Duran Duran nació en 1978 en Birmingham (Inglaterra). Sus fundadores fueron Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Simon Colley y Stephen Duffy. El nombre de Duran Duran fue tomado del personaje que interpretaba Milo O'Shea en la película de ciencia-ficción Barbarella, protagonizada por Jane Fonda.
En 1979, Colley y Duffy son sustituídos por el cantante Andy Wicket y el batería Roger Taylor. Además, gracias a un anuncio aparecido en prensa, eligen a Andy Taylor como nuevo guitarrista de la banda.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Here are the chords to the band's title track from their 2004 album. Much of this song acoustic based, with Simon LeBon playing these chords live and Andy Taylor playing along some of them during the verses and for the entire chorus. Andy also does some extra work with the electric guitar in parts of the song. I've tried to point out what obvious parts he has that I can recognize.
For the verses, this is the main riff... EmBAsus2/Am e|--0-0-0-0----0-2-2----0-0-0-----------------| B|--0-0-0-0----0-2-2----0-0-1-----------------| G|--0-0-0-0----4-4-4----2-2-2-----------------| D|--2-2-2-2----4-4-4----2-2-2-----------------| A|--2-2-2-2----0-2-2--------------------------| E|--0-0-0-0-----------------------------------|
For the chorus, it's pretty simple... A5D5E5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------9-9-9----7-7-7------------------------------------------------| D|--7-7-7-7----9-9-9----7-7-7------------------------------------------------| A|--7-7-7-7----7-7-7----5-5-5------------------------------------------------| E|--5-5-5-5------------------------------------------------------------------|
This is Andy's part just before the second verse. And this also comes in for the last of the second verse as well. EmB(2)BAm e|------------------------0-0-------------------------------------------------| B|--8--8-8-8--------------1-1-------------------------------------------------| G|--9--9-9-9--8----4-4----2-2-------------------------------------------------| D|--9--9-9-9--9----4-4----2-2-------------------------------------------------| A|--7--7-7-7--9----2-2--------------------------------------------------------| E|------------7---------------------------------------------------------------|
Be sure to catch where the down and up strokes come in... during the main riff especially.
Verse One: EmBAsus2Am Makes my hair stand up on end Something alien happening Synchronized but don't comprehend Coz where I stop that's where you begin
EmBAsus2Am I know the moment I commit A pleasure rising when I take the hit And I'm addicted to state you're in Cos you're getting me out of it
Chorus: A5E5D5 Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
(Andy Chords Before And During The Second Verse) EmB(2)BAm EmB(2)BB
Verse Two: EmBAsus2Am Groovin-out to x-ray spex Something tells me you're the alien sex I can't imagine now; what comes next When this astronaut connects?
EmBAsus2Am Coming-on when I touch your skin A kind of strange light you emit I feel your gravity pull me in Now you're getting me out of it
Chorus: A5E5D5 Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut (Repeat Again)
Bridge: (No Chords Played Here) Bare-feet for quantam leap Because space is hot and deep And we follow giant footprints as we fall... in falling like the twins through Saturn's holy rings And if they can't hold us Where it's gonna end up - anybody knows
Interlude: A5E5D5
An A-stronaut An A-stronaut
Guitar Solo: Here's my interpretation of the guitar solo from what I can hear.
Chorus: A5E5D5 Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut (Repeat Again)
Finale: A5E5D5 Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut
