Its not a flop to me or real die hard duran duran fans. And it would be nice to see Skin Divers get a real release. And the guys havent said anything bad about Andy ... although if you have evidence ... I would like to see it. ... And there is guitar on RCM ... just not Andy's. ~ "Wolf" You make these absolute statements that are kinda dumb. So the album isn't a flop to "real" die hard fans? You should ask the band if they're happy with the sales. It's 8 months later and Sony has released one single from it. Duran are playing in small venues again. But it's not a flop. I guess if Pop Trash sold a massive 40,000 run, then RCM is HUGE. What's so difficult about just calling it what it is? Why do you consider calling it a flop being "anti" Duran? They could have made the most critically acclaimed album of the year and it still be a flop. "The guys haven't said anything bad about Andy". You're factually incorrect. You apparently missed out on some streaming interviews back around the release of RCM (you must've been busy trying to catch the Falling Down video the time it aired before it was banned). Almost every one of your posts contains factually wrong statements. Yesterday you were trying to say that the statement released by the band on their own website regarding Andy no longer being in Duran wasn't from Duran, but rather from their representatives......as if that means it's not a statement approved by the band. A few days ago you were trying to "correct" Charley in another thread by comparing the process of getting a theme song in Bond movie to AVTAK - 23 years ago and it took 4 or 5 posts for you to "get it". I'm not sure you ever did get it....it seemed over your head. You kept going back to your irrelivant point and couldn't seem to get out of the loop. Sure - "there's guitar" on RCM.......buried in a wash of synths and bad machine generated sounds/beats. Nick would agree with you.....according to him, Duran don't need a guitarist. I seem to remember in the 90s that he said they didn't need a drummer (kinda true on RCM.....can barely hear Roger on a number of songs). In the late 90s they didn't need a bass player. If you want to play fast and loose with reality - that's cool but it doesn't change anything. FINE ITS A FLOP! ... Duran Duran sucks at making albums anyone cares about anymore. They havent had a hit in 15 years. blah blah blah ... I dont care! ... I like the Pop Trash and RCM albums ... heck I even like Liberty. ... I started listening to Duran Duran almost 10 years ago when i was 16 years old when they were just Nick, Simon, and Warren. I was making the point that AVTAK was specifically made for the movie. What I thought Charley was explaining is that people submit random songs that prob. have nothing to do with the movie and werent written for the movie. I understand they submit songs. I'm not stupid. And Andy Taylor being back in Duran Duran doesnt make them better. He isnt some rock god. ... Just look at the writing to "Take It Easy" ... I'm a pigeon and baby you're the stool? ... I laugh at it everytime. ... The best thing he did was prob. work with Belinda Carlise 20 years ago. DURAN DURAN IS A SYNTH BAND!!!! ... They create songs that make people dance ... like RCM! ... Plus, Andy's guitars sometimes seemed under everyone else's parts back in the 80's ... John bass was always and Nicks keys were always more prominent. ... And the songs were great! By the way ... its the calling me dumb part that pissed me off! ... Dont even think about starting something here. Its not worth it ... And theres a lot of people popping out on here that are pissing me off 'cuz they dont seem to love Duran Duran as much as I do. They want to say negative things about them. Duran Duran are the best band in the world! ;D

And theres a lot of people popping out on here that are pissing me off 'cuz they dont seem to love Duran Duran as much as I do. They want to say negative things about them. Okay, so we don't love DD as much as you do, bfd. Just because you're a fan of something doesn't mean you have to be all sunshine-and-bunny rabbits about them all the time. There are about 20 things out there that I'm a fan of, and believe me, I can give you plenty critical to say about each and every one of them. (Except maybe Anthony Bourdain,-he totally rocks ) It's absolutely okay to voice your frustrations if someone you're a fan of chooses a direction you don't like and gets the results you expected. And if you want to keep the rose-colored glasses on, that's okay too. It's just music, after all, there are more important things in life to worry about. And if this is something you can get your panties in a bunch over, consider yourself lucky. You must have it pretty good right now.

<------------- You want sunshine and bunny rabbits??
;D
Policia, when you say 'according to him', do you mean the apology *is* a lie? Either Andy had a work visa (in which case it should be easy for DD to refute this and we'll be seeing a correction from them very soon) or he didn't (and then I think it'd be only natural to wonder *why* the management didn't get one for him).

The band didn't kick Andy out, they just dissolved the partnership! BTW, you're quite funny Dani! ;D
