Blog EntryDuran Duran in Concert!Oct 31, '07 6:51 AM
for everyone

Well it's gonnabe a short blog since I'm getting ready for work, but the DD concert was INTERESTING. The 1st hour was their new cd Red Carpet Massacre which isn't out til Nov 13th. so, nobody in the crowd had heard it yet - maybe 1 or 2 songs that were on DD's website. Plus, the style of music they're attempting now is collaborated with Justin Timberlake and Timbvaland - I think it's too young and too hip-hop infulenced for them. At one point Simon actually BEAT-BOXED - huh??

OK not the greatest choice - good thing Andy Taylor was outta there.

After an intermission though, the original 4 came out on stage on this electrnic synth/drum contraption and played some older songs all electrified and funked up - some you almost didn't know what the song was til they began singing,

Good times! MIssin' Andy big time, and for that purpose, a t-shirt was not bought.

I just dont understand why these groups think they need to make changes in the music they create...like Bon Jovi going country! Hello!! OK listening to Bon Jovi since Never Say Goodbye was our class graduation song..I would never have phathomed them going country! Him going country..WHATEVER! Dont get me wrong..the 2 songs Ive heard so far are actually pretty good...but WOW!!! Where did that come from?

Yeah, I don't like the new stuff one bit. It sucks ass. LOVE the last album!! Astronaut was GREAT!!! And guess what ... ANDY was there. He really does add something that they need and they did NOT need Justin. Nope ... that shit sucks ass. Sorry.
So glad we got to go! Good Times! (Le Freak?) :D :D

That's a shame that they didn't come out and give the crowd what they wanted. I was so glad when I went to the Pet Shop Boys earlier this year they did their greatest hits in the style that they were done originally. At least you got to go for free!

too bad why they have to change their new wave sound to R&B
