Duran Duran Matters

Post the influential, The Wedding Album, an interview opportunity with Duran Duran guitarist Warren Cuccurullo was forced into an interview with me in July 1997 to talk through all things Medazzaland.

The album\u2019s first single was also a track included on the soundtrack to The Saint. \u201cOut Of My Mind\u201d took Duran Duran to new heights, even though John Taylor had recently and finally decided to leave the band.

During an emotional time, Simon, Warren, and Nick became the core of what the group continued to evolve into, unabated and in a very positive way.

The second album\u2019s single, \u201cElectric Barbarella\u201d, did equally well, and cemented their ongoing legacy, some 24-odd years later.

Duran Duran love music, armed with a need to make new forms of it, meaning their finest hour keeps gloriously shifting.
