiro]

Greetings! There's a lot to say about this album. It was a great comeback, after three years without recording. It worth it! Every track in this album is a great one. I remember to listen Ordinary World on the radio, and recognize Simon's voice, which gave me a smile on my face. It meant DD news. After buying the album (the first i didn't in LP), i was real surprised with that. You have Milton Nascimento (the brazillian singer you didn't recognize, which is crucial around here), you have a cover of Velvet Underground, and sexy stuff around Love Voodoo and UMF (you got the meaning), and an energic punch in the start with Too Much Information. The album title goes back to 1981, which meant a start, yet a restart. The known title - The Wedding Album - was from the first promos playing in the british radios, and have to do with the cover design - photo's from the band's parents' marriages. I know that the one in the upper right corner is from John's parents' marriage, recognizable from his autobiography. Yeah, the guys came back from the obscurity!...

Just for fun.

Just as (in my opinion) "Every Breath you Take" is the greatest song of the 1980's, "Ordinary World" is the greatest song of the '90's. As close to perfect songs as any band can get

[@NeilFarrimond]

This album for me marks a turning point in DDs career. Ordinary World is a masterpiece track, I felt the same emotion. Such a wonderful lyric. The other standout that takes me back is Come Undone. This is also such a crafted and well-produced track. I remember seeing DD playing Ordinary World on Top of the Pops which was the popular music show in the UK, Simon sung it live and I got chills. It was the first time I had heard it, and was hooked. Great video BTW and love your reviews! Keep them coming!

I became a lyricist because of this album. I played it twice a day everyday for a year. Warren should be uttered in the same breath as other guitar gods. Sadly, the band, as Warren said, squandered the momentum.

[@nnunes_vc]

Sin of The City is out of the ordinary and I never thought I would like it so much because when I listen to it I noticed 2 references in this song despite the incredible guitar presence that Warren did on this album. The sound part reminded me of a sample from a demo from the Liberty album called Bootleneck, there is a part that is a reference to Simon singing and John's bass part reminded me of the track Undergoing Treatment from the Medazzaland album, I heard the presence bass at the beginning, but it's a little slower. John's backing vocals on Sin of the City I take my hat off to hearing him and Simon on the chorus.

This album was a real surprise to me having only grown up in the heyday (1980s) of the band. PS You would would so good in a wedding dress…

Actually Warren was the main driving force behind this album. Which is why the 90's saw the Warren effect on Duran Duran, which to me was more impactful than Andy Taylor (yes, I know Im going to be slammed by die hards, but Im a die hard too since 1981 😆), so this is an alternate view of the guitarist having an impact on Duran Duran in the 90's.

I agree. I think Warren's playing was extraordinary even John said Warren is a virtuoso!

Re. Sin of The City lyrics. I always thought that, perhaps, in relation to 89 died, Simon was referring to the 87 victims + 2 (González and ex-girlfriend Feliciano) who effectively are dead: one being in prison for the remainder of his life [until death] and the other having to live on with that tragedy which would make living normally impossible [a living death].
