1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Jumps with Joins and Amanda Well.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: Our next guest is part of the award winning group

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: of Our Eighties Dreams, internationally acclaimed, multi platinum pop legends

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: Duran Duran. They've recently released their eighteen, their fifteenth studio album,

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: eighteenth that'll be next year surely. It's called Future Pass

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: and here to tell us more from Duran Duran.

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 3: Mick Rhoades, Hello, Hello, Nick, Well, Hello, there I'm doing

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 3: and we're just loving. We're just loving the new album.

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: I just love Invisible.

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: It's such a great stung.

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: It's classic Duran DuRane but modern Duran duratte.

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: You know, I guess the remit for Duran Duran right

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: from the very to be contemporary. And it's easy when

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: you're young teenagers coming up with ideas, but probably a

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: little trick. You're trying to keep the balance between contemporary

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: and keep your roots in what you really believe in.

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: And I guess that's what we always try to do.

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you like it.

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: And when you all come together again when you're doing

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: an album, how does it work do you? Because you've

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: all you've all got different influences. Now as you say,

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: you're not still in that same little bubble when you

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: were so much younger. How do you go about collaborating

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: with each other?

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: Well, bizarrely, the bubble isn't that different in that we

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: all just get into a room, we plug in the instruments,

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: we start playing and arguing with each other and see

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: what happens.

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: What's the arguments you would have.

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: Often about the shoes simon. Aside from that, they're mostly musical. Really,

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: it's about whether we want to, you know, take a

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: chorus in a certain direction, or whether it's a minor

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: chord or a major chord, or whether the melody's fitting

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: right or the lyrics are right. It can get pretty

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: pretty tense in there at times, but everybody bod he

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: sort of realizes that that's just what we do, and

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: that's part of the process, and you have to leave

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: all that behind when you when you leave the room.

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: I get the impression that your band has always had

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: a great sense of itself. You've said that when you

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: were younger, you know, you do your own makeup, you

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: didn't have stylists. This, You've always had your own energy

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: to push you through. Do you still feel like that

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 2: that this is so much you you're being directed, as you say,

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: from your own bubble, and that's it.

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so everything we do. When we started out,

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: we sort of came out of an art school background,

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: and there's somethink about that that's stuck with us. That

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: we like to make stuff, whether it's a video or

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: obviously the song comes first, but then after that the

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: video or the live show or whatever it is, every

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: detail of it, particularly John Taylor and I concentrate on

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: things like typefaces on the on the on the you know,

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: the smartest part of the album, and I love graphic

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: design and all those things. So yeah, that's very important

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: to us, and I think if you lose sight of

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: what it is that you're about, for us, it was

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: always music first and then everything else that goes with it.

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: Well, you guys with the film clip, you know, I

60
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: think of like the film clip to the Reflex and

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: Wild Boys were just cinematic experiences. And then you look

62
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: at the film clips today, which sort of just revolve

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: around girls just twerking constantly.

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: It seems to be twerking at that point. I don't

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: know whether I don't know whether I want to think

66
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: about the Wild Boys video with twerking it. You know,

67
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: when we were making those things, it was a wasn't it.

68
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Video was quite new for songs. It really was born

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: in the in the early eighties, and so we could

70
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: all do whatever we wanted. The budgets got bigger and

71
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger until the bubble burst, which was around

72
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: the time of Wild Boys and Michael Jackson's Thriller and

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: stuff like that, when I think it was getting a

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: little insane. But the great sort of monuments of that

75
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: period of time they tell the story of and I

76
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: suppose that kind of crazy excess that existed at that

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: point in the eighties was fun to make videos with.

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: The Wild Boys video was done on about three sound

79
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: stages at a major studio here in the UK, and

80
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: I've never ever seen that many extras before or since.

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: Well, I for one would just like to thank you

82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: for girls on film that's.

83
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Still spoken about it, at least once away.

84
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: It still stands up as it were. But well, they'll

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: play sometimes I'll play the censored version and then you

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: get the rudy version. I always liked the rudy version.

87
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: It's always a treat when that comes on.

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, if I had a dollar for every time

89
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: someone's thanked me for that one in there.

90
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: You'd be doing all right, which you are doing. Nick,

91
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: It's great to talk to you. Don't give Simon too

92
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: much grief about his shoes because he is a bit

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: of a fashion icon.

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Well, it depends, you know, as long as they're not brown.

95
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm okay, so brown wants.

96
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 3: To really do it, Nick Roads, it's great to talk to.

97
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: Jurandurand's new album Future past Us out now. Thank you, sir,
