laugh

I'm watching this while at work so not able to listen to the audio, no offence to all Durranies out there as I know there are a few on the forum, but surely they've got their tongues firmly in their cheeks here, it almost looks like they're trying hard not to laugh.

Sorry, but I just dont buy it that DD are such huge fans of the 'Werk that they feel the need for this. I'm still trying to quantify the fact that they once asked John & Louis to be support on their gigs...

I think you're mis-reading the banter! We're just poking fun at the Showroom Brummies wink

Anyway if you look closely - LeBon is clearly taking it too seriously himself...whereas Roger Taylor is clearly aware of the whole situation and is trying very, very hard not to laugh!

I can see why people would think this is both hilarious and, possibly, awful, but I think you have to look at it in context. This clip is taken from a slightly longer 'electro set' that the band played on all dates of the 'Red Carpet Massacre' tour throughout late 2007 through 2008. This was played post interval and was intended, in part, to give a nod to some of the influences the band were listening to around the time of their first album and that they'd revisited when making 'Red Carpet Massacre' in 2007, giving something new to DD audiences used to seeing a rock band only. It also meant that Roger Taylor didn't have to bash away on a drum kit at full tilt for over two and a half hours without rest.

The electro set list was: -

Showroom Dummies
Last Chance on the Stairway
All She Wants Is
Warm Leatherette
I Don't Want Your Love
Skin Trade


'Showroom Dummies' was dropped for the later parts of the tour, although why so I have no idea. It was interesting to watch, and I suspect intended as something 'fun'; it gave a different emphasis for the songs, and gave people the opportunity to see a couple of the band performing on instruments more associated with Nick Rhodes.

Hope this adds to the debate.
