Rare Duran Videos (nightboat, Careless Mems etc)

I found a page with tons of old music videos. Most require quicktime and I find some of the links don't work, but there are a few Duran ones including the rarely seen "Careless Memories"..actually it's kind of a sucky vid. The disco version of "My own Way" is there too.

  • I actually found a dvd from asia, I think, on ebay of the original duran duran video album. It is GREAT! I lost my VHS version of the album a long time ago.

    It also has lonely in your nightmare.

    I kinda liked the Careless Memories video - mostly for cheese value, but also for simon's "acting" ability in it - when he sings "walked out into the sun" it' like he's really walking out into the sun, even tho he's inside, on a stage! And the silly "let's show the roses crashing against the wall from four different angles" part cracks me up every time.

    My Own Way just reinforces how confident these gents are in their sexuality, not only does Simon's headband look a little femme, he actualy skips and twirls into the gaggle of girls at the end of the video. Still think he's the hottest man.

    Nightboat - oh nightboat, reciting shakespeare, scaly creatures, simon in a long trench coat - it all adds up to fabulous.

    It's work checking out ebay for rarities like that - I was pretty pissed that those four videos did not make it onto the greatest dvd.
  • okay this damn website is ADDICTING! do yourself a favor and check out New Order's 'Touched by the Hand of God"....I'd never seen it before and it's hilarious!

      "Is there anyone out there?"

      OK, I know I'm joining this discussion about 8 months late, but I know I have about 5 videotapes full of DD videos and interviews from the 80s someone in my house that I've carted around for years. I was definitely a huge fan and sat in front of the tv with videotape in hand just waiting for any snippet I could get. Of course it helped that MTV actually played videos back then... If I can figure out how to transfer them to some higher form of technology, I would be happy to share them. I'll keep you posted if I'm successful!

      :)
