Union of the Snake - Duran Duran (Live from London)

Music video

[@ZXLNT]

Love that opening riff. Seriously gives me goosebumps..

[@mattma96]

+ZXLNT Yeah~ The intro really kicks ass!!!!!!!

[@rajithmaligaspe]

They all look genuinely happy playing off the energy of each other here. Its an utter shame Andy's not part of Duran anymore. He left a gaping hole.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

The only thing that I don't understand is why Andy and Simon weren't interacting with each other more?

[@johnrappaport3105]

Amazing. It's just as good on a record as it is live. So many Duran Duran songs are as good if not better live.

[@tinasuarez61]

John Taylor is RIPPING that Bass!! It sounds Damn Good!! Nick Taylor, Roger Taylor You 2 are on Fire also!!!

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

You mean Nick Rhodes. LOL! :D. Andy is the other Taylor.

[@BBWNYLatina]

Awesome!!! Andy Hamilton rocked that sax!!!

[@lovelynurse2000]

Have you read Andy's book. If not, it is very good. I know that Andy won't be back, and I know why. It takes 5 to tango, so to say, and there were other reasons other than Andy being difficult. It is a very good book, and I feel for Andy because there are many issues in his life that he is working on. I wish him the best. I have always loved his style, and seeing him live blew me away.

[@lovelynurse2000]

I agree. Saw them live in Columbus OH for the first (and only) time, and was BLOWN AWAY by Andy Taylor. His sound is unique, his sound IS Duran Duran. I have been a fan for 30 years, but I have no desire to see them live without Andy. I still LOVE them, but they are missing something without Andy.

[@80bestever]

amazing sound........better and better through the years

[@CyberfaceisInsane]

Even better than the studio version!

[@lacykat05]

NO one can hit those notes like Simon!!!

[@darlenetrevino2852]

love my duran duran always !!!!!! fan since 1983

[@stephensmith1256]

same as me ,since I was 12 years old they are so awesome even after all these years my heroes and icons le bon girl 71 xx

[@MykillinK]

@brchris69 Because Andy Taylor's guitar tone on this tour kicked ass

[@CelesteK]

Roger's still got it. :) When he quit the band in 86 it was never the same without him. Now he's happier than I've ever seen him just being one of the guys again. :)

[@いくのみみ]

ANDY !! is here !!

[@Kent1699]

Guitars are what Duran Duran was known for. No Andy Taylor no Duran Duran.

[@ceciliamartinezgranados9642]

simon lebon una de las pocas voces que sin verlo sabes quien es arriba duran duran x siempre

[@IMurderdTheDevil]

Andy Taylor's guitar work is what Duran Duran needs.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Yeah, I agree with you there. But when it gets to the point where you feel you can't work with your friend and bandmate anymore that's when you know you have to let that person go before it really becomes more problematic than it needs to be.

[@lyliakar]

Dom Brown is a nice guy, but he'll never be able to play this song like Andy.

[@beanzie46]

I totally agree. Unfortunately Andy has stage 4 cancer. Devastating

[@IMurderdTheDevil]

@@beanzie46 really? i didn't know that. awful.

[@johnrambo3831]

Andy always gave them the edge they needed. His guitar work was sorely missed after he left in ‘86.

[@thedutchfisherman7078]

I totally agree man! No Andy Taylor NO Duran Duran for me! It`s just not DD anymore, no matter what guitarplayer they choose to replace him. It`s the same like The Rolling Stones without Keith Richards, just doesn`t make sense anymore then. Miss you man, such a waste and shame you`re not with them anymore....

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

One of their greatest songs. Love it. Watch out, the mullet may come back.

[@katyalacrua6793]

Awesome live version.

[@cuchitovader]

...gran version, grande andy taylor...

[@dinow.wardhana8522]

miss Andy

[@wickedpissa25]

I LOVE the crowd yell at 0:25

[@Button36]

This is an absolutely brilliant performance. DD is like a fine wine that gets better with age. Gosh, and look how many people are in the audience. They've definitely still got it. Thanks for posting this!

[@johnrappaport3105]

And if I listen close I can hear them singers... Melt.

[@いくのみみ]

ANDY, I missing you ! always ………

[@JoseAntonio-ov8rh]

Banda Duran Duran considero a banda Mais Humilde do Mundo! Seus clips não tem mansões, carros de luxo, ouro, camisa do Corinthians...e sim..vejo clip deles em lugares tipo mato..selva..elefantes... enfim..coisas simples e natural. Extremamente Abençoados..Mas a Potência e qualidade... é riquíssima! Final dos anos 90...era a banda mais barata..em conta...pra se Contratar...Amor e Presença Divina na vida de Todos Vcs!

[@abssca6138]

@JoseAntonio-ov8rh E o som que eles fazem é sensacional .

[@jonswiftlive3179]

some great memories of my youth here, thank you duran

[@asarjaathaljabrandt1968]

Mega-geile Performance. Die Jungs haben es immer noch drauf. Klasse von Simon, dass er den 🎷 Saxophonisten noch extra hervor gehoben hat. Der Bursche war echt super. 👍

[@CelesteK]

Oh yeah. Their energy here is just so amazing. It was like they never broke up.

[@raydio7069]

Turn up the keys!! This song is much heavier than most their other pop singles. I'll bet Andy has a blast on this one! "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" on my list of all-time greatest albums!! Thanks for posting.

Oh my God... Duran Duran still awesome..

[@distorcio]

Amo el riff de la guitarra de andy taylor, es imcreible como se come el escenario,de un lado a otro,le da un toque rockero, el saxofonista es un crack. Duran duran leyendas eternas!! Simon, nick rhodes, john, roger y andy taylor,warren coccourollo y ahora ultimo dominic brown en la guitarra,leyendas!!

[@SyrDoN]

The greatest bands all have a sax player. Pink floyd. Stones, This band. So many.

[@CelesteK]

Yeah he and Roger have aged well. Roger is one of but a hand full of drummers who have grown old gracefully. Roger must do a lot of upper body work and cardio to look that great. :)

[@OrchidJayne]

He sure does. I enjoyed getting the chance to see them a few months back. I agree it was not the same when he left the band. Roger was having a great time during the show he was always smiling and joking with Simon. Glad he is back. Hope Nick is feeling better.

[@CrassMufumbu]

@lakechaney That was deliberate..the song was written around the lets dance drum beat.

[@bernuga]

I remember during 80's they were comsidered a "B" band for their pop music, but this is a triple AAA performance and Simon voice is unbelievable

[@anestisntanis6870]

Because the sound and arrangements is beyond their ages…they use the same sounds and arrangements and still f@@@ng all the new bands

[@goku8586]

who's that little kid playing the electric guitar...oh..

[@tds6599]

SO FUCKING GOOD. A+++++++++

[@blondetopaz01]

Rodger Taylor...... yum. love the chick singing.

[@HoraceScope]

Brings back so many good memories from that 2004 tour!

[@rubenazcurra5130]

[@kevinkaatz883]

Kick ass song. 95% of their stuff is great, sounds easy to play yet way more complicated than it sounds

[@silverflyer5003]

1:28 JIm Carrey on bass? :)

[@SyrDoN]

All of them were as perfect as the eagles together.

Una de mis preferidas!!! Hail Duran Duran.🏆👏👏👏

[@kindhearted1]

They are my favourite band! I remember all these songs, like it was yesterday. They sound amazing! Thank you, mgknight01 for posting all these great duran duran clips! 10*****

[@CelesteK]

Well, you're going to be waiting for a long time because I read an article that had a statement from that was on DD's website that said that they have severed all personal and professional ties with Andy because they felt that he was becoming increasingly difficult to work with. Nice way of saying Andy didn't want to do the work anymore.

[@debraricobene4856]

Not true he didn't want to do crap which is what RCM is he was right.

[@lucianamaggi1199]

Concerto grandioso

[@CelesteK]

Telegram forced and ready I knew this was a big mistake There's a fine line drawing our senses together and I think it's about to break I'm so close I can hear them singers now Voices in your body coming through on the radio The union of the snake is on the climb moving up it's going to race up going to break going to move up to the borderline. :)

[@CelesteK]

Yeah! I heard that Nick came down with a virus. John said that Simon lost his voice last year and that was when he started writing his memoires. I almost went to his book signing at Indigos in Toronto last month but with the onset of the hurricane hitting Toronto I was afraid that I would be stuck there with no way of getting home. From what I understand the place was packed full of fans and I probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere close to him anyways. I've been a Duranie for a long time..

[@kevinkaatz883]

John Taylor is one of the most underrated bassists

[@RichardLittlejohn-eq7ii]

Send energy to Catherine

[@RichardLittlejohn-eq7ii]

Love you baby

[@nelsonvargas2367]

Simon Lebon makes it look so easy , but in reality it is not .

[@CelesteK]

I'm glad that they got Roger back on the drums. It was really the right thing to do. :)

Oops. I'm so sorry. I meant to give you comment a thumbs up, but accidentally clicked thumbs down. Maybe someone could hit the thumbs up button a couple times for me. I can't undo it.

[@w4ncent]

oh my... they are great in Live... not just a boy band that showing fashion and styles... like it.. thx

[@CelesteK]

500 word limit I think I was 10 when Duran Duran really got famous in 1986 and two of the three unrelated Taylors were gone. Andy and Roger. It's good that Andy and Roger agreed to do this because the other drummers that DD had just didn't have the same amount edginess that Roger has. But I was sad to see Andy go again and over something as stupid as what direction to take the music in.

[@CelesteK]

I agree with you. Getting Andy and Roger back was the right thing but I think Andy seemed to be a tad tempermental and in the end he seemed a bit ungrateful for the opportunity to get back together with his band. :(

[@yadek8]

Sure DD always sounded great live... cos there are real musicians in the band, and Simon really sings... Not like some bands like Coldplay that really sucks performing live.. those guys are nothing outside the studio walls, really boring sound playing live. Long live Duran Duran !

[@mauriciovillavargas9890]

I AM the 101

[@CelesteK]

I have too. I haven't read Andy's book nor have I read John's book. I would like to read both John and Andy's books just so I can get their perspectives about things.

[@powerstation34]

Que raro, no se le ve el mismo furor de los primeros días al baterista Roger Taylor, da la impresión de que toca por tocar. No se si lo notan o si será cosa mía.

[@lovelynurse2000]

I really enjoyed seeing Andy with them at the concert I went to. It was around the time his father passed and I wasn't sure that I would get to see him. I have sympathy for him, he has went through a lot. Dom is good, but there was something magical with all of them together. I still love them, have since I was 10, and always will. I just hate that they could not make it work, but life happens.

[@dspeleos]

This video is from the Astronaut reunion tour a few years back where Andy and Roger Taylor both returned to the band. Since then Andy has again left and Dom Brown plays guitar for them. Roger Taylor stayed with the band and is currently touring with them.

[@itzelll.fragoso3602]

Love, love this song❤❤
