yeah, so we haven't had one of these...ever. guess we're overdue then huh?!
be careful what you wish for. i can easily recite the third word of the second verse of the fifth track of their eighth album.Zootlesque said:whyyyyyyyyyyyy why why whyyyyyyyyyyyyy don't you go and do that!
summer of 96. vh1 was doing this thing they used to do where they'd play all their videos (by everyone) from a-z for 4th of july weekend. i was out of town so i set my vcr to tape something else on there. i guessed the time so i just had it tape all evening.Zootlesque said:BTW, when did you get into their stuff?
KhanadaRhodes said:
and only because it's bugging me now...
if you count arena:
eighth album: thank you
fifth track: lay lady lay
magic word: lay
if you don't:
eighth album: medazzaland
fifth track: who do you think you are
magic word: on
well i mean yeah i knew their stuff before that because of the radio and such, but yeah i didn't start buying their stuff until 96. i've been a lifelong fan really. one of my earliest memories was watching the reflex video on friday night videos.Zootlesque said:Wow, you discovered them after I did. Ordinary World was my introduction to Duran Duran, as funny as that sounds cos The Wedding Album was so much different from anything upto that point. Of course, you say you knew many of the songs before. I got Decade (for $1.99 in fact and it still plays great) and that's how I heard many of those old songs except of course the obvious ones like HLTW or Rio which I'd known before. But yeah, the videos for Ordinary World and Come Undone drool: ) were what caught my attention. Also, I that word, Medazzaland.

i wish i'd recorded those phone calls, most people didn't know what i was talking about!
yes!!Zootlesque said:Yeah, I can imagine.... Huh? Medazza...what?
Zootlesque said:I love their version of Perfect Day. It's beautiful.
damnit yeah i guess i should too.Zootlesque said:Okay... as much as I don't wanna do this, I gotta logout and go to bed. I'll catch you later?
well i've gotta go to bed now but we shall see.Zootlesque said:Good night! And keep this thread alive.

watch me as i drool over the bass god!
hmm, really? do you know when they did?indra said:And did you know The Church opened for Duran Duran for something like six shows? They dropped out after that -- apparently a really bad fit for The Church crowd-wise.
they kick ass live. every time i've seen them they've put on such a great show.bonosgirl84 said:i just saw them at the joint (hardrock las vegas) a few weeks ago
it was seriously one of the most enjoyable shows i've ever been to.
well yeah, but i always have a soft spot for john who i think is aging very well too. (as long as he doesn't spike his hair up like he's been doing at times. who told him that looked good??)Diane L said:And I must say, Roger Taylor is looking really, really hot these days!!! I think he's aged the best of the guys, looks-wise.
