Duran Duran

[Terence Fletcher]

I still think that.

You would be very much the minority, If Led Zeppelin headlined it would be by far the biggest attendance on the pyramid field ever, infact it would be a serious safety hazard, not to mention another 250,000 on the outside trying to break down the fencing.

[ian the worm]

I saw them in 2007 play at Live Earth.  They were great then.

I'm 44, I liked them when I was young and I like them now.

Whether they play depends on if Emily asks them.  I'm absolutely sure they'd say yes.

[Gnomicide]

They were the sort of shit my sister listened to, along with Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton.

Oh shit....

a quarter of a million middle aged people trying to break in!   I'd pay to see that! 

 

Oh on topic,  The Durrannies, not for me.

When they did the o2 in 2007 there was over 2 million applications for tickets, probably more than the number of people who try for Glasto, desire to see them at Glasto would be off the scale

oh I don't doubt many would want to see them, I just found amusement in them rushing the fences.  Be funny as fuck if that was what did for the festival after all these years.

There were 2.6 million applications for Oasis at Knebworth tickets and people were not breaking down fences to see them at Glasto.

[Slugworth]

Thought they was great at Bestival. Even the new stuff went down alright.

[Untz]

new stuff 

I was up for them until these two horrific words.

[LeeGalvin]

I was up for them until these two horrific words.

Yeah, agreed. I'd be up for a bit of Duran Duran, but if it isn't the likes of Reflex or Notorious, I'm not interested.

[Smeble]

Duran Duran greatest hits hell yeah

duran duran new stuff hell no

[CaledonianGonzo]

They're not even a bad shout to head up the Holts. 

[Mardy]

Let me boil ths down to essentials:

 

they're shit and you're a c**t

 

(aimed at no-one specific, just some general abuse)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Even though a long-term friend of the forum is involved?

 

[guypjfreak]

they were crap on jools .......in fact they all were ......WA were okish shes quite sexy lol

[Untz]

Neil's changed a lot since June.

[jonodillieono]

They only played 2 new songs at Bestival and they were fine, fitted in well with the rest of the set. I might actually give the new album a listen... do I have the 40 minutes to waste though?

[Bisque]

They were shite at Bestival but Ordinary World brought the whole crowd into a hugalong singsong, was quite nice.

[Thearg]

The Bond one was good but yeah generally just 80's pop poster smash hits affair 

If I do go I would go for that one song,I couldn't see me staying for Rio and the rest

[elias]

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

Absolutely. They were the pretty boy band of the New Romantic movement - a genre that was full of pretty boys anyway. Did nothing for me then, does nothing for me now.

[maelzoid]

Chrikey. I feel we are only days away from a Spandau Ballet thread.

[Homer]

I went along to Bestival set not expecting much but actually really enjoyed myself; sometimes for the right reasons (Girls On Film), sometimes for the wrong (their cover of White Lines).

[Untz]

Don't tempt me.
