Ty Reacts To DURAN DURAN "A View To A Kill"

[@gojira54]

Only James Bond theme ever made it to number 1.

[@reactionextraction]

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@bukitkatilmp]

Yes its the only one to hit number 1 in the US charts till today.

[@thecentralscrutinizer5730]

Grace Jones comes to mind everytime I hear this song! Saw the movie when it came out in theaters

[@reactionextraction]

Good point, she was Fab in the film & a Fab 80’s icon !

[@EvaSlayAllDay334]

“Get Zorin for meeeeee!!!”

[@YouKnowWhereYouWentWrong]

The drum and bass sound SO good on this track. The song is fantastic already, but the production, engineering and mixing take it another level. Classic Duran.

[@reactionextraction]

Classic Duran, great song 🇬🇧🤘🏻

[@anthonyancona2643]

Duran Duran, as a band, writes all of their songs. They will work together in the studio and also each by themselves when they need a creative breakthrough, then they come together again as a team! I have been a lifelong Duranie, too. I saw them 17 times in concert and was in The Reflex video back in 1984.

[@ronfarney6477]

They wrote this record in 2-3 days the pressure was on!!!! They did it!!!! Bloody awesome

[@reactionextraction]

One of my Favs - Duran at their early best !

[@stellatricella7742]

After, I don't know, thirty years? this amazing song still sounds modern. I love drums and Simon le Bon voice. They are really unique! Please more!

[@italoblu]

Almost 40. 1985.

[@reactionextraction]

Who knew Duran Duran would become Legends & survive the 80’s MTV generation & thrive for 40 freakin’ years 🇬🇧🤟🏼

[@alexioverdo5225]

Since you've mentioned his voice Stella...there was something exceptional in Simon's performing style and potentials.He could strike all high notes without using falseto technics and not sounding ridiculous but punchy and charming instead!

[@NoCanDu]

Duranie since 82!

[@reactionextraction]

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@mariflame1821]

Been a fan since my first 84 concert and still my favorite band. They've done so many different styles of music but never loosing their own unique Duran Duran sound.

[@reactionextraction]

Duran Duran … there is no substitute 😎😎😎

[@BarrySlisk]

Perfection !

[@dopiaza2006]

Saw them a few days ago in Halifax, UK. Superb gig, can't believe I've never seen them before in my 50 years!

[@reactionextraction]

Always awesome to see an iconic band 😎 even if it takes 50 years ha ya know. I had same experience with Tears For Fears few months ago ✌🏼

[@sandrahutto]

Love Dad rockin out!

[@thaitim007]

The bass guitar sets this up so well. 1985 and the cold war. I remember it well.

[@zziicckk01]

As far as James Bond themes go, this is top 3. Great song!!! The musicality, the brass specifically, is amazing.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

You need to watch them sing this song live in concert. It's amazing.

[@tomservo4president61]

The bass in this song is phenomenal, underated musicians.😊

[@alexioverdo5225]

Simon Le Bon(DD) and Morten Harket(A-ha) are for me the 2 strongest and most impactful,iconic frontmen of the '80s and possibly of all decades in mainstream pop-music industry.Simon is an explosive live performer on stage.Impulsive and in full motion all the time.He's the Mick Jagger of pop.Who would't like to have these 2 men in their band?!Great track,great teenage memories.DD were self taught musicians and songwritters as well.They were not" puppets" to any other songwritting team and that's a privilidge that gave them artistic freedom.Try the exotic "SAVE A PRAYER" or the "luxurious" n adventurous "RIO" next ones or even the groovy " Notorious" and "I don;t want your love" since you mentioned this.That last one's a real "kicker."

[@alexioverdo5225]

Roger Taylor-their drummer- is one of the best and most inventive ones in the business and a very nice person along with Blondie's drummer Clem Burke imo.Same praising goes for the very interesting and colorful keyboardist Nick Rhodes.Thank you for your mentioning him.He was/is the most artistic guy that gave a special breath to the bands' "photofilmodiscographic" legacy.

[@reactionextraction]

Well Said Yeah! You go Duran Fans out there. I love the passion 👍🏼 🤩 “I don’t want your love” & “notorious” we will do ! They are classics!

[@cupidhart-james4277]

Totally agree!

[@jenarcadia]

Great review! Duran Duran has a unique style that nobody can replicate. The horns and strings you are hearing is from Nicks synths. The song was written by the group and John Barry. You should see them play live. You will be blown away!

[@reactionextraction]

Cool, thanks! 😎😎

[@brombergj2]

How is it possible that Ty grew up with a dad that loved all this music, and he's just hearing much of it for the very first time? My friend's girls grew up listening to all this stuff and were fans of Duran, DM, Erasure, etc, etc, by the time they were 7 or 8 years old. Haha.

[@brombergj2]

Speaking of which, I was their house last night, and we all watched several of your vids for DM, The Weekend, Erasure, etc, with their girls. They all thought the reactions were great. :)

[@leslapins7617]

This song is so unique, you can reconize it in every corner of this planet. I love them and specislly how they creative they are. I forever will love this song video as it was a life changing for me: first time I watched I started dreaming about Paris and it was when I became a francophilie. Thanks to that I decided to learn French, which was key to have opprtunity to leave my country of origin and let extreme poverty behind me. Great review guys, thanks for revisiting these iconic songs and also intriducing new generation songs!

[@reactionextraction]

Wow what a story! Music / Art is Power !! 🇫🇷🎵🤟🏼

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

I think you forgot bass. John Taylor is the bomb!!!

[@christianhelwig]

Duran Duran IS Duran Duran

[@reactionextraction]

Well Said 😎😎

[@dipsydoodle7988]

A view to a Kill is one of the best songs out there. There's a reason it's the only Bond theme that hit number 1. Great choice for some 80s DD. Maybe for the next one, start off with new romantic Duran Duran and do Planet Earth or Careless memories. I can't believe neither of you mentioned the bass line in this song tho!

[@reactionextraction]

“New Romantic” 🇬🇧 has always been my Fav sub genre of 80’s music! So many cool 😎 bands with great vibes! My personal Favs are Curiously Killed the Cat, Hipsway, Scritti Politti, Wet Wet Wet, Soandau Ballet, Ultravox, kajagoogoo ….. & on & on !!

[@rifk1741]

Exactly, how did they miss the AMAZING JOHN TAYLOR BASSLINES?! I mean, his bass carries most of their early hits... even to this day.

[@alexioverdo5225]

Speaking of Nick Rhodes the rest of the guys used to call him the "controller". Well he was the co-founder of the band along with John Taylor And it's the only Bond theme to hit #1.

[@reactionextraction]

Very Cool 😎😎

[@danielsegen]

Violence of summer is a great 90s Duran Duran…. It shows how different they can sound….

[@reactionextraction]

Funny ‘cause that tune is off an album “Liberty” that might have killed their career 😬 Ha before “the wedding album” came along!

[@dipsydoodle7988]

I love that song! So different.

VOSummer!Wow!Thoughi'm not that keen on the Liberty album,I do love this one n the vid too.Songs rythym is funky n kinda dare i say..."kinky" .lol!.Such Fun!Loved John's style on that clip.

[@BlondeReaganite]

To this day it's still the most popular Bond Song.. Was written in one week and it's a masterpiece. Sooo Duran Duran and sooo Bond in perfect combination 👍 you should do Rio.. You have to do the ultimate Duran Duran 80s song.. And being the expert on Duran Duran i will tell you Simon writes the songs for the band and Nick is a huge influence on the sound as they call him the "controller" of the band but Simon writes all the lyrics.. If you want Simons ultimate masterpiece is Ordinary World.. They to this day get more mail about that song than any other and they never do a show without preforming that song.. You should definitely have your son hear that one 👍

[@reactionextraction]

Great Idea, good choice for the next one ! 😎😎

[@billw715]

I believe The Power Station may have been done or were still recording their album when Duran Duran recorded their single, A View To A Kill back in the Spring of 1985. And then, Arcadia started recording their album. I say this because this is Duran Duran's last recording together- before Andy and Roger left the band- as a five-piece until 2001. Which leads me to suggest Some Like It Hot as a reaction by The Power Station - which has great guitar work and a solo by Andy (and of course The Power Station was formed by John Taylor and Andy Taylor and included Roger Taylor), and I'd suggest Election Day by Arcadia (which was formed by Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon, also including Roger Taylor).

[@reactionextraction]

I sorta liked the Power Station album, but I really loved the Arcadia LP, “Election Day” & “goodbye is forever” are classic Duran - esque songs 🇬🇧❗️

[@alexioverdo5225]

Apart from their big ones i do luv some "buried" deep cuts.Such as "Of crime and passion"/"Take the dice"/Last chance on the staiway"/"Secret Oktober"/"She's too much"( a song about his love on one of his new-born daughters) from the RCM album/"Box full of honey"/"Before the rain" even the "Austonaut" lp's out takes "Beautiful Colors"(Gosh what a song!)/"Salt on the rainbow" to mention but a few.

[@reactionextraction]

Wow , You are a big time Duran fan! Love it 😎 the Deep Cuts & B sides are fantastic! Kind of a lost art, finding the rarities / imports of your Fav bands ya know 👍🏼

[@christianoazzuro6711]

I had bought the single to this in mid '85.B' side was a marvelous instrumental version of the same song but this time skillfuly turned into a slow relaxing tune giving it a 'movie soundtrack feel'.Title was 'That Fatal Kiss".

[@LeNaInLoVe]

One of the BEST BOND themes, another in the same genre is Living Daylights from A-HA Those 2 are my favorite Bond theme's from the 80'es and 90'ies.

[@charojabo265]

Amo a Duran Duran...i l0ve you

[@billw715]

A View To A Kill was Duran Duran's second #1 single in the U.S.- their first U.S. #1 was The Reflex. However, A View To A Kill could have been Duran Duran's third consecutive #1 if it wasn't for two artists. The first is Daryl Hall & John Oates, who had their single, Out Of Touch at #1 when Duran Duran's single, The Wild Boys (released in between The Reflex and A View To A Kill) entered its first week at #2 and up from #4. After that first week at #2, the second artist, Madonna, leapfrogged The Wild Boys into the #1 position from #3 with Like A Virgin- keeping Duran Duran in the #2 position. The Wild Boys remained there for 3 more weeks until The Wild Boys, after four consecutive weeks at #2, dropped to #3. Interestingly, The Wild Boys and Like A Virgin were both produced by Nile Rodgers. Not bad for Rodgers who had two top hits in late 1984 and in early 1985 by two separatist artist.. They don't call Rodgers, "The Hitmaker" for nothing!

[@reactionextraction]

Really good info, I love hearing about chart history 😎 It was a big deal back in the day checking out how your Fav Artist were doing in the top 40 & on MTV’s top 20 video countdown 🤟🏼!

[@leykimayri]

Like a Virgin was the biggest hit of 1984, no way the Wild Boys could top that

[@billw715]

Great reaction! Duran Duran all write their songs together. In interviews, they state that they create and write their songs while they all jam together. Duran Duran has some more prominent guitar-laden songs like, Careless Memories, Hungry Like The Wolf, Hold back The Rain, Friends Of Mine, Girls On Film, and Late Bar to name a few.

[@carlaweems72]

the Bond movies always have good music from current artists.. very cool..

[@rifk1741]

You're absolutely right abt Simon's amazing voice - nobody sounds like him! Bernard Edwards of Chic produced it. Songwriting is always the 5 guys. Lyrics until albums late in 90s were written by Simon. And how could you not mention the amazing bassline? Go watch John Taylors video of the construction of this song from the pov of thr rhythm section.

[@reactionextraction]

Great insight, sorry John, ha 😎 This Duran tune is one of my favs, really pops with 80’s charm !

[@robwebnoid5763]

I had the sheet music for this back in the mid 1980's & played it on the piano back then. The trumpet stabs are iconic for it for two things... 1. they are the trumpets for generic Bond/spy movies ... 2. the music sampling thing was just starting out back then with many bands starting to use them if they had sampling synths.

[@reactionextraction]

😎 Good Point

[@melissahoule9801]

I happened across your video, and it was awesome. I literally just watched their concert tour bio called Sing Blue Silver last night! If you’re interested in their “retro” stuff it’s a great movie for their live stuff as well as a bunch of interviews and behind the scenes. Very nostalgic lol Even though we couldn’t actually see the video, I’ve seen it so many times I didn’t need to. The video is 007 camp at its finest. Bon… Simon LeBon

Late to the reaction, (been a busy week), loved/love Duran Duran. Was fun being the only guy into them in 1984/85, while dozens of 8th/9th-grade girl classmates were into them as well. Okay, so trying not to retread observations and reactions listed below, ... "Nobody Does It Better" and "Live And Let Die" SHOULD have gone to number 1, but didn't and it's a testament to how good this song is,... that of the couple dozen James Bond movie theme songs, this was the one that topped the charts. Yes, 40 years of Duran Duran, where to go from here? Great suggestions by the commenters on here, eventually get around to "Is There Something I Should Know?" among the dozens of other unforgettable tracks.

[@briancampos6496]

So forgive me, but feel like your channel has found it’s secret sauce here, if you want. Obviously the hook is different eras between dad and son but if you’re not going to show videos, which is so much a part of the art of todays artists (BTS reactions specifically, which I like), then finding b-sides of really good bands can separate you. This being an example. Yes, it was a bond theme (not a great bond movie) but the mixing in this song is crazy. Keep doing that I think. Or change to videos for newer artists because that’s part of the art (who can imagine this is America without the video?). Anyways, love the diversity of your channel. Just a thought.

[@reactionextraction]

Thx for watching the show & for the comments. 👍🏼 We’ll mainly do Song Reactions with MV “mixed - in” because we love Album / 12” Single Cover Artwork & graphic design & the show is kinda what we have done since Ty was 8 yrs old, ha. With Video choices I’ll say; foreign language artist, Live performances & more Modern MV’s as you mentioned because it’s important to the Art-form today. Love the interaction & ideas your bringing! The B Side is a good one. We can try that, some pretty famous B Sides from back in the day.
