While he's had massive fame he has remained very down to earth, just a normal guy without a big ego. (I think that's what you meant?) Yeah! Perfect conclusion.Nowadays Axl behave better than past but he has still a little mega rock star lifestyle, person intangible as Madonna, Michel Jackson Talking about music. The power of DD songs isnt guittar, bass and keyboards shine some songs Sax too. Well, Do you can imagine how spetacular would be if Slash had did solo on"View to Kill", "Hungry like the wolf," and other songs ??? I guess in early they could suffer prejudice, but even in the beginning with beautiful faces as boy band´s members, the DD lyrics are mature. They always showed great shows ...always excellent musicians As GNR fan and Axl Lover I confession I feel envy cause I´d like Axl did half what DD made This video Simon sing as alternative rock group Edited May 11, 2017 by Lucky girl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would be great but as you say, they aren't really a guitar band overall, although they did go in a more rock direction in the 90's on The Wedding Album, this song rocks for instance and is funky as hell! Love the chorus in it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I absolutely love this band. I started a thread on them in the past so this isn't the first thread on them here. Saw them twice last year and they are one of the best live bands I've ever seen. I admittedly didn't care for Paper Gods as much as All You Need Is Now but it's still a good effort from the band and proves they haven't lost the creative edge. Live they are as good as ever. My favorite album is probably Seven and the Ragged Tiger followed by Rio. Outside of TMI, Ordinary World, and Come Undone I find that I don't dig The Wedding Album as much as most fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may have been my favorite tour and I've been going since 1987. You can feel a genuine connection between the band and the audience. The die hard fans know all the nuisances of certain songs and the band seems to feed off of that. At this point, the fans have their own favorite songs that are connected to certain memories in their life and so every song gets a pretty strong reaction. Plus, the songs just hold up against time, unlike say, Aha or Thompson Twins. To me, all these things put them in the music legend category. The one thing that does make me laugh is the comments on Facebook about their setlist. Sound familiar to another band? Lol. In the 2003 shows they did Friends of Mine, Nightboat, Beautiful Colours and a few other older songs, which was really nice. This is "Friends of Mine" from that year at 4:10 Simon says the line "My God, you're getting old" and when I saw them he really hammed it up and looked out at the audience and it was a cool little moment, especially since it was the opening song 14 hours ago, bucketfoot said: Very true, Election Day is just an amazing tune!

It still gets played quite often on various radio stations over here in the UK, one of those songs that when you hear it, sticks in your head all day. 44 minutes ago, Fansince88 said: That's Paula Yates, right?

Also, Pop/Disco artists like The Bee Gees and ABBA have been inducted previously, as well as plenty of others you wouldn't call Rock and Roll. Depeche Mode were nominated in the long list for this years ceremony but failed to be inducted, so I think it could be a while before Duran Duran are. Maybe one day?

Andy's wrote his autobiography a few years ago (as did John Taylor) and it seems like there is still a lot of bitterness - especially between him and Nick. Although he says it happened differently, the band claims he just never showed up to start work on Red Carpet Massacre. In a way he could be the Izzy in DD - never thought of it that way (meaning that he's probably unlikely to rejoin the band, not that Izzy didn't show up for a recording). 7 hours ago, marlingrl03 said: In a way yes...sure wish I could have seen Andy in concert. I got to see the Power Station. I was young - maybe 12 or 13 - and my wonderful Mom surprised me with tickets during a really really rough school year. I cannot even begin to explain how deafening it was. You know those videos of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan and the girls screaming? That was a church service compared to Power Station. My ears rang for a week from the screaming. And it was fucking great! I did get to see the reunion in 2003 and seeing the original five together was a bucket list moment. I felt like I really truly saw the band from my youth and I can understand why it's so important to so many of GNR fans to have Izzy and Steven back for a tour. And this song was like Duran made their own mix tape. Edited May 12, 2017 by Fansince88 Too early to work technology properly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy was always the 'Rock' one in the band and it wasn't really surprising that he left to do his own thing, he did some good solo stuff as well and I think the epicness of his hair alone in these videos show where he was at during that moment of his life. He also produced some of the best British rock albums of the late 80's/early 90's with bands such as Thunder and The Almighty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's look is so "I'm going to move to LA and be a rock star" , it makes me laugh hysterically to see. Sadly, the bands he produced never really made it in the US. I know he also worked with Rod Stewart on the Out of Order album, but I'm not sure if that is his guitar playing on Forever Young or if he was only a producer for it.

Steve Jones' look from around that time is brilliant as well! They both just suddenly became hair metallers! In the 2nd vid he could literally be Bon Jovi and in the 3rd... well... he's got a 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' thing going on. He's a North East of England lad as well, much like myself, which for some reason makes it even more hilarious that he went full on L.A. rocker (saying that, if I'd been a few years older, I would probably have been sporting a similarly ridiculous barnet, such was my love of hair metal in those days) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
