agreed. it's awesome. it's a really underrated track (i mean not within the duran duran community, but in the music community as a whole).
it's kind of a misnomer. it's not really a sample as a sort of re-imagining, i'd say. they're two totally different songs. the only things the two have in common is one line (it's sung by a different person so it's not even actually sampled) and i don't even really think any of the music is sampled. i'd say more like the mood or atmosphere is sampled, which sounds pretentious but i just mean like it's on a covers album, it's the only track on there written by them, but it's sorta inspired by one of their own songs.
agreed on all counts. white lines is great and continues to be great live. 911 is a joke cops way too much flak as being the worst (or one of the worst) songs ever. it was a great punching bag in the mid-to-late 90s. yes it's not their best, i'm not going to pretend it's perfection. but there are far worse songs that were released around that time (like even considered to be crap critically), but critics liked giving duran duran crap in the 80s and 90s, and once they covered a rap song then they REALLY liked giving them crap.I actually liked a lot of Thank You
Thank You, Perfect Day, and Lay Lady Lay are all really good.
White Lines was good.
And as bizarre as it is; I appreciated their take on 911 is a Joke.
If you repeat this often enough, that number will go down even faster.

Daft Punk doing a tour would be awesome by the way.
