I don't agree with the ditto, they are great as they have evolved so much since the 80s. Just like Madonna & Depeche Mode have. A lot of the bands that should stay down have and some that are still making crap.

Once he fell over a speaker, once he tripped over a wire and then the final time he fell off the end of a ramp whilst looking down at my friend and I who were dancing drunkenly on the front row.

He also regularly forgets the words, and on one memorable occasion introduced everyone in the band but forgot to mention Andy Taylor.

Andy Taylor might as well not have been mentioned, he is the one that is on and off so many times from them. He left not too long ago again from the band.

Andy and the rest of the band parted company about 18 months ago. Whether he left or not is still specualtion. Or at least it will be until Andy's book comes out.... it's due soon. From what I have heard, it could be interesting reading.

Yeah I could not figure out why he left again, it was good to see them all live a few years ago. At least Roger is still there.

Have you seen the episode of Rock Profile where Matt Lucas and David Walliams are Duran Duran? Very funny!

You know, I did think the new single was very good. The chorus was catchy. But the rest of the album did NOT sound like Domino dancing. I think they were trying way to hard to pick the current fad and go with that and while I understand that's how you start out in music it wasn't them. I know they have that dancy sort of pop but I think they just should have not tried to please a newer generation and the album would have been much better.

^^I think Domino dancing were always about pleasing the current generation..(well, at least they try)

His girlfriend, later wife, used to cut my hair in 1981/82. Her name was Tracy.

Its just like the new Madonna record, she has Justin in there like Duran Duran had and its all to keep being popular.

Roger is still very much there. In fact, there have been naked shots of Roger which surfaced yesterday which show that he is most definitely still allll there.

Do you see Roger's todger?

I think a fair few people have now since those pics were floated out on cyberspace.

Pet Shop Girl · #44 Post by **Pet Shop Girl** » Sat 29 Mar 2008, 5:31 pm

OH yes, that is all that matters, as long as Roger, Simon, John & Nick are there, then its all good.

Apart from 3 or 4 decent songs, the only really good thing about Duran Duran was Yasmin.
