Duran Duran: A Hollywood High (2022) - full transcript
Duran Duran's live show becomes immortalized on the big screen. Featuring exclusive new interviews, behind-the-scenes video and unseen archival footage, the film celebrates the band's four-decade-long career.
♪ MTV
A lad that was growing up in Birmingham
where sunshine was in real short supply.
Palm trees definitely were.
When I first arrived in LA,
I thought I arrived in paradise.
Los Angeles for me has always
been about Sunset Strip.
I remember the first time
we arrived here.
We were staying on Sunset at a hotel
that was then called the Hyatt.
But it was known
as the "Riot House."
I'd first read about it
in Ian Hunter's book,
"Diary of a Rock'n'Roll Star."
And I was determined that we'd
stay there one day, and we did.
It was fun while it lasted,
but remarkably,
we managed to get ourselves
thrown out for bad behavior,
which I guess was like having
a badge of honor at the time.
It's rock'n'roll.
You know, New York was punk.
LA is rock'n'roll and always has been.
I did like Sunset.
I liked the energy around the Strip.
It's those endless, wide boulevards
with the palm trees
and the beautiful light
that characterizes Los Angeles for me.
And I feel like I'm in a film noir
when I'm traveling in a car
and there's someone next to me
talking about a dame
with a gun in her handbag.
We did an in-store at The Licorice Pizza.
And, you know, and just being
in the back of a limousine,
you know, on the freeway
system here, it just...
It's a very uplifting place to be.
I remember the very first time
that we entered the city of Los Angeles.
We drove in.
I remember seeing these
huge oil extraction machines.
They looked like...
They reminded me of this
duck thing that my grandfather
used to have
which used to put its nose down,
fill up with water
and then go glub-glub-glub-glub-glub.
And I'd never seen so much
commercial advertising.
It was a huge, visual input
as we drove up the hill,
and in the background
is the Hollywood sign.
Playing in Los Angeles
on Sunset at the Roxy,
it was one of those landmarks for us.
It was a terrific learning experience.
I mean, I think that whole
first American tour actually
was probably one of the most
fun things I ever did.
We seemed to be flavor of the
moment when we first came to LA.
We were being played on KROQ,
being played in the clubs.
So that we were known
in a kind of quite underground way.
We would do a gig.
We would meet some fans
after the show, and they'd
invite us back to their place
to have a party, and we'd go and hang.
Our first show, incredible.
We were really, really hot.
You know, I really did enjoy
those early tours of America.
It hadn't reached that
kind of level of intensity.
It was such an exciting time.
Probably one of our last times
that we could actually walk
around on the streets.
Stand back!
We had two shows.
We had a matinee
and an evening show.
And management had taken upon
themselves to invite people.
And they actually invited Nina Simone.
And Nina didn't come.
But she sent a little card.
And I guess because I'm the
front man, the lead singer,
she addressed it to me.
It said, "Dear Simon.
Um, "Terribly sorry, I can't make it.
Have a great show.
Nina."
And it was this lovely card
like a birthday card
with balloons on it,
and full of balloons.
It's beautiful.
Still got it.
It's a treasured possession,
it really is.
And we played these two shows,
and we were magnificent.
I got so much inspiration
from the scene
that it just made its way into the music.
Well, the song that springs
to mind is the song "Rio."
The lyric and the melody
were both written
after our first trip to America.
"From mountains in the North
down to the Rio Grande."
That's this part of the world
I'm talking about.
The cultural history for me
has always been about
the whole town being based upon
the movie industry.
Of course, there's a complete obsession
with fame and star culture.
Fame, fame, fame.
Liquor stores that always
seem to be amplified by neon.
Liquor store!
I'd never been anywhere like it before.
You know, we'd been to New York.
And we thought, oh, okay,
this is what America is like.
It's not.
LA is just so different.
It's like a different country.
Another time when
we were here very early on
we went into the studio
with a producer, David Kershenbaum
to remix the "Rio" album.
FM radio here was a big,
compressed sound.
And when you got into a car,
it just hit you like a wave.
And certainly the single
"Hungry Like the Wolf"
which is what broke us in America,
that was the mix that we did with David,
not the original version.
But I think the fact that you'd
come from an A&R background
as well, you recognized the songs.
- Correct.
- Um, because I think that
was a lot of the thing with some
of the other people we were
dealing with in America,
it was... they'd take it to radio
and they'd just go, uh, I don't
know, the sound isn't fitting
for us, but you knew what
it was to make it like that.
And honestly, that... those
sessions that we did together
was first for the "Carnival" EP
which were the longer remixes.
And then you also remixed
a whole side of the album.
I think so, yeah, and we did...
As I remember, we did, uh,
"Hungry Like the Wolf" first,
and it started to get reaction.
And they said why don't you go
back and do some more.
And I think we did.
I think we did "Save a Prayer."
I don't remember...
- Yeah, we did "Save a Prayer."
We definitely did
"Hold Back the Rain."
- "Hold Back the Rain."
- There's at least
five or six of those tracks.
But I really do feel genuinely that
you lit the touch paper that
ignited, um, America
for, for, for the band.
- Oh, wow.
- So I'm very grateful...
- I'm grateful too, thank you.
I'm glad we're sitting here
today, you know,
looking back with those great memories.
'Cause it was, it was a magical time.
- Yeah.
- It was a magical time.
Yeah, it really was.
We were doing a tour in '83, I guess.
And we did the press conference
at the Magic Castle.
When did you learn an instrument?
I learned to use my instrument...
...when I was...
- And most successful at it.
At five, actually, but it was
plastic at the time.
I was what you call a late developer.
I didn't pick up mine
until I was about 16.
I was born with my instrument,
and it just got used sort of
again and again and again.
The media were asking all
these different questions.
And inevitably being British
and not being able to help
ourselves, they got answers that
perhaps they weren't expecting.
I started playing
with mine when I was, um...
...17.
- Um...
- Roger's still...
Roger needs two hands for his.
The location for the show was chosen
because of its proximity
to the Capital Records building.
We first started talking about some kind
of a performance in Hollywood
quite a few months ago.
As we kind of honed in on what
it was that we were going to do.
And we went from like
a truck to one rooftop
to another rooftop, and we ended up
with this particular
location in Hollywood.
So the first time we actually
went into Capitol Records,
I remember thinking how strange
that the building is round.
It reminded me of the Rotunda
which was a building that John,
Roger, and I grew up with
in the center of Birmingham.
I think it's probably the
greatest like music architecture
landmark in the world
or certainly building.
This building makes me crazy.
I would love to get out of here
'cause a record company
should be horizontal.
The building kind of puts
a damper on the kind
of enthusiasm that a record
company should have.
Capitol Records was our label.
It really felt like something
big was about to happen.
And I was kind of proud
of the fact that we had this
label with this iconic building.
- I didn't quite know
how important Capitol Records was.
I knew there was a link with The Beatles.
It wasn't the coolest label.
They used to call it the house
that Frank built.
Because it was supposedly
like Frank Sinatra's royalties
that paid for it.
Other entertainment news this morning.
If you're a fan of Duran Duran...
A big honor tonight for
the rock group Duran Duran.
Duran Duran has been
honored with a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame
is so kind of, um...
People relate to it
mostly for film people,
but when you see our star
is next to John Lennon's,
that really kind of hits home.
I think of all the time we've
ever spent in LA and all the
people we've ever met and all
the things we've ever done,
actually, by far, the most
significant to Duran Duran
was meeting Warren Cuccurullo
who was in the band
Missing Persons at the time.
And after that, he joined us
for a 15-year period.
He's a remarkable musician,
and I treasure
all the things that we did together.
Warren came over to New York
to meet with us.
And there's one track that
exists on Duran Duran.
It's a track called
"American Science" on the
"Notorious" album
where there's two little solos.
One is Warren Cuccurullo,
one is Andy Taylor.
So it was closing one door
and opening the other.
And Warren stayed with us
all the way through until the reunion.
♪ Ooh...
As a band, we have largely steered clear
of making any kind
of political statements.
However, the plight
of the people in the Ukraine
has been do deeply upsetting.
The situation was clearly
a humanitarian disaster.
And we just wanted to show our support.
I think for me, you know,
when you trade in entertainment
of a particular kind,
sort of escapism, I suppose,
you might say, you know, you're doing it
against this backdrop of concern.
Is there any way to incorporate
that concern into
what you're doing and was this incredible
opportunity to light up
the Capitol Building.
And I wasn't even sure it was possible.
But when I first saw it illuminated,
it was quite heartwarming actually.
It was a prayer from Duran Duran.
You know, and it was about
four minutes long.
Back in the UK pre-pandemic,
we'd started to write a new album
which eventually
became "Future Past."
I think it's some
of the strongest material
we've done together in quite a long time.
"Anniversary."
John presented the title.
He said it's our 40th anniversary.
Let's write a song.
You know, we made a long list
of ways that we could
imagine ourselves celebrating
our anniversary.
And one idea was to write a song.
"Anniversary" was a track
that we built in the studio
referencing some of our older material.
We've never done that before.
I think it's almost
like a, uh, a throwback
to "Wild Boys", isn't it?
It's got that kind of throbbing, tribal
feel to the rhythm section.
It was built out of a riff
that Graham Coxon started playing.
Then Nick started playing along
with it and...
You know, very unusual when
Nick says "I love that riff."
It's a very Duran Duran
sounding track that one is.
Reminds me of quite a few songs
that we've done before.
I often said this record has got one foot
in the past and one in the future.
And it was strange doing
something a little more
reflective because we're always
looking forward
through the mirror onto the other side,
but this time it was staring back at us.
When you finally release an album,
you know that it's the beginning
of a new phase,
and that it's time to play shows again.
We wanted to do something
really special in LA.
I can't say that we've ever
played on a rooftop before.
We've done a photograph on a rooftop,
but I can't say that we've ever
played on a roof before.

Thank you very much!

A lad that was growing up in Birmingham
where sunshine was in real short supply.
Palm trees definitely were.
When I first arrived in LA,
I thought I arrived in paradise.
Los Angeles for me has always
been about Sunset Strip.
I remember the first time
we arrived here.
We were staying on Sunset at a hotel
that was then called the Hyatt.
But it was known
as the "Riot House."
I'd first read about it
in Ian Hunter's book,
"Diary of a Rock'n'Roll Star."
And I was determined that we'd
stay there one day, and we did.
It was fun while it lasted,
but remarkably,
we managed to get ourselves
thrown out for bad behavior,
which I guess was like having
a badge of honor at the time.
It's rock'n'roll.
You know, New York was punk.
LA is rock'n'roll and always has been.
I did like Sunset.
I liked the energy around the Strip.
It's those endless, wide boulevards
with the palm trees
and the beautiful light
that characterizes Los Angeles for me.
And I feel like I'm in a film noir
when I'm traveling in a car
and there's someone next to me
talking about a dame
with a gun in her handbag.
We did an in-store at The Licorice Pizza.
And, you know, and just being
in the back of a limousine,
you know, on the freeway
system here, it just...
It's a very uplifting place to be.
I remember the very first time
that we entered the city of Los Angeles.
We drove in.
I remember seeing these
huge oil extraction machines.
They looked like...
They reminded me of this
duck thing that my grandfather
used to have
which used to put its nose down,
fill up with water
and then go glub-glub-glub-glub-glub.
And I'd never seen so much
commercial advertising.
It was a huge, visual input
as we drove up the hill,
and in the background
is the Hollywood sign.
Playing in Los Angeles
on Sunset at the Roxy,
it was one of those landmarks for us.
It was a terrific learning experience.
I mean, I think that whole
first American tour actually
was probably one of the most
fun things I ever did.
We seemed to be flavor of the
moment when we first came to LA.
We were being played on KROQ,
being played in the clubs.
So that we were known
in a kind of quite underground way.
We would do a gig.
We would meet some fans
after the show, and they'd
invite us back to their place
to have a party, and we'd go and hang.
Our first show, incredible.
We were really, really hot.
You know, I really did enjoy
those early tours of America.
It hadn't reached that
kind of level of intensity.
It was such an exciting time.
Probably one of our last times
that we could actually walk
around on the streets.
Stand back!
We had two shows.
We had a matinee
and an evening show.
And management had taken upon
themselves to invite people.
And they actually invited Nina Simone.
And Nina didn't come.
But she sent a little card.
And I guess because I'm the
front man, the lead singer,
she addressed it to me.
It said, "Dear Simon.
Um, "Terribly sorry, I can't make it.
Have a great show.
Nina."
And it was this lovely card
like a birthday card
with balloons on it,
and full of balloons.
It's beautiful.
Still got it.
It's a treasured possession,
it really is.
And we played these two shows,
and we were magnificent.
I got so much inspiration
from the scene
that it just made its way into the music.
Well, the song that springs
to mind is the song "Rio."
The lyric and the melody
were both written
after our first trip to America.
"From mountains in the North
down to the Rio Grande."
That's this part of the world
I'm talking about.
The cultural history for me
has always been about
the whole town being based upon
the movie industry.
Of course, there's a complete obsession
with fame and star culture.
Fame, fame, fame.
Liquor stores that always
seem to be amplified by neon.
Liquor store!
I'd never been anywhere like it before.
You know, we'd been to New York.
And we thought, oh, okay,
this is what America is like.
It's not.
LA is just so different.
It's like a different country.
Another time when
we were here very early on
we went into the studio
with a producer, David Kershenbaum
to remix the "Rio" album.
FM radio here was a big,
compressed sound.
And when you got into a car,
it just hit you like a wave.
And certainly the single
"Hungry Like the Wolf"
which is what broke us in America,
that was the mix that we did with David,
not the original version.
But I think the fact that you'd
come from an A&R background
as well, you recognized the songs.
- Correct.
- Um, because I think that
was a lot of the thing with some
of the other people we were
dealing with in America,
it was... they'd take it to radio
and they'd just go, uh, I don't
know, the sound isn't fitting
for us, but you knew what
it was to make it like that.
And honestly, that... those
sessions that we did together
was first for the "Carnival" EP
which were the longer remixes.
And then you also remixed
a whole side of the album.
I think so, yeah, and we did...
As I remember, we did, uh,
"Hungry Like the Wolf" first,
and it started to get reaction.
And they said why don't you go
back and do some more.
And I think we did.
I think we did "Save a Prayer."
I don't remember...
- Yeah, we did "Save a Prayer."
We definitely did
"Hold Back the Rain."
- "Hold Back the Rain."
- There's at least
five or six of those tracks.
But I really do feel genuinely that
you lit the touch paper that
ignited, um, America
for, for, for the band.
- Oh, wow.
- So I'm very grateful...
- I'm grateful too, thank you.
I'm glad we're sitting here
today, you know,
looking back with those great memories.
'Cause it was, it was a magical time.
- Yeah.
- It was a magical time.
Yeah, it really was.
We were doing a tour in '83, I guess.
And we did the press conference
at the Magic Castle.
When did you learn an instrument?
I learned to use my instrument...
...when I was...
- And most successful at it.
At five, actually, but it was
plastic at the time.
I was what you call a late developer.
I didn't pick up mine
until I was about 16.
I was born with my instrument,
and it just got used sort of
again and again and again.
The media were asking all
these different questions.
And inevitably being British
and not being able to help
ourselves, they got answers that
perhaps they weren't expecting.
I started playing
with mine when I was, um...
...17.
- Um...
- Roger's still...
Roger needs two hands for his.
The location for the show was chosen
because of its proximity
to the Capital Records building.
We first started talking about some kind
of a performance in Hollywood
quite a few months ago.
As we kind of honed in on what
it was that we were going to do.
And we went from like
a truck to one rooftop
to another rooftop, and we ended up
with this particular
location in Hollywood.
So the first time we actually
went into Capitol Records,
I remember thinking how strange
that the building is round.
It reminded me of the Rotunda
which was a building that John,
Roger, and I grew up with
in the center of Birmingham.
I think it's probably the
greatest like music architecture
landmark in the world
or certainly building.
This building makes me crazy.
I would love to get out of here
'cause a record company
should be horizontal.
The building kind of puts
a damper on the kind
of enthusiasm that a record
company should have.
Capitol Records was our label.
It really felt like something
big was about to happen.
And I was kind of proud
of the fact that we had this
label with this iconic building.
- I didn't quite know
how important Capitol Records was.
I knew there was a link with The Beatles.
It wasn't the coolest label.
They used to call it the house
that Frank built.
Because it was supposedly
like Frank Sinatra's royalties
that paid for it.
Other entertainment news this morning.
If you're a fan of Duran Duran...
A big honor tonight for
the rock group Duran Duran.
Duran Duran has been
honored with a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame
is so kind of, um...
People relate to it
mostly for film people,
but when you see our star
is next to John Lennon's,
that really kind of hits home.
I think of all the time we've
ever spent in LA and all the
people we've ever met and all
the things we've ever done,
actually, by far, the most
significant to Duran Duran
was meeting Warren Cuccurullo
who was in the band
Missing Persons at the time.
And after that, he joined us
for a 15-year period.
He's a remarkable musician,
and I treasure
all the things that we did together.
Warren came over to New York
to meet with us.
And there's one track that
exists on Duran Duran.
It's a track called
"American Science" on the
"Notorious" album
where there's two little solos.
One is Warren Cuccurullo,
one is Andy Taylor.
So it was closing one door
and opening the other.
And Warren stayed with us
all the way through until the reunion.
♪ Ooh...
As a band, we have largely steered clear
of making any kind
of political statements.
However, the plight
of the people in the Ukraine
has been do deeply upsetting.
The situation was clearly
a humanitarian disaster.
And we just wanted to show our support.
I think for me, you know,
when you trade in entertainment
of a particular kind,
sort of escapism, I suppose,
you might say, you know, you're doing it
against this backdrop of concern.
Is there any way to incorporate
that concern into
what you're doing and was this incredible
opportunity to light up
the Capitol Building.
And I wasn't even sure it was possible.
But when I first saw it illuminated,
it was quite heartwarming actually.
It was a prayer from Duran Duran.
You know, and it was about
four minutes long.
Back in the UK pre-pandemic,
we'd started to write a new album
which eventually
became "Future Past."
I think it's some
of the strongest material
we've done together in quite a long time.
"Anniversary."
John presented the title.
He said it's our 40th anniversary.
Let's write a song.
You know, we made a long list
of ways that we could
imagine ourselves celebrating
our anniversary.
And one idea was to write a song.
"Anniversary" was a track
that we built in the studio
referencing some of our older material.
We've never done that before.
I think it's almost
like a, uh, a throwback
to "Wild Boys", isn't it?
It's got that kind of throbbing, tribal
feel to the rhythm section.
It was built out of a riff
that Graham Coxon started playing.
Then Nick started playing along
with it and...
You know, very unusual when
Nick says "I love that riff."
It's a very Duran Duran
sounding track that one is.
Reminds me of quite a few songs
that we've done before.
I often said this record has got one foot
in the past and one in the future.
And it was strange doing
something a little more
reflective because we're always
looking forward
through the mirror onto the other side,
but this time it was staring back at us.
When you finally release an album,
you know that it's the beginning
of a new phase,
and that it's time to play shows again.
We wanted to do something
really special in LA.
I can't say that we've ever
played on a rooftop before.
We've done a photograph on a rooftop,
but I can't say that we've ever
played on a roof before.
