Subject: Duran Duran's new world tour is off to a rough start
Written By: ChuckyG on 03/28/08 at 10:37 am
Yes, Duran Duran have a new album and are touring again. Things didn't go too well on the opening night of the tour, Simon Le Bon forgot the words to "Hungry Like the Wolf" and John Taylor stormed off stage during a song because as he said, "I could not dance to that. These people came here to dance." This tour is to promote the "Red Carpet Massacre" album which flopped when it was released last year. With Justin Timberlake and producer Timberland on board for the album, it's not really much of a surprise is it? Quite a fall from the last album with all five original members and a huge world tour to back it. It's not a big surprise that Andy wanted nothing to do with the current album.

What a shame. I hear the new album is all hip-hoppified. Is this true, Blue?

they were playing samples of it on their homepage when it came out... what I hear didn't sound that good. Not the first time the band dabbled in hip hop, they did it on their awful covers album "Thank You", which was a real bad idea at the time.

This is really unfortunate. Duran Duran have been one of the most enduring and popular bands from the 1980s, continuing their success into the following two decades as well. If they remain together as a band and record any new material, I hope they will stick with the style of music that has made them so popular over the past twenty-five + years...

That was the first album they did that I didn't like. I liked "White Lines" (which was Top 40 in the UK, Canada, among other places) but I found the album on the whole somewhat disappointing
'Red Carpet Massacre' and 'Pop Trash' are so far their only 2 albums that didn't chart a single into the UK Top 40
I still like Duran Duran regardless, but those Rio and Ragged Tiger days are long gone :\'(

well the song "Falling" has a video on their website now... it's better than some of the other tracks I heard, but the video starts with one of those three minute spoken word intros. I can't say it's all that interesting either.
