Apologies. It's good stuff but not mind blowing, i'm sure dom could play that. His problem has always been his tinny guitar

No worries! It was just mentioned in the front page and press releases which songs Frusciante played on, that's all.

Who knew JT was this good on guitar? I mean, he's not a genius, but, if that's him playing, dude is getting the job done.

Well, if he's been playing even semi-consistently over the past 30+ years, it's pretty hard to imagine that he'd be pretty incompetent in that area after all this time, you know? Same goes for Simon... outside of complex lead lines or solos, it wouldn't be out of the realm for them to both contribute rhythm guitar parts by this point in their musical careers, imo.

I think the lack of Dom Brown's involvement explains the simplicity of the songwriting. Many of the songs on Paper Gods are quite catchy but musically they are much simpler than the previous record. Personally I really liked some of the tracks (in particular What Are The Chances and Butterfly Girl) but got tired of them after only week because the song structure is too simple. I think this band needs a person like Warren or Dom or Ronson who understands music theory to help them bump their writing to the next level. Dom? Really??? Duran Duran did fine without all of them listed in your post. And most of the times simplicity is best. Duran Duran clearly had a different agenda with this album (see the vids on youtuble about the production of paper gods) So I really don't think this does not explain anything else BUT their agenda. There's no real argument why any of their involvement with the band made tracks more or less complex with the song writing. And besides, the best songs on there are not simple at all, not by far.

"He who does not learn from history, is condemned to repeat it." It's a shame Dom Brown wasn't more involved, they've basically morphed back to a 4-piece. And whenever Duran lost a member, the quality went down. And each member is so good at what they do - AYNIN was John's best bass playing in years, I wish he would just focus on that. Brown was fantastic on AYNIN, and so far PG seems like a step down.
