Let’s hope we make the cut!"ĭrummer Roger Taylor went on to say, "The feeling was pure gratitude when I heard this morning that we are nominees for the rock n' roll hall of fame. To be considered by the Hall of Famers is truly next level. For decades now Duran Duran have been inspired by the incredible support of our beautiful and diverse fanbase around the world. We are all extremely grateful to all of you for making this happen."īassist John Taylor added, "What a surprise and an honor! To be nominated by such a highly esteemed organization is truly special in this, our fortieth, year. But for sure, this distinction is due in large part to the fact that we have an army of fans around the world who have unwaveringly supported us for the past four decades. The band posted their personal reactions on their official website (), with frontman Simon LeBon writing, "Just to make it onto the nominations list is an honor that I never expected to experience. Earlier this week, the band was among those tapped for induction - with the list also including Beck, Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, DEVO, Eminem, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, Fela Kuti, MC5, New York Dolls, Dolly Parton, Rage Against The Machine, Lionel Richie, Carly Simon, A Tribe Called Quest, and Dionne Warwick.
#DURAN DURAN THANK YOU FULL#
We are full of joy! When Duran Duran asked us to join their new song, we listened to it and thought “this is lively, rock, cool and fun,” and we danced! We added our voices to their rock sound, making it even more ‘MORE JOY’! Because we are MORE JOY.Duran Duran couldn't be happier with their first time being nominated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Nick suggested some girlish voices on “MORE JOY!” and I knew exactly where to find them - CHAI, post- modern, all-girl Japanese punk band, whose energy and pure sense of fun might actually blow your ears off! We are honoured to have them sprinkle their pink neon magic spikey dust onto our song. To our joy they agreed, and the result most certainly brought an incredible new energy to the song. We all agreed that it would sound really great with Japanese female voices on it, and that’s when Simon had the inspired idea to ask CHAI if they would possibly collaborate with us. We came up with the chant “more joy” early on, and that became the key to the rest of the track. It reminded me of one of those retro Japanese video games, which I always found quite uplifting. It was such an unusual piece we weren’t quite sure if it would fit in at first. The song “MORE JOY!” was born out of a crazy jam with Duran Duran, Graham Coxon and Erol Alkan.
