Duran Duran - What's In My Bag?

[@tonybp]

I'm a metal guy and bass player... people don't believe me when I say I love Duran Duran and admire John Taylor's bass skills. That's some good music right there. A View to a Kill, best Bond song IMHO.

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

First two Duran Duran albums are incredible, especially if you are into bass playing.

[@rrf85]

[@jerryh6284]

Tony BP Same here. Love my Metal but Duran Duran are my over all fav band!

[@Mattowarrior777]

i watched the "Classic Rock" Documentary on Rio, and even though I hated the band due to sibling rivalry as a kid, I was like, holy fuck, the guy would be worshipped like Steve Harris if he played metal (John Taylor)

[@Mattowarrior777]

agreed, upon reviewing their first few albums in the past year or two, the first two definitely stand up the most

Simon has enough charisma to account for the entire UK

[@interneteditor5258]

Hardly underrated, well known as the best bassist of his time.

[@zsantschi]

Some friends of mine got to open for Duran Duran in Austin... They were starstruck... but, what really blew their minds was that Simon took the time to listen to their music before the show. Love when superstar bands are cool like that.

[@BlondeReaganite]

After I read your comment I thought.. Did they open for them in Austin in November 2014? I can't remember who they were or what they played.. The only thing I remember is I have never seen a band get booed so hard in my life.. They said do you want to hear another and everyone screamed NO and most people just walked out and waited for Duran Duran to start.. Never seen anything like it before in my life and felt so bad for a band

[@darkphoenix6763]

I dont think any one of them has aged well especially nick, no offense just stating the obvious here. he looks a lot older than his age even looks older than my 75 y.o mom. perhaps it's the side effect of tons of make up that nick has been wearing since he was a teen.

[@dkblack3461]

Lol Dark Phoenix, no offense taken! :)

[@rainysunday2386]

Roger AND John

[@lisaknell1809]

I think they are still handsome and talented. Handsome is often as handsome does. They seem to be kind, polite and funny. Which I love 😊

[@yas.s.]

One of the things that I love most about them is the fact that they reached their 50s, they are kinda ""old"" but they didnt surrender to the social pressure of dressing "like you're supposed to", or "act your age". I can see/feel that they are confortable and being themselves without giving a shit. I've never seen it, but I'm sure there are people who think "they are not young anymore to act like this", like I saw people talking about Madonna, for example, and that's sad. If you do this, stop repressing people's essence, dude. And if you care about this fuckers, forget it and try to just be you. Look how fucking cool and badass this band is. Be inspired by them.

Duran Duran has been for over 30 years one of my favorite bands. Their music is magnificent and timeless. A World class band.

[@TheSickNeeds]

Why do I feel like Simon would be cooler to hang out with today then back in the 80s? What a goof! Amazing!

[@AwesomeGee]

I can’t get enough of Nick’s voice!

[@MrAvEnGeR1303]

I love how they're so open about their tastes. Most people would play it safe and pick the classics to seem 'cool'. Respect to them.

[@crapple009]

Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney and David Bowie aren't considered classics?

[@itsyeaboi5333]

main reason imo is people taking one line transcripts and using it against you in court for plagiarism for songs that have only remotely similar parts. these guys are ogs and i doubt people are gonna touch not just because of the status factor but because they already laid down an extensive backcatalog. the trend of abusing copyright for remotely similar songs have skyrocketed in this generation with pop punk bands going as far as suing trap artists for having even a tinge of a similar melody or feel. they use a transcript of an interview early into the career of the artist as evidence. the problem is in the courts and well as other artists i guess straight out abusing sampling, both are linked to a work being transformative which doesnt seem to resonate with anybody when it comes to music. a straight a to b comparison i feel is a pitfall whereas music like literature relies on furthering the tradition and there never being real originality just transformation so you have to take in context genres then subgenres and etc original repurposing which i feel becomes ignored once in court.

[@SydneyDrums]

Imagine being a guy from Australia who makes music and then Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran is holding up your album saying that he loves it

[@jaramillolugo5921]

[@darkphoenix6763]

all of them are aging pretty rough to be fair. simon's face is so bloated, droopy and haggard and he gets fatter than ever. he looks more and more like kevin spacey and rick gervais. nick is losing his hair, and got deep frown and wrinkles all over his face, and jowly! he caulking his face with thick make up to hide all those wrinkles on his face . Roger, well..some say he has aged better than the rest but tbh roger's face is also wrinkly like the others so I dont think he age better.

Sometime in the early 90's I heard a radio show interview with Duran Duran. I was always a fan of their music but not so die hard that I knew all about band. They talked a lot about their influences and I was just amazed at the scope of what they liked. So much of it I did not expect. Years later, no different, love their diverse taste in movies and music. So cool that Simon enjoyed Chappie and gets in to Die Antwoord.

My tastes tend to be really all over the place now, from older country, to 80s new wave, to metal, and everything in between and all around. Gotta say I miss the 80's, because we had a lot more to choose from as far as popular music went. Not to mention, the guys all aged amazingly well.

[@Lamia7609]

What makes them such great artists is they truly LOVE music and that translates into the amazing work they do. One of the Most UNDERRATED BANDS EVER. Before you start to object...Go listen to"My Antarctica" "Lonely in Your Nightmare" "Cry Baby Cry", Leave a Light On" "Late Bar" Mediterranean" "Palomino", Micheal You've Got A Lot To Answer For", " Universe Alone" , "Chains", These songs cross a lot of decades and are some of my favorite songs of all time.

I have introduced my children to Duran Duran's music videos in the last year. They love them! We especially enjoy Don't Save A Prayer, Rio, Planet Earth, and quite a few more memorable hits from this very British eighties band who did well in America. Their music can easily be played in any trendy bar today.. though sadly your average kid wouldn't have a clue who this band is, or were. Most music today is manufactured like plastic and churned out from Simon Cowell's factory full of wanabees. These guys are proper musicians, with their own sound, style and great music that is timeless. They have written unique songs, most of the band can play an instrument, and they can all perform and look fabulous to their audience. Duran Duran should have been given far more credit for their music.
