"Reflex" was another huge hit around the same time. It was a one-two punch of mid-80's power.
There was a time when “the reflex” was played always and everywhere!
They reacted to "The Reflex" two years ago, in case you haven't seen it.
The Reflex is a great song but the lyrics are quite frankly nuts.
New Moon On Monday, Come Undone and Ordinary World are three of my favorites
They did that one about 2 years ago. But another video somewhat in the same vein, that they haven't done yet is Everything She Wants by WHAM!
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "New Moon On Monday" and "Union of the Snake"!!!
Love both those songs
This song and the 2 mentioned here have that Mad Max vibe in the vids. Love them all.
Agreed. Have they done "Is there something I should know?" Great one as well.
@@timgerke8714 I don't see that song posted, and I don't think they have. Sometimes songs get taken down, as they mentioned.
2 of my DD faves!
Their James Bond theme A View To A Kill is a great one I like the video to it
Love it!
❤
Definitely. Plus more reasons for them to watch the James Bond movies!!
Couldn't agree more on this one, as not only is it one of Duran Duran's best tunes, it's one of the best Bond themes out there. It gets its proper due among DD fans, but among Bond theme fans, often not so much, as sometimes it doesn't even make top 10. It's a top 5 for me personally, and those 5 are probably interchangeable depending on my mood and day of the week.
I loved it to much as a kid, Roger Moore was my Bond!
Duran Duran "NEW MOON ON MONDAY" ❤
That, to me m, is their absolute best video. And their style is so awesome.
Yep!
My favourite by far @@jeanine6328
Simon and his wife of 38 years live a five min walk from my family home, he’s regularly seen in the local shop and seems a really down to earth friendly guy
I met him once in Colorado, and he was super sweet. 😊
That’s awesome! Where do you live?
@@autygris1 He lives in Putney, South London.. I was raised there and left to live in another part of London quite a few years ago. My brother still lives in the same childhood home which as I said is a short walk from Simon.
"Save a Prayer" was one of my DD favorites and an older song (1982), but pretty much everything on The Wedding Album (1993) was amazing.
They definitely need to do save a prayer!! Favourite track
Yes, I've been asking them to react to Save a prayer many times. C'mon Jay, give the people what they want... I'm one of the people. Thanks
I love how Simon Le Bon nearly died from drowning for this video and Jay is bopping away without looking 🤣
At the time, this was the most expensive music video ever made.
Thanks for confirming that memory. Didn't the engine stop while Simon's head was underwater during the shoot?
He also nearly drowned taking part in a round the world sailing competition. I remember hearing about it and crying on the bus and having the piss ripped out of me by my peers 😂
It was just PR machine in motion at the time
I remember this
John Taylor's basslines have always been like a clinic on how to play bass, in fact he does do tutorials on his youtube channel. A free bass tutorial from one of the greatest bass players in rock history? That's a great deal!
A View To A Kill is one of the two best Bond opening songs of all time.
Even now, Duran Duran is still putting out bangers!
🤔
J, John Taylor the Bassist from Duran Duran is a Bad Ass Bassist! Very UNDERRATED!
Every girl in middle school class loved Duran Duran.
i loved every middle school girl back then
You should have met the high school or college girls who loved them. The first time I saw them in concert, there wasn't a middle schooler in sight...lol.
John Taylor is a very underrated bass player. The synth drum is really representative of the decade
In the U.S., The Wild Boys could have been Duran Duran's second consecutive #1 song after The Reflex (#1 August 1984) leading to a 3rd consecutive #1 song with A View To A Kill (#1 July 1985). But, The Wild Boys anchored in at #2 for Four Straight Weeks. That must have been rough for the band. The first week for Duran Duran at #2, The Wild Boys was behind Daryl Hall & John Oates' #1 song Out Of Touch. The next week, Madonna's Like A Virgin leapfrogged The Wild Boys into the #1 spot from #3 & Duran Duran resided at #2 for three more weeks behind Madonna. Like A Virgin remained at #1 for seven consecutive weeks total. Not bad for Nile Rodgers who produced both songs.
Duran Duran - "Is There Something I should Know?".
Duran Duran has had so MANY great hits! And “Wild Boys” is one of my very favorites. Listen to how much BETTER 80s music is to 2020s music!! So powerful, so creative, so original, such amazing sound!! 🫠
"Save a Prayer" Their best track :) A guilty Pleasure of mine ;)
Why guilty? It's great
To be fair they aren’t really my kind of band but “Save a Prayer” is awesome :)
@@gypsyofthesky1 Still, why guilty? It's a beautiful song & recognized as such by one of the best bands the world over.
Go back to the very beginning with Duran Duran - 'Planet Earth' - in 1981. Such a thrilling year in pop music and culture.
New sounds and new styles that shaped a shiny new decade.
I always felt like this video was the trailer for a 1980s post-apocalyptic movie that never happened.
If you're still looking for more Duran Duran videos, "Union of the Snake" has a similar feel to this one but the song imo is even better - one of the funkiest tracks they've done. "Is There Something I Should Know?" is also a great tune and an interesting video. These guys were so huge that I find it weird that pretty much the only song that gets played on the radio etc. anymore is Hungry Like the Wolf. "The Reflex" was #1 on my local radio station's weekly countdown for what seemed like most of a year. I think it's almost a curse of this band being so eclectic and so different that they really don't fit in even with the other '80s bands you still hear today. I'm really glad you all are enjoying them.
P.S. I also love the song "Last Chance on the Stairway" off the Rio album but I'm not sure if there's a video for it.
I Don't Want Your Love and All She Wants Is are both great songs
Both #1 songs in the USA & in the European dance charts back in 1988 & 1989!
My favorite of Duran Duran's is the first song I heard (as a teenager) "Planet Earth". So cool, trippy and fun to dance to ❣
Great song. Their first hit and a staple in the early days of MTV.
The first song I ever heard from Duran Duran, and the reason why I became obsessed with their music.
@@richardc8795 Yay!
Great song. Awesome video. I still listen to it from time to time. It held up well.
@@thebeardedseeker5633 Right! Great production values!
Simon Le Bon is the lead singer. John Taylor bass, Nick Rhodes synth, Andy Taylor guitar and Roger Taylor is the drummer. Also, this song live is the best. It is so amazing.
I’d forgotten just how good the drum track on this song was. Fabulous’80’s drumming that truly propels the whole song forward. ✌️
Duran Duran "VIEW TO A KILL" (theme song to James Bond 007 movie) ❤❤❤
They don't know James Bond. Jay thinks it's a video game. I would love to see them watch every 007 movie. All 25
@@davidhuggan6315 Oh my gosh! I can't fathom not knowing "James Bond/007". Are we that old?? 😂
@user-or1ye3iz6d My kids love James Bond and they are between 15 and 8
Their epic music video! This is one of their last glorious moments of the Fab Five! Simon LeBron almost drowned during the making the this video.
*Le Bon😊
Absolutely my favorite group. You should have seen my room growing up in the 80s. I had Duran Duran posters on every wall and every closet door. 😂😂 I got to see them in concert last summer here in Cuyahoga Falls and I can honestly say they still got it!
#duranieforever ❤🎉❤
Let’s not forget those DD pins on your jean jacket!! Maybe even a DD painter’s hat?! The 80’s ruled! ☺️❤️
Same ❤️❤️❤️
@@andyrunton I had those too LOL
Same same same 💕 I was so in love with John. Still am, a little.
I ran out of walls and then covered the ceiling too 😂
Great analysis! Lead singer, Simon Le Bon, studied drama at the University of Birmingham in England. He definitely has the acting chops! 💯👍
On the subject of Duran Duran on MTV, "The Chauffer" video was banned from MTV (a sure way to increase sales), yet it's available on CZcams. It's a work of art and a great song too...
DD are the artists who are accepted as the ones who took the greatest advantage of the new MTV
One of my favs is also "Come Undone"....as a side note a little gem of a song called "Election Day" had Simon at the helm for a band he formed with Nick Rhodes called Arcadia before Duran Duran got back together around 1986. Great tune.
Also "The Promise" was an excellent song from Arcadia.
Come Undone in my fav ballad!!
I am not sure what you mean by helm but Arcadia was Nick Rhodes' idea and he formed Arcadia with Simon Le Bon & Roger Taylor.
@@edwardf103 Simon was the lead singer. Thanks for the clarification about the band's formation. Cheers :)
I was more of a Power Station fan when it came to Duran Duran side projects. Bang a Gong was phenomenal!
One of my favorite videos from the era, along with The Reflex...Duran Duran was my go to band back then and now.
Yes! One of my favorite DD songs! (disclaimer: there are quite a number of them ;)
Others I'd recommend: "New Moon on Monday", "View to a Kill", "Save a Prayer"
They reviewed A View to a Kill a long time ago. It might still be up. You can search for it on their channel.
@@aliciazambri4237 Thank you!
Well, I just searched for A View to a Kill and I don't see it. I don't know if it was taken down or what. Maybe I imagined they reviewed it? lol. I agree with all of your recommendations.
No worries, aliciazambri, Thank You, anyways.
Been a fan since I was 10 years old! I have seen them several times. Always a great show! I even have a Duran Duran tattoo! View to A Kill,New Moon On Monday,Union Of The Snake,The Reflex,Planet Earth, The Chauffer,Girls On Film
This video/music came from their 1st huge world tour that put them on the map. Everyone considered it the Arena Tour but it was the Sing Blue Silver Tour. One of there last stops on the tour was a 3-show stint in Oakland that was filmed as a concert for Cinemax. After this tour ended, they separated and stemmed off into 2 other groups. They only performed together for one event before they regrouped which was Live Aid in 85.
This video/music did not come from "their 1st huge world tour that put them on the map" & it has nothing to do with the tour. First: Duran Duran was "already" internationally on the map since Rio came out in May 1982, a year and half before their world tour started. Duran Duran were popular in the UK, Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada & in the USA. What this tour did do was elevate Duran Duran into arguably becoming the biggest band in the world & into a hysteria- unseen since The Beatles came to Unites States in 1964, with their fan base.
Second: Duran Duran started their world tour to support their new album, "Seven And The Ragged Tiger," released in November 1983, in Canberra, Australia on November 12, 1983 & ended their tour in San Diego, California on April 17, 1984. Duran Duran's world tour was called the "Sing Blue Silver Tour."
Third: "The Wild Boys," has nothing to do whatsoever with their world tour. The most revered music video director at the time, Russell Mulcahy, who directed Duran Duran's first video, Planet Earth, followed by many others such as, Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf, Save A Prayer, Is There Something I Should Know? & The Reflex & etc., had bought the rights to William S. Burroughs' novel, "The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead" (1971) & planned to make a movie based on this book. Mulchay wanted Duran Duran to do the soundtrack for the movie. So, three months after Duran Duran's world tour ended, the band went into the studio in July 1984 to write & record the title track & anthem for Mulcahy's film called "The Wild Boys." The film did not materialize & Mulchay's vision for the movie was actualized in the "The Wild Boys" music video he directed.
Fourth: "Everyone" did not consider the "Sing Blue Silver Tour" the "Arena Tour." No one would have even known to have called this tour the "Arena Tour" & it would not have made any sense to do so.
Fifth: Duran Duran released "The Wild Boys" as a single in October 1983 & the song was added as a bonus track to their live album, which was released a month later in November 1984, titled "Arena." The only connection "The Wild Boys" has with the "Sing Blue Silver Tour" is that the song was added as a track to (help sell) their Arena album. That's it. And in March 1985, Duran Duran released a concert film titled "Arena (An Absurd Notion)."
Last: You say, "After this tour ended, they separated and stemmed off into 2 other groups. They only performed together for one event before they regrouped which was Live Aid in 85." This is the event that the band "regrouped" for mate in July 1985 after the band "separated and stemmed off into 2 other groups." The band soon became a trio from being a quintet & Live Aid was the last time the five members performed together until 2001.
Roger Taylor the drummer grew up in a house less than a couple of hundred metres from my house. He went to the same school too. Jeff Lynne from ELO, lived just round the corner too.😁
“ They tried to tame you, looks like they’ll try again… “
So true,
Great song. Classic video!
"Girls on Film" is totally 80's!

Love 80’s Duran
Love 90’s Duran
Love 00’s Duran
Love 10’s Duran
Love 20’s Duran
11 studio albums from 1990-2023
Duran are not just an 80’s band
They were the biggest band on the planet and they owned the 80’s but the best bands of all time evolve and Duran evolve with each album
No album is the same
Always pushing boundaries
Always reaching for something new and always giving us essential Duran Duran
Duran Duran were the masters of the 80s Video
"View to a kill" is a really good tune of there's that needs to be checked out it was also a Bond theme tune
And the only Bond theme to reach No. 1 on Billboard.
Rupauls favorite Bond theme
Fantastic group. You should revisit the popular 80's group, ABC. Check out their song, "When Smokey Sings." Great tribute to Smokey Robinson and the sounds of Motown. The 80s ROCK!! 💯👍🤘🔥
That one and their song, Be Near Me.
Love When Smoky sings another great from 80's!
Look of love
I’ve always been a huge Duran Duran fan finally got to play out my 15-year-old self’s dream in June 2023. They played concert in Atlanta. They were really good and their opening act was Nile Rogers he produced this song and the reflex this song was supposed to be part of a movie soundtrack the Director of the video was wanting to do a full length film about a book of the same name the Wild boys. and that book was written, in 1971. But the movie never happened, but we still get this awesome song.
Duran Duran and KISS have always been two of my absolute favourite bands! I've loved their music since the early 80s (I'm 51).
The Scorpions, particularly the 70s lineup, also tops my list.
You've reacted to some of their 80s stuff but I highly recommend you check out "Sails of Charon" and "We'll Burn the Sky"!
Friends of Mine! Careless Memories! Hold Back the Rain!
"Friends of Mine" was my favorite song from that album. It's quite different in the verses.
Duran Duran was my favorite band in high school..love me some John Taylor....❤
This was an iconic 80s song - thank you for playing this here. Another iconic 80s song from the UK which I am sure you will enjoy is “Life in a Northern Town” by the Dream Academy - haunting and beautiful all in one.
''Careless Memories'' - ''Friends of Mine'' - ''Sound of Thunder'' pretty much anything you react to from the first album is good..
I was crazy over duran duran when I was a kid.
Also this million dollar video features one of the first flat screen TV'S when the production crew said all TV's will be like that in the future they were right
Can't go wrong with this one. Produced by Nile Rodgers and the video was directed by Russell Mulcahy. This was my favorite era of theirs.
Love Duran Duran!!!
Duran Duran did an awesome cover of White Lines by Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel that’s definitely worth a reaction when you get back to your covers series.
When this video came out on MTV I was so freaking obsessed with it.. a little creeped out too. (That white robot face thing gave me the heebie jeebies).. And I loved it
I remember when MTV world premiered the Wild Boys video in September 84. It didn't disappoint. Duran Duran were at the height of their powers.
It's been a while so you memory must be a little "fuzzy" but pretty good since it has been four decades. The song was released in October 1984.
Hey y’all! Their song “Hungry Like the Wolf” is a must listen! Along with “New Moon on Monday”,The Reflex”,Union of the Snake” and more.🫶🏼🙂✌️
Check out Ultravox if you're looking for another 80s group.
YES guys! Can NOT go without the greatest 80’s band. There music is a staple of pure 80’s fun. Love it guys and keep up the great reactions!❤❤❤❤❤❤
They were not the greatest 80's band
I wouldn't say they were THE greatest band of the 80s, but they were up there as one of the best, along with quite a few others.
Amber nailed the Peter Pan reference, nice work on the creative-critical side of things, mades the literary geek in me happy.
So many amazing songs from Duran Duran, favorite band from the 80's
The Chauffeur is another amazing DD track. Lead singer Simon Le Bon, Bass John Taylor, Lead guitar Andy Taylor, Keyboard Nick Rhodes and Drums Roger Taylor. Definition of 80's UK music ❤🎉❤🎉
Popular Band, LOL understatement my sister and all her friends had their poster all over the walls they were in love with all of them, I think every girl was like that in the 80's. they are a great band .
This is the song I always think of when hear Duran Duran.
Aztec Camera - Something in my Heart is another 80s track I'm sure you'll love
They have avoided being the same forever. As the members changed and grew, so did their music. I went to several of their concerts, back in the day.
Duran Duran is awesome stuff, even today.
Old school Duran Duran, NOTHING beats The Chauffer.
Beautiful and haunting. Still one of my fave songs decades later. That and "The Seventh Stranger"
Save a Prayer?
that’s probably my favorite one. also, the sleep thief version is cool in just a different way.
Girls on Film comes close to beating the Chauffer
It's probably the most boring song they ever recorded 💯 .
One of my favorite songs by DD because I love the percussion in this song. As someone noted earlier, Simon LeBon nearly drowned because the windmill stopped when he got to the bottom and his head was under water.
Save a prayer is a iconic Duran video and song
My parents met Duran Duran at a family wedding. Apparently, they were super chill and awesome people. I still hear mum put their songs on while she does work around the house
I just saw them for the 44 th time inConcert last weekend . But that’s over the last 40 yrs! .. I’ve seen them 4 times just in the past 2 years . My first DD show I was 15, I went again on my 16 th bday . They’ve never stopped touring and I’ve never stopped going . I am now55.⭐️⭐️🤣⭐️⭐️Durannie 4 Life🤍☑️
Duran Duran best band on planet earth 🌎🌍🌎 they are still era writing new music 🎵🎶🎵 45 yrs wow wow wow wow 2011 all you need is now 2015 pressure off features Nile Rodgers 2021 invisible and anniversary and 2023 Black moonlight featuring Nile Rodgers check ✔️✅ um out epic awesome amazing band 👍👌👌
I was a Durany in the 80’s. Would love to see reviews for Planet Earth, Please Please Tell Me Now. They also have a brilliant cover for Perfect Day, which Lou Reed highly praised. Great review guys! Ty!
My favorite band when I was in high school! Best part of the video is John Taylor tied to the roof of the car!
Lead singer Simon LeBon almost died during the shooting while on that wnidmill. It stopped while he was underwater.
Love this track. Duran Duran Save a Prayer is an amazing track too x
Duran Duran - new moon on monday / union of the snake / view to a kill / the reflex / all she wants is
Save a prayer and The Chauffeur are two songs that anyone new coming to Duran have to hear. The Chauffeur is just stunning, not everyone's cup of tea but it's one of their earliest songs, and they've performed so many incredible interpretations of it.
Both songs are beautiful & The Chauffeur is so different to anything that was released back then and still to this day. A phenomenal song and way ahead of its time for 1982.
❤Duran Duran front man and lead singer is Simon LeBon.
*I remember my 1st time hearing Duran Duran, it was their song PLANET EARTH. I still love that song to this day.*
In the 80s I was told I was a fool because Simon was not a great singer. But in every song (esp. this one and New Moon On Monday) you can hear he's got a very wide vocal range. And I've had a crush on him since 1982...
More 80s bands to check out, Go west - call me, we close our eyes; Bodeans - you don’t get much, only love, closer to free; David and david - welcome to the boomtown, swallowed by the cracks, ain’t so easy; Abc - when smokey sings, be near me; Hothouse flowers (irish) - I’m sorry, don’t go, give it up; The alarm (welsh) - rain in the summertime, sold me down the river; World party - ship of fools, all come true, way down now, put the message in the box; The call - let the day begin, the walls came down, I still believe, everywhere I go; Thompson twins - lies, lay your hands on me; The motels - total control; Romeo void - a girl in trouble, never say never; Thomas dolby - I love you goodbye, Europa and the pirate twins, I love you goodbye; Tears for fears - closest thing to heaven; Timbuk 3 - the future’s so bright, life is hard
I remember Closest Thing to Heaven by The Kane Gang, not Tears for Fears
Go West is my all-time favourite band. I love don't look down there.
Boomtown is a great album.
Ship of Fools and Let The Day Begin are two of my most favorite songs. Ship Of Fools still being so topical for the here and now.
There are several closest thing to heaven songs but the Tears for Fears song isn't the same as the Kane Gang one.@@Xiroi87
You guys are right about calling the video a Mad Max vibe. This Music video was made to completely pay homage to The Road Warrior. Which had everyone blown away in the early 80s! I've heard The Road Warrior was the number one movie Bands would watch on their tour buses in the 80s.
“Save a Prayer” is SUBLIME! ❤❤❤❤
Danse macarbra is one of Duran Durans most recent song, and it’s absolutely amazing! The video is fantastic too. Definitely deserves a look ❤️
Duran Duran has a new album called "Danse Macabre". A recent music video from it is "Black Moonlight", which has original member Andy Taylor (plus Nile Rodgers) on guitar.
The song was produced by Nile Rodgers, who had worked on the remix of the group’s previous single, The Reflex.
The idea for the song came from director Russell Mulcahy, who wanted to make a feature film based on William S. Burroughs' novel Wild Boys (The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead). He proposed to the band to compose a rock score for the film, similar to how he would ask Queen for Highlander - The Last Immortal in 1986. [6]
Thanks for posting all that. I came to the comments to say that if nobody else had. :D
Really good choice . Love the tribal vibe of this song . A well known UK ‘ boy band ‘ from the next decade I’m surprised you haven’t reacted to ,is Tale That .
Check out their songs Relight My Fire featuring Lulu ( who you reacted to with her 60s song to To Sir With Love ) or their biggest hit Pray .
Aaaah! Duran Duran! My Jr High school band crush! I totally had ALL the teen magazine posters of them all over my walls! 😂
It is easy to oversee DD, but they may have been the greatest Band of the 80ties. They had had hits all through the decade.
The 80s was magic! A time when the videos was every bit as memorable as the songs.
Jay and Amber In 1984 Duran Duran did a concert called “Arena” 2 videos came from that concert footage The reflex and Wild boys. I think you two would enjoy it.
LOVE Duran Duran!!
an interesting song to listen to would be ' the chauffeur '. DD was very influencial and they coined the term ' new romantic' in their song 'planet earth '. ✌️
A View To A Kill with Bon, Simon Le bon is from the James Bond movie title track. Le bon is the lead singer.
Duran Duran also covered "White Lines" by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five. They were really a great 80's band that had a great come back in the 90's.
Comeback? That's a myth. A Comeback is for someone like Santana who hadn't had a hit song for 15 years with multiple albums that did not sell for many years. Duran Duran had one album Liberty (1990) that was not a commercial success in between hit albums. Big Thing (1988) & The Wedding Album (1993).
DD is one of my favorite bands ever! Love their sound, their style, their videos. By far the band I have seen live more than any other that wasn't opening. Poison would be the most because they opened for a lot of bands I went to see over the years. DD does not disappoint.
This song is incredible and the video is awesome. This song was written for a movie from a book titled THE WILD BOYS by William Burroughs in the early 70's. RUssel Mulcahy, who produced the videos for - "Save a Prayer", "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Rio" was going to make a movie for that book but it never came to fruition. Instead, DD made a video and wanted the images to portray what they felt the movie would have been like. In the book, adolescent humanoids ravage the civilized nations of the Earth. the battle continues underground where the survivors evolve into the Wild Boys. A good book to check out if you have the time. I think the video was effective in accomplishing the overall feel of the book.
During the making of this video Simon almost drowned while on the windmill. The windmill broke down just as it was dipping him into the water and his head was stuck under the water for a moment. Simon has had issues with water over the years. Prior to this he owned a yacht and was involved in his yacht capsizing during a race in England that they had. He and his crew were stuck in an air pocket under the boat for a long time until rescued.
Rio, New Religion, Planet Earth, and Save A Prayer are faves.
I've seen them twice in their hey day. Now we kind of laugh, Duran Duran... But I have to hand it to them, they're still performing and writing music today and of course Rock N Roll hall of fame.
One of my favorite 80s songs!!!
This has been my favorite video since 1984? Nothing I've seen has topped this one.
I LOVE Duran Duran!
