Duran Duran’s Roger Taylor has paid tribute to Scots rock legends The Sensational Alex Harvey Band as he made a pitch for his band to record the new Bond theme
.
“You’ve got all your awards, your Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, your Brits, your Grammys but getting asked to do the Bond theme is the top of the pile and the biggest award a musician can get I think.” Harvey’s blend of heavy rock and vaudeville is a bit difficult to see in the band known in the 80s for flashy videos and yachts.
“It was glamorous but had an edge as well as Alex who was very street. It was a mash-up of styles, music and technology. Duran has a bit of that. While Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall for Spectre in 2015 went to No1 in the UK, it only reached No 71 in the US and most recent song No Time to Die by Billie Eilish also went to No1 in the UK but only reached No16 in America.In the 80s Duran became the biggest band on the planet – huge in America as well as in the UK thanks to tracks Hungry Like the Wolf and Rio.
