New Wave Outpost Forum

Thanks LB

You are kinda pumped for RCM aren't you?.. I am not sure why I get that feeling.. just a hunch [;)]

I personally find it hard to get excited about anything Justin Timberfake is involved in [}:)]


I hope at least some of the tracks remain distinctly DD

TM

Im always pumped with every DD releases[:D]

I remember when Wildboys first came out in '85, i was screaming my head off to my fiends, "Its out! Its OUT!! Someone pls kill me now & i'd die happy!!!"

LOL

A rough review on RCM i got from somewhere...(out there)[:D]

"Quite good...quite Duran...Simon in fine voice...tons of Nick...for all it's touches of modernity, the album seems more European and late 80's than I imagined it would be (particularly the latter half). Great grooves...great melodies...loadsa clumsy lyrics (heh. sorry Si, I still love ya)...a saxaphone solo...
Mega proud of them. The boys done a fine job!

"Tricked Out" would make a a pretty cool intro tape/first song
"Dirty Great Monster" More a slow-burning, dramatic rock thing. Sounds like a cross between a Bluetones album track and a cockney Rebel tune.

Tempted = dance
Tricked Out = new wavey instrumental thingie
Zoom In = dance
She's Too Much = kind of a fast ballad, I guess. Has a great little off-beat disco high-hat running throughout the whole thing
Dirty Great Monster = drama...slow-burning rock...not guitar-heavy though
Last Man Standing = kinda sounds late 80's-ish to me...not a dance toon at all

No ONE instrument is really jumping out at me. It's more of a wash of sounds, with little melodies being played all over the place. An ensemble feel. Like a less hysterical sounding 7ATRT."

Duran Duran’s ‘RED CARPET MASSACRE’ Set to Take Broadway by Storm

Band make history with two week Broadway run
at New York’s Barrymore Theatre on 47th Street
November 1 – 12, 2007

In an unprecedented move, British superstars, Duran Duran, have today confirmed that they will play nine shows on Broadway over a two week period in celebration of the launch of their upcoming album, ‘RED CARPET MASSACRE’, which will be released November 13 on Epic Records.

Marking the first time that any band has undertaken such an extended run on a Big Apple stage, Duran Duran are developing a unique show that will see them performing not only their innumerable hits from the past 29 years but also the whole of their new record and a special electro set that promises to delight their loyal army of fans.

Performing for over two hours a night on November 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12 at the Barrymore Theatre on 47th Street and Broadway, band members Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor will take audiences in this historic thousand-capacity venue on a musical journey, presenting their new record in its entirety, as well as classics such as ‘Rio’, ‘Save A Prayer’, Hungry Like The Wolf’ and ‘Ordinary World’, with magnificent production values and a completely new stage show. These concerts will be the band’s first dates in support of their exciting new release, which they have worked on over the past year with Justin Timberlake and top producers Timbaland and Nate ‘Danja’ Hills.
Duran Duran’s ‘RED CARPET MASSACRE’ marks an all time creative high in the band’s illustrious career. As Nylon Magazine described it in their most recent issue “it’s like a stroke of lightning captured on record… it’s a triumph, a marvel, and a hell of a lot of fun. Duran Duran have got their sexy back.”
Remarking on their upcoming New York shows, singer Simon LeBon said “We have made an album that we are all really proud of and we wanted to present it in a very unique way. Staging a run on Broadway is something that we’ve often talked about over the years – but the time has never seemed right until now. We started work on ‘RED CARPET MASSACRE’ in New York – in September of last year – so it feels fitting to be launching it here – just down the road from the studio where we did those first sessions with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. “
Bassist John Taylor added: “We agreed we would try to open on Broadway while we were still making the record and have been planning how we’re going to stage it for the past few months. Nick and I have been particularly engaged in this and are really excited about the production. Broadway just feels like the perfect place to launch this album.”
“The theatre we have found is really beautiful inside, which in itself will make this special,” added keyboard player Nick Rhodes. “I don’t believe there is another artist out there who has done a two week run on Broadway – and knowing that our fans travel to see our shows from all over the world we wanted to start out with something really spectacular.”
Rehearsals for these concerts will start in London at the beginning of October, and as drummer Roger Taylor noted: “We are rehearsing for the whole of October because we are adding so much in the way of new material to the set. I can’t wait to play the new songs live.”

I know most folks here(inc.myself) didn't like the shitty first single they have, I will still pick it up though,as I will be curious as to what the rest of the cd sounds like? Plus, the "digipak" looks to be very very cool.

I understand everyone's frustrations with the whole Timberlake/Timbaland collaboration, but still, looking beyond that. It is DD afterall, and they never xease to amaze us all. I remember not liking the first track(astronaut) off their last cd either, and being very very pleased with the rest of it. IMHO, I think the DD boys realized they have to try something new, or have to do soething to sell more cd's as manyf ans(unlike us), have abndoned MANY groups from our favorite decade of music? Nothing wrong with that gang, and you gotta hand it to them, they're still making music. I know...I know..."don't release shit then?", but still, they have to try to remain relevant in an industry that doesnt take too kindly to bands like them unless they're selling 10 million right out of the gates.

Lets hear the entire album, and support them, before we start castration[:D]. Keep in mind gang, this isn't the '80s anymore(although I wish it were at times), and they're still making records. Even if they're shit, I'll still buy them.

Bottom Line: I still love DD and always will.

Like i said, I will still pick it up
