(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Duran Duran struggled to keep up with Timbalands manic pace when they worked together.

The British New Wave band were one of the most successful acts in the 1980s, and found fame with songs including Rio, Girls on Film, The Wild Boys and A View to a Kill.

The groups last album was 2007 offering Red Carpet Massacre which was produced by hip-hop mogul Timbaland. Although Duran Duran were keen to keep their music sounding fresh, they soon realised they werent used to working so quickly.

Weve never been afraid of going with something new, keyboardist Nick Rhodes said in an interview with British newspaper The Daily Telegraph. But these dance producers work at such a manic pace lets get the track this afternoon, the lyric by the evening, the vocals recorded by 4am, done.

Well look at a word, or even a syllable, for a week.

Even though Duran Duran been around for 30 years, they still have a passion for making music. They are making a fresh assault on the music charts with their new album All You Need Is Now, which has been produced by Mark Ronson.

The group are planning to tour around the world for the next couple of years and they cant wait to get back on the road.

We live in the lap of luxury on tour five-star hotels, our own private jet if were touring in America, revealed drummer Roger Taylor. Theres something about that constant momentum thats quite addictive.

Lead singer Simon Le Bon is also looking forward to performing live for their fans, admitting he can get bored if he spends too much time at home.

I do get a little bit difficult to be with when Ive been in the house for too long. I get itchy feet and I get grumpy, he confessed. (C) Cover Media
