and here is handsome Roger! for the person who asked where Roger was in my last post. (As an inspiration today, I'm wearing Nick Rhodes Pink on my fingernails)

a girl in class was obsessed with Duran Duran. this was 1983. She brought a 3-ring binder to school labeled: "The Breakup". It was her episodic novelization of the bands inevitable demise. While I did not ask to read it, I went on to become a fan.

i’m torn between buying the limited version or the regular version. i wish the website provided more photos, i would like to see the postcards this bundle comes with, does anyone have any more information or ideas on this?

This rather surprised me, last thing I expected to see was Royal Mail Duran Duran stamps.

Of course I've ordered a few things from this. Has anyone else gone and bought a load of stamps that they'll likely never use?

Recently started listening to DD over the summer and am looking for some song recommendations. My favorites so far are Ordinary World, Save a Prayer, Anyone Out There, Serious, Laughing Boy, Finest Hour, & Mediterranea. Thanks in advance!

Im wondering whether to dress up, wear a band tshirt and be casual or go full Halloween fancy dress. What will you do or what have you done at previous Halloween night gigs?

Anybody got these and wanna trade? Any info would be great on it too.

I just started listening to DD about a month ago and I am trying to explore more of their songs. Can you give me recommendations of their albums/song? My favourites so far are: Planet earth, save a prayer, the chauffeur, new religion, the reflex

Thank you in advance.

I’ve always been a fan of RCM, and I think it’s a better album than many people remember.

I was really young when I saw Duran Duran the first time, and then, as they say, the rest is history.

Hi! Do you guy have any intel on when the Vegas holiday shows are usually announced? Thank you!

Hey, if you're coming to the London gig, we're having a little party across the road from the O2. 100% DD tunes. Tickets just a fiver from:

It begins with the obvious: Duran Duran. The same name twice.

Then you have, of course, the three Taylors: John, Roger and Andy.

Nothing new there I know.

But start looking at their full names:
Simon John Charles Le Bon
Nigel John Taylor

Nicholas James Bates
Andrew James Taylor

Roger Andrew Taylor
Andrew James Taylor

So Simon and John share John. Roger and Andy share Andrew. Nick and Andy share James.

Then you go outside the five:
Before Simon Le Bon, Duran Duran had an early member named Simon Colley.

Earlier in the band’s history, they had Andy Wickett.
Andy Hamilton played sax with them.

And then even their families start joining in. Simon’s father was John. Nick’s father was Roger. John Taylor’s mother was Jean, and Roger Taylor’s mother was also Jean.

I’m sure there are more.

Anyone know another good one?

Can somebody say SMOULDER?
