was backstage in '87 when they came to Jackson. can confirm. major A-hole. Tommy Aldridge was raised in Pearl and his family still lived there. My roommate grew up next door to them. Tommy's sister got us backstage passes and we hung out with Aldridge, his family, Rudy Sarzo, Vivian Campbell, and Adrian Vandenberg before and after the show. Stood on the sound board stage during the show. Coverdale waltzed in with Tawny Kittaen about fifteen minutes before they were to go onstage, went to his dressing room, and never came and hung out with or spoke to Aldridge's family the entire night. The rest of the guys were very down to earth and chill.
Very underrated because they were so original. Nobody sounded like them, although they tried.
Man. That list could go on a long time. Saw the live last year in New Orleans. If you get a chance, do yourself a favor and see them while there still near their peak. Incredible concert. Opened by Nile Rogers, who is also incredible
- Rio (The whole album)
- New Moon on Monday
- Girls on Film
- A View to a Kill
- Come Undone
- and this one...

Didn’t Tommy Aldridge play drums with black oak Arkansas?
Shat I’m old
Wow. I feel like I haven't heard that song since it was a regular vid on MTV. Almsot thought I should be wearing my knit and no socks, Miami vice pastels.
My wife's favorite bass player is John Taylor. I play bass.
The Rio album was something. It's hard to like a single song on that album.
If you can watch the musicians discussing how they made that album on the Behind the Music album special from VH1, you really should.
Simon Le Bon says they weren't dance remixes. Duran Duran actually went back into the studio and recorded 12" club singles of their songs. They wanted control of their music, and they didn't know any other way to add to expand their taped songs.
For the original question, Hungry Like the Wolf is one of my favorite songs to put me in a party mood. Love the laughing woman intro.
Funny you should say that - Here's PowerStation (2 of the Duran Duran guys, unfortunately without Robert Palmer fronting - that's Michael Des Barres) on Miami Vice. Look at all that awesome hair.
I see threads all the time about bands I don't know or don't like. Never crosses my mind to go in and **** on their music and the fans who like them.
You not liking something doesn't equate to you knowing wtf you're talking about...
Out all the videos posted I did like Ordinary World. But the rest…..not so much.
