[@rob4b]

I can't knock it when you see lighting in a bottle you just have to sit back and enjoy it. This will be played for many years to come and be one of their songs in their line up. I think in the writing of this song it took just two days and the combo of Andy Taylor , Nile Rogers on this track took it to another level it almost brought the magic back. Big up Dom Brown for playing so well on this track live never been keen on his playing but he has been there for many years and has been respectful to all guitarist coming in and out over his tenure I give him a big thumbs up.

[@nnunes_vc]

Wise words and beautifully spoken 😊. Dom really enjoys playing with DD, these years on the road with them are going very well. Despite being very dedicated, he is respectful towards the guitarists (Andy, Warren and Nile). Dom Brown is sensational and played very well, honoring their work, which was also part of Danse Macabre.

[@JaneEvil]

One of THE biggest and most talented bands , musicians on the planet for decades! They have successfully stayed on top of the charts, on top of the music industry game where many other bands of the same genre, & different genres that started out in the 80’s have failed to do . They topped out in the 80’s then found it hard to stay relevant, change up their music enough to keep current , sound fresh but still like themselves to stay current with the changing music scene … Duran Duran are masters of reinventing their sound , themselves to consistently stay on top in the music world! 40 years of absolutely incredible music album after album- along with always pushing themselves to be better and better… while even creating new genres of music like they have with “ Danse Macabre”!
