DUDE DUDE DUDE. This is the song that started my first obsession in life. Everyone has that one song/video that opens their eyes to the wonder of music, and for me at ten years old, this was IT. I was going to grow up and marry John Taylor haha. This song really is catchy and energetic, so much fun to dance to. I think the video was an actual shoot but they wore the same outfits on that tour and the video is a good representation of their live show in 1984. I remember crying when my parents wouldn’t take me. This entire tour was a huge production and the show was fantastic. You can watch that whole concert in the special called As the Lights Go Down. Their music took a different direction after this album and they lost two members, but they’re still going strong! I consider this their best era but I think it’s because this was when I first discovered them. Thank you for reacting to this one, I was dancing right along with you at the end!

"The Reflex" is primarily a concert video, accurately portraying Duran Duran's Sing Blue Silver tour performance style. In keeping with the band's insistence that their videos "never be ordinary", the video screen above the stage displayed bits of naked models wearing collars and chains illuminated with black light, occasionally interrupted by computerized video white noise. At one point, a computer graphics generated waterfall appears to pour out of the video screen above the stage to soak the audience

[@antoinettelopes]

This was from their concert video "As The Lights Go Down" from their 1984 tour. It had a behind the scenes documentary with it called "Sing Blue Silver". When the apocalypse hits, I'm grabbing those dvds and LOTR:FOTR:EE and making a break for it. 😁 Mtv used to have a show called "Friday Night Video Fights". Every Friday night they would have two videos go head to head. Viewers would call an 800 number to vote on which video they wanted to win. When the show was finally going off the air, they had a final showdown between the two videos that had the most wins. "The Reflex" and Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" had both won something like 11 times. So they were the final battle. I'll let you guess which video won.

[@eamonconnelly8029]

Duran Duran filmed the video for The Reflex on March 5, 1984 at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada. Some close-ups and staged shots were filmed that afternoon and the live footage was filmed for the video the same evening during their live show.

I so appreciate your appreciation of this incredibly talented group of musicians. 40 years later they are still going strong, but you may not see the acrobatics these days. I mean they are mostly all in their 60s. They haven't lost their edge or flair otherwise. This is the official video so the album version is dubbed over live footage. They have a live concert film from their heyday called as The Lights Go Down and if you liked this, you REALLY need to experience the actual concert footage. My favorites from As The Lights go Down are New Religion, The Chauffeur, and Girls on Film. Be forewarned, with DD, the only things you can count on is that you are either going to hear the most catchy, fun and danceable rock you've ever heard, or it will be beautiful or dark and ethereal. Also, these guys are known for basically incorporating multimedia into their live shows before that term even existed, so you will see a lot...it's a bit of sensory overload in the absolute best way!

This version of the song was remixed by Nile Rodgers (the album version sounds a bit different from this). Crazy thing is, the record company originally didn't want to release this as a single because they thought it sounded "too black". But the band stood their ground fighting for it and it ended up being their biggest single at the time (1984). The video was shot at one of their concerts in Toronto during their North American tour in early 1984 (which is chronicled in the documentary Sing Blue Silver, which I highly recommend checking out).

I really adore how hard Nick Rhodes hung on to the New Romantic vibe. Everyone else has gone 80s shoulder pad crop jackets and Nick is rocking a hybrid David Bowie and Gary Newman look 😍

Duran Duran were brilliant, New Romantic when they first came out but these where the pin up boys. Girls on Film, The Wild Boys Rio Hungry like a WOLF and they also did a JAMES BOND song as well VIEW TO A KILL Duran Duran has sold over 100 million records, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. They achieved 30 top 40 singles in the U.K. 14 singles in the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart and 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100. FUN FACT >>> 3 members of the band all had the same last name but not one of them was related John Taylor Andy Taylor Roger Taylor Another fun fact for you A super group called POWER STATION was formed made up of singer Robert Palmer, ( addicted to love ) John Taylor (Duran Duran) guitarist Andy Taylor of Duran Duran and former Chic drummer Tony Thompson; Bernard Edwards, also of Chic were also involved on the studio side as recording producer. All are worth checking out

Duran Duran was the resident band in the Rum Runner nightclub in Birmingham, UK. So everytime, when visiting the club on a Friday or Saturday night their singing would fill the dancefloor, they were fab live.
