Gerardo González V. | 02:48 p.m. | gegonzalez@nacion.com
Duran Duran vocalist, Simon Him Bon, talked today with the readers of nacion.com and affirmed that he is anxious to come to Costa Rica for the Imperial Festival. Although it assured that it has visited other places of Central America but non Costa Rica still, the vocalist said the band have many expectations of their concert in the country in occasion of the Imperial Festival. He talked about the critics that received after the first concert in New Zealand, where a journalist affirmed that he forgot the lyrics of the songs, which described as exaggerated.
In this chat, more than 250 people sent their questions to their ídol, which responded during half an hour. The singer and his group are in the middle of their tour by Asia. The band will appear in Costa Rica the 20 of April in the closing of the festival.
This it is the plaintext of chat:
Will they include songs of 80 and 90? We are very lucky to have many songs of where to choose. I am sure that everybody will listen to some of its favorites. We will also play a selection of subjects of Red Carpet Massacre and some hits.
Would you play something from Arcadia?
We have already played Election Day. Perhaps one day we´ll play another Arcadia song someday.
How they chose the name of the group and what it means? The name was taken from films Barbarella, but, please, how they did not know that!
What do you think of the other groups that will be in the festival? We are very moved to see the other bands that will be there. That is always the best part of a festival, to see the other artists when you are not working.
Which is your favorite song of Red Carpet Massacre? It could not choose a favorite. I never do it because I always change.
Which is its favorite song to play live? That is a difficult question. It changes much. I like much The Chauffeur live.
Why was the press so tough with you in New Zealand and Australia? It was our first show, and yes, we had to work in some things, but he was not as bad as the journalist portrayed it. We felt bad of which some fans have felt hurt reason why he wrote. In addition, the following show was incredible.
If you could collaborate with some artist, with whom it would do it? Mmmm... We finished making a very good collaboration with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. I do not believe that that can be surpassed. Maybe, but it would have to think more about that question.
Have you been to Costa Rica on vacation? I have never been there and I am very anxious to go.
What do you think of Incubus? Do you know their work? I like much Brandon (Boyd, vocalista of Incubus) and I like Incubus.
Do you “wish” to listen to Enrique Iglesias? We know it. He came to one from ours shows in Florida. He is a very amiable guy.
When can we see a new video? We are working in that.
What do you expect from the Costa Rican public? I wait for a lot of people to take off their shirts. …. Girls, please!
What do you think of the Latin women? That is like choosing a favorite again! But all the latin girls I know are charming. That seems to be a politically correct answer?
How long will you delight us with your music in the festival? about 70 minutes, I think, but it could be mistaken.
Have you been to Central America? Yes, but not Costa Rica.
Why did Andy Taylor leave the band? There will always be a special place for Andy in Duran Duran. But so far, we are in different directions, and he felt he had to go. It is the best answer than I can give you so far.
A final message for his fans. In the name of the band, we are very anxious to go and to see all of you in Costa Rica. This it is our first trip to act there live and we have many expectations. We see ourselves soon!
there were other questions that are not there; I asked him about the meaning of "She´s too much", but he only said it was for his daughter Saffron. I try this question because I made others that he didn´t read like; Are you going to release "Reportage" anytime soon, and which song is going to be your next single. No success with those ones. Somebody ask him if they were going to release the songs that they didn´t include in RCM. He said, that maybe, but that you know how they are, so they might do it or not. The Simon we all love, right?
That´s all, I´ll Keep posting
