@@alexioverdo5225 Duran Duran have received tons of respect towards the 2nd half of their career but in the early days, they were written off as good looking guys who can't play and for having more style than substance. However, as we all know, Duran Duran are great musicians who can play and write their own songs- great songs -and they have style, too - nothing wrong with that- to go along with their amazing and sustained career after 40 plus years.

I cannot put into words how good they were live in concert.1984 Jacksonville, FL with Men at Work as the warm up band. Our group of friends that went were the same ages as the band members then, so we were not the Crazy teen aged girls that were the majority of the fans there. It was like seeing the Beatles or something the way those girls were going absolutely insane. We enjoyed it immensely, both bands!

What I always found unique about Duran fans, most of us considered Andy Hamilton, sax player, along with BJ and Charmaine, backing vocals, to be part of the Duran package. Or maybe it was just my group of friends. But we were every bit a fan of theirs and would want an autograph given the opportunity. Is it’s just me? Are there others that felt this way?
