Are Durham Duran a tribute band for Duran Duran?

[Deano77]

I believe they are the north easts top tribute act.

Now you have changed the thread title my post looks silly 

[Deano77]

Disclaimer-my original post title was Durham Duran. Mattyc1965 is in no way silly.

Saw them at Bestival this year. You know, they kinda suck.

Except I am of course very silly.

I have to disagree with the last bit. 

 

Edit- Matty beat me to it!

another example of revisionism on here. They were shit in the 80s. Why does 30 years passing make them good?

As far as Duran Duran goes, I saw them on Jools, and thought they sounded like they were going through the motions, without much energy, but a greatest hits set on a cider-and-sun-soaked afternoon would probably be good fun for anyone who remembers them fondly.

weren't Led Zeppelin generally regarded as being a bit shite back in the day? and wasn't Exile On Main St seen as a bit of a disappointment on it's release? not that i'm saying Duran Duran in any way compare to those two, but time definitely has a weird effect on some music. i had zero expectations of Duran Duran when i saw them at Bestival (basically wanted to see Ordinary World and then get out of there) but they nailed it. so many big songs. would be a far better addition to third down on the Pyramid than what we'll undoubtedly get instead (Emeli Sande etc)

I dunno, they were just one of those bands that you would have never ever admitted being a fan of when you were at school. But then again the same can be said of fleetwood mac, and I dont mind them now so what do I know.

I still think that.

They were fantastic at Bestival 

[Deano77]

I've always loved all things 80's so would love to scream along drunkenly to their hits.

when bands like that first come about there's always that whole 'they're uncool, i don't like them' thing - when said bands reform/are looked at a decade/two/whatever later, i guess that whole thing goes away and people can start enjoying them without feeling guilty about it. hate to think what shite bands of today i'll be praising in twenty years

'dad what the hell is this crap you're listening to?'

'show some respect son - this is Alt-J!'

Love Duran Duran, one of the bands I grew up on

Ideal for headlining Other Stage

[mungo57]

I would love to see Duran Duran at G - legends would be great but I see them as Other headliner or Pyramid sub really. Always wanted to see them live.

[jackarmy]

I thought they were quality at Bestival. Could comfortably sub the Pyramid/headline the Other Stage.

[slash's hat]

Would love seeing Duran Duran, some great tunes from my youth. Not sure how they hold up performance wise these days, but would be fun.

[fatyeti24]

They're made for the Pyramid.

Agree with the revisionism posts. They were universally despised apart from by their schoolgirl fan base.

if any band members are now bald then maybe they could be given a go, if not then no thanks
