So Happy To React To Duran Duran - The Wild Boys (Official Music Video) THE WOLF HUNTERZ REACTIONS

[@graceelizabeth3050]

When Simon LeBon sings, you know it’s him. And John Taylor and that bass....every time.

[@andyg4082]

In 1984 duran duran were the biggest band on planet earth. They were refered to as the Fab5 To date they have sold 100,000000 records and as of 2022 finally been inducted into the rock and roll Hall of fame Well done boys AT RT JT SLB NR 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Great post 👍

[@timchandler4688]

Fun fact. During shooting the windmill got stuck with him underwater. They had to give him a tube to breathe from while they fixed it.

[@MetalphysicalMel]

Simon had another close call in a boating accident as well.

[@cherylwiggins17]

I was coming here to say just that. I had to deal with my bestie having a breakdown when she heatd about that. Made Simon my favorite after that.

[@theredfrost]

He nearly drown when it got stuck

[@rebeccajohnson8769]

@@MetalphysicalMel His yacht capsized and he had to escape. People magazine did a big story on it at the time.

[@theadventuresofjimmycrapol8827]

actually, the windmill incident was overblown. He was never in any danger. in fact - it was set up so that only his hair and forehead were only ever under water, if you look closely you can see this in the video. His nose and mouth stayed above the water line at all times (most likely for insurance / safety reasons). The boating accident aboard his boat "Drum" was a very dangerous situation that has been "under stated".

[@erwinamesz7642]

One of the best songs of Duran Duran and just a great music video from an MTv era when they still played music….

[@t3rki179]

I was born 98' and I am so happy for my fathers fucking great taste in music. He and my mom lived in Berlin during the 80s and everything I listen to is approved by them. The first time I heard this song was in the car. Maybe 5 years old. I vibed so hard. I still remember it

[@Miss_Beehaven]

I love your reaction, as a teenage girl growing up in 80s I was in ♥with Duran Duran to such an extent you could not see my walls for posters 🤣

[@JC-yz1sf]

When this song came out, honestly all of us female fans probably thought wth is this?? It’s a great song and video, but crazy compared to their stuff before… Except.. you know how you love that bass? Yah! That very talented bass player was THE most gorgeous man to walk Planet Earth back then! They were all sexy and gorgeous.. but John Taylor was OTHERWORLDLY beautiful!! His beauty was unparalleled. And much to the thrill of all his female fans.. he was the one strapped to the car!!! 😁Mmmm😊❤

[@Bad80y1]

Amazing tune and just some info on that windmill prop. During filming the windmill actually stopped/broke down with Simon strapped to it and dangerously had him underwater when it jammed. They had to quickly get to his rescue so as not to drown. Simon also cheated death when his high performance Sailboat capsized and he was upside down in it struggling to get out and almost totally drowned. It was during one of those sailing competitions races. So twice, water almost claimed his life. I believe now he also is into flying those 3d Acrobatic Stunt Planes. Quite the thrill seeker. And yes Duran Duran were the innovator’s when it came to the music videos. Total artists. The true pioneers of video music tech.

[@alexioverdo5225]

9:30!lol!This moment Simon was really terryfied cause he hadn't been warned about this fake monster's 'biting attempt' right behind him.(Had seen a video at the time about the making of this expensive video production and how some shots were done.)So his terror was real and his reaction was natural and of course everyone laughed after this!

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Duran Duran always put out awesome videos. As soon as Simon started singing the words spilled right out of my mouth too. My favorite song and video of theirs was... Reflex.

[@andyg4082]

Great review 👏 In 1984 this video cost a mouthwatering £1000000 The most expensive video ever made at the time. For the greatest ever video.

[@I.am.Iain-81]

'A View To A Kill ' is another banger by Duran Duran. Written for the James Bond movie of the same name. Check it out 👍

[@kevdoe3360]

Great song,crap film!!!!

[@theadventuresofjimmycrapol8827]

their recent album had a great song called "Wing" that sounded very much like a bond theme... there's a fan-made video of it using clips from all the Bond opening title sequences. The thumbnail looks like an official Duran video. Check it out

[@lewisner]

I taped Simon in 1984 talking about making the Wild Boys video and hinting about the upcoming View To A Kill video. I also have a clip from 1985 where the DJ says View To A Kill is Number One for the second week running.

[@blurpledragon2779]

This is the only band I have seen live twice , I had my first crushes on musicians as a teenager on Nick Rhodes 1st , then Simon Le Bon and lastly John Taylor , so hot still !!!! Awesome guys , awesome band .

[@deanmaynard8256]

The video - by Russell Mulcahy - is like a cross between an Ausploitation film and an 80's sequel to Barbarella (which is were Duran Duran got their name from)

[@colingregory7464]

Russell Mulcahy did a real Who Is Who of 80's pop videos and a few mostly "B Movies" quite a few of which I really like (highlights for me are Highlander and Resident Evil : Extinction)

[@bigdickjoe9891]

They have 2022 tour dates left. I saw them in 84and 86!

[@dipsydoodle7988]

If you guys reacted to 2 DD videos every day, I would be happy to watch y’all for the next 15 years! 😅

[@morganause]

I grew up with Duran Duran. This was the top of their experimental videos. Of course nothing could be so perfect without the gorgeous voice of Simon Le Bon. What can be done after this?

[@oktober-vh6gl]

This video was supposed to be a movie. there was a book called the wild boys that Russell Mulcahy bought the rights for (Russell is the video director for many of DD's videos and was a pioneer of music vids in the 80's). Outside of music videos, he's also pretty well known for directing the cult classic, Highlander. DD knew about this wild boys purchase through their relationship with Russell and wanted to do the soundtrack for the movie. The song was written for that purpose, but the movie deal fell through... so they created this video as a mini version of what the movie would have been like.

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Im Met mexican fan since 1986...!! I love the Mets, and I love Duran Duran! hugs from Monterrey, México!

[@rufscooby1]

there is a few documenteries , with members of duran , putting on the original master tapes and breaking down the channels to hear the details

[@niccinicnic9335]

This was one if my fav songs in the 80ies. Fantastic video - thaaanks. Still love it 😍 Can you believe that this song is nesrly 40 years old?

[@Ontir]

William S Burroughs wrote the book of the same name. Russell Mulcahy got the film rights. Simon read the book and asked Russell about doing a song, inspired by it. Russell agreed with the proviso that he do the video as a "proof of concept" for the film he intended to make but, thus far, has not.

[@michaelhubbard5246]

I heard this on the radio the day before it was released. They'd been absent for a few, and I was THRILLED to hear a new Duran song.

[@sdboutet]

This song is AWESOME live! Was one of the highlights of their concert. Soooooo much heavier and pounding!

[@mariflame1821]

There is a longer version of the video with a monster with a long tongue that used to scare me...😅 If I remember you can see the long video on Duran Duran's crazy concert movie called 'Arena' that's based on this video. I was never a huge fan of the song but the video is super cool. Simon Le Bon, DD's singer, used to be a drama student so he was good at acting on their videos. I was a huge Simon fan when I was a teenager and still love DD's music.

[@susangriego842]

Love the long version too

[@mamakat3150]

THE masters of videos!!! 🤘

[@wmlau69]

The director originally wanted to make a “Lord of the Flies” movie so spent a year working on production notes. When he couldn’t get the rights to the movie, he worked with the band to make this long form video.

[@JC-yz1sf]

The Movie he was trying to make wasn’t Lord of the Flies. It was The Wild Boys based on a book by William Burroughs. The movie fell through so they got to still use the sets and costumes for the video.

[@darronmasangkay6356]

At last! Wild Boys.

[@stevecdavies]

Union of the Snake would be a vid you love too!

[@JanuzTrance68]

You cannot imagine how big a band Duran Duran was over the years at that time. Really really huge.

[@roxette2]

Andy Taylor (guitarist) has said in an interview of which i have among 15 dvd's that the video cost over £1million which in those days was off the chart expensive but oh so worth it.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

This video used to freak me out when I was younger - and Simon was lucky to make it out of this alive. Great song though. This, the Reflex, and a View to a Kill are my favourites. The video is super cool - with a real James Bond addition.

[@timchandler4688]

At the time was most expensive video made.

[@EyesOfGehenna]

This also part of a larger video called Arena, where Doctor Duran Duran (a character from the movie Barbarella) comes back from exile and sees this band carrying his name and wants to take them out. So Arena is part concert and part story. The wild boys sequence is actually longer and was shot to the extended remix.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

I especially love the dancing...

[@debbieburris9453]

At 7:13 you say how AWESOME this video is! I'm thinking, you haven't seen ANYTHING yet 😂 I adore you 2 ❤️❤️Your reactions are so honest, energetic 🔥 ❤️

Little Richard was a huge influence for many musicians and singers right up to his passing. A incredible entertainer, and quite flamboyant. He became a Reverend. Amazing. ✌️❤️

[@troyschramm714]

As per comment bellow, Simon Le Bon also got stuck under his Yacht Drum (i think around about 86/87) and also nearly died then as well.

[@johnnyenglish5976]

Story goes that the windmill stopped working while le- bon was underwater and he had a lucky escape.

Duran Duran who were, incidentally named after the arch nemesis of Barbarella in the comics and film of the same name. Warboys (Wildboys) has that Mad Max feel to it, so much so that they were brought to life in Mad Max - Fury Road as only the Aussies can do. The robotic head was truly innovative for 1984 and impressed a lot of people at the time. A classic of it's time.........WARBOYZ!!!!!

[@sargnagel3060]

And after this…boys are back in town😉

[@johne.christensen7147]

Camerawork ---- AMAZING!

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Simon has said that he sang this song in too high a key for himself but he sang it that way because he wanted to sound like his voice was bleeding!

[@ronfarney6477]

I enjoy watching you with your reviews brilliant awesome amazing watch Union of the snake 👍🐍 a simplier video to wild boys!!!! Awesome amazing track 😂☺️

[@_alifeallmine_]

The look of the video was heavily influenced by the movie ‘Mad Max 2’ (or ‘Road Warrior’ in the US) which came out a few years earlier, also being directed by an Aussie, Russell Mulcahy, who did the cult classic ‘Razorback’ (seek it out and watch it, a horror film about a giant Boar, good popcorn fun!), and the big hit ‘Highlander’. So it was very much of the moment and uber-cool. It’s actually the only studio song on their excellent live album ‘Arena’.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

This song was for a movie based on the book The Wild Boys but it wound up not being made so the director decided to use his money to make the video for this song instead.

[@eamonconnelly8029]

It wasn't Russell Mulchay's money. It was Duran Duran's record label who paid for the video in which Duran Duran had to pay back. John Taylor talks about the video and cost concerns in a Billboard Magazine interview: "The video’s cost “caused a lot of concern, let’s put it mildly. However, at that point in the band’s career, it’s hard to - sometimes it’s hard to understand, even oneself, how … that kind of money could be spent on something as ephemeral as a music video. … It’s very difficult to put an immediate sort of value on [it]. At that point in our careers, we needed something lavish. We needed something experimental. We needed something extraordinary. And we got it.” It was a concern because it was the most expensive video made at the time and most especially a concern because it was EMI Records who fronted the cost that Duran Duran had to pay back from their record sales.

Fun Fact: this song and video was inspired by the film DUNE

[@eamonconnelly8029]

Incorrect fact mate. 🙂Duran Duran's The Wild Boys single and video was released in October 1984. Dune, the film, was released two months later in December 1984. The Video was inspired by William S. Burroughs' book The Wild Boys, which the director of the video, Russell Mulcahy, was going to make a film adaptation. It never happened. Mulcahy made Highlander instead released in 1986.
