Arena

Product Information

There’s more kick to the instrumental parts too, and you still have all the assorted sounds that pop in and out (I have no doubt were prerecorded). Other criticism arose from the omission of some of the band's biggest songs like " The Reflex", " Girls on Film" and " Rio". Then a few years later, wonder of wonders, Duran Duran had the greatest comeback this side of Aerosmith with The Wedding Album and the extraordinary “Ordinary World”, and then they subsequently shot it all to hell with a covers album nobody really asked for.

Both the Sing Blue Silver documentary and the Arena film were reissued on DVD in 2004; the Arena DVD features The Making of Arena as an extra. These videos featured Duran Duran performing live in Oakland, California between April 12/15 1984 while Milo O'Shea reprised his role as the evil Dr. The album was eventually re-issued on 1 June 2004 and included two bonus tracks " Girls on Film" and " Rio". To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If you checked into this world any time between 1965 and 1975, the sheer ubiquity of Duran Duran indelibly stamped some of their songs on several thousand neurons that you have tucked away somewhere in your brain pan – and be honest, you like it.

But Le Bon Bon almost always had you thinking it all meant something because he put such emotion into his singing. To cap off the band's highly successful 1983/1984 Sing Blue Silver World Tour, EMI released a live album, which according to the sleeve was "Recorded Around The World 1984". I mean really, the guy puts an incredible amount of emotion into the most incredibly meaningless lyrics you could ever hope to hear. This is a really decent album, and whilst it claims to be a 'live' album, it seems to have been produced to a level that makes it closer to a studio album, albeit with more atmosphere and depth.

But then when you have a countryful of people taught almost from the moment of conception that they are part of the specialest, most amazingest, most freedom-and-democracy lovingest God-blessed sun-kissed country from sea to shining sea there ever was or ever will be, well, frankly, that is going to do some really weird things to your national psyche.Hungry Like the Wolf” would be laughable if it didn’t have the hookiest chorus 1982 had to offer, one that made it undeniably iconic. When a vocalist can sing lines like “you say you’re easy honey/but you’re about as easy as a nuclear war” and I am willing to look the other way, well, I’d say you must have a pretty talented vocalist.

So I did what any red-blooded American father would do – I told my daughter go sit by the pool where she’d been playing, and then slip under the tape and into the venue when no one was looking. At 14, i bought this album on cassette in a bin in a French gas station and played it to death, as my Australian family travelled through a frozen European winter in 1984. It was released in 1984 and in this version there is the addition of 2 bonuses that maintains the optimum level of the album. Duran Duran’s arrangements were always interesting, always thoughtful – it took real planning and even architecture, if you will, to construct the sounds they did.

About halfway through the show one of the concessions workers got off and saw me sitting there while my daughter was playing over by the pond by the entrance, and offered me the free ticket she had, which was very generous of her and which I gratefully accepted.
