@@resa.walters Planet Earth was my very 1st DD song I heard in 1981. I was 10. I’ve been their biggest fan since. I’m a JT fan 🎸. Thought I’d grow up & marry him. I was wrong. 😂😁🤷♀️
I seriously want to rub this in the faces of whoever ever thought DD were just a bunch of makeup-wearing pretty boys, or - God forbid - a fabricated boy band.
@@natasha.syberia I think its's simply done with a passion, he's totally feeling it, maybe he plays with someone in mind, like his wife, or sometimes is just really inspired.
@@JOHNNYSGIRL1960 Gotta give credit to his idols, Bernard Edward’s and Nile Rodgers for his Motown/Funk style… ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iWM-d8Mp3bA.html
I'm 58 and i remember the track back in 1983 !!! . I now understand it and it's brilliance !!!! . I hate talking like this !!!!!!! But ?????????????............. In that band is a "genius" and i think i know who it is ?????? . GREAT TRACK
How Could They be Underrated When they have Sold Over One Hundred Million Records/CDS World 🌎🌎🌎 Wide. They Just Dropped a New Single 2 Weeks Ago. They Still Sell Out Their Concerts!( I am a little biased because I sometimes tour with them as an assistant to the tour manger) Best Regards from Las Vegas
Whats so awsome is the version I remember as a teen sounds EXACTLY like this. D/D forever.....PLUS 7 & The Ragged Tiger is one of the best darkest feeling albums from a pop band in the 80's GREATEST!! Yes, Im a nerd >:)
One of the VERY greatest bands of all time. Innovative with their superb videos that the very young MTV played all the time. And then the incredible consistent music they have put out through all this 40 years plus. Stood the test of time for sure!
This track is dope as ever and JT just owns the solid funk that drives the tune. I love that they song the double layers of different lyrics together even live. It’s a wonderful embellishment I’ve always loved about this song.
I love this song, one of their best. Sadly they didn’t perform it when I saw them live 3 weeks ago but luckily I’ve seen them sing it live at concerts before.
've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things Telling me not there man, it's no go (don't go there boy) I need a reason (I can't think without one now) Too much learning got to show Call it treason (maybe catch her don't know how) Too many things too much to know Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind Lady screaming, lady leave me out 'Cause sometimes people stare (coming down, electric chair) And steaming crowds they gather and they shout Don't know why this evil bothers me (take another chance boy carry the fight you can take him if you're fast) So why is he trying to follow me? (didn't I say if you're holdin' on you'd be laughing at the last) How many reasons do they need? (I get along fine with them friends of mine, But you have to make a choice) I might just believe this time (you're singing out of tune, but the beats in time and it's us who make the noise) I'm talking for free I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've got something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun But someone sees the departmental lie You know this peacetime, jabbing fist in stabbing knife Only get one look before you die Don't know why this evil follows me (gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners in regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things) So why does he try to bother me? (walking in formation down the lane they carry their cross make a church bell ring) How many reasons do they need? (army majors pull a mean cool truth there lying in a swimming pool) I might just be right this time (searching for the undeniable truth that a man is just a fool) I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion Don't know why this evil follows me (gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners in regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things) So why does he try to bother me?

I must say I .love the sound. The song is one of my favorites! But.... I must say that I miss the Simon of the 80s. I love his antics. Upbeat. Running around playing with the band. I do understand that was 80s, getting older, I am also. Yet I want Duran Duran to continue to leave their mark on all of us around world!
Day-um...thank you, Dom Brown for the blazing leads. John Taylor...goes without saying, the master of great bass ghost notes. Anna Ross...thank you for holding down the bgv's. Simon!!! You sound/look/are great here.
It’s an incredibly complicated song to have structured this early in their career - just awesome, and the song that made me pick up a bass, that was 40 years ago and we’ve had some wild nights since then!
@@gmansi I'd say because a lot of it is "against the grain" - John's heavily syncopated, pumping bass riff, Andy's metal-meets-funk guitar, Simon's close-to-rapping ("searching for the undeniable truth that a man is just a fool" - can anyone sum it all up better?), Nick's Keys in "duel" with the bass, and everything on Roger's solid carpet. "Complex" may be more fitting, perhaps. But Khanada was also pretty complex; and the My Own Way "Night version" is also pretty cool.
@@gmansi Nothing to thank for! So I guess Khanada and My own way - at least in the arguably better Night Version - push a button for you, too? Anyone out there is another one where I see your point. I read somewhere that John was responsible for the arrangements; which may explain why the bass has a rather more prominent role than usual. Which in this case is much more justified than with Overkill over the past 30 years... Just playing is the Night Version of Planet Earth - if I'm not mistaken, I have that one upstairs, too. Black generic sleeve vinyl, you know. Also an incredible stampede bass augmented by some funky rips, really dirty spots by Andy, a lone sax in the first half (and I think it's a real one) supported by more brass later (from 3:00). At some places, a bit less keys would have been more. IMVHO...
Love this! Your can hear everyone clearly and there's enough power and artistry here to (once again) bring this awesome, gothic song right into the current times. Just terrific stuff!!
Been a fan since '81 and this has always been one of my favorites. John is the most underrated bassist ever. Nick is a genius; Simon has a one-of-a-kind voice. Roger is amazing too!
JT kicks it solid !!!! Miss Andy and also i miss Roger's drum power , he was so energetic and the snare was getting a serious beating . Anyhow this is a great great version
