So who just watched the DURAN DURAN concert on sky?

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Oh goodness, Simon's all sweaty and beardy, John looks like a living skull with bad high lights, Nick and Roger look exactly the same

It's been 30 years since their posters adorned my bedroom walls and I taped the top 40 on a Sunday evening but I STILL remember every word of every song they wrote I even know how many beats to pause between words

Weirdly my Dh looks like Simon, complete with beard. If you'd told my 13 year old self that one day I'd marry a Simon look a like I'd have laughed and told you not to be ridiculous I'd be married to John

Oh the music and production was amazing Sparkling, completely different thing from the lyrics , the only way the got away with them....well! that and the fact it was the 80's!

you mean he plays the guitar too?

And they all played their own instruments and wrote their own songs . Now we have groups like 1D who do neither.

who'd be young now, eh sb

I sound ancient don't I ssd. I bet if I was 15 now I would be all over 1D and probably Harry Hairstyles. Oh and Dougie from McBusted.

Sleep-I would've fainted! I'm so jealous! I've danced with Brian Ferry in my yoof Burt would swap that for your experience

Sparkling-ds was saying the same about how talented JT 'shame he doesn't play anything decent mum '

can you imagine it!!

there must be some talent out there for the young'uns these days but I'm buggered if I can see it

I hope you put him straight Dame I have the Rio CD in the car. The boys are mortified.

It's either Rio or Ellie Goulding.

Brian Ferry, David Sylvian, JT...they dont make them like that these days

Did you watch the classic albums doc sparkling? Bob Geldof said the same, he was very complimentary about them and said they are a rock band with synthesisers.

I've only just come across this! I completely missed this last night so I've done a search and it's repeated on Sky Arts 1 on Thursday at 6.00, just in case anyone else missed it (or wants a second perv-fest).

Roger Taylor here all the way - he'd still get it

Oooh and Working For The Skin Trade is on Sky Arts 1 on Wednesday at 10.00am. I love that one.

Is it this Dame? I missed it on the TV but it seems to be in about 6 bits on You Tube?

ssd shameless plug for young talent as there's a connection for DH but watch out for a young group of very lovely and incredibly talented young men called Flyte . We have our fingers crossed they will be well known soon but so much luck involved....

Will do Sleep. We heard it here first.

Dame it was quite surreal, even more so with DH there! Fainting would definitely have been inappropriate , I don't think I was especially coherent cool though! They were all really nice and seemed to be loving the fact that they were still getting to do their stuff with an appreciative crowd!

Tell us more about BF...the man who stole his own adult son's girlfriend! What was he like?

I need to go to bed but I am transfixed by Nick Rhodes talking about not loving Sri Lanka.

I found my old WHSmiths maths set at my mum's tonight including an extremely pointy compass. From my 1st year of secondary school so aged 11/12ish so t'was 1981/2 ) DS's new compass in his new maths set (not WHSmiths btw) is nowhere near as pointy!! Anywhoo when we finally managed to decipher what was scratched into the lid (most probably with said pointy compass) there were the names Duran Duran (DS said what's 'Duran'? pronouncing it completely wrong!) John Taylor and Simon Le Bon. Also was 'Me 4 Gary'????? I can only assume that was Gary Kemp. Also had 'Ant Music' Scratched into it too. Fickle creature me!! I loved how beautiful they were then. Not so much now! A little like me too

Leonard why did your Mum keep your old (v dangerous) maths set?

We had to cover all of our exercise books. The centre poster from Smash Hits was the perfect size. I definitely had this one on one of my books.

I'm watching Videos that shaped the 80's now-blimey Girls on Film is shocking, I'd forgotten how many nipples were on show

Sleep- I was young and managed to blag my way onto a celeb party,I still can't believe I managed it tbh. Brian Ferry was great but John Taylor would've been AMAZING

Why on EARTH did we gave to cover our books? kids don't need to now....

Have not gave-bloody phone

I never understood why the girl in The Chauffeur video had to be topless-even as a teen.
The Girls on Film video is frankly unnecessary.

How about a JT montage to Hold Back the Rain to brighten our Sunday?

Oooooooo.... thank you sparkling

I was never allowed to watch the vid for The Chauffeur...too young, I was so !
