I was looking for fellow Supernatural fans and noticed your journal title was one of my favorite Duran Duran songs off of Astronaut. I hope you don't mind I added you.
LOL! I've seen pics of John back in the day I can appreciate your inner 15 yr. old's taste. *nod*
I actually became a real fan after I saw them in concert. I always enjoyed their hits, but when my hubby talked me into seeing them live when they were doing the Astronaut tour I was totaly blown away.
They are incredible live, even though I was petulant about the fact that they didn't play my favorite song, "Hold Back the Rain," when I saw the show for that tour. Especially after they added the song to their set list in the next concert on the tour.
That show was just crazy good. I still get excited thinking about it years later and I've been to other concerts (not a lot, but a few). Hold Back the Rain is so much better live. I mean I really love the song on cd, but the first time I heard it was live and it rocked so hard that now on cd it's like eh, but still my fave.
Did you buy Red Carpet Massacre? I didn't buy it 'cause hubby said he heard it wasn't as good as their other stuff that the sound was different, but since I think I can trust your taste in musch maybe you can tell me if you like it. I feel kinda weird cause I don't have it not that I have all their albums, but I do have several.
I will check out the review when I get home from work. Apparently, Dreamwidth is not blocked while access to Livejournal is...
I am very jealous of anyone who has seen "Hold Back the Rain" live. I well and truly am because I imagine it would be cool as hell. Though they surprised me with their take on "Careless Memories" as their final song. It could have sounded well and truly dated, given that the original version relies more on synthesizers. Actually, that was the one thing I really loved about the show in general. Nothing sounded dated to me at all.
I would also kill to hear "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)" live, which they perfom a lot in their European shows. ;)
I did buy Red Carpet Massacre. I really loved it but it is a different sound. And, hey, don't feel weird. I will never own a copy of "Liberty" and the jury is out on whether or not I'll break down and buy "Big Thing." ;-P
