oh i never said everyone is idiots at all.
i just said how I think some people here cannot see how ever since the reunion each album was always a carefully thought out and planned attempt to PUSH UNITS. Think about 1988 to 2000... big huge name hip hop producers... starting with Big Thing and going into Pop Trash, there was a maturity... a depth... vs. post reunion.
Post reunion bought us Sunrise, Nice, Taste The Summer, Nite Runner, Skin Divers, Girl Panic... frivolous throw aways - I DO like those songs dont get me wrong, but the band was so much MORE than that in the 90s...
Who Do You Think You Are, Out Of my Mind, Ordinary World, Breath After Breath, Lady Xanax, etc...
the songs made you think and wonder... the guitars and drums were tough, real, etc....
Since Astronaut they've always been hiring "in the now" producers - Dallas Austin, Timbaland, etc... infact, they are only using Nile now because of "Get Lucky" ... don't be fooled. They SCRAPPED his work on Astronaut because he wasn't IN AT THE TIME!!!
I just feel with the reunion came a lack of integrity as a band. I know if Pop Trash sold millions, Warren would still be in the band.
But to say I don't belong on this forum is nonsense. Duran Duran are right up there in my top 5 bands still and I still enjoy post reunion work. Beautiful Colors, What Happens Tomorrow, The Valley, AYNIN, Meditterenea, and others are kick ass tracks...
I just sense a lot of GIMMICK since the reunion.
I also feel this place is healthier because of me and ALL YOU AS WELL. I have a different point of view - and so what?
It brings discussion to the table. And if I want to air my frustrations about the band, what better place? The people on the A-Ha forums wont care about my Duran frustrations LOL
However, I never said that you said we were idiots. That was just the feeling we get from what you write. You are, by all means, welcome to your own opinion. That's what makes life fun here. However you need to choose your words more carefully. The tone of your posts is negative and you are speaking down to us like we are all children and/or stupid. We are all equals here and entitled to our own opinion. Start respecting us and talking to us as equals...or all you're gonna get is crap from other members. All you have to do is watch how you write.
