FIRST TIME HEARING! Duran Duran - Notorious | REACTION

[@TimothySmiths]

As others stated wished you had done the Arena live album with the new song Wild Boys on it and the A View to a Kill single,and besides those really wished you had done Arcadia side project with Simon,Nick and Roger on it ,it transitions the sound of the band from the previous albums to this one sound wise.,

[@balovett]

John's bass and Nile's guitar in the verses is so funky. Those parts really breathe. So judicious in their playing. Simon's vocal is so fresh. He was in peak form here. During the recording of the album, Nick was obsessed with the Sly and the Family Stone album FRESH. He kept asking Nile, "What would Sly do?" I think Sly's influence is especially felt on this track and it's sibling "Skin Trade," my favorite on the album. There's a simple 3 chord electric piano sequence that Nick plays at the very end that I've always loved. (4:59) And the beard. Super scruffy here. Super awesome!

I love that you're doing these by chronological album, but I also highly recommend two big songs they did that aren't exactly part of normal albums. "Wild Boys" (which was the only studio song put on their live album 'Arena' from 1984) and "A View to a Kill" from the soundtrack of the Bond movie of the same name from 1985. Both have official videos and I have a feeling you'll like both of them!

Love it my oldest sisters listend to Duran Duran nonstop and my mom did not aporeciate them... this was part of my childhood, we went to the Duran Duran concert in Phoenix last September and it was amazing! They sound great live and put on a killer show even though they are 30 plus years older!

[@SheenaRea]

Love it!! They are so frickin' gooooooood!!! Seph when you get to "Ordinary World" ... be prepared! 💥💥💥

BIG HIT BACK IN 80'S. AMAZING SONG

[@SephPlays]

What a way to kick off an album in my opinion :D

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

This is the funky Duran Duran style. The music is so cool. It's so different from any album up until that point!

[@Hal-x7l]

Just saw them in concert... they still do this as part of the regular setlist

[@Hal-x7l]

You are adorable

[@SephPlays]

Thank you Hal haha and OMG YOU JUST SAW THEM!?

[@lebby4ever]

Notorious is a GREAT song, that's why it got so much success. ❤

[@fabricebeudon7617]

Great LP « Notorious » produced by Nile Rodgers too who made they sound funky all tracks from « Notorious » are great

[@BigALquitti]

Another forgotten song from the 80ies. I like it too. I know many of this. Yes I`m a 80ies boy. Born 1974. So many to discover... Now it´s 2023 and I´m still standing... Short... I love your chanel. ✌

[@kerrylake4751]

Probably my favorite DD album and this is up there for my favorite song! Saw them in Detroit in Sept and I was SO happy they played this! ❤❤

[@lobotomy007]

Before reacting to notorious you missed the seventh stranger (from seven and the ragger tiger), the wild boys (huge hit) and a view to a kill (james bond theme)

[@SephPlays]

My seventh stranger video got copyright blocked amd removed by the copyright company unfortunately :( But them over 2 i definitely haven't heard so ill do them at some point whilst i make my way through this album 😊

[@melglen1049]

@@SephPlays What did you think of it? one of the best songs on Seven in my opinion. shame it was blocked as i wanted to see your reaction 😀

[@lobotomy007]

@@SephPlays by the way, i suggest you to listen to arcadia "so red the rose", a side project LP recorded by simon le bon and nick rhodes before the notorious LP. It features also herbie hancock, david gilmour, grace jones, mark egan, steve jordan, sting.... darker and more elegant sounding than duran but still with incredible songs and hooks. I love it and i consider it a proper duran album, and one of their best.

[@SephPlays]

@mel glen It was among the best off the album in my opinion!

[@suzannecorona6098]

​@Seph Plays 😢😢 Seventh Stranger is my favorite song on the album. I hope you enjoyed it ❤

[@dipsydoodle7988]

This song was sampled by Biggie Smalls. Lots of folks out there who know this song and dont even know why. Have no idea what it means.😂

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

This song is about the music business.

[@Uni955]

Great

[@elizabetapastulovic1270]

Oh I love Notorious album,song Winter Marches On,To the Demolition,I don't want't your love and other songs!💘

[@shawnk7832]

[@ronfarney6477]

This Duran Duran album is epic awesome amazing it's only now 3 members Simon lebon nick Rhodes and John Taylor in this video is Nile Rodgers awesome amazing guy he's produced this awesome album wait till you hear skin trade it's about girls selling there bodies ok enjoy 😜😜😜

[@-insertcoinstocontinue-7325]

Great album: American Science, Vertigo, A matter of feeling, Meet el Presidente, Skin Trade, and Hold me.....tween the others

[@invisible2621]

One of my fave DD Album of all time

[@brianmidthun2914]

In my opinion, the album Notorious is so much better than Seven and the Ragged Tiger. I'm glad you've made it to this album! One thing you need to do is listen to Wild Boys a single that came out between Seven, and Notorious on the album Arena. Also, View to a Kill from a James Bond soundtrack.

[@lightlantern]

I Adore Duran Duran’s Musicianship But This Is All Nile Rodgers!!

[@BlinkFM]

How about 1993's comeback song Ordinary World ?

[@DavidSimmons-br6hf]

I enjoy your reactions but think you miss too much of the music as you're reacting to Simon singing. I'd be interested to hear what you think of stand alone 1984 single 'The Wild Boys' & your continuation through the Notorious album - very different from their first 3 albums.

[@eloymartinezrebollo4704]

Simon Lebon le faltaba el respeto a Depeche Mode.

[@DavidSimmons-br6hf]

...by briefly forgetting Dave Gahan's name? Depeche Mode are a lot of Duran Duran fans next favourite music artists & l don't believe that Simon (or any other band members) would disrespect them deliberately.

[@eloymartinezrebollo4704]

@@DavidSimmons-br6hf Depeche y Duran Duran se parecen menos de lo que crees.
