I for one am excited! The BBAs sound big. They are big. Let’s give the chaps a bit of credit. The proof will be in listening Let’s be a hair upbeat at least until we’ve heard it! Any new DD is a good thing, no?

It's gotta premiere somewhere!
If it were on Whoosh, then folk would moan that only Americans can listen. If it were on UK's Radio 2 on Duran 40, then only Brits can listen live - and at a time when we are all blazing. If it is at the Billboard Awards, then only the Americans can watch, etc.
It's better than nothing, and it's better than no media broadcaster taking any interest.
We can't expect broadcasts to be interrupted on every channel to debut it like the Queen has snuffed it.

Any new DD is a good thing, no? I don't know how big they are (I've never watched them) but ratings for awards shows have been declining sharply year over year. I doubt the audience will be very big but it is definitely better than nothing!

Yes I can understand what you’re saying but surely there’s another way where we can all hear it at same time?? Don’t remember it being like this for other singles when they were released.

What's wrong with premiering it on YT?

On a slight tangent, no more Dom, or has he still contributed to the album? Or does GC play on all of it?

If the press photos of the new vid are anything to go by, Dom is no longer part of the DD lineup. No wonder he's been sidelined. A shame they have to rent a new lead guitar player who is not a full member, but I can think of many worse choices. DD covered Song 2 in their sets a few times, so maybe they are getting back to the hard rock music?

There’s no way Coxon will be touring with Duran beyond a guest appearance here or there. He’s a diverse artist with a solo career in addition to Blur. Dom updates his Instagram and his bio still says lead guitarist with Duran Duran.

Dom updates his Instagram and his bio still says lead guitarist with Duran Duran. But I bet he will be at some UK festivals and come out to play current single like Nile did with PO... I’m willing to bet Dom will be there.. Coxon will be a special guest...
