There is a long-standing joke amongst Duranies regarding the time it takes for our favourite band to actually put a record out. And it's all the band's fault! They run on their own calendar, their own timezone, and their own clock. And they act like we all should be running on it as well... like it's absurd to NOT be on the same schedule with them.
They tell us that a record is coming - even give us a date - then SURPRISE! no album... and the same old excuses fly. We are so used to it, that if they ever did put an album out on the first release date I think half of us would pass out from shock.
Two years ago (TWO YEARS!) in Vegas I asked Roger Taylor, the resurrected drummer, how the album was coming along and he told me that it was all but finished!
Pffft... liar. *wink
Unfortunately one of the reasons for Durantime this go around was the departure of Andy Taylor, guitar god. And of the songs I've heard off the soon to be released 'Red Carpet Massacre' (Nov. 13) there isn't a lick of guitar to be heard. *sigh
The four remaining Durans are all perfectionist - each one - so I am sure the wait will be worth it. And it couldn't come at a better time for me... sooooo ready for some Durandistraction.
mmmm...
"Killer melodic sweet groove"
"surrounded in chrome"
