I wasn't all that crazy about all those flourescent effects...

Yeah, too much use of black light!

By the way, does any think that "Hungry Like the Wolf" will be recycled as a commercial jingle for a fast food hamburger place?

[DLibrasnow]

Sounds perfect...

Actually Burger King wanted to make the "Hungry Like The Wolf" burger back in 1982-1983. The guitarist ANDY TAYLOR (who thankfully returned in late 2000 to kick out the other loser who stepped in) was vehemently opposed to the idea at the time, so it never went.

I understand that up until the early 90's BK were still bothering the band to let them use the song.

So, I don't think that this will ever happen...

[DLibrasnow]

Shame....Somehow though I don't think the Band members need the cash!

Since the band has a big part in Bond history (they are still being sought to do the next theme song) - this might interest some of you:

Cool that there is a date right here in DC!!

[goldengun]

I just bought tickets for the Toronto show on NOV 14. I can't wait till Duran play AVTAK - hopefully they will put up Roger Moore's picture on the backdropwhen playing it...oops...that might mean the band would have to pay someone....

[Matt O'S oo4]

I always did like Duran Duran.

Who has recorded more than once for a Bond Film?

004

[Genrewriter]

Just Shirley Bassey, I think.

[Matt O'S oo4]

That's right. So it hasn't happened for quite some time.

004

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

So in other words it's high time they brought Duran Duran back....

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

yes I agree..

when we have yet another VH1 Specials "I Love the 80's strikes back"..which are awesome

you gota bring back Duran Duran!

[BONDFINESSE 007]

i am thinking they would have done a great job singing the title song for die another day, how much better it would have sounded if they had done it instead of madonna

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

wow great idea!! Plus I agree Duran Duran would have done a better version

plus it would have been soooo cool if they did do a new 007 theme because it would be old school

just like when shirley doing moonraker.

Cubby's Kids should have brought back Duran Duran

[BONDFINESSE 007]

u hear that cubbys kids? bring back duran duran, its past time for them to come back

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

no I wish they would

That is why Pierce's era is so boring they dont do the little things!

Bring back Duran Duran.. bring back paul mc cartney!!!

Show some love for the past! NOT just Shirley Bassey?

There is allot more to 007 then always taking from the 1960's vibe

[DLibrasnow]

The late 1970s/early 1980s, that was my favorite time to be a 007 fan!

[Dr. Tynan]

Have you heard of a duran song called "The Chauffer"

[Dr. Tynan]

I need to ask who is that woman in my sig. I like the look of her.

Yeah I have heard of the Chauffer. I always thought that the song was fitting for AVTAK - since Tibit was a chuaffer and there were chauffer's all round the movie.

Duran's song would have been good in the scene Tidbit gets sliced...

TW Dr. Tynan - I like the live version of The Chauffer from Duran's album - ARENA.

[Dr. Tynan]

I love "The Chauffer." the first one

[DLibrasnow]

John Taylor was the guest on one of the DC radio stations this morning and the station revealed that all the tickets to Duran Durans concert here in the nations capital are sold out...

Yeah I agree.. and not just for movies too! That was a time before everyone became insane and started worrying waaay to much about Kids, For no reason stop your culture and start remembering the 1950's & Have Lawyers ruin everything with too many stupid lawsuits and rules.


Common Sense ruled the USA before 1985



NOW everyone is looking to blame everyone else for all their mistakes/problems

[DLibrasnow]

Okay, not really sure where that came from.....

Gotta remember that Billy Joel song "We didn't start the fire."

[BONDFINESSE 007]

denise richards is beautiful

[BONDFINESSE 007]

[Genrewriter]

You like Denise Richards, finesse? I'm shocked!
