From doing Power Station, it was like, it's the same guys, but it doesn't sound like them. When we were in Duran, the labels and management wanted more Duran stuff so they could sell it.
From Andy Taylor
I don't think you need a record deal to write songs. You don't need any other reason than you want to do it. It's a far cry from why some people do music today. They make it to order, which is pretty horrible.
Melodic songs that people can relate to has always been our thing.
Music is escapism, it's entertainment.
The five of us don't know how to exist in any other way. We are an ambitious bunch, I guess.
The great thing about the Internet is that it allows people to find and consume music.
The thing about Duran... that gives you the ability to bring all that opportunity back into your life.
Those were the days, you know. It's an English thing; as soon as it's gets to 6 pm, you have to go and have a drink. We used to stick to that religiously.
We didn't just want to go out and do that whole greatest hits thing.
We play a long show, and you can't beat yourself up too much over it, as physically you just kill yourself. It was always good fun on the road and it still is.
