Do not get wrong. If we do not have Reportage this time is not Andy's fault. He is not wasting right now the time in museums or parties.... Yeah I understand that but it was his fault 18 years ago Im hopeful it comes out soon too yet DD are all about art n always have been, so perhaps it’s a working holiday for inspiration sakes who knows 🤷♂️ if the 3 other members aren’t in the studio working on at this exact time, what’s JT to do? Work on it on his own Its likely dd have a plan Besides, I imagine ATs parts are all done on reportage, although I could be wrong Past is past. Right now, Andy'parts are all done. And that is not only something that I know.It is something that Simon told too.

Pics from Gela's instagram. This is how this man makes his parts of Reportage? I try not to say anything here (or anywhere else) that I wouldn’t say to a person face to face. Would you say this to his face? If so, we can’t be friends. 😜

If so, we can’t be friends. 😜 Yes. I would love to call him lazy,useless, liar and many more things face to face. In fact I would love to tell them what I think about their work since 2006. But I have the feeling that fan's opinions are not important to them. Since long time ago fans do not care ... otherwise the things would have been quite different...

Gemy, they don't owe us fans anything. They all have their lives to live..every thing right now whatever they release is icing on the cake. I'm confident Reportage coming out by end of this year 2024..be patient....we don't know all the specifics as Andy is no longer part of the band.. he's gone silent once again on social media.. We can only pray and hope he can at least play 1 gig live with them in Europe...I would rather see Andy play Live gigs at this point if he can..

Maybe his has gone silent as a part of a pact with them... 🫢.... think about it. 😉 I can't show pictures here...😉...but Andy is fine.

The completion of Reportage lies firmly on the shoulders of one man - Mr Le Bon. Like all other DD albums, it’s the melodies, words and harmonies that always need completing. I’ve said this numerous times on the Reportage thread. Has there ever been confirmation that all the words and melodies are completed? If so I’ve never read it. Not much in melodies or harmonies left based on this ..he was literally singing several verses of Transcendtal Metal on Whooosh a few years ago... As part of their deal with new record label BMG, Duran Duran hope to release Reportage. Rhodes told Classic Pop magazine in 2021: "It's in pretty decent shape overall, we'd need three weeks to finish it... I'd no objection if Andy [Taylor] wanted to do some tweaks. Agreed Andre. Any of Nick's timescale comments I take with a pinch of salt. It sounds like three weeks studio time, but thats on condition the tracks are completed. We've heard Simon praise Transecendental Mental and 48 Hours Later a few times but what about all the other tracks? Traumatized and Nobody were both working titles. That indicates the words aren't completed. Simon even claims Traumatized was lyrically weak so that would suggest it needs reworked. The band submitted a rough mix to the label. How rough? Were they all fully completed? 15 tracks are registered with ASCAP and confirmed by John. I think the band have talked about 6 songs in descriptive terms but we don't know anything bar the name of the others, some of which might be working titles. I'd assume we won't see all 15 tracks at least initially. Maybe they will over a deluxe release later. It's common for them to keep the last minute completed tracks for the deluxe. I'm just hoping that it doesn't fall behind. They've ended up with a busy live summer schedule ahead and i've a nagging feeling they have plans for a single this summer to co-incide. Whether its the other Nile track Nick mentioned or the lost 80s single Roger discussed, I just wonder if Reportage is next year.

Well I’m a DD fan thru n thru so if DD say it was unworkable that’s a statement from 4 outta 5 I ain’t just a JT fan nor SLB fan nor a RT nor NR enthusiast I believe in the greater group coz IMO that’ for the music’s sake & you may believe otherwise yet I have read Andy’s book and all his many excuses, like one by one, one after the other are all there and evident in his 2nd to last chapter of his book. you’re complaining about JT fulfilling his art desire (something that DD are all about) yet it’s ok for AT to be drinking two bottles of red per night while trying to create reportage in the first instance and that’s a positive productive working environment while respectful to others environment? 🤪 & that’s how I believe it to be, by hearing all this straight from DDs mouth and ATs too
