What does Duran Duran #14 Sound Like?! April 30th, 2013 Following the massive success of All You Need Is Now, Duran Duran returned to the studio last month to record their 14th studio album, an achievement only very few bands accomplish in their career. Mark Ronson approached All You Need Is Now as the "imaginary follow up to Rio that never was." I would like to ask the band how are they approaching their latest work and what sort of surprises have they in store for the new album? From Graham. Hello Graham, If we told you now, then there really wouldn't be any surprises, would there? The truth is, we never really know what we're doing when we go in to the studio for the first time to create something new. It is actually quite an exciting process, watching the musical direction take shape. It tends to go through several different stages of metamorphosis before we make a cohesive decision which colours the whole project. So far, it is developing to be quite different from the last album, but still likely to move you closer to the dance floor. The Band. www.duranduran.com/wordpress/new-site-ask-katy/(edited)

Uh-oh. Another hip hop threat.

It had better not be a Roger club type album, that would suck.

I think it's going to be a cross between that and RCM.

If it sounds ANYTHING like RCM, I won't be buying it.

No one else will, either.
Maybe that's why John's tied up in the studio, maybe he's standing guard against another RCM! ;D

I think all that crappy food he's eating on whatever diet he's been on probably has loosened a few of those screws in his head. That would explain the shitty clothes he's been wearing, and that hairstyle....

When you snort up half of Peru it catches up to you at some point. All the shit he did, even though he quit and went to a much healthier lifestyle, it all still added up and did its damage. I bet his liver looks like used cat food. (Andy's, Simon's, and Nick's too.)
I think he might be having trouble with aging in general, too. It's hard, even with plastic surgery, to look really youthful after 50. He might be trying too hard to look young, out of fear of his fans' reactions to a mature, grey look.

That's something I never understood, why are people so enamored with looking young? Get over it, act and look your age. That's what's wrong with Madonna, she tries to act like a 20 year old when everyone knows she isn't.

I can understand John wanting to do it, he likely feels a sort of obligation since he was always the Cute One that the girls drooled over. They chased after Simon, too, yes, but he wasn't the babyface type, Simon can get away with aging gracefully. It must be tough being beautiful...

You have to wonder how much influence his wife is about this shit, since she's in the fashion industry (or was) too.

She's older than I am, and the fact is that once you hit a certain age, too much plastic surgery looks like too much plastic surgery. Best to just look like 50-year-olds and be happy about it.
Nice-looking 50-year-olds, of course.

BTW, over at Mark's there are a couple of sheep bleating about how great RCM is and how it was undeservedly bashed. It looks like they think the next album will be a repeat.
I'm readying the war room in case the dire prediction comes true.

Idiots.... those are the same people that think if DD made a whole album with clicks and creaks, they'd consider it avaunt guard and hail it a success.
Yeah, after a while, people who do too much plastic surgery start looking like Joan Rivers, haggard and fake.

I'd like to have some plastic surgery, tighten up the jawline and restore the boobs to their past glory, but that's about it. Oh yeah, those moos think that if they spew enough pseudo-intellectual comments about DD everyone will fall in line, like lambs to the slaughter. You'd think that after so many decades they'd realize everyone ignores them. ;D
