Better late than never .... ;D www.pbpulse.com/music/2011/10/11/five-reasons-to-see-duran-duran-at-hard-rock-live-in-hollywood/It’s tempting to list the top five reasons to see Duran Duran live tonight at the Hard Rock as Simon LeBon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Andy Taylor — the original line-up of Birmingham, England’s own New Wave tastemakers. But since original guitarist Andy is no longer with the band, and since that’s sort of cheating, here are five more: 1) Because, with all due respect to Little Richard, they are among the originators — not of rock ‘n’ roll, but of that specific synth-heavy, hook-laden, fashion-conscious, video-ready sound and look that pop has never stopped registering. 2) Because it’s nice to see a classic band with most of its original members, who sound pretty much the same, and not like a very polished tribute band. 3) Because, unlike a lot of ’80s bands, you can’t just call Duran Duran “that band that sang that one song,” because there are so, so many still in rotation on retro radio — Hungry Like The Wolf, Ordinary World, Is There Something I Should Know, Rio, The Reflex, A View To A Kill….I won’t go on. But I could. 4) Because Nick Rhodes’ makeup is still more perfect than a horde of MAC and Sephora professionals could ever approximate. 5) Because it’s always fun to party like it’s 1984.
